A status report was given by Mr. Burke on Kentucky Truck Stop Services. There was an abandoned drum left on the property as well as a sizeable amount of garbage. Mr. Burke cited the owners of the property and they contacted a firm called Geo Science Consultants Incorporated stating it was their drum and they were responsible for the drum.
The garbage has been cleaned up, but the drum still remains. Geo Science Incorporated sent someone down to check the drum to see if it was theirs. The Geo Science Incorporated representative called the Code Enforcement office stating it was not their drum and they were not responsible but did check to see what was in the drum. According to the findings of Geo Science Incorporated that drum has only water in it.
Mr. Burke addressed the board asking if they wished him to notify them again and readdress the issue. Chairman White told Mr. Burke to notify the owner of the property and tell him to remove the drum.
Mr. Jones made the suggestion that Mr. Burke send the owners a letter notifying them that Geo Science Incorporated determined that it is not their drum and that Kentucky Truck Stop Service needs to have the drum removed.
Mr. Jones suggested that we send him the report from Geo Science Incorporated and tell them this was the report the Code Enforcement office received. If he removes the barrel we will rescind the fine and abate the order, if not we will increase the fine and place a lien on the property.
Mr. Burke asked if the Board wishes to put an order in place to up the fine to $500 and place another lien on the property.
