>> GOOD MORNING MY NAME IS RICHARD TURMAN 11809 WASHINGTON BOULEVARD. I SAW SOMEONE ELSE HAD SIGNED UP FOR THIS HOUSE, MAYBE THEY HAD MORE KNOWLEDGE THAN ME.

MAYBE YOU KNOW, AND HIS EYE TRACKERS.

BUT SINCE NO ONE ELSE IS UP THERE, I DID SPEAK YOU KNOW AND TALK TO HIM AND HE WAS REALLY HELPFUL ON THE INFORMATION.

MY WIFE HAS GOT IN TOUCH WITH MEGAN, WHO DOES LIVE IN ABILENE, VIA FACEBOOK. WE CANNOT REALLY GET, SHE LEFT HER CELL PHONE WE CANNOT, WE JUST HAVE NOT SPOKE TO HER PERSON. WE ARE VERY INTERESTED IN PURCHASING THIS PROPERTY. WE HAVE ACTUALLY DONE, WE RESTORED THE HOUSE TWO DOORS DOWN IN 2019.

THEN IN A 1918 HOUSE, WE RESTORED 2,017.

SO LOOKING AT THIS HOUSE I AM NOT SAYING, THE DAMAGE DOESN'T LOOK EXPENSIVE. WE DO HAVE EXPERIENCE, WE HAVE DONE THREE CONDEMNED HOUSES SO WE KNOW KIND OF WHAT TO DO.

WE HAVE DONE TWO HOUSES WITH FIRE DAMAGE.

SO, WE HAVE GOT EXPERIENCE THERE ALSO.

WE ARE JUST TRYING TO GET IN TOUCH WITH HER, AND GET THE BALL ROLLING AND FIND OUT WHAT IT WOULD TAKE TO PURCHASE IT AND GO FROM THERE. IS THERE ANY ADVICE THAT YOU ALL

TO GIVE WOULD SURE BE HELPFUL. >> WILL YOU HEAR HIM SAY IT IS

NOT IN HER NAME,. >> CORRECT, CORRECT.

>> THAT CAN BE A TIME-CONSUMING AND A ROBOT.

IT CAN BE OVERCOME OBVIOUSLY. >> YOU MENTIONED THAT HOUSE, THE HOUSE AT 1917 VOGEL, KIND A SIMILAR DEAL IS AN OLDER GENTLEMAN THAT HAD PASSED AWAY, AND HE HAS LIKE FIVE OR SIX HEIRS THAT HAD TO BE CONTACTED. I THINK THEY HAD TO SIGN OFF ON THE OWNERSHIP. I THINK THAT IS A YEAR OR TWO, AND I DO NOT KNOW HOW QUICK THIS HAS TO MOVE ON THIS PROPERTY BEING CONDEMNED LIKE IT IS. YES WE ARE SHORT WILLING TO DO WHATEVER WE CAN DO TO GET IT AND PURSUE IT.

IF MEGAN WOULD GET WITH US, AND WE CAN GET AN ATTORNEY OR SOMEBODY TO TELL US WHAT TO DO AS FAR AS THE OWNERSHIP AND ALL

OF THAT. >> IS THE BOARD'S POSITION AND THE STAFF IS RECOMMENDED THE 30, 60 AND THE 30 DAY WINDOW RESULT DOES NOT TAKE PLACE YOU CAN COME BACK TO US.

AND THEN OUR NEXT ACTION WOULD BE THE CONDEMNATION OR TO FOLLOW THAT WOULD BE DEMOLITION. FROM THE TITLE STANDPOINT AND EVERYTHING, YES IT WILL TAKE SOME TIME.

THIS PROPERTY HAS BEEN SITTING HERE FOR FOUR YEARS ALMOST.

SO, IF WE CANNOT MAKE CONTACT WITH THE TOP OF THE.

[00:35:08]

BACK. >> WILL IT COME BACK IN 30 DAYS

BASICALLY? >> BENEFITS THAT BRINGS IT UP, THE OWNER HAS 30 DAYS TO COME UP WITH A PLAN OF ACTION IF THEY DO NOT, THEN THEY WILL COME BACK. MAYBE TWO MONTHS BEFORE THE

ACTION COMES BACK TO US. >> OKAY, MAYBE THIS WILL HELP US TO TALK WITH US AND MAYBE HELP ON THE DECISIONS IS SAY THE CLOCK IS TICKING WANT TO DO SOMETHING QUICK.

>> TO BE CLEAR, YOUR PLAN IS IF YOU CAN OBTAIN TITLE TO THE PROPERTY, IT IS TO RE- HABIT? AS YOU HAVE DONE BEFORE?

>> WE HAVE DONE THAT FOR ANOTHER TWO HOUSES, AND HONESTLY A 1917, GOT HAMPERED BY 2014 HAILSTORMS. ALMOST ALL THE SYMPTOMS WERE OUT OF THAT HOUSE, THERE WERE THE GAS LINES, THEY GOT THAT MUCH ROCK. BUT THIS HOUSE THE ROOF LOOKED PRETTY GOOD AND I SAID WHILE WE ARE ALREADY A STEP AHEAD.

WE USUALLY GO IN AND GOT IT, DO DRYWALL, AND INSULATE THE WALLS IN THE SNOW INSULATION ANYWAY. WE HAVE GOT OUR HVAC GUY, WE HAVE A PLUMBER, WE HAVE AN ELECTRICIAN HERE IN TOWN THAT DOES ALL THE WORK. USUALLY PEOPLE COME IN AND PUT A NEW SERVICE PANEL AND, AND GET INTO ALL THE SPECIFIC STUFF.

THE LAST HOUSE THE 1917 VOGEL, YOU KNOW HOW BIG IS BACKED OF -- GOES BACK YARDS ARE. IF THE GAS LINE IS TO REPLACE THAT IS PROBABLY $3,000. WE JUST WENT ALL ELECTRIC ON THE LAST HOUSE AND IT WORKED REAL WELL FOR US.

BUT YES, I KNOW WE NEED TO GET IT GOING AND GET IT GOING PRETTY QUICK AND FIND OUT ABOUT OWNERSHIP THAT IS PROBABLY OUR BIGGEST PRIORITY FOR SURE. WE FEEL VERY QUALIFIED, AND I WOULD BE GLAD TO HAVE A DETAILED PLAN OF ACTION AND BE PRETTY WELL KNOW THE COST AND WHAT IT IS GOING TO BE.

PAIN MAY THE ONE EXCEPTION OF LUMBER DEPRESSIVE LOVER THESE DAYS. EVERYTHING DOES LOOK PRETTY

GOOD. >> WE WISH YOU THE BEST OF LUCK.

>> THANK YOU IT'S A MATTER OF TIME.

>> THANK YOU, ANY OTHER WISHING TO SPEAK TO THIS CASE STEP FORWARD AND STATE YOUR AND ADDRESS FOR THE RECORD.

>> I AM RON TENDER 1318 CIVIL, I HAVE AN INTEREST IN THIS HOUSE, MY DAUGHTER LIVES IN 1925. I HAVE SEEN THE WORK THAT HE IS DONE ON OTHER HOUSES. WE WOULD REALLY LIKE THE HOUSE TO BE REHABBED. YET, RIGHT IT RIGHT NOW I DON'T KNOW HOW YOU GETTING IT SECURED BECAUSE VAGRANCY ENVIRONMENTS ARE LIVING IN THERE. THE YARD IS NOT EVER CAP AND WE WOULD LIKE SOMETHING TO BE ABLE TO GO PRETTY QUICK.

WOULD HATE TO SEE THE HOUSE, I THINK IT IS STILL STRUCTURALLY SOUND. BUT I AM SURE IN LIFE TO THINK ABOUT THAT. THESE HOUSES ARE RIGHT UP ON TOP OF EACH OTHER, THAT HOUSES 17, I CALLED ONE TIME THINK THAT THERE WAS A DEAD PERSON IN THERE BECAUSE AN OLD MAN WENT INTO THE HOME AND THE SHUT THE ELECTRICITY OFF.

THAT WAS TERRIBLE. THEY HAD THE HAZMAT PEOPLE COME, BUT ANYWAY, I THINK THE HOUSE CAN BE REBUILT.

AT THIS POINT RIGHT NOW, SOMETHING IS GOING TO HAVE TO BE DONE PRETTY QUICK. I SAID IT IS BEEN THREE AND A HALF YEARS. AND THE NEIGHBORHOOD IS GOTTEN PRETTY WELL CLEANED UP. I STILL HAVE DONE WORK ON MY DAUGHTER'S HOUSE AND THAT WILL BE MY LAST ONE.

I WOULD LIKE, I AM ASKING THE CITY AND THIS GENTLEMAN, TO TRY TO STAY ON TOP OF IT AND LET'S SEE IF WE CAN GET SOMETHING DONE ONE WAY OR THE OTHER. BECAUSE IT IS AN EXTREME NUISANCE FOR WHAT THAT NEIGHBORHOOD IS DOING.

>> THANK YOU, I APPRECIATE YOUR COMMENTS.

ANY OTHERS WISHING TO SPEAK TO THIS CASE STEPPED FORWARD TO STATE YOUR NAME AND ADDRESS FOR THE RECORD.

SEEING NO ONE OTHER I WILL CLOSE THE PUBLIC AIRING ON CASE 21 --

[00:40:03]

DISCUSSION. >> COULD I ASK A QUESTION OF OUR LEGAL REPRESENTATIVE CHASE? MR. J -- MR. CRAIG.

IT WILL NOT SUPPLIES ANY OF THE COLLEAGUES ON THE BOARD THAT I AM CONFUSED. BUT ISN'T IT A MOOT POINT IF WE DON'T HAVE A CLEAR OWNER TO SEND A NOTICE TO THE OWNER OF 3060

AND 90 DAYS. >> THAT'S A GOOD QUESTION IT IS NOT A MOOT POINT, BECAUSE THE STAFF IS NOW INSTITUTED THE PRACTICE OF ALL OF THE ORDERS OF THE BOARD ARE ACTUALLY RECORDED IN THE REAL PROPERTY RECORDS OF THE COUNTY WHICH THE PROPERTY IS LOCATED. SO EITHER TAYLOR OR JOHNS COUNTY COURTHOUSE, SHOULD AFTER THIS MEETING THE 3060 ORDER, OR SAY THE BOARD WERE TO ISSUE A DEMOLITION ORDER AT SOME POINT, THAT ORDER IS ACTUALLY RECORDED IN THE REAL PROPERTY RECORDS.

IT IS TIED TO THE ADDRESS OF THE PROPERTY.

SO IT RUNS WITH THE PROPERTY. WHOEVER MIGHT PURCHASE THE PROPERTY AFTER THAT ORDER IS GIVEN, THEY PURCHASED THE PROPERTY SUBJECT TO THE REQUIREMENTS OF THE BOARD'S ORDER. THE PURPOSE OF THAT IS TRIED TO SPEED UP TIMELINES. AS YOU SEEN IN MANY CASES WHERE SOMEBODY COMES IN SAY WE SELL THIS TO SOMEONE ELSE.

PREVIOUSLY THAT WOULD HAVE TO RESTART THE WHOLE PROCESS.

SO THE IDEA BEHIND THAT IS TRY TO PREVENT THAT RESETS AND WHOEVER PURCHASES IT AND A NEW PROPERTY JUST GENERALLY SPEAKING, AND IN THIS CASE HAS TO DEAL WITH THE ISSUES OF WHAT THE BOARD IS ALREADY PUT IN PLACE.

>> THANK YOU. >> FOLLOW-UP TO MR. CHASE.

WE, THE BEST CASE SCENARIO, TO EXPEDITE THIS DISC AND TAKE PROBABLY A MINIMUM OF 90 DAYS TO.

>> WE WILL TABLE THIS CASE FOR 30 DAYS, AND MAYBE AT THAT TIME WE COULD GET A REPORT ON THE PROGRESS OF ANY POSSIBLE NEGOTIATIONS, AND IT WOULD NOT BE A 90 DAY DEAL OR A 60 DAY DEAL, WE WOULD SEE IT BACK AND 30, AND THEN IF THERE IS PROGRESS, WE COULD ORDER IT EXTENDED.

OR WE COULD HAVE THE 30 DAY DEAL AT THAT TIME.

THAT IS MY VIEW. >> THAT IS CERTAINLY WITHIN THE

BOARD'S DISCRETION. >> MR. CHAIRMAN I WOULD LIKE TO MAKE A MOTION TO TABLE THIS. FOR 30 DAYS, AND THEN WE CAN TAKE A LOOK AT IT AND MAYBE THEY CAN HAVE SOME TIME TO GET AN

ATTORNEY TO WORK ON THE TITLE. >> YES IF THERE IS PROGRESS, IT

COULD GO A LITTLE BIT LONGER. >> I WILL SECOND THAT.

>> MOTION BY MR. ALLRED AND A SECOND BY MR. SCHRADER THAT WE TABLE THIS CASE UNTIL THE AUGUST MEETING.

IN AN EFFORT TO ALLOW YOU TO HAVE TIME TO MAKE PROGRESS, IS THERE ANY FURTHER DISCUSSION? ROLL CALL PLEASE.

MAY 13, THE INERTIAL NOTICE OF 30 AND 60 DAY LETTERS WERE SENT. IN JUNE 10, SENT NOTICE FOR TODAY'S MEETING, AND TO 14TH POSTED THE NOTICE FOR TODAY'S MEETING. WE DID, WE WERE INFORMED THAT A DEMOLITION PERMIT WAS APPLIED FOR BY THE OWNER.

IT WAS YESTERDAY ON JULY 6 OF 2021.

SO THE RECOMMENDATION, I AM SORRY, PURSUANT TO CHAPTER EIGHT, THE FOLLOWING TWO CONDITIONS EXIST.

INADEQUATE SANITATION, SOCIAL HAZARD, NUISANCE, HAS AN ELECTRICAL WIRE, AND FAULTY WIND PROTECTION.

THE RECOMMENDATION IS TO ORDER THE OWNER TO REPAIR 30 DAYS TO OBTAIN ALL PERMITS AND PROVIDE A PLAN OF ACTION OF ACTION INCLUDING A TIMEFRAME OF REPAIR AND COSTS.

IF THIS IS DONE 60 DAYS TO OBTAIN ROUGH IN INSPECTION.

IF THIS IS DONE ALL FINAL INSPECTION SHALL BE DONE BY THE

COMPLETION OF ALL PERMITS. >> ANY QUESTIONS?

>> THE DEMOLITION PERMIT HAS BEEN APPLIED FOR?

>> YES, SIR. >> WILL THERE BE A NEED FOR US TO DO 30 OR 60 AFTER THE OWNER HAS APPLIED FOR A DEMO PERMIT?

>> THE REASON WHY WE RECOMMEND 30 OR 60 IS BECAUSE WE DID ALSO NOTICE THERE IS A FOR SALE SIGN NOTICE ON THE HOUSE.

SO WITH A 30-60 IN THE IF HE CHANGES HIS MIND AND DOESN'T WANT TO DEMOLISH HOUSE AND SELL IT INSTEAD AS MR. CRAIG SWAIN.

THE NEW OWNER WOULD BE RESPONSIBLE FOR THAT 30/60.

>> THANK YOU. >> ESSER.

>> ANY OTHER QUESTIONS? >> THANK YOU SIR, THIS TIME I'LL OPEN THE PUBLIC HEARING ON CASE 21 -- 001110.

ANYONE WISHING TO SPEAK TO THIS CASE PLEASE STEP FORWARD AND STATE YOUR NAME AND ADDRESS FOR THE RECORD.

SEEING NO ONE, WE WILL CLOSE THE PUBLIC HEARING ON 21 -- 001110.

AND OPEN THE FLOOR FOR DISCUSSION OR EMOTION.

THE HOUSE DOES HAVE A FOR SALE SIGN ON IT.

>> WOULD IT NOT BE A BETTER TO TABLE THIS AS WELL? RATHER THAN PUT A 30/60 DAY NOTICE?

>> I THINK MR. CRAIG SAID IF WE DO THE 30/60 GOES INTO THE RECORD THAT THE COUNTY OFFICE SO EVEN IF IT SELLS, THAT WILL BE ATTACHED TO IT. AND IT WILL FOLLOW THE NEW OWNER OR IT WILL COME BACK TO US IN THE NEXT MEETING.

>> THAT THE ORDER HAS BEEN ASSIGNED TO DEMOLISH, AND THAT'S WHY I WAS THINKING IT WOULD BE BETTER TO TABLE IT.

THEN IF IT IS NOT CARRIED THROUGH ON DEMOLITION, THEN WE CAN GIVE THE NEW OWNER 30 OR 60 DAYS AFTER THAT.

>> IS THAT EMOTION? >> YES OR I WILL MAKE THAT

EMOTION. >> MOTION BY MR. ALLRED THAT WE TABLE THIS UNTIL THE NEXT MEETING IN AUGUST.

>> I WOULD JUST LIKE ENTER IN THE CONVERSATION THAT WE AS A

[00:50:05]

THE ORDER AND SEQUENCE OF SOME OF THESE TOOLS, ARE NOW EXPEDITING ON ONE OF OUR DECISION MAKING PROCESSES.

WHICH I BELIEVE IS A GREAT THING.

THEN THE CASE PREVIOUS WEEK SOUGHT SOME ACTIVITY GENERATING SO WE OPTED FOR A TABLING. AND THAT IS JUST ANOTHER TOOL.

SO I REALLY DO THINK WE ARE ON A GOOD TRACK HERE GUYS.

I WILL THEN LIKE TO SAY, I DO UNDERSTAND HOW THE DECLARATION OF IN ORDER TO REPAIR COULD ENTER INTO THE TRACK.

ANOTHER TOOL IS THAT TABLING, IF WE SEE MORE TIME, MIGHT BE NECESSARY FOR THIS AND THIS ONE IS PRETTY FRESH INTO THE SYSTEM.

IT HADN'T BEEN SITTING AROUND SINCE A FIRE OR SOMETHING.

SO, I WOULD LIKE TO GIVE THIS ONE THAT SAME OPPORTUNITY AND

SECOND THE TABLE. >> ONE FOOTNOTE, THE HOUSES BEEN

BEEN SITTING THERE SINCE 2016. >> WELL, WE DO SEE SOME ACTIVITY AND POTENTIAL BUT THE I THINK THE TABLING IS STILL NOT THAT

DETRIMENTAL TO THE SITUATION. >> COULD I ASK A QUESTION? HOW LONG IS THE DEMOLITION PERMIT FOR?

>> SO, TYPICALLY A DEMOLITION OR ANY PERMITS ARE USUALLY GOOD FOR SIX MONTHS. NOW IF THERE IS A BOARD ORDER TIME BEHIND IT, THEN THERE IS MORE OF A RESTRICTED TIMELINE.

SO WE GIVE THEM ABOUT 30 DAYS AS IT STATES TO DEMOLISH OF THE CITY MAY DEMOLISH. SO, IN THIS CASE IF THE GENTLEMAN APPLY FOR THIS PERMIT YESTERDAY, HE DOES RECEIVE IT, HE WOULD HAVE SIX MONTHS TO DEMOLISH THE PROPERTY.

>> SO TABLING THIS FOR 30 DAYS WOULD PROTECT THE OWNER AND GIVE THE OWNER OPTIONS AND STILL PROTECT THE COMMUNITY IN THE

CITY? >> I MEAN, I GUESS YES, TO ANSWER YOUR QUESTION, IF YOU TABLE IT, ANY EXTENSIONS GIVEN ARE GOING TO GIVE HIM OPTIONS. AS I STATED WITH A 30/60, IT STILL GIVES HIM TIME TO EITHER TRY TO SELL IT ALL REPAIR IT HIMSELF OR FOLLOW THROUGH WITH THE INITIAL PLAN OF DEMOLISHING THE STRUCTURE. AS FAR AS TABLING, ALTHOUGH C EXTENDS MORE TIME. THERE IS ALWAYS A POSSIBILITY THAT THEY DEMOLISH IT NEXT WEEK, AND WE WILL BRING BACK UP JUST A

VACANT LOT. >> THERE IS A MOTION ON THE FLOAT BY MR. ALLRED TO TABLE THIS CASE FOR 30 DAYS AND A SECOND, BY MR. SCHRADER. ARE THERE ANY OTHER QUESTIONS OR COMMENTS OR DISCUSSION? ROLL CALL PLEASE.

>> OUR -- CONCLUDE OUR AGENDA TODAY.

I WISH THE BEST OF LUCK TO THOSE WHO TESTIFIED AND HOPEFULLY WE AVAILED THE PROCESS. THANK YOU FOR YOUR SERVICE.
