City should send
thanks to Salata
Re: “Officials eye fine for tarp removal” (Page A1, Sept. 19).
For years, the city of San Jose sat on its hands. For years, the property owner ignored its responsibilities. And what did Jim Salata do?
Eliminated potential sources of catastrophic fire, removed debris and dry vegetation, secured windows to protect the integrity of a historical asset, repaired portions of the damaged roof, and pulled out a years-old, ragged tarp topping off an eyesore.
Fine him? City staff and Councilmember Omar Torres should be sending Jim Salata thank you
