[00:05:10]

SOUTH SIDE. HERE IS AN OVERHEAD VIEW THAT SHOWS THE PROXIMITY OF 1018 ORANGE STREET ON THE LEFT AND THE OTHER ORGANIZATION ON THE RIGHT. THIS PROPERTY CAME TO OUR ATTENTION BECAUSE THE VAGRANTS THAT HAD TAKEN OVER 1018 ORANGE HAD TAKEN OVER OR UTILIZING THE SERVICES AT THAT BUILDING ON THE RIGHT SIDE. THESE ARE THE SUBSTANDARD CODE VIOLATIONS FOUND WITH INADEQUATE SANITATION, STRUCTURAL HAZARD, NUISANCE, HAZARDOUS WIRING AND PLUMBING.

AND OUTSIDE. THESE ARE THE CURRENT CONDITIONS INSIDE. IT HAS BEEN CLEANED UP BY THE PREVIOUS OWNER. BUT IT DOES STILL HAVE ISSUES NOT ADDRESSED WITH ELECTRICAL HAZARDS. AND SOME ADDITIONAL ISSUES INSIDE. THERE IS INADEQUATE SANITATION.

AND THEN A DANGEROUS SUBSTRUCTURE IN THE BACKYARD.

AND THE TIMELINE OF EVENTS IS NOVEMBER 30, 2021. WE WERE INFORMED THAT VAGRANTS TOOK OVER AND CAUSED DISTURBANCES AND HARASSING INDIVIDUALS USING THE WOMEN AND CHILDREN ORGANIZATION LOCATED ACROSS THE STREET AND WE INSPECTED THE PROPERTY AND CONDEMNED IT AT THAT TIME. ON DECEMBER 2, 2021 THE AFFIDAVIT OF CONDEMNATION WAS FILED WITH THE CLERK AND ON DECEMBER 7 WE SENT THE INITIAL NOTICE AND A 3060 LETTERS TO THE OWNER. I SPOKE TO THE OWNER AND HE SAID HE WANTED TO REPAIR IT AND SELL IT. IN MARCH 11 OF 2022 A PERMIT WAS ISSUED AND THE PERMIT EXPIRED AND NO WORK COMPLETED. IN DECEMBER OF 2022 THE BOARD ORDERED A 3060 AND THE OWNER WAS IN ATTENDANCE AT THE HEARING. HE STATED HE WAS COMFORTABLE WITH THE 3060 AND WANTING TO REPAIR THE HOUSE BEFORE HE SOLD IT.

APRIL 19 OF 2024, WE DID INSPECT THE PROPERTY AND FOUND THE FRONT DOOR TO BE WIDE OPEN WITH GRASS OVERGROWN AND STILL A DANGEROUS UNSECURED SUBSTRUCTURE IN THE BACKYARD WITH NO ACTIONS TAKEN BY THE PROPERTY OWNER OR THE CONTRACTOR. WE SECURED THE MAIN STRUCTURE AND THE REAR ISN'T SECURABLE AND A PROPER PLAN OF ACTION HAS NOT BEEN SUBMITTED WITH NO PERMIT ISSUED. ON APRIL 25 OF 2024 WE DISCOVERED A LIEN HOLDER AND SENT CONDEMNATION NOTICES TO THE LIEN HOLDER. AND IN MAY 2024 WE SPOKE TO THE LIEN HOLDER AND EXPLAINED IT WAS CONDEMNED AND HAD REPAIR AND WE LET THE LIEN HOLDER KNOW WE ARE WAITING ON A COMPLETE PLAN OF ACTION AND FOR THE PERMIT TO BE PULLED AND WE ALSO EXPLAINED THE CURRENT CONDITION OF THE PROPERTY AND ASKED THEY HAVE THE OWNER MOW THE GRASS AND KEEP THE PROPERTY SECURED.

NO CONTACT FROM THE OWNER AND NO PLAN OF ACTION OR PERMIT PULLED. IN JUNE 4, 2024, WE WERE CONTACTED BY EMAIL BY THE GENERAL CONTRACTOR AND THEY SAID THEY WOULD CLEAN, MOW AND MAKE SURE THE PROPERTY STAYS SECURE IN THE NEXT 48 HOURS AND THEN THEY WANTED IT REMOVED FROM THE CONDEMNATION AND THEY SAID THEY HAVE EVERY INTENTION OF DOING REHAB ON THE PROPERTY. AND ANGELA 11 THE HEARING WAS SENT TO THE LIEN HOLDER AND ON JUNE 13 THE NOTICE OF THE JULY HEARING WAS POSTED AT THE PROPERTY AND ON JUNE 26 I DID INSPECT THE PROPERTY WITH NO CHANGE FOUND AND HE DIDN'T FOLLOW THROUGH DURING ANY CLEANUP AND THEY HAVEN'T MADE CONTACT WITH US TO EXPLAIN AND THE STAFF RECOMMENDATION IS TO FIND THE PROPERTY AS A PUBLIC NUISANCE AND A HAZARD TO THE SAFETY AND WELFARE AND THE OWNERS ORDER TO DEMOLISH OR PAY

THIS IS INADEQUATE SANITATION. AN ADDITIONAL

[00:30:01]

INADEQUATE SANITATION. THIS IS HAZARDOUS ELECTRICAL AND MECHANICAL. AND THEN THE TIMELINE OF EVENTS, JULY 11 OF 2023 IT WAS FOUND TO BE UNSECURED, BACON AND DILAPIDATED AND THIS COULD BE OPEN FOR CONDEMNATION AND JULY 19 OF 23 THE AFFIDAVIT OF CONDEMNATION WAS RECORDED AT THE CLERK'S OFFICE AND JULY 20 THE NOTICE AND 30-60 WERE SENT TO THE ADDRESS OF RECORD. ON AUGUST 11 OF 23 WAS SENT THE NOTICE OF CONDEMNATION TO THE PROPERTY OWNER INCARCERATED AND DECEMBER 6 THE BOARD ORDERED A 30-60 AND THEN DECEMBER 28 WE SPOKE TO A POTENTIAL BUYER OF THE PROPERTY RECOMMENDING THEY BE AT THE BOARD HEARING AND ON FEBRUARY 7 THE BOARD ORDERED ANOTHER 30-60 AND NONE OF THE PROPERTY PURCHASES WERE IN ATTENDANCE AT THAT HEARING. MARCH 19, THE PROPERTY CHANGED OWNERSHIP AND APRIL FOR THE BOARD ORDERED A 30-60 IN THE NEW OWNER WAS IN ATTENDANCE. MAY 3 OF 24 WE MET WITH THE NEW OWNER AT CITY HALL AND PROVIDED A COPY OF THE PLAN OF ACTION AND EXPLAINED THE PERMITTING PROCESS. ON MAY 7, WE RECEIVED AN INCOMPLETE PLAN OF ACTION AND CONTACTED THE OWNER FOR CORRECTIONS. MAY 22 THE PLAN OF ACTION WAS APPROVED IN THE OWNER NOTIFIED THAT THE PERMIT COULD BE APPLIED FOR AND IN THE UNIFICATION -- THEY NEEDED TO GET REGISTERED WITH THE CITY BEFORE A PERMIT COULD BE ISSUED. AND ON MAY 29 OF 2024 WE CONTACTED THE OWNER TO REMIND THEM THEY SHOULD BE APPLYING FOR THE PERMIT AND ON JUNE 10 OF 24 AN OUT-OF-TOWN GENERAL CONTRACTOR CAME TO CITY HALL TO APPLY FOR A PERMIT AND HE CAME IN BY HIMSELF AND DIDN'T BRING HIS TRADE WORKERS WITH HIM THAT WORK FOR HIM SO THEY COULD ALL GET REGISTERED WITH THE CITY. HE WAS ALSO TOLD HOW TO ACQUIRE THAT AND WE HAVEN'T SEEN THAT CONTRACTOR AGAIN SINCE JUNE 12 OF 2024 WITH THE NOTICE OF HEARING POSTED AND SENT TO THE PROPERTY OWNER. ON JUNE 27 A NEW CONTRACTOR CAME IN ATTEMPTING TO PULL A PERMIT UNDER ANOTHER GC HE IS ASSOCIATED WITH AND HE WAS GIVEN A COPY OF THE PERMIT APPLICATION AND EXPLAIN THE REQUIREMENTS AND I REACHED OUT TO THE OWNER TO PROVIDE US WITH AN UPDATED PLAN OF ACTION WITH THE NEW CONTRACTOR'S INFORMATION AND COST ESTIMATES BUT WE ARE STILL WAITING FOR THAT AND ON JULY 2 THE SAME CONTRACTOR CAME IN TO SUBMIT THE PERMIT APPLICATION AND IT LISTED AN ELECTRICIAN AND PLUMBER NOT CREDENTIALED WITH THE CITY AND THE PLUMBER AND ELECTRICIAN DIDN'T COME IN TO GET CREDENTIALED. NO UPDATED PLAN OF ACTION WITH COST ESTIMATES HAVE BEEN SUBMITTED.

AND WE CONTACTED THE OWNER AND EXPLAINED IT COULDN'T BE ISSUED UNTIL THE GC IS REGISTERED WITH THE CITY AND THE SUBCONTRACTORS COME INTO SHOW LICENSE AND BECOME REGISTERED AS WELL. THE STAFF RECOMMENDATION IS FINDS POVERTY IS A PUBLIC NUISANCE AND THERE IS A HAZARD TO THE PUBLIC HEALTH AND SAFETY AND WELFARE AND REPAIR WOULD BE UNREASONABLE. IN ORDER FOR THEM TO DEMOLISH OR APPEAL WITHIN 30 DAYS OF THE CITY COULD DEMOLISH.

>> ANY QUESTIONS FOR MR. MARSH?

>> THANK YOU. AT THIS TIME WE WILL OPEN UP THE PUBLIC HEARING ON CASE 23 DASH 003173 AND ANYBODY WISHING TO SPEAK TO THIS CASE PLEASE STEP FORWARD AND STATE YOUR NAME FOR THE

RECORD. >> GOOD MORNING. I'M THE PROPERTY OWNER OF THAT ADDRESS. I HAVE BEEN TRYING TO WORK WITH THE CITY ON GETTING ALL THE PERMITS AND THE PEOPLE THAT I HAVE REACHED BECAUSE I AM NOT FROM HERE. I AM FROM SAN ANGELO. AS FAR AS MY UNDERSTANDING IS THEY HAVE TO BE FROM HERE FROM ABILENE AND HAVE TO BE REGISTERED HERE.

THAT IS WHERE MY ISSUE AND PROBLEM HAS BEEN AND I WOULD LIKE FOR YOU ALL TO LET ME BRING LICENSED CONTRACTORS FROM SAN ANGELO SO THEY COULD WORK HERE ON THIS PROPERTY AND GET IT DONE. I KNOW THEY HAVE TO BE LICENSED AND IT WOULD BE OWNER OCCUPIED AND I WON'T PUT MYSELF INTO SOMETHING THAT ISN'T DONE PROPERLY. SO YESTERDAY I CONTACTED A CONTRACTOR HEAR FROM ABILENE AND I THINK IT IS JOHNNY TORRES CONSTRUCTION. HE WILL LOOK AT THE PROPERTY AND GIVE ME AN ESTIMATE TO DO ALL THE WORK AND I DON'T MIND DOING IT BUT FOR HIM TO BE FAIR NOT TO TAKE ADVANTAGE OF ME BECAUSE I DON'T KNOW MUCH ABOUT IT BUT I WOULD LIKE TO GET IT DONE AND

OCCUPY THE PROPERTY. >> FOR CLARIFICATION, THE CONTRACTOR DOESN'T HAVE TO BE FROM ABILENE BUT THEY DO HAVE

[00:35:02]

TO BE REGISTERED WITH US. THE MECHANICAL PLUMBING AND ELECTRICAL REQUIRE STATE LICENSE AND TO BE REGISTERED IN THE GC AND THEY DON'T HAVE TO BE FROM ABILENE BUT THEY DO HAVE TO REGISTER WITH US AND CARRY A $75,000 SURETY BOND FOR

CLARIFICATION. >> THEY DO HAVE THAT, THE PEOPLE I HAVE BEEN WORKING IN TALKING TO. AND ALSO I PUT HOMEOWNER INSURANCE ON THE PROPERTY WHENEVER THEY START WORKING. ALSO I WOULDN'T DO ANYTHING WITHOUT ANYBODY THAT IS AND LICENSED. BUT IT HAS TO BE ONE THING AT A TIME AND I HAVE TO START WITH ONE THING AND I DON'T HAVE THAT KIND OF MONEY. I JUST HAVE TO DO ONE THING. I DID NOTICE IN THE PAPERWORK THAT IT IS LISTED MAYBE A PRICE FOR THIS IN A PRICE FOR THAT. I CAN COME UP WITH AN AVERAGE. BUT THAT PROBABLY WON'T HAPPEN THAT WAY BECAUSE, YOU KNOW, I DON'T KNOW THE PRICES. AND I DON'T KNOW HOW MUCH PEOPLE -- I KNOW HOW MUCH IT WILL COST FROM SAN ANGELO IF THEY DO THE WORK THAT I DON'T KNOW ANYBODY HERE, HOW MUCH IT WILL COST TO HAVE IT DONE. I AM SEARCHING AND AGAIN PEOPLE HAVE TAKEN ADVANTAGE MANY TIMES. I AM A SINGLE LADY, AN OLD LADY SO I DON'T WANT ANYBODY TAKING ADVANTAGE OF ME.

>> WHAT ARE YOUR INTENTIONS FOR THE PROPERTY?

>> I WILL OCCUPY IT. I DO STILL WORK. I LIVE IN SAN ANGELO. BUT I STARTED WORKING FOR THE VETERANS ADMINISTRATION HERE AND I BELIEVE -- AND I HAVE A RESTAURANT AS WELL.

>> MA'AM, I APPRECIATE YOUR BEING HERE. I AM AN ELECTRICAL CONTRACTOR. I THINK THE PROCESS OF GETTING REGISTERED HERE, IT SHOULDN'T BE THAT TOUGH AND I THINK IT IS SOMETHING THAT IF THEY REALLY WANTED TO REGISTER YOU SHOULD BE ABLE TO. IF THEY ARE LICENSED, IT SHOULDN'T BE THAT HARD.

>> BEING LICENSED IN TEXAS SHOULDN'T BE A PROBLEM.

>> THERE MAY BE AN ISSUE WE ARE NOT AWARE OF BUT THAT WOULD REALLY HELP YOU GREATLY AND I THINK YOU'LL BE ABLE TO BRING IN A PLUMBER AND ELECTRICIAN FROM SAN ANGELO. A $75,000 SURETY BOND IS NOT THAT EXPENSIVE I DON'T THINK THE PAPERWORK IS THAT TOUGH SO IF THAT IS YOUR BEST BET I WOULD ENCOURAGE YOU TO REACH BACK OUT AND SEE WHAT THEIR STICKING POINT WAS AND I KNOW THE CITY IS COOPERATIVE AND FAIR. YOU SHOULD BE ABLE TO BRING BACK IF THAT IS WHAT YOU ARE DOING.

>> OKAY. I WOULD LIKE TO START WITH THE FOUNDATION WHICH IS THE NUMBER ONE THING AND ALL THE EXTERIOR. AGAIN, THE CONTRACTOR, WHOEVER THE ELECTRICIAN OR PLUMBER IS, IT IS JUST LIKE WHAT HAPPENED. I HAD ONE AND THEN HE BACKED OUT BECAUSE HE SAID I DON'T KNOW IF IT WILL BE THE SAME ELECTRICIAN THAT I LISTED ON THE PAPERWORK. THIS IS BY THE TIME THE WORK HAS TO BE DONE. SO THEY CAN'T COME ALL AT ONCE TO DO SOMETHING THAT IS NOT 100% SURE BECAUSE IT IS GOING ONE STEP AT A TIME. I DON'T KNOW HOW MUCH IT WILL TAKE TO DO THE FOUNDATION ON THAT PROPERTY.

>> I DO APPRECIATE HOW YOU ARE PUTTING THE THOUGHT AND PLANNING INTO IT. BUT IF YOU DO AN ELECTRICIAN THAT CAN'T MAKE IT IT'S A MATTER OF TALKING TO THE CITY HALL TO GET A DIFFERENT ELECTRICIAN THAT TAKES THEIR PLACE. WE APPRECIATE THE THOUGHT YOU ARE PUTTING INTO IT. BUT YOU WILL BE ABLE TO GET PEOPLE AND IF SOMEBODY CAN'T SHOW UP AND YOU ALREADY LISTED THEM, IT IS FAIRLY EASY TO TALK TO CITY HALL AND GET THE REQUEST BACK. IS NOT HARD. BUT ONCE AGAIN I DO APPRECIATE YOUR BEING HERE AND I HOPE YOU CAN TAKE CARE OF

THIS. >> OKAY.

>> ARE YOU IN THE PROCESS OF CLEANING THE PLACE UP AT THE

MOMENT? >> YESTERDAY THEY DID STARTED AND WE ALREADY GOT TO DO SOME OF IT AND THEY WERE DOING ANOTHER PART AND IT HAS BEEN CLEAN. AND ALSO, YESTERDAY WHEN THEY WERE CLEANING SOME CITY EMPLOYEES CAME AND SAID INAUDIBLE ] AND JUST KIND OF MAKING THE PEOPLE WORKING THERE THAT I HIRED HEAR FROM ABILENE TO WORK AND THEY COME AND SAY -- THERE IS NOTHING WRONG WITH CLEANING BUT THIS IS THE SECOND TIME THAT WE HAVE TRIED IN THE FIRST TIME THE PEOPLE WALKED AWAY AND THEY DIDN'T WANT TO HELP ME. AND THEN THIS ONE YESTERDAY I'M GOING TO CHECK IT OUT AND I WILL BE RIGHT

[00:40:04]

BEHIND THEM TO MAKE SURE THEY DO IT RIGHT AND I REPEAT IT WILL BE ME OCCUPYING AND I WANT THINGS DONE THE RIGHT WAY AND I WANT TO BE SAFE AND I DON'T WANT TO DO ANY OLD STUFF WITH NEW STUFF BUT IT WILL TAKE TIME. I WILL PUT IT ALL NEW.

>> ARE YOU FAMILIAR WITH THE 30-60 DAY MILESTONE THAT WE NORMALLY DO IN CASES LIKE THIS WHERE WE GIVE YOU 30 DAYS TO PROVIDE A PLAN OF ACTION AND GET PERMITS? AND IF THAT IS DONE YOU GET INSPECTIONS ON YOUR LICENSED CONTRACTORS THAT YOU HAVE 60 DAYS TO DO THAT? WOULD THAT BE AN ACCEPTABLE

TIMELINE FOR YOU? >> YES. I WAS HERE I THINK IT MAY. AND YOU GAVE ME THAT BUT IT HAS BEEN SO HARD FOR ME, YOU KNOW. IT HAD BEEN LIKE THREE PEOPLE AND I DON'T KNOW OR I DIDN'T COME WITH THEM AND I DID COME WITH ONE AND IT IS BEEN HARD TO FILL OUT THAT PAPERWORK AND THEY ARE BONDED AND GOOD PEOPLE AND THEY DO BUILD NEW HOMES, BUT FOR SOME REASON WE CAN'T GET PERMITS FOR THAT PROPERTY. AND I STILL DON'T UNDERSTAND THAT. I DON'T KNOW TOO MUCH. BUT I AM AWARE OF THAT AND I THINK IF YOU GAVE ME TIME AND NOW THAT I HAVE THIS CONTRACTOR FROM HEAR FROM ABILENE MR. TORRES, I THINK YOU WILL MOVE FORWARD A LOT FASTER.

>> WHAT IS YOUR GOAL -- WHAT TIME WOULD YOU LIKE TO HAVE THAT PROPERTY DONE AND OUT OF CONDEMNATION?

>> A MINIMUM OF SIX MONTHS AND IT COULD TAKE ME LONGER BUT SIX MONTHS WOULD BE, I THINK, I COULD GET IT IF I COULD GET THE RIGHT PEOPLE TO HELP ME WORK ON IT.

>> OKAY. OKAY. ANY OTHER QUESTIONS?'S

>> THANK YOU. >> ANY OTHERS WISHING TO SPEAK TO THIS CASE, PLEASE STEP FORWARD AND STATE YOUR NAME FOR THE RECORD. SEEING NO ONE, I WILL CLOSE THE PUBLIC HEARING ON CASE #23-003173 AND OPEN THE FLOOR FOR DISCUSSION OR EMOTION. -- A MOTION. IT LOOKS TO ME LIKE A 30-60 DEAL WOULD BE IN ORDER FOR THIS CASE TO GIVE HER TIME AND GIVE HER THE SIX MONTHS SHE HAS ASKED FOR. IT LOOKS LIKE SHE IS INTENT ON FIXING THIS PLACE. GETTING OUT OF THE CONDEMNATION.

>> I MOVE WE GIVE HER 30 DAYS TO PROVIDE A PLAN OF ACTION INCLUDING A TIMEFRAME FOR REPAIRS AND COST ESTIMATES AND OBTAIN ALL PERMITS AND IF THIS IS DONE 60 DAYS TO OBTAIN ROUGH IN INSPECTION AND IF THIS WAS DONE ALL FINAL INSPECTIONS COULD BE COMPLETED BY THE EXPIRATION OF ALL PERMITS.

>> SECOND. >> A MOTION AND A SECOND. THAT THE OWNER IS ORDERED TO REPAIR AND SHE HAS 30 DAYS TO PROVIDE A PLAN OF ACTION INCLUDING A TIMEFRAME FOR REPAIR AND COST ESTIMATES AND OBTAIN ALL PERMITS.

THINK ABOUT THAT A LITTLE BIT. FROM A LEGAL POINT OF VIEW, --

>> IF YOU GIVE A 30-60, THE OWNER CAN STILL PULL A PERMIT AND DEMOLISH IT AND THERE IS NOTHING STOPPING THE OWNER FROM DEMOLISHING IT. IF YOU DO ORDER DEMOLITION, THEN THE OWNER IS ORDERED TO DEMOLISH. IF -- THE CITY MAY DEMOLISH IF THE OWNER DOESN'T DO SO. REALLY, EITHER WAY, THE OWNER IS EITHER ORDERED TO DEMOLISH OR THE OWNER STILL MAY DO THAT IF YOU ORDER 30-60 THE OWNER IS REQUIRED BUT THE OWNER ISN'T PROHIBITED FROM AND HE CAN PULL THE DEMO PERMIT TODAY IF HE WANTED TO DEMOLISH IT. IT IS UP TO YOU.

>> CAN WE GET HIM BACK UP HERE.

ME HAVING A CONTRACTOR, NO. >> YOU WOULD BE THE ONE RESPONSIBLE FOR CONTACTING AND MAKING SURE THAT IS SET UP AND NOT PUTTING -- FINDING THE PUBLIC NUISANCE PART OF THE PROPERTY AND REQUIRING YOU OR ORDERING YOU? WOULD DO THAT ON

YOUR FREE WILL? >> RIGHT. THERE IS ALSO THE PROPERTIES HOLDER AND WHETHER OR NOT HE WANTS TO DO SOMETHING WITH IT, I WOULD HAVE TO GET WITH HIM AND SEE WHAT HE WANTS TO DO. THAT IS ABOUT IT BUT I CAN KEEP IN TOUCH.

>> THE ACTUAL CHARGES FROM THE CONTRACTOR TO DEMOLISH, YOU ARE CLAIMING THAT RESPONSIBILITY, OR DO YOU THINK THE CITY WOULD

? >> I WOULD PROBABLY HAVE TO

ASSUME THAT. >> YOU HAVE THE ABILITY TO DO

THAT? >> YES, SIR. NOT THAT I WOULD

REALLY WANT TO. >> ANY OTHER QUESTIONS?
