So you know, Fred is going on vacation sometime later this summer and the hearing date may have to be adjusted to fit his schedule and that may result in the hearing being set over beyond 60 days. If so, it would seem reasonable taking into account Pam's intention to sell her property. It is not the City's intent to place any reasonable obstacles in her path. The City just wants the property brought into compliance. Let me know if you have any problems. Thanks. Mark Barber Senior Assistant City Attorney Renton City Attorney P.O.

The total amount owing the State is $13,528.05. This represents the 2004 through 2008 property taxes of $13,303.89 plus interest of $224.16 computed through August 31, 2008. The annual interest rate is eight percent for deferrals made prior to January 1, 2007, and the annual interest rate is five percent for deferrals made on or after that date. Interest will continue to accrue until the repayment is completed. Payment should be made to the Washington: State Department of Revenue and mailed to PO Box 47464, Olympia, WA 98504-7464. Please enclose a copy of this letter with your payment. Upon receipt of the total deferred amount, plus interest, the Department of Revenue will release the lien (Auditor's file number 20080520000428) being held on this property.

This property has been investigated by City of Renton employees in the past for code violations and animal neglect violations and it is known that Pamela Meyers, the property owner, lives in the house. Based on telephone interviews with the neighbors on either side of Meyers (Joan Webb and Martin Patricelli), I believed that Meyers did not have running water or an operating electrical system in her house, both of which are criminal code violations, and that she was creating a nuisance by maintaining a vermin habitat. Based on this belief, I prepared an affidavit for a search warrant to enter Meyers' house and determine if these crimes were being committed. On 06-19- 08, Judge Jurado issued this warrant and Special Operations personnel served it the same day. Meyers was home when the warrant was served but she refused to open the door. Entry was made through the front door and as we entered the house, I saw at least three large rats running around in the living room. Meyers was in the living room drying her hair with an electric hand dryer plugged in to a extension cord. Her hair was wet and she was wearing a towel wrapped around her body. Meyers said that she had just got out of the shower. I explained to Meyers why we were there and tried to allow her to sit down in the living room but I could not find a place I deemed safe for Meyers to sit. Given the conditions inside of the house, I was also now concerned for the health of the other officers who were attempting to clear the house. I gave Meyers a long coat from the living room and I took her outside. The other officers also exited the house until they could don gas masks to complete their tasks. The interior of the house was in total disarray with garbage, household items, numerous empty dog food cans, food packaging and containers, garbage bags containing unknown contents, clothing and other items covering the floor. Throughout the house, the floors were littered with rat and dog feces. There were numerous rats freely running throughout the house and rat feces was also present on nearly every horizontal surface. In the kitchen, the debris on the floor was piled higher than the counter top to the point that the sink could not be accessed without standing on the trash. The non -operating refrigerator had contents but none of it appeared to be edible food. The electric stove was covered in rust and appeared as if it had not been operated in years. The bathroom was in a similar condition. In the bathtub were two large buckets filled with dark gray -colored water and there was similar standing water in the bottom of the tub. This is the same bathroom where Meyers said she was taking a shower and I believe she was referring to bathing with this water. The toilet was not visible because of the debris stacked on top of it. Due to the hazardous conditions inside Meyers' house, the rear portion was not accessed or checked. It was apparent from the amount of garbage and the cobwebs in the hallway that no humans had been back there for some time. Meyers said that the water in her bathroom was black because she had taken it out of the Black River. She also said that the city told her that three rats were okay as pets. She later told me that she did not want to live with the rats but the city told her it was illegal to kill them. I believe that the conditions in which Meyers had been living presented a serious danger to both her health and the health of the public due to the large amount of rotting garbage and the rat infestation in her home_ I believe that currently Meyers is a threat to herself, that she cannot properly care for herself and she is unable to live alone. I called Renton Eire Dept, to transport Meyers for an involuntary mental evaluation. Meyers was taken to Valley Medical Center where she was assessed by mental health professionals, who determined that she did not meet their criteria to hold her and she was released a few hours later. City of Renton building inspectors determined that Meyers' house did not have an operating power system or running water. Meyers' house was posted "No Occupancy" by the building inspectors Donna Lacher - OL100RUB.rtf Page 2 due to the code violations. Because Meyers could no longer live there, I attempted to contact a family member to advise them of the situation. I called Heidi Randall (425-483-4407), a second cousin of Meyers who lives in Woodinville. Randall told me that she made arrangements for Meyers to stay in a local motel until June 26th. In the days proceeding the warrant service, I also received calls from Christine Randall (Meyers' second cousin) and Betty Levendusky (Meyers' cousin) who were seeking information. All of these family members told me that they have not had any contact with Meyers for several years. Meyers has an open DSHS Adult Protective Services case. I contacted her caseworker, Peter (206-341-7676) and advised him of Meyers current situation. I declare under penalty of perjury under the laws of the State of Washington that the foregoing is true and correct.

I went to the sight with the building official inorder to check to see if electrical power was still on the building. 1 discovered, after going into the building that there was so much garbage that had piled up over the years, that I wasn't able to get to the service panel or any of the power outlets etc. I then went outside and verified that an extension cord was plugged into a separate garage building outlet on the outside of the building. The cord had power going to it and was run through a window opening, which Larry and I confirmed was for a TV in the front room. I unplugged the cord and looked at the service meter outside to see if the disc was moving, which it was not, so I knew that the TV was the only thing within the house that was using electricity. The power source for the cord had to be corning from the house, which was hard to verify since there was so much over grown brush, and garbage scattered around the house. The garage wasn't accessible either since none of the doors were able to be opened with so much material piled behind there and the building was in such bad shape structurally that it was about to fall down.

Ali inspection was conducted at the above address in coordination with the Renton Police Dept. and code compliance to determine if the house was habitable. In my opinion, the house was not fit for human habitation. There was so much garbage and wet debris on the floor and up the walls that you could not conimunicate between the rooms. In some places it was four feet high. The water and electricty were not usable. The stench was so strong that breathing was difficult. This house should be demolished.

Hughs stated that a dog on Lake Ave. S. was barking until about 0200 hours this morning. Hughs was unsure of the address that the dog was barking from but stated that the dog was a Dalmatian. vas familiar with the house at 1622 Lake Ave. S. due to numerous complaints in the past concerning ,;gressive Dalmatians running loose. I met with Hughs in front of the above address and he confirmed that 1622 Lake Ave S. is the correct location of the barking dog. Hughs stated that the dogs at this location have regularly gotten out running around the neighborhood. During our conversation a Dalmatian charged from the yard south of us growling and barking quietly with his tail tucked, ears pulled back and the hair rose on his Page: 2 of 4 Rellon Police Depai " Case Report Detail vent pint Date/Time: 06/1112008 14:27 *RENTON POLICE DEPARTMENT Login ID: Jthomas ORI Number: WA0171300 Case Number: 2008-00005921 back. The dog circled around behind and we turned to face the dog causing it to stop its forward momentum. The dog backed up onto the yard at 1622 Lake continuing to bark and show its teeth. Eventually the dog turned and went under the carport at 1622. 1 took hold of a catch pole and went to the house and knocked on the door but nobody was answering. I tried to capture the dog but it ran south around the residence and disappeared before I could see where it went. I looked over the back fence and saw that there were six Dalmatians barking and jumping at the fence. All but one of the Dalmatian had a quiet bark due to a possible vocal surgery in the past. One Dalmatian barked at a normal pitch and was fenced off from the other five Dalmatians. I went back out to the street to get a Notice Of Violation (NOV) form to post on the door. While writing the N.O.V. the neighbor north of the residence came over and stated that he is afraid to let his kids play in the back yard because the dogs are out about every other day. The owner of the dogs pulled up the driveway and the neighbor quickly returned to his house. I asked the owner how many dogs he has and he stated "six". A Dalmatian then ran from the yard to the south barking and running north toward me but he stopped abruptly and turned back into the neighbor's yard. I went over to the property line to see how the dog was getting out of the yard but the dog was already gone. I asked the owner if he knows how the dogs are getting out and he said "no". He confirmed that the Dalmatian was one of his dogs. The owner of the Dalmatians is Sun, Chung -Bo with the date of birth of 06/09/1963. I informed Sun that he is required to have an Additional Animal Permit to have over three dogs. Sun said that he knows but it takes a year to obtain a permit in the city of Seattle. I informed Sun that he is in violation of a City of Renton ordinance for the amount of dogs at one residence and due to past complaints and his inability to keep his dogs contained will be receiving a citation for allowing a vicious to run at large. oun's Dalmatians have an ongoing history of being aggressive and getting loose. On 04/16/2008 1 received a dispatch of two Dalmatians getting loose from 1622 Lake Ave. S. and going after a neighbor's young daughter. I contacted Sun and gave him a verbal warning on not keeping his dog confined. Sun told me that he had three Dalmatians at the time and that they were licensed with the City of Renton. On 04/22/2008 two of his Dalmatian got loose and attacked a black Retriever type dog and the Dalmatians were contained by Sun and placed back into his yard. On this occasion I wrote Sun a written warning for a violation of the leash law. Sun told me that one of his dogs has been digging under the fence and that he will be placing concrete at the base of the fence to keep it from getting out. On 04/25/2008 Patrol responded to two Dalmatian loose from 1622 Lake Ave. S. and roaming the streets. On 04/26/2008 Sun did place concrete at the base of his fence on the South side of his back yard. The dogs continue to get out of his yard and roam the neighborhood. Sun does not know how the dogs are escaping and is not making additional attempts to keep his dogs confined. Sun will be receiving a citation for allowing a vicious dog to run at large. I declare under penalty of perjury under the laws of the State of Washington that the foregoing is true and correct.
