THIS IS THE FIRST TIME 50 30 CREEKMORE DRIVE IS BEING PRESENTED BEFORE THE BOARD.
PLEASE NOTE ON AUGUST 26TH, 2022, A DANGEROUS ASSESSMENT RESPONSE TEAM INSPECTION WAS CONDUCTED.
THE INSPECTION IS A COLLABORATED INSPECTION WITH A VARIETY OF CITY DEPARTMENTS THAT INCLUDE THE SAN ANTONIO POLICE DEPARTMENT.
THE LEGAL DESCRIPTION IS 1 3 1 8 8 BLOCK 19, LOT 38, LOCATED IN CITY COUNCIL DISTRICT TWO.
THE OWNER ON RECORD IS HOWARD O JONES, WITH A MILLION ADDRESS OF 50 30 CREEKMORE DRIVE.
THE OFFICE OF HISTORIC PRESERVATION IS CONFIRMED ON AUGUST 31ST, 2022.
THE PROPERTY IS NOT ELIGIBLE FOR HISTORIC DESIGNATION.
THE FOLLOWING IS A TIMELINE OF EVENTS REGARDING THE NOTIFICATION PROCESS.
AN ORIGINAL INSPECTION WAS CONDUCTED, UH, UH, AT 50 30 CREEKMORE DRIVE ON AUGUST 26TH, 2022 ON NOVEMBER 17TH, 2022.

NO SCOPE OF WORK OR FINANCIAL PROOF OR LETTER OF CREDIT OR ENGINEER'S REPORT HAS BEEN PROVIDED AT THIS TIME.
NO PERMITS HAVE BEEN OBTAINED AS OF DECEMBER 7TH, 2022.
THE PROPERTY CURRENTLY DOES HAVE AN ACTIVE ELECTRICAL AND GAS AS OF OCTOBER 13TH, 2022.
SAWS HAS DISCONTINUED THE SERVICES AT THE LOCATION.
THERE IS A LARGE AMOUNT OF EXTENSIVE, UH, CRIMINAL HISTORY FOR CALLS FOR SERVICE WITHIN A TWO YEAR PERIOD, WHICH I WILL HAVE SS A P D HERE
[00:15:01]
TO GO INTO FURTHER DETAIL WITH THAT.THE PHOTOS THAT ARE BEING PRESENTED TODAY WERE TAKEN ON AUGUST 26TH, 2022.
THIS IS GONNA BE THE FRONT OF THE PROPERTY WITH THE STRUCTURE TAKEN IN FROM ACROSS THE STREET, UH, GETTING A CLOSER LOOK OF THE STRUCTURE, YOU HAVE A WORN ROOF SYSTEM, THE EXPOSED ELECTRICAL TO THE LEFT SIDE OF THE ELEVATION.
THIS PILLAR HERE IS OFFSET AND NO, AND NOT RESTING CORRECTLY.
MOVING ALONG THE RIGHT SIDE, THEY'VE ADDED ON A PATIO TO, AND THIS IS INDICATING HOW CLOSE IT'S TO THE, TO THE PROPERTY LINE.
MOVING ON TO THE BACK, THERE'S, THERE IS SOME DETERIORATION TO THE WOOD SIDING ALONG THE BOTTOM, AS WELL AS THE FASCIA BOARDS.
YOU HAVE EXTENSION, UH, ELECTRICAL EX, UH, CORDS RUNNING FROM INSIDE, CONNECTING SPLICING INTO THE, THE LIGHTING OUTSIDE.
MOVING INSIDE, YOU'LL HAVE, YOU'LL SEE THAT THERE'S INDICATIONS OF WATER DAMAGE TO THE WALLS TOWARDS THE BACK OF THIS PHOTO.
HERE'S A CLOSER LOOK TO THE RIGHT SIDE OF THE SAME PHOTO FROM THE PREVIOUS PHOTO, JUST SHOWING THE WATER DAMAGE, TAKING A PICTURE TO THE LEFT, WHICH WILL GO LEAD YOU INTO THE KITCHEN.
THE COUNTERTOP IS, IS ACTUALLY HALFWAY FROM THAT DOOR, WHICH IS POSING THE EGRESS CONCERN, AS WELL AS THE, THE WALL STARTING TO DETACH FROM THE STRUCTURE.
THE, FROM THE SIDING IS STARTING TO DETACH AT THIS TIME.
THERE'S ALSO SIGNS OF WORK BEING CONDUCTED TO THE STRUCTURE.
AS YOU CAN SEE ON THE LEFT SIDE OF THIS PHOTO.
UH, NEXT TO THE, THE SINK TO THE LEFT OF IT, THERE'S A CLOSER LOOK OF THE PLUMBING THAT WAS BEING WORKED ON, STILL SIGNS OF WATER LEAK.
MOVING INTO THE ROOM TO THE RIGHT, THEY'VE ADDED ON A SHEET ROCK, WHICH AT THIS TIME, THE, THE PEOPLE, THE INDIVIDUALS THAT ARE LIVING ON THE PROPERTY HAVE CONVERTED THIS INTO A MULTI-FAMILY STRUCTURE, WHICH IS NOT ALLOWED IN THE CURRENT ZONING.
CAN YOU STATE THAT AGAIN? THE OWNER, THE, THE INDIVIDUALS THAT ARE LIVING ON THE PROPERTY HAVE CONVERTED THIS STRUCTURE INTO A MULTI-FAMILY TENANT, WHICH DUE TO THE CURRENT ZONING, IT'S NOT PERMITTED.
AND I'M GONNA GET YOU THAT ZONING, WHICH IS ZONED R FIVE RIGHT NOW.
SO WHAT THEY'VE DONE HERE IS THEY'VE ACTUALLY PUT A WALL UP BEHIND THIS BED AND CONVERTED THIS AREA INTO A ROOM.
AND YOU CAN SEE THE SHEET ROCK THAT'S BEEN PLACED ALONG THAT BACK WALL, MOVING INTO ONE OF THE LIVING ROOMS TOWARDS THE FRONT OF THE STRUCTURE, YOU CAN SEE THAT THIS HALLWAY IS BEING, UH, HALFWAY BLOCKED, UH, WHICH IS ALSO POSED ANOTHER EGRESS CONCERN.
RIGHT AROUND THAT, THAT EDGE, YOU'LL SEE THAT THERE'S AN EXTENSION CORD THAT'S PLUGGED INTO THE FURNACE, WHICH RUNS UP TO THE FURNACE AND HAS BEEN SPLICED INTO THE FURNACE.
SHOWING THE OUTLET, UH, SHOWING THAT THERE'S SOME FIRE DAMAGE TO THAT OUTLET.
AND THEN THAT'S WHERE THE EXTENSION CORD RUNS INTO THE, INTO THE FURNACE.
I WAS TRYING TO GET A BETTER PICTURE OF THE INSIDE SHOWING THE SPLICING, BUT IT WAS, IT WAS VERY DIFFICULT TO GET A, A BETTER PICTURE OF THAT.
MOVING INTO ONE OF THE BEDROOMS, YOU'LL SEE ON THE RIGHT SIDE, AGAIN, SOME WORK WAS BEING DONE ON THE WALL, WHICH AT ONE POINT THEY HAD A WALKWAY GOING TO THE BACK PORTION OF THE STRUCTURE, BUT THEY'VE ENCLOSED IT.
HERE'S A BETTER PICTURE FROM A DIFFERENT ANGLE.
THEY'VE ACTUALLY ADDED ON A RESTROOM INSIDE, BEHIND THE TV AND THAT WALL, AS WELL AS, UH, ENCLOSING THE, THE WALL TO THE LEFT, SHOWING SIGNS OF THE AMOUNT OF WORK THAT THEY'RE DOING WITHOUT PERMITS.
NOW MOVING INTO THE RESTROOM, WE SEE THAT THERE'S A, A TOILET WITH THE DOOR FRAME, UH, FRAMING BEING DONE.
IT, IT'S, IT'S VERY DIFFICULT TO GET A BETTER PICTURE.
AND THIS WAS THE, THE AREA WAS SO ENCLOSED AND SMALL THAT I'M STANDING RIGHT IN FRONT OF THE TOILET.
BUT THIS IS JUST TO GIVE YOU AN IDEA THAT THEY'VE PUT A, A, A SHOWER AS WELL AS A SINK INSIDE THERE AS WELL, AND SHOWING SOME OF THE WORK THAT THEY'RE BEING THAT THEY'RE DOING TO THE WALLS UNDERNEATH THE SINK, YOU'LL SEE THAT THERE IS A WATER LEAK AS WELL AS, UH, CAUSING DAMAGE.
THIS PART IS GONNA BE THE BACK PORTION OF THE STRUCTURE THAT THEY'VE, THAT THEY'RE RENTING OUT.
THIS INDICATES THAT PEOPLE ARE LIVING INSIDE,
[00:20:04]
MOVING INTO THE NEXT ROOM.THIS WALL TO THE RIGHT IS THE WALL THAT LEADS INTO THAT, THAT OTHER, UH, ROOM WHERE THEY DID THE WORK ON THE RESTROOM, SHOWING SIGNS OF AMMUNITION IN THE PROPERTY, WATER DAMAGE TO THE ROOF, TO THE CEILING.
UH, WE'VE BEEN TOLD THAT THERE'S BEEN A LOT OF ACTIVITY HAPPENING AT THIS PROPERTY, AND I'LL HAVE SS A P D GO INTO FURTHER DETAIL AGAIN WITH THAT.
DUE TO THE CRIMINAL ACTIVITY, THIS IS JUST GIVING YOU AN IDEA THAT THEY'VE ACTUALLY MADE A HOLE INTO THE WALL AND ADDED A WINDOW UNIT, UH, AC UNIT, AS WELL AS ADDING POLES IN THE CENTER OF THE ROOM.
IN THIS AREA, IN THE KITCHEN, YOU'LL SEE THAT THERE IS A LARGE AMOUNT OF, OF DRUGS THAT WAS FOUND ON THE PROPERTY DURING OUR DART INSPECTION.
MORE DRUGS, UH, SHOWING NEXT TO THE TOILET, WHICH APPEARED THAT THERE WERE TRYING TO DISPOSE OF SOME PIPES.
A LARGE AMOUNT OF PIPES AND BAGS, AND THEN GUNS THAT WERE FOUND ON THE PROPERTY WERE ON THE INDIVIDUALS.
TO RECAP THE STRUCTURE LOCATED AT 50 30, CREEKMORE DRIVE IS IN VIOLATION WITH CITY CODE ARTICLE EIGHT, CHAPTER SIX DASH 1 56.

ORDER NUMBER 8 5 9 5 AND TWO FOUR DASH 17 DASH 97.
STAFF RECOMMENDS DEMOLITION WITH A PRO WITH THE PROPERTY, BE VACATED, SECURED, AND ALL UTILITIES BE DISCONNECTED.
THAT CONCLUDES MY PRESENTATION FOR 50 30 CREEKMORE DRIVE.
DOES ANYONE HAVE ANY QUESTIONS OF THE CODE ENFORCEMENT OFFICER AT THIS TIME? MADAM CHAIR, THIS IS FERNANDEZ.
UH, FIRST ONE, IT DOESN'T STATE IN THE NOTES HERE THAT IT'S OWNER OR WAS AT TENANTS THAT WERE DOING THAT WE WERE TOLD THAT THE OWNER IS DECEASED AND THE INDIVIDUALS THAT WERE THERE, I WASN'T ABLE TO SPEAK WITH THEM.
'CAUSE ALL OF THEM WERE ARRESTED THAT DAY.
AND SINCE THEN, I HAVEN'T MADE ANY CONTACT WITH THEM.
AND EACH TIME I'VE HAD TO GO OUT THERE, S A P D, HE'S EITHER TOLD ME NOT TO GO OUT THERE BECAUSE OF THE ACTIVITY, OR I WOULD HAVE TO HAVE A SS A P D ASSISTANCE.
AND THE POWER YOU'RE ASKING NOW TO BE SHUT OFF ALL UTILITIES? YES.
DID YOU PUT IN A REQUEST EARLIER TO DO THAT? NO, WE DID, DUE TO THE CRIMINAL ACTIVITY, WE JUST BROUGHT IT STRAIGHT TO THE BOARD.
UH, THE, THE BIGGEST ISSUE I HAD WITH ELECTRICAL WAS JUST THE FURNACE, BUT IF THEY WERE TO UNPLUG IT, IT'S NO LONGER ACTIVE, SO.
AND THE THIRD ONE IS ON THE NOTES.
IT'S RIGHT AT THE LAST SENTENCE.
IT HAS PROCEEDING WITH SIX DASH 16 ZERO AND THEN IT STOPS, AND THEN THE NEXT ENTRY IS 11 17 20 22.
WHAT IS PROCEEDING WITH 6 1 60? THAT'S THE CRIMINAL ACTIVITY THAT'S HAPPENING ON THE PROPERTY, AND THAT'S WHERE I'M BRINGING THIS, THIS CASE IN FRONT OF THE BOARD DUE TO THE CRIMINAL ACTIVITY.
ANY ADDITIONAL QUESTIONS TO THE COURT OFFICER? UH, YES.
WHAT ARE WE DOING WITH THE WEAPONS CONFISCATING WEAPON? THAT WOULD BE, UH, S A P D I BELIEVE THEY DID CONFISCATE MR. YOU, SORRY, THAT'S NOT VALID TO THE CASE.
SORRY, THAT'S NOT VALID TO THE CASE.
THAT WOULD BE A QUESTION FOR SS A P D.
I WOULDN'T BE ABLE TO ANSWER THAT ONE.
[00:25:02]
ALL RIGHT.CAN WE GET THE, UH, POLICE OFFICER PLEASE? HI, GOOD MORNING.
UM, I'M OFFICER, CAN YOU HEAR ME? YEAH.
I'M OFFICER RODRIGUEZ WITH SS A P D.
I WORK ON THE EAST, UH, SAFE UNIT, AND I COORDINATE THE DART WARRANTS FOR OUR SUBSTATION.
UM, FOR CREEKMORE, WHAT ORIGINALLY BROUGHT OUR ATTENTION IS, UM, I WAS HAVING COMPLAINTS FROM THE NEIGHBORS, JUST NONSTOP TRAFFIC BY FOOT, UH, CARS.
I HAD, UM, A COUPLE NEIGHBORS THAT WANNA BE ANONYMOUS, PROVIDE VIDEO OF ALL OF THAT ACTIVITY.
UM, SOME DRUG DEALINGS WERE CAUGHT ON CAMERA, UH, PROSTITUTION, UM, SEVERAL DIFFERENT CRIMINAL ACTS.
WELL, SO ONCE WE STARTED, YOU KNOW, SHOWING A LITTLE BIT MORE ATTENTION OVER THERE, UM, THERE WAS WANTED PEOPLE, WE, WE STARTED LOOKING BACK, THERE'S 47 CALLS TO THE PROPERTY FOR THE LAST TWO YEARS.
UM, THERE'S TWO WANTED PEOPLE THAT WERE ARRESTED.
UH, A COUPLE DISTURBANCES WITH THE KNIVES, UH, ASSAULTS, ROBBERY.
SO AS Y'ALL SAW FROM THE PICTURES, UM, THE TWO GUNS THAT WERE FOUND, ONE OF 'EM WAS FOUND UNDER THE PILLOW.
SO IT WAS IN THAT BACK STRUCTURE THAT THEY MADE INTO THE, UM, I GUESS A, A LITTLE RENTAL APARTMENT.
THE ONE WITH THE STRIPPER POLE BACK THERE.
UM, SO ONCE THE OFFICERS MADE ENTRY IN THERE, THEY, THEY SAW TWO INDIVIDUALS WHO WERE ARRESTED.
UM, THEY FOUND A GUN UNDER THE PILLOW THERE, AND THEN ANOTHER ONE HIDDEN UP ON A SHELF.
UH, WHEN THEY HAD ENTERED, THEY WERE COMING OUT OF THE BATHROOM.
AND THEN Y'ALL SAW IN THAT PICTURE THEY WERE TRYING TO FLUSH.
UM, IT ENDED UP BEING CRACK COCAINE.
UM, SO AT THAT TIME THEY WERE PLACED UNDER ARREST.
UM, THEY WERE BOTH KNOWN FELONS, WEREN'T THEY EVEN HAD, UM, SOME CONDITIONS.
THEY WEREN'T SUPPOSED TO BE AROUND FIREARMS OR AROUND EACH OTHER.
SO TOTAL OF CRACK COCAINE THAT WAS FOUND WAS 61 GRAMS, TWO TWO WEAPONS.
THERE WAS, UM, SOME UNKNOWN PILLS AND A BAGGIE.
AND THEN THERE WAS ALSO 2.2 GRAMS OF MARIJUANA.
UH, THE WEAPONS WERE PLACED IN OUR PROPERTY ROOM.
UM, AS FAR AS I KNOW, THEY ARE STILL THERE.
UM, THEY DIDN'T COME BACK STOLEN, BUT AT THIS TIME, UM, OR AS OF RIGHT NOW, THEY WEREN'T REPORTED STOLEN WEAPONS.
SO AFTER WE HAD SOME DETECTIVES COME OUT AT THE, THE TIME OF THE DART WARRANT IN AUGUST, AND UM, THEY WERE FAMILIAR WITH THE MALE THAT WAS ARRESTED IN THE BACK APARTMENT.
UM, HE'S A KNOWN DRUG DEALER, DRUG MANUFACTURER.
UM, SO THE PEOPLE BACK THERE, HE WAS HAVING ALL THE PEOPLE GO AND PRETTY MUCH BUY THROUGH THE ALLEY OR THROUGH THE FRONT OF THE HOUSE, GO AND BUY DRUGS THERE.
SO THEY'RE CONVERTING THE, THE, THE CRACK THE ROCK INTO, UM, THE COCAINE.
THERE WAS ALSO, UM, WELL, LIKE I SAID, PROSTITUTION, UM, STUFF CAUGHT ON VIDEO ON THE SIDE OF THE HOUSE AND THEN ALSO THE STRIPPER POLE INSIDE.
UM, THEY WOULD HAVE A LOT OF PEOPLE OVER THERE.
AND ONCE, UM, SO THAT HAPPENED IN AUGUST AND THEN ONCE THEY WERE RELEASED FROM JAIL, SO THERE WAS, I KNOW IT'S KIND ALL OVER THE PLACE, BUT SO THERE'S TWO PEOPLE THAT WERE ARRESTED IN THE BACK.
ONCE THEY WERE RELEASED FROM JAIL, ONE OF 'EM RETURNED.
UM, AND THE SAME THING STARTED KIND OF HAPPENING, UM, JUST FROM EVERYTHING THAT THE NEIGHBORS WERE TELLING ME AND SHOWING ME VIDEOS.
UM, THE LADY THAT, THAT LIVES THERE, THAT'S ALLOWING THE OTHER PEOPLE TO STAY THERE.
UM, SHE ENDED UP GOING TO JAIL BECAUSE OF, UM, AGGRAVATED ASSAULT WITH A DEADLY WEAPON, UM, THAT HAPPENED AT THE HOUSE.
[00:30:02]
SO WHILE SHE WAS GONE, STUFF CONTINUED TO HAPPEN.SHE WAS ONLY GONE, I BELIEVE, A FEW WEEKS.
AND THEN, UM, WHEN SHE CAME BACK, SAME THING.
UM, THE GUY, SO THE GIRL ENDED UP LEAVING AND THEN THE GUY CAME AND HE STARTED BRINGING STOLEN VEHICLES.
SO I HAD VIDEOS FROM NEIGHBORS, UM, SHOWING ME, LOOK, THESE PEOPLE ARE DROPPING OFF.
THEY HAD VIDEO OF 'EM DROPPING OFF VEHICLES, UM, COMING BACK, PICKING 'EM UP IN FRONT OF HER HOUSE.
AND ONCE I STARTED LOOKING INTO IT, THEY WERE, THAT ONE WAS STOLEN.
AND THEN, UM, THERE WAS TWO OTHER ONES THAT WERE RECOVERED AROUND THE CORNER, BUT THAT WERE BACK AND FORTH FROM THAT HOUSE.
SO WHEN CODE WANTED TO GO BACK AND TAKE MORE PICTURES, THAT THE GUY, UM, WITH THE STOLEN CARS, AND THAT WAS ORIGINALLY, ORIGINALLY ARRESTED WITH THE, UM, DEALING THE DRUGS.
HE HAD LIKE EIGHT FELONY WARRANTS AND HE'S KNOWN TO BE VIOLENT GUNS.
UM, SO I RECOMMENDED THAT WE DON'T GO BACK OUT THERE, UM, FOR UPDATED PICTURES.
AND THE LADY, UH, IN THE FRONT, SORRY, MY ALLERGIES IN MY THROAT, THE LADY IN THE FRONT, SHE IS VERY ARGUMENTATIVE.
UM, SO SHE WASN'T GONNA COOPERATE AND JUST LET US, YOU KNOW, GO ENTER HER HOME.
THERE'S ALSO, UM, ANIMAL CONTROL ISSUES.
UM, AT THE TIME OF THE DART THERE WAS FOUR, THREE OR FOUR PIT BULLS THAT THE GIRL IN THE BACK APARTMENT ENDED UP, UM, SIGNING OVER TO A C SS.
UM, SINCE THEN, NOW THERE'S ANOTHER ANIMAL WHO I, I SPOKE WITH THE LADY IN THE FRONT WHO SAYS IT'S HER DOG, BUT SHE ALLOWS IT TO RUN LOOSE.
AND SHE SAID, YOU KNOW, SHE DIDN'T SEE A PROBLEM WITH THAT.
UM, AND ON THE STREET, UM, MY NEIGHBORS, I'VE BEEN TOLD THAT IT'S RELATED, THERE'S A DRIVE-BY SHOOTING RIGHT DOWN THE STREET.
AND UM, THEY STATED THE WORD IS THE GUY FROM THE BACK APARTMENT COMMITTED THAT DRIVE-BY SHOOTING.
UH, AND THEN HE HAS SENT LIKE SINCE LEFT THE PROPERTY AFTER THE DRIVE-BY.
WE'VE BEEN LOOKING FOR HIM 'CAUSE HE HAS THE FELONY WARRANTS.
BUT BECAUSE, AND DO YOU HAVE ANY QUESTIONS? I KNOW I WAS KINDA, UM, WAIT, I'LL GO AHEAD AND THEN I KNOW YOU HAVE QUESTIONS.
SO, UM, WITH THE AMOUNT OF PEOPLE THAT HAVE BEEN ON THE PROPERTY AND COMING IN, YOU AGREE WITH THE SIX DASH ONE 60 HARBRIDGE? YES, I DO.
AND ON THE PROPERTY, IS IT THE SAME CLIENTELE OR IS IT DIFFERENT CLIENTELE COMING IN DIFFERENT? UM, WITH ALL THE VIDEOS THAT I WAS PROVIDED, UM, FROM A FEW DIFFERENT NEIGHBORS, THERE'S DIFFERENT CARS.
I MEAN, I, AT ONE POINT I HAD A WHOLE LIST OF CARS THAT WERE COMING AND GOING.
UM, AND THEN YOU COULD ALSO SEE PEOPLE ON FOOT THAT WOULD COME, UH, HANG OUT IN THE FRONT BY THE DRIVEWAY, THE CARPORT, AND THEN ALSO GO ONTO THE SIDE.
UM, AND THEN I DIDN'T HAVE VIDEO OF THIS, BUT ALL THE NEIGHBORS TOLD ME EVERYBODY WOULD GO THROUGH THE ALLEYWAY AND THERE WAS A BACK GATE.
SO IT, IT WAS SEVERAL DIFFERENT PEOPLE.
NEXT ONE IS, IS IT IS A FOOTPATH FOR CHILDREN GOING TO SCHOOL OR NO? NO, NOT, NOT RIGHT THERE, NO.
THERE'S A SCHOOL NEARBY, BUT NOT, BUT THAT'S, THAT'S NOT THEIR WALKING ROUTE.
ANY ADDITIONAL QUESTIONS FOR THE POLICE OFFICER? GO AHEAD, MS. WEINER, I, YOU, THIS MIGHT'VE BEEN SAID, BUT DO WE KNOW WHO OWNS THE HOUSE? SO IT WAS, IT'S HOWARD JONES WHO'S THE LEGAL OWNER.
UM, BUT I BELIEVE THE LADY IN THE FRONT HOUSE IS, AND I DON'T KNOW IF IT'S COMMON LAW, BUT IT WAS HIS WIFE, AND SO SHE'S THE ONE THAT'S STILL IN THE HOUSE AND THEN ALLOWED PEOPLE TO START, UM, FROM WHAT THE NEIGHBORS TOLD ME THAT HAVE LIVED THERE LIKE 40 YEARS, UH, THAT SINCE HE PASSED AWAY, SHE JUST LET EVERYBODY START COMING OVER.
SO I THINK IT WAS LIKE A YEAR AND A HALF, MAYBE TWO YEARS SINCE HE PASSED AWAY.
UH, AND NOTHING CAN BE DONE, AS YOU SAY, IT'S A SWINGING DOOR BACK AND FORTH, AND WITH OTHER PEOPLE GOING IN, YOU KNOW, DIFFERENT CLIENT, DIFFERENT PEOPLE GOING IN.
I'M SORRY, CAN YOU REPHRASE IT? YEAH, NOTHING CAN BE DONE.
YOU CAN JUST GO OVER THERE AND,
[00:35:01]
YOU KNOW, EVEN SAID THE DART THERE AND, UH, YOU, YOU HAVEN'T BEEN ABLE TO SOLVE THE SITUATION OR THE CITY OF SAN ANTONIO.DO YOU MEAN SINCE THE DART OR WHAT? WELL, SINCE YOU'VE HAD ALL THESE REPORTS, YOU KNOW, I MEAN, ACTIVITIES THERE, BUT YOU KNOW, I MEAN, I MEAN, WHAT I'M HEARING IS NOTHING HAS BEEN DONE WELL.
WE'VE CONSTRUCTIVE TO, HOPEFULLY WE CAN DO SOMETHING HERE TODAY WITH IT.
BUT I MEAN, YOU KNOW, IT, IT IS DEPRESSING TO HEAR THIS AND NOTHING GOES ON AND ON.
UH, WELL, POLICE HAVE BEEN CALLED OUT, LIKE I SAID, 47 TIMES.
UH, I MADE IT A POINT WHEN I WAS AT WORK TO GO BY THE LOCATION JUST BECAUSE OF THE NEIGHBORS BEING SO SCARED WITH EVERYTHING GOING ON.
UM, SO WE CAN'T BE THERE 24 7 UNFORTUNATELY, BUT WE ARE THERE AS OFTEN.
HOW, UH, HOW MUCH OF DISTRICT UH, TWO DO YOU HAVE? YOU'RE THE ONLY SAFE OFFICER? NO, THERE'S, THERE'S SEVERAL OF US.
I, THAT'S JUST MY PARTICULAR AREA.
HOW ABOUT HOW MANY BOTTLES? UM, WELL IT'S LIKE, ARE YOU FAMILIAR WITH THE EAST SIDE MI MR. ZIKA? AM I FAMILIAR WITH THE EAST SIDE, MR. ZIKA POINT OF ORDER? WE, WE NEED TO GET TO THE CASE ITSELF BECAUSE WE, WE UNDERSTAND THERE'S HARBORING BUT WE DON'T, WE'RE NOT CONCERNED ABOUT HOW SHE'S DEALING, YOU KNOW? NO.
THE CITY IS CONCERNED ON HOW YEAH.
THE CITY IS CONCERNED, BUT WE'RE, WE'RE TALKING ABOUT THE CASE ITSELF.
DOES ANYONE, UH, NEED TO SPEAK WITH THE CODE OFFICER? OH, DO WE HAVE ANY PUBLIC COMMENTS? I KNOW YOU HAVE VIDEOS.
DO YOU HAVE THE VIDEOS HERE? NO.
UH, DO WE HAVE ANY PUBLIC COMMENTS? NO, NO PUBLIC COMMENTS.
UM, DO WE HAVE A MOTION? OKAY.

THIS IS STILL IN THE LIVING ROOM.
FACING THE LEFT, YOU CAN SEE THERE'S FIRE DAMAGE WALLS.
THERE'S DRYWALL FALLING, THERE'S CHARRING TO THE CEILING JOISTS AND THE DECKING.

UH, JUST FIRE DAMAGE TO THE CEILING AND FIRE DAMAGE TO, TO, TO THE KITCHEN AS WELL AND, AND MORE OF THE DEBRIS THAT YOU SEE THERE.
I, THIS IS GOING TO BE, UM, IN THE DINING ROOM.
I MADE MY WAY AROUND TO SEE IF I CAN GET INTO THE REAR DOOR.
AGAIN, THIS IS PROBABLY ABOUT TWO FEET OF DEBRIS.
UM, UM, AGAIN, JUST TO SHOW THE EXTENT OF THE DAMAGE FROM ONE END TO THE STRUCTURE TO TO TO THE FRONT.
UM, REMAINING IN THE DINING AREA JUST TO SHOW THE, THE HEIGHT OF THE DEBRIS.
THAT COUCH IS ALMOST TOUCHING THE CEILING AND THE FIRE DAMAGE TO, TO THE CEILING AND THE WALLS AS WELL.
UM, A LITTLE HARD TO TELL, BUT THIS IS A DOORWAY TO THE RIGHT OF THIS ROOM.
I WAS UNABLE TO GET MYSELF IN THERE, BUT THERE WAS DEBRIS STACKED TO THAT INSIDE THAT ROOM AS WELL.
THIS IS ANOTHER DOORWAY, UM, IN THE DINING ROOM.
I WAS UNABLE AGAIN TO MANEUVER MYSELF IN THERE, BUT, UM, IT'S KIND OF HARD TO TELL IN THAT PHOTO.
BUT THERE WAS DEBRIS AND FIRE DAMAGE STACKED TO, TO THE TOP OF THAT ROOM AS WELL.
UM, THIS IS A BEDROOM THAT WAS VIEWED FROM, UH,
[01:15:01]
A WINDOW THAT WE UNSECURED TO GET A PHOTO, UH, MORE FIRE, FIRE DAMAGE TO THE, TO THE WALLS AND THE CEILING AND JUST THE INSULATION FALLING AND MORE DEBRIS.THIS IS AN ANOTHER BEDROOM THAT WE WERE ABLE TO TAKE A PHOTO OF AND, AND JUST MORE OF, UM, SMOKE DAMAGE TO THE WALL AND THE INSULATION FALLING.
AND THE DEBRIS, UH, IS AT THE HEIGHT OF THE WINDOW WHEN WE WERE TRYING TO APPEAR IN TO TAKE A PHOTO.
AND THIS IS THE RESTROOM AGAIN, JUST SHOWING MORE OF THE FIRE DAMAGES AND SMOKE DAMAGE.
3 0 7 DON RIDGE IS A SINGLE STORY, MAIN STRUCTURE LOCATED IN A RESIDENTIAL ZONE.
IT'S THE GABRIEL RUTH WITH ASPHALT SHINGLE COVER SYSTEM HAS SUFFERED SIGNIFICANT FIRE DAMAGE WITH CHARING TO THE DECKING AND RAFTERS AND CEILING JOISTS.
THERE IS CHARRING TO THE OVERHANG AND FACIAL BOARDS, FIRE DAMAGE TOP PLATE AND STUDS.
INTERIOR WALLS, DRY WALL FROM THE CEILING AND WALLS WERE CONSUMED BY THE FIRE.
THERE ARE HOLES CREATED BY THE FIRE ON THE ROOF SYSTEM.
NATURAL LIGHT IS VISIBLE ALLOWING THE ELEMENTS WITHIN THE STRUCTURE.
SHINGLES ARE LIFTING SMOKE DAMAGE WITH CHARRING, UH, UNDER THE CARPORT AND PORCH AREA.
THE STRUCTURE TO RECAP THE STRUCTURE LOCATED AT 3 0 7 DUN RIDGE IS IN VIOLATION OF CITY CODE ARTICLE EIGHT, CHAPTER 6 1 5 6.
SUBSECTIONS 1, 2, 4, 5, 7, 8, 11, 12, 15, 17, AND 18 IN WHICH ANY BUILDING OR STRUCTURE WHICH HAS ANY OR ALL THE CONDITIONS OR DEFECTS HEREINAFTER DESCRIBED SHALL BE DEEMED TO BE A DANGEROUS BUILDING AND A HAZARD TO PUBLIC HEALTH, SAFETY AND WELFARE.
PROVIDED THAT SUCH CONDITIONS OF DEFECTS OF DILAPIDATION, SUBSTANDARD, OR UNFITNESS FOR HUMAN HABITATION POSE A THREAT OR POTENTIAL THREAT TO LIFE, HEALTH, PROPERTY OR HUMAN SAFETY STAFF RECOMMENDS DEMOLITION.
THIS CONCLUDES MY PRESENTATION FOR 3 0 7 DON RIDGE.
DOES ANYONE HAVE ANY QUESTIONS FOR THE CODE OFFICER? NO, UM, I DO.
UM, SO HOW MANY TIMES HAVE YOU ALL HAD TO SECURE THE PROPERTY? I I KNOW THAT YOU SECURED IT PRIOR TO NOVEMBER AND THEN IT WAS, SEEMED LIKE IT WAS BROKEN INTO OR SOMETHING WAS TAKEN OFF, BUT, UH, SO TO HAVE THE PROPERTY CLEANED AND SECURED THE FIRST TIME I, I'M ASSUMING, I'M ASSUMING, I'M SORRY.
AFTER THE FIRE, UH, NOVEMBER OF 2021, IT WAS ABATED, UH, AND THE COST OF THAT WAS 1,710 AND IT WAS RESECURED AGAIN IN AUGUST OF 22 AND RESECURED AGAIN, UH, IN NOVEMBER OF 2022.
SO Y'ALL HAVE DONE THAT THREE TIMES, SO, SO THAT MEANS THAT THERE'S PROBABLY BEEN SOME VAGRANT ACTIVITY.
SO THAT'S, UM, IN THE PHOTO I SHOWED THAT DURING THAT LAST INSPECTION SOMEONE HAD UNSECURED THAT BACK DOOR.
OKAY, AND THIS IS NEAR A SCHOOL? YES, IT IS WITHIN A THOUSAND FEET OF LEE HIGH SCHOOL.
THIS IS FRED EZ, THE OWNER STATES IN HERE THAT YOU GUYS TALKED TO HIM AND HE SAID HE WAS GONNA TALK IT OVER WITH HIS DAUGHTER.
HE WAS IN THE PROCESS OF TRYING TO SELL THE PROPERTY.
THAT'S WHAT WAS STATED TO THE INITIATING OFFICER.
I, MYSELF HAVE HAD NO CONTACT WITH THE PROPERTY OWNER, BUT ALL THAT STUFF WAS IN THERE.
WAS THERE ANY INDICATION THAT THEY WERE LIVING THERE OR WAS IT NO, IT, UH, SINCE I TOOK OVER THE CASE OF THE, THE STRUCTURE OR THE PROPERTY HAS BEEN UNOCCUPIED.
ANY ADDITIONAL QUESTIONS? I HAVE A QUESTION FOR STAFF.
F MS. JENNY, THIS MIGHT BE A QUESTION FOR YOU.
YOU KNOW, I'M LOOKING AT THE DATES HERE AND THIS CASE STARTED IN 2021 AND IT ENDED WELL JUST A, YOU KNOW, A FEW MONTH, UH, MONTH OR SO AGO.
SO THAT'S LIKE A WHOLE YEAR IN ALL THIS CONTACT WITH THE BANK AND WHOEVER THIS GUY IS THAT OWNS THE PROPERTY.
SO WHY WERE YOU ALL GIVING, GIVING THEM ADDITIONAL TIME BECAUSE OF THE STUFF THAT THEY WERE TELLING YOU OR WHAT I, YOU KNOW, I, I DON'T UNDERSTAND THE, THE LONG, ALL THE CONVERSATION THAT WAS DONE HERE AND STILL NO PROGRESS.
I'M GONNA DEFER THAT TO THE, TO THE OFFICER PRESENTING IF SHE HAS THE ANSWER.
OTHERWISE I CAN GIVE YOU A GENERAL ANSWER.
UM, AGAIN, I, I TOOK OVER THE CASE IN AUGUST AND I KNOW THERE WAS SOME TIME BETWEEN, UH, THE CASES AS FAR AS IT GETTING TRANSFERRED, BUT AS SOON AS I RE UH, WAS INHERITED THE CASE, I PROCEEDED MOVING FORWARD WITH THIS PROCESS, TAKE THE CASE OVER UNTIL IT WAS ALMOST DONE.
RIGHT? YOU DIDN'T TAKE IT OVER IN 21? NO, MA'AM.
[01:20:01]
AUGUST OF 2022.SO AGAIN, I'M GONNA ASK WHY DID IT TAKE SO, SO, SO LONG AND SO MUCH CONVERSATION AND NOTHING'S BEEN DONE TO THE PROPERTY.
THAT SHOULD BE LIKE A, A MANAGEMENT, I DON'T HAVE THE ANSWER FOR YOU ON THAT MS. BROWN, BUT WE'LL, WE'LL REVIEW THAT CASE.
THAT OFFICER WHO PREVIOUSLY HAD IT IS NO LONGER WITH THE DEPARTMENT, SO WE'LL, WE'LL DOUBLE CHECK.
I KNOW WE'VE WORKED ON SOME BACKLOGS ON SOME OF THESE CASES, UM, AND THAT'S WHERE OUR NEW STAFF THAT HAVE TAKEN OVER ARE, ARE HITTING THE GROUND RUNNING WITH THESE CASES.
BUT, UH, WE'LL, WE'LL TAKE A LOOK TO, TO TRY TO KEEP THAT TO A MINIMUM ON THESE.
I, I GUESS I JUST, YOU KNOW, WANTED TO AN ANSWER BECAUSE IT'S, IT, IT DOES TO ME.
IT DOESN'T COMPUTE, YOU KNOW, IT DOESN'T MAKE SENSE IN, IN MY COMPUTER HERE ABOUT THE, THE TIME, THE, ALL THE TALK, ALL THE CHITCHAT, BUT THEN THE OFFICER ISN'T HERE TO ANSWER THAT.
SO, BUT I THOUGHT MANAGEMENT WOULD HAVE AN ANSWER.
UM, ANYONE PREPARED, UH, FOR A MOTION? YOU YOU GOT IT? GO AHEAD MR. TAPIA.
UM, THIS IS FOR THE DEMOLITION OF A MAIN STRUCTURE.
I MOVE THAT THE PROPERTY AT 3 0 7 DON RIDGE DRIVE SAN ANTONIO 7 8 2 1 3 IS A PUBLIC NUISANCE AS DEFINED BY ARTICLE EIGHT, CHAPTER SIX DASH 1 56, SUBSECTIONS 1 12 4 5 7, 8, 11, 12, 15, 17, AND 18.
AND THAT, AND THAT THE PROPERTY IS NOT FEASIBLE FOR BEING REPAIRED IN ORDER THAT THE PROPERTY BE DEMOLISHED WITHIN 30 DAYS OF THIS HEARING.
SO WE HAVE A 30 DAY DEMO FOR PROPERTY 3 0 7 DON RICH DRIVE FOR SUBSECTIONS OF A MAIN 1, 2, 4, 5, 7, 8, 11, 12, 15, 17, AND 18.
DO I HAVE A SECOND? THIS IS FRED ANDERSON SECOND.
IS THERE ANY DISCUSSION? HEARING NONE? CAN WE GET A ROLL CALL PLEASE? LENCIA HAYES.
MOTION PASSES WITH THE VOTE IS SEVEN TO ZERO.
MR. ZUNIGA, FOR THE RECORD, COULD YOU PUT SPEAKING TO THE MIC ON, ON YOUR RECOMMENDATION? WE DIDN'T GET THE, I DIDN'T GET THAT RECOMMENDATION.
WE DIDN'T HEAR IT IN THE MIC, SIR.
'CAUSE THAT'S WHAT I SAID THAT THE MOTION THAT I AGREED WITH THE MOTION.
DO WE HAVE ANY ADMINISTRATIVE ITEMS? YES.
TWO, GO AHEAD, MS. I WANTED TO MAKE SURE THAT THIS BOARD UNDERSTOOD.
THERE'S A CLARIFICATION ON A COUPLE OF THINGS THAT I DIDN'T DEEM IT APPROPRIATE TO TALK DURING THE, THE, THE AGENDA.
FIRST AND FOREMOST WAS I, I WANNA MAKE SURE THIS BOARD UNDERSTANDS THAT, UM, WHEN CODE IS TRYING TO DEAL WITH A A, A, A NUISANCE PROPERTY AND DART COMES INTO PLAY, THE MAIN THING THAT DART IS GOING TO DO IS BRING THE PROPERTY TO YOU.
SO, I I I WANT, I'M SAYING THAT TO YOU TO LET, MAKE SURE YOU UNDERSTAND THAT WHEN SS A P D COMES AND, UH, A PROPERTY IS BROUGHT TO YOU AS A DP OR AN S A P M C, YOU ARE DART'S MAIN WAY TO ADDRESS PROPERTIES IN ADDITION TO IF THERE ARE MORE SERIOUS ISSUES DEALING WITH, UH, SAVITA AND SAM ADAMS WILL TAKE IT THE CIVIL ROUTE AND FILE A LAWSUIT.
SO I WANTED, I WANTED THE BOARD TO MAKE SURE YOU UNDERSTOOD THAT.
SO SOMETIMES WHEN WE'RE, OH MY GOSH, YOU GUYS, HOW ARE, HOW IS S A P D DEALING WITH THIS PROPERTY? HOW IS THE CITY DEALING WITH THIS PROPERTY? THE WAY IT'S BEING DEALT WITH THE PROPERTY IS WE BRING IT TO YOU.
SECOND, UM, IN REGARD TO DON RIDGE, UM, THAT WE JUST CAME UP AND THERE WAS CONCERN WITH WHY IS IT TAKING SO LONG? AND I HEAR YOU, I, IT, IT IS A CONCERN, BUT I ALSO WANNA MAKE SURE THIS BOARD UNDERSTANDS, UM, ARE WE BEING RECORDED? ARE WE BEING STREAMED? YES.
I JUST WANNA MAKE SURE THAT THIS BOARD UNDERSTANDS THAT IF DEVELOPMENT SERVICES IS FULLY AWARE THAT IF THEY BRING A PROPERTY TO YOU AND THEY KNOW THAT THERE'S NOT GOING TO BE AN OWNER OR RESPONSIBLE PERSON COMING, OR AN INDIVIDUAL COMING TO, UM, SPEAK ON BEHALF OF THAT PROPERTY,
[01:25:02]
THEY UNDERSTAND THAT THIS BOARD IS LIMITED ON WHAT THEY CAN DO, AND YOU AS A BOARD ARE LIMITED IF THERE IS NO ONE ON THE OTHER SIDE COMING HERE TO SAY, HEY, THIS IS WHAT WE WANNA DO WITH THIS PROPERTY, OR, HEY, WE NEED THIS TIME TO, TO, TO ADDRESS THE PROPERTY.SO WHILE SOMETIMES IT SEEMS THAT THESE PROPERTIES ARE, IT'S TAKEN A WHILE TO COME TO THIS BOARD, I, I DO WANNA REMIND THIS BOARD THAT YOU ARE THE CABOOSE, YOU ARE THE LAST STOP TO PROPERTIES, AND THE LAST THING THAT DEVELOPMENT SERVICE WANTS TO DO IS BRING A PROPERTY TO THIS BOARD KNOWING THAT THERE IS NO OWNER OR ANY RESPONSIBLE PARTY THAT'S GOING TO COME IN.
SO, WHILE I UNDERSTAND THAT WE ARE DEALING WITH DILAPIDATED SERVICES AND, UH, MS. BROWN, I, I COMPLETELY UNDERSTAND WHERE YOU'RE COMING FROM.
WE'VE BEEN ON THIS BOARD TOGETHER FOR A REALLY LONG TIME.
I HAVE BEEN HAVE THE HONOR TO REPRESENT THIS BOARD, BUT I ALSO WANNA MAKE SURE THIS BOARD UNDERSTANDS THAT, UM, DEVELOPMENT SERVICES CAN'T JUST, WELL, YOU KNOW WHAT, WE'VE BEEN TRYING FOR A COUPLE OF MONTHS, LET'S BRING THIS PROPERTY BECAUSE IF THEY DO, UH, NOT ONLY ARE WE RESORTING TO THE, ARE, NOT ONLY ARE WE GETTING TO THE LAST RESORT, WHICH IS, UM, EXPOSING A PROPERTY TO DEMOLITION WAY TOO EARLY.
IT'S NOT SOMETHING THAT DEVELOPMENT SERVICES WANTS TO DO.
SO I JUST WANNA MAKE SURE THIS BOARD UNDERSTANDS THAT.
AND I'M, I MEAN, NO DISRESPECT TO ANYBODY ON THE BOARD, BUT I DO WANNA UNDERSTAND SOMETIMES IT'S GOING TO TAKE LONGER BECAUSE WE, WE DON'T WANT TO LOSE ANOTHER, UH, STRUCTURE.
WELL, YOU KNOW, YOU KNOW, I DON'T, I DON'T, I DIDN'T MEAN ANY DISRESPECT TO JENNY, BUT JENNY IS A MANAGEMENT PERSON.
AND WHEN YOU ARE A MANAGEMENT PERSON, IF SOMEONE ASKS YOU A QUESTION, YOU SHOULD HAVE SOME KIND OF IDEA OF WHAT'S GOING ON.
'CAUSE I WAS READING THE CASE AND IT WAS A LOT OF CHITCHAT GOING ON IN THE, IN THE CASE, YOU KNOW, WITH THE CODE OFFICERS.
UH, THE, UH, I DON'T KNOW HOW MANY CODE OFFICERS WERE ON THAT CASE, BUT IT WAS A LOT OF CHITCHAT AND WITH THE BANK AND THE, THE OWNER AND, AND WHOEVER ELSE WAS, YOU KNOW, IN THE, IN THE, IN THE, UH, DISCUSSION.
AND I THOUGHT MANAGEMENT WOULD'VE HAD A, UH, SOME KIND OF ANSWER FOR, FOR A YEAR OF CHITCHAT.
AND, AND IT, HAD IT BEEN BROUGHT TO OUR BOARD BEFORE THIS, THAT, THAT'S ALL I WAS ASKING.
I JUST WANNA MAKE SURE YOU UNDERSTAND THE, THE ANSWER IS THIS, BECAUSE IF WE BRING THIS PROPERTY TO THIS BOARD, UM, IF WE DON'T GIVE IT IS ALL THE OPPORTUNITY THAT WE CAN TO TRY TO SAVE IT, THEN, UM, AGAIN, THIS BOARD IS LIMITED ON WHAT THEY CAN DO IF THERE'S NO ONE COMING BY THAT, THAT IS, THAT IS BLUNTLY THE REASON WHY WE DO NOT WANNA BRING A PROPERTY.
IF THERE IS ANY TYPE OF CHANCE OF THAT PROPERTY BEING ABLE TO BE SAVED.
AND IF WE AREN'T DEALING WITH ANYBODY, UM, WE BRING THIS PROPERTY TO THIS BOARD AND THERE'S NO ONE THERE TO, TO TRY TO SAVE IT, IT'S, IT'S, IT'S TOUGH TO, UH, TO COME BACK FROM A, A DEMOLITION ORDER AS THEIR LEGAL COUNSEL.
NOT ONLY THIS BOARDS, BUT ALSO I DO REPRESENT DEVELOPMENT SERVICES.
WE DO NOT WANT TO DEVELOPMENT SERVICES, NOT WANT TO BRING A PROPERTY, UM, IF THERE IS SOME TYPE OF CHANCE OF SAVING IT.
I GOT SOMETHING FOR THE, UH, THING.
UM, THANK YOU VERY MUCH FOR BRINGING THIS UP.
I DON'T THINK NONE OF US REALLY FEEL, YOU KNOW, INSULTED WITH THE INFORMATION YOU GIVE US, YOU KNOW, EVERY MEETING.
WHEN THE CHAIR OF THE BOARD READS THE STATEMENT, IS THAT NOT SUPPOSED TO BE LISTED ON THE AGENDA AS WELL? ESPECIALLY, UH, THE SPANISH INTERPRETATION? ARE THOSE SUPPOSED TO BE ON THE AGENDA WHEN YOU START THE AGENDA OUTLOOK? I AM, I'M REFERRING TO JUDY ON THAT ONE, AND I DON'T BELIEVE WE'VE HAD IT PREVIOUSLY ON THERE.
SO NO, I DON'T THINK IT'S BEEN OMITTED.
IT'S NEVER BEEN, YEAH, IT'S NEVER BEEN ON THERE IS WHAT, UH, I'M NOT SURE WHAT YOU'RE REFERRING TO.
WELL, ANYTIME THERE'S AN AGENDA, ALL THE ITEMS ARE SUPPOSED TO BE PUT ON AN AGENDA AND WHEN YOU READ A CHAIRMAN'S STATEMENT, THERE'S NOTHING IN HERE ABOUT A CHAIRMAN'S STATEMENT.
OH, WELL, AND THERE'S NOTHING IN HERE ABOUT A TRANSLATOR IF IT'S ON THE AGENDA AND IT'S NOT ON HERE, BUT YET YOU'RE READING OTHER STUFF INTO THE AGENDA.
I'M JUST ASKING, IS THAT SUPPOSED TO BE PART OF THE AGENDA? I, THIS IS LEGAL.
UM, UM, IF IT'S PART OF OUR PROCEDURE AND OUR USUAL POLICY, UM, PUTTING THAT ON THE AGENDA AS A SPECIFIC AGENDA ITEM, UM, I DON'T, I DON'T THINK WOULD BE ACCURATE.
IT'S NOT NECESSARILY AN, AN AGENDA ITEM.
IT'S MORE OF AN INTRODUCTORY, LETS YOU KNOW WHAT'S GOING ON.
UM, IT COULD BE, UH, PART OF THE, UM, CALL TO ORDER AND
[01:30:01]
OR ROLL ROLL CALL.SO I'M, I'M JUST ASKING FOR THE OPEN MEETINGS ACT BECAUSE YOU HAVE AN AGENDA, BUT YET YOU'RE READING SOMETHING THAT'S NOT ON THE AGENDA.
SO JUST SO YOU KNOW IT, THE, UH, THE CHAIRMAN'S STATEMENT IS NOT PART OF THE AGENDA.
IF, IF IT WAS PART OF THE AGENDA, THEN IT'D ALSO BE OPEN TO PUBLIC COMMENTS, WHICH IT'S, IT'S, IT'S JUST, OKAY.
IT'S JUST THE CHAIRMAN'S INTRODUCTORY STATEMENT.
WHAT I WILL DO JUST TO, UM, EASE ANY CONCERNS THAT WE WOULD HAVE, I'LL, I'LL CONSULT WITH, WITH, WITH SAM AND SAVITA AND SEE IF THEY WANT US TO PUT IT ON THE AGENDA.
I, I WOULD AND, AND, AND MY BOSS JOE.
I, I WOULD ASSUME NO, BUT, UH, IF, IF THAT'S SOMETHING THAT WOULD, UH, CLARIFY, THEN WHY NOT? SO I'LL, I, I WILL LOOK INTO THAT FOR YOU.
ANYTHING ELSE, JUDY, YOU HAVE ANYTHING? NOPE.
THIS IS MY LAST MEETING WITH Y'ALL AS THE CHAIR.
IT WAS A WONDERFUL TIME TO SERVE YOU ALL.
AND SO CAN WE ADJOURN THIS MEETING BY ACCLIMATION MEETING ADJOURNED? MERRY CHRISTMAS EVERYBODY.
