25. YOU CAN SEE FROM THE STREET TO THE BACK PICTURE ON THE LEFT WHERE THE GARAGE DOORS ARE GONE. THESE PICTURES DEPICT WHERE THERE IS NO HANDRAILS OR GUARDRAILS. THE CURRENT STATE , UNFINISHED ELECTRICAL, AND WINDOWS THAT WE'VE HAD TO BOARD OVER SEVERAL BROKEN WINDOWS RECENTLY. THIS PHOTO THE PICTURE ON THE LEFT AUGUST 2024 PICTURE ON THE RIGHT IS CURRENT SHOWS WHERE THE GARAGE DOORS WILL BE MOVED. THIS IS THE UNFINISHED POOL IN THE BACK. HARD TO SEE BUT THERE'S A LARGE HOLE ON ONE SIDE OF THE POOL VERY DANGEROUS SO WE PUT A CONSTRUCTION FENCE AROUND THE HOLE. TIMELINE OF EVENTS SKIPPED TO THE HIGHLIGHTS APRIL 5, 2023 THE BOARD ISSUED 30 -60 ORDER SEPTEMBER 2023 PROPERTY WAS PURCHASED , JULY 21, 2020 FOR THE BUILDING PERMIT EXPIRED . OCTOBER 2, 2020 FOR THE BOARD ORDER DEMOLITION AT THE TIME THE SAME DAY THE PROPERTY OWNER PAID OFF THE BACK TAXES. OCTOBER 3 WE SECURED PERIMETER OF THE INGROUND POOL.

OCTOBER 10 THE TWO DOORS LEADING TO THE INSIDE OF THE HOUSE FROM THE GARAGE DOORS REMOVED SECURED BY THE CITY. DECEMBER 10 THE LARGE WINDOWS BROKEN OUT IN THOSE HAD TO BE SECURED BY THE CITY. JANUARY 31 OF 2025 WAS WHEN WE DISCOVERED ASSIGNMENT OF A DEED OF TRUST DATED NOVEMBER 2023 BETWEEN DOUBLE BACKFLIP LLC ASSIGNING DEED OF TRUST TO MORTGAGE FUNDING LLC . OCTOBER 2024 BOARD HEARING NOTICE IN OCTOBER 2024 BOARD DECISION DEMOLITION WAS UNINTENTIONALLY NOT SENT TO THE LLC MORTGAGE FUNDING SO ONCE WE DISCOVERED THIS WE DECIDED TO BRING THE PROPERTY BACK TO THE BOARD SO ALL PARTIES COULD HAVE THEIR DUE PROCESS. VERY 12 2025 ALL PARTIES WERE SENT NOTIFICATION OF THE HEARING. EVERY 13TH OF 25 NOTICE OF THE MARCH HEARING POSTED ON THE STRUCTURE FEBRUARY 19 NOTICE OF THE MARCH HEARING WAS FILED COUNTY PROPERTY RECORDS TO MAKE SURE WE COULD CATCH UP EVERYBODY. EVERY 20TH OF 25 WE RECEIVED A CALL FROM DOUBLE BACKFLIP LLC THE FIRST CONTACT WE HAVE HAD WITH THEM.

THEY STATED THEY WILL GO AFTER THE OWNER FOR PROPERTY IN DEFAULT. WANTED TO KNOW IF WE WOULD PUT OFF THE DEMOLITION ORDER IF THEY BEGIN FORECLOSURE. WE ADVISED THEM TODAY ABOUT THE HEARING AND THEY STATED THEY WOULD BE ABLE TO GET THE DEED TO TRANSFER TO THEIR NAME AND IF SO GIVE THEM TIME TO SELL THE PROPERTY WE ADVISED THEM TO SEND A REPRESENTATIVE TO THE HEARING WHICH I DON'T BELIEVE THEY DID, THE PERSON COMING HAD A SICKNESS IN THE FAMILY BUT THEY DID SEND AN EMAIL WITH THEIR PLANS. FOR THE FORECLOSURE AND THE DEED TRANSFER AND REPAIR PROPERTY IF YOU WANT TO TAKE A MINUTE TO LOOK THAT OVER.

STAFF RECOMMENDATION IS TO FIND THE PROPERTY IS A PUBLIC NUISANCE AND HAZARD TO THE PUBLIC HEALTH, SAFETY AND WELFARE. TO ORDER THE OWNERS ORDER TO DEMOLISH AND APPEAL TO DISTRICT COURT WITHIN 30 DAYS CITY DEMAND DEMOLISH.

>> ANY QUESTIONS? >> THE CITY IS PREPARED TO DO

THE DEMOLITION IF NEED BE. >> MR. MARSH SO THE CITY OF ABILENE PUT UP THE FENCE AROUND THE POOL?

>> YES ARE WE DID THAT. >> ANY OTHER QUESTIONS? THANK YOU MR. MARSH. THIS TIME I WILL OPEN THE PUBLIC HEARING IS NUMBER 22- 002791. ANYONE WISHING TO SPEAK TO THE CASE PLEASE STEP FORWARD AND STATE YOUR NAME FOR THE RECORD.

>> MR. CHAIRMAN, MEMBERS OF THE BOARD I AM

[00:10:04]

THE HOMEOWNERS ASSOCIATION AND THE SUBDIVISION. I WOULD LIKE SOME CLARIFICATION FROM MR. MARSH . ON THE SCREEN I WAS READING AND WE HAD TO GO TO SOMETHING ELSE. FROM THE INFORMATION YOU HAVE GOTTEN , WHO IS SUPPOSEDLY THE CURRENT

LIENHOLDER? >> THERE'S TWO. DOUBLE BACKFLIP

THE MAJORITY LIENHOLDER AND . >> SO THE DEED OF TRUST THE ORIGINAL WASN'T A SON IN FULL FROM WHAT YOU WERE TOLD?

>> ORIGINALLY DOUBLE BACKFLIP 100% AND THEN IT WENT TO

PARTIALLY THE SECOND LIENHOLDER. >> WELL NOT GOING TO TAKE A LOT OF YOUR TIME BECAUSE YOU HAVE HEARD FROM ME REPEATEDLY. THIS MATTER , THE MATTER OF THIS HOUSE AT 4474 LA HACIENDA HAS BEEN GOING ON SINCE APRIL 2020. NEARLY 5 YEARS. AND IT HAS BEEN TO COURT ONCE AND SETTLED IN COURT BETWEEN HE AND HIS CONTRACTOR AT THE TIME A REPRESENTATIVE OF THE CONTRACTOR AT THE TIME. IT HAS BEEN BACK IN TERMS OF A MOTION FOR CONTEMPT AND DEFAULT BECAUSE MR. HIRSCH DID NOT HIRE AND CONTINUE WORKING ON THE HOUSE AS HE INDICATED HE WOULD IN THE SETTLEMENT DOCUMENTS. IT THEN HAS MOVED HERE BECAUSE THE HOUSE FOR ALL INTENTS AND PROVISIONS ALTHOUGH A GENTLEMAN WAS IDENTIFIED AS THE CONTRACTOR HE NEVER DID ANY WORK ON THE HOUSE.

HE NEVER GOT PAID ANYTHING SO IT DID NOT START AND WE HAVE GONE UP AND DOWN WITH WHO IS GOING TO DO WHAT AND PEOPLE CONTACTING US ABOUT WHAT THE STATUS IS AND IT WILL GET STARTED AGAIN AND NONE OF THAT HAS HAPPENED TO COMPLETION. WE WERE GIVEN THE FULL NINE-MONTH PERIOD BY THE SUBDIVISION TO RESTART AND FINISH THE HOUSE. WHERE THERE IS A PROVISION IN THE SUBDIVISION RESTRICTIONS THAT NEW CONSTRUCTION OR CONSTRUCTION OF THE HOUSE HAS TO BE COMPLETED WITHIN NINE MONTHS. OF COURSE WE ARE YEARS PAST THAT. THE PROBLEM WITH THIS IS YOU HAVE TAKEN THE ACTION THAT IS THE MOST ACTION YOU CAN TAKE IN TERMS OF ORDERING DEMOLITION DONE OCTOBER 2 AND NOTHING HAPPENED. THE CITY HAS COME PUT SOME BARRIERS UP AROUND THE POOL. THE HOUSE IS OFF AND OPEN AGAIN WHERE WOODEN PANELS ARE KNOCKED DOWN. I WAS ADVISED THIS LAST WEEKEND THERE WAS ANOTHER ROUND OF VANDALISM AND BROKEN WINDOWS IN THE HOUSE. WHICH MAKES SENSE, THE HOUSE IS SITTING THERE. IT IS UNGUARDED, NOBODY RESPONSIBLE FOR IT OR TAKING RESPONSIBILITY FOR IT. THE HOUSE IS CURRENTLY YEARS BEHIND, THE PROPERTY IS WITH SUBDIVISION FEES. THEY ARE YEARS BEHIND IN THE TIME LIMITS ALLOWED FOR THEM, FOR A SECOND AND THIRD CHANCE, TO DO SOMETHING TO GET THE HOUSE READY TO GO. IT IS HAVING AN ABSOLUTE AND PROFOUND NEGATIVE AFFECT ON THIS COMMUNITY. CERTAINLY, THE PEOPLE THAT LIVE ACROSS THE STREET AND EITHER SIDE FROM IT , BUT THE COMMUNITY AS A WHOLE. I THINK WE DISCUSSED BEFORE IF YOU COME INTO THIS COMMUNITY IN THE MAIN GATE DRIVE DOWN THE MAIN STREET YOU DRIVE RIGHT AT THIS HOUSE. I HAVE NO IDEA WHAT YOU CAN DO BEYOND THE DEMOLITION ORDER THAT YOU HAVE ALREADY ISSUED. I HAVE NO IDEA WHY THE CITY HASN'T TAKEN ANY ACTION ON THE DEMOLITION ORDER. THIS GROUP OF PEOPLE OR GROUP OF LENDERS THAT HAVE DEEDS OF TRUST HAVE NOT CONTACTED US IN ANY WAY. US BEING THE SUBDIVISION TO FIND OUT WHAT THE SUBDIVISION FEES MIGHT BE OR ANY FEES AND EXPENSES. IT MAKES ME THINK THIS IS LESS THAN A CONSCIENTIOUS EFFORT TO GET THIS PROBLEM SOLVED. IT IS ALL DISINGENUOUS.

WE HAVE DONE THIS BEFORE AND IT HAS NOT RESULTED IN ANY RELIEF OR ANY RESOLUTION. I ASK YOU TO LEAVE IT WHERE IT IS WITH AN

[00:15:01]

ORDER OF CONDEMNATION AND DEMOLITION AND PERHAPS, YOU CAN GET ANSWERS FROM THE CITY THAT I CANNOT GET. THAT IS, WHEN IS ANYTHING GOING TO BE DONE TO THIS HOUSE? I APPRECIATE YOUR TIME. ANY QUESTIONS FOR ME I WILL BE GLAD TO RESPOND.

>> ANY QUESTIONS COMMISSIONER? >> LET ME CLARIFY. YOU DO HAVE A COPY OF THIS? THIS IS THE PLAN OF ACTION FROM THE LENDER.

>> I DO NOT HAVE THAT. >> CAN WE GET HIM A COPY?

>> THANK YOU GENTLEMAN. >> ANY OTHERS WISHING TO SPEAK TO THE CASE PLEASE STEP FORWARD AND STATE YOUR NAME FOR THE RECORD.

>> I AM VERY BRIEF. AS HE HAS CAREFULLY ENCAPSULATED WHAT THE HOMEOWNER ASSOCIATION DOES FEEL. I WANT TO LET YOU KNOW THAT THIS IS HAVING A REAL IMPACT ON THE IN ROAD. WE HAVE 29 BUILDINGS, HOMES IN THE DIVISION. PEOPLE ARE LEAVING. WE HAVE AT FOUR HOUSES GO ON THE MARKET AND HAVE EXPRESSED TO ME, THE FACT THAT THIS WILL IMPACT THEIR LIFE AND ALSO, THEY'RE GETTING CLOSE TO $100,000 LESS THAN WHAT THEY THINK THEY SHOULD BE GETTING FOR THEIR PROPERTIES.

SO THAT IS ABOUT 15% OF THE PROPERTY ON THE MARKET NOW. THE OTHER THING I WANT TO LET YOU KNOW. I CANNOT GET LIABILITY OR INSURANCE FOR THE BOARD ANYMORE BECAUSE THE WRITERS , THE ARTICLE COMES UP AROUND BUSINESS SO THINGS HAVE NOT GOTTEN ANY BETTER. THINGS HAVE GOT WORSE. ANY QUESTIONS FOR ME?

>> ANY QUESTIONS? >> THANK YOU FOR YOUR TIME.

>> ANY OTHERS WISHING TO SPEAK TO THE CASE PLEASE STEP FORWARD AND STATE YOUR NAME FOR THE RECORD.

>> ONE MORE COMMENT MR. CHAIRMAN. I DID JUST NOW RECEIVE THIS, I GUESS IT WAS EMAILED OR FAXED IN I GUESS FROM DOUBLE BACKFLIP. MY CONCERN, THIS IS KIND OF DEMONSTRATIVE OF WHAT WE HAVE BEEN DEALING WITH. THERE IS NO ADDRESS, THERE IS NO OFFICE NUMBER. THERE IS A NAME , THE HEAD OF ASSET MANAGEMENT AND A GENERAL PHONE NUMBER. HAVE YOU COMMUNICATED WITH THESE PEOPLE IN LETTER WRITING OR NOTICES YOU HAVE AN ADDRESS FOR THE FOLKS?

>> WE HAVE ADDRESSES, WE HAVE COMMUNICATED BY PHONE RECENTLY

AND THAT'S IT. >> OKAY WELL AGAIN. I JUST SAW THIS NOW AND I THINK FROM WHAT MR. MARSH HAS SAID, WHILE YOU CAN SEE THE DATE, RECEIVED LAST NIGHT AT NEARLY 5:00. AND THE 2025 PLAN IS JUST MORE OF THE SAME. WILL TRY THE BEST WE CAN.

WILL GET A TEXAS LETTER DROP DOCUMENTATION AND SEND NOTICE TO THE CITY OF ABILENE. THEN WE WILL ASSESS THE PROPERTY AND FIGURE OUT WHEN THE ACTION PLAN IS AND THERE ARE NO DATES, THERE IS NO TIMEFRAME. NOTHING EXCEPT WE WILL DO ALL THESE THINGS OTHER PEOPLE TOLD YOU THEY WOULD DO FOR THE LAST FOUR YEARS.

THANK YOU. >> ANY OTHERS WISHING TO SPEAK TO THE CASE PLEASE STEP FORWARD AND STATE YOUR NAME FOR THE RECORD. SEEING KNOWN I WILL CLOSE THE PUBLIC HEARING ON CASE 22- 002791. OPEN UP THE FLOOR FOR DISCUSSION. OR A MOTION. I THINK THE TECHNICAL , THE LEGAL PART OF THIS, WE HAVE A LIEN HOLDER THAT POSSIBLY DID NOT GET NOTIFIED AS IDENTIFIED. THE DEMOLITION ORDER IS IN PLACE. WE CANNOT UNDO THAT. I KIND OF, MY OPINION IS, THE PLAN OF ACTION HERE IS A PLAN OF ACTION, BUT IT

[00:20:04]

DOES REPRESENT A LOT OF TIME. GOING TO EXTEND THE CASE OUT.

THAT IS MY OPINION. SO I DO NOT SEE ANYTHING THAT WOULD KEEP US FROM NOT RENEWING THE DEMOLITION ORDER, FOR LACK OF A BETTER

TERM. >> THAT IS AN OPTION THAT YOU HAVE. IF YOU HAVE FURTHER LEGAL QUESTIONS I WOULD BE HAPPY TO GO INTO EXECUTIVE SESSION IF YOU HAVE LEGAL QUESTIONS ABOUT IT.

>> IS IT CORRECT TO SAY THAT THE PURPOSE OF THE RECOMMENDATION TO REISSUE DEMOLITION ORDER WHICH WE HAVE ALREADY ONCE ISSUED HIS ORDER TO PROVIDE PROPER NOTIFICATION TO THE LIENHOLDER

NOT NOTIFIED ORIGINALLY? >> THAT IS MY UNDERSTANDING AS

WELL. >> I WANT TO MAKE SURE I UNDERSTAND WE HAVE TWO LIENHOLDERS, ONE DOUBLE BLACK

THE MAJORITY LIENHOLDER? >> THAT'S WHAT WE BELIEVE YES.

>> WE BELIEVE BASED ON? >> A PHONE CALL. I AM FAIRLY CERTAIN THE PERSON WHO DID SAID THEY WERE THE MAJORITY LIENHOLDER. AFTER SPEAKING TO THEM.

>> THE MAJORITY LIENHOLDER WAS NOT AWARE THAT THE SISTER

COMPANY WAS NOT GETTING IT DONE. >> DOUBLE BACKFLIP WE WERE SENDING NOTICES FOR SOME REASON THEY WERE NOT GETTING THEM SO WE RECENTLY CONTACTED THEM THEY WERE SENDING TO THE CORRECT PLACE, IT'S THE OTHER LIENHOLDER WHATEVER IT'S CALLED.

WE DO NOT SEND THE NOTICE CONCERNING THE LAST OCTOBER HEARING AND THE DECISION FROM OCTOBER SO THAT'S WHY WE'RE BACK TO POTENTIALLY RENEWING THE DEMOLITION ORDER.

>> THANK YOU. >> I HAVE SEVERAL CONCERNS. WITH THE UNCERTAINTY OF THIS PLAN OF ACTION , PLUS THE SAFETY OF THE SITE ITSELF. NOT, I UNDERSTAND THAT THE BUILDER , SOMEBODY HAS TO BE HELD ACCOUNTABLE. FOR THE LACK OF ACTION THAT IS NOT HAPPENING AT THIS SITE. SO IT IS JUST CONCERNING, THE VAGUENESS OF THIS PLAN OF ACTION WITHOUT ANYTHING TO SAY THIS IS FOR CERTAIN WHAT WE'RE GOING TO DO TO MOVE FORWARD. IT DOES NOT

GIVE ME A GOOD FEELING ABOUT IT. >> ANY OTHER DISCUSSION? CURIOUS ABOUT THIS TIMELINE ON THIS. WE ORDERED THE DEMO ON OCTOBER 2.

AT SOME POINT, WAS IT AFTER THAT THE 4474 OR EXECUTED THE LIEN

WITH DOUBLE BACKFLIP? >> SO THAT WAS , THAT WAS DONE QUITE A BIT BEFORE , THAT'S NOT A NEW LIEN .

>> THAT WAS NOT MADE KNOWN TO YOU? TO THE CITY WHEN THE LIEN

WAS CREATED? >> WE HAD TO DISCOVER THAT ON OUR OWN. THAT'S PART OF THE PROCESS TO FIND ALL THE

LIENHOLDERS. >> OKAY. WAS THE CITY AWARE THAT

THIS HAD BEEN CREATED? >> WE WERE AWARE OF THE DOUBLE BACKFLIP, BUT THE SECOND LIENHOLDER WE DID NOT FIND UNTIL

LATER. >> AT THE TIME OF THIS ORDER WERE WE AWARE OF DOUBLE BACK FLIP?

>> YES OR. IT WAS THE SECOND WE WERE NOT AWARE OF.

>> I THING MY POSITION, I AM UNMOVED BY THE PLAN OF ACTION BUT I DO RECOGNIZE THE NEED TO ISSUE OR REISSUE DEMOLITION ORDER. I MEAN OUR JOB IS TO REPRESENT THE BEST INTEREST OF THE CITY IN THIS MATTER. I EMPATHIZE WITH THE PLIGHT , BUT I THINK OUR DUTY IS TO THE CITY IN THIS CASE AND I THINK THE BEST COURSE OF ACTION WOULD BE TO SUPPORT THE RECOMMENDATION. I WILL LEAVE IT OPEN FOR DISCUSSION IF ANYBODY WANTS TO RESPOND WHAT I'M WILLING TO MAKE THE MOTION.

>> PLEASE DO. >> OKAY THAT WE TAKE STAFF

RECOMMENDATION. >> MOTION THAT THE PROPERTY IS

[00:25:05]

DECLARED PUBLIC NUISANCE AND IT IS A HAZARD TO THE PUBLIC HEALTH SAFETY AND WELFARE AND REPAIR OF THEIR STRUCTURE.

>> SECOND THE MOTION. >> SECOND, ROLL CALL PLEASE.

>> FURTHER MOVED TO ORDER THE OWNER ORDER TO DEMOLISH OR FILLED ORDER TO DISTRICT COURT WITHIN 30 DAYS OR THE CITY MAY

DEMOLISH. >> MOTION, THE ORDER IS HONORED -- ORDER TO DEMOLISH OR APPEAL WITHIN 30 DAYS OR THE CITY MAY DEMOLISH. SECOND. ROLL CALL PLEASE.

>> YOU WANT TO DO A FULL RENOVATION AND LEASE OUT THE

BUILDING. >> THANK YOU, MR. MARSH. AT THIS TIME I WILL OPEN THE PUBLIC HEARING ON KISS 24- 000052.

ANYONE WISHING TO SPEAK TO THE CASE PLEASE STEP FORWARD AND

STATE YOUR NAME FOR THE RECORD. >> PLEASE RAISE YOUR RIGHT HAND DO YOU SWEAR AND AFFIRM THE PRESENTATION YOU SHOWED GAVE THE TRUTH THE WHOLE TRUTH AND NOTHING BUT THE TRUTH?

>> I DO. >> THANK YOU. I HAVE BEEN A REAL ESTATE BROKER AND DEVELOPER SINCE 1984. IF I COULD I WILL GIVE YOU A LITTLE HISTORY ON THE PROPERTY. IN 2009, I COMMUNICATED WITH ABILENE ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT DEPARTMENT AND WE FOUND THE LOCKHEED FACILITY COULD BE FOR SALE SO WE WOUND UP SELLING IT TO AN OWNER IN CALIFORNIA. THE CURRENT OWNER. IT TOOK US ABOUT THREE MONTHS WORKING WITH THE PERMITTING DEPARTMENT. THE BUILDING WAS IN NEAR CONDITION THE WAY IT IS NOW. ALL THE COPPER HAD BEEN TAKEN OUT AND IT WAS IN PRETTY BAD SHAPE. I THINK WITHIN SIX MONTHS WE LEAST THE ENTIRE NORTH FACILITY WHICH WAS THE 300 WALL STREET THERE ARE TWO BUILDINGS. 300 WALL STREET AND ON FIRST STREET YOU HAVE

5520 . >> CAN YOU TAKE THE MICROPHONE UP SO WE CAN HEAR YOU BETTER PLEASE?

>> SURE. >> I THINK THE SHORT STORY IS THAT WE TURNED THE BUILDING INTO A GOOD BUILDING FOR 10 YEARS.

[00:40:06]

AND, I AM CALLING THIS 300 WALL STREET 2.0. AND THE OWNER, NOT ONLY WAS HE ABSENTEE, BUT I THINK HE HAD OTHER THINGS GOING ON IN CALIFORNIA TO LET THIS SLIDE THE WAY THAT IT DID AND AT THIS POINT WE HAVE IT BOARDED UP, WE DID SOME LANDSCAPING

WORK. DID YOU GET PICTURES? >> I DID NOT GET PICTURES. I WAS

OUT YESTERDAY. >> ALL RIGHT IF YOU DROVE BY THE PROPERTY TODAY, FIRST STREET AND WALL STREET HAS BEEN LANDSCAPED.

IT DOES NOT LOOK LIKE A SHAGGY DOG ANYMORE, IT LOOKS GOOD AND THE INTENT IS TO GET THE ELECTRICIAN TODAY TO GET US AN ORDER OR A PERMIT TO GET ELECTRICITY IN THERE SO WE CAN GET WI-FI AND CAMERAS AND THEN FROM THERE WE WILL BE WORKING WITH THE PERMITTING DEPARTMENT TO GO FORWARD TO OPEN UP FOR HIGH BANDWIDTH FOR USERS. IT IS A GREAT BUILDING ON THE NORTH SIDE. THE FIRST STREET BUILDING , I DON'T THINK IT WAS A LEASE CONTINUOUS, BUT WE MADE A FEW LEASES IN THERE BUT IT IS A GOOD PROPERTY AND WE WILL GET IT CLEANED UP.

>> WHAT KIND OF TIMEFRAME ARE YOU THINKING?

>> AT LEAST SIX MONTHS AND IF WE FIND A TENANT, SHORTER THAN THAT. THE OWNER IS WELL-HEELED HE PAID CASH FOR THE PROPERTY.

HE HAS CASH IN THE BANK TO MAKE ALL THE IMPROVEMENTS. THE ELECTRICAL IS GOING TO BE, IF WE FASHIONED AT THE WAY IT WAS WHEN BRONWYN WAS THERE, IT WOULD BE OVER $1.5 MILLION. JUST FOR ELECTRICAL. HVAC HALF OF THAT. PLUMBING , FIRE SPRINKLER, I MEAN IT'S GOING TO COST ABOUT $3 MILLION AND REPLICATE WHAT WAS THERE. IF WE IMPROVE WHAT WE GET A WAREHOUSE USER THAT DOES NOT NEED SPECIALIZED IMPROVEMENTS AND THE WHOLE THING AIR-CONDITIONED IT WOULD BE LESS THAN THAT. I'VE BEEN DOING THIS , I HAVE BEEN DOING THIS FOR FOUR DECADES. I AM A TROUBLESHOOTER I GO AND I TAKE PROPERTIES, WORK WITH THE ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT CORPORATIONS ALL OVER TEXAS

THAT'S WHAT I DO. >> ARE YOU AWARE THE CITY HAS BEEN HAVING TO MAINTAIN THE PROPERTY FOR FIVE YEARS?

>> YEAH. I LIVE IN LAKE TEXOMA. IN POTTS BOROUGH, TEXAS. MY FOCUS HAS BEEN NORTH TEXAS. BUT I DID NOT KNOW THIS UNTIL MY WIFE SAID HEAR SOMETHING ABOUT THE PROPERTY YOU WORKED ON. I READ IT, CONTACTED THE OWNER AND HE SAID YOU ARE HIRED. GO TAKE CARE OF IT. SO THIS IS WALL STREET TWO POINT KNOW FOR ME.

>> YOUR PLAN IS TO HAVE A PLAN OF ACTION IN PLACE FOR QUICK?

>> YES I ONLY FOUND OUT 10 DAYS AGO. AND I CAME OUT HERE WE HEARD THE FORMER FACILITY DIRECTOR THAT WORKED FOR BROAD WIND AND HE KNOWS THE BUILDING INSIDE AND OUT. WE ALREADY ORDERED UP LANDSCAPING WITH FIXED OFFENSES AND WE HAVE THE ALPHA SECURITY. IS WHAT WE WILL USE TO MAINTAIN ANY IMPROVEMENTS THAT WE MAKE WE WILL MAKE SURE THEY STAY THERE.

>> OKAY. >> WE HAVE TO GIVE MORE TIME TO PUT SOME BIDS TOGETHER BUT THE FIRST ORDER OF BUSINESS IS GETTING ELECTRICAL IN THE BUILDING THAT'S GOING TO REQUIRE AT LEAST FOUR OR FIVE TEMPORARY POLES. FOR EACH CORNER OF THE BUILDING AND ONE IN THE MIDDLE SO THE TRADES THAT COME OUT WON'T NEED 500 FOOT EXTENSION CORDS, THE BUILDING IS 400 FEET WIDE AND 1000 FEET DEEP. ONE OF THE BUILDINGS. SO IT'S GOING TO BE A BIG UNDERTAKING.

>> ANY QUESTIONS FROM THE BOARD? >> ABOUT COMMUNICATIONS, THERE'S BEEN A COMMUNICATIONS DESERT FOR LIKE A DECADE WITH NONE WHATSOEVER WITH THE CALIFORNIA OWNER. ARE YOU THE

PERSON STANDING IN THE VOID? >> I WILL BE THE POINT MAN.

>> YOU GUYS HAVE EACH OTHER'S NUMBERS?

>> ROBERT AND I HAVE BEEN COMMUNICATING.

>> OVER A DECADE WITH ZERO COMMUNICATION. NO RESPONSE WHATSOEVER AS IF THE CITY DID NOT EXIST.

[00:45:01]

>> THE OWNER RESIDES IN LONG BEACH, CALIFORNIA AND HE HAS PROPERTIES ALL OVER THE UNITED STATES AND I DON'T KNOW IF IT WAS HIS HEALTH, I DON'T KNOW WHAT HAPPENS, BUT WE COMMUNICATED AND HE SAID DO IT. I WILL BE THE POINT MAN. YES. I WORK VERY CLOSELY WITH THE D.C. OA IN 2009, 2010, AND THE WHOLE THING HAS CHANGED NOW I DON'T KNOW ANYBODY OVER THERE. BUT I HAVE LEARNED TO COMMUNICATE . WITH BROCK AND BROCK AND I ALREADY HAVE SOME IDEAS. ON THE DISPOSITION OF THE BUILDING.

>> THANK YOU, ANY OTHER QUESTIONS? THANK YOU, SIR. ANY OTHERS WISHING TO SPEAK TO THE CASE PLEASE STEP FORWARD AND STATE YOUR NAME FOR THE RECORD. I WILL CLOSE THE PUBLIC IN CASE 24-000052. OPEN THE FLOOR FOR DISCUSSION OR MOTION. I THINK THE CIVIL PENALTIES IDENTIFIED FOR THE PAST NONCOMPLIANCE

ISSUES CORRECT? >> I MEAN IT IS RECURRING NONCOMPLIANCE ISSUES, BUT NOW WE HAVE SOMEBODY NEW IN THE

PROCESS. >> THAT IS GOING FORWARD.

>> THAT'S FROM THE PERIOD OF THE LAST CIVIL PENALTIES. UNTIL PRESENT. STILL THE SAME OWNER INVOLVED, TO YOUR POINT. I STILL THINK STAFF RECOMMENDATION IS REASONABLE FOR A PROJECT OF THIS SCALE. IT WOULD NOT REPRESENT A TENABLE BARRIER MOVING FORWARD

WITH A PROJECT OF THIS SCOPE. >> IS THAT A MOTION?

>> GIVING IT A LITTLE PAUSE FOR ANYBODY WHO WANTS TO SPEAK. IF NOT YES I WILL MAKE A MOTION TO ACCEPT STAFF RECOMMENDATION.

>> ANY OTHER COMMENTS? MOTION BY , THE OWNER ORDERED TO PAY CIVIL PENALTIES FOR NONCOMPLIANCE OF THE BOARD ORDER APRIL 3, 2024 IN THE AMOUNT OF $500 PER DAY , FOR THE PERIOD OF NONCOMPLIANCE BEING OCTOBER 2, BEING OCTOBER 2, 2024 THROUGH MARCH 4, 2025 WHICH IS A TOTAL OF 154 DAYS.

ANYONE WISHING TO SPEAK TO THE CASE PLEASE STEP FORWARD AND STATE YOUR NAME FOR THE RECORD. RAISE YOUR RIGHT HAND DO YOU SWEAR AND AFFIRM TESTIMONY THAT YOU GIVE WILL BE THE TRUTH THE WHOLE TRUTH AND NOTHING BUT THE TRUTH?

>> YES OR. >> THINK IT.

>> RIGHT BEFORE I WAS SUPPOSED TO COME APPEAR THE PLUMBER SHOWED UP AND SAID IT'S MY LAST PIECE.

>> STATE YOUR NAME FOR THE RECORD PLEASE.

[01:00:02]

>> BROOKS ARMSTRONG. >> THINK IT.

>> ANYWAY, MY LAST PIECE TO GET THIS PLAN OF ACTION DONE SO I WILL GET IT DONE AND MR. ROSENBAUM THE ENGINEER WENT THROUGH WHICH IS A GOOD THING , EXPLAINING SOME OF THE CONSTRUCTION OF THE BUILDING AND SOME OF THE WALLS WHERE THE FIRE WAS , SOME OF THEM, MOST WERE NOT STRUCTURAL SO I WILL TAKE THOSE OUT AND SO AND WE HAVE A LOT OF CLEANING WE HAVE PAPERWORK AND RECORDS AND I HAVE THAT , THAT'S WHERE THAT IS GOING THAT WILL BE LET OUT OF THERE AND LIKE I SAID, I THINK , CLEANOUT ALL OF THAT AND OPEN THE SECOND STORY UP GET IT SANDBLASTED AND GET THE CHAR OUT OF THERE. PUT A GOOD PAYING JOB, HAVE ELECTRICIANS COMING. LIGHT IT UP WITH LED LIGHTS AND THE SECOND FLOOR ROOMS ARE STILL IN GOOD TACT AND I WILL GO AHEAD IT IS CHERRY WOOD UNDERNEATH OR IT LOOKS LIKE IT'S CHERRY WOOD UNDERNEATH THE CARPET I WILL TAKE THE CARPET UP AND FINISH THE FLOORS YOU KNOW, THE CONSTRUCTION OF THE BUILDING IS CONCRETE. SO IT IS LIKE A 1920 PARKING GARAGE. CONCRETE WITH THE WOOD SITTING ON THE FLOOR. SO THERE'S A LOT, IT'S JUST A STURDY OLD BUILDING AND ORIGINALLY I THOUGHT I WAS GOING TO TAKE THE CAFETERIA OFF, BUT I CAN MOVE THE CONCRETE BEAMS SO THAT'S GOING TO BE THERE FOREVER. JUST NEED TO GET IT PAINTED. I HAVE A PRICE ON THE FENCING. WAITING FOR A COUPLE MORE BIDS. PUT A FENCE AROUND IT AND WOULD LIKE TO KEEP IT UNDER SEVEN FEET. I WILL PUT A SIX FOOT CHAIN-LINK FENCE AROUND IT.

THAT WAY THE GUYS , THERE'S STILL A LOT OF BUMPS AROUND THERE. CAN'T LEAVE IT WITH STUFF OUT AN OPEN. JUST PART OF THE NEIGHBORHOOD RIGHT NOW. YEAH. RIGHT NOW YOU KNOW I HAVE MY TOTAL SO FAR AND IT'S GOING TO BE EXPENSIVE BUT IT IS A GOOD BUILDING. I'M RIGHT AT 149,000. SO YEAH. WE WILL GET IT DONE AND I THINK PROBABLY 120 DAYS SHOULD OF THE ROOF ON THE CAFETERIA, THE SECOND STORY DOESN'T WEEK. IT NEVER LEAKED BECAUSE IT HAS A CONCRETE BASE UNDERNEATH. WITH GOOD TAR AND SO WONDERED WHAT THE DEAL WAS. I WILL HAVE TO HAVE THEM OUT TO LOOK AT SOME OF THE OTHER WALLS BEFORE I TAKE THEM OUT. I CAN OPEN ALL OF THAT UP WITH STORAGE AND OF COURSE LATER ON YOU KNOW WE'LL PROBABLY CONVERT IT TO LIVING QUARTERS OR RENTAL UNITS MAY BE.

RIGHT NOW JUST WANT TO GET IT FIXED UP AND LOOKING NICE. AND

CLEAN. >> WHAT'S YOUR TIMEFRAME?

>> I WILL HAVE IT DONE BY JUNE OR JULY . YOU KNOW I WILL SAY LIKE 120 DAYS , BUT YEAH. THE THING ABOUT IT NOW YOU GO IN AND ALL THE WINDOWS STILL IT IS DARK LIKE WORKING IN A CAVE SO I HAVE TEMPORARY LIGHTS AND I WILL PUT THOSE IN THE GENERATOR AND IT WILL PUT THE GENERATOR SO THE GUYS CAN SEE WHAT THEY ARE DOING. KIND OF HAZARDOUS RIGHT NOW TO WORK IN THERE. ESPECIALLY THE SECOND FLOOR, BUT IT'S ONE OF THOSE DEALS AT A BIG TRAILER OUT AND ANYWAY I WILL MOVE IT OVER AND DUMP ALL THAT IN AND

HAUL IT TO THE DUMP. >> SO YOU ANTICIPATE HAVING IT OUT OF CONDEMNATION IN 120 DAYS?

>> YES OR WE SHOULD BE ABLE TO GET THAT DONE. THE HARD PART IS GOING TO BE THE ELECTRICAL. ELECTRICAL SUPPLY , THEY WENT THROUGH AND TORE STUFF UP AND IT MAKES YOU SICK. THERE WAS ENOUGH COPPER IF THEY WOULD'VE CALLED AND SAID WE'RE GOING TO TEAR YOUR HOUSE UP IN MICHIGAN WAS $2000 , YOU KNOW YEAH.

[01:05:02]

>> ANY QUESTIONS FOR MR. ARMSTRONG? THANK YOU, SIR.

>> THANK YOU. >> ANY OTHERS WISHING TO SPEAK TO THE CASE PLEASE STEP FORWARD AND STATE YOUR NAME FOR THE RECORD. SINGH NOTABLE CLOSE THE PUBLIC HEARING ON CASE 24- 000130. OPEN THE FLOOR FOR DISCUSSION ON THE MOTION.

>> I AM UNCLEAR. WE HAD A 30-60 ORDER AND THAT'S THE SOURCE OF THE CIVIL PENALTIES FOR NONCOMPLIANCE?

>> CORRECT FROM MAY 1 OF 2024. >> WE ARE PROPOSING TO ASSESS PENALTIES HERE, BUT BEYOND THAT WHAT IS SUPPOSED TO HAPPEN?

>> BASICALLY RETURN TO KEEP THE OWNERS ON TOP OF THE PROJECT, THAT'S THE PURPOSE OF THE CIVIL PENALTIES.

>> ANOTHER 30-60 ORDER? >> I WOULD SAY THAT COULD BE ON

THE TABLE. >> SO HE IS ALREADY OUT OF COMPLIANCE WITH THE FIRST CIVIL PENALTY ORDER? HE CAN STILL WORK ON THE PROPERTY AND BRING IT OUT OF CONDEMNATION, BUT YOU KNOW IF YOU GIVE THEM ANOTHER 30-60 ORDER IT WOULD GIVE HIM MORE TIME TO BE IN COMPLIANCE HE COULD STILL COME OUT OF COMPLIANCE, BUT IT WOULD GIVE HIM TIME TO BE IN COMPLIANCE AND UNTIL HE BECAME OUT OF COMPLIANCE AGAIN IT WOULD KIND OF TAKE CIVIL PENALTIES OFF THE TABLE, BUT THAT'S OKAY.

WHATEVER YOU DECIDE . YOU ARE THE BOARD SO THOSE ARE BOTH

THINGS THAT ARE OPTIONS FOR YOU. >> OKAY FROM WHAT MR. ARMSTRONG TOLD US, HE IS PROCEEDING AS IF HE HAD A 30-60 BUT HE IS SUPPOSED TO PRESENT THAT TO THE CITY FOR APPROVAL WHEN HE GETS THE PLAN OF ACTION. I DON'T HEAR THAT'S BEING DONE SO TO BE SURE THERE'S NOT ANY MISUNDERSTANDING FOR HIM TO GET DOWN THE ROAD AND THEN FIND OUT STILL WASN'T ACCEPTED, IT APPEARS TO ME WE NEED TO ISSUE A NEW 3060.

>> THAT'S REALLY KIND OF MORE TO THE OPERATION OF BUILDING INSPECTION AND HOW THE DEPARTMENT WORKS AS FAR AS APPLYING FOR PERMITS. HE IS NOT BEING PREVENTED FROM WORKING ON THE PROJECT. I MEAN EITHER WAY. I DON'T KNOW, DO YOU HAVE ANY THOUGHTS ON THAT FROM THE BUILDING? INSPECTIONS

PERSPECTIVE? >> MR. ARMSTRONG HAS BEEN IN CONTACT WITH US. HE'S MOVING A LITTLE SLOW, BUT HE HAS BEEN WORKING WITH US, HE HAS BEEN GETTING THE INFORMATION WE NEED ESPECIALLY THE ENGINEERING INFORMATION. FOR US AND OBVIOUSLY HE HAS THE ELECTRICAL STRUCTURE AND THEN AS HE TALKED TODAY, I THINK YOU MAY HAVE TOLD ROB THAT HE HAS A PLUMBING CONTRACTOR COMING OVER TO ASSESS BECAUSE IN ORDER TO HAVE A STORAGE FACILITY, WE DO HAVE TO HAVE PROPER RESTROOMS SO WE DON'T LOOK AT WHICH ONE IS THE MOST VIABLE TO BE USED. BUT, YEAH. HE CAN, IT IS IN THE HANDS OF THE BOARD WHETHER TO ASSESS THIS OR , BASED ON THE ACTIVITY HE HAS AND WHAT HE HAS BEEN TELLING US, 30-60 , WE WOULD DEFINITELY ACCEPT THAT, AS WELL.

>> I THINK THE CONCERN IS THAT IF WE ISSUE A NEW 30-60 WE REMOVE WHILE LITTLE LEVERAGE WE HAVE TO CONTINUE TO ENCOURAGE AND THE PROGRESS IS BEING MADE, I SEE THAT AND I THINK THAT'S A POSITIVE THING. I DON'T WANT TO STIFLE THAT AND IN THE SPIRIT OF OTHER ACTIONS TAKEN TODAY THIS PENALTY DOESN'T REPRESENT A OBSTACLE TO PROGRESS ON THE PROJECT OF THIS SCOPE. SO I THINK FOR THAT REASON I WOULD BE , I WOULD SUPPORT TAKING STAFF RECOMMENDATION AND LEAVING THE PROJECT IN NONCOMPLIANCE JUST TO MAINTAIN THAT OPTION FOR THE CITY.

[01:10:08]

>> IS THAT EMOTION? >> IT CAN BE IF WE ARE READY FOR

THAT. >> ANY OTHER DISCUSSION?

>> WILL MAKE MOTION WE TAKE STAFF RECOMMENDATION.

>> MOTION, THE OWNER ORDERED TO PAY CIVIL PENALTIES FOR NONCOMPLIANCE OF THE BOARD ORDER ON MAY 1, 2024 IN THE AMOUNT OF $50 PER DAY FOR THE PERIOD OF NONCOMPLIANCE BEGINNING JANUARY 8, 2025 THROUGH MARCH 4, 2025. WHICH IS A TOTAL OF 56 DAYS.

TOTAL CIVIL PENALTIES DUE TO BE ASSESSED AS $2800.

>> SECOND. >> SECOND, ROLL CALL PLEASE.

>> NEXT CASE PLEASE. >> NEXT IS ON THE AGENDA IS CASE
