UM, IT WAS BOTH POSSIBLY A LIVING AREA AT ONE POINT, SUPPOSED TO BE.
SEGURA IS A SINGLE STORY RESIDENTIAL STRUCTURE, WHICH HAS SEVERE FIRE DAMAGE TO THE RIGHT ELEVATION, AND A DETERIORATION TO THE MAIN COMPONENTS OF THE STRUCTURE.

I DID TALK TO, UH, MR. UH, MILLER, FLORIAN MILLER, THE OWNER.
UM, AND HE WAS VERY, I, I HAVEN'T SPOKEN TO HIM.
THAT WAS THE FIRST TIME I EVER SPOKE TO HIM.
UM, HE FELT THAT THE ROOF, REPAIRING THE ROOF FIRST WAS THE MOST SIGNIFICANT, UH, PART OF IT.
UM, AND HE SAID HE JUST NEVER GOT TO THE POINT OF FIXING THE OTHER PART OF THE PROPERTY.
UM, BUT HE, HE KEPT, WHEN I WAS TALKING TO HIM, HE KEPT SAYING THAT THE ROOF IS FIXED.
IN THE FIRST TIME YOU GUYS WENT OUT THERE WAS 0 1 0 2 20 23? YES, SIR.
SO IN 2022, HE HAD PULLED A ROOFING PERMIT AT WHAT MONTH? UH, LATE, UH, UH, LATE 2022.
WHEN I SAW IN THERE FROM WHAT THE PERMIT I SAW, I THINK I SAW NOVEMBER.
DO YOU KNOW HOW FAR THAT WAS FROM WHEN THE FIRE ACTUALLY HAPPENED? UH, NO SIR.
I DON'T, I DON'T HAVE THAT INFORMATION.
WE DON'T HAVE A RECORD OF WHEN THE FIRE STARTED TO, WHEN HE STARTED ACTUALLY, UH, NO SIR.
I DON'T HAVE THAT INFORMATION RIGHT NOW.
AND NO UTILITIES ARE ON WATER'S OFF.
AND ELECTRIC, THERE'S NO CONNECTIONS AT THAT POINT.
IT'S NOT CUT FROM THE POLE, BUT THERE IS NO METER.
UM, WHEN I SAW THE WATER, IT WAS, UH, IT WAS LOCKED.
AND I SAW THE GAS METER HAD A CAP ON IT.
AND IT'S ACTUALLY GONE, SO, YES, SIR.
SO HE'S BEEN WORKING ON THIS FROM 2022? MM-HMM.
SO HE HASN'T REALLY BEEN WORKING ON IT THAT LONG.
AND NO OTHER PERMITS? NO OTHER PERMITS, SIR, OTHER THAN THE ROOF, NO OTHER PERMITS IN THE ROOF THAN THE ROOF.
AND A COMMENT IS, WE'RE, WE'RE SORRY TO SEE YOU GO, BUT I'M SURE WE'LL SEE YOU ON A DARK CASE IN HERE.
ANY OTHER QUESTIONS? LEGAL HAS QUESTIONS? YES, SIR.
OFFICER, DID, IT'S MY UNDERSTANDING THAT THE, THE PROPERTY WAS, WAS NOT SECURED.
DID YOU WANT TO AMEND YOUR, UH, DEFINITIONS TO INCLUDE 17 AND 18 ON THE STRUCTURES THAT WERE NOT, UM,
[00:20:01]
UM, UH, SECURED OR SECURED ADEQUATELY? UH, YES, SIR.I WANTED TO MAKE AN AMENDMENT TO ADD, UH, SEVEN DEFINITION 17 AND 18.
'CAUSE THE PROP AND, UM, IT WAS NOT SECURED AT THE TIME OF THE INSPECTIONS.
SO YOU WANNA AMEND TO 17, 18 FOR ALTER? YES, SIR.
UH, I'LL FIRST PRESENTER FOR THE CASE IS, I'M SORRY, I CAN'T PRONOUNCE YOUR NAME.
UH, COULD YOU COME UP HERE PLEASE? YOU ARE THE REPRESENTATIVE? YES.
COULD YOU, IS IT CHRISTINE OR YES, OR CHRISTINE SINI? YES, MA'AM.
UH, COULD YOU STATE YOUR NAME AND ADDRESS FOR THE RECORD, PLEASE? CHRISTINE SINI, 6 6 4 1 STONY KIRK.
STONY KIRK, SAN ANTONIO, TEXAS 7 8 2 4 0.
AND WHAT IS YOUR RELATIONSHIP TO THIS CASE? UM, I AM FLORIAN'S FRIEND.
HE CALLED ME TWO DAYS AGO AND ASKED IF I COULD REPRESENT HIM AND, UM, GOT THE DETAILS OF IT, WENT TO GO LOOK AT THE HOUSE, AND, UH, I'M HERE.
SO YOU ARE NO RELATION LEGAL? NO, NOT LEGAL.
LIKE A NEIGHBOR, BECAUSE HE'S IN NO, I'VE KNOWN HIM FOR ABOUT THREE YEARS.
SO GO AHEAD AND STATE YOUR CASE PLEASE.
UM, SO BASICALLY I'VE TALKED TO FLORIAN.
I WENT TO GO LOOK AT THE PROPERTY AND I SAW A LOT OF WHAT, WHAT WAS SHOWN ABOVE OR, UM, ON THE SLIDES.
AND FIRST THING I DID TELL HIM IS THAT IT'S NOT SECURED.
UM, AND IT'S NOT JUST, UM, PUTTING UP SHEET ROCK, IT'S, IT'S, THERE'S A LOT MORE WORK THAT NEEDS TO BE DONE.
SO REALLY TRYING TO GAUGE HIS COMMITMENT TO FIXING THIS HOME AND WHAT HIS PLANS ARE.
AND HE'S BASICALLY SAID THAT HE WANTS TO REMODEL, BUT BECAUSE HE'S, UH, BEEN IN NEW YORK FOR TRAVEL, IT'S BEEN HARD FOR HIM TO GET BACK.
AND, UH, HE RECENTLY HAD SOMEONE MANAGING THE PROPERTY, BUT I GUESS THAT GOT AWAY FROM HIM.
AND, UM, HE WAS UNDER THE IMPRESSION IT WAS BEING MANAGED AND IT'S NOT.
SO HE'S ASKED IF I WOULD HELP HIM, UM, FIRST OF ALL, COME HERE AND SEE WHAT CAN BE DONE AND IF I CAN HELP HIM MANAGE THE PROJECT GOING FORWARD.
UM, ASIDE FROM THAT, HE HAS PROVIDED THE FUNDS, UM, OF HIS BANK ACCOUNT THAT HE DOES HAVE THE ADEQUATE MONEY TO DO THE REMODELING.
UM, SO HE'S ASKING IF HE CAN GET 180 DAYS TO FIX.
UM, MY RECOMMENDATION TO HIM THOUGH IS TO HAVE THE HOME IMMEDIATELY, UM, CLOSED UP SO THAT NO ONE GOES IN THERE AND TO, TO MAKE IT A LITTLE SAFER UNTIL IT GETS, UH, COMPLETED.
MA'AM, DO, ARE YOU A CONTRACTOR OF SOME KIND? UM, I AM NOT A CONTRACTOR, BUT I'VE HAD MANY, UH, RENTALS, SO I'M VERY FAMILIAR.
ARE ARE YOU LICENSED? ARE YOU A LICENSED CONTRACTOR? I AM NOT A LICENSED CONTRACTOR.
SO I WOULD BE SEEING IT AS A PROJECT MANAGER, NOT AS THE CONTRACTOR, JUST TO MAKE SURE, BASICALLY MAKING SURE THAT THINGS ARE GETTING DONE FOR HIM.
DOES THE OWNER HAVE A CONSTRUCTION COMPANY AVAILABLE? UM, HE'S, LOOK, HE'S GOT A COUPLE OF BIDS.
UM, DAVILA CONSTRUCTION WAS ONE, UM, I KNOW HE WAS CALLING OUT, UH, DAN HERNANDEZ, A COUPLE OTHER CONSTRUCTION COMPANIES.
DID YOU BRING IN THOSE, UH, UH, THE DAVILA CONSTRUCTION? YES, MA'AM.
UH, THEY'RE ON THE, AND I THINK WITH THE TIME THAT WAS PROVIDED, I THINK IT WAS A VERY, UM, IT WASN'T AS DETAILED AS IT COULD HAVE BEEN, BUT BEING THAT WE HAD TO COME HERE THE NEXT DAY, UM, THIS WAS JUST A ROUGH ESTIMATE.
IT COULD, THIS IS PROBABLY ON THE LOWER END.
IT PROBABLY COST MORE TO DO IT BASED ON SOME OF THE FINDINGS ON THE FOUNDATION.
IS THIS THE ONLY BID THAT YOU HAVE? IT'S THE ONLY ONE THAT HE'S GIVEN ME SO FAR, YES.
BECAUSE AGAIN, I THINK, UM, THE CONTACT WAS JUST MADE DAY BEFORE YESTERDAY, SO HE'S ONLY HAD, UM, TWO DAYS TO, TO GET SOME BIDS.
ANY QUESTIONS? UH, MADAM CHAIR? I DO, UH, UH, FOR STAFF.
WELL, I WAS GONNA, NO, I, I WANTED TO KNOW.
YOU DON'T HAVE ANY, UH, ANYTHING HERE WRITTEN DOWN FOR THE FOUNDATION REPAIRS? NO, BECAUSE I DIDN'T KNOW OF THEM.
UM, JUST WHEN HE SPOKE OF IT, THAT'S WHEN I'VE REALIZED THERE WAS SOME, BUT IT'S PIER AND BEAM AND I COULD PROBABLY TELL HIM A, A FEW FOUNDATION COMPANIES, PIER AND BEAMS. IT'S PIER AND BEAM.
SO YOU CAN, THERE'S CRAWLSPACE.
[00:25:03]
YEAH.AND UM, WE DO KNOW I DO HAVE, UM, A LICENSED ELECTRICIAN AND AND WHATNOT THAT I'VE USED FOR MANY YEARS THAT I CAN RECOMMEND TO HIM.
'CAUSE I KNOW THAT ELECTRIC, THE LEC ELECTRICAL PART IS PROBABLY GONNA BE VERY PRICEY AS WELL.
UH, CAN I ASK QUESTIONS NOW? YEAH.
CAN YOU GO BACK TO POWER OF ATTORNEY? SCROLL DOWN TO SIGNATURE.
HAVE YOU SEEN THIS DOCUMENT YET, SIR? I, I, THIS IS LEGAL.
I HAVE, UM, MY CONCERN IN REGARDS TO THE SIGNATURE ON THAT POWER OF ATTORNEY IS FOR THE OWNER OR THE PERSON GIVING THAT POWER, RIGHT? THE PERSON THAT POWER, THAT THE PERSON THAT IS RECEIVING THAT POWER IS IN FRONT OF YOU.
AND ALTHOUGH I DID NOT SEE HER SIGNATURE ON HERE, I I'M SURE SHE COULD ATTEST TO AND HER ACCEPTING THE RESPONSIBILITY AND THAT RESPONSIBILITY THAT'S GONNA ASK IS SHE'S IN FRONT OF US, BUT SHE DIDN'T SIGN IT.
AND SHE'S STILL THE AGENT OR POWER OF ATTORNEY, CORRECT? YES.
I'M GONNA GO AHEAD AND ALLOW IT, BECAUSE AGAIN, THE, THE INTENT IS TO GIVE RIGHT HER THE, THE AUTHORITY TO SPEAK ON THE OWNER'S BEHALF.
I DIDN'T, UH, HE EMAILED THIS TO ME YESTERDAY AND I DIDN'T SEE MY SIGNATURE.
'CAUSE YOU'RE STANDING BEFORE US.
UM, BUT, UM, I'M GONNA GO BACK AND I'M GONNA ASK SOME VERY TECHNICAL PARTS.
AS A GENERAL CONTRACTOR, YOU ONLY HAVE ONE BID THAT'S NOT FOR ANYTHING OTHER THAN WHAT THE CONSTRUCTION, I'M SORRY, SAY AGAIN? YOU ONLY HAVE ONE BID, CORRECT? RIGHT.
AND THAT IS FOR THE REPLACEMENT, BASICALLY JUST FRAMING AND, AND ROOFING.
BUT HE'S NOT LICENSED AIR CONDITIONER? NO, HE'S NOT.
BUT EVERY, EVERYTHING THAT REQUIRES LICENSING WILL HAVE A LICENSED PERSON DOING IT.
SO FOR AC, UM, WE HAVE A RIGHT? YES, WE HAVE.
BUT YOU SAID YOU HAVE AN ELECTRICIAN.
SO HE WENT AND BID ON ALL OF THIS AS THE GENERAL CONTRACTOR, A GENERAL CONTRACTOR, AND HE BASICALLY ESTIMATED 180 DAYS, OR WAS THAT THE OWNER THAT ESTIMATED 180 DAYS? THE OWNER IS ASKING FOR 180 DAYS.
WHAT WAS THE CONTRACTOR ASKING FOR? UH, CONTRACTOR DIDN'T ASK FOR THAT.
NORMALLY THAT'S, YEAH, I DON'T KNOW.
I, I WOULD, I DIDN'T HAVE THAT CONVERSATION WITH THEM.
SO YOU'VE MET THE CRITERIA OF FINANCIAL, YOU'VE MET THE CRITERIA OF BID.
AND WHAT WAS THE OTHER CRITERIA? THERE'S THREE OF 'EM.
THE OFFICER ASK IN MOST OF THESE FOR AN ENGINEER'S REPORT, HAVE YOU HAD ANY ENGINEER GO OUT THERE AND LOOK AT IT? JUST THE CONTRACTOR? I HAVE NOT.
UM, AGAIN, MY POSITION WAS JUST, I WAS ASKED TO REPRESENT HIM TO COME BECAUSE HE'S NOT ABLE TO COME.
SO I WASN'T PRIVY TO WHAT HE HAD DONE IN THE PAST OTHER THAN THIS BID.
UM, I KNEW HE DIDN'T THIS HEARING AND HE COULDN'T COME.
SO I'M, I'M HERE ON HIS BEHALF, SO I DON'T KNOW THAT HE HAS HAD ONE.
SO YOU'RE BASED OFF OF EVERYTHING RIGHT HERE IS YOU'VE GOT THE FUNDS TO DO IT? YES.
THAT'S USUALLY MORE THAN WHAT WE GIVE, BUT SO FAR EVERYTHING YOU'VE MET AND YOU'RE GONNA BE THE PROJECT MANAGER.
RIGHT? I'M JUST GONNA MAKE SURE THAT THINGS ARE GETTING DONE.
MAKE SURE THAT THE DUMPSTER'S OUT THERE, IT'S GETTING CLEANED AND MAKING SURE HELPING HIM OUT.
JUST GET THOSE CONTRACTORS OUT THERE.
UH, YOU, UH, IF WE GIVE YOU SOME TIME TO GO OUT AND GET SOME BIDS MM-HMM.
AND IT REALLY, IT'S GOOD WHAT HE HAS HERE.
I DON'T NEED TO KNOW THAT YOU KNOW, WHAT ON THAT, BUT I MEAN, IF, UH, WE GIVE YOU SOME TIME TO GET SOME OTHER BIDS AND OKAY.
AND REALLY GET A SCOPE OF WORK WITH EVERYTHING, YOU KNOW, I MEAN, FROM THE PUREING BEANS TO YEAH.
UH, THEN, YOU KNOW, YOU COULD PRESENT IT TO US.
AT THAT TIME, YOU KNOW, I'M JUST, YOU KNOW, THANKING WITH HER HERE AND GIVE US A, A REALISTIC, YOU KNOW, THE STANDARD OF WORK THAT YOU'RE GOING TO APPROVE THERE.
SO, AND YOU KNOW, THE SCOPE OF WORK THAT YOU'RE GOING TO BE DOING, THE STANDARDS AND
[00:30:01]
THE ROOF, WHATEVER, THIS AND THAT AND THE CAUSE, YOU KNOW, THEN, YOU KNOW, YOU, YOU, I, I'M, UM, I'M GOING FOR A CONTINUANCE.OKAY? I DON'T KNOW IF THEY'LL VOTE FOR IT, BUT WHAT I'M SAYING IS WE GIVE YOU SOME TIME TO GO AHEAD AND, UH, GET THE SCOPE OF WORK.
YOU KNOW, WHAT THE BID IS GOING TO BE.
NOT IN THE WHOLE NUMBERS, BUT BROKEN DOWN, YOU KNOW? OKAY.
AND, UH, WOULD THAT SUFFICE? I THINK THAT'S FAIR.
I THINK GIVEN THE AMOUNT OF TIME THAT WE'VE ALL HAD, I THINK THAT'S FAIR.
UM, MY QUESTION THOUGH IS YEAH, SINCE, UH, YEAH, SO I DIDN'T REALLY, YEAH, I REALLY DIDN'T KNOW MUCH ABOUT THE FOUNDATION, BUT HE JUST CALLED THAT OUT 'CAUSE I DIDN'T, YOU KNOW.
NOW WHAT I, BUT, SO MY QUESTION IS, THIS IS, SO LET'S SAY THAT WE GET FOUND, I'M GONNA STOP YOU.
I'M GONNA STOP YOU RIGHT THERE.
IT'S IMPROPER FOR YOU TO ASK A QUESTION TO THIS BOARD.
SO, OH, I JUST WANTED CLARIFICATION ON SOMETHING.
BUT IF YOU, IF YOU SEE CLARIFICATION, UH, CLARIFICATION WILL BE GIVEN TO YOU BY THE CODE OFFICER.
FROM THE CODE OFFICER, WE ASK THE QUESTIONS.
AND YOU ASK THE QUESTION AS A CODE OFFICER.
SO, UH, THAT'S AN IDEA THAT I'M THROWING THROUGH THE BOARD HERE, BUT THE COLONEL HERE HAS SOME QUESTIONS FOR YOU.
MR. NELSON HAS SOME QUESTIONS FOR YOU.
BASED ON THE WAY I READ THE QUOTE, IT APPEARS THAT THAT QUOTE IS FOR THE HOUSE.
IS THERE ANY INFORMATION YOU WANNA SHARE WITH US ABOUT THE GARAGE AND THE ACCESSORY STRUCTURE? YOU KNOW, THAT WAS A CONVERSATION THAT I, UH, TRIED TO HAVE WITH JUAN.
AND YESTERDAY WHEN I SAW, I WAS LIKE, ARE YOU JUST DOING, WHAT ARE YOU GONNA DO WITH THOSE STRUCTURES? AND I DON'T THINK HE REALLY ANSWERED THAT QUESTION.
UM, SO MY RECOMMENDATION IMMEDIATELY WAS TO, YES, THIS IS JUST FOR THE FRONT HOUSE.
UM, THERE WILL BE ADDITIONAL COSTS.
BUT, UM, ONE OF THE QUESTIONS I HAD FOR THE GENTLEMAN THAT, UH, FOR JOSH WAS, UM, IS THAT STRUCTURE THAT HAS THE BROKEN CEMENT, IS THAT EVEN, DOES THAT NEED TO GO AWAY? OR, BECAUSE I DON'T KNOW IF THERE'S ANY POINT OF PUTTING MONEY INTO THAT, SO I DON'T KNOW WHAT'S SALVAGEABLE AND WHAT'S NOT.
SO, YES, TO ANSWER YOUR QUESTION, THIS AMOUNT IS ONLY FOR THE MAIN STRUCTURE.
AND DID I UNDERSTAND YOU CORRECTLY TO SAY THAT YOU THOUGHT THAT THE $45,000 MIGHT BE LOW? I THINK BASED ON YES.
IT'S, IT MIGHT BE A LITTLE LOW.
WHAT'S YOUR GUT FEELING ON HOW MUCH IT REALLY SHOULD BE? PROBABLY ABOUT, PROBABLY ABOUT 70.
BUT, UH, EVEN THAT IS, IS I, I MEAN THAT'S WITH DOING A LOT.
I MEAN, I, YEAH, I MEAN, YOU, YOU START OFF WITH THE ISSUE.
UH, THE FACT THAT HE HAS $106,000, IS HE WILLING TO INVEST THE ENTIRE AMOUNT OF $106,000 IN THIS PROPERTY? WELL, I, I, THAT WAS ANOTHER QUESTION I ASKED HIM, UM, BECAUSE I DID SEE THAT, BUT I, YOU KNOW, HE LOOKED AT SOME, THE POTENTIAL TO SELL AFTER HE FIXES IT.
AND I THINK THAT HE'S WILLING, HE TALKED ABOUT NOT KNOWING IF YOU SHOULD GO ALL IN OR WAIT BASED ON WHAT THE MARKET IS RIGHT NOW.
BUT IN THAT AREA, THE MARKETS ARE, THE MARKET IS PRETTY STABLE, AND THAT HOME, AFTER BEING FIXED, COULD BE SOLD FOR ABOUT 200,000.
WE HAD A, A REAL ESTATE AGENT LOOK AT IT AND SAYS THAT IT IS SELLING, THAT THEY'RE, THEY ARE SELLING THERE.
SO I THINK IT, HE WOULDN'T BE AT A LOSS IF HE WENT ALL IN.
I THINK, UH, HE'S ALREADY IN ABOUT 85 RIGHT NOW.
SO HE BOUGHT THE PROPERTY, I BELIEVE FOR 65, PLAYED CLOSING COSTS, AND THEN HE FIXED THE ROOF.
HE, HE ACTUALLY PULLED PERMITS IN NOVEMBER OF 2022.
AND HE ACTUALLY HAS STARTED WORK ON THE STRUCTURE.
UH, AS A RESULT OF HAVING STARTED THE WORK.
HE STILL THINKS HE NEEDS 180 DAYS TO REPAIR IT ALL.
UM, HE, IF YOU WANNA GRANT LESS, THAT'S, I WOULD TELL HIM THAT.
I THINK HE'S WILLING TO WORK WITH WHATEVER YOU GIVE HIM RIGHT NOW, BUT THANK YOU.
WHERE IS THE OWNER? HE'S IN NEW YORK.
WHY IS HE IN NEW YORK? AND HIS PROPERTY IS HERE IN TEXAS WORK AND HE COULDN'T MAKE IT HOME TO, HE HAD ANOTHER, ANOTHER MEETING.
HE'S, I'M NOT SURE WITH WHAT, BUT HE SAID THAT HE HAD A CONFLICT AND HE WOULD NOT BE ABLE TO MAKE BOTH.
AND BECAUSE I WAS HERE, HE ASKED IF I COULD REPRESENT HIM.
NOW I HAVE, I HAVE A LOT OF PROBLEMS BECAUSE YOU HAVE INSUFFICIENT, UM, EVIDENCE THAT WE REQUIRE.
AND YOU KNOW, THIS DAVILA STATEMENT, UH, YOU JUST GOT IT YESTERDAY AND, UH, THE,
[00:35:01]
I'M SURE HE MUST HAVE FAXED YOU THE, HIS BANK STATEMENT OR SOMETHING.UM, I JUST HAVE A LOT OF QUESTIONS.
IT'S GONNA COST MORE THAN $45,000 TO DO THIS HOUSE.
YOU HAVE, I MEAN, THERE'S A LOT OF WORK, THERE'S A LOT OF CRACKS AROUND THE HOUSE.
WE WERE LOOKING AT IT JUST NOW IN THE PICTURES AND, UH, I, I JUST DON'T, I DON'T SEE, YOU KNOW, HOW THIS COULD BE.
AND, AND, AND IF OUR STAFF IS RECOMMENDING DEMOLITION, IT MUST BE IN PRETTY BAD SHAPE.
AND I'M NOT SAYING ANYTHING CAN BE REPAIRED, BUT TO WHAT EXTENT? UH, SO I, UH, I HAVE A PROBLEM WITH THE DOCUMENTS THAT YOU HAVE SENT IN, AND I HAVE A PROBLEM WITH YOU AS THE, UM, REPRESENTATIVE, UH, OR THE, THE, UM, YEAH, PROJECT MANAGER OR WHATEVER, WHATEVER YOU CALL HIM YOURSELF.
YOU KNOW, WE DON'T HAVE ANY, UH, EVIDENCE THAT, LIKE THE SCOPE OF WORK FOR THE COMPLETION OF THE JOB.
YOU DON'T KNOW ANYTHING ABOUT THE TWO, UH, ACCESSORY STRUCTURES.
SO I HAVE, YOU KNOW, I HAVE REAL ISSUES WITH THAT, BUT I'M SORRY.
THAT'S JUST THE WAY I'M LOOKING AT IT.
DO WE HAVE A, UH, A MOTION HERE, MADAM CHAIR? I HAVE A COMPOUND MOTION, I GUESS IS THE WAY TO PUT IT.
UH, FROM, FROM MY OBSERVATION, THE PRIMARY STRUCTURE, UH, CAN BE REPAIRED AND IT CAN BE REPAIRED FOR THE TOTAL AMOUNT THAT HE HAS AVAILABLE.
UH, THE GARAGE DOES NOT NEED SIGNIFICANT REPAIR AND IT CAN BE REPAIRED.
UH, THE ACCESSORY STRUCTURE, THE COST OF REPAIRING THAT IS GOING TO BE JUST TOTALLY UNFEASIBLE, UH, TO DO THAT.
SO WITH THAT, UH, I MOVE THAT THE PRIMARY, UH, BUILDING IS FEASIBLE OF BEING REPAIRED AND THAT THE STRUCTURE BE REPAIRED IN, UH, 90 DAYS THAT IT BE SECURED, UH, THAT ALL PERMITS BE DRAWN OR PULLED BEFORE THE WORK CONTINUES.
THE, UH, AND THE SUBCODES ON THAT PARTICULAR STRUCTURE, UH, IS 5, 7, 8, 12, 15, AND THE GARAGE, UH, CAN BE REPAIRED.
UH, EVEN THOUGH WE DID NOT SEE A COST QUOTE ON IT, I THINK IT STILL FITS WITHIN THE $106,000 THAT IS SHOWN TO US.
AND THE SUB SUBCODES FOR THE GARAGE IS, UH, 1 5, 7, 8, 12, AND 15.
AND LET ME AMEND ALSO, UH, THE SUBCODES FOR THE MAIN STRUCTURE IS 17 AND 18.
SO THE MAIN STRUCTURE'S GONNA BE 5, 7, 8, 12, 15, 17, AND 18.
AND THAT IT BE REPAIRED IN 30 DAYS, EXCUSE ME, 90 DAYS.
AND ALL PERMITS PULLED, SIMILAR SITUATION ON THE GARAGE.
REPAIR MUST BE COMPLETED IN 90 DAYS, PERMITS PULLED AND SECURED.
BUT ON THE ACCESSORY STRUCTURE, WHICH WOULD BE NUMBER THREE, UH, CODES 5, 7, 8, 12, 15, 17, AND 18, UH, THAT BUILDING NEEDS TO BE DEMOLISHED AND IT SHOULD BE DEMOLISHED IN 30 DAYS.
IS THAT ACCESSORY NUMBER TWO? UH, THAT'S ACTUALLY ACCESSORY, IT'S ACCESSORY TWO, UH, FOR ALL INTENT AND PURPOSES.
SO YOU'VE GOT THE MAIN, THE GARAGE AND ACCESSORY NUMBER TWO.
AND LET ME REPEAT AGAIN, THE, THE SUB CODES OF VIOLATION FOR THE MAIN 5, 7, 8, 12, 15, 17, AND 18 FOR THE GARAGE, 1, 5, 7, 8, 12, 15, 17, 18.
AND FOR THE STORAGE BUILDING IS 5 7, 8, 12, 15, 17, AND 18.
ON THE ACCESSORY NUMBER ONE, IT HAS A POUND SIGN THERE.
SO IS THAT, IS THAT A NUMBER ONE OR IS IT JUST NUMBER ONE? ACCESSORY NUMBER ONE, WHICH IS THE GARAGE, RIGHT? SO ONE IS NOT A PART OF THE, OF THE CODES.
UH, JOSHUA ES DANGEROUS PREMISES OFFICER.
IT'S, IT'S A POUND SIGN NUMBER ONE.
SO IT IS ACCESSORY NUMBER ONE, RIGHT, BUT IT'S NOT A PART OF THE CODE? NO, NO MA'AM.
I WITHDRAW NUMBER ONE AS THE CODE.
WE HAVE, LET ME, LET ME ASK A CLARIFICATION.
WHEN YOU'RE TALKING GARAGE, YOU ARE REFERRING TO ACCESSORY NUMBER ONE, CORRECT? I'M SORRY? YES, THAT IS CORRECT.
WE HAVE A MOTION ON THE BOARD FOR 90 DAY REPAIR ORDER.
[00:40:01]
A DEMOLITION ON ACCESSORY NUMBER THREE.UH, I'M SORRY, ACCESSORY NUMBER TWO.
WE HAVE, UH, SECURE THE PROPERTY AND, UM, ALL PERMITS BE PULLED FOR THE MAIN AND THE GARAGE.
AND THE CODES FOR THE MAIN WOULD BE, UH, 5, 7, 8, 12, 15, 17, AND 18.
AND FOR THE GARAGE IT WOULD BE 5, 7, 8, 12, 15, 17, AND 18.
SO DO WE HAVE A, CAN WE GET A ROLL CALL PLEASE? UM, DO WE HAVE, I'M SORRY.
DO WE HAVE DISCUSSION? I HAVE A SECOND.
AND I NEED, AND I WOULD, I WOULD LIKE TO MAKE A, UH, A FRIENDLY AMENDMENT.
UH, TO HAVE CODE FOLLOW UP EVERY 30 DAYS.
FRIENDLY AMENDMENTS FOR CODE TO FOLLOW UP, 30 DAYS IS ACCEPTABLE.
WE HAVE A FRIENDLY AMENDMENT FOR CODE TO FOLLOW UP EVERY 30 DAYS.
I THINK, UH, BY VOTING FOR THIS MOTION, IT, UH, WILL GIVE TIME TO THE PARTIES, BUT ALSO THE AREA OF THE SUBDIVISION WHERE IT'S LOCATED, IT'S, YOU KNOW, A PRIORITY ONE REALLY FOR MONEY.
IT WILL BRING WHAT THE PROJECT OFFICER STATED FOR THE REAL ESTATE IN THE TWO HUNDREDS.
SO IT'S GOOD THAT WE CAN SAVE A HOME AND HAVE 'EM LIVE THERE.
ARE WE HAVING THE ORDER FOR IT TO BE SECURED? YEAH.
COULD WE GO TO ROLL CALL PLEASE? MR. ZUNIGA? YES.
MOTION PASSES WITH THE VOTE OF FOUR TO ZERO.
YOU ONLY HAVE 90 DAYS, MA'AM? OH YES.
OUR NEXT, UH, SO ADMINISTRATOR, WE HAVE ADMINISTRATIVE ITEMS, NO, UH, NO ADMINISTRATIVE ITEMS, ADMINISTRATIVE ITEM.
UH, JUDY HAS BEEN TRYING, JUDY HAS BEEN TRYING TO GET IN TOUCH WITH MR. GUPTA FOR A WELLNESS CHECK AND SHE HAS NOT.
SO I SUGGESTED, OR WE TALKED ABOUT SENDING A LETTER TO HIS HOUSE, UM, VIA, UM, WHAT, WHAT IS IT? THE MAIL WHEN YOU SIGN FOR IT? REGISTERED? YEAH.
REGISTERED, YEAH, IT'S REGISTERED, CERTIFIED MAIL FOR A WELLNESS CHECK BECAUSE USUALLY HE'S HERE AND WE DON'T, WE HAVEN'T HEARD ANYTHING AND WE DON'T KNOW ANYTHING.
AND HE HASN'T BEEN HERE FOR SEVERAL MEETINGS NOW.
SO I'M JUST CONCERNED ABOUT HIS HEALTH AND UH, I WOULD LIKE FOR, UM, MANAGEMENT TO APPROVE THAT AND JUDY CAN WRITE IT UP AND I WILL SIGN IT.
IS THAT OKAY WITH YOU LEGAL? YES.
IS THERE ANYTHING ELSE THAT WE NEED TO TALK ABOUT? WE CAN'T SEND A DART TEAM OVER TO CHECK
I'M JUDY KRUM DEVELOPMENT SERVICES.
JUST WANTED TO MAKE NOTE THAT ON AUGUST 31ST, 2023, MR. ANDIS AND MR. NELSON WERE BOTH REAPPOINTED, UM, TO THE B S B.
ALSO, WE HAVE ONE NEW APPOINTMENT FOR COUNCIL DISTRICT SEVEN.
PAUL HERNANDEZ WOULD BE SITTING ON PANEL A AND HE WAS ALSO APPOINTED ON AUGUST 31ST, 2023.
THIS LEAVES JUST ONE VACANCY, WHICH IS THE AT LARGE POSITION.
WHATEVER HAPPENED TO JOEL, I HEARD HE WAS GONNA BE REAPPOINTED FROM 10.
HE IS APPOINTED, UM, HE WAS APPOINTED ON AUGUST 3RD AND WILL BE REACHING OUT TO HIM TO SEE WHEN HE'LL BE ATTENDING HIS FIRST HEARING.
MAKE SURE HE SIGNED THE OATH OF OFFICE AND WE'LL GET HIM STARTED.
SO HE HASN'T BEEN, BEEN IFIED YET,
IS HE GONNA HAVE TO RETAKE TRAINING OR HE'S ALREADY TRAINED BECAUSE THAT'LL BE ANOTHER HOLDUP, IF THAT'S CORRECT.
JUST SO YOU KNOW, UM, I TAKE DIRECTION FROM JUDY.
SO IF JUDY SAYS THAT HE NEEDS TO BE RETRAINED, HE WILL BE RETRAINED.
IF JUDY SAYS HE DOES NOT, THAT I, I WOULD URGE YOU TO DIRECT THAT QUESTION TO TO B S B, NOT LEGAL
OH, WELL I'M JUST ASKING IT 'CAUSE I'M NOT SURE WHO I, IS HE HE'S REQUIRED BECAUSE HE LEFT THE BOARD TO BE RETRAINED OR IS IT GONNA BE YES.
WE'LL DO A TRAINING COURSE FOR MR. HERNANDEZ
[00:45:01]
SINCE HE IS A NEW MEMBER.WE'LL ASK MR. SOLIS TO JOIN THAT TRAINING AS WELL AS A REFRESHER REFRESH.
UH, DO Y'ALL WANT TO SPEAK OR YOU SIGN UP TO SPEAK? WE, WE WERE OBSERVERS.
WE ARE FROM THE LANGUAGE ACCESS OFFICE.
WHAT WE CAME HERE JUST TO SPEAK BECAUSE BECAUSE WE'RE RECORDING AND BROADCASTING, YOU'LL HAVE TO STEP UP.
SO JUST SO YOU GUYS KNOW, THEY'RE FROM THE, AND CORRECT ME IF I'M WRONG, THEY'RE FROM, UM, THE LANGUAGE ACCESS OFFICE WHERE WE CAN EXPAND, UM, THESE TYPE OF HEARINGS, UM, UH, FOR OTHER PERSONS OTHER THAN JUST SPANISH SPEAKING.
WE DON'T WANNA LIMIT IT TO JUST THE SPANISH SPEAKING.
I'M THE MANAGER OF THE LANGUAGE ACCESS OFFICE.
I, NOT THIS BOARD, BUT I HEARD ONE OF THE OTHER BOARDS RECENTLY HAD, UM, A, UH, A MANDARIN SPEAKER AND THE TEAM DID A WONDERFUL JOB OF INCLUDING THEM.
UM, AND THEN YOU'VE GOT GREAT RESOURCES WITH YOUR INTERPRETERS IN THE BACK.
UM, SO IF WE JUST WANNA MAKE SURE THAT WE'RE SUPPORTING YOU ALL AND THE NEEDS.
AND FOR THE RECORD, PLEASE, PLEASE STATE YOUR NAME AND YOUR ADDRESS PLEASE.
YEAH, EVERYTHING ELSE I'LL KEEP, UH, OFF RECORD.
EMILY, LET ME ASK YOU SOMETHING.
COULD WE, THAT, THAT WAS HERE AS WELL.
WE, I THINK IT WAS MANDARIN THAT THE PERSON WAS, THAT WAS HERE.
ARE, ARE, WHAT LANGUAGES ARE YOU INTERPRETERS HAVE? SO WE JUST RECENTLY DID A NEW INTERPRETATION CONTRACT.
UM, SO WE HAVE OUR SPANISH INTERPRETATION OF COURSE, AND THEN WE'VE EXPANDED IT AND SPECIFICALLY LISTED OUR TOP LANGUAGES, BUT ALSO, UM, THE CONTRACTORS A AVAILABLE TO PROVIDE OTHER LANGUAGES AS WELL.
UM, I CAN TRY TO LIST OUR TOP LANGUAGES.
UM, SO, UH, MANDARIN, UM, JAPANESE, KOREAN, TAGALOG, UH, GURA, UM, PASHTO AND ARABIC.
AMERICAN, CAN I ASK? I DON'T, I CAN'T.
THE MANDARIN THAT WE HAD IN HERE WAS A LAST MINUTE.
ARE YOU GUYS AVAILABLE FOR LAST MINUTE TYPE OF, WHEN THEY COME IN HERE AND WE FIND OUT THAT THEY, ARE YOU GUYS AVAILABLE FOR THAT OR IT'S, IT'S VERY CHALLENGING.
UM, SO THEY, WE HAVE AN ON-DEMAND PHONE INTERPRETATION SERVICE, BUT REALLY IT WOULDN'T FILL THE NEEDS, UM, FOR THIS BOARD TO BE ABLE TO, UH, SHARE THE MESSAGE OF WHAT YOU'RE SAYING, WHAT THEY WANNA SAY AND DO THAT EFFECTIVELY.
I WOULDN'T RECOMMEND USING IT, UM, TO BE ABLE TO SCHEDULE AN INTERPRETER TO COME IN.
THEY HAVE DONE SOME AMAZING WORK FOR US AND BEING ABLE TO SEND FOLKS IN ON SHORT NOTICE, BUT WE DO LIKE AT THE MINIMUM OF AN HOUR.
AND THEN FOR LANGUAGES WHERE THEY DON'T HAVE A LARGE POOL OF INTERPRETER, UH, IT SOMETIMES THEY WON'T BE ABLE TO MEET THAT NEED.
UM, IN SITUATIONS LIKE THAT, IF WE DON'T HAVE, UM, THE ABILITY TO PROVIDE QUALITY SERVICES, MY RECOMMENDATION WOULD BE TO RESCHEDULE THEM, UM, FOR A TIME WHEN WE CAN HAVE AN INTERPRETER.
WELL, THAT, THAT'S GOOD TO KNOW.
YEAH, BECAUSE WE WERE LOOKING AT THAT WHEN HE IS LIKE, WELL, WE ONLY HAVE, BUT I APPRECIATE AND THANK YOU GUYS FOR SITTING IN.
WE HAD A, WE HAD A CASE FROM THE B O A AND I, YOU KNOW, ME, I GOT ON MANAGEMENT AND THE GUY SPOKE CHINESE MM-HMM.
YOU KNOW, I, YOU KNOW, I I WAS LIKE I SAID, THERE, THERE'S MORE THAN TWO LANGUAGES IN THIS WORLD OF MORE THAN ONE.
AND SO NOW YOU, I GUESS YOU ALL CAN DO THE B O A ALSO.
UM, THAT'S THE DIFFERENT BOARDS AND THANK YOU FOR YOUR ADVOCACY.
WE'LL DEFINITELY BE, UH, WE'LL REACH OUT TO THEM.
THAT, I THINK THAT'S WONDERFUL.
I DON'T KNOW WHY SAN ANTONIO HAS TO BE THE EXCEPTION AND NOT THE NORM.
I, I, I DON'T UNDERSTAND THAT WE HAVE SO MANY LANGUAGES JUST IN THIS ONE TOWN MM-HMM.
I I WILL ADD THAT I FEEL LIKE SAN, I'M NEW TO SAN ANTONIO AND I CAME HERE BECAUSE I FELT LIKE IT WAS VERY EXCEPTIONAL IN THAT THEY DECIDED TO CREATE A LANGUAGE ACCESS OFFICE, WHICH NOT ALL CITIES HAVE.
UM, SO IT'S A, IT'S A GREAT CITY FOR THAT AND THEY'RE DEFINITELY PUTTING, UM, AN INVESTMENT INTO THIS WORK.
ARE YOU OPEN INTO BUSINESSES AS WELL? UM, SO IT'S AN INTERNAL SERVICE.
UH, SO WE CAN'T EXTEND THE INTERPRETATION SERVICES OR THE TRANSLATION SERVICES, UM, OUTSIDE OF THAT.
UM, BUT WE'RE LIKE, OF COURSE AVAILABLE TO SHARE BEST PRACTICES.
THANK YOU ALL VERY MUCH FOR DOING A GREAT JOB FOR US.
WELL BY UNANIMOUS, UH, DECISION HERE WE ARE ADJOURNED.
