Subject: Bjorkman Property Demolition Update /Concerns
Just wanted to provide everyone with an update on the Bjorkman Property:
The City received a court order yesterday which gives the City the authority to demolish the
structures.
The City Council voted last night to award the quote to Larson Contracting, Inc., and I am working
with them to schedule the demolition project. I will let you know when the project will begin so
that the City can remove any of our property (fences,etc.) from the site, and because we will likely
want to coordinate a police presence on the site during the time the buildings come down.
Please let me know of any unauthorized activity at this site until then. Until we schedule the
project nothing should be happening there. I am concerned about this now as today I learned
that Mr. Bjorkman may have also entered into a contract on his own to demolish the buildings this
f weekend. Because of the court order, he does not have the authority to do this, nor does he
have a permit- only the City is authorized to do the work.
Thanks! - and please let me know if you have any questions. Kris
