UM, STAFF, WHICH, UH, SPEAKER IS SIGNED UP TO SPEAK FIRST.
WE DO HAVE TWO COMMENTS FROM THE PUBLIC.
WE HAVE WHO IS A POTENTIAL BUYER, AND THEN WE HAVE ANTHONY FROM THE NEIGHBORHOOD.
UM, I GUESS WE CAN START WITH THE, THE NEIGHBORHOOD ASSOCIATION.
MR. GRE, CAN YOU PLEASE, UH, STATE YOUR, YOUR COMMENTS? UM, YEAH, SINCE I'M THE HOMEOWNER ASSOCIATION THERE, I MEAN, I WOULD LIKE TO SEE, SEE IF WE COULD AS A WHOLE ASSOCIATE PRISON ALSO PUT A BIN IN FOR THE HOUSE.
I MEAN, I'D LIKE TO RENOVATE IT AND KEEP IT IN THE ESTABLISHED NEIGHBORHOOD.
I MEAN, 'CAUSE THE POTENTIAL BUYER IS THE SAME, GONNA DO THE SAME THING.
IS THERE A WAY THAT WE AS A, AS A HOMEOWNER ASSOCIATING PRISON, CAN I SUBMIT PAPERWORK ALSO AND A BID? UH, SO THE BOARD'S JOB IS NOT TO SELL THE PROPERTY OR OR TO DETERMINE WHO BUYS IT OR AT WHAT PRICE ANYONE BUYS IT.
WE'RE HERE TO DECIDE IF IT'S A DANGEROUS STRUCTURE AND IF SO, IF, IF SOMEONE IS HERE WITH THE ABILITY AND THE OWNERSHIP TO, TO REPAIR THE PROPERTY.
SO I THINK YOU'D NEED TO SPEAK WITH, UH, THE, THE OWNER OR SOMEBODY ELSE ABOUT THAT.
YEAH, I MEAN, I WOULD LOVE TO SPEAK DONOR IF I CAN.
IF I COULD REQUEST SOME TIME TO DO THAT BECAUSE I LIVE ONLY A BLOCK AWAY FROM THIS HOUSE.
I MEAN THAT, THAT'S GONNA HAVE TO HAPPEN I THINK OUTSIDE OF THE PURVIEW OF THIS BOARD.
UM, AND WE DON'T HAVE AN OWNER HERE TO SPEAK.
I MEAN THIS, THIS STRUCTURE WAS VACANT.
UH, AS A HOMEOWNER'S ASSOCIATION PRESIDENT, I CAN DRIVE AROUND AND WE NEED TO FOLLOW SOME CERTAIN GUIDELINES INSTEAD OF GIVING PREDATORY PEOPLE COMING IN, BUYING THESE HOMES UP AND GIVING THE OPPORTUNITY TO THE PRESIDENTS TO ACTUALLY FIND OTHER PEOPLE THAT I DON'T THINK IT'S FUNNY AT ALL, BUT, 'CAUSE I CAN GO BUY SEVERAL HOUSES TOO AND REMODEL THEM.
I OWN A BUSINESS HERE IN DISTRICT FIVE AND I'VE BEEN IN DISTRICT FIVE FOR 14 YEARS.
I EMPLOY PEOPLE FROM THIS DISTRICT, SO I SHOULD BE ABLE NOT TO BE LAUGHED AT, BUT ALSO BE CONSIDERED AS A, AS A PERSON THAT CAN GET INVOLVED AND BUY PROPERTIES HERE IN THIS DISTRICT.
AND I DON'T, I DUNNO THAT AND ANYBODY IS, IS LAUGHING AT YOU, SIR.
I I JUST, THIS IS NOT THE PROPER VENUE FOR PURCHASING PROPERTY.
THIS IS THE VENUE TO DECIDE IF PROPERTY IS A DANGEROUS STRUCTURE AND IF SO, HOW TO, HOW TO DEAL WITH IT.
UM, I THINK THAT TIME TO BUY THE PROPERTY WOULD BE PRIOR TO THIS.
AND IF YOU WANNA SPEAK WITH THE CODE OFFICER AND, AND HAVE THEM BRING PROPERTIES TO THE HO'S ATTENTION OR TO THE NEIGHBORHOOD ASSOCIATION'S ATTENTION THAT ARE, THAT ARE DERELICT OR THAT HAVE ISSUES, I THINK THAT WOULD BE FINE.
BUT THIS IS NOT THE VENUE TO, TO DETERMINE THAT.
WE HAD ANOTHER, UH, MEMBER OF THE PUBLIC SIGNED UP TO SPEAK.
EY, YOU CAN PLEASE STATE YOUR NAME AND YOUR ADDRESS FOR THE RECORD.
YES, THIS IS VINCENT EY, MY OFFICE ADDRESS, 6 3 2 2 SOVEREIGN DRIVE, SUITE 1 68.
UH, WE'RE CURRENTLY UNDER CONTRACT WITH THE SELLERS, UM, SINCE THE 12TH, MAY 12TH, UH, WORKING THROUGH A COUPLE TITLE ISSUES, WE JUST NEED TO DO SOME AFFIDAVITS OF AIRSHIPS.
SO AS THE DECEASED PARTY, UH, I BELIEVE WE SHOULD GET
[01:05:01]
THAT SORTED OUT IN THE NEXT COUPLE WEEKS.UM, WE'RE PLANNING ON REMODELING THE HOUSE REMODEL.
I BUDGETED ABOUT 60, 65,000 TO BRING EVERYTHING BACK TO BRAND NEW, REMEDIATE THE MOLD AND ANY KIND OF WATER DAMAGE AND BRING EVERYTHING BACK UP TO, UH, 2021 STANDARDS.
AND DID YOU PROVIDE ANY DOCUMENTATION TODAY, UM, REGARDING THE REPAIRS, THE OWNERSHIP, THE CONTRACT, ANYTHING? YES.
I HAD EMAILED, UH, EVERYTHING TO CRYSTAL YESTERDAY ABOUT 4:00 PM OKAY.
JUDY, DO WE HAVE DOCUMENTS TO REVIEW MR. CHAIR? THIS IS LEGAL.
UH, I DIDN'T RECEIVE ANY CONTRACT FOR SALE OF PROPERTY.
UM, THERE WAS A, A SCOPE OF WORK AND PROOF OF FINANCIAL MEANS OF SOMEBODY WHO'S POTENTIALLY BUYING THAT PROPERTY.
HOWEVER, THE PROBLEM IS IS THAT, UM, THERE'S NO, UM, EXECUTED CONTRACT.
IT'S SURE SOMEBODY GIVING A, A SCOPE OF WORK OF WHAT THEY WOULD DO TO THE PROPERTY IF THEY OWN THE PROPERTY.
SINCE OWNERSHIP HAS NOT CHANGED HANDS, THE, UM, COUNSEL DIDN'T PASS THOSE PAPERS OUT.
NO, NO ONE HAD REQUESTED THE CONTRACT FROM ME.
I JUST RIGHT NOW EMAILED IT TO CRYSTAL IF IT HELPS.
UM, BUT WE DO HAVE AN ACTIVE CONTRACT WITH ESCROW OPEN WITH THE TITLE COMPANY CURRENTLY WORKING ON THE TITLE.
UM, IF, IF YOU WANT ME TO, TO, AND MR. CHAIR, UM, IF THE BOARD WANTS ME TO LOOK AT THAT DOCUMENT, IF IT'S AN EXECUTED CONTRACT, I'LL BE MORE THAN HAPPY TO LOOK AT IT.
LET'S, LET'S GO AHEAD AND DO THAT.
YEAH, I JUST SENT IT TO CRYSTAL RIGHT NOW.
SO THAT'S THE RECEDED CONTRACT THAT'S OPEN WITH, UH, THE TITLE COMPANY.
IF YOU WOULD JUST GIVE US A MOMENT, WE'RE GONNA HAVE THE LEGAL DEPARTMENT REVIEW IT AND THEN, UM, THEY'LL DETERMINE IF IT'S APPROPRIATE TO SEND OUT TO THE BOARD.
MR. WE HAVE NOT RECEIVED EMAIL YET.
CAN YOU PLEASE ENSURE THAT WAS SENT? YES, I DID CHECK THAT IT WAS SENT AT 10 11 2 MINUTES AGO.
MR. CAN I ASK A QUESTION? IS A CONTRACT SIGNED BY BOTH PARTIES AND HAS IT BE, UH, EXECUTED YET? YEAH.
YES, IT IS SIGNED BY BOTH PARTIES EXECUTED AND ALSO RECEDED BY THE TITLE COMPANY AS PER THE LAST PAGE THEY RECEIVED THE EARNEST MONEY.
BUT THE CONTRACT HAS, UH, WHEN YOU GONNA CLOSE? AS SOON AS THE TITLE ISSUES ARE CLEARED UP, I ASSUMED IT WILL BE, UM, CLEARED UP IN THE NEXT COUPLE WEEKS.
IT'S JUST A MATTER OF DRAWING UP AFFIDAVITS OF AIRSHIP AND HAVING THEM SIGNED BY THE WITNESSES WHERE, HOW MANY BROTHERS AND OKAY.
THE AIRSHIPS, YOU'RE LOOKING THROUGH IT.
UH, MR. CHAIRMAN? YES, MR. WE STILL HAVE TO GO AHEAD AND MAKE THE DECISION IF TO BE DEMOLISHED OR NOT.
WE DON'T KNOW WHEN IT'S GONNA CLOSE, WHEN THE CONTRACT'S GONNA CLOSE AND, UH, I THING YEAH, I WAS, YOU KNOW, LEGAL'S CONSENT IS GO AHEAD AND DO THE MOTION AND THEN IT MAY CLOSE IN TWO WEEKS, LIKE YOU SAYS, ALL VOID THEN.
AND, UH, SO FOR THIS CASE THIS TIME, UH, BUT IT CAN COME UP AGAIN, BUT I MEAN, THE THING IS IT SAYS GO CLOSE IN TWO WEEKS.
LET'S MAKE THE MOTION THEN CAN GO AHEAD AND, UH, UH, SEND
[01:10:01]
A, WE CAN, UH, THERE, THERE SCOPE OF WORK OVERT.SO I WOULD SAY THAT WE'LL MAKE A, MAKE A MOTION AND SEE WHAT WE COME UP WITH.
THAT'S MY, I THINK, AND, AND MR. BURNS CAN CORRECT ME IF I'M WRONG, BUT IF WE MAKE A MOTION IN ORDER TO DEMOLISH AND IT LATER CHANGES HANDS, I DON'T THINK THAT STOPS THE ORDER TO DEMOLISH THE PROPERTY.
THAT'S EXACTLY WHAT I WAS SAYING.
UH, I DO WANNA MAKE SURE THE BOARD UNDERSTANDS YOU'RE CORRECT IN WHAT YOU'RE SAYING.
UM, BUT IN REGARDS TO THE, THE CONTRACT AND THE, THE LEGAL DETERMINATION AS TO WHETHER THE AFFIDAVIT OF AIRSHIP OR THOSE ISSUES ARE NEEDED, AGAIN, THAT'S A LEGAL, UH, THAT'S A, A LEGAL TERM AND LEGAL, UH, DETERMINATION.
UM, I WILL TELL YOU IF THE CONTRACT IS SIGNED BY BOTH PARTIES, UM, UH, I WOULD CONSIDER IT AN EXECUTED CONTRACT AND I WOULD, I WOULD HAVE NO PROBLEM LETTING THIS, THIS BOARD LOOK AT IT.
MR. CHAIR, IF YOU'LL GIMME JUST ONE SECOND.
AND MR. ZUNI, I THINK WE SHOULD, YOU KNOW, GIVE MR. BURNS A CHANCE TO REVIEW THE CONTRACT AND THEN WE SHOULD TAKE INTO ACCOUNT THE INFORMATION.
AND, AND TO YOUR POINT, IT DOESN'T NECESSARILY MEAN WE'RE GONNA DO ONE THING OR ANOTHER, BUT I THINK WE SHOULD HAVE THE INFORMATION AND THEN THE BOARD CAN DISCUSS AND, AND DECIDE WHAT TO DO.
WELL, MR. BURNS IS REVIEWING THAT CONTRACT.
DOES THE BOARD HAVE ANY QUESTIONS FOR, UH, UH, FOR THIS WITNESS? WELL, I HAVE A QUESTION.
HOW WERE THE, HOW WERE THE OWNERS DETERMINED IF THEY DIDN'T SHOW UP AND, UH, I THINK THE, UM, THE CODE OFFICER SAID, YOU KNOW, WERE NO HEIRS TO BE FOUND.
QUESTION, SIR, YOU STILL THERE? HELLO? YEAH, I'M STILL HERE.
YEAH, SO SHE WAS ASKING WHO, HOW DID YOU FIND THE OWNERS OR WHO ARE THE OWNERS IF THE CODE OFFICER WASN'T ABLE TO MAKE THAT DETERMINATION? UH, WHAT I HAVE IS NOR DIAZ PLANNING TO THE ESTATE OF MARIA SOTO.
WELL, WHO IS, WHO IS, WHAT WAS THE FIRST NAME? NO, SOMEBODY, SOMEBODY, RIGHT? NORA DIAZ.
WHO IS NORA DIAZ? SHE'S THE HEIR TO THE ESTATE.
OKAY, BUT HOW DID YOU FIND HER? AND THE CODE OFFICER COULDN'T, THAT'S MY QUESTION.
CODE OFFICER ACTUALLY SAID HE HAD BEEN NOT, NOT BEEN IN CONTACT WITH THE OWNER.
HE DID NOT SAY HE DID NOT FIND THE OWNER.
HE JUST HAD NOT BEEN IN CONTACT WITH THE OWNER, OR AT LEAST THAT'S WHAT HIS REPORT SAID.
WELL, MY QUESTION STILL STANDS, HOW DID AN AIR AN AIR ESTATE IS THE OWNER OF THE PROPERTY? THE WHAT AN HEIR TO THE ESTATE IS THE OWNER ESTATE PROPERTY ESTATE.
BUT HOW DID YOU FIND THAT PERSON AND THE CODE OFFICER COULDN NOT FIND THEM OR THE, THE PERSON DIDN'T ACKNOWLEDGE THE DAKOTA OFFICER WENT ON? WE NOW TO DIFFERENT PROPERTIES.
WE SKIPPED TRACE ADDRESSES TO FIND OWNERS.
SO WE SPENT A LOT OF MONEY IN MARKETING FINDING THESE OWNERS, SO THAT, THAT, THAT'S HOW I WAS ABLE TO FIND HER.
AGAIN, AGAIN, THE, AGAIN, SIR, THE CITY SENDS OUT OWNERS TO ALL KNOWN RESIDENTS AND ADDRESSES AND, UH, PEOPLE ON, YOU KNOW, ON THE, UH, THE ROLES.
SO THERE WAS NO ACKNOWLEDGEMENT FROM, FROM THOSE PEOPLE BACK TO THE CITY CONCERNING THE PROPERTY.
I'M NOT SURE THAT'S SURPRISING THOUGH.
FACING SERVICES AND PRIVATE INVESTIGATORS TO FIND SOME OF THESE OWNERS.
MAYBE Y'ALL DIDN'T HAVE, I'M NOT SURE.
IS THIS A ROBOCALL THAT YOU FOUND? I'M SORRY? HOW DID YOU FIND WAS A ROBO CALL? NO, NO, I'M, I'M SAYING WE USE SKIP TRACING PROGRAMS TO FIND PHONE NUMBERS AND PROPERTY ADDRESSES AND THE OWNER'S ADDRESSES.
AND THEN WE ALSO USE PRIVATE INVESTIGATORS TO FIND PEOPLE IF THEY POSSIBLY MOVED.
MR. BURNS, I ASK THAT WE GO INTO AN EXECUTIVE SESSION.
UM, WE'RE GONNA GO INTO EXECUTIVE SESSION AND WE'LL, UH, COME BACK AFTER THAT.
[01:15:01]
WE'RE GONNA, UM, END THE CALL RIGHT NOW AND AS SOON AS EXECUTIVE SESSION HAS COMPLETED, WE'LL CALL YOU AND YOU CAN REJOIN THE MEETING AT THAT TIME.OKAY, SO WE'RE BACK IN OPEN SESSION.
ARE THERE ANY OTHER QUESTIONS BY THE BOARD CHAIRMAN? I'D LIKE TO MAKE A MOTION.
OKAY, ON ITEM NUMBER 4 14 10 19TH STREET SOUTHWEST, UH, SINCE WE HAVE GOTTEN THE INFORMATION THAT, UH, THE CONTRACT IS, IS BEING REVIEWED BY A TITLE COMPANY AND THAT WE HAVE BEEN ASSURED THAT WITHIN 15 DAYS THEY WILL BE CLOSING, I'D LIKE TO MOVE THIS CASE AND RESET IT TO THE NEXT AVAILABLE DATE IN A MOTION.
OKAY, SO THERE'S A MOTION FOR RESET.
DO WE HAVE A SECOND? I SECOND.
WHO IS THE SECOND? FRED ANDES WAS THE SECOND.
SECOND FOR MR. ANDES, DOES THE BOARD HAVE ANY DISCUSSION ON THE MOTION? I HAVE A FRIENDLY AMENDMENT.
HE, I THINK HE, MR. ZUNIGA, YOU SAID 15 DAYS, A FRIENDLY AMENDMENT TO 30 DAYS BECAUSE OF THE TITLE SURGE? UH, NO, NO.
SINCE WE'VE BEEN ASSURED THAT WAS IN 15 DAYS.
GONNA CLOSE THAT WE SET THE CASE THAT NEXT AVAILABLE DATE? YES, THAT'S CORRECT.
SO THE RESET IS FOR THE NEXT AVAILABLE DATE.
AND WE HAVE A SECOND FOR MR. ANDIS.
IS THERE ANY DISCUSSION ON THE MOTION? ALL HEARING NONE.
CAN WE HAVE A ROLL CALL, VOTE PLEASE.
IS THE, IS THE BUYER STILL ON THE LINE? YES.
WOULD YOU PLEASE HAVE THE TITLE COMPANY CONTACT, UH, DEVELOPMENT SERVICES, UH, YOU CAN WORK WITH, UH, JUDY OR YOUR CODE OFFICER SO THAT THEY CAN GET SOME MORE INFORMATION ABOUT, UH, THE TITLE TO THE PROPERTY? YES, ABSOLUTELY.

I AM THE CO-CHAIR PRESIDENT OF THE ASSOCIATION, HISTORIC WEST SIDE RESIDENT ASSOCIATION.
WE ARE HERE SPEAKING ON FIVE 16.
THE PURPOSE OF OUR ASSOCIATION AS WE RECEIVE NOTICES IS TO CREATE AN EFFECTIVE COMMUNITY VOICE FOR NEIGHBORHOOD RESIDENTS, BOTH PRIVATE AND PUBLIC, TO ADDRESS ISSUES THAT AFFECT NEIGHBORHOODS.
THAT INCLUDES ENHANCING THE WELLBEING OF THE COMMUNITY, DEVELOPING LEADERS TO ENCOURAGE COMMUNITY ENGAGEMENT AND DEEPENING A SENSE OF ACCOUNTABILITY AMONG MEMBERS AS WELL AS OTHERS WHO AFFECT OUR, OUR NEIGHBORHOOD.
OUR BOUNDARIES ARE SOUTH, SOUTH BOUNDARIES ARE IN LAREDO STREET EAST IS I 35.
NORTH BOUNDARIES IS COMMERCE STREET, WESTBOUND, RA, AND GUADALUPE STREET.
AS HOUSING IS SCARCE WITHIN OUR BOUNDARIES, WE ARE THE POOREST ZIP CODE 7 8 2 7.
AND TODAY ON THE B S B WARD, WE HAD OUR NEIGHBORING COMMUNITIES, WHICH WAS ONE AND TWO AND AND FIVE, WHICH IS OUR OUT OF OUR BOUNDARIES.
THESE ARE MOST OF THE, OF THE, OF THE BOUNDARIES THAT HAVE BEEN HIT WITH DEMOLITION.
WE ARE HERE TO PLEAD FOR 15, 16 NURSES TO BE ABLE TO COMMUNICATE WITH OUR RESIDENTS AND TO BE ABLE TO WORK WITH THE PROPERTY MEMBERS.
WE HAVE, UM, WE HAVE CONTACTED THE MORALES FAMILY.
UH, WE HAVE LEFT A MESSAGE FOR THEM, ALTHOUGH THEIR NEIGHBOR, WHICH IS MRS. OCHA, HAS BEEN VERY HELPFUL AND WE'VE BEEN ENGAGING WITH HER.
AND FIRST OF ALL, SHE WAS KIND OF SCARCE.
SHE WAS WORRIED ABOUT WHAT WAS GOING ON IN THAT HOUSE.
BUT AS SOON AS I TOLD HER WHAT OUR WORK WAS HERE IN THE WEST SIDE, SHE TOLD ME A LITTLE HISTORY ABOUT WHERE SHE'S AT.
IT WAS A CITY LIMITS IN SAN ANTONIO.
THERE USED TO BE A MULINO THERE.
FOR SOME OF YOU WHO DON'T KNOW WHAT MULINO IS, IT'S A PLACE WHERE YOU CAN BUY TAMALES IN BARBA.
AND SHE CONTINUED TO TALK ABOUT HOW IMPORTANT THIS HISTORY WAS AND THAT'S OUR PART TO BE ABLE TO EDUCATE OUR COMMUNITY AND IT'S VERY IMPORTANT.
SO SHE GAVE ME A PHONE NUMBER, SHE GAVE ME, UH, THE INFORMATION ABOUT THE MORALES FAMILY, AND WE WOULD LIKE TO BE ABLE TO, UH, TALK TO AND ENGAGE AND EXTEND THIS DEMOLITION TO BE ABLE TO TALK TO THE FAMILY.
WE RECEIVED OUR NOTICE ON MAY 26TH.
THAT DOESN'T GIVE US A LOT OF TIME.
AND WE ARE IN THE WORKS OF CONNECTING WITH OUR CO COMPLIANCE, WHICH I DID YESTERDAY WITH ALICIA
AND WE WANNA WORK TOGETHER MORE, BUT BECAUSE THINGS ARE GOING SO FAST IN THIS COMMUNITY AND WE GET TWO OR THREE NOTICES ALL THE TIME, WE WANNA BE ABLE TO HAVE THE COMMUNICATIONS TO BE ABLE TO RESTORE THIS BEAUTIFUL HOME WHO NEEDS WORK.
IT, IT, IT SEEMS TO BE STABLE.
HOW DO I KNOW THAT? I DO A LOT OF THIS WORK IN THIS COMMUNITY AND I'VE EDUCATED NOT ONLY MYSELF, BUT THE COMMUNITY MEMBERS, MEMBERS IN, IN THE HISTORIC WEST SIDE RESIDENT ASSOCIATION.
DO YOU HAVE ANYONE ELSE SIGNED UP TO SPEAK? NO, DO NOT.

MS. SUNGA, HAVE YOU ALL TALKED TO I KNOW YOU TRYING TO, YOU TRYING TO DO OVER THERE? I'M VERY AWARE.

THAT'S WHAT I'M TRYING TO FIND OUT TO
[02:00:01]
TODAY TO TRY TO GET ALL THESE THINGS TOGETHER.CONSERVATION, CONSERVATION AREA.
YOU CAN, LIKE I TOLD YOU THE LAST TIME, YOU, YOU CAN GET A CONSERVATION DISTRICT, SOMETHING LIKE THAT.
THAT'S HOW MY MIND, BUT I'M TELLING YOU, YOU KNOW, AS A, AND AS A BOARD MEMBER, SO BECAUSE WE GOTTA GO ON, I APPRECIATE THAT.
WE GOTTA GO ON WITH OUR WORK HERE AND UH, IT, IT, IT, IT'S A LITTLE LATE, BUT I MEAN, YEAH, A LOT OF THEM ARE DROPPING ON FIVE AND SIX AND WHATEVER AS YOU KNOW, A LOT OF OUR HOMES THAT ARE OLD.
BUT I MEAN, THE THING IS THIS, THAT WE DON'T HAVE THAT AUTHORITY HERE.
WE'RE, WE'RE THE CODE COMPLIANCE, YOU KNOW, AND IF A HISTORICAL REVIEWER OR YOU KNOW, ARE YOU MAKING A CONS, YOU KNOW, AREA, THEN IT'S DIFFERENT.
YOU KNOW WHAT I MEAN? BUT I MEAN, TALK TO YOUR COMPLIANCE AND TALK TO, I KNOW YOU'RE ALL DOING DAMN GOOD WORK, BUT, WELL, YOU KNOW, I MEAN THIS IS, I FEEL BAD, BUT YOU KNOW, I MEAN WE GOTTA KEEP ON DOING OUR WORK FOR THE HEALTH AND SAFETY OF THE COMMUNITY AND I KNOW THAT'S, THANK YOU.
ARE THERE ANY OTHER, UH, QUESTIONS FOR THE PUBLIC COMMENTS OR FOR THE CODE OFFICER? DID, UH, DID SHE HELLO MA'AM? MA'AM, DID YOU HAPPEN TO BRING IN ANYTHING TO, UH, LIKE A SCOPE OF WORK OR THE FINANCIAL ABILITY FOR THIS TO IMPROVE THIS PROPERTY OR ANYTHING? MA'AM, I DON'T KNOW ANYTHING.
LIKE I SAID, WE JUST RECEIVED NOTICE AND I JUST MET WITH THE CO COMPLIANCE JUST YESTERDAY.
BUT FROM HERE FORWARD, THAT'S WHAT WE WANT TO DO.
AND THAT'S WHAT WE'VE BEEN DOING WITH A LOT OF THESE COMMUNITY MEMBERS IS HELPING 'EM WITH THE SCOPE OF WORK, CONNECTING WITH THE CO COMPLIANCE.
THINGS ARE HAPPENING SO FAST IN THIS NEIGHBORHOOD.
WE GET THREE OR FOUR NOTICES A WEEK SOMETIMES, RIGHT.
WE, I KNOW WE, WE BARELY, OKAY.
SO WE, WE WANNA BE ABLE TO, IF YOU UNDERSTAND THAT, IS TO BE ABLE TO GIVE US SOME TIME TO BE ABLE TO WORK THESE PROCESSES THROUGH.
WE, AND WE NEED THAT PROCESS TO BE ABLE TO WORK CONTINUOUSLY.
UH, WITH, WITH WITH THE COMMUNITY.
WHAT WOULD YOU LIKE TO SEE RAM, WHAT WOULD YOU LIKE TO SEE HAPPEN HERE TODAY? IF YOU HAD ANY INFLUENCE, WHAT WOULD YOU LIKE TO SEE HAPPEN? I WOULD LIKE, I WOULD LIKE TO GET TOGETHER WITH CO COMPLIANCE OR TOGETHER TO BE ABLE TO OH, SORRY.
WHAT WOULD YOU LIKE TO GO AHEAD US DO FOR THE PROPERTY, WE CAN'T DO A WHOLE LOT.
THE ONLY THING THAT'S IN FRONT OF US IS, IS THIS PROPERTY A PUBLIC NUISANCE AND WE, UM, ACCORDING WE, WE CAN EITHER TEAR IT DOWN OR MAYBE BY SOME, YOU KNOW, LEAP OF FAITH, WE COULD PROBABLY RESET IT AND UH, YOU KNOW, TO HAVE YOU COME BACK IN 30 DAYS OR THE NEXT AVAILABLE MEETING.
BUT YOU WOULD HAVE TO HAVE ALL OF THE, UM, THE UH, SCOPE OF WORK, THE FINANCIAL ABILITY TO PAY FOR THE IMPROVEMENTS AND YOU'D HAVE TO GET WITH YOUR CODE OFFICER TO MAKE THOSE ARRANGEMENTS.
AND I'M GOING WITH THE LEAP OF FAITH
I MEAN, WE'VE DONE PRETTY WELL IN THE NEIGHBORHOOD TO BE ABLE TO CONNECT AND ENGAGE WITH OUR RESIDENTS TO GIVE THEM THOSE RESOURCES AND TO BRIDGE AND TO GET GAP, THE BRIDGE BETWEEN DEVELOPMENT SERVICES AND US.
ARE YOU THERE? YES, YES, MA'AM.
MA'AM, WHEN, WHEN IT GETS TO THIS BOARD, IT'S ALREADY BEEN NINE MONTHS, UP TO THREE YEARS IN SOME CASES.
SO ALL OF THIS STUFF SHOULD HAVE BEEN TAKEN CARE OF A LONG TIME AGO.
THE CITY BOARD, BEFORE IT EVEN COMES TO US, TRIES TO SET UP AN APPOINTMENT WITH THE OWNERS OF THE PROPERTY TO WORK US SOME TYPE OF ARRANGEMENT OUT.
SO BY THE TIME IT GETS TO US, OUR HANDS ARE PRETTY MUCH TIED.
BUT THIS IS NOT A NORMALITY, YOU UNDERSTAND? WE JUST GETTING OVER COVID.
COVID DID DAMAGES TO FAMILIES WHO PROBABLY DON'T HAVE THE MEANS, BUT THEY CAN BE CONNECTED TO THOSE MEANS.
WE'VE BEEN IN A YEAR STILL IN COVID.
SO THERE'S GOTTA BE SOME THINGS THERE, SOME COMFORT ZONE THERE TO BE ABLE TO GIVE US AFTER A YEAR OF CO OH, COVID.
WELL THAT'S WHY THEY HAVE THE, THE PROCESS BEFORE IT EVEN COMES TO THE BOARD.
[02:05:01]
THE PROCESS HAS NOT STOPPED BECAUSE OF COVID.THAT'S WHY WE'RE HAVING VIRTUAL MEETINGS.
BUT YOU ALL HAVE TO UNDERSTAND THE VIEW OF THE COMMUNITY AND THE COVID AND WHAT'S HAPPENING.
WE DO UNDERSTAND KIND OF THAT'S WHY WE'RE DOING THIS O OKAY.
SO ALLOW ME TO ALLOW ME MORE TIME, EVEN THOUGH WE CAN'T DO THAT, YOU KNOW, YOU KNOW, IN FRONT OF THE BOARD FOR IT'S IN FRONT OF THE BOARD FOR A SPECIFIC MOTION.
WE HAVE TO LOOK AT ALL OF THE EVIDENCE.
YOU HAVE TO BE A PROPERTY OWNER TO EVEN GET IT TO ADVANCE TO AND AND FROM MY UNDERSTANDING, IT'S NOT A PROPERTY OWNER THIS SPEC TODAY FOR THIS PROPERTY.
AND WE ARE REPRESENTING, WE'RE REPRESENTING, UH, THAT, THAT, UH, PROPERTY OWNER BECAUSE THAT'S WHAT WE DO IN THE NEIGHBORHOOD.
THE ONLY THING I CAN TELL YOU IS AGAIN, GO ON THE LEAP OF FAITH AND GIMME SOME MORE TIME AND COME BACK HERE HOPEFULLY WITH MORE OKAY.
MS. VAL, JUST SO HERE AGAIN, HAVE YOU REGISTERED YOUR NEIGHBORHOOD ASSOCIATION? NOT, UH, NOT MANDATORY WITH THE CITY OF SAN ANTONIO.
SO YOU CAN BE GETTING ALL, ALL THEM NOTICES, ET CETERA AND OTHERS.
EXCUSE ME, I'VE BEEN REGISTERED THREE YEARS.
I'VE BEEN WITH THE CITY FOR THREE YEARS.
HOW MANY, SOMETIMES TOO MANY NOTICES.
SO IF YOU GO LOOK INTO THE CITY AND LOOKING FOR REGISTERED NEIGHBORHOODS, MS. VALEZ IS THERE WITH MY ADDRESS.
WE'VE BEEN DOING A LOT OF CASES IN THE NEIGHBORHOOD.
WE JUST HELPED THE W BUILDING.
SO WE'RE KNOWN IN THE COMMUNITY.
OKAY, WE ARE, WE ARE STABLE AND WE ARE HERE.
WHETHER WE, WE GETTING HERE RIGHT NOW, YOU KNOW, WE JUST NEED THAT SUPPORT.
OKAY, I HAVE A QUESTION FIRST FOR MS. VALDEZ.
ELLEN, UH, MS. VALDEZ, I JUST WANTED TO WANNA CLARIFY YOU, YOU'RE HERE ON BEHALF OF THE OWNER, BUT YOU HAVE NOT YET ACTUALLY SPOKEN WITH THE OWNER OR HAVE ANY INDICATION OF WHAT THEIR INTENTIONS ARE WITH THE PROPERTY.
IS THAT CORRECT? MOST INTENTIONS OF THEM IS THEY'RE GOING THROUGH COVID.
WE HAVE THE OPPORTUNITY TO CONNECT WITH CERTAIN DEPARTMENTS WITH COMPLIANCE TO BE ABLE TO HELP HELP THEM.
WE ENGAGE THE COMMUNITY, WE TRY TO EDUCATE THE COMMUNITY TO ENHANCE THE WELLBEING OF THE COMMUNITY.
RIGHT? SO YES, AND I APPRECIATE THAT.
I JUST WOULDN'T YEAH, I'M SORRY, GO AHEAD.
I JUST GOT THE NOTICE ON MAY 26TH.
I JUST GOT CONNECTED WITH COMPLIANCE OFFICER ELISA
AND, AND I'VE BEEN DOING THIS FOR A LONG TIME NOW.
SO, UM, I I I PRETTY MUCH KNOW HOW WE CAN HELP RESIDENTS.
AND I JUST, I JUST WANNA MAKE SURE I UNDERSTAND IS THAT, BUT YOU HAVE NOT ACTUALLY TALKED TO THIS, THE OWNER OF THIS PROPERTY YET, IS THAT CORRECT? I GOT A PHONE NUMBER FROM THE NEIGHBOR.
I CALLED AND LEFT A MESSAGE, WHICH MEANS SOMEBODY'S ON THE OTHER SIDE.
WE JUST HAVE TO KEEP TRYING AND I KNOW, OKAY.
I'M GONNA, I'M GONNA STOP RIGHT HERE.
I APPRECIATE EVERYTHING THAT YOU'RE TRYING TO DO.
I'M GLAD THERE'S SOMEONE IN THE COMMUNITY THAT'S, THAT'S TRYING TO HELP EVERYONE AND TRYING TO CONNECT EVERYONE.
I JUST WANNA MAKE SURE THE BOARD, WE UNDERSTAND WHERE WE ARE TODAY.
UM, DOES THE BOARD HAVE ANY OTHER QUESTIONS FOR MS. VALDEZ? NO.
EVELYN? I HAVE, YEAH, I HAVE A MOTION.
UH, MA'AM I WANT YOU TO KNOW THAT WE APPRECIATE YOU COMING IN TODAY FROM THE NEIGHBORHOOD ASSOCIATION AND I UNDERSTAND NEIGHBORHOODS MA'AM AND I UNDERSTAND HOW THEY ARE, UH, DEMOLISHING AND THEY'RE GOING BYE-BYE.
SO I WOULD LIKE TO MAKE A MOTION FOR A 30 DAY RESET OR THE NEXT AVAILABLE DATE FOR THIS CASE TO RETURN TO US.
THAT WOULD ALLOW HER TIME TO GET IN TOUCH WITH THE FAMILY AND, YOU KNOW, HOPEFULLY COME BACK WITH THE, UM, WITH THE, ALL THE NECESSARY DOCUMENTS THAT SHE NEEDS TO HAVE.
OKAY? WE HAVE A MOTION FOR A 30 DAY RESET.
DO WE HAVE A SECOND? SECOND? OKAY, WE HAVE A SECOND.
WE HAVE A SECOND FOR MR. ZUNIGA.
DO WE HAVE ANY DISCUSSION? NO DISCUSSION.
CAN WE GET A VOTE PLEASE? MR. NELSON? NAY.
[02:10:01]
MR. ANDES NAY.THE MOTION IS TIED AT THREE NOT PASSED.
THE BOARD WOULD, THE CHAIR WOULD ENTERTAIN ANOTHER MOTION.
MR. NELSON? I MOVED THE COPY LOCATED AT FIVE 16 NATURE STREET IS A PUBLIC NUISANCE.
IT'S, UH, AND IS NOT FEASIBLE OF BEING REPAIRED AT THIS TIME.
IT IS IN VIOLATION OF CHAPTER SIX, ARTICLE EIGHT, SUBSECTIONS FIVE, SIX, UH, SUBSECTIONS OF 1, 5, 6 1 2, 5, 7, 8, 12, 15 AND THE BUILDING BE DEMOLISHED IN 30 DAYS.
OKAY? DO WE HAVE A SECOND? OKAY.
DO WE HAVE ANY DISCUSSION ON THAT MOTION? UH, I WOULD LIKE TO AT LEAST, UH, PRESENT THE REASONS WHY I MADE THE MOTION THAT IT'S, UH, OFTENTIMES WE HAVE INDIVIDUALS OR GROUPS THAT WANT TO TRY TO SAVE A BUILDING, BUT WHEN YOU GET RIGHT DOWN TO IT, THE ISSUE IS MONEY AND THEN THERE'S NO INDICATION THAT THERE'S ANY MONEY AVAILABLE TO ACTUALLY SAVE THIS BUILDING.
SO A 30 DAY RESET WOULD NOT ACTUALLY SAVE THE BUILDING BECAUSE THERE'S NO MONEY AVAILABLE FOR IT.
ANY FURTHER DISCUSSION? YES, I WOULD LIKE TO ASK FURTHER.
THIS IS FRED AND BY SECOND IT FOR A REASON IS THAT A, THE LEGALITY OF THE LADY DOES NOT REPRESENT THE FAMILY AND DOES NOT HAVE THE POWER OF ATTORNEY TO DO THIS WITH THE BUILDING.
ANY FURTHER DISCUSSION? ALL RIGHT.
CAN WE GET A VOTE ON THE SECOND MOTION? MR. NELSON? AYE.
MOTION IS TIED AT THREE TO THREE AND NOT PASSED.
SO A QUESTION FOR LEGAL, WHAT DO WE DO IN THIS SITUATION? I RECOMMEND THAT WE, UH, TABLE THIS, UH, THIS, UH, BECAUSE WE CAN'T GET PAST THREE TO THREE, SO WE'RE GONNA HAVE TO TABLE IT UNTIL THE FIRST AVAILABLE MEETING.
MR. CHAIR, THIS IS DWAY NELSON.
I'LL CHANGE MY MOTION ON MY VOTE ON THE FIRST MOTION TO RESET TO, AYE.
DO WE NEED TO REVOTE, UH, ERIC? YES.
UH, I GUESS, EVELYN, YOU WANNA GO AHEAD AND MAKE THE MOTION AGAIN? YES.
I'D LIKE TO RESET THIS CASE IN, IN THE NEXT 30 DAYS OR THE NEXT AVAILABLE DATE FOR THE, WHEN THE BUILDING STANDING BOARD MEETS AND, UH, ALLOW, UM, THE WEST SIDE NEIGHBORHOOD ASSOCIATION TO LOOK INTO THE MATTER FOR POSSIBLE REHAB.
DO WE HAVE A SECOND? SECOND, MR. DISCUSSION? YES, MR. CONVERSATION WITH MS. VA EZ BEFORE.
SO I, I WANNA INSTRUCT, YOU KNOW, ANYBODY OUT THERE LET'S MS. VALEZ POSITION THAT FIRST, JUST LIKE THE BOARD SAYING, LET THE COLONEL, JUST LIKE FRED WAS SAYING, YOU HAVE TO APPROACH A PERSON SELLING THE, THE PROPERTY.
UH, YOU GOTTA YOU GOTTA APPROACH THEM.
THEY MIGHT SAY, HEY, WE JUST WANNA TEAR IT DOWN.
AND THEN IF IT'S HISTORICAL YOU CAN GO THROUGH THE, THE PROCEDURES.
BUT FIRST BECAUSE US IT, IT'S PROBABLY THE LAST, WELL IT'S, YOU KNOW, THE LAST LINE OF DEFENSE.
SO THE, THE THING IS, IS THAT YOU HAVE TO GO TO THE PROPERTY OWNER BECAUSE THEY MIGHT COME BACK AND SAY, HEY, I'VE BEEN FIGHTING WITH A NEIGHBORHOOD, MY PROPERTY, I DON'T WANT IT.
SO YOU SEE, THAT'S THE ONLY THING I'M GONNA VOTE.
CAN WE HAVE A VOTE PLEASE, NELSON? AYE.
