[ Briefing and Possible Action on the following items ]
STAFF REPORTS? GOOD MORNING.MY NAME IS JENNY RAMIREZ, CODE ENFORCEMENT MANAGER.
I HAVE A COUPLE OF ITEMS TO READ INTO THE RECORD IF I MAY PROCEED.
UH, COUPLE OF EMERGENCY DEMOLITIONS.
FIRST LOCATION IS LOCATED AT FIVE 16 POTOMAC IN COUNCIL DISTRICT TWO.
THIS PROPERTY WAS DEMOLISHED, UM, DUE TO A FIRE THAT OCCURRED ON FEBRUARY 24TH, 2024.
THE PROPERTY WAS ACTUALLY DEMOLISHED ON MARCH THE EIGHTH OF 2024.
PURSUANT TO CHAPTER SIX DASH 1 75.
NO FURTHER ACTION IS NEEDED BY THE BOARD AT THIS TIME.
THIS WAS THE MAIN STRUCTURE ON THE PROPERTY.
UM, WE DO HAVE BEFORE AND AFTER PHOTOS.
THE NEXT PROPERTY, THE STRUCTURE LOCATED AT 7 20 17 29 NORTH MONDOR LOCATED IN COUNCIL DISTRICT ONE WAS DEMOLISHED DUE TO A FIRE THAT DID OCCUR ON MARCH THE 12TH OF 2024.
UH, THE PROPERTY WAS ACTUALLY DEMOLISHED ON MARCH THE 13TH OF 2024 PURSUANT TO CHAPTER SIX DASH 1 75.
NO FURTHER ACTION NEEDED BY THE BOARD AT THIS TIME.
THIS WAS THE MAIN IN THE ACCESSORY STRUCTURE ON THE PROPERTY, AND THERE ARE BEFORE AND AFTER PHOTOS AS WELL.
THAT DOES CONCLUDE MY REPORT, UNLESS THERE'S ANY QUESTIONS? NO, NO QUESTIONS.
WE MAY BEGIN WITH THE, UH, HEARING ITEMS, JUDGE TAPIA,
[ Public Comments ]
JUDY KRUM DEVELOPMENT[00:10:01]
SERVICES.JUST A REMINDER, WE DO HAVE ONE PUBLIC COMMENT TO BE READ INTO THE RECORD BEFORE WE BEGIN.
MR. ALBERT CAMPBELL, IF YOU CAN PLEASE APPROACH THE PA THE PODIUM.
STATE YOUR NAME AND ADDRESS FOR THE RECORD.
UM, IS IS YOUR MIC ON? I'M, I'M SORRY ABOUT THAT.
SO MY NAME IS ALBERT CAMPBELL AND I'M, I'M A LICENSED MINISTER.
I HAVE A NONPROFIT ORGANIZATION, WHICH IS CALLED, IT'S, UH, IT'S CALLED BIBLE TRUTH MINISTRIES.
SO, UH, I'M YOUR ADDRESS, SIR.
OH, MY ADDRESS IS, UH, I LIVE AT, AT 1808 HI, SAN ANTONIO, TEXAS, WHICH IS THE SUN, SUN, SUNSHINE ESTATES, AND MOST PEOPLE DON'T EVEN KNOW ABOUT THAT.
SO, UM, I'M HERE TO REGARDS TO SPEED IN GENERAL TO ALL PROPERTIES AND HOW IT'S DONE AND HOW IT VIOLATES PEOPLE'S EQUAL PROTECTION UNDER THE 14TH AMENDMENT AND ALSO VIOLATES THE EIGHTH AMENDMENT BECAUSE THIS IS A EXCESS PUNISHMENT AND ALSO AND FINES BECAUSE THE OWNER GETS CHARGED FOR THE DEMOLITION.
SO THE CITY OF TEXAS, UH, SAN ANTONIO, IT'S ACTUALLY CREATING BECAUSE WE, THE PEOPLE HAD PUT GOOD FAITH IN THE CITY OF SAN ANTONIO, TEXAS, WHICH CLEARLY SHOWED THAT IT DOES NOT EXIST BECAUSE THIS PROCESS SHOWS THAT THERE WAS NOT A TWO YEAR PROCESS, WHICH IS DONE.
UM, AND STATE OF THAT ONE OF THESE HOMES WAS DARTED.
AND, AND THIS PROCESS WAS STARTED IN OCTOBER OF 2023, AND THE SEARCH WARRANT WAS DONE ON MARCH 26TH.
THIS CLEARLY SHOWED THAT THIS IS DESTROYING PEOPLE'S LIVES AND WE RECREATING HOMELESSNESS, MENTAL ILLNESS, POVERTY, AND TO THIS RACISM.
AND CLEARLY IT'S AN ECONOMIC DISTRESS FOR EVERYBODY.
RIGHT? SO, YOU KNOW, UM, AND NONE OF THESE PEOPLE, THESE HOMEOWNERS, THEY DON'T EVEN GET A COPY OF THE TEXAS LAWN O OWNER'S BILL OF RIGHTS.
AND THIS IS UNDER CHAPTER 21, SECTION 4 0 2 0.031, WHICH, UH, A ABLES TO GIVE THEM A PROCESS OF BEING THE HOME BEING CONDEMNED.
NOW, IT CLEARLY SHOWS THAT A LOT OF THESE CODES ARE NOT REALLY LAW UNDER SUPREME COURT DECISION.
YOU KNOW, COMMON LAW IS THE REAL LAW, THE SUPREME COURT OF THE LAND, THE CODES, RULES AND REGULATIONS, UH, POLICIES AND STATUTES ARE NOT LAW.
YOU MIGHT SEE CASE RAY 61 WN UH, 2D 2 61 US SUPREME COURT DECISION.
ALL COURTS AND RULES AND REGULATIONS ARE FOR GOVERNMENT AUTHORITIES ONLY, NOT FOR NOT FOR HUMAN CR SLASH CREATORS IN ACCORDANCE WITH GOD'S LAW.
ALL COURTS AND RULES AND REGULATIONS ARE UNCONSTITUTIONAL AND A LACK OF DUE PROCESS OF LAW.
UH, YOU CAN SEE COURT CASE RODRIGUEZ VERSUS RAY DOLIN, US DEPARTMENT OF LABOR 7 69 F 2D, UH, ONE TH UH, 1 3 4 4 AND 1 3 4 4 8.
AND THIS CASE WAS DONE IN 1980 1.1.
NOW, THIS CAN ALL ACTIONS DO BY THE BSB USING DARK ZIPPING, WHAT REALLY PORTRAYS THE PRE CRIMINALLY UNJUST AND LACK OF VIRTUE OF A CERTAIN CLASS OF CITIZENS OF ANY RACE, COLOR, CREED, OR RELIGION, OR, WHICH EXPOSES THE CITIZEN OF ANY RACE, CREED, OR RELIGION TO CONTEMPT THE RACIALLY OBLIGATION, WHICH IS A PROTECTIVE OF BREACH OF THEIR PEACE OF MIND, LIBERTY AND JUSTICE OF BEING FREE MEN UNDER THE CONSTITUTION OF THE UNITED STATES.
YOU WILL HAVE AN OPPORTUNITY TO SPEAK AGAIN, BUT YOUR THREE MINUTES, UH, ARE, ARE UP IN REGARDS TO THE EMERGENCY DEMOLITIONS.
[00:15:03]
DO WE, UH, HAVE AN OPPORTUNITY TO QUESTION OR REBUT? NO, WE DON'T.NO, I DON'T, I DON'T, I DON'T, UM, BELIEVE THAT WOULD BE PROPER.
HE DOES HAVE THE RIGHT TO, UH, SPEAK HIS MIND IN REGARDS TO THE EMERGENCY DEMOLITIONS, IF HE WANTS TO SPEAK IN REGARDS TO SOME OF THE OTHER PROPERTIES.
UM, SO THAT'S, IT IS, IT IS WHAT IT IS.
HE HAS THE RIGHT, IT'S A PUBLIC MEETING, SO, UM, HE HAS THAT RIGHT.
IT'S JUST, UH, JUST A REMINDER THAT PERSONS THAT ARE SPEAKING, UM, ARE GONNA HAVE THREE MINUTES TO SPEAK UNLESS, UH, THEY ARE THE LEGAL REP REPRESENTATIVES OF THE OWNER OR THE ACTUAL OWNERS OF THE PROPERTY.
MAY I, UH, REITERATE OUR REMISSION, AT LEAST IN, IN A SHORT STATEMENT.
I, I, WE'RE, WE'RE STREAMED AND RECORDED, SO I, I, I, I BELIEVE EVERYBODY HAS IT.
I DON'T, I DON'T THINK THAT WOULD BE NECESSARY.
WE CAN JUST MOVE ON TO THE FIRST PROPERTY.
MY NAME IS CRYSTAL TOWN, DANGEROUS PREMISE OFFICER FOR THE CITY OF SAN ANTONIO DEVELOPMENT SERVICES DEPARTMENT.
THE STRUCTURES BEING PRESENTED TODAY ARE LOCATED AT 7 1 3 5 TIMBER CREEK DRIVE, WITH A RECOMMENDATION FOR DEMOLITION IN ACCORDANCE WITH CITY CODE ARTICLE EIGHT, CHAPTER SIX.
THIS IS THE FIRST TIME 7 1 3 5 TIMBER CREEK DRIVE IS BEING PRESENTED BEFORE THE BOARD.
PLEASE NOTE ON JANUARY 16TH, 2024, A DANGEROUS ASSESSMENT RESPONSE TEAM INSPECTION WAS CONDUCTED.
THE INSPECTION IS A COLLABORATED INSPECTION WITH A VARIETY OF CITY DEPARTMENTS THAT INCLUDED THE SAN ANTONIO POLICE DEPARTMENT.
THE LEGAL DESCRIPTION IS NCB 1 5 3 6 9 BLOCK 0 6 4, LOT 29, LOCATED IN CITY COUNCIL DISTRICT SIX.
THE OWNER ON RECORD IS ANO DELINO AND CEROS ERICA, WITH A MAILING ADDRESS OF 4 0 3 OTTER DRIVE, SAN ANTONIO, TEXAS 7 8 2 2 7.
SAN ANTONIO POLICE OFFICER MAURICE IS HERE TO SPEAK ON BEHALF OF THE PROPERTY.
THE PROPERTY OWNER IS NOT PRESENT.
DOES THE BOARD WISH TO CONTINUE? YES.
THE OFFICE OF HISTORIC PRESERVATION HAS CONFIRMED ON MARCH 4TH, 2024.
THE PROPERTY IS NOT ELIGIBLE FOR HISTORIC DESERT FOR HISTORIC DESIGNATION.
THE FIRST INSPECTION REGARDING 7 1 3 5 TIMBER CREEK DRIVE WAS CONDUCTED ON FEBRUARY 22ND, 2021.
THE ORIGINAL NOTICE WAS MAILED ON FEBRUARY 25TH, 2021, AND THE CERTIFIED RECEIPT WAS RETURNED, CLAIMED ON MARCH 1ST, 2021 ON MARCH 5TH, 20 MARCH 25TH, 2024.

THE NOTICE FOR THE BSB HEARING WAS MAILED TO DELINO, ANO AND ERICA CIS, UH, EXCUSE ME, CISO, AND THE CERTIFIED RECEIPT WAS RETURNED, CLAIMED ON MARCH 23RD, 2024 ON MARCH 27TH, 2024.
AND THE ADMINISTRATIVE WARRANT WAS EXECUTED TO OBTAIN PHOTOGRAPHS OF THE STRUCTURE TO PRESENT BEFORE BSB.
NO SCOPE OF WORK OR FINANCIAL PROOF OR LETTER OF CREDIT OR ENGINEER'S REPORT HAS BEEN PROVIDED.
A RESIDENTIAL REPAIR PERMIT WAS OBTAINED ON MARCH 15TH, 2021, AND IS NOW AN ACTIVE AND NO WORK WAS COMPLETED.
THIS IS THE FRONT ELEVATION OF THE STRUCTURE.
THE ROOF SYSTEM IS IN DILAPIDATED CONDITION.
THE SHINGLES ARE WORN ON THE RIGHT PORTION OF THE ROOF.
THERE IS A TARP COVERING THE ROOF SYSTEM ON THE RIGHT PORTION OF THE STRUCTURE.
THERE WAS A FIRE THAT HAPPENED AROUND FEBRUARY OF 2021.
THE EXACT DATE IS UNKNOWN TO OUR RECORDS, UM, BUT THERE WAS A FIRE THAT OCCURRED AROUND THAT TIMEFRAME.
THIS IS THE RIGHT ELEVATION OF THE STRUCTURE.
AGAIN, THIS IS THE PORTION THAT HAD SOME FIRE DAMAGE BACK IN 2021.
THEY'VE PUT MULTIPLE DIFFERENT MATERIALS, UM, ON THE ELEVATION TO COVER THE, THE STUDS.
UM, AND THERE ARE IS TARP DETACHING FROM THE STRUCTURE.
[00:20:03]
THIS IS THE LEFT ELEVATION.THE TRANSIT SIDING IS DETACHING OR MISSING IN AREAS OF THIS ELEVATION.
THIS IS THE REAR ELEVATION OF THE STRUCTURE.
HERE'S A GOOD VIEW OF THE ROOF SYSTEM, AGAIN WITH A TARP COVERING IT, AND THE SHINGLES ARE WORN OR MISSING ON THE, ON THE OTHER PORTION.
HERE'S A CLOSER VIEW OF THE, THE WALL.
THERE ARE TRANSIT SIDING, PIECES MISSING, AND THE WOOD MEMBERS ARE EXPOSED AND ROTTED.
THIS IS THE BACK PORCH AREA ON THE DAY OF THE DART.
UM, THE EXTENSION CORDS WERE BEING RUN FROM THE INTERIOR OF THE STRUCTURE TO THE REAR, UM, UH, CONNECTED TO GENERATORS.
THE GENERATORS HAVE NOW BEEN REMOVED.
UM, THERE IS NO POWER GOING TO THE STRUCTURE AS OF TODAY.
UM, BUT THERE WERE CORDS ON THE DAY OF THE DART.
THIS IS GOING INTO THE FRONT DOOR OF THE STRUCTURE.
THERE IS SOME CHARRING TO THE SHEET ROCK, BUT MOSTLY, UM, SOMEBODY HAS PLACED PLASTIC OVER ALL OF THE WALLS AND CEILING TO KEEP WATER FROM GOING INSIDE.
THIS IS THE, THE BEDROOM TO THE LEFT.
THERE'S SO MANY ITEMS IN THE BEDROOM THAT I WAS NOT ABLE TO GAIN ACCESS.
SO THIS IS JUST FROM THE DOORWAY.
SO THIS IS GOING TO THE RIGHT, THIS IS THAT RIGHT PORTION OF THE STRUCTURE THAT HAD DAMAGE.
AND THERE'S EXPOSED STUDS, UH, CEILING JOISTS AND RAFTERS.
THERE IS A LARGE GAP BETWEEN THE WALL AND ROOF SYSTEM, UM, WHERE THE ELEMENTS CAN COME INSIDE.
AND ON THIS DAY, IT WAS RAINING, SO RAIN WAS COMING THROUGH.
HERE'S THE BACK RIGHT PORTION OF THAT STRUCTURE.
AGAIN, THE WALL AND ROOF SYSTEM DO HAVE A LARGE GAP, AND SO THE ELEMENTS ARE COMING IN.
SO THERE WAS RAIN COMING THROUGH THE GAPS FROM THE SHEATH, FROM THE SHEATHING AND DECKING AS WELL.
SO THIS IS A BATHROOM AREA, UM, THAT DOES HAVE SOME WATER DAMAGE AND A LARGE AMOUNT OF ITEMS. SO I WASN'T ABLE TO MOVE AROUND IN THIS AREA AS WELL.
AND THERE IS SEVERE WATER DAMAGE.
AGAIN, THIS IS WHERE MOSTLY ALL OF THE PLASTIC HAS BEEN PLACED OVER THE WALL AND CEILING TO KEEP THE COLD.
OR OTHER ELEMENTS FROM COMING IN THERE IS TO THE RIGHT PORTION OF THE PHOTO, A LARGE POWER CORD WITH, UM, EXTENSION CORDS RUNNING FROM IT.
AGAIN, THERE IS NO POWER ANYMORE, BUT THE DAY OF THE DART, THEY WERE UTILIZING GENERATORS TO BRING POWER TO THE STRUCTURE.
AND HERE'S A CLOSER VIEW TO SHOW ALL OF THE EXTENSION CORDS THAT WERE BEING UTILIZED.
AGAIN, JUST A LARGE AMOUNT OF ITEMS IN THE STRUCTURE, SO IT IS VERY HARD TO MANEUVER AROUND.
SO IN CASE OF PANIC, YOU WOULD NOT BE ABLE TO GET OUT SAFELY.
THERE IS DAMAGE TO THE CEILING.
THEY HAVE PLACED PLYWOOD OVER WHAT DAMAGE HAS BEEN CAUSED.
AGAIN, LARGE AMOUNT OF ITEMS THROUGHOUT THE, UH, GARAGE DOOR IS BEHIND THAT DOOR.
UNFORTUNATELY, I WAS NOT ABLE TO GAIN ACCESS TO THE GARAGE ON THIS DATE OF THE INSPECTION.
UM, DUE TO ALL THE ITEMS. SO THIS IS THE RV CAMPER THAT WAS ALSO BEING UTILIZED AS A STRUCTURE FOR SOMEONE TO LIVE IN.
THE INTERIOR, AGAIN, HAS JUST A LARGE AMOUNT OF ITEMS AND TRASH THROUGHOUT.
UM, ELEMENTS WERE COMING THROUGH.
THE SHOWER WAS BEING UTILIZED AT ONE POINT.
YOU CAN SEE THERE IS SOAP AND, AND OTHER ITEMS IN THERE TO SHOW SIGNS THAT IT WAS BEING USED.
AND THE FLOOR SYSTEM IS ROTTED RIGHT BEF IN FRONT OF THE SHOWER.
AND THE BACK PORTION OF THE CAMPER DOES SHOW THAT THIS WAS BEING UTILIZED AS, AS RESIDENTS FOR SOMEONE AT ONE POINT.
SO THIS IS THE DAY OF THE DART.
THE STRUCTURE LOOKS EXACTLY THE SAME.
NO, NO REPAIRS HAVE BEEN MADE.
THE, THE ROOF SYSTEM IS STILL THE SAME.
THE TARP IS IN THE SAME LOCATION, AND THE SHINGLES STILL REMAIN IN THE SAME CONDITION.
THE RIGHT ELEVATION, AGAIN, REMAINS IN THE SAME CONDITION.
UM, DIFFERENT MATERIALS COVERING THE WALL SYSTEM.
UM, THE TARP IS DETACHING FROM THE STRUCTURE.
THIS IS THE REAR ELEVATION AGAIN.
UM, THE DAY OF THE DART, WE WERE ABLE TO ABATE THE PROPERTY.
THE COST OF THE ABATEMENT WAS OVER $1,400 ON THAT DAY.
SO THIS IS THAT RIGHT PORTION OF THE STRUCTURE.
IT STILL REMAINS IN THE SAME CONDITION, STILL FILLED WITH ITEMS. UM, NO REPAIRS HAVE BEEN MADE.
THE ELEMENTS ARE STILL COMING THROUGH.
[00:25:01]
RIGHT PORTION OF THE STRUCTURE, AGAIN, IT REMAINS IN THE SAME CONDITION.UM, I WAS ABLE TO ACCESS IT ON THE DAY OF THE DART.
SO AGAIN, LARGE AMOUNT OF ITEMS FILLED.
SO IT IS A FIRE HAZARD WITH A LARGE AMOUNT OF ITEMS YOU WOULDN'T BE ABLE TO GET OUT OR OUR FIRST RESPONDERS TO GET IN.
SO ALSO THE DAY OF THE DART, WE FOUND A PIG THAT WAS BEING STORED IN THAT BATHROOM THAT WAS HARD TO GET IN AND OUT OF.
UM, AND A CS DID TAKE THE PIG THAT DAY.
SO HERE'S A PHOTO OF A CS, UH, TRYING TO GET THE PIG TO THE TRAILER.
THE STRUCTURES LOCATED AT 7 1 3 5 TIMBER CREEK DRIVE ARE IN VIOLATION OF CITY CODE ARTICLE EIGHT, CHAPTER 6, 1 56, SUBSECTIONS 1, 2, 5, 8, 11, 12, AND 15 FOR THE MAIN STRUCTURE IN SUBSECTIONS 1, 2, 8, 11, 12, 15, 17, AND 18.
FOR THE ACCESSORY STRUCTURE, WHICH ANY BUILDING OR STRUCTURE WHICH HAS ANY OR ALL OF THE CONDITIONS OR DEFECTS HEREINAFTER DESCRIBED, SHALL BE DEEMED TO BE A DANGEROUS BUILDING IN A HAZARD OF PUBLIC HEALTH, SAFETY, AND WELFARE.
PROVIDED THAT SUCH CONDITIONS OF DEFECTS OF DILAPIDATION, SUBSTANDARD, OR IN FITNESS FOR HUMAN HABITATION POSE A THREAT OR POTENTIAL THREAT TO LIFE, HEALTH, PROPERTY, OR HUMAN SAFETY STAFF RECOMMENDS DEMOLITION.
THAT CONCLUDES MY PRESENTATION OF 7 1 3 5 TIMBER CREEK DRIVE.
ANY QUESTIONS? UM, MR. CHAIR, THIS IS FRED ANDIS.
UM, YOU HAVE YOUR NOTES PRESENT, CORRECT? YES.
FROM 2 22 21 ALL THE WAY TO THE WHERE WE'RE HERE TODAY.
ON 2 21, WHEN THIS CASE WAS OPENED, YOU GO DOWN TO 2 21, UH, 4 6 2 21.
IT REFERENCES PERMITS THAT ARE ON FILE.
THE STATUS OF THOSE PERMITS, THEY ARE NOT, BUT BY THE PICTURES THAT YOU SHOWED UP TO 2 24, NOTHING'S BEEN DONE WITH THE PERMITS, CORRECT? THAT IS CORRECT.
AND MATTER OF FACT, SOME OF THE WORK THAT WAS ACTUALLY STARTING TO BE DONE WASN'T EVEN INCLUDED IN THE SCOPE OF WORK FOR THE ORIGINAL PERMIT OBTAINED ANYWAY, SO THEY DIDN'T HAVE THE PERMITS FOR THAT, BUT THEY HAD PULLED PERMITS.
AND IT STILL WAS NOT LIKE THE ROOF.
IT WAS NOT, IT, IT DID SAY ROOF, BUT IT WASN'T TO REPLACE THE ROOF SYSTEM.
IT WAS FOR ROOF REPAIR, WHICH ARE TWO DIFFERENT.
SO THEY DIDN'T EVEN HAVE SEEN THE CORRECT PERMIT TO BEGIN WITH.
SO THEN WE GET INTO 2 24, THE DART.
IN THE DART, IT SAYS THAT YOU HAD NOTICE OF VACATE PENDING, RIGHT? MM-HMM.
SO YOU DIDN'T DELIVER ANOTHER NOTICE OF VACATE.
SO THE DAY OF THE DART, UM, THE PROPERTY OWNER WAS NOT THERE.
THE, THE INDIVIDUAL THAT WAS THERE THE DAY OF THE DART WAS A, WAS A FEMALE WHO WAS UNKNOWN AT THE TIME.
UH, SHE WAS ARRESTED FOR SOME OTHER ISSUES WITH THE LAW.
UM, I DIDN'T SPEAK TO THE ACTUAL PROPERTY OWNER UNTIL I WENT TO THE PROPERTY TO POST THE NOTICE TO VACATE, AND HE JUST HAPPENED TO BE THERE.
WHICH IS THE, WHICH IS ONE 20? YES.
BUT EVEN PRIOR TO THE DART, A, A PRIOR NOTICE TO VACATE WAS GIVEN BACK IN 2021.
SO THE PROPERTY OWNER WAS AWARE BACK IN 2021 OF WHAT NEEDED TO BE DONE AND CONTINUED TO STILL RESIDE THERE, CONTINUE TO RUN GENERATORS AND CONTINUE TO HAVE THE ISSUES THAT HE HAD THERE, WHICH BROUGHT US TO DO A DART IN 2024.
SO TO CURRENT DATE, THE LAST DAY YOU WERE THERE WAS 3 27 20 24, CORRECT.
NOTHING CHANGED OTHER THAN A PIG REMOVED.
UH, ARE THE PEOPLE STILL BACK ON THE PROPERTY THAT WERE THERE BEFORE THAT WEREN'T? NO, THE PROPERTY OWNER IS NOT RESIDING THERE AT THIS TIME.
THERE WAS NO SIGNS OF ANYBODY STAYING ON THE PROPERTY WHEN WE WERE THERE.
SO IT DOES APPEAR THAT THEY HAVE VACATED.
IS IT, AND, AND I ALWAYS ASK THIS, WHEN IT'S A DARK CASE, IS IT A ON A AVENUE FOR SCHOOL APPROACH, A STREET THAT ANY THE KIDS USE TO GO TO SCHOOL? SO I BELIEVE THE AREA SAFE OFFICER COULD PROBABLY ANSWER THAT QUESTION BETTER FOR YOU AS FAR AS HOW MANY KIDS PROBABLY WALK IT IN, WHAT IT'S UTILIZED FOR.
[00:30:02]
DO WE HAVE ANY OTHER QUESTIONS? THANK YOU.DO WE HAVE OWNER OR OWNER'S REPRESENTATIVE PRESENT FOR THIS? OKAY.
WE HAVE, UH, POLICE OFFICERS FOR GOOD MORNING BOARD.
I WORK FOR THE SAN ANTONIO POLICE DEPARTMENT, WEST SAFE UNIT.
UH, LEMME START OFF WITH, UH, THE QUESTION REGARDING TO THE SCHOOL.
UH, THIS PROPERTY DOES BORDER, UH, TOM SLICK PARK, UH, THE BACK OF THIS PROPERTY.
UH, NOT, NOT THE FENCE LINE, BUT, UH, IT'S WALKING DISTANCE TO THE PARK ALSO.
IT'S ACTUALLY 0.61 MILES AWAY FROM MEADOW VILLAGE ELEMENTARY SCHOOL AND 0.5 MILES AWAY FROM JOHN JAY.
UM, TO ANSWER YOUR QUESTION, UM, IF IT'S A ROUTE KIDS WALK, UM, I WOULDN'T HAVE THAT INFORMATION FOR YOU, BUT, UH, IT IS IN CLOSE, UH, PROXIMITY TO SCHOOLS.
UH, THE REASON THIS PROPERTY CAME TO OUR ATTENTION, UH, IS IN REGARDS TO THE SHOTS FIRED BEING TAKING PLACE.
UH, IF YOU LOOK BACK FOR A TWO YEAR HISTORY, THERE WERE SEVEN SHOTS FIRED CALLS, TWO SHOOTING IN PROGRESSES, TWO DISTURBANCES, TWO RECOVERED STOLENS, ONE, ASSAULT IN PROGRESS, MULTIPLE DISTURBANCE CALLS, AND ONE LARGE FIRE.
I'LL GO INTO SOME DETAIL REGARDING THESE CALLS.
UH, THE FIRE ACTUALLY TOOK PLACE, UH, TWO 20 OF 21, WE NOTICED AFTER THE FIRE TOOK PLACE, THAT'S WHEN A LARGE, UM, VOLUME OF, UM, OF CALLS FOR SERVICE WERE TAKING PLACE.
AFTER THAT, UM, 3 12 21 A, A SHOTS FIRED CALL CAME IN.
UH, THE HOUSE WAS ACTUALLY SHOT AT, UH, MULTIPLE PEOPLE THAT WERE STAYING AT THE HOUSE ACTUALLY, UM, RAN INTO THE HOUSE WHEN POLICE SHOWED UP.
AND THE POLICE RECEIVED, UH, VERY MINIMAL, UH, COOPERATION REGARDING, UM, WHY THEY WERE THERE.
ON 5 10, 21, UM, MULTIPLE OFFICERS WERE DISPATCHED TO THE, TO THE LOCATION.
THERE WAS ACTUALLY FOUR STOLEN VEHICLES FOUND ON THE PROPERTY.
UM, ANOTHER SHOTS FIRED CALL CAME OUT.
UH, THE HOUSE WAS, UH, IT WAS MORE OF A DRIVE-BY TYPE, UH, CALL.
THE HOUSE WAS SHOT AT, UH, THE VICTIMS THERE OR THE RESIDENTS THERE ACTUALLY DID NOT CALL THE POLICE A BYSTANDER DID.
UH, ON 5 29 20 22, ANOTHER SHOOTING TOOK PLACE, ONCE AGAIN WAS A DRIVE BY.
THE HOUSE WAS SHOT AT AND THERE WAS A LITTLE COOPERATION FROM THE TENANTS AT THE TIME.
A DEADLY CONDUCT REPORT WAS ACTUALLY WRITTEN UP, A MAJOR EVENT THAT TOOK PLACE.
IT WAS ACTUALLY BY, UH, BEXAR COUNTY SHERIFF'S OFFICE ON, UH, FOUR 15 OF 23.
UH, A DEPUTY IN THE AREA WAS ACTUALLY, UH, CONDUCTED A TRAFFIC STOP.
UH, THE VEHICLE ENDED UP BEING STOLEN.
IT ACTUALLY WENT TO 7 1 3 5 CBRA ROAD, WHERE THE DRIVER, UH, ACTUALLY BARRICADED HIMSELF INSIDE THE HOME.
UM, MULTIPLE RESOURCES WERE, UH, DISPATCHED TO THE HOUSE, INCLUDING OUR DRONE UNIT.
UM, AND THEY WERE ABLE TO PLACE THIS, UH, INDIVIDUAL IN CUSTODY ON, UH, SIX 10 OF 23, UH, POLICE OREGON DISPATCHED.
THERE WAS ACTUALLY TWO RECOVERED STOLEN VEHICLES AGAIN, ON THE PROPERTY.
UH, IF WE GET INTO THE DART, UH, JUST SO WE'RE CLEAR, WE ACTUALLY HAD TO MAKE SEVERAL OR MULTIPLE ATTEMPTS.
UH, THE FIRST TIME WHEN WE ARRIVED THERE, UH, WE COULD HEAR GENERATORS IN THE BACK OF THE PROPERTY, RIGHT? THERE IS THAT PRIVACY FENCE THERE THAT BORDERS THE SIDE OF IT.
UM, WE KNEW THAT WAS RUNNING AND ALSO WE COULD HEAR PEOPLE INSIDE.
UH, NO ONE CAME TO THE DOOR AND LET US IN THE SECOND ATTEMPT.
THERE WAS VEHICLES OUTSIDE THE PROPERTY, RIGHT? UM, WE HAD AN IDEA THAT P UH, INDIVIDUALS WERE THERE, NO COOPERATION.
WE JUST ISSUED CITATIONS FOR, UH, PARKING IN THE FRONT YARD.
THE THIRD ATTEMPT, UM, WE ACTUALLY, THERE WAS A WINDOW THAT WAS OPEN.
WE ACTUALLY WERE ABLE TO GAIN ENTRY INSIDE THE WIN THROUGH THE WINDOW.
UH, WE MADE ONE ARREST FOR A, UM, FELONY WARRANT, AND THEN OBVIOUSLY THE ANIMAL WAS LOCATED INSIDE.
UH, I JUST WANNA STRESS THAT THIS PROPERTY IS A NUISANCE, RIGHT? WE HAVE NOTICED THAT UH, THE PEOPLE THAT ARE AT THIS HOUSE THAT WE'VE DEALT WITH GO TO OTHER PROBLEM HOUSES THAT WE HAVE IN THE SURROUNDING AREA.
SO, UH, IT IS A NUISANCE, RIGHT? THE NEIGHBORS ON BOTH SIDES ARE, UH, KIND OF, UH, TIRED OF THE ISSUES, RIGHT? SO, UM, ANYTHING WE CAN DO TO SORT OF RESOLVE THAT WOULD BE GREAT.
[00:35:01]
AND THAT CONCLUDES MY PRESENTATION.THIS IS FRED ANDIS, UM, COMMENT.
THANK YOU GUYS FOR YOUR SERVICE OUT THERE.
UH, AND YOU BEAT ME TO THAT BECAUSE I WAS GONNA ASK YOU ON THE, HOW MANY ARE ROBING AROUND IF THEY'RE THE SAME PEOPLE YOU KEEP RUNNING INTO, BUT YOU'VE ANSWERED THAT, UM, YOUR ATTEMPTED DARTS.
SO I WOULD ASSUME THAT 1 16, 20 24 IS THE SUCCESSFUL.
THAT WAS OUR SUCCESSFUL, WHERE WE GOT INSIDE THE LOCATION.
'CAUSE IT'S NOTE ON 8 29 23 THAT IT WAS ATTEMPTED DART.
SO THAT WOULD BE THE SECOND ONE.
THAT'S, SO, THAT'S CORRECT, SIR.
ALRIGHT, APPRECIATE YOU GUYS SERVICE.
UM, HOW DID THIS PROPERTY TAKE SO LONG TO GET TO BSB? THIS IS DANGEROUS PREMISE OFFICER TOWN.
UM, SO THE AREA, DANGEROUS PREMISE OFFICER WAS THE ONE WHO INITIATED IT.
UM, AT THE TIME, DUE TO THE FIRE, HE, HE WAS WORKING WITH THE PROPERTY OWNER.
IT MAY NOT HAVE BEEN THE EXACT CORRECT PERMIT, BUT AT THAT TIME THEY WERE TRYING TO WORK WITH THEM.
UM, THEY DID GIVE A NOTICE TO VACATE SO THAT THEY WOULDN'T BE LIVING THERE, BUT THEY WANTED TO WORK WITH THEM.
UM, UNFORTUNATELY, AS WE CAN SEE, THAT DIDN'T HAPPEN, BUT THEY WANTED TO GIVE THEM THAT OPPORTUNITY.
OKAY, BECAUSE IF I'M LOOKING, AND I LOVE DATES, RIGHT? SO ON 4 6 20 21, THEY PULLED THE PERMIT AND THE NEXT MONTH, UH, SPD, WELL, I FOUND FOUR STOLEN VEHICLES ON 5 10, 21.
SO IT WAS PRETTY OBVIOUS THAT SAN ANTONIO PD, IT WASN'T WORKING RIGHT.
THERE WAS CRIMINAL ASPECT THERE.
UM, BUT ON THE DEVELOPMENT SERVICES SIDE, WE STILL WANT TO ALWAYS GIVE THE PROPERTY OWNER OPPORTUNITY.
UM, AT THE TIME, THE PROPERTY OWNER, HE WAS WORKING WITH HIS MOTHER, WHO NOW HAS PASSED.
SHE WAS THE ONE FINANCING THE REPAIRS THAT HE WAS GOING TO DO.
UM, SHE HAS PASSED, SO THERE HE DOES NOT HAVE ANYONE TO FINANCE HIM ANYMORE.
UM, SO AT THAT TIME, HE DID HAVE A WAY TO FINANCE REPAIRS.
SO THAT'S WHY THE AREA, DANGEROUS PREMISE OFFICER WAS WORKING WITH HIM TO TRY TO AT LEAST GIVE HIM THAT OPPORTUNITY.
I GOT A FOLLOW UP, A NOTICE OF VACATE.
THERE WERE TWO, THERE WAS A VEHICLE THERE THEY WERE LIVING IN AS WELL.
WHEN YOU POSTED A NOTICE OF VACATE, MAYBE STAFF CAN ANSWER THIS.
DOES IT ONLY COVER THE DWELLING OR DOES IT COVER ALL PLACES? THEY'RE LAYING THEIR HEAD.
SO IT NORMALLY IT COVERS THE, THE PROPERTY, THE FOUR CORNER.
YES, BECAUSE SOME NOBODY SHOULD BE RESIDING IN A, IN A VEHICLE ANYWAY.
UM, THAT IS A DIFFERENT VIOLATION, SO NOBODY SHOULD BE RESIDING IN A VEHICLE.
UM, BUT IT'S FOR THE PROPERTY.
IF I CAN ALSO ADD TO THAT, UM, GREAT ANSWER, CRYSTAL.
UH, IN GENERAL, EACH NOTICE IS VERY UNIQUE AND WE'LL SPECIFY IF WE'RE TALKING, AND IT COULD BE AN APARTMENT UNIT, AND WE'LL SPECIFY THE UNIT IF IT'S IN PARTICULAR TO A SPECIFIC UNIT, BUT IT IS TYPICALLY TO THE PROPERTY.
WE'LL INCLUDE THAT TYPICALLY IF WE NEED TO, BUT IT IS TYPICALLY THE ENTIRE PROPERTY.
UM, NOBODY SHOULD BE DWELLING ON THE PROPERTY, FRONT YARD, BACKYARD INSIDE, OUTSIDE, THOSE, THOSE TYPE OF THINGS WILL TYPICALLY BE NOTED AS WELL.
WELL, I THOUGHT THAT WOULD, BUT WE NEVER EVER TALKED ABOUT IT BEFORE.
BUT YEAH, IT MAKES SENSE TO COVER EVERYTHING.
I, I ALSO, THIS IS ERIC BURNS WITH LEGAL.
I ALSO WANT TO CLARIFY THAT ON THOSE, UM, ON THE NOTICE TO VACATE THE DEVELOPMENT SERVICES, UH, DOES ISSUE, THEY DO NOT, UH, THEY'RE NOT ENFORCED UNLESS THE THIS BOARD, UH, ORDERS IT.
AND ALSO IT MIGHT BE A NOTICE TO VACATE MIGHT BE DUE TO ELECTRICAL HAZARDS THAT IF THEY GO AHEAD AND ABATE THAT ISSUE, THEN IT'S NO LONGER, UM, THE, THE NOTICE TO VACATE IS NO LONGER, UM, GOING TO BE SOMETHING THAT THE, UH, DEVELOPMENT SERVICES IS LOOKING TO ENFORCE.
IT IS A NOTICE TO VACATE IS SOLELY TO, UM, TO REMOVE PERSONS FROM AN UNSAFE STRUCTURE AND TOLD THAT UNSAFE SITUATION IS ADDRESSED.
THANK YOU VERY MUCH, MR. CHAIR.
I HAVE A FOLLOW-UP QUESTION FOR LEGAL.
SO THE BOARD IS WHO IS ENFORCING THE NOTICE TO VACATE WHEN YOU KNOW IT'S GIVEN? WHAT KEEPS THEM FROM GOING BACK TO THE PROPERTY? RE-ASK ME THE QUESTION.
LET ME, LET ME MAKE SURE I UNDERSTAND THE QUESTION THAT YOU'RE ASKING ME.
SO YOU JUST SAID THAT THE BOARD ENFORCES AN NOTICE TO VACATE, RIGHT? NO, I, I WANNA MAKE SURE I'M CLEAR.
DEVELOPMENT SERVICES IN THE CITY WILL NOT ENFORCE A VACATE ORDER UNTIL THIS BOARD INCLUDES IT.
[00:40:01]
A NOTICE TO VACATE IS, HEY, WE BELIEVE THIS IS AN ISSUE.WE ARE LOOKING TO VACATE THIS, THIS PROPERTY, BUT THE PROPERTY IS NOT GOING TO BE VACATED OR THE PROPERTY ORDERED TO BE VACATED UNTIL THIS BOARD PUTS IT IN A MOTION OR PUTS IT IN AN ORDER.
THEN MY QUESTION STILL SENDS, SO 2 21 TO FOUR FOUR, IT TOOK THIS PROPERTY TO GET ALL THE WAY UP HERE.
WELL, I CAN, I CAN TELL YOU AS WE'VE DISCUSSED, UM, DEVELOPMENT, EXCUSE ME, UH, THE BUILDING STANDARD BOARD AND, AND, AND, UH, THE ANALOGY I USE AS A TRAIN, UM, IT IS THE CABOOSE IN REGARDS TO, UH, 2021 TO 2024, IT DOES LOOK LIKE THERE WERE SOME CRIMINAL ISSUES GOING ON, BUT AS STAFF HAD STATED, UH, THE, THE CODE ISSUES, UM, WERE STILL BEING, UM, WORKED THROUGH WITH DEVELOPMENT SERVICES.
UM, IT DID NOT COME TO THE, THE DART UNIT UNTIL, IF YOU LOOK AT IT, 20 23, 20 24.
UM, SO THAT IS WHEN THE, THE DART UNIT DECIDED TO DO AN IN, UM, INVESTIGATION AND INSPECTION.
UM, YES, CHAIR, WE DO HAVE THE OWNER'S DAUGHTER, UM, DELILAH ANO.
UM, MS. ANO, IF YOU CAN PLEASE APPROACH THE PODIUM AND STATE YOUR NAME AND ADDRESS FOR THE RECORD.
HI, MY NAME IS DELILAH DIANO, AND I CURRENTLY RESIDE AT 60 10 RAY ELLISON BOULEVARD.
UM, I'M HERE TODAY TO SPEAK FOR MY FATHER.
HE COULD NOT BE HERE UNFORTUNATELY, BUT I UNDERSTAND THE PROBLEMS THAT THE PROPERTY HAS HAD SINCE, UM, HE WAS IN, WHEN HE WAS IN JAIL.
THE PROPERTY WHO WAS STAYING ON THERE WAS MY UNCLE AND SOME OF HIS PEOPLE.
THEY CAUSED A LOT OF PROBLEMS WITH THE HOUSE, AND THEY'RE INITIALLY THE REASON WHY IT NEEDED CONSTRUCTION.
UM, CURRENTLY RIGHT NOW HE DID, WELL, NOT RIGHT NOW, BUT CURRENTLY HE HAS TOLD ME THAT IF I CAN FIND A WAY TO FIX IT UP, I CAN BE ABLE TO MOVE THERE.
I JUST HAD A BABY RECENTLY AND I DON'T WANT TO LIVE IN APARTMENTS ANYMORE.
I DID FIND SOMEONE, HIS NAME IS LUIS AGUILAR, AND HE'S WILLING TO DO CHARITY WORK AND ELECTRICIAN.
I JUST HAVE TO EXTEND THE PERMIT ON IT.
AND I'VE BEEN FINDING WAYS TO FINANCIALLY SUPPORT BUILDING THE HOUSE.
AGAIN, I WORK, MY BABY'S FATHER WORKS AND HE'S WILLING TO HELP US DO THAT SO I CAN GET IN THERE.
UM, ALL THE PROBLEMS THAT HAS HAPPENED WITH ME THERE, THAT WOULDN'T HAPPEN.
I, 'CAUSE I UNDERSTAND THAT THERE'S BEEN LIKE A LOT OF PROBLEMS WITH THE HOUSE, BUT UNDER NEW SUPERVISION FROM THE HOUSE, IT WOULDN'T BE THAT BAD.
YOU DO REALIZE HOW MUCH WORK NEEDS TO BE DONE ON THAT HOUSE? YES.
LIKE INSIDE AND OUTSIDE? YES, I DO.
AND YOU, YOU REALIZE THE EXPENSE OF THAT? YES, I DO.
I HAVE ANOTHER HOUSE THAT IS GONNA BE GIVEN TO ME OUT OF TOWN, UM, BUT IT'S NOT UNTIL THE PERSON PASSES AWAY.
EVEN THAT HOUSE STILL NEEDS A LOT OF WORK, AND I UNDERSTAND IT WOULD BE A LOT OF INVESTMENT, BUT IT WOULD BE AN INVESTMENT WHERE MY CHILD COULD STAY.
UM, YOU STATE THAT IT'S YOUR FATHER'S HOUSE AND HE VERBALLY GAVE YOU CONSENT.
WITH THAT SAID, LET'S ENTERTAIN THAT THOUGHT.
YOUR WILLINGNESS TO FIX IT UP AND CODE GIVES A PAMPHLET AND DESCRIBES WHAT YOU'RE SUPPOSED TO BRING.
AND I DON'T BELIEVE YOU WERE HERE FOR THE READING OF THE CHAIR.
WHEN HE DESCRIBED WHAT YOU WERE SUPPOSED TO BRING, DID YOU BRING ANY DOCUMENTATION OF FINANCIAL, UH, CONTRACT? I DID NOT.
DO YOU UNDER UNDERSTAND THE SEVERITY OF WHAT IT'S GONNA TAKE TO FIX THAT UP? AND HOW LONG WAS THAT DISCUSSED? YES, I DO.
I DID NOT, I WASN'T HERE ON TIME, BUT I DO UNDERSTAND JUST BY SEEING IT, YOU CAN TELL HOW LONG IT WOULD TAKE AND HOW MUCH FINANCIAL YOU'LL BE PUTTING INTO IT.
WELL, YOU SAID YOU TALKED TO A CONTRACTOR? YES.
HOW? HE'S A, HE'S AN ELECTRICIAN CONTRACTOR.
AND THEN I HAVE, UM, MY MOTHER'S FRIEND WHO DOES ROOFING AND HE'S WILLING TO GIVE ME A DISCOUNT ON ROOFING.
BUT DID THEY TELL YOU HOW LONG IT WOULD TAKE TO DO THOSE SPECIFIC TASKS? THEY DID NOT TELL ME EXACTLY HOW LONG, BUT THEY DID SAY IT WOULD BE A LONG PROCESS.
[00:45:01]
MM, HE PER, SO THE ELECTRICIAN, HE SAID HE COULD DO IT FOR CHARITY WORK, AND THEN MY MOM'S FRIEND TOLD ME THAT HE CAN GIVE ME AN ESTIMATE ONCE HE DOES A FULL WALKTHROUGH.BUT Y'ALL HAVE NOT LET NOBODY ON THE PREMISES, SO WE DON'T WANT TO GO THERE AND ANYTHING HAPPENS.
AND THE ROOF IS THE SAME THING THAT HE DIDN'T GIVE YOU A COST.
HE JUST, HE TOLD ME ONCE HE SEES EVERYTHING, THAT HE'LL BE ABLE TO GIVE AN EXACT COST.
WELL, WHEN YOU SAY EVERYTHING, I'M A GENERAL CONTRACTOR.
THAT'S WHY WHEN YOU SAY EVERYTHING, THAT MEANS THE WHOLE STRUCTURE.
SO HE'S NOT JUST A ROOFER? WELL, NO, HE, HE'S ONLY A ROOFER, BUT THE LUIS AGUILAR IS A ELECTRICIAN.
SO THEY'RE TWO DIFFERENT RIGHT.
THAT'S WHY I'M SAYING WHEN YOU SAY HE SAID HE'LL SEE EVERYTHING YOU'RE REFERRING TO JUST THE ROOF.
SO NO, YOU DON'T HAVE ANY F UH, FINAL NUMBERS OR TIME.
SO WHAT WE GO BY IN HERE, IF WE GRANT THAT ASPECT? MM-HMM.
AND YOU HAVEN'T BEEN ABLE TO PRODUCE THAT.
IN YOUR OPINION, HOW LONG DO YOU THINK IT WOULD TAKE TO BRING THE HOUSE UP TO CODE? I THINK IT WOULD TAKE, UM, MAYBE FIVE YEARS.
SO IT'S WAY OUT OF OUR WELL BOX OF WHAT WE CAN ALLOW.
SO IF I CAN SHORTEN THAT TIME, IT WOULD BE, YOU WOULD HAVE TO SHORTEN THAT TIME A LOT.
BUT OUR, OUR GUIDELINES TO THE BOARD ARE A SPECIFIC NUMBER OF DAYS.
BASED OFF OF WHAT YOU HANDED US BY CONTRACT AND ALL THAT AND WHAT THEY TELL YOU.
BECAUSE IF YOU GIVE US A FIVE YEAR PROGRAM THAT'S OUT.
MR. CHAIR LEGAL HAS A COUPLE OF QUESTIONS, MA'AM.
YOU, YOU, YOU'RE STATING THAT YOUR DAD'S GONNA GIVE YOU THE HOUSE.
DO YOU KNOW WHEN THAT IS GOING TO HAPPEN? UM, HE SAID THAT HE CAN DO IT ANY TIME JUST TO LET ME, JUST TO LET HIM KNOW.
AND I HAVE, SO I'M JUST WAITING ON HIM TO FINISH THAT PROCESS.
AND THAT IS, HE'S GOING TO TRANSFER TITLE OVER TO YOUR NAME, IS THAT CORRECT? I BELIEVE SO, YES.
UM, HOW LONG HAVE YOU KNOWN ABOUT THIS, UM, BUILDING STANDARD BOARD HEARING IN REGARDS TO THE PROPERTY? I HAVE NOT KNOWN ABOUT IT THAT LONG.
HOW, HOW LONG DO YOU THINK? UM, I THINK MAYBE IN DECEMBER HE WAS TELLING ME THAT Y'ALL WERE GETTING AT HIM.
AND SO AT, AT ANY POINT IN TIME, DID, DID YOU OR YOUR FATHER SHOW UP TO THE PRE BSB BOARD MEETING WITH STAFF TO GO OVER WHAT THEY BELIEVE ARE THE PROBLEMS AND POSSIBLY THE IDEAS THAT YOU MIGHT HAVE IN REGARDS TO THE PROPERTY? UNFORTUNATELY, I'VE NEVER CAME, I WAS NEVER INFORMED THAT THERE WAS ANY MEETINGS.
HE BARELY TOLD ME TO COME TODAY.
DO YOU, DO YOU KNOW IF HE SHOWED UP? I DO NOT KNOW.
BY ANY CHANCE, WERE YOU AWARE OF THE AFTER ACTION MEETING THAT WAS SET UP WITH, UH, THE DART UNIT AFTER THE INSPECTION TO GO OVER THE, THE CONCERNS WITH THE PROPERTY? NO, SIR.
SO YOU WEREN'T INFORMED OF THAT.
DO YOU KNOW IF YOUR FATHER SHOWED UP TO THAT OR THE OWNER SHOWED UP TO THAT? NO, I DON'T KNOW.
WE HAVE ANYONE ELSE? YES, WE DO.
UM, UM, I BELIEVE, UM, MR. CAMPBELL YEP.
IF YOU CAN PLEASE APPROACH THE PODIUM AND STATE YOUR NAME AND ADDRESS FOR THE RECORD.
WHAT'S GONNA, UH, MY NAME IS ALBERT CAMPBELL.
I'M WITH A NON-PROFIT ORGANIZATION, BIBLE TRUTH MINISTRIES.
I PERSONALLY DO NOT KNOW ADDRESS.
UM, 1808 HIDALGO, THE SUN SUNSHINE ESTATE.
UM, I PERSONALLY DON'T KNOW THIS LADY, BUT JUST RIGHT NOW, YOU KNOW, IT'S, IT'S IRONIC THAT SHE WANTS TO DO SOMETHING WITH HER LIFE.
YOU CAN SHOW THAT THE BOARD HAS NO COMPASSION, NO MERCY, ANYTHING TO SHOW THIS BECAUSE SHE WAS JUST DISCOURAGED
[00:50:01]
AND BELITTLED BECAUSE SHE WAS, BECAUSE YOU'RE TELLING HER THAT IF, OH, DO YOU KNOW HOW MUCH IT'S GONNA COST? ARE YOU WILLING TO TAKE THIS? WHAT IS THAT DOING TO HER MENTALLY AND PHYSICALLY? SHE'S TRYING TO DO SOMETHING WITH HER LIFE.SHE WANTS TO BE A, A PRODUCTIVE MEMBER, A HOMEOWNER, AND YOU'RE STOPPING FROM THAT.
THIS IS RIDICULOUS BECAUSE EVEN IN SECTION OF 1 3 0, 1 0.051, YOU KNOW, BEING A TEXAS HOMEOWNER DOES NOT NEED A PERMIT TO DO ANY WORK IN THEIR OWN HOMES.
WE NEED TO GET AND BASE OFF LINES BECAUSE SOON AS Y'ALL USE DART, IT'S AUTOMATICALLY LET'S DESTROY IT.
IT'S LIKE Y'ALL GUN HOLD TO DO THIS.
YOU KNOW, SAN ANTONIO HAS DESTROYED MORE THAN 700 HOMES MORE THAN HOUSTON, DALLAS, FORT WORTH ALTOGETHER WITHIN A TWO YEAR PERIOD.
THIS IS SAD BECAUSE LAST TIME WE WERE HERE, Y'ALL WERE GONNA GRANT SOME, UH, MR. ALDEN TO DESTROY A HISTORICAL BUILDING BECAUSE ECONOMIC DISTRESS, DO WE DO MORE FOR THE RICH THAN WE DO FOR THE POOR OR FOR THE MIDDLE CLASS? WE HAVE TO LOOK AT THAT AND SEE IF WE REALLY ARE DOING THE RIGHT THING.
WE REALLY GIVING A CHANCE TO THE PEOPLE THAT REALLY WANT TO DO SOMETHING, YOU KNOW, FOR THE LOVE OF GOD, PLEASE DO THE RIGHT THING AT LEAST.
ANYBODY ELSE? WE HAVE A MOTION QUESTION, PLEASE.
I UNDERSTAND WHAT WAS JUST SAID.
HOWEVER, IT HAS BEEN SINCE 2021.
THAT'S THREE YEARS THAT THIS PROPERTY HAS BEEN IN DISREPAIR, HAS HAD VIGRASS LIVING IN IT, HAS HAD SHOOTINGS, HAS HAD MAYBE DRUGS.
WHERE WAS THE OWNER AND HIS DAUGHTER AT THAT TIME? IT'S THE NEIGHBORS WHO ARE SUFFERING AND I FEEL FOR THIS YOUNG LADY, BUT I THINK IT'S GONNA COST A LOT MORE TO GET IT UP TO CODE THAN JUST TEAR IT DOWN AND BUILD A NEW ONE.
I MIGHT ALSO ADD THE MISSION OF THE BUILDING STANDARDS BOARD IS TO PARTNER WITH THE COMMUNITY AND BUILD AND MAINTAIN A SAFER SAN ANTONIO
MR. CHAIRMAN, I HAVE A MOTION.
MRS. THOMAS FRANKS, I MOVE THE PROPERTY LOCATED AT 71 35.

NO PERMITS HAVE BEEN OBTAINED.
THE PHOTOS THAT ARE BEING PRESENTED TODAY WERE TAKEN ON FEBRUARY 2ND, 2024 AND MARCH 26TH, 2024.
THIS IS THE MOST RECENT, UH, PHOTO OF THE PROPERTY CONDUCTED ON MARCH 26TH, 2024.
AS YOU CAN SEE, MULTIPLE INDIVIDUALS WERE PRESENT AND DETAINED BY S-A-P-D-I.
AT THIS TIME, I WANNA ADVISE THAT THE, THE BOARD THAT A NOTICE TO VACATE WAS ISSUED ON MARCH 20TH, 2024.
THIS IS GOING TO BE THE FRONT ELEVATION OF THE MAIN STRUCTURE.
THERE'S ELECTRICAL CORDS THAT ARE PRESENT OUTSIDE OF THE STRUCTURE.
AND AS YOU CAN SEE, THERE'S ALSO OUTSIDE PLACEMENT.
THIS IS GOING TO BE THE LEFT ELEVATION OF THE MAIN STRUCTURE.
THERE IS TRANSIT SIDING THAT'S BROKEN AND MISSING, EXPOSING THE DETERIORATED WOOD UNDERNEATH.
THE EXTERIOR WALL IS ALSO BOWING OUT AT THE BASE OF THE STRUCTURE.
IT ALSO LACKS WEATHER PROTECTION.
THERE ARE MULTIPLE BOARDED WINDOWS AND DOORS THAT'S POSING AN EGRESS CONCERN DURING A FIRE OR PANIC.
THIS IS A VIEW OF THE SAME ELEVATION JUST TO SHOW, UM, THE OVERHANG THAT IS ROTTED.
UM, IT'S HARD TO TELL IN THIS PHOTO, BUT A TARP HAS BEEN PLACED ON THE ROOF TOWARDS THE REAR OF THE STRUCTURE.
THE FASCIA BOARD IS ALSO DETACHING AND THERE'S A WATER HOSE THAT'S BEING FED INTO THAT FRONT WINDOW.
[01:00:01]

AGAIN, WE HAVE MORE BROKEN TRANSIT SIDING, EXPOSING THE WOOD UNDERNEATH THE FACIAL BOARDS ALSO LACK WEATHER PROTECTION.
THERE ARE MORE BOARDED WINDOWS.
UH, THERE'S AN OPEN RECEPTACLE BOX ABOVE THE DOOR WITH EXPOSED WIRING.
THERE'S ELECTRICAL CORDS BEING RAN FROM THE MAIN TO THE ACCESSORY THAT WILL BE SHOWN IN A DIFFERENT PHOTO.
THERE'S MORE OUTSIDE PLACEMENT.
THIS IS A RIGHT ELEVATION OF THE MAIN STRUCTURE.
AGAIN, WE HAVE A DETERIORATED OVERHANG.
THE WINDOW TRIMS ALSO LACK WEATHER PROTECTION.
THIS IS A GOOD VISUAL TO SHOW, UH, ALSO HOW CLOSE THE PROPERTIES ARE RIGHT NEXT DOOR TO EACH OTHER.
YOU CAN SEE THAT THE NEIGHBORING PROPERTY, THEY LIKE TO HANG OUT OUTSIDE.
IT'S, IT'S OBVIOUS THAT, YOU KNOW, THEY'RE IN THEIR BACKYARD.
AND THEN WITHIN THAT VICINITY OF THE AREA THAT WAS IN THE PREVIOUS PHOTO, THERE'S NEEDLES IN PLAIN VIEW.
THIS IS WALKING INTO THE FRONT DOOR OF THE MAIN STRUCTURE.
THERE'S VERY LIMITED SPACE TO WALK THROUGH AND MANEUVER AROUND.
AS YOU CAN SEE, THERE'S UM, OVERUSE OF EXTENSION CORDS AND DEBRIS.
THIS IS A CONTEXTUAL PHOTO OF THAT SAME ROOM.
THERE'S A DOOR TO THE LEFT THAT'S NOT ACCESSIBLE.
THERE'S A HALLWAY THAT LOOKING FORWARD THAT'S NOT ACCESSIBLE THERE.
EXTENSION CORDS THAT ARE BEING RAN THROUGHOUT THIS ROOM.
UH, THERE'S ALSO NEEDLES THAT ARE IN PLAIN VIEW, UH, RIGHT NEXT TO THAT CUP ON THE RIGHT PORTION OF THE PHOTO.
UM, THIS IS ANOTHER BEDROOM THAT'S LOCATED ON THE LEFT ELEVATION.
THIS ROOM IS ALSO ONE WAY, ONE WAY OUT.
THERE'S OVERUSE OF ITS EXTENSION CORDS.
UM, IT'S HARD TO TELL A LITTLE BIT, BUT THE CEILING IS MADE OF SOME TYPE OF PLASTIC MATERIAL THAT IS PIECED AND SCREWED TOGETHER.
THIS IS A CLOSER VIEW OF THE, OF WHAT I WAS DESCRIBING WITH THE CEILING OF HOW IT'S PIECED TOGETHER WITH SCREWS.
AND THERE'S, THERE'S A HANGING LIGHT BULB WITH AN EXTENSION CORD ABOVE IT.
THIS IS THE KITCHEN AREA WALKING THROUGH THE REAR OF THE STRUCTURE.

THERE'S A CLOSER VIEW REMAINING IN THE RESTROOM, UM, TO SHOW THE SEVERELY ROTTED, DETERIORATED WOOD MEMBERS AND THERE APPEARS TO TO BE MOLD.

YOU CAN SEE THE WALLS AND CEILINGS ARE COMPLETELY COVERED WITH TARPS AND BLANKETS USING TAPE WHERE IN THE SAME ROOM.
UM, OVERUSE OF EXTENSION CORDS.
IT'S, UH, HARD TO MANEUVER WITHIN THIS ROOM.
AND I JUST WANTED TO SHOW HOW CLOSE THAT HEATER IS TO THE BED AND OTHER ITEMS WITHIN THIS ROOM.
'CAUSE IT IS POSING A POTENTIAL FIRE HAZARD.
THIS IS, IT'S A DARKER PHOTO, I APOLOGIZE, BUT THIS IS WITHIN THAT SAME ROOM.
THERE'S A, THERE'S A SLEEPING BAG AND BLANKETS, WHICH IS ANOTHER INDICATION THAT PEOPLE ARE SLEEPING ON THE FLOOR IN THIS ROOM.
IT'S MADE OF NON-APPROVED MATERIALS SUCH AS PLASTIC AND TARPS AND PALLETS.

THIS IS A VIEW INSIDE THE ACCESSORY.
AS YOU CAN SEE, THERE'S A COUCH AND THERE'S FOOD AND CLOTHING INDICATING OCCUPANCY.
UM, AS YOU CAN SEE, THE INTERIOR WALLS ARE BEGINNING TO CAVE INWARD.
[01:05:03]
2211.EL PASO IS A SINGLE STORY OCCUPIED MAIN STRUCTURE LOCATED IN A RESIDENTIAL ZONE BUILT IN 1976.
THE MAIN STRUCTURE CONSISTS OF A PULSON BEAM FOUNDATION, COMBINATION OF TRANSIT, WOOD SIDING WITH A GABLE ROOF SYSTEM WITH ASPHALT SHINGLE COVERING.
THE ROOF SYSTEM IS SAGGING THE DECKING AND OTHER WOOD MEMBERS HAVE SIGNIFICANT ROTTEN DETERIORATION.

EXTERIOR TRANSIT SIDING IS BROKEN AND MISSING, EXPOSING THE ROTTED WOOD SIDING.
UNDERNEATH THE STRUCTURE IS BOWING AT THE BASE OF THE STRUCTURE ON THE LEFT ELEVATION SILL BEAMS ARE RESTING ON GRADE, SO FLOOR IS MISSING COVERED BY POORLY PIECED TOGETHER PLYWOOD AND OTHER NON-APPROVED MATERIALS.

SUBSECTIONS TO THE MAIN ARE 1, 2, 5, 7, 8, 11, 12, 15, 17, AND 18.
AND FOR THE ACCESSORY, 1, 2, 5, 7, 8, 11, 12, 15, 17, AND 18, FOR WHICH ANY BUILDING OR STRUCTURE WHICH HAS ANY OR ALL THE CONDITIONS OR DEFECTS HEREINAFTER DESCRIBED SHALL BE DEEMED TO BE A DANGEROUS BUILDING, ANY HAZARD TO PUBLIC HEALTH, SAFETY AND WELFARE.
PROVIDED THAT SUCH CONDITIONS OR DEFECTS OF DILAPIDATION, SUBSTANDARD, OR IN FITNESS FOR HUMAN HABITATION POSE A THREAT OR POTENTIAL THREAT TO LIFE, HEALTH, PROPERTY OR HUMAN SAFETY STAFF RECOMMENDS DEMOLITION TO THE MAIN AND ACCESSORY STRUCTURES.
THIS CONCLUDES MY PRESENTATION FOR 2214 EL PASO.
WE HAVE ANY QUESTIONS FOR THE OFFICER? I DO.
UH, THIS IS FRED ANDERSON, 10 24 23.
UH, THE DARK INSPECTION, IT NOTES IN HERE THAT YOU, UH, NOTICE TO VACATE WAS YES, SIR.
WE'RE PREPARING A NOTICE TO VACATE.
THERE'S ALSO 10 26 THAT YOU CONTACTED SAAS AND THERE'S NO ACTIVE ACCOUNT WITH THAT.
I GUESS THIS GOES TO STAFF BECAUSE THERE WAS NO ACTIVE WATER AT THIS PREMISE THERE.
SO I HAVE ON MY NOTES THAT I CONTACTED SAS ON THE 24TH AND WE CONFIRMED THERE WAS NO UTILITIES.
YOU, AND, AND BECAUSE THAT WE CONFIRMED THERE'S NO UTILITIES, THAT IS WHEN WE HAVE, WE CAN PREPARE NOTICE TO VACATE.
BUT MY UNDERSTANDING IS BECAUSE THAT NOW BECOMES A HEALTH AND WELFARE, THAT YOU CAN GO THROUGH OTHER AVENUES TO HAVE SOMEBODY REMOVED, SO TO SPEAK, OR THEY'RE ALLOWED TO LIVE THERE WITHOUT WATER.
THIS IS, THIS IS LEGAL UNLESS YOU, DID YOU WANT TO ANSWER? NO, MS. ANDIS? UM, AS FAR AS I UNDERSTAND, OUR RECOMMENDATION WOULD BE THE NOTICE TO VACATE WOULD STILL FALL INTO THAT PURVIEW.
UM, THERE'S NOT ANOTHER AVENUE THAT WE HAVE WITHIN DEVELOPMENT SERVICES.
IT WOULD BE THE SAME ISSUE WITH, UH, THE RECOMMENDED NOTICE TO VACATE, UH, THE BOARD AGAIN, IF THEY PUT THE BOARD ORDER IN, THAT WOULD BE THE NEXT, THE NEXT AVENUE OR THE NEXT ESCALATION.
BUT BECAUSE THEY HAVE NO WATER AND THEY'RE REQUIRED BY THE STATE OR THE REQUIREMENT IS THAT WATER, IN ORDER TO LIVE IN A DWELLING, YOU HAVE TO HAVE WATER AND THEY DON'T HAVE WATER.
AND THAT WOULD BE PART OF THE DETAILS OF THE, THE REASON THAT WE'RE RECOMMENDING THE NOTICE TO VACATE THAT IT, IT, IT'S ONE AND THE SAME, SIR.
IT WOULD BE ONE OF A NU A NUMBER OF DIFFERENT ITEMS THAT WE CALL A DEFICIENCY, THAT WE WOULD CALL IT UNINHABITABLE, UM, AND RECOMMEND, UM, FROM SECTION 1 0 8 OF THE SAN ANTONIO PROPERTY MAINTENANCE CODE, IT WOULD FALL INTO THAT SAME CATEGORY.
I DON'T THINK THEY UNDERSTAND.
[01:10:01]
THAT THE CITY IS NOT GOING TO ENFORCE THAT VACATE ORDER WITHOUT THAT ORDER OR THAT DECISION BEING GIVEN BY SOMETHING WITH A QUASI-JUDICIAL OR A JUDICIAL AUTHORITY.IT'S JUST, IT'S NOT, WE, I UNDERSTAND WHAT YOU'RE SAYING, MR. ANDES, IT, THE CITY'S NOT GONNA DO IT.
WE'RE NOT GOING TO, BUT, WELL, TO ME IT'S A CONFLICT.
IF WE HAVE A RULE OR LAW THAT STATES THAT PEOPLE CANNOT BE ON A PROPERTY FOR VARIOUS HEALTH REASONS, ONE BEING NO WATER, AND YOU'RE LEAVING IT UP TO THIS BOARD, THERE SEEMS TO BE, THERE SHOULD BE SOME REMEDY BEFORE OR A WAY, UH, BECAUSE IT'S A CONFLICT THAT IT WAITS TO THIS TIME.
WE, AND THERE'S STILL WITHOUT WATER.
WE WANT TO USE SOMETHING WITH THAT HAS JUDICIAL AUTHORITY TO MAKE THAT ORDER.
IN ESSENCE, WHAT WE WOULD BE DOING IS THE CITY WOULD BE SENDING IN NO, THE, I I, I DON'T THINK MUNICIPAL COURT WOULD HAVE THE AUTHORITY TO REMOVE WHAT YOU'RE ASKING THE CITY TO DO IS REMOVE PERSONS FROM THEIR HOUSE WITHOUT A JUDICIAL OR A COURT ORDER.
WE'RE NOT, WELL, THE CITY'S NOT GONNA DO THAT.
WHAT I'M SAYING IS, IS WE'RE SUPPOSED TO RE HAVE THE POWER TO REMOVE PEOPLE THAT DON'T HAVE WATER, ELECTRICITY, OR ASSETS LIKE THAT, THAT IS REQUIRED UNDER CODE FOR THEM TO LIVE IN THE HOUSE.
AND IT, THE QUALITY OF LIFE FACTOR, AND YOU'RE WAITING TILL THIS TIME FOR US TO HEAR IT.
THEN WHEN WE GIVE THE ORDER, IT'S TWO WEEKS, AND THEN THEY STILL HAVE AN APPEAL AND THEY'RE STILL WITHOUT WATER.
THE BASIC FUNDAMENTAL THAT IS REQUIRED, I DO WANNA MAKE SURE WE UNDERSTAND, AND I, I AGAIN, YOU, IT'S NOT LIKE YOUR ARGUMENT IS, ISN'T UNDERSTOOD.
I, I UNDERSTAND WHAT YOU'RE SAYING.
THE CITY'S NOT GONNA REMOVE PERSONS WITHOUT SOME TYPE OF JUDICIAL ORDER.
I I, IN ADDITION TO THE, THE OPPORTUNITY TO HAVE THAT, THEY, THERE SHOULD BE, UM, THE OPPORTUNITY FOR ANY PROPERTY OWNER TO APPEAL A JUDICIAL DECISION.
AND SO THAT'S WHAT, AND THAT'S WHAT WE'RE THAT'S WHAT WE, THAT'S WHAT I'M SAYING.
BY THE TIME WE GO THROUGH THIS, THEY STILL GET A 30 DAY APPEAL AND THEY'RE STILL WITHOUT WATER IN A RESIDENT THAT THE LAW SAYS IT, IT'S A CONFLICT.
IT, THERE'S A, A, I I DON'T NECESSARILY THINK THERE'S A CONFLICT.
I I THINK WHAT THE CITY WOULD MUCH RATHER DO IS HAVE SOME TYPE OF JUDICIAL BACKING TO ENFORCE WHAT YOU ARE.
WOULD YOU, WOULD YOU OR BELIEVE THAT THEY SHOULD JUST GO IN AND, AND, AND DO.
WELL, I UNDERSTAND THE PROCESS, BUT THERE'S, I GUESS WE'LL TABLE THIS FOR A ADMINISTRATIVE ISSUE BECAUSE I'M NOT FOLLOWING HOW YOU, WE, WE, WE COULD TABLE IT, BUT I CAN, I CAN, I I DON'T KNOW HOW HOW ELSE TO BE CLEARER.
IT'S NOT GOING TO HAPPEN SOME WITHOUT SOME TYPE OF COURT ORDER.
IT'S JUST, IT'S JUST NOT GONNA HAPPEN.
THE CITY IS NOT GOING TO MOVE FORWARD AND REMOVE PERSONS FROM A HOUSE WITHOUT A COURT ORDER, WITHOUT GOING THROUGH THE PROCESS, WITHOUT DUE PROCESS BEING AFFORDED TO THOSE PROPERTY OWNERS.
IT, IT'S, WE CAN DISCUSS IT AT ADMINISTRATIVE.
IT'S THE, THE CITY'S POSITION'S NOT GONNA CHANGE.
WE WOULD RATHER ERR, ERR ON THE SIDE OF CAUTION IN REGARDS TO DUE PROCESS IN REGARDS TO THAT, SIR.
I, I JUST, IF WE HAVE LAWS OUT THERE THAT ARE WAITING FOR US AND IT'S TAKEN MONTHS TO GET HERE, THOSE PEOPLE ARE STILL LIVING NOT JUST OUT OF CODE, BUT THE HEALTH AND WELFARE ASPECT THAT IT DOESN'T MAKE SENSE TO ME.
THERE'S OTHER CODES AND LAWS OUT THERE THAT CAN REMEDY FOR A SHORT PERIOD OF TIME, AND IF WE BELIEVE THAT THERE'S A VIOLATION, WHAT WE DO IS GO THROUGH THAT PROCESS THAT STILL ALLOWS THE STATE OR THE CITY TO ENFORCE THEIR LAWS WHILE WE ARE NOT, UM, SACRIFICING ANYBODY'S DUE PROCESS RIGHTS.
WHAT'S THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN SOMEONE THAT GETS HER WATER CUT OFF AND DOESN'T PAY? THEY'RE STILL LIVING WITHOUT WATER.
IT, IT, AND, AND, AND FOLKS, I I ENCOURAGE YOU TO HAVE THIS CONVERSATION OUT LOUD, BUT I WOULD NEED YOU TO TURN ON YOUR MICROPHONE SO WE CAN HEAR IT.
ALL I SIMPLY SAID WAS, WHAT'S THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN SOMEONE NOT PAYING THEIR WATER BILL AND GETTING THEIR WATER SHUT OFF AND THEN THESE PEOPLE NOT HAVING WATER.
WHAT THE CITY'S GONNA COME AND REMOVE THEM? NO.
UNDER THE CIRCUMSTANCES, THE CITY CAME IN, IT DOESN'T MATTER.
THE CITY DOESN'T CODE VIOLATION AUTHORITY TO REMOVE CITIZENS FROM THEIR HOMES.
WHERE DOES THIS, BUT IT IS ON THE LAW ALREADY THERE.
IT'S CALLED THE 14TH AMENDMENT.
I, I BELIEVE THAT'S, THAT'S WHY THE, IT IS ON THE BOOKS.
BUT THE CITY HAS, THE CITY HAS TO TAKE PROPER STEPS TO ENFORCE MR. ANDES.
I JUST WANNA MAKE SURE YOU UNDERSTAND.
THE CITY HAS TO TAKE CERTAIN STEPS, NECESSARY STEPS TO ENFORCE WHAT IS ON THE BOOKS.
JUST BECAUSE IT'S ON THE BOOKS DOESN'T MEAN THAT

BUT I CAN ALSO MAKE A MOTION TO POSTPONE THIS, WHICH KICKS IT BACK IN TO BACK TO THE, UH, CODE OFFICER WHERE THEY CAN THEN HANDLE THE SITUATION.
AND IF IT DOESN'T SELL, THEN IT WOULD COME BACK BEFORE US.
BUT I CAN ALSO STILL MAKE THAT MOTION.

I CAN TELL YOU AND, AND I'M BEING TOLD THAT A DISTRESS LETTER IS FILED WITH BEARER COUNTY IF THE PROPERTY'S GETTING READY TO COME BEFORE THE BOARD, IF THE PROPERTY'S ABOUT TO BECOME BEFORE THE BOARD.
SO TO, I MEAN, ME PERSONALLY, I WOULDN'T BUY A PROPERTY THAT'S, I RECEIVED A DISTRESSED LE LETTER.
SO, UM, YOU KNOW, OFTEN AND INCLUDING WHERE I LIVE, UM, THE PROPERTY IS WORTH MORE THAN THE BUILDING.
AND THAT'S WHAT THESE REALTORS DO IS THEY TEAR THE
[01:25:01]
FACILITY DOWN AND THEN BUILD A NEW ONE, WHICH IS FINE.WHICH IS THAT, THAT DISTRESS LETTER? I'M SORRY, JUST THE, THIS IS ERIC BURNS AGAIN, THAT DISTRESS LETTER IS TO CLARIFY TO ANY POTENTIAL BUYERS THAT THE PROPERTY IS COMING BEFORE THIS, THIS BOARD.

CHAIR, WE HAVE, UM, JACKIE CONS, CON CONS.

MR. CAMPBELL, IF YOU CAN PLEASE APPROACH THE PODIUM.
UH, MY NAME IS ALBERT CAMPBELL.
UM, I LIVE AT 1808 ALGO AT THE SUNSHINE ESTATE.
UH, I HAVEN'T PERSONALLY TALKED TO MR. EUGENE HERNANDEZ, BUT, UM, THEY HAVE SPOKEN, AND IT'S IN, IT'S IN YOUR RECORD THAT IN FEBRUARY OF, UH, 2024, HE HAD TALKED TO THE, TO THE CODE ENFORCER OFFICER THAT HE WAS IN THE PROCESS OF SELLING HIS HOME.
SO IT'S DOCUMENTED AND BECAUSE I READ ONE OF THOSE DOCUMENTED LETTERS THAT WAS SENT TO ONE OF, UH, THE BROTHERS OR THE SONS.
UM, SO IT, IS IT A STATEMENT MADE THERE? SO THIS IS CLEARLY SHOWING THAT THEY'RE HIDING WHAT IS BASICALLY REALLY THE TRUTH.
NO, WHEN YOU KNOW, DART, WE ALWAYS JUST USE DART, BUT DART IS A REALLY, IS A DANGEROUS ASSESSMENT RESPONSE TEAM, AND IT IS TO RECLAIMING AND RESTORE AND IZE NEIGHBORHOODS, RIGHT.
PLA WITH PROPERTIES OF SAFETY DUE TO DOCUMENT HISTORY OF HABITUAL CRIMINAL ACTIVITY OR CODE VIOLATIONS OF AT LEAST TWO YEARS.
AND THIS, AND SHE ALSO SAID THAT THE HOUSE WAS BUILT IN 1976 WHEN IT WASN'T.
AND IF THE PROPERTY WAS SO MUCH DAMAGE, HOW DOES IT KEEP ON GOING UP AND, AND PROPERTY VALUE OF IMPROVEMENTS FROM 2022 TO 2023? IT WENT ALMOST A $7,000 VALUE IN IMPROVEMENTS.
THAT'S, THAT'S KIND OF LIKE YOU YEAH, BECAUSE I MEAN, IT, IT IS JUST LIKE, IT'S KIND OF LIKE, IT DOESN'T MAKE ANY SENSE, RIGHT? IF WE, IN THE PROCESS OF THIS, I MEAN, I'M, I'M, I'M JUST TRYING TO MAKE SURE THAT PEOPLE HAVE A CHANCE TO BE ABLE TO DO SOMETHING RIGHT.
I MEAN, GIVE, GIVE, THIS HAS ONLY BEEN SINCE TWO, UH, OCTOBER OF 2023.
THAT'S ONLY A SIX MONTHS PERIOD WHEN EVEN IN YOUR, THE DOCUMENTED OF, UH, OF, UH, THE AUDIO SCOPE AND MYTHOLOGY OF OCTOBER, 2017 TO SEPTEMBER OF 2019, YOU KNOW, IT HAS TO HAVE AT LEAST A TWO YEARS PERIOD.
NOT WE, WE WE'RE JUST HERE TO THAT ALL OF A SUDDEN, IT, IT SEEMS LIKE WE CREATING CHAOS INSTEAD OF TRYING TO REBUILD SOMETHING, YOU KNOW? UM, ALSO THERE'S A, THE PROGRAM WHERE, WHERE WHEN REALTORS AND DEVELOPERS, UH, THEY DEMOLISH A BUILDING, THERE'S REUSABLE, UM, MR. CAMPBELL.
AND YOU HAD A, I JUST WANNA MAKE A STATEMENT.
GO AHEAD AND YOU CAN, MY PROPERTY ASSESSMENT INCREASED JUST SHY OF A HUNDRED THOUSAND DOLLARS FROM THE TIME I MOVED IN UNTIL THIS YEAR.
UM, I DID SOME IMPROVEMENTS, ALTHOUGH NOBODY CAME IN.
THE CITY IS THE ONE WHO DECIDES HOW MUCH IT'S WORTH, AND THEY LOOK AT THE NEIGHBORHOOD, AND THAT'S PROBABLY WHAT HAPPENED HERE.
HOWEVER, THEIR LAND IS STILL THERE.
[01:30:01]
BY THE OWNER, AND THAT IS PROBABLY WHAT THAT REALTOR WANTS.I I I WANT TO MAKE SURE THAT WE, THERE'S A CLARIFICATION.
UH, THE DART UNIT GO DOES DO A INVESTIGATION.
THEY DO INVESTIGATE PROPERTIES.
WE ARE LOOKING FOR A HISTORY IN REGARDS TO CODE AND OR CRIMINAL ISSUES.
UH, BUT I DO WANNA MAKE SURE THAT THIS BOARD DOESN'T NECESSARILY GET THAT CODE OF CRIMINAL HISTORY.
UH, SO WHEN YOU ARE SEEING, UM, THE, THE HISTORY, UM, PROVIDED BY THE DEVELOP DEVELOPMENT SERVICES, THAT IS NOT THE, THE, THE HISTORY, THE INVESTIGATIVE HISTORY THAT IS USED BY THE DART UNIT.
SO I, I WOULD LIKE TO MAKE SURE THAT, UH, THAT IS MADE BECAUSE IT, UH, THERE COULD BE SOME CONFUSION AND, UM, END UP BEING SOME MISINFORMATION.
SO I WANNA MAKE SURE WE'RE, WE'RE, WE'RE CLEAR ON THAT THE HISTORY FOR THE DART UNIT IS DIFFERENT THAN THE, THE HISTORY THAT THIS BOARD SEES.
YOU HAVE A GENERAL, I'M GONNA, I'M GONNA MAKE A GENERAL COMMENT.
A BROAD STROKE BRUSH TO THE PUBLIC.
THIS BOARD THAT SITS HERE, WHETHER IT BE PANEL A, B OR THE FULL BOARD, DOES NOT SEE ANY OF THESE CASES, IS NOT INVOLVED IN ANY OF THESE CASES.
AND THERE IS A LENGTHY PROCESS BEFORE IT GETS TO THIS BOARD.
THE PROCESS THAT THE BUILDING STANDARD AND THE BUILDING, WHAT'S THE OTHER BS DSD DEVELOPMENT SERVICES HAVE, WE DON'T EVEN KNOW ABOUT.
THEY DO THEIR THING AND THEY HAVE THEIR IN PLACEMENT.
IF THEY FAIL, ALL OF THAT, IT COMES TO THE BOARD.
WE DON'T EVEN SEE ANYTHING ABOUT THE ANYTHING UNTIL IT APPEARS ON OUR MONITORS.
ALSO THAT THE PROPERTY TAX HAS NOT A RELEVANCE IN THIS.
IT'S NOT, HAS TO DO ANYTHING WITH WHAT THE EVIDENCE IS.
THE HOMEOWNER AND EVERYBODY ATTACHED TO THAT HAVE A RIGHT TO SPEAK.
THAT YOUR DUE PROCESS, THE CITY GIVES THEIR SIDE HOMEOWNER GIVES THEIR SIDE.
WE DETERMINE BASED OFF THE INFORMATION AND EVIDENCE AND THE REQUIREMENTS PUT UPON US, NOT JUST BY STATE LAW, BUT BY THE CITY COUNCIL'S APPROVAL OF THE CODES.
WE DEAL WITH EVERYTHING FROM MAINTENANCE PROPERTY CODES ALL THE WAY UP TO DEMOLITION FOR A FULL BOARD MEETING.
WE HAVE TO HAVE A FULL BOARD FOR HISTORICAL.
SO YOU KEEP ATTACKING THE BOARD.
THAT HAS NOTHING TO DO WITH THIS UNTIL IT APPEARS.
IN ADDITION, BUILDING CODES PROTECT YOU FROM A WIDE RANGE OF HAZARDS, PHYSICALLY, SPIRITU, SPIRITUALLY, EMOTIONALLY.
MAY I SAY, MAY I SAY SOMETHING? UH, IT'S OVER.
UH, UM, I JUST WANT TO SAY THAT I'M, I'M SORRY, MR. CAMPBELL, YOU WILL HAVE AN OPPORTUNITY, MR. MR. CAMPBELL, YOU WILL HAVE AN OPPORTUNITY TO SAY AND SPEAK YOUR MIND AT THE NEXT, NEXT PROPERTY THAT COMES UP.
DO WE HAVE A MOTION? MR. CHAIRMAN? I HAVE A MOTION.

UM, I DO WANNA MAKE SURE THIS BOARD KNOWS THAT RECENTLY, UM, WHILE, UH, NEIGHBORHOOD HOUSING SERVICES DEPARTMENT HAS ALWAYS BEEN A PART OF THE DART UNIT, UM, IT WASN'T UNTIL RECENTLY THAT THEY OFFICIALLY HIRED AN INDIVIDUAL THAT SOLELY DEDICATED TO THE DART UNIT TO BE AT EVERY INSPECTION, TO PROVIDE AND TO OFFER, UM, EXCUSE ME, FIRST TO INTERVIEW ANY POTENTIAL PROPERTY OWNERS OR RENTERS THAT, THAT MIGHT NEED ASSISTANCE OR HELP.
UM, AND THAT IS EMMA RODRIGUEZ.

THAT CONCLUDES MY PRESENTATION OF 1619 DAWSON.
DO WE HAVE ANY QUESTIONS FOR THE OFFICER? MR. CHAIRMAN THIS'S.
AS BEING NEW ON THE BOARD, WHY WOULDN'T THIS PROPERTY QUALIFY FOR AN EMERGENCY DEMO? WHEN I'M LOOKING AT THE SAN ANTONIO FIRE DEPARTMENT REPORT WHERE IT SAYS HEAVY FIRE DAMAGE, SO THIS IS MORE EDUCATIONAL.
I, WELL, SIR, I CAN TELL YOU OUR PROCESS ON THAT.
SO WHEN WE SEE THAT THERE ARE SOME MAIN STRUCTURE ISSUES, WE DO REACH OUT TO OUR CHIEF BUILDING INSPECTOR AND HE'S THE ULTIMATE AUTHORITY THAT MAKES THAT DECISION.
IF THE, IF IT'S GONNA BE AN EMERGENCY DEMOLITION, IF NOT, WE JUST CARRY OUT ON THE SAME PROCESS OF, UH, NOTIFICATION TO, UH, OWNERSHIP OF THE PROPERTY.
SO I'M ASSUMING THAT THE CHIEF ENGINEER SAID NO.
AND THEN THIS QUESTION IS FOR STAFF.
THIS, I'M GOING BACK DOWN THE OHP RABBIT HOLE.
UM, AS WE CAN TELL BY THE PICTURES, RIGHT, AND BY SAN ANTONIO FIRE DEPARTMENT, THEY SUSTAINED HEAVY STRUCTURAL FIRE.
IF WE LOOK AT THE DATES WITH OHP, AGAIN, THEY BOUNCED AROUND DATES.
THEY RELEASED, THEN THEY DID UNRELEASED.
AND THEN THEY GAVE US A POSSIBLE RELEASE OF FIVE 13.
SO GOING BACK TO LAST BOARD MEETING, WHEN I ASKED HOW CAN OHP CONTINUE TO HOLD PROPERTIES THAT ARE PUBLIC SAFETY, UH, SAFETY, THANK YOU.
WE CAN HOLD THIS ONE UNTIL ADMIN TIME IF YOU'D LIKE.
YEAH, WE CAN LOOK AT, UM, LET ME LOOK AT THE CASE IN GENERAL.
IN GENERAL, I, I WOULD NOT CLARIFY OR DEFINE O P'S HOLDING CASES.
THEY DO HAVE TWO DIFFERENT STANDARDS OF A PROCESS.
THEY DO HAVE THEIR, UM, THE, UM, WHEN THEY'RE OVERALL LOOKING FOR A STRUCTURE TO SEE IF THEY NEED TO TAKE IT TO THE BOARD.
WE WORK VERY CLOSELY WITH THE, WITH THAT DEPARTMENT TO ENSURE THAT THEY HAVE THEIR TIME TO TAKE CARE AND ENSURE THAT THEY'RE FOLLOWING ALL THEIR STEPS AND PROCESSES.
THERE'S ALSO THE OTHER STANDARD FOR THE, UH, VACANT STRUCTURE PROGRAM.
SO THEY HAVE ANOTHER PART OF THAT, AND WE CAN BRING THEM IN AND SCHEDULE THEM IN FOR OUR NEXT FULL BOARD TO KIND OF REVISE AND REVIEW AND GO OVER THAT WITH YOU GUYS TO MAKE SURE THAT WE HAVE A CLEAR UNDERSTANDING OF ALL THEIR STEPS AND PROCESSES.
BUT I WOULD NOT CHARACTERIZE IT AS SAYING THAT THE BOARD OR THE OHP HOLDS THESE CASES.
WE, WE DO WORK VERY CAREFULLY.
IF THERE'S SOMETHING THAT WE NEED TO BRING TO THEIR ATTENTION BECAUSE IT HAS BECOME, UH, UNSAFE OR, OR PEOPLE ARE GETTING IN AND OUT OF IT, THINGS LIKE THAT, WE WILL BRING IT TO THEIR ATTENTION AND, UH, WORK TOGETHER ON THAT.
[01:50:01]
PROPERTY AND TWO BOARD MEETINGS.SO WHERE WE HAVE DATES THAT DON'T MATCH UP AND PROPERTIES END UP WITH OHP, I MEAN, I'LL REPHRASE.
IT'S GOING THROUGH A PROCESS, BUT WE'RE TALKING MONTHS.
SO THAT'S A PROPERTY THAT A KID CAN WALK IN, VAGRANT CAN WALK IN, CAN GO BACK TO FIRE, AND THAT IT'S THERE AND THERE'S NOBODY HERE ON THE BUILDING.
SO ALL, IT WOULD BE GREAT IF THEY COULD COME TO THE FULL BOARD MEETING NEXT MONTH.
WELL, I ALSO WANNA SAY THAT THAT IS OUR JOB AS DEVELOPMENT SERVICES.
THAT IS THE JOB OF THE, OF THE INSPECTOR WHO WILL MONITOR THAT CASE.
IF IT BECOMES, UH, UM, IF IT BECOMES OPEN UNSECURED, THAT IS OUR JOB TO THEN HAVE IT SECURED.
AND ALSO THE JOB OF US TO WORK TOGETHER WITH OHP TO NOTIFY HIM THAT, LOOK, WE'VE HAD TO SECURE THIS STRUCTURE, FOR EXAMPLE, POTENTIALLY THREE, FOUR TIMES.
IT'S CONTINUALLY GETTING BROKEN INTO.
THOSE ARE, THOSE ARE THE CONVERSATIONS IN COMMUNICATIONS.
WE DO WORK TOGETHER WITH OHP TO ENSURE THAT WE'RE REACHING THE SAME STEPS AS SOON AS POSSIBLE.
THE DATES, THEIR NOTIFICATION DATES ARE GONNA BE THEIR NOTIFICATION DATES.
IF IT'S TAKING LONGER THAN WE NEED, THAN IF THEY LOSE A TRACK OF IT, WE'LL, WE'LL DEFINITELY BRING IT TO THEIR ATTENTION TO, UH, GET IT BACK ON TRACK.
MR. CHAIR FRED ANDIS, UM, 3 8 24.
UH, IT, UH, YOU WERE NOTIFIED THAT THERE WERE TWO INDIVIDUALS LEAVING THE PROPERTY.
UH, WERE THOSE VAGRANTS OR OWNERS? THOSE ARE VAGRANTS, SIR.
I WAS, THAT WAS IN CONVERSATION WITH THE NEIGHBOR THAT LIVES NEXT DOOR.
SO THEN IT, IT'S POSSIBLE THERE BECAUSE IT WAS SECURED, CORRECT? THAT IS CORRECT, SIR.
SO WITH THAT, WAS THERE A SIGN TO THEM TAKING ANYTHING DOWN OR GOING IN GARAGE? GOING IN THE HOUSE? YES.
I MEAN, AS, UH, ONE OF MY FIRST ACCESSORY STRUCTURE PHOTO, UM, I DID MENTION THAT THERE WAS A CUR SECURING TO THE LEFT SIDE OF THE STRUCTURE AND IT HAD BEEN REMOVED.
THERE'S OTHER ACTION IN PLACE RIGHT NOW TO HAVE THAT STRUCTURE.
RESECURED THAT'S IN PLACE RIGHT NOW? SCHOOL DISTRICT? YES.
THERE IS A SCHOOL WITHIN, UM, 1000 FEET, AND I BELIEVE THAT'S WASHINGTON AND METRO.
IS IT AN AVENUE WHERE MOST OF THE KIDS GO, OR IT IT'S NOT, I HAVEN'T SEEN MANY KIDS WALK THROUGH THAT AREA, BUT THE SCHOOL IS WITHIN 1000 FEET.
YOU GOT QUESTIONS? ANY OTHER QUESTIONS? NO, THANK YOU, SIR.
WE HAVE ANYONE ELSE TO MR. CAMPBELL, IF YOU CAN PLEASE APPROACH THE PODIUM.
UM, MY NAME IS ALBERT CAMPBELL.
I MEAN, I, I JUST WANT TO ITERATE THAT I DON'T, I'M NOT ATTACKING THE BOARD, YOU KNOW, I'M JUST S SAYING AND STATING SOME THINGS SO THAT WAY WE CAN HAVE A, A BROAD SPECTRUM OF SEEING, OF WHAT'S HAPPENING, YOU KNOW, AND, AND IT IS JUST, WE CAN ABLE TO EVEN WORK WITH OUR COMMUNITY RIGHT.

INITIAL FIRE OCCURRED ON NOVEMBER 7TH, 2023 AND THEN A SECOND FIRE OCCURRED 45 DAYS LATER ON DECEMBER 22ND, 2023.
[02:00:03]
THE STRUCTURE WAS VACANT WHEN BOTH FIRES OCCURRED.NEXT PHOTO IS TAKEN UNDERNEATH THE PORCH.
COVERING UNDER COVERING IS MISSING.
THIS WAS REMOVED BY THE FIRE DEPARTMENT WHEN CHECKING FOR HOTSPOTS.

THERE'S ALMOST A 14 FOOT SECTION THAT IS LACKING ANY SUPPORT.
NEXT FLOOR IS GONNA BE OF A CLOSEUP OF THE ROOF SYSTEM, CEILING JOISTS, AND ROOF RAPTORS THAT REMAIN ARE SEVERELY CHARRED.
THE CHIMNEY LOCATED TO THE RIGHT, NO LONGER HAS SUPPORT AROUND IT.

THIS IS A SINGLE STORY RESIDENTIAL STRUCTURE THAT HAS SU SUSTAINED TWO FIRES WITHIN BACK TO BACK MONTHS REAR OF THE STRUCTURE HAS SUSTAINED SIGNIFICANT DAMAGE TO THE EXTERIOR WALL AND ROOF SYSTEM.
THE DAMAGE BY THE FIRE TO THE REAR HAS MADE THE STRUCTURE UNSECURED BOTH TO PREVENT MENTS FROM ENTERING THE STRUCTURE INTERIOR.

THAT CONCLUDES MY PRESENTATION OF 3 46 CANTON.
ANY QUESTIONS FOR THE OFFICER, FRED? YEAH.
UM, I SEE A LOT OF RETURN IN HERE.
DID, WAS THERE EVER ANY CONTACT WITH ANYBODY? NO, SIR.
I DID, UH, HAVE A LITTLE CONVERSATION WITH THE NEIGHBOR THAT DOES LIVE NEXT DOOR TO THE RIGHT.
SHE HAS STATED THAT THE, UH, OWNER IS DECEASED.
[02:05:01]
THERE WERE SOME HEIRS TO THE PROPERTY.SHE DIDN'T HAVE ANY CONTACT WITH THEM.
UM, WAS HOPING TO COME HERE TODAY.
AND WHEN, YOU KNOW, ON THE LEO SIDE IS WHEN WE DO A DE SEARCH, I WAS HOPING SOMEBODY WOULD SHOW UP, BUT WE HAVE NO OWNERSHIP PRESENTATION TODAY AS WELL.
AND THE SECOND ONE, OBVIOUSLY VAGRANTS GOING IN AND OUT OR SOMEBODY.
HAVE YOU CAUGHT ANYBODY OR SEEN ANYBODY? THE NEIGHBORS SEEN PEOPLE IN AND OUT OF THEIR REGULAR? WELL, ON MY LAST INSPECTION, I DID NOTE IT.
UM, WHEN I WENT UP THERE FOR SOME UPDATED EXTERIOR PHOTOS, I DID CATCH A VAGRANT WALKING OUT OF THE STRUCTURE AND THE, UH, SECURING THE BACK.
UH, I SAY ATTEMPTS WERE DONE TO SECURE A VARSITY CONTRACTOR.
AND WHEN I SAY ATTEMPTS, THE, OUR CITY CONTRACTOR ACTUALLY DID SECURE THE STRUCTURE, RIGHT.
HE HAD AT LEAST DID WHAT HE HAD TO DO.
UM, WE PULLED UP A, UH, SECURING AT LEAST SIX FEET, UM, YOU KNOW, FROM THE BASE OF THE, FROM GRATE TO UP JUST SO NOBODY COULD WALK IN.
BUT ON MY LAST INSPECTION THERE, THOSE BOARDS WERE REMOVED AND TAKEN.
JUST AN ADDITIONAL SIDE, SIDE NOTE.
UH, IS THERE A WORK ORDER TO FIX THE SIDEWALK? 'CAUSE THAT'S KIND OF DANGEROUS RIGHT NOW TOO.
YOU KNOW WHAT, SIR? I ACTUALLY DIDN'T VISIBLY SEE THAT, BUT, UM, I WILL MAKE LOCATION AND WE WILL, UH, ADDRESS WHAT NEEDS TO BE ADDRESSED ON THAT.
ANY OTHER QUESTIONS? I DON'T HAVE A QUESTION.
I JUST HAVE A STATEMENT FOR STAFF.
NO OTHER PUBLIC COMMENTS OR ANYTHING? UH, MR. CAMPBELL, YOU MAY APPROACH THE PODIUM.
UH, SECTION 1 56, ESPECIALLY IN THE MAIN 1, 2, 5, 7, 8, 11, 12, 15, 17, AND 18.
AND I MOVE THAT THE PROPERTY BE SECURED AND VACATED OR, AND THE OTHER, THE OTHER WAY AROUND.
VACATED AND SECURED AND ALL UTILITIES DISCONTINUED.
AND WE HAVE A, UH, MOTION FOR THE PROPERTY LOCATED AT 3 4 6 KENTON SAN ANTONIO.
7 8 2 0 2 IS A PUBLIC NUISANCE, WHICH IS, UH, NOT FEASIBLE FOR REPAIR AT THIS TIME AND IS IN VIOLATION OF CHAPTER SIX, ARTICLE EIGHT, SECTION 1 5 6.
SPECIFICALLY, UM, SUBSECTIONS 1, 2, 5, 7, 8, 11, 12, 15, 17, AND 18 WITH A 30 DAY DEMO SECURED, VACATED AND UTILITIES.
CAN WE GET A VOTE? ROBERT TAPIA? AYE.
MOTION PASSES WITH THE VOTE OF SIX TO ZERO.
IS ROBERT TY MOTION, UH, CARRIES SIX TO ZERO.
IF THERE ARE NO OTHER ADMINISTRATIVE ITEMS, I MEAN, IF NO OTHER CASES, DO WE HAVE ANY ADMINISTRATIVE ITEMS TO DISCUSS? YEAH.
WE HAVE ONE, ONE ADMINISTRATIVE ITEM TO DISCUSS.
THANK YOU LADIES FOR BEING ON BOARD.
[02:10:01]
CODE ENFORCEMENT ADMINISTRATOR.I DO WANNA HAVE ONE ADMINISTRATIVE ITEM I'D LIKE TO DISCUSS, UH, TO GIVE PANEL.
UM, I, I I GUESS SOME INFORMATION.
SO AS YOU RECALL, UM, SO FOR SEVERAL OF YOU SAT ON THROUGH THE, UH, REVIEW CODE REVIEW OF THE SANTO PROPERTY MAINTENANCE CODE PROCESS, RIGHT? MM-HMM.
AND AT THAT TIME, WE FOLLOWED THE, UH, THE DIRECTION THAT WAS SPELLED OUT IN CHAPTER 10, UM, WHICH KIND OF OUTLINED, YOU KNOW, KIND OF THE COMPOSITION OF THE SUBCOMMITTEE.
UM, WHAT'S COM WHAT THE COMMITTEE WOULD, WOULD, WHAT WOULD EITHER, WHAT THE SUBCOMMITTEE WOULD BE MADE UP WOULD BE, UH, NOT ONLY MEMBERS OF THE BOARD, BUT ALSO WOULD INCLUDE NON-MEMBERS OF THE BOARD.
RIGHT? UM, BUT THE DIFFERENCE WOULD BE THIS TIME IS THAT THOSE NON-MEMBERS WOULD HAVE, UH, UH, WOULD BE VOTING MEMBERS, IF YOU WILL.
RIGHT? SO, UH, THE PROPOSED RECOMMENDATION TO, UH, CHAPTER SIX WOULD BE TO, UH, AGAIN, TO MIRROR CHAPTER 10 TO WHERE IT CLEARLY DEFINES, UH, THE CREATION OF A SUBCOMMITTEE, WHAT THOSE ROLES ARE AND WHAT ROLE THAT EACH, EACH MEMBER, IF YOU WILL, WHETHER YOU'RE NON MEMBER OR NOT, UH, OR, OR EACH MEMBER, UH, PLAYS IN THE OVERALL VOTING PROCESS.
RIGHT? SO ULTIMATELY, UH, EVERYBODY AT THE TABLE WOULD HAVE A VOTE, IF YOU WILL.
SO I JUST WANTED TO SHARE THAT WITH THIS PANEL.
UH, WE'LL BE SHARING IT WITH THE NEXT PANEL AND ALSO BRINGING IT BACK TO THE FULL BOARD MEETING AS, AS WE GET FURTHER INTO IT.
UM, YOU SAID THAT WAS CHAPTER SIX, WHAT SECTION? CHAPTER SIX AND 10.
IT'S CHAPTER SIX AND WE'LL HAVE TO CREATE A SUBSECTION UNDER SIX.
AND ARE WE REFERENCING, UH, 2021? NO, THIS IS CITY CODE, NOT SAN PROPERTY MAINTENANCE CODE, BUT CITY CODE ITSELF.
NOW, WHEN YOU PRESENT THAT, AND I'M GONNA ASK, AND IT'S PROBABLY GONNA BE ALREADY THERE, UH, IS, IS THE BOARD, WHAT, WHAT NUMBER ARE YOU LOOKING AT FROM THE BOARD AND THEN FROM THE CIVILIAN? IS IT GONNA BE DONE THE SAME WAY THE BOARD PICKS 'EM OR IS THE CITY GONNA PICK 'EM? OR COUNCIL DISTRICT BY DISTRICT? SO WE, WE DID OUTLINE THE RECOMMENDED NUMBER OF, OF MEMBERS PER THE BOARD.
SO LAST, UM, CODE REVIEW CYCLE, WE HAD, WE LEFT IT OPEN FOR PRETTY MUCH EVERYBODY ON, ON, ON THE BOARD.
SO I BELIEVE 10 MEMBERS AT THAT TIME VOLUNTEERED TO SIT THROUGH THE PROCESS.
AND WE HAD FOUR NON-VOTING MEMBERS AT THAT TIME.
UH, I THINK THIS TIME WE'RE PROPOSING IT TO LIMITED TO SIX, UH, BSB MEMBERS.
AND WITH AT LEAST, UH, FOUR, UM, YOU KNOW, UH, NON-VOTING MEMBERS.
BUT IT SHOULD ALWAYS BE, UH, THE WAY IT'S SPELLED OUT HERE IS, IS IT'S, IT'S, IT'S, I THINK IT'S A TOTAL OF 10 THAT COULD BE COMBINED.
RIGHT? SO IT'S SIX AND, AND BEST CASE SIX AND FOUR WOULD BE 10.
NOW IT COULD BE LESS, RIGHT? SO LET'S SAY YOU ONLY HALF DECIDED IN THE IDEA BEHIND IT, THEN IT WOULDN'T BE FOUR NECESSARILY, MAYBE ONE LESS, RIGHT.
THE WAY IT'S SPELLED OUT IN THE CODE OR THE RECOMMENDATION PROPOSAL.
AND, AND THEN THE PROCESS WOULD BE THE VERY SAME.
RIGHT? SO LAST TIME, IF YOU RECALL, UM, WE OPENED IT UP TO THE PUBLIC, RIGHT? AND, AND, AND THERE WAS AN APPLICATION, IF YOU WILL, THERE WAS, THERE WAS A FEW QUESTIONS THAT WERE ASKED.
AND, UH, THE APPLICATIONS WERE GATHERED.
THEY WERE GIVEN TO THE BOARD TO REVIEW.
YOU GUYS, I BELIEVE WENT TO EXECUTIVE SESSION AND HAD OPPORTUNITY TO INTERVIEW THE APPLICANTS THAT WERE HERE AT THE TIME.
THAT WOULD BE THE SAME PROCESS.
SO YOU, THE BOARD WAS TO HAVE, UM, THE AUTHORITY TO MAKE THAT SELECTION AS TO WHO WOULD BE ON THE SUBCOMMITTEE.
NOW, IS THAT ALSO THE SAME WAY WE DID WHEN WE HAD THE SQUARE TABLE? BECAUSE I CAN'T SAY ROUND TABLE BECAUSE IT WAS SQUARE.
UM, THE, THE STAFF WILL ALSO BE, AND COUNCIL WILL BE THERE AS WELL, OR NO, NO, NO, I'M SORRY.
SO, SO FOR, TO CLARIFY, SO THAT WOULD BE THE SUBCOMMITTEE.
SO THAT, THAT, THAT THE PROCESS THAT WE TALKED ABOUT LAST TIME, THAT WAS THE REVIEW.
UH, IT WOULD BE THE SUBCOMMITTEE MEMBERS, WHICH WOULD BE COMPRISED OF, AGAIN, THE SIX B, S, B MEMBERS AND THE FOUR, UH, NON APPOINTED MEMBERS.
UM, NOW OF COURSE THESE ARE PUBLIC HEARINGS, RIGHT? SO ANYBODY CAN JOIN IN, IN THESE MEETINGS, RIGHT? THEY JUST WON'T HAVE A, A SEAT AT THE TABLE TO VOTE.
WILL, WILL WE NOT HAVE A COUNCIL OR NO COUNCIL, NO STAFF, NOTHING.
AGAIN, THEY'RE PUBLIC HEARINGS.
I MEAN, IF A, IF A COUNCIL REPRESENTATIVE WANTS TO APPEAR NO, NO, NO.
WELL, BY ALL MEANS, I APOLOGIZE.
LEGAL IS ALWAYS AT THESE MEETINGS, RIGHT? YEAH, THAT'S WHAT I'M SAYING BECAUSE, SO THE BOARD MEMBER WILL ACTUALLY, OR THE BOARD WILL ACTUALLY HAVE A, A REPRESENTATIVE
[02:15:01]
COUNSEL.WHICH WILL, AND, AND STAFF WILL NOT BE IN THE MEETING.
IT'LL BE JUST THE SUBCOMMITTEE.
YEAH, NO, SO THE PROCESS WOULD BE THE SAME.
SO STAFF WOULD BE DRIVING THE CODE REVIEW PROCESS.
BUT THE, THE MEMBERS WOULD BE MADE UP, AGAIN, AS I MENTIONED, THE, THE, THE BOARD MEMBERS AND THEN THE FOUR NOT APPOINTED MEMBER.
SO AGAIN, THE PROCESS WOULD NOT CHANGE.
UM, IT'D BE VERY SIMILAR TO WHAT WE DID LAST YEAR.
WE JUST WANT TO CODIFY IT AND, AND MAKE IT THE CHANGE WHERE WE'RE SAYING NOW THE NON APPOINTED HAVE, UM, A VOTE, UH, IN THE COURT REVIEW PROCESS.
SO IT'LL NOW, BECAUSE THIS WAS THE EXPERIMENT, CORRECT.
SO NOW THIS WILL BE THE ACTUAL RUN WITH IT, BECAUSE THIS WAS NOT DONE BEFORE FOR BOARD MEETINGS WITH THE CIVILIANS IN THERE.
WE, WHEN WE DID THIS BEFORE, WE NEVER HAD CIVILIANS.
AND WE TALKED ABOUT THAT, THAT THIS WAS MORE OF A FIRST TIME WHEN WE HAD THE MEETING BEFORE, IT WASN'T CALLED THE SUBCOMMITTEE, IT WAS WHEN WE WERE DOING THE DRAFT FOR THE NEW CODES.
NO, ANY, ANY CODE REVIEW PROCESS THAT WE'VE GONE THROUGH IN THE PAST WITH A PROPERTY MAINTENANCE, WE'VE ALWAYS ENGAGED THE COMMUNITY.
SO WE'VE ALWAYS HAD A MEMBER OF THE PUBLIC OR ANY STAKEHOLDER, WHICH IS INDUSTRY PROFESSIONAL OR SOMEBODY, UH, IN, IN, IN THE MEETING AS WELL.
SO THIS IS NOT A, A NEW PROCESS FOR US.
WELL, THE ONES ME AND MR. NELSON SAT ON BEFORE, I DON'T REMEMBER CIVILIANS.
I DON'T REMEMBER, REMEMBER ANY SEVERE THAT WAS GIVEN LATER AS IT WAS PASSED AROUND BEFORE IT GOT INTO COUNCIL.
SO I, SO THAT'LL BE IN ADDITION TO, ARE WE LOOKING AT THE NUMBER OF MEETINGS OR IS THAT GONNA BE FLUENT? WE CAN GET IT APPROVED.
I GUESS I'M NOT FOLLOWING YOUR, YOUR, YOUR QUESTIONING.
SO ARE YOU, WHAT ARE YOU ASKING EXACTLY AS FAR AS IN, IN THE, LIKE HERE, I THINK IT WAS 12, 12 MEETINGS AND WE CANCELED A FEW OF THEM BECAUSE WE COVERED A LOT.
ONE, AND THEN WE, SO IS IT GONNA BE FLUENT TO AS NEEDED OR IS IT GONNA BE STIPULATED IN THERE THAT WE'RE GONNA HAVE A SPECIFIC NUMBER OF MEETINGS? OH, I, I APOLOGIZE.
YEAH, SO, SO THE NUMBER OF MEETINGS IS, IS, IS GONNA BE SUBJECT TO I, I GUESS THE NUMBER OF PROPOSED CHANGES OR AMENDMENTS BROUGHT BEFORE US, RIGHT? SO HOWEVER LONG IT TAKES FOR US TO GET THROUGH THAT CODE REVIEW PROCESS.
SO IT MAY BE FOUR, MAYBE EIGHT, MAYBE 12.
WE DON'T KNOW, RIGHT? IT JUST DEPENDS ON HOW MANY PROPOSED CHANGES ARE COMING BEFORE THAT, THAT PROCESS.
SO AGAIN, UM, IT JUST HAPPENED LAST TIME.
I THINK WE ENDED UP WITH 11 OR 12 MEETINGS.
THAT'S EVERY DAY AT A CERTAIN TIME.
I BELIEVE LAST TIME WITH THE PROCESS WAS EVERY FRIDAY, UH, JUST BECAUSE OF EVERYBODY'S SCHEDULING AND WHAT HAVE YOU.
UH, THEY WERE ON FRIDAYS, RIGHT.
UM, BUT OF COURSE, ONCE WE START THAT PROCESS AGAIN, WE'LL CERTAINLY REACH OUT TO EVERYBODY, FIND OUT WHICH DAY WORKS BEST FOR EVERYBODY.
JUST WANTED TO UPDATE THE BSB MEMBERSHIP.
WAS APPOINTED TO THE BSB ON MARCH 7TH, AND MR. GRIMES REPRESENTS DISTRICT TWO AND FILL THE RETIRED CATEGORY.
ALSO TODAY, DORA SOLI IS SCHEDULED TO BE APPOINTED TO THE BSB.
SHE REPRESENTS DISTRICT SIX AND FILLS A RETIRED CATEGORY AS WELL.
BOTH MR. GRIMES AND MS. SOLIS WILL JOIN PANEL A.
THE BSB WILL NOW HAVE TWO VACANCIES IN DISTRICT ONE AND THE AT LARGE POSITION.
THE PCDC DID MEET ON MARCH 28TH FOR CONSIDERATION OF THE AT LARGE APPOINTMENT.
HOWEVER, THE MOTION WAS MADE TO DELAY THE ITEM FOR THE NEXT AVAILABLE HEARING.
SO THIS SHOWS THREE VACANCIES.
WHICH ONE? VACANCIES OPENED ON A AND THEN, UH, ONE IS OPEN, YOU'RE CORRECT.
THE DISTRICT ONE, DISTRICT EIGHT, AND THE AT LARGE.
AND ARE THEY DISTRICT ONE IN EIGHT APPLICANTS OR NOT? THERE IS ONE DISTRICT EIGHT APPLICANT.
MR. TROY SUMMERS, I BELIEVE HIS APPLICATION IS BEING REVIEWED BY THE COUNCILMAN.
SO WE'LL JUST, IF THAT GOES THEN DISTRICT ONE WILL BE PROBABLY THE ONLY ONE STILL VACANT FOR A WHILE.
NOW, CAN THAT BE DONE IN AT A LARGE, THAT BY CITY COUNCIL? NO.
BUT IT'S A SPECIFIC COUNCIL SEAT OR, OR DISTRICT IT, YES.
THAT IS, UH, COUNCILWOMAN FOR DISTRICT ONE HAS THE ABILITY AND THE AUTHORITY.
[02:20:01]
DISTRICT ONE, BUT I'M HERE AS A HEALTHCARE PROFESSIONAL.THERE'S THERE A WAY FOR IF THEY FIND A HEALTHCARE PROFESSIONAL TO MAKE ME DISTRICT ONE OR IS THAT, THAT, THAT WOULD, IF I COULD ANSWER THAT QUESTION, THAT MEANS I'M IN CONTACT WITH DISTRICT ONE TO FIND OUT HOW THEY'RE DOING THINGS.
I, I'M NOT, UM, JUDY WOULD PROBABLY BE THE BEST PERSON TO ASK.
I, I PROMISE YOU, AS SOON AS I TAKE THE VOLUME OFF MY MICROPHONE, I'M GONNA HATE JUDY.
WE GOOD? UH, WE HAVE ANY, ANY, ANY, ANY OTHER, UH, ADMINISTRATIVE ITEMS? FRED, DID YOU WANT TO TABLE YOUR, UM, BRING UP YOUR TABLED ITEM? YEAH, BECAUSE IT'S, IT'S, AND THE REASON I SAY THAT, 'CAUSE THERE'S STUFF ON THE BOOKS THAT SPECIFICALLY SAYS PEOPLE CAN BE REMOVED, BUT THE PROCESS WE'RE TAKEN, THEY'RE STILL NOT REMOVED AND THEY'RE STILL IN VIOLATION.
BUT IT'S, IT'S IN THE SYSTEM BEYOND US.
I JUST WANTED TO ASK IT LIKE THE FIRE STUFF THAT ME AND MS. BROWN KEPT ASKING, BUT IT SEEMS TO BE MAYBE THERE'S SOMETHING THERE THAT THE LEGAL, IT MAY HAVE KICKED SOMEBODY UP THAT'S BEEN WATCHING US THAT SAYS, YOU KNOW WHAT, THERE, THERE'S A THING.
AND I APPRECIATE STAFF'S HELP.
BUT THERE WAS A, THERE WAS A, AN ISSUE YOU BROUGHT UP IN, IN ONE OF THE CASES AND THAT THAT WAS IT DEALING WITH THE WATER ISSUE, DEALING WITH ALL THAT? YEAH, BECAUSE THERE ARE SPECIFIC RULES THAT SAY IF THERE'S NO WATER, ELECTRICITY, THAT'S AN AUTOMATIC REMOVAL.
AND THEN AGAIN, I'M SAYING AUTOMATIC.
'CAUSE IF THE CODE DOES, NO, I, NOT THE CODE, BUT THE LAW OR WHATEVER SAYS IT, AND THEN WE'RE CAUGHT SAYING, WHY CAN'T THAT HAPPEN HERE? AND IT'S THE LEGAL ISSUE THAT HAS TO BE WORKED OUT.
SO I I, I THINK THE, THE CITY TO ACT UNLA, I, I KNOW THE LAW IS THERE FOR THE CITY TO ACT UNILATERALLY TO REMOVE A PERSON FROM THEIR PROPERTY AND THEN SECURE IT.
I GUESS WITHOUT GIVING THEM AN OPPORTUNITY TO APPEAL THAT OR FIGHT IT OR CHALLENGE IT, IT WOULD BE, NOT ONLY WOULD IT BE, UM, IMPROPER, BUT LIKE FOR INSTANCE, A DART UNIT WOULD NEVER DO THAT.
WELL, IT'S NOT, I'M NOT SAYING A DART UNIT, I'M JUST SAYING IT'S LIKE THE EMERGENCY PROCESSES SIT IN PLACE AND I'M NOT TALKING CODE CODE.
I'M TALKING LAW, LAW THAT SHOULD OR COULD BE IMPLEMENTED IN A SITUATION.
AND THAT'S, AGAIN, NOT IN THE BOARD'S REALM, BUT I JUST ASKED THE QUESTION THAT IF ONE OF THE RES DECODE ISSUES IS NON-RUNNING WATER AND YOU ONLY GET A CITATION FOR IT, BUT IN OTHER PARTS IT SAYS IT IS A REMOVABLE ITEM UNDER THE HEALTH, THE BASIC, WHAT DO THEY CALL IT? UM, THE LIFE, THE, I FORGET THE TERM THEY USE.
ARE YOU TALKING ABOUT HEALTH AND SAFETY? IT'S, IT'S A HEALTH AND SAFETY ISSUE IF YOU DON'T HAVE WATER, ELECTRICITY, AND ALL THAT.
SO MAYBE THAT'S A DIFFERENT, COULD BE.
BUT THAT'S THE LEGAL AREA TO WORK IN AND SEE MAYBE THERE IS ANOTHER AREA BECAUSE HEALTH AND WELFARE COMES INTO PLAY.
SO I JUST THROW IT OUT THERE AS IT'S A NOTICE THAT WE SEE AND WE'RE AWARE OF IT.
SO YEAH, BASICALLY OFF THAT, WE'LL JUST, IT'S, IT'S A CONVERSATION PIECE THAT WE HAD AND IT SAID, ALL RIGHT, GOOD, BECAUSE I WAS GONNA GO START PICKETING HERE PRETTY SOON.
IT'S, IT'S, IT'S NOTHING TO DO WITH, IT'S NOTHING TO DO WITH PEOPLE WHO CAN'T PAY A WATER BILL.
THIS ACTUALLY IS A VIOLATION WHEN CODE COMES ON, IT'S ALL, IT'S A DIFFERENT MR. ANDES, I, I HATE TO INTERRUPT YOU, SIR, BUT ACTUALLY IT WOULD FALL INTO THE SAME CATEGORY IF SOMEBODY HAS THEIR WATER CUT OFF FOR LACK OF PAYMENT, AND IF WE'RE MADE AWARE OF IT, WE WOULD START THE SAME PROCESS.
BUT THEY WOULD, THERE IS A PROCESS THAT IS IN, IT'S PART OF THE DEPARTMENT THAT WE HAVE ADOPTED, AND WE'RE NOT GONNA STRAY FROM.
WE, WE DO HAVE A NOTICE THAT WE, WE WILL ISSUE A NOTICE TO CORRECT THE ISSUE.
THEN IF IT COMES, IF THAT NOTICE EXPIRES AND THERE'S NO ACTION TAKEN, IT MAY ESCALATE TO A NOTICE, UH, OF, UH, A VACATE NOTICE SIGNED BY THE, THE BUILDING OFFICIAL.
IF THAT IS NOT REMEDIED, THEN WE HAVE OUR NEXT LEVEL OF ESCALATION IS TO THE BOARD.
AND IT DOES, IT DOES TAKE TIME.
I KNOW YOU WANT THIS TO SEE IT HAPPEN INSTANTANEOUSLY.
AND EVEN IN A PER PERFECT WORLD, IT WOULDN'T BECAUSE EVERYBODY IS ENTITLED TO DUE PROCESS.
AND THAT IS WHAT OUR STANDARD ALWAYS HAS TO DO TO MAKE SURE WE'RE FOLLOWING THAT DUE PROCESS LINE.
AND I, AND I SAY THAT IT IS A DIFFERENT ANIMAL BECAUSE IF YOU GET YOUR WATER CUT OFF AND YOU GO DOWN AND PAY IT FRIDAY, IT IS A
[02:25:01]
BIG DIFFERENT ANIMAL FROM WHEN SOMEBODY JUST REFUSES TO PAY IT AND THEIR WATER'S CUT OFF.THAT'S, AND THAT'S WHERE CODE COMES IN AND ALL THAT.
PEOPLE GET THEIR WATER CUT OFF EVERY DAY AND THE DUE PROCESS PAY YOUR BILL.
IF THEY DON'T PAY IT, THEN IT GOES INTO THE OTHER ANIMAL.
IT'S NOT FOR EVERYDAY PEOPLE, IT'S FOR PEOPLE WHO CONTINUOUSLY VIOLATE.
NEITHER FEDERAL, STATE OR LOC MUNICIPALITY HAS THE AUTHORITY TO JUST START REMOVING CITIZENS FROM THEIR HOME, WHETHER THEY HAVE ELECTRICAL OR WATER.
WE REALLY WANNA TALK, START TALKING ABOUT THE 14TH AMENDMENT, AND WE REALLY WANNA START GOING TO CIVIL RIGHTS.
BUT AT THE SAME TIME, WE CAN GET DOWN THE SAME.
WHAT ARE WE DOING WITH THE HOMELESS POPULATION? THEY DON'T HAVE ELECTRICAL, THEY DON'T HAVE CITY.
I JUST WANTED TO MAKE SURE EVERYBODY KNEW THAT THE CITY'S NOT GONNA DO ANYTHING UNTIL WE GET SOME TYPE OF JUDICIAL ORDER.
WE CAN DEBATE, BUT WE'RE NOT GONNA, YOU'RE NOT GONNA ENFORCE.
UH, JUDY, CAN YOU, UH, REFRESH OUR MEMORY? OUR NEXT MEETING IN MAY WILL BE FOR PANEL A.
WHO NEXT MONTH TOO? UH, NO, THE FULL BOARD MEETING IS MAY 16TH.
IT'LL BE TWO BOARD, THE FIRST AND SECOND, AND THEN THE THIRD WEEKEND WILL BE THE FULL BOARD MEETING.
AND NOW BY UNANIMOUS DECISION, THIS MEETING IS ADJOURNED.
