UM, IF THERE IS A VACANT HOME THAT'S LEFT LIKE THIS, IT'S, IT'LL EITHER GET, IT'LL EITHER BURN DOWN FROM HOMELESS SETTING FIRES IN IT, OR, UM, JUST CONSTANT PROBLEMS FOR THE NEIGHBORS, UH, VAGRANTS DRUG USE, UH, PROSTITUTION, UM, IF, IF THEY'RE LEFT ALONE LIKE THIS, UH, THIS PROPERTY ITSELF, IT KNOWN INDIVIDUALS IN THE AREA THAT JUST KIND OF GO FROM VACANT HOUSE TO VACANT HOUSE. WERE IN THIS ONE. UM, SO WHEN WE STARTED GIVING IT ALL THIS ATTENTION, THEY STARTED MOVING OUT. UH, SO SINCE THE, THE DARK, PRETTY MUCH EVERYONE HAS MOVED OUT. UM, [00:20:01] WE GO BY THERE PRETTY MUCH EVERY DAY. FOR THE FIRST PROBABLY MONTH AFTER THE DART, UH, WE WERE GOING BY EVERY DAY HAVING TO SHOO PEOPLE OFF BECAUSE THEY WERE MAKING THEIR, UH, NEW PEOPLE WERE MAKING THEIR WAY UP. AND ONCE THEY REALIZED THE OLD ONES WERE OUT. UM, SO WE WOULD GO BY EVERY DAY. WE KNOW IT'S TOUGH FOR CODE TO GET OUT THERE AND RESECURE, UH, USUALLY WHAT HAPPENS IS ONCE THEY SECURE EVERYTHING, PEOPLE COME FOR THE NEXT, YOU KNOW, GOOD MONTH PULLING BOARDS OFF, WE HAVE TO RESECURE THEM OR THEY'RE JUST GONNA KEEP COMING IN. UH, SO WE HAD TO DO THAT FOR A GOOD MONTH AFTER THE, THE ACTUAL DART. UM, THEY'RE ALSO THE NEIGHBORS BECAUSE WE'RE SECURING THE PROPERTY. THERE'S A PRIVACY FENCE AROUND THE BACKYARD. UH, IT'S VERY SECLUDED BACK THERE. SO WHAT THEY'RE DOING IS PULLING DOWN THE NEIGHBOR'S PART OF THE PRIVACY FENCE TO THEN ENTER THE BACK AND GO SLEEP BACK THERE, DO DRUGS, WHATEVER, YOU KNOW, THEIR REASONING IS FOR, BUT THEY WOULD GO STAY BACK THERE. SO WE, IT'S BEEN A BATTLE AS FAR AS TRYING TO HELP THE NEIGHBORS OUT, UH, KEEPING THEIR FENCES SECURED. UM, BUT UNLESS, YOU KNOW, AN OWNER TAKES ALL OF A SUDDEN GIVES IT A LOT OF ATTENTION OR IT GETS DEMOED, UH, IT'S JUST GONNA BE A CONSTANT PROBLEM FOR THE RESIDENTS. AND THEY'VE BEEN DEALING WITH THIS FOR QUITE A WHILE. DO YOU HAVE A CALL COUNT THAT, UH, YOU CAN GIVE TO US OR, UH, ADDITIONAL, SPECIFIC ISSUES IN TERMS OF WHAT THE CALLS WERE ABOUT? UH, DISTURBANCES WITH GUNS, UH, ANIMAL BITE CALLS, RAPE IN PROGRESS, UM, WELFARE CHECKS ON INDIVIDUALS, UM, AND THEN ONSITE US ALWAYS CONSTANTLY, YOU KNOW, HAVING TO GET PEOPLE OFF RESE, SECURING THE BUILDING. UM, AND SINCE THE DART THERE'S BEEN 23 CALLS TO THE ADDRESS, UM, FOR, FOR VARIOUS REASONS. ALL SIMILAR, YOU KNOW, UM, BIG PROBLEM I WOULD SAY IS LIKE DRUG USE. THERE'S ALWAYS USED NEEDLES LAYING AROUND EVERYWHERE, UH, ON THE SIDEWALK IN THE FRONT YARD. I MEAN THAT, YOU KNOW, ANYONE COULD COME ACROSS. UM, BUT I MEAN, PRETTY MUCH IT'S BEEN PRETTY MUCH THE SAME, SAME ISSUES. UM, SECURING IT IS DEFINITELY A GOOD, IS, YOU KNOW, HELPS, BUT IF IT'S NOT KEPT UP, THEN YOU KNOW, IT'LL GO RIGHT BACK. ANY QUESTIONS FROM THE BOARD OF THE OFFICER? UH, THIS IS FRED. THANK YOU GUYS FOR YOUR SERVICE. UM, I NOTICED IN THE NOTES IT SAYS IT'S NOT BY A SCHOOL, BUT IS THIS A TRAFFIC AREA WHERE KIDS WILL, OR DO YOU KNOW THAT? WELL, THERE WAS A, THERE WAS A SCHOOL NEARBY, BUT IT CLOSED DOWN. UH, BUT IT IS CLOSE. IT IS NEAR, UH, THE BIBLIOTECH. UM, IT IS NEAR, I MEAN, I, I WOULD SAY ANY RESIDENTIAL NEIGHBORHOOD WOULDN'T, THIS WOULDN'T BE GOOD FOR RIGHT. BUT I MEAN, IT, IT IS NEAR OTHER, YOU KNOW, LIKE THE BIBLIOTECH IS VERY NICE AND THAT'S NOT TOO FAR AWAY FROM THERE. UM, THE NEIGHBORHOOD ITSELF, HAS IT GOT CHILDREN? OF COURSE, YEAH. MM-HMM . WITHIN THAT AREA, THEY COULD PICK UP THE NEEDLE, DEFINITELY, YES. UH, IT'S A VERY WALKABLE NEIGHBORHOOD. EVERYBODY WALKS, SO, OKAY. SAME PEOPLE THAT YOU'VE BEEN ENCOUNTERING ALL THE TIME OR DIFFERENT ROTATION. THERE'S A GROUP OF SEVERAL OF THE SAME INDIVIDUALS AND THIS IS WHAT THEY DO. THEY FIND VACANT HOMES THAT NO ONE'S PAYING ATTENTION TO. UH, BUT ONCE THOSE INDIVIDUALS GOT OUT, YOU KNOW, IT'S JUST KIND OF A FREE FOR ALL. ANY ANYONE THAT GOES BY AND SEES, THEY KNOW IT'S BEEN, UH, UNATTENDED FOR A LONG TIME, THEY KNOW THAT NO ONE'S PAYING ATTENTION TO IT. SO THEY CAN GET BACK UP IN THERE AND STAY THE NIGHT OR A FEW NIGHTS OR SO. IF WE DON'T GO OUT THERE EVERY DAY AND MAKE SURE, THEN SOMEONE WILL BE MOVING UP IN THERE. AND IN THE COMMUNITY. I, I IMAGINE YOU MAKE, THEY HAVE COMMUNITY MEETINGS. UM, THEY WERE HAVING NEIGHBORHOOD MEETINGS, UH, SORT OF DIDN'T COME BACK TOO GOOD AFTER COVID. UM, BUT YES, IT IS A CONSTANT COMPLAINT FROM NEIGHBORS. SO THE COMPLAINTS OF THIS PROPERTY OR DAILY YES. WHETHER IT BE PEOPLE CALLING US DIRECTLY OR CALLING 3 1 1 3 3 1 1 9 1 1, YOU KNOW? YES. ALRIGHT. YEAH. AND THE PET FIGHT WAS THAT THERE'S KIND ONE OF THEIR PETS OR SOMEBODY THAT WAS ASTRAY? NO, THEY, YOU KNOW, THE PEOPLE THAT COME UP THERE HAVE PETS, HAVE DOGS? YES. OKAY. YEAH. AND WAS IT AN INDIVIDUAL OUTSIDE OF THE PROPERTY THAT WAS BIT, OR WAS IT SOMEBODY ON THE [00:25:01] PROPERTY? I CAN'T TELL YOU FOR SURE, BUT I, I THINK IT WAS SOMEONE OUTSIDE OF THE PROPERTY. THE DOGS RUN LOOSE, YOU KNOW, THEY WEREN'T CONTAINED. YEAH, I THINK THEY'RE JUST RUNNING AROUND PROBABLY. YES. ALRIGHT, THANK YOU. ANY ADDITIONAL QUESTIONS? GO AHEAD. I THINK OFFICER MORALE, LET'S, UH, IT SOUNDS LIKE YOU HAVE TO SPEND QUITE A AMOUNT OF RESOURCES IN ORDER TO SECURE THE PROPERTY. CAN YOU TELL US WHAT NORMALLY HAPPENS, UH, WHEN YOU DO GET A CALL ON THIS ONE GIVEN THAT THE, UM, THAT THERE HAVE BEEN CALLS WITH GUN USE THERE AND RAPE AND PROGRESS? I MEAN, I DON'T THINK IT'S MUCH DIFFERENT THAN A LOT OF OUR OTHER CALLS AND WE NEVER KNOW WHAT WE'RE GOING TO, UH, DUE TO THE TYPE OF PEOPLE. I MEAN, WE, WE ARE DEFINITELY ALWAYS CAUTIOUS. UM, IT DOES TAKE A LOT OF TIME UP BECAUSE WE BUY OUR OWN DRILL AND SCREWS AND WE GO AND WE MAKE SURE WE HAVE TO CLEAR THE BUILDING AGAIN. IF, IF THERE'S SOMETHING THAT'S, IF THERE'S A BOARD THAT'S OFF, WE HAVE TO GO INSIDE, CLEAR THE BUILDING AGAIN TO MAKE SURE NO ONE'S IN THERE, UM, AND THEN COME BACK OUT AND RESECURE UH, THE BUILDING. SO IT DOES, IT IS TIME CONSUMING AND, UM, YOU KNOW, DOING THE SAME THING OVER AND OVER AGAIN. BRIAN, YOU DID SAY WE, HOW MANY RESOURCES DOES IT NORMALLY TAKE TO GET, DO A CALL THERE AT THIS PLACE? UH, USUALLY TWO OF US IF WE'RE GONNA SEARCH THE BUILDING. AT LEAST TWO. TWO? MM-HMM . YEAH. THANK YOU. THANK YOU VERY MUCH. YOU HAVE BE SEATED. THANK YOU.

UH, I ASSIST OFFICER MORALES, UH, NUMEROUS TIMES WITH THIS PARTICULAR LOCATION, UH, MAINLY IN SECURING IT AND THEN GATHERING INFORMATION FOR THE DART TO HELP THE DART OFFICER IN THAT PROCESS. UH, BUT WE'VE CONTINUALLY MADE, UH, REPEATED EFFORTS TO PUT THIS, UH, PARTICULAR LOCATION ON OUR RADAR TO MAKE SURE THAT IT DOESN'T BECOME A REOCCURRING PROBLEM THAT WOULD DRAW ADDITIONAL RESOURCES FROM OUR UNIT, UH, TO MAINTAIN ITS CURRENT STATUS.

MY NAME IS CRYSTAL TOWN, DANGEROUS PREMISE OFFICER FOR THE CITY OF SAN ANTONIO DEVELOPMENT SERVICES DEPARTMENT. THE STRUCTURE BEING PRESENTED TODAY IS LOCATED AT 5 1 4 ALITA STREET WITH A RECOMMENDATION FOR DEMOLITION IN ACCORDANCE WITH CITY CODE ARTICLE EIGHT, CHAPTER SIX. THIS IS THE FIRST TIME 5 1 4 ALITA STREET IS BEING PRESENTED BEFORE THE BOARD. PLEASE NOTE ON SEPTEMBER 10TH, 2024, A DANGEROUS ASSESSMENT RESPONSE TEAM INSPECTION WAS CONDUCTED.

AN AFTER ACTION MEETING WAS HELD AT THE CITY ATTORNEY'S OFFICE WITH IRMA VIA REAL, THE DAUGHTER OF THE DECEASED PROPERTY OWNER. THE INTENTION WAS FOR HER TO, UM, BECOME THE PROPERTY OWNER AND THEN MAKE REPAIRS. WE HAD ORIGINALLY DONE A COMPLIANCE AGREEMENT FOR THE PROPERTY TO BE VACANT FOR THREE MONTHS AND TO BE SECURED AND CLEANED. HOWEVER, HER BROTHER MARK, WHO HAS BEEN ON THE PROPERTY, UM, ALLOWING VAGRANT TO STAY, UM, WHICH WAS ONE OF THE REASONS WHY WE DARTED THE PROPERTY. UM, HE'S NO, HE WILL NOT LEAVE THE PROPERTY. SO HE'S STILL CURRENTLY THERE, UM, ALLOWING VAGRANT TO BE THERE. UM, THE LAST TIME WE WERE ACTUALLY AT THE PROPERTY, THEY MADE ANOTHER ARREST. UM, A WOMAN HAD A WARRANT OUT OF FORT WORTH, SO THEY HAD TO TAKE HER. SO THE PROBLEM IS STILL PROCEEDING.

UM, THERE WERE DIFFERENT INDIVIDUALS FOUND ON THE PROPERTY ALONG, ALONG WITH MARK, THE DECEASED PROPERTY OWNER'S SON, UM, WHO WAS ALLOWING INDIVIDUALS TO STAY OVERNIGHT. SO HERE IS A UP CLOSE PHOTO OF THE FOUNDATION. IT IS A CEDAR, UH, POST AND BEAM FOUNDATION. THE SAIL BEAM IS ROTTED AND IT IS SITTING ON GRADE. THIS IS THE LEFT ELEVATION OF THE STRUCTURE. THE WE PLANK SIDING IS ROTTED. THERE ARE PORTIONS OF THE FASCIA BOARD THAT ARE MISSING. AND HERE IS A CLOSER VIEW OF THE SEAL BEAM. IT IS SITTING ON GRADE AND IT IS TWISTED. HERE IS A CLOSER VIEW UNDERNEATH THE HOME. THE CEDAR POST HAVE SUNK INTO THE GROUND. SO THE FOUNDATION IS SITTING ON GRADE AND THE BEAMS DO HAVE WATER DAMAGE. THIS IS THE REAR PORTION OF THAT LEFT ELEVATION. THIS IS, UH, MULTIPLE ADDITIONS THAT HAVE BEEN ADDED TO THE STRUCTURE WITHOUT PERMITS OBTAINED. SO THIS IS THE REAR ELEVATION OF THE STRUCTURE. THIS IS ANOTHER GOOD VIEW OF THE ADDITION THAT HAS BEEN ADDED. IT IS SITTING ON CINDER BLOCKS AT THIS TIME. SO THIS IS THE BACK RIGHT ELEVATION OF THE STRUCTURE. THE SIDING IS MISSING, SHEATHING IS EXPOSED. IT IS JUST PLYWOOD AT THIS POINT. AND HERE'S A CLOSER VIEW OF THE SEAL BEAM. AGAIN, IT IS SITTING ON GRADE, IT IS ROTTED AND THE CEDAR POSTS ARE LEANING AND SUNK INTO THE GROUND. THIS IS GOING INTO THE FRONT DOOR OF THE STRUCTURE. THERE HAVE BEEN, UM, NEW FLOORS INSTALLED. SO THE SUBFLOOR IS NO LONGER INSTALLED. HOWEVER, THE FLOOR, THE FLOOR COVERING IS UNLEVEL. IT'S UNEVEN. SO IT IS, YOU CAN EASILY TRIP. SO THIS IS THE KITCHEN AREA. ON THE DAY OF THE DART OF SEPTEMBER 10TH, THERE WAS A WINDOW THERE. UM, THEY HAVE PUT A SHEET ROCK IN THE WINDOW TO TRY TO BLOCK THAT OFF BECAUSE THEY DID AN ADDITION BEHIND IT. AND THIS IS ON MARCH 12TH TO 2025. THEY HAVE NOW PUT A, UH, CABINET IN FRONT OF THAT WINDOW AND THE SHEET ROCK DOES HAVE WATER DAMAGE AND IT, THEY'VE PUT TAPE OVER IT TO KEEP THE SHEET ROCK FROM COLLAPSING. SO THIS WAS THE DAY OF THE DART. THIS IS, UM, ONE OF THE ADDITIONS THAT WAS ADDED. AGAIN, NO PERMITS WERE OBTAINED TO DO AN ADDITION OR FOR ANY ELECTRICAL, FOR PLUMBING, FOR NEW WINDOWS OR ANYTHING. SO THIS WAS ON MARCH 12TH. SO NOW MARK HAS ADDED SHEET ROCK TO TRY TO CLOSE OFF THE ENTRY INTO THE SECOND PORTION OF THE ADDITION. AGAIN, NO PERMITS ADDED FOR ANY ELECTRICAL ADDING, UH, SHEET ROCK BUILDING, NEW WALLS OR ANYTHING. SO THIS WAS ON SEPTEMBER 10TH, 2024. THIS IS THAT, UH, REAR ADDITION THAT THEY BUILT. IT WAS GOING TO BE A BEDROOM AND THERE IS A BATHROOM THAT WAS ADDED. A TOILET AND SHOWER WAS ADDED. AND THIS IS MARCH 12TH, 2025. UM, HE HAS NOW REMOVED THE SHOWER AND THE TOILET AGAIN. THAT NEW PLUMBING WAS ADDED TO HAVE THE SHOWER AND TOILET AND NO PERMIT WAS OBTAINED TO HAVE THAT INSTALLED. AND HERE'S A CLOSER VIEW OF THE WOODEN STUD THAT HAS BEEN INSTALLED TO TRY TO MAKE THAT NEW WALL. IT IS TWISTING. SO THIS IS THE BATHROOM AND THE, THE MAIN PORTION OF THE STRUCTURE. ON SEPTEMBER 10TH, 2025, UH, THE BATHTUB IS SINKING INTO THE FLOOR. AND THIS IS MARCH 12TH, 2025. THE BATHROOM SINK HAS BEEN REMOVED AND AGAIN, NO PERMITS HAVE BEEN OBTAINED FOR ANY WORK THAT'S BEING DONE AT THIS PROPERTY. SO THIS WAS TAKEN ON SEPTEMBER 10TH, 2024. THIS WAS A BEDROOM THAT'S PART OF THE MAIN STRUCTURE. THE, UH, INDIVIDUAL MADE A SECOND ENTRY TO THE REAR PROPERTY FROM THE CLOSET. AND THIS IS ON MARCH 12TH, 2025. UM, THAT ENTRY HAS NOW BEEN CLOSED OFF. THIS IS ON SEPTEMBER 10TH, 2024 SHOWING THAT, UM, ENTRY GOING OUT TO THE BACKYARD THROUGH THE CLOSET. AND IT IS BLOCKED. AND THIS IS FROM MARCH 12TH, 2025. IT HAS NOW BEEN, UM, BOARDED UP WITH PLYWOOD, BUT THERE IS STILL A LARGE AMOUNT OF ITEMS BLOCKING THAT WAY IN ORDER TO EXIT. SO THIS AGAIN [00:40:01] WAS ON MARCH 12TH, 2025. THOSE WERE THE INDIVIDUALS THAT WERE INSIDE, UM, THAT WAS CLEARED BY SAPD BEFORE I ENTERED THE STRUCTURE. THE STRUCTURE LOCATED AT 5 1 4 ALITA STREET IS IN VIOLATION OF CITY CODE ARTICLE EIGHT, CHAPTER 6, 1 56 SUBSECTIONS 1, 2, 8, 11, 12, 15, 17, AND 18 FOR 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 TO PUBLIC HEALTH, SAFETY AND WELFARE. PROVIDED THAT SUCH CONDITIONS OF DEFECTS OF DILAPIDATION, SUCH AS STANDARD OR IN FITNESS FOR HUMAN HABITATION POSE A THREAT OR POTENTIAL THREAT TO LIFE, HEALTH, PROPERTY, OR HUMAN SAFETY STAFF RECOMMENDS DEMOLITION AND FOR THE PROPERTY TO BE VACATED. THAT CONCLUDES MY PRESENTATION OF 5 1 4 ALTA CITA STREET. QUESTIONS OF THE CODE OFFICER? THERE ARE NONE. YOU MAY BE SEAT. OH, EXCUSE ME. I WANNA MAKE SURE EVERYBODY GETS THERE BEFORE. OKAY. UM, THIS IS FRED ANDES. WHEN YOU WENT OUT THERE AND THE BROTHER OF THE DECEASED, IS HE STILL LIVING ON THE PROPERTY? IT'S THE SON OF THE DECEASED PROPERTY SON? YES. THE BROTHER OF THE DAUGHTER WHO WANTED TO TAKE OWNERSHIP OF THE PROPERTY. OH, OKAY. YES. MY MY MY MISTAKE ON THAT. ARE THEY, IS HE STILL OCCUPYING THE PROPERTY? YES, HE IS. EVERY TIME I GO TO THE PROPERTY, HE'S THERE. HE STATES HE'S NOT LIVING THERE. BUT IT'S KIND OF HARD TO ARGUE WHEN I GO AT DIFFERENT TIMES OF THE DAY. AND HE'S ALWAYS THERE WITH OTHER, WITH OTHER INDIVIDUALS AND THEY'RE ALWAYS DIFFERENT. NOW IT SAYS IN THE RECORD HERE, 50,000 FEET FROM THE SCHOOL. YES. IS THIS AREA A HIGH TRAFFIC AREA FOR CHILDREN TO WALK TO SCHOOL OR? NO. SO THIS STRUCTURE IS LOCATED ACTUALLY AT A DEAD END. IT'S THE SECOND TO THE LAST STREET. HOWEVER, THERE ARE BUSINESSES THAT ARE ON THE OPPOSITE SIDE OF THE STREET. UM, IT IS FACING COMMERCE. SO THERE'S A BURGER KING AND THERE'S SOME OTHER RESTAURANTS. I KNOW THERE'S A, A MEXICAN RESTAURANT THERE AS WELL CLOSE TO THERE, UM, IN A STRIP MALL THAT IS CLOSE TO THERE. SO THESE INDIVIDUALS ARE BEING VISUAL SEEN BY CUSTOMERS OF ALL THESE BUSINESSES, THE ORIGINAL HOUSE, HOW MUCH OF IT WAS ADDED BE, UH, IN THE PHOTOS? I DON'T LIKE, SOMETIMES THEY TAKE THE AERIAL PHOTO OF ABOVE. MM-HMM . HOW MUCH WAS ADDED TO THE ORIGINAL HOUSE. SO THE PHOTO THAT SHOWED THE REAR LEFT RIGHT? UH, YEAH, THE REAR LEFT ELEVATION, THAT WAS WHAT WAS ADDED. SO IT WAS TWO ROOMS AND A BATHROOM. SO YOU WOULD, WOULD THAT BE KIND OF LIKE, BECAUSE IT, THIS IS A SMALL HOUSE, CORRECT? OR? YES. BUT IT WASN'T A SHOTGUN? NO. SO THEY MADE IT INTO PRETTY MUCH A SHOTGUN HOUSE. CORRECT. SO PROBABLY 200 FEET SQUARE. WAS THAT IT? OR LESS? UM, IF YOU'RE LOOKING AT THE PHOTOS, IT'S PROBABLY, IT WOULD PROBABLY BE ROUGHLY AROUND 600 SQUARE FEET. THAT WAS PROBABLY ADDED SIX. YES. THAT'S ALMOST HALF A HOUSE. YES. IT IT, IT EQUALS UP TO ABOUT THE AMOUNT OF THE WHOLE HOUSE. YES. WITHOUT PERMIT. WITHOUT PERMITS, THERE WAS NO PERMITS OBTAINED FOR BUILDING NEW WALLS. FOR THE ELECTRICAL, FOR PLUMBING, I, I DIDN'T SEE A SHOT. NORMALLY LIKE YOU DO THE SIDE SHOTS, THE, UH, GRADES OF THE METER, SO THE METER'S ACTUALLY ON THE RIGHT ELEVATION. UM, AND THERE IS NO METER BUT THE METER BOX YES, THE METER BOX IS ON THE, AND, AND THE MAIN CIRCUIT BOX. YES. ARE THEY OLD? HAVEN'T BEEN CHANGED OUT OR THEY HAVE NOT BEEN CHANGED OUT. SO THAT MEANS IT'S NOT PROPERLY WIRED CORRECT. FOR THE AMOUNT? IT, IT'S NOT, YES. ANY NEW ELECTRICAL THAT WOULD BE DONE, IT WOULD NOT BE UP TO CODE. RIGHT. BECAUSE IT'S PROBABLY A HUNDRED AMP INSTEAD OF A TWO. OH, OKAY. ALRIGHT, THANK YOU. GO AHEAD. SO I JUST WANNA CONFIRM UTILITIES ARE ON OR OFF OF THIS. UTILITIES ARE OFF, UH, BOTH CPS ENERGY AND SAN ANTONIO WATER SYSTEMS CONFIRMED PRIOR TO THE DART INSPECTION THAT UM, BOTH WERE CURRENTLY INACTIVE. AND THEN JUST SO I CAN, UM, PUT TOGETHER THE TREE PROPERTY RECORDS SHOW THAT IT'S RICHARD GUZMAN JR. WHO IS THE OWNER, I GUESS THE DECEASED OWNER. CORRECT. AND THE DAUGHTER'S NAME IS IRMA RIEL. AND THE SON WHO'S LIVING THERE? MARK GUZMAN. AND, [00:45:01] AND THEN, UM, THE, I SEE THAT ONE NOTICE WAS GIVEN TO A GUZMAN JR AT 7 0 0 2 LEY RIDGE. HOW DID WE GET THAT ADDRESS? SO TITLE SEARCHES GET DONE, UM, PRIOR TO COMING TO THE HEARING, SO HOWEVER THE TITLE SEARCH POPS UP WITH NAMES THAT MAY HAVE BEEN RELATED TO THE PROPERTY OWNER AT ONE POINT IN TIME. A NOTICE IS MAILED OUT TO EVERYONE TO MAKE SURE THAT EVERYONE GETS A FAIR OPPORTUNITY TO COME TO SPEAK. PERFECT. THANK YOU. YOU'RE WELCOME. ANY OTHER QUESTIONS? THANK YOU VERY MUCH. THANK YOU OFFICER ANTHONY PENA, IF YOU WOULD PLEASE FLIP OVER. STATE YOUR NAME, SIR AND YOUR STATION. GOOD MORNING BOARD OFFICER ANTHONY PENA, UH, FROM THE WEST SAFE UNIT. JUST WANNA THANK Y'ALL FOR Y'ALL'S SERVICE FOR BEING HERE TODAY. I'M HERE TO SPEAK ON BEHALF OF, UH, FIVE 14 TITA. UH, OVER THE LAST TWO YEARS, UM, THERE'S BEEN OVER 50 CALLS FOR SERVICE TO THIS LOCATION. UM, A LOT OF THESE CALLS FOR SERVICE RANGE FROM DISTURBANCES, UM, AND THEN WENT FROM DISTURBANCES TO DISTURBANCES WITH KNIVES, KNIVES, GUNS, ASSAULTS IN PROGRESS, UM, RECOVERED STOLEN PROPERTY AND WANTED PERSONS NARCOTICS. UM, COMPLAINTS FROM THE NEIGHBORHOOD ALSO CAME IN AS WELL. UM, A LOT OF, I KNOW THAT THE UTILITIES WERE CUT OFF, HOWEVER, THEY WERE RUNNING EXTENSION CORDS, UM, FROM THE BURGER KING, UM, FROM TO THEIR HOUSE. UH, AND I KNOW AT TIMES I BELIEVE THEY EVEN, UH, TURNED THE WATER, BROKE THE LOCK TO TURN THE WATER BACK ON. UH, THOSE ARE JUST THE SMALL COMPLAINTS THAT WE GOT AS FAR AS THE CRIMINAL ELEMENT. UM, IN MARCH OF, UH, 24, UH, OUR COVERT UNIT STARTED WATCHING THE, UH, STARTED WATCHING THE HOUSE. AND ON THAT, UH, IN MARCH, UM, THEY REQUESTED US TO GO OUT THERE AND KIND OF HELP THEM OUT AS FAR AS, UH, MAKING TRAFFIC STOPS ON ONE PARTICULAR STOP. UM, THERE WAS A ONE, THEY, UH, WERE ABLE TO, UH, PULL SOMEBODY OVER AND THEY WERE PULLED OVER FOR NARCOTICS AND THEY WERE SEEN COMING FROM THE HOUSE PULLED OVER FOR NARCOTICS, WHICH WOUND UP BEING HEROIN, AND THEY HAD WARRANTS. SO THEY WERE OBVIOUSLY ARRESTED THAT DAY. ON THE, UH, ON THE DAY OF THE DARK, WHICH WAS, UH, IN SEPTEMBER OF 24. UM, MARK GUZMAN, WHO WAS OBVIOUSLY OCCUPYING THE HOUSE AS THE QUOTE UNQUOTE OWNER, UH, HE WAS ARRESTED FOR, FOR NARCOTICS, UM, AS WELL AS, UH, AS WELL AS WARRANTS WHEN WE REINSPECTED, UH, RECENTLY, UM, WHERE WE FOUND MARK BACK AT THE HOUSE, UH, WITH SOME DIFFERENT INDIVIDUALS. UH, ONE OF THOSE INDIVIDUALS HAPPENED TO, UH, HAVE WARRANTS FOR, UM, FAILING TO REGISTER AS A SEX OFFENDER. NOW, I DON'T, I DON'T KNOW THE SPECIFICS OF IT, BUT OBVIOUSLY, UM, THAT'S WHAT THE WARRANT CAME OUT FOR. SINCE THE DAY OF THE DARK IN, UH, SEPTEMBER, THERE'S BEEN OVER 25 CALLS FOR SERVICE, UH, TO DATE. AND AGAIN, YOU KNOW, THOSE CALLS FOR SERVICE, YOU KNOW, RANGE FROM, YOU KNOW, AS I DESCRIBED EARLIER, UM, SOME OF THE, UH, SOME OF THE ARRESTS THAT SOME OF THE STUFF THAT WERE FOUND AS FAR AS STOLEN, UH, STOLEN PROPERTY WERE STOLEN VEHICLES THAT WERE FOUND ON THE PROPERTY AND IN FRONT OF THE PROPERTY, WHICH IS WHY OUR COVERT UNIT, UM, AS WELL AS OUR AUTO THEFT UNIT KIND OF GOT INVOLVED IN LOOKING AT THE HOUSE. OUTSIDE OF THAT, LIKE I SAID, UM, YOU KNOW, JUST, JUST THE MULTIPLE ARRESTS THAT, THAT WE'VE MADE. UM, SOME OF THE WARRANTS THAT WE'VE HAD WERE REGARDED, FAMILY VIOLENCE, STALKING, UH, TERROR, SUGGESTED FAMILY. I DON'T REALLY HAVE A, HAVE MUCH MORE. THANK YOU, SIR. ANY QUESTIONS OF THE OFFICER COMMENT? THANK YOU, SIR. THANK YOU, SIR. YES, MA'AM. NO, GO AHEAD. YOU SAID STALKING? MM-HMM . IT WAS BEING STALKED OR NOT?

THE, LIKE I SAID, THE, JUST THE INDIVIDUALS THAT WERE, THAT WERE FOUND, UH, HAD THAT WARRANT. AS FAR AS IT BEING RELATED TO THE PROPERTY, I DON'T, I DON'T KNOW THE SPECIFICS OF THE, OF THE WARRANT ITSELF. UM, HOW LONG HAVE YOU HAVE BEEN ARRESTED ON, UM, ON THAT PROPERTY? UM, I'M GONNA SAY, YOU KNOW, I DON'T, I DON'T HAVE THE TOTAL, TOTAL NUMBERS. UM, I'M GONNA SAY PROBABLY BETWEEN FIVE, FIVE AND SEVEN. UM, ANYTIME THAT WE'VE ENCOUNTERED, UM, WHETHER IT'S US GOING OUT THERE WITH CODE [00:50:01] COMPLIANCE, UM, OR OUR COVERT UNITS ASSISTING OUR COVERT UNITS. IS THAT FIVE AND SEVEN TOTAL, OR FIVE AND SEVEN PER VISIT? NO, NO, NO. TOTAL . ANY OTHER QUESTIONS? THANK YOU, SIR. YOU MAY BE SEATED. THANK YOU. CHAIRMAN, ENTERTAINED A MOTION ON THE PROPERTY. OH, EXCUSE ME, I'M SORRY. YOU'RE RIGHT. I HAVE ONE MORE WITNESS. MARY GUZMAN, IF YOU WOULD PLEASE COME FORWARD. I APOLOGIZE FOR RUSHING THROUGH IT. AND IF YOU WOULD PLEASE MA'AM, GIVE US YOUR HOME ADDRESS. PLEASE, MA'AM, YOU CAN ADJUST THE MIC. DO I STILL OH, OKAY. UM, YES. MY ADDRESS IS 3 1 1 8 ECHO DRIVE IN GRAND PRAIRIE, TEXAS. THANK YOU, MA'AM. GO AHEAD AND GIVE US YOUR TESTIMONY, PLEASE. OKAY. UH, YES, MY NAME IS. THANK YOU ALL FOR YOUR TIME FIRST AND ALLOWING US TO SAY OUR PART. UM, MY NAME IS MARY LUMAN AND I AM, UH, I HAVE A BROTHER AND SISTER HERE, AND WE HAVE ANOTHER BROTHER AND SISTER THAT WE'RE UNABLE TO COME. AND WE WERE ALL COMING TOGETHER BECAUSE WE, WE LIVE IN, UM, THE DALLAS-FORT WORTH AREA. WE WERE UNAWARE OF ANYTHING THAT WAS MENTIONED HERE TODAY UNTIL JUST A COUPLE OF DAYS AGO IS WHEN IRMA, MY NIECE ELLE, IS, UH, CONTACTED US AND TOLD US WHAT WAS GOING ON AND JUST SAID THAT, UM, I GUESS IT'S TOO MUCH FOR HER, JUST HER AND US BEING THE DECEASED, UH, RICARDO RESPONSES, BROTHERS AND SISTERS SEE IF WE WANTED TO DO ANYTHING ABOUT IT. AND THEY WOULD GIVE US THE, UH, PROPERTY TO DO WITH IT, WHATEVER WE WANTED TO. SO THIS IS WHY WE'RE HERE AND WE ARE UNAWARE OF ANYTHING THAT I JUST CONTACTED, UM, MS. TOWN AND, UM, ASKED HER AND SHE TOLD ME A LITTLE BIT OF WHAT WAS GOING ON. AND, UM, THAT WAS A SHOCK TO US. AND EVEN MORE SO, A LOT OF THINGS THAT WERE MENTIONED BY, BY HER TODAY. UM, WE GREW UP IN THAT HOUSE. WE'VE MOVED AWAY FOR MANY YEARS NOW. BUT, UH, MY BROTHER, RICARDO HUSMAN LIVED HERE AND HE, WHEN MY MOM PASSED AWAY, HE REMAINED HERE IN THAT HOUSE AND HE'S PASSED AWAY FIVE YEARS AGO. SO AFTER THAT, WE PRETTY MUCH, AND WE TAKE RESPONSIBILITY THAT WE DIDN'T KEEP IN TOUCH. UM, WE WERE UNAWARE OF EVERY, EVERYTHING THAT WAS GOING ON. SO WE WERE JUST THINKING, FAMILY LIVES THERE, THINGS ARE TAKEN CARE OF. NOBODY CONTACTED US SAYING, HEY, YOU KNOW, WE NEED HELP WITH THE ROOF. WE NEED HELP OR, YOU KNOW, THIS IS GOING ON. UM, ANYTHING THAT WAS GOING ON, ESPECIALLY THE, THE LEGAL STUFF. UM, SO WE DIDN'T KNOW ANY OF THAT. AND NOBODY CONTACTED, CONTACTED US WITH HELP. IF THAT HAD HAPPENED, THERE'S FIVE OF US, WE CERTAINLY WOULD'VE HELPED. IT'S OUR HOUSE WHERE WE GREW UP IN AND WE DIDN'T KNOW ALL THESE. I PERSONALLY EVEN DIDN'T KNOW ABOUT THE ADDITIONS TO THE HOUSE. UM, SO WE DIDN'T KNOW ANYTHING. UH, BUT THAT DOESN'T GET, IT'S NOT OUR FULL EXCUSE, IT'S JUST THAT WE DIDN'T, WE DON'T, WELL, YOU DON'T KNOW WHAT YOU DON'T KNOW. SO WE CAME TOGETHER IN A MEETING AND WE WOULD, UH, LIKE TO PLEAD AND APPRECIATE IF WE WOULD GIVE, UH, GET MORE TIME TO BE ABLE TO BRING THE HOUSE UP TO STANDARD TO CODES. UM, FIX IT, MAKE IT LIVABLE, MAKE IT NICE AGAIN TO LOOK, WE UNDERSTAND TOO, WE WANT THE NEIGHBORHOOD, THAT STREET TO LOOK GOOD. THIS, THAT'S HOW WE WERE WHEN WE WERE GROWING UP. WE WOULD, YOU KNOW, CUT THE GRASS, TRIM THE HEDGES, PAINT THE, EVERYTHING THAT NEEDED TO BE DONE TO KEEP IT UP AS POOR AS WE WERE, WE WOULD MANAGE TO KEEP THE HOUSE AS GOOD AS IT COULD BE. UM, SO WE KNOW THAT IT WOULD MAKE THE NEIGHBORHOOD LOOK GOOD TOO. IF EVERY HOUSE THERE WOULD KEEP UP. IT WOULDN'T BE SUCH A ATTRACTION FOR DRUG ADDICTS, DRUG DEALERS, UH, ANY KIND OF, YOU KNOW, BREAKING THE LAW. IT WOULDN'T ATTRACT THOSE KIND OF PEOPLE. AND THAT'S WHAT WE WOULD [00:55:01] LIKE TO BE A PART OF. NOT ONLY BECAUSE WE GREW UP IN IT AND THAT'S A, UH, I'M SURE YOU UNDERSTAND THAT SENTIMENTAL FEELING. BUT, UM, ALSO WE UNDERSTAND THE SIDE, THE LEGAL SIDE, THE, THE CITY ASPECT, YOUR, YOUR POSITIONS THAT A HOUSE MUST BE MAINTAINED. A HOUSE HAS TO BE WORKING, IT HAS TO HAVE, UM, IT HAS TO BE SAFE. SO WE WOULD LIKE TO DO THAT. NOW THAT WE KNOW THAT IT'S NOT IN COMPLIANCE, UM, WE WOULD RESPECT AND, AND COMPLY WITH YOUR DECISION. BUT WE CAME HERE ALMOST UNPREPARED. MONDAY IS THE FIRST DAY THAT I TALKED TO CRYSTAL AND SHE TOLD ME ABOUT THOSE, UM, YOU KNOW, BRINGING, UH, THAT YOU COULD, UH, CONTACTED A, A CONTRACTOR, ALL THOSE RULES. WE DIDN'T. AND WE OBVIOUSLY, WE DIDN'T HAVE ANY ENOUGH TIME, ESPECIALLY NOT LIVING IN THE CITY, BUT IF WE WERE GIVEN TIME, WE CAN MAKE THOSE PREPARATIONS, THOSE PLANS TO BE ABLE TO COME OUT HERE. WE HAVEN'T EVEN SEEN THE HOUSE. WE WERE, WE WERE GOING RIGHT AFTER WE COME HERE BECAUSE THIS WAS FIRST THING AND WE JUST GOT HERE AT TWO O'CLOCK THIS MORNING. SO WE WOULD LIKE TO GO LOOK AT THE HOUSE. WE SAW THE PICTURES AND . BUT, YOU KNOW, I'D ALSO LIKE TO MAKE NOTES ON EVERYTHING. I TRIED TO MAKE NOTES AS CRYSTAL WAS MENTIONING EVERYTHING THAT WAS WRONG WITH IT. BUT OF COURSE, YOU KNOW, WHEN WE CAN GET MORE TIME ACTUALLY SEE STUFF WE NEED TO KNOW, YOU KNOW, THINGS WE, WE NEED TO GET OUT, THINGS THAT NEED TO BE TAKEN DOWN, WHATEVER NEEDS TO BE DONE, BUT WE NEED TO GO LOOK AT IT. WE HADN'T DONE THAT SINCE MY BROTHER PASSED AWAY FIVE YEARS AGO. AND WE JUST THOUGHT, YOU KNOW, WHOEVER STAYED THERE WAS KEEPING IT UP. LIKE HE WAS, YOU KNOW, WE DIDN'T KNOW ABOUT ALL THESE, YOU KNOW, ANYTHING GOING ON WITH IT. SO THAT'S OUR PLEA TODAY IS THAT WE JUST GET GIVEN MORE TIME BECAUSE FIRST OF ALL, WE LIVE OUT OF, FOR, OUT OF SAN ANTONIO. SO IT'S NOT EASY FOR US. LIKE WE CAN'T SAY, OH, YOU KNOW, WE'LL BE THERE EVERY DAY DOING SOMETHING, BUT WE WILL CERTAINLY TRY BETWEEN ALL OF US. YOU KNOW, MAYBE SOME CAN COME THIS WEEK, MAYBE SOMEBODY CAN COME, YOU KNOW, NEXT WEEK OR WORK TOGETHER TO, TO TRY AND FIX IT AND GET IT DONE. RIGHT. BUT WE, LEMME ASK YOU A FEW QUESTIONS ABOUT ME. MM-HMM . SURE. UH, FIRST QUESTION IS, DO YOU THINK YOU'LL HAVE THE ABILITY TO TAKE CONTROL OF MARK IN ANY WAY? YES, WE WOULD HAVE TO. I MEAN, NOBODY'S TOLD THEM TO LEAVE FAMILY MEMBERS. NOBODY'S TOLD THEM TO LEAVE. AND CAN YOU TELL US WHAT YOU WOULD DO IN THAT, IN THAT PARTICULAR THING? IT WOULD GIVE SOME IDEAS OF WHAT YOU MIGHT DO TO KEEP CONTROL OF HIM. WELL, FIRST OF ALL, HE'S OUR NEPHEW, RIGHT? SO, YOU KNOW, THAT IT'S DIFFICULT TO WHO, WHO WOULD BE THAT, UM, CRUEL TO WANT TO JUST THROW SOMEBODY OUT. SO WE WOULD HAVE TO HELP HIM FIND ANOTHER PLACE. I DON'T KNOW HOW THAT WOULD BE. I MEAN, I WOULD GET ON THE PHONE CONTACT PLACES THAT, YOU KNOW, WOULD MAYBE HELP HIM, UH, UH, BETTER HIMSELF WHILE THEY HELP HIM FIND SOME, YOU KNOW, WORK SOMEWHERE TO STAY. WE WOULD, BUT WE WOULDN'T JUST THROW HIM OUT. WE WOULD HAVE TO HELP HIM FIND SOMEWHERE TO GO. AND IF HE HAS SOMEWHERE TO GO, HE WON'T BE HERE ANYMORE. YOU KNOW, AT LEAST I FEEL, AND I THINK THAT THAT WOULD BE THE CASE. UM, YOU KNOW, WE PRAY TO GOD, WE'LL PUT IT ALL IN GOD'S HANDS AND ASK HIM TO GUIDE US AND, AND HELP US AS HOW WE'VE, WE'VE MADE IT HERE SO FAR, YOU KNOW, WITH GOD'S ASSISTANCE, HIS, HIS WILL. SO WE WOULDN'T JUST THROW HIM OUT, BUT WE WOULD TELL HIM HE HAS TO GO. BUT WE, YOU KNOW, WHEN YOU HAVE A PROBLEM, YOU BRING A SOLUTION AS WELL, OR A COUPLE OF IDEAS. SO WE WOULD HAVE TO TRY AND, YOU KNOW, EVEN IF IT'S WITH HIS SISTER IRMA, HE WAS THERE WITH HER FOR A WHILE. SO, UM, YOU KNOW, MAYBE HE'D GO BACK, BUT SINCE HE, THAT HOUSE, YOU KNOW, IT'S LIKE ATTRACTING ALL THESE PEOPLE. BUT IF IT'S NICE AND FIXED AND ALL THAT, YOU KNOW, IT MIGHT DETER THEM FROM, AND WE WOULD DO OTHER THINGS AS WELL. LIKE AT THE END, AFTER, IF IT'S FIXED AND EVERYTHING, WE WOULD PUT INSTALL CAMERAS, YOU KNOW, DO DO WHAT WE CAN TO, TO, WE WOULDN'T WANT TO REBUILD THE HOUSE JUST SO THAT DRUG ADDICTS CAN COME TO A REMODELED HOME. AND WHO WOULD BE THE PROJECT MANAGER TO TAKE CARE OR BE RESPONSIBLE FOR ALL THE REPAIRS? IT WOULD HAVE TO BE A COLLABORATION OF, I DO, WE DO HAVE FAMILY MEMBERS THAT, UH, KNOW MY [01:00:01] BROTHER DOES ALL KINDS OF, UH, REMODELING, UH, SURFACING, UH, RESURFACING. HE KNOWS A LOT OF CONTRACTORS. HE'S BEEN IN THE BUSINESS FOR, I DON'T KNOW, OVER 20 YEARS. IS HE, IS HE LOCAL OR IS HE ALSO NO, UNFOR. THAT'S THE ONLY UNFORTUNATE THING IS THAT WE'RE ALL IN, IN THE DALLAS-FORT WORTH AREA AND THE REPAIRS ARE GONNA BE, WOULD BE SUBSTANTIAL. DO YOU HAVE ANY INFORMATION THAT YOU COULD SHOW THE BOARD ABOUT YOUR FINANCIAL ABILITY TO MAKE THOSE REPAIRS? NO, I'M JUST SO SORRY. WE JUST DIDN'T HAVE THE TIME TO GATHER UP ANYTHING BEFORE COMING, YOU KNOW, AND SO NOT RIGHT NOW. I MEAN, WE CAN GATHER EVERYTHING. WE JUST NEED THE TIME. OUR TIME IS NOT ON OUR SIDE FOR THIS RIGHT NOW. OKAY, THANK YOU. ANY OTHER QUESTIONS FOR THE BOARD? GO AHEAD KIA. HELLO COURTNEY. UM, I SEE ON PROPERTY RECORDS THAT, UM, IN DECEMBER OF 2004 THAT I GUZMAN SOLD THE PROPERTY TO, UM, INVESTMENT AND THAT THEY OWNED IT UNTIL 2017, THAT IT WENT BACK TO RICHARD GUZMAN JR. YES, THAT'S ANOTHER THING. WE WERE NOT AWARE THAT IT WAS UNDER HIS NAME. ONLY WE, WE, I DON'T KNOW HOW THAT HAPPENED, BUT I KNOW, I MEAN, WE JUST ASSUMED THAT IT WAS UNDER ALL OF US AFTER MY MOM PASSED AWAY. YOU KNOW, IT GOES TO ALL THE CHILDREN. SO, AND THAT'S ANOTHER THING WE'D HAVE TO GET, UM, MY BROTHER'S CHILDREN TO, TO SIGN IT OVER TO US. AND THERE'S, THERE'S NO PROBLEM WITH THAT. BUT WE, THAT'S ANOTHER STEP WE DO HAVE TO DO IS PUT IT UNDER OUR NAMES AND IT WOULD BE ALL OF US, WE, YOU KNOW, TOGETHER. AND THEN HOW MUCH MONEY ARE YOU GUYS WILLING TO SPEND ON THIS PROJECT? WELL, THAT'S DIFFICULT TO SAY BECAUSE WE'D HAVE NO ESTIMATE RIGHT NOW AS TO HOW MUCH IT IS. BUT IS YOUR BROTHER WHO'S A CONTRACTOR SITTING BEHIND YOU? YES, MY BROTHER ROBERT. ROBERT, CAN YOU TELL THE PICTURES YOU SAW? I CAN GO UP THERE. NO, I ASK YOU HOW MUCH IT'S, UH, ACTUALLY, IF YOU WOULD PLEASE, IF YOU'RE GONNA SPEAK, YOU HAVE TO COME TO THE PODIUM. IF YOU WOULD STATE YOUR NAME AND YOUR ADDRESS PLEASE, SIR. OKAY. MY NAME'S ROBERT GUZMAN AND MY ADDRESS IS TWO 81ST WHEEL LOOP, DECATUR, TEXAS, WHICH IS NORTH OF FORT WORTH. UM, I GUESS SO WHAT WAS YOUR QUESTION? SO BASED ON THE PICTURES THAT YOU SAW IN YOUR CONSTRUCTION EXPERIENCE, OBVIOUSLY WOULD NOT BE AN EXACT ESTIMATE, BUT IF YOU WERE GONNA DO A BALLPARK OR A HOUSE THAT'S SITTING ON HER UNIT, I WANNA SAY ALL THE ELECTRICAL REDONE, IT MEANS DEMO WITH A BACK TWO UNITS, UNITS AND PROPER PERMITS FOR EVERYTHING. TO BE HONEST, IT'S GONNA, I BELIEVE IT'S GONNA BE FROM 20 TO 25 TO 30,000. BUT MOST OF THAT WORK I CAN BRING MY CREW. 'CAUSE I GOT TWO CREWS IN THE DALLAS FORT WORTH AREA AND THAT'S WHAT WE DO, WE REMODEL. SO I'M WILLING TO COME OVER AND BRING MY CREW AND STAY FOR A FEW WEEKS OR A COUPLE WEEKS OR WHATEVER IT TAKES TO DO SOME WORK, MOST OF THE WORK, AND THEN COME BACK AND A WEEK LATER, BECAUSE I GOTTA THINK ABOUT THEM TO, THEY MIGHT WANNA GO TO THEIR FAMILY OR SO, BUT BY THE PICTURES, I WANNA SAY AT LEAST 2020 G. AND, UM, WE HAD TALKED ABOUT REBUILDING THE PROPERTY AND NOT WANTING VAS TO COME BACK IN. SO WHAT IS THE PLAN OF THE PROPERTY ONCE IT'S REBUILT? THE, HONESTLY THE PLAN WAS AT FIRST OUR, OUR MOM, OUR MOTHER WANTED US TO KEEP THE HOUSE SO WE CAN HAVE A PLACE WHENEVER WE COME TO SAN ANTONIO TO HAVE. BUT I WAS TELLING MY SISTERS, I DON'T THINK MY MOM KNEW HOW THE NEIGHBORHOOD WAS GONNA BE IN THE FUTURE BECAUSE IT WAS NOT LIKE THAT. NOW YOU SEE ALL THESE KIND OF PEOPLE, UM, DRUNK ADDICTS AND STUFF AROUND THE CORNER AND THEY'RE NOT JUST IN THAT ONE HOUSE. THEY'RE DOWN THE STREET RIGHT AT THE CORNER AND FIVE HOUSES DOWN. THEY'RE LIKE, JUST ALRIGHT THERE. AND SO I WAS TELLING MY, MY FAMILY MEMBERS, MY BROTHER, MY SIBLINGS, I DON'T THINK MOM WANTED US TO LIVE LIKE THIS IN A PLACE LIKE THIS. SHE DIDN'T KNOW IT WAS GONNA TURN NOW TO BE LIKE THIS. SO HONESTLY, WE WERE THINKING MAYBE FIXING IT UP AND MAYBE JUST SELLING IT AND THEN DIVIDE OUR, OUR PARTIAL WHATEVER WE CAN DIVIDE. SO YOU BELIEVE THAT THE PROPERTY VALUE, ONCE FIXED UP, WILL BE A PROFIT FROM THE AMOUNT OF MONEY [01:05:01] THAT YOU PUT INTO IT? YES, BECAUSE MAINLY EVERY, ANY PROPERTY THAT YOU'RE GONNA INVEST IN, IT GOES UP THE, THE VALUE OF THE PROPERTY. AND, AND WITH MY NEPHEW, I WANNA SAY HE HAD GONE TO MY NIECES TO HIS SISTER FOR A MONTH OR SO, BUT HE DID COME BACK. I DO KNOW THAT. SO, AND MY NEPHEW LOOKS UP TO ME LIKE, LIKE ALMOST HIS DAD SINCE HIS DAD PASSED AWAY. SO, AND HE'S, YOU KNOW, HE'LL, HE'S ALWAYS LISTENING TO ME. SO I WOULD HAVE TO TALK TO, I THINK I CAN GET HIM TO GO BACK TO HIS SISTER OR GET HIM TO SOME KIND OF PROGRAM OR SOMETHING, BUT I JUST HAVEN'T REALLY TALKED TO HIM BECAUSE LIKE MY SISTER SAID, WE DIDN'T KNOW ANYTHING THAT WAS GOING ON. UM, AND ACTUALLY AFTER MY BROTHER PASSED AWAY, MY, UH, MY SISTER, MY SISTER-IN-LAW STAYED AT THE HOUSE. SO IT WASN'T JUST LIKE HE STAYED THERE. SO THAT'S WHY AFTER SHE MOVED OUT AFTER MAYBE TWO, THREE YEARS AGO, THAT'S WHEN THE PROBLEM WAS STARTED TO, BECAUSE OF MY NEPHEW AND HIS FRIENDS. BUT AT FIRST, AND IT WAS MY OWN SISTER-IN-LAW THAT WOULD CALL THE, THE, UH, DEPARTMENT, THE POLICE DEPARTMENT. SO WHAT I'M HEARING IS THAT YOUR SISTER-IN-LAW WAS NOT ABLE TO, UM, PROTECT THE HOUSE FROM HER SON. UH, STEPSON. STEPSON, YES. AND REQUIRED POLICE ASSISTANCE. BUT YOU FEEL THAT YOU LIVING IN DALLAS AND COMING DALLAS SOMETIMES WILL BE ABLE TO HELP HIM? YES. AND THAT'S PROBABLY THE FIRST THING. IF WE GET IT, IF WE GET MORE TIME WITH THIS HOUSE, THAT'S THE FIRST THING WE'RE GONNA GO DO. LOOK AT THE HOUSE AND TALK. GO TALK TO HIM. THANK YOU. MM-HMM . AND REGARDLESS, HE, HE'S OUR, OUR NEPHEW, HE'S FAMILY MEMBER. SO REGARDLESS WHETHER WE GET THE HOUSE FIXED, WHETHER YOU GIVE US MORE TIME, ANYTHING THAT'S, WE HAVE TO HELP HIM. SO THAT'S GONNA HAPPEN REGARDLESS. UM, ALSO, LET ME BRAG REAL QUICK. SECOND, FOR MY BROTHER, HE CAN MAKE A HOUSE LOOK REALLY BEAUTIFUL. SO, UH, AND, AND, YOU KNOW, UM, PEOPLE THAT REMODEL HOUSES KNOW HOW TO GET GOOD DEALS ON SUPPLIES AND STUFF LIKE THAT AND MAKE IT LOOK BETTER WHEN IT'S INSTALLED. AND I HAVE A BROTHER-IN-LAW HERE WHO DOES FLOORING. OUR WHOLE FAMILY IS, THAT'S, THIS IS WHY I SAID IF WE KNEW SOMEBODY NEEDED HELP, WE WOULD'VE DONE IT. BUT WE DO HAVE FAMILY MEMBERS THAT, UM, MY BOYFRIEND THAT I'VE HAD FOR TWO YEARS, HE'S REMODELING HIS HOUSE. HE DOES, HE WORKS FOR A MAINTENANCE APARTMENT, I MEAN A NOKIA, AND HE WORKS MAINTENANCE FOR THEM. HE DOES EVERYTHING FROM AIR CONDITION, PLUMBING, UH, ELECTRICAL, UH, EVERYTHING. HE CAN, HE CAN REMODEL ANYTHING AS WELL. SO WE HAVE THE MEANS, UM, WE JUST NEED THE TIME. THAT'S BASICALLY ALL WE'RE ASKING FOR. AND, AND, YOU KNOW, TO SHOW YOU AND PROVE THAT WE CAN GET THE HOUSE FIXED. BUT JUST SO Y'ALL KNOW, WE WILL RESPECT YOUR DECISION, WHETHER YOU KNOW IT. YEAH. WE WILL RESPECT YOUR DECISION. OKAY. DO WE HAVE ANY ADDITIONAL QUESTIONS FROM, FROM THE REST OF THE BOARD? GEORGE, GO AHEAD. I HAVE A QUESTION. UH, AS I UNDERSTAND IT, THERE HAS BEEN NO ADMINISTRATION OF THE ESTATE, UH, ESTATE OF RICHARD M GOSMAN JR. WHAT DO YOU MEAN BY RI ADMINISTRATION? THAT, THAT IT HAS NOT BEEN THROUGH PROBATE. THAT THERE HAVE BEEN NO DEEDS, UH, ISSUED, UH, TRANSFERRING HIS INTEREST TO ANY OTHER PARTY, INCLUDING HIS, UH, BROTHERS AND SISTERS. RIGHT? NOT THAT I'M AWARE OF. AND THAT'S ONE THING WE, WE WERE LEFT IN THE DARK WITH ABOUT, YOU KNOW, WHEN IT'S, WHEN IT WENT UNDER HIS NAME. WE DIDN'T KNOW THAT. BUT I HAVE A QUESTION FOR LEGAL. UH, IT, WOULD IT BE POSSIBLE FOR ANY OF THE INTERESTED PARTY TO PULL BUILDING PERMITS IF THEY HAVE NO, UH, TITLE TO THAT PROPERTY? NO. THANK YOU. THIS IS, YOU HAVE QUESTIONS? I DO. THIS IS WHY I SAID WE HAVE TO GET IT UNDER OUR NAMES, YOU KNOW, AS QUICKLY AS POSSIBLE. MR. CHAIR LEGAL HAS A, A FEW QUESTIONS. UH, I'LL DO THAT. I THINK YOU'LL DEFER YOURS. I'LL DO THAT. COUNSEL, GO AHEAD WITH YOUR QUESTIONS. NO, I, I, I I CAN WAIT. I CAN WAIT. GO AHEAD. I CAN WAIT LONGER. NO, . ASK YOUR QUESTIONS, FRED. UM, THIS IS FRED. S UH, THIS IS PROBABLY GO TO YOUR BROTHER, THE CONTRACTOR. OKAY. SO IF YOU COME BACK UP [01:10:03] NOW, THE CONTRACTOR, THE CONTRACTOR, I WALK INTO A BUILDING. THE FIRST THREE THINGS I LOOK AT, MAN, HOURS, COST, AND TIME. THE COST IS UP IN THE AIR RIGHT NOW. 'CAUSE YOU HAVEN'T PHYSICALLY GONE OUT THERE TO LOOK EXACTLY MM-HMM . AND THE ONLY REQUIREMENT IF WE GIVE YOU THAT OPTION IS TO BRING IT TO CODE. THE OTHER STUFF CAN BE DONE OVER TIME. SO TIME-WISE, WHAT ARE YOU LOOKING AT? BECAUSE YOU HAVEN'T SEEN THE PROPERTY, BUT YOU SAW THE PICTURE. SO LET'S GO WITH WHAT WE HAVE. I PROMISE YOUR COST IS UP IN THE AIR GIVEN MM-HMM . BALLPARK, YOU ALREADY GAVE MAN HOURS. YOU ARE GONNA BRING PEOPLE DOWN. AND WHAT ARE YOU LOOKING AT TIME-WISE TO BRING IT TO CODE? OKAY, THE FIRST THING THAT I GOTTA ASK IS, I DON'T KNOW HOW MUCH TIME IT TAKES TO GET A PERMIT ON A CERTAIN THING THAT I'M NOT GONNA KNOW IF I SAY TWO AND A HALF MONTHS, AND IT'S GONNA TAKE TWO MONTHS TO GET A PERMIT FOR ELECTRICAL. SO I, IT'S HARD FOR ME TO SAY, BUT IF I GET IT WITHIN A FEW DAYS, I BELIEVE I, WE CAN HAVE THAT HOUSE UP TO CODE AND LIVABLE OR IN TWO AND A HALF MONTHS. SO YEAH, LET'S LOOK AT WHAT YOU HAVE CONTROL OVER. NOT, YOU WON'T HAVE CONTROL OVER PERMITS. I UNDERSTAND THAT AS CONTRACTED. THEY UNDERSTAND THAT. 'CAUSE WE'RE, IT'S RIGHT THERE IN THE SAME BUILDING. SO YOU'RE LOOKING AT TWO AND A HALF MONTHS TO BRING IT TO CODE PLUS, PLUS MORE. WELL, YEAH, BUT THE ONLY THING WE'RE REQUIRED IS CODE TO BRING IT UP, TO CODE IT TWO AND A HALF MONTHS. UM, AND IT'S TO BRING IT TO CODE. YOU MAY NOT NEED A PERMIT, IT TAKES 45 DAYS OR WHATEVER, BUT IF YOU BRING IT TO CODE, YOUR TWO AND A HALF MONTHS WILL GIVE YOU A GOOD BALLPARK ON WHERE YOU'LL BE AND TWO AND A HALF MONTHS. YEAH. UM, WHAT DO YOU MEAN BY, UH, CAN YOU REPEAT THAT? WHEN YOU, WHENEVER YOU DO A PROJECT, YOU ARE REQUIRED TO COME HERE. YOU'VE GOT THAT LIST, CORRECT? NO, THAT WE DID, WE RECEIVED NOTHING. CAN CAN CHAIR READ OFF THE PART ABOUT WHAT THEY WERE REQUIRED TO BRING THE, THE SCOPE OF WORK? THERE'S NO REASON TO READ IT OFF. THE REASON THERE'S NO REASON TO READ IT OFF IS BECAUSE THEY WERE JUST MADE AWARE. RIGHT. THAT'S WHAT IM SAYING. BUT THERE'S HAD AN ISSUE, THERE'S A SCOPE OF WORK, PROOF OF FINANCE AND, UH OH, OH YEAH, THAT, YEAH, THAT ONE. SO YOU'VE GOT THAT. YEAH, WE GOT A COUPLE OF DAYS AGO. SO GOING BY THE SCOPE OF WORK, YOU'RE ALSO HAVE A TIMELINE IN THERE. BUT LET ME INTERJECT REAL QUICK. THE ISSUE THAT NUMBER ONE ISSUE IS, UH, POSSESSION OF THE DEED, THAT'S GONNA TAKE MORE TIME THAN THE REPAIRS. YEAH. WE ARE GONNA TAKE, RIGHT, BUT THAT'S ALSO, I'M, WE'RE NOT HERE TO DISCUSS THE DEED. WE'RE HERE TO DISCUSS IF HE GETS THAT PART WHERE HE CAN WORK, HE NEEDS A TIMELINE. UH, SO WE CAN, BECAUSE THERE'S OTHER DOCUMENTS. IF IT GOES OVER 90 DAYS, THE, THE TIME, THE TIMELINE TO GET THE DEED ISSUED, 90 DAYS IS GOING TO BE GREATER THAN HIS TIMELINE THAT HE'S TALKED ABOUT FOR REPAIRS. UH, AND PROBABLY SUBSTANTIALLY MORE THAN THAT. SO IT'S GONNA BE DIFFICULT TO EVEN, NUMBER ONE, GET A PERMIT SO HE CAN'T STOP OR CAN'T EVEN START WITH A PERMIT ISSUE UNTIL HE GETS TO THE POINT OF OWNERSHIP. BUT GOING OVER YOUR QUESTION, SO DOES YOUR NIECE, NOBODY HAS TITLE OF THE PROPERTY IS STILL UNDER YOUR DECEASED FURTHER, THIS, THIS IS WHAT HAPPENED. MY MOM PASSED AWAY AND WE'RE ALL SIBLINGS AND WE NEVER SIGNED ANYTHING FOR MY OLDER BROTHER THAT PASSED AWAY. RICHARD GUZMAN, TO BE THE OWNER. THAT'S THE THING THAT WE, I DON'T THINK HE SHOULD HAVE GOTTEN THE TITLE OR THE LIEN WITHOUT US SIGNING. CAN I JUST INTERJECT FOR INFORMATION PURPOSES? SO IT LOOKS LIKE ACCORDING TO TAX RECORDS, THAT IT WENT FROM YOUR MOM TO, UM, GITTER INVESTMENTS, WALTER'S MM-HMM . SO I DON'T KNOW WHO OWNED GIBRALTAR INVESTMENTS. THEY SOLD IT, I THINK . YEAH. SO THEY WERE THE, UH, I'M SORRY, ESTATE OR IF YOUR MOTHER SOLD THE HOUSE AND THERE'S NO INHERITANCE FOR YOU. SO IF, WHEN HE BOUGHT IT FROM GIBRALTAR INVESTMENTS, ACCORDING TO TAX RECORDS, I CAN'T SPEAK FOR ANYTHING ELSE, BUT IT LOOKS LIKE THERE WAS A THIRD PARTY, AN INVESTMENT CORPORATION THAT WAS INVOLVED AT SOME POINT. WHO OWNED IT FROM 2004 TO 2017? YES. UH, MY BROTHER WAS STAYING AFTER MY MOM PASSED. HE WAS STAYING THERE. SO HE WAS DOING THE PAYMENTS. DID SHE PASS IN 21 YEARS AGO? 21 YEARS AGO. [01:15:01] YEAR 20, 20 14. 2020. 2014. 2014. SO IT LOOKS LIKE THE HOUSE WAS SOLD BEFORE SHE PASSED AWAY. IT WAS SOLD IN 2004. YEAH, 14. LET, LET US GET IT THE RIGHT, THE RIGHT DATES. NO, NO. 2014. THAT WAS JUST NOT EVEN, YEAH, IT WAS 21 YEARS AGO. OR 21. I CAN'T DO THE MATH. HOW MANY YEARS AGO WAS IT SOLD? UM, 2017. DID YOU SAY ACCORDING TO TAX RECORDS, THE, THERE WAS A WARRANTY DEED DECEMBER 15TH, 2004 FROM IM GUZMAN TO, UM, GIVE A REALTOR INVESTMENT CORE. AND THEN THAT INVESTMENT CORPORATION SOLD THE PROPERTY IN SEPTEMBER 11TH, 2017 TO RICHARD M GMAN JR. THAT IS WHAT TAX REFERENCING WE WERE NOT AWARE OF. WE WERE, HE NEVER TOLD US ANYTHING LIKE THAT. THAT'S 20. OH, UH, OH 4 0 4 2 0 0 4. MY, IT'S WHEN MY MOM PASSED AWAY IN 2004. BUT WE HAD NO KNOWLEDGE OF EVERYTHING YOU'RE SAYING HERE. WE MM-HMM. YEAH, HE WAS STAYING THERE AND HE WAS MAKING THE, THE PAYMENTS WAS, WAS ALREADY PAID FOR. RIGHT. YEAH. SO HE'S THE ONE HAVE A PROBATED KEY. DID YOUR MOTHER HAVE A PROBATED WILL? NO. NO. SHE DIED TO TEST EIGHT WITHOUT A WILL. MM-HMM . YES, THAT'S CORRECT. SO I GUESS OUR FIRST STEP WOULD TRY TO BE, AND FIND OUT WHO OWNS IT. IF WE, IF WE DON'T KNOW THERE ON THE COMPUTER, ACCORDING TO, IT'S OWNED BY RICKY, BY RICHARD AND GUZMAN JR. UM, AND IF, WHEN HE PASSES AWAY, DID HE HAVE A WILL THAT WENT THROUGH ATE? OH, I DUNNO. THE ONE WHO WOULD KNOW IT WOULD BE OUR NIECE, IRMA. WE DON'T KNOW. WE'RE NOT AWARE. WE DON'T KNOW. I'M GONNA GUESS THAT I, I'M GUESSING HERE TOTAL GUESS THAT IT WAS NOT BECAUSE THE PROPERTY WAS NOT CONSIDERED. AND IF THAT WAS IN 2017, IF THE PROPERTY TITLE HAD CHANGED DUE TO A WILL GOING THROUGH PROBATE, THAT WOULD'VE BEEN REFLECTED IN TAX RECORDS BY NOW. MM-HMM . I AGREE. UM, I, I THINK THAT THERE'S GOING TO BE AN INSURMOUNTABLE CHALLENGE OF FIRST ACQUIRING THE PROPERTY. MM-HMM . FROM SOMEONE WHO HAS, UM, OWNERSHIP OR PARTIAL OWNERSHIP. IF YOUR BROTHER DIED IN TESTED, WHO'S CURRENTLY USING THE PROPERTY, WHO IS STRUGGLING WITH NARCOTICS, WHO IT DOESN'T SEEM LIKE YEAH, IT IS. THE HOUSE IS ATTRACTING, IT SEEMS LIKE YOU ARE PEOPLE THAT HE'S ASSOCIATED WITH. YES. MY NEPHEW, MY BROTHER WAS IN, IN, YEAH, SORRY. NO DRUGS. HE WAS, UH, IN THE AIR FORCE. MY OLDER BROTHER, HE WAS, SORRY IF I MISSPOKE, MY APOLOGIES. I'M KNOW YOUR NEPHEW. YEAH, MY NEPHEW, YES. THAT FIRST YOU'D HAVE TO ACTUALLY GET YOUR NEPHEW WHO'S CURRENTLY BENEFITING FROM THE USE OF THE HOUSE TO ADDRESS WHATEVER ISSUES THAT ARE GOING ON, WHICH I THINK IS A HUGE HURDLE. AND THEN GAIN OWNERSHIP OF THE HOUSE AND THEN BE ABLE TO DO THE PROPERTY INVESTMENT. UM, I AM NOT A CONTRACTOR AND, BUT I DO SEE A LOT OF HOUSES AND SEE HOW MUCH MONEY GOES INTO THEM. AND GIVEN THAT THIS HOUSE IS 612 SQUARE FEET ONCE YOU DEMO THE ADDITIONS THAT WERE NOT ADDED LEGALLY. UM, AND SO THAT IS A BENEFIT FOR THE SMALL SPACE, BUT I ALSO KNOW THAT, YOU KNOW, RAISING A HOUSE, REDOING THE ROOFS, ALL OF THOSE THINGS ARE NOT CHEAP. AND EVEN IF YOU GET, UM, PERMITS, I DON'T KNOW IF THERE WOULD BE NEW IMPACT FEES THROUGH SAWS, THEY JUST REDID THEM. THAT'S ABOUT TO REINSTALL A METER. IF THEY REMOVED IT, THAT'S ABOUT $20,000 IN AND OF ITSELF, IF YOU HAVE TO PAY AN IMPACT FEE TO SELL, I THINK THAT THE COST AND TIME THAT THIS WOULD TAKE FOR YOU TO TURN AROUND AND SELL IT WOULD HAVE A LOT OF SENTIMENTAL VALUE. I DON'T KNOW IF IT'S A FINANCIALLY WISE CHOICE. UM, AS SOMEONE WHO'S A REAL ESTATE BROKER AND DEALS WITH THIS A LOT, AND I THINK THERE'S, YOU KNOW, IT'S, IT'S ALL VERY NEW TO YOU. IT'S VERY FRESH. UM, YOU SEE THE PAIN THAT YOUR FAMILY IS IN, RIGHT. WHICH I THINK IS HARD, BUT THAT IT'S PUBLICLY ACKNOWLEDGED AND I WANT TO RECOGNIZE THAT. AND YOU ARE OBVIOUSLY PEOPLE WHO REALLY CHOOSE TO COME IN AND WANT TO HELP. AND I WANNA HONOR THAT TOO. I JUST THINK THAT THE AMOUNT OF STEPS AND THE TIMELINE, BASED ON WHAT I SEE TO GET THESE THINGS DONE, I WOULD THINK THAT IT WOULD PROBABLY TAKE YOU CLOSER TO A YEAR. AND THEN THE FINANCIAL TIME, THE TIME COMING DOWN, AND ANY TIME THAT YOU DON'T HAVE SOMEONE ON SITE, BASED [01:20:01] ON WHAT'S GOING ON IN THE NEIGHBORHOOD, UM, ANYTHING THAT YOU ACHIEVE COULD EASILY BE DAMAGED AND PUT BACK. I THINK IT'S A MONEY PAY. YOU'RE NOT GONNA BE CURRENTLY ON SITE. AND , COURTNEY, IF YOU LET ME, LEMME INTERRUPT JUST A MOMENT. UH, IT IS OUTSIDE OF OUR SCOPE TO BE ABLE TO PROVIDE SPECIFIC RECOMMENDATIONS TO PROPERTY OWNERS. SO I'M GONNA ASK YOU, I, OR, OR ACTUALLY HOLD OFF ON ANY ADDITIONAL COMMENTS WHILE I AGREE WITH YOU, BY THE WAY, UH, ANY OTHER QUESTIONS? COUNSEL, IF YOU WOULD PLEASE ASK YOURS. THANK YOU. MS. GUZMAN, WHO IS IRMA VIAL TO YOU? NIECE. SHE'S YOUR NIECE. OH, NIECE. YEAH. OKAY. AND, UM, WOULD THAT BE, UH, UH, RICHARD GUZMAN'S DAUGHTER? RICHARD? RICHARD GUZMAN, JR'S DAUGHTER? OLDEST. ELDEST. OH, I'M SORRY. YES, IT, UH, SHE'S HIS ELDEST. OKAY. AND, UM, HOW MANY, HOW MANY CHILDREN DOES HE HAVE? UM, THREE, FIVE. OKAY. UM, ARE YOU AWARE THAT, UH, WAS IT MS. VIAL THAT, THAT REACHED OUT TO YOU AND THE REST OF THE FAMILY STATING SHE, SHE NEEDED ASSISTANCE? OR, LEMME REPHRASE THIS, SHE, SHE COULDN'T HANDLE IT ANY LONGER? CORRECT. UM, DID SHE AT ANY POINT IN TIME LET YOU KNOW THAT SHE HAD ENTERED INTO AN AGREEMENT WITH THE DANGEROUS ASSESSMENT RESPONSE TEAM IN TRYING TO ADDRESS THE PROPERTY? YES, BUT NOT IN VERY BRIEFLY. LIKE, YOU KNOW, SHE MET UP WITH SOMEBODY. OKAY. BUT NOT, NOT IN DETAIL. NOT DID SHE EVER TELL YOU WHAT HAPPENED TO THAT, THAT THAT AGREEMENT? UM, ME PERSONALLY, NO. I KNOW SHE SPOKE WITH MY OTHER SISTER IRMA. AT ANY POINT IN TIME, DO YOU KNOW, OR DO ANY OF THE FAMILY MEMBERS KNOW WHY THAT AGREEMENT ENDED UP BEING, UM, SHE WAS UNABLE TO FULFILL IT. DO YOU BY ANY CHANCE, DO YOU, DO YOU GUYS KNOW? NO, OTHER THAN IT WAS JUST A TOO BIG FOR HER. WOULD IT SURPRISE YOU IF I TOLD YOU THAT THE REASON THAT THAT AGREEMENT COULD NOT BE FULFILLED IS BECAUSE OF HER BROTHER REFUSED TO LEAVE THE PROPERTY? I DIDN'T KNOW THAT. IS THIS THE SAME PERSON THAT YOU BELIEVE YOU CAN GET OFF OF THE PROPERTY? YES. THANK YOU. MM-HMM . CAN I SAY SOMETHING ABOUT THAT? UM, ALL THESE, UM, WARRANTS AND ALL THESE PEOPLE THAT CAME HAS BEEN WITHIN THE LAST TWO YEARS. AND HOLD ON. MA'AM. MA'AM, YOUR MIC. I DON'T KNOW IF IT'S ON OR NOT. HELLO? . OKAY. UM, AND ALL THESE WARRANT, IT SOUNDED TO ME LIKE WHAT THE OFFICER WAS SAYING. I'M NOT SAYING MY NEPHEW DIDN'T, YOU KNOW, IS INNOCENT. I'M JUST SAYING ALL THOSE WERE OTHER PEOPLE THAT WERE THERE, IF THAT MAKES ANY SENSE. IT'S NOT MY NEPHEW THAT HAD A WARRANT. IT'S NOT MY NEPHEW THAT WAS DOING STALKING. IT WASN'T MY NEPHEW THAT, YOU KNOW, DID ANY OF THOSE THINGS. UH, SO, AND, AND ALL THAT HAS BEEN PEOPLE THAT HAVE BEEN OTHER PEOPLE. I MEAN, I, I UNDERSTAND THAT, YOU KNOW, MARK IS NOT INNOCENT, BUT ANY OF THOSE EXTREMES WERE DONE WITHIN THE LAST TWO YEARS AND OTHER PEOPLE THAT WERE THERE, THAT IS NOT THE TESTIMONY OF THE OFFICER. OH, I'M SORRY. THAT'S WHAT I, I'M SORRY. SO WE'VE GOT YOUR STATEMENT AS WELL AS THE OFFICER'S STATEMENT. MM-HMM. AND OFFICER, UH, PROVIDED A DIFFERENT STATEMENT THAN YOU, YOU JUST PROVIDED, I THOUGHT THAT'S WHAT HE SAID. THAT, UM, THAT THE 5, 2, 7 PEOPLE WITH WARRANTS WERE ARRESTED. WELL, IT IS, IS CORRECT THAT MOST OF OTHER PEOPLE WERE INVOLVED, BUT MARK WAS ALSO INVOLVED IN PARTICULAR ISSUES. OH, OKAY. I APOLOGIZE. IT'S OKAY. SEE, WE'RE JUST, WE'RE JUST SO OUT OF THE LOOP WITH YEAH. EVERYTHING THAT WAS SAID HERE IS WHAT WE'RE HEARING FOR THE FIRST TIME. ANY OTHER THE SPECIFICS THAT YOU WOULD GIVE TO THE, UH, TO THE BOARD IN TERMS OF YOUR WISHES OR DESIRES FOR THE PROPERTY? ? YES. OTHER THAN, UH, PUTTING IT IN GOD'S HANDS, YOU KNOW, IF GOD HAS CLOSED THIS DOOR, IT'S CLOSED BY WHATEVER DECISION YOU MAKE. IF GOD WILLS IT FOR US TO, TO KEEP GOING. IF IT'S THE DOOR THAT HE'S OPENING FOR BY US BEING HERE, WE COULD HAVE NOT FOUND OUT AND NOT BE HERE AND MISSED THIS WHOLE MEETING. AND IF THAT WAS GOD'S WILL, I MEAN, IT WASN'T BECAUSE HE MIGHT HAVE OPENED A DOOR FOR US. SO WITH THAT BEING SAID, UM, AND LIKE I'VE SAID, I WE WILL RESPECT YOUR WISHES, UH, YOUR DECISION, BUT OBVIOUSLY BECAUSE IT'S SENTIMENTAL VALUE TO US, THAT'S WHERE WE GREW UP AND WE FEEL LIKE WE MIGHT HAVE THE MEANS, THE CAPABILITY OF GETTING IT DONE, GETTING IT FIXED. AND THERE ARE STILL OPTIONS THAT MY BROTHER SAID, YOU KNOW, SELLING IT OR, YOU KNOW, WHATEVER. BUT THERE'S ALWAYS OPTIONS. BUT, UM, [01:25:02] IF WE CAN AT LEAST, YOU KNOW, GET THE OPPORTUNITY TO GET IT FIXED, THAT WE WOULD APPRECIATE THAT WE WOULD, THAT'S WHAT OUR GOAL IS WHEN WE HAD OUR FAMILY MEETING, IT WAS TO GET THAT DONE. BUT, YOU KNOW, WE ALSO UNDERSTAND THAT IT'S NOT UP TO US, IT'S UP TO GOD FIRST. AND HE'LL ALWAYS SPEAK THROUGH YOU GUYS THROUGH ALL OF YOU. THANK YOU VERY MUCH MA'AM. AND THANKS FOR BRINGING D FAMILY TOGETHER. UH, IT'S GOOD THAT ALL OF YOU, UH, ATTEMPTED TO, TO GET RESOLUTION. YES. YOU, MY OTHER BROTHER AND SISTER, THEY JUST COULDN'T GET OFF OF WORK IN TIME TO, BECAUSE WE JUST FOUND OUT MONDAY, LIKE EVENING. SO, BUT WE'RE ALL IN THIS TOGETHER AND WE'RE AS A FAMILY, WANNA THANK YOU VERY MUCH FOR YOUR TESTIMONY AND THANK YOU FOR YOUR TIME AND YOUR QUESTIONS. THANK YOU, MA'AM.

AS FAR AS I KNOW, UH, MY FIRST INSPECTION, UM, IT'S, IT'S BEEN QUITE A WHILE. UM, MY FIRST INSPECTION WAS FEBRUARY 23RD, 2024. OKAY. SO I'M NOT SURE EXACTLY HOW LONG IT'S BEEN VACANT FROM THE LOOKS OF THAT IT'S BEEN ABATED AT LEAST ONCE. 'CAUSE I KNOW THE CITY PAINTS THEIR BOARDS WHITE WHEN THEY ABATE AND SOMETIMES THEY NUMBER 'EM. YES, SIR. SO THAT'S BEEN ABATED AT LEAST ONCE. AND THAT WAS PROBABLY PRIOR TO YOU GETTING IT? YES, SIR.

I KNOW NOTICES WERE SENT OUT AND BATCHED OUT TO THE ADDRESS THAT WAS LISTED IN BCA, WHICH IS THE SAME ADDRESS, 5 0 3. SO, UM, NOT THAT I'M AWARE OF. DURING THE, THIS INVESTIGATION WAS, WAS ANY CONTACT MADE WITH ANYBODY THAT APPEARED TO HAVE AN INTEREST, UH, OWNERSHIP INTERESTED IN THE PROPERTY? NO, SIR. THAT IS ALL. YOU MAY BE SEATED. THANK YOU.

I, UM, WE, UH, MOVED THERE AT, WHEN WE MOVED THERE, IT WAS ARTESIA ROAD AND THAT WAS IN THE EARLY SIXTIES. SO I PRETTY MUCH GREW UP THERE. I WAS IN MIDDLE SCHOOL. BUT I, ONE QUESTION THAT I HAVE FOR YOU GUYS, WHY WOULD YOU SEND INFORMATION? MA'AM? I'M AFRAID THAT WE CANNOT ALLOW YOU TO ASK QUESTIONS OF BOARD. OH, REALLY? UH, YES MA'AM. I'M SORRY. OH, I'M TOO, BECAUSE I'D TO JUST HAVE TO GET INFORMATION FROM YOU IN TERMS OF YOUR INTENT OF THE PROPERTY AND OR THE INFORMATION BACKGROUND ON REPAIRS, ET CETERA. OKAY. INTENT OF THE PROPERTY IS, THERE'S SOMEONE THAT IS INTERESTED IN FIXING IT UP AND THEY'VE, WELL, I'VE TALKED WITH THEM, SO IT'S GONNA BE, I WOULD LIKE FOR IT NOT TO BE DEMOLISHED IF I COULD HAVE LIKE 30 DAYS FOR THEM TO LOOK INTO STUFF AND SEE IF IT'S ANYTHING THAT WE CAN DO. AND THAT'S ALL THAT I ASKED FOR. AND MA'AM, DO YOU HAVE A CONTRACT WITH YOU ON THE POTENTIAL BUYER? YES. YES I DO. AND DID I HEAR YOU SAY YES? YES YOU DID. OKAY. AND DO YOU HAVE THAT CONTRACT? IS IT THIS ONE? I THINK IT'S, SEE IF IT'S THAT ONE. [01:50:06] MS. WALLACE, WHILE THE LEGAL STAFF IS REVIEWING THAT CONTRACT, UH, DO YOU ACTUALLY HAVE POSSESSION, LEGAL POSSESSION OF THAT PROPERTY? BY THAT DO YOU MEAN DO I HAVE THE DEED AND ALL? YES, MA'AM. DO YOU HAVE A DEED, A WHEEL THAT GAVE ME THAT PROPERTY? IS THAT WHAT YOU MEAN? YES, MA'AM. NO, THANK YOU MA'AM. MS. WALLACE. HI. HI. UM, DID YOUR, IS YOUR PARENTS THAT WERE OWNING THE PROPERTY THAT ARE ON THE DEED, MABEL AND BRADFORD UHHUH ? YES. UM, DID THEY DIE WITHOUT A WILL? BOTH. BOTH OF THEM? MM-HMM . OKAY. UM, YES, THEY DID. LEGAL COUNSEL. WHAT IS THE PROCESS? JUST TO UNDERSTAND, WHEN SOMEONE DIES WITHOUT A WILL FOR A CHILD TO TAKE POSSESSION, THE WILL'S GONNA HAVE TO GO AND TESTATE ON THAT. SO I DON'T KNOW IF SHE HAS ANY OTHER SIBLINGS. I DON'T KNOW IF, UM, UM, EITHER OF THE, UH, THE PREVIOUS OWNERS HAD, UM, OTHER CHILDREN. UM, SO IT, IT, IT, IT IS, IT, IT'S A, IT'S A LITTLE BIT OF A LONGER PROCESS. I DO WANT TO MAKE SURE THE BOARD UNDERSTANDS THAT I HAVE LOOKED AT THAT DOCUMENTATION. IT'S OKAY FOR EVERYBODY TO LOOK AT. IN ESSENCE WHAT IT'S SAYING, THERE'S A COMPANY CALLED SEARCHERS, LLC, THAT IF, UH, I, AND I, I APOLOGIZE IF I HAVE THE NAME WRONG, IF RIVER CENTER OR RIVER BUILDERS LLC BUYS THE PROPERTY, THEN SEARCHER'S LLC WILL, UM, UH, GIVE THEM A LOAN. UM, THERE IS NO DEED OR CONTRACT FOR SALE ON THE PROPERTY, BUT IT IS DOCUMENTATION THAT I, I GUESS WHO, UM, WHO SHE'S SPEAKING WITH DOES HAVE FINANCIAL BACKING IF THEY ENTER INTO A CONTRACT, UM, TO BUY THE PROPERTY. BUT THIS, YEAH, OF COURSE SHE WOULD'VE TO SECURE A TITLE FIRST TO DO THAT. THIS IS NOT SIGNED. HOWEVER, IT, IT IS NOT. UM, BUT AGAIN, I I I AM NOT LETTING YOU LOOK AT IT AS PROOF THAT THERE'S A CONTRACT. I'M LETTING YOU LOOK AT THE DOCUMENTATION THAT, UM, MS. WALLACE, UM, IS STATING THAT, UH, SHE'S IN CONTRACT OR SHE'S IN, UH, TALKS WITH A COMPANY AND I BELIEVE THAT COMPANY WOULD BE THE RIVER. I APOLOGIZE, YOU GUYS HAVE HAVE IT IN FRONT OF ME. YEAH, IT'S OKAY. UH, BUT IT LOOKS LIKE THEY HAVE A, A LOAN SECURED IF THEY ENTER INTO A CONTRACT. BUT STILL THE ISSUE OF OWNERSHIP IS GOING TO BE A MAJOR ONE. YES. YES. THE OWNER OWNERSHIP IS STILL GOING TO BE AN ISSUE. MS. WALLACE, DO YOU HAVE ANY SIBLINGS OR ANYONE ELSE WHO MIGHT LIE CLAIM TO THE PROPERTY? ONE LIVING. ONE LIVING. AND HAVE YOU DISCUSSED THE PROPERTY WITH THAT PERSON? YES. AND THEY ARE IN AGREEMENT THAT YOU DO ON YOUR NAME, DO WHAT YOU WANT TO DO? THAT'S, YEAH. OKAY. FRED, YOU HAD A QUESTION? YEAH. UH, THIS IS FAND. IS NO MENTION OF ANYBODY BEING NOTIFIED WHEN WERE YOU NOTIFIED ABOUT THIS? THIS PARTICULAR COMPANY? NO, NO. ABOUT THIS CASE, BECAUSE THERE'S NOTHING IN THE, IN THE NOTES SAYING THEY NOTIFIED FAMILY MEMBERS. SO WHEN WERE YOU NOTIFIED ABOUT THIS CASE? FROM THE CITY? THIS PARTICULAR FROM THE CITY. FROM THE CITY. IF IT WAS MAILED TO THE HOUSE ADDRESS ON FIVE THREE CORNER VALLEY? YES, MA'AM. WHY? THAT IS THE RECORD. I KNOW AT BEARCAT, THAT'S, I KNOW THAT, AND EVERYBODY ON THE PIECE OF BEAR CAP WHEN THEY HAD, EVERYBODY WHO'S EVEN BEEN WAY BACK, HAD AN INTEREST AT ONE TIME OR ANOTHER. THAT'S HOW THEY DO THAT. MM-HMM . I'M ASKING HOW DID YOU GET NOTIFIED THAT THIS MEETING WAS HAPPENING? AND I TOLD YOU, BUT YOU DIDN'T WANNA HEAR WHAT I SAID OR UNDERSTAND IT. THE COMPANY IS INTERESTED IN NO, NO. REFURBISHING THAT HOUSE. THAT'S HOW I WAS NOTIFIED. THE COMPANY NOTIFIED YOU THAT THIS HOUSE WAS ON, UH, BEING PRESENTED TO THE BOARD? YES. THAT'S WHY I'M HERE. SHE SAID, AND THAT'S THE COMPANY CAN DID, DO, DO I NEED TO WRITE IT DOWN, NOAM, BECAUSE WE'RE TRYING TO FIGURE OUT HOW ALL THIS FALLS, FALLS IN PLACE. UNDERSTAND. YES, I UNDERSTAND WHAT YOU'RE SAYING. PLEASE UNDERSTAND ME. THAT'S HOW I WAS NOTIFIED. OKAY. SO YOU, THE COMPANY THAT'S WILLING TO BUY IT NOTIFIED YOU THAT THE PROPERTY WAS BEING PRESENTED TO THE BOARD WANTED BECAUSE THEY GOT THE SAME LETTER, WANTED TO, THEY WANTED TO BUY [01:55:01] BECAUSE THEY GOT A LETTER ON THAT LIST. THEY DID SOME RESEARCH FOR THAT PROPERTY, APPARENTLY. WELL, THAT'S WHAT I'M SAYING. SO THEY NOTIFIED YOU BY THE LIST THAT WAS PUT OUT THERE. WHEN YOU WERE NOTIFIED, UM, THAT THIS DATE WAS COMING UP, DID YOU TALK TO CO COMPLIANCE OR THE STAFF AT ANY TIME? NO. WHY? WHY WOULD I NEED TO? BECAUSE THAT'S PART OF THE PROCESS. OKAY. I I I'M JUST ASKING. NO, BUT I'M TELLING NO, I DIDN'T. OKAY. I WAS TOLD THAT THIS WOULD BE, AND THIS WOULD BE AN OPPORTUNITY. SO I'M HERE BECAUSE I CARE. THAT'S THE ONLY REASON. AND IF I COULD GET A CHUNK OF TIME, IT'S BEEN SITTING THERE THIS LONG FALLING APART PEOPLE IN AND OUT OF IT, I COULD DO NOTHING ABOUT THAT AND DIDN'T KNOW THAT I HAD A CHANCE TO DO ANYTHING. BUT YOU DON'T OWN THE PROPERTY AND YOUR SIBLING DOES NOT OWN THE PROPERTY. CORRECT. WHAT DOES, WHAT DOES THAT MEAN? OWNER INTEREST? MR. CHAIR, I, ANY DISCUSSION THAT YOU GUYS HAVE? I, I WOULD ENCOURAGE YOU GUYS TO HAVE IT. UM, I STATED THAT SHE HAS, UH, OWNERSHIP INTEREST WHEN SOMEONE DIES. AND TII UNDERSTAND THAT. 'CAUSE I'M GOING THROUGH THAT RIGHT NOW WITH MY FAMILY. BUT YOU DON'T OWN THE PROPERTY UNTIL YOU SUBMIT IT TO THE COURT. CORRECT. THE COURT ALLOWS YOU TO HAVE IT, BUT SHE HAS, THAT'S WHAT I'M SAYING. AND THAT ISSUE, UNDERSTAND THAT ISSUE HAS BEEN ESTABLISHED, THEREFORE THERE'S NO REASON TO DISCUSS IT FURTHER. UH, WE, WE EVEN UNDERSTAND FROM COUNSEL HOW DIFFICULT IT'S GONNA BE TO GET IT. ANY OTHER QUESTIONS? UM, COUNSEL, IF YOU WERE GONNA PUT A TIMELINE FOR TWO, AGREEING PEOPLE TO GAIN, UH, THE CLEAN DEED WERE THE PARENTS WHO DIED IN TEST EIGHT, WHAT TIMELINE WOULD YOU PUT ON THAT IF BOTH SIBLINGS AGREE THAT IT GOES THE NAME OF ONE SIBLING? I, I I, WHAT'S THAT? I DO WANT TO MAKE SURE WE'RE CLEAR. UM, UH, MS. WALLACE HAS STATED THAT SHE DOES HAVE ONE SIBLING THAT'S, THAT THAT'S ALIVE. UM, UH, I I I'M GOING TO ASSUME THAT SHE HAS ALSO, THAT MEANS THAT THERE MIGHT BE A SIBLING OR SIBLINGS, UH, THAT ARE DECEASED. UM, AND THOSE SIBLINGS ALSO HAVE HEIRS. I, AGAIN, I DON'T KNOW. UH, YOU'RE ASKING AS A, YOU'RE ASKING A LAWYER, SO I'M GONNA GIVE YOU A LAWYER TYPE OF ANSWER. THOSE ARE WOULD ALSO BE CONCERNS. BUT AGAIN, I, UM, OKAY. SO HAVING SAID THAT, IT WOULD, IT WOULD, UM, IT WOULD TAKE A, A GOOD PART OF A YEAR. OKAY. ASSUMING THAT ALL DESCENDANTS AND ALL PEOPLE WHO HAVE OWNERSHIP INTEREST, WHICH WOULD BE MS. WALLACE, HER SIBLING, AND ANY ERRORS OF ANY DECEASED SIBLINGS ARE IN AGREEMENT MAKING THAT ASSUMPTION, YOU'RE SAYING THE PROCESS WOULD BE THE BETTER PART TO THE, YOU LOOK THAT LEGAL PROCESS. I'M GOING TO COME TO DEFENSE OF THE COUNSEL BECAUSE COUNSEL CANNOT ANSWER THAT QUESTION. NO, I'M JUST NOT DRAW IT. IT WOULD, IT, WOULD IT, I COULD SAY THIS, IT WOULD TAKE LONGER THAN SIX MONTHS. I, THAT'S MY, MY GUESS. I'M JUST TRYING TO GET AN IDEA OF THE PROCESS. WELL, THIS IS, THIS IS THAT, I UNDERSTAND. I'M GOING THROUGH THAT RIGHT NOW WITH MY MOM'S PASSING IN JUNE, OR I'M SORRY, JANUARY. AND MY COUNSEL'S TOLD ME SIX MONTHS TO A YEAR IF EVERYBODY AGREES. BUT THE COURT STILL HAS TO DO THEIR DILIGENCE 'CAUSE THE COURT ASSIGNS AN ATTORNEY. SO IT CAN TAKE WELL OVER A YEAR, DEPENDING. SO THAT'S FROM PERSONAL EXPERIENCE. 'CAUSE I'M GOING THROUGH IT RIGHT NOW. I, I THINK THAT THE BOARD IS NOW SATISFIED THAT IT WILL TAKE SUBSTANTIAL TIME TO GET IT DONE. AND I'LL EVEN ADD TO IT. FIRST OF ALL, YOU HAVE TO GET A COURT DATE AND THAT'S GONNA BE THE BIGGER ISSUE THAN WHAT YOU MAY TAKE. ANY OTHER QUESTIONS OUTSIDE OF THE ISSUE OF HOW LONG WOULD IT TAKE TO GAIN POSSESSION? UH, MR. CHAIRMAN, I, I, I THINK, UH, MR. WALLACE HAS ASKED THIS, BUT I'M NOT SURE I UNDERSTOOD THE, THE ANSWER. WHEN WAS SHE FIRST NOTIFIED OF THIS HEARING? UH, THE QUESTION WAS WHEN WERE YOU FIRST NOTIFIED OF THE, UH, INFORMATION? AND SHE REPLIED THAT IT WAS BASED ON INFORMATION PROVIDED BY THE SEARCH FIRM. UH, AND, UH, THAT WAS, UH, TOWARD THE END OF THE MONTH OF MARCH. THANK YOU. AND MS. WALLACE, YOU COULD VERIFY THAT I GAVE ANY MISINFORMATION ON THAT. IT SAID TOWARD THE END OF THE MONTH OF MARCH, IT WAS EVEN MR, MR IF YOU WOULD GO INTO THE MIC, SPEAK OF THE MICROPHONE. PLEASE MA'AM. [02:00:03] I'M SORRY. PLEASE FORGIVE ME. UM, IT WASN'T EVEN THAT LONG AGO. SOMEONE, YOU KNOW, SOMEONE CALLED ASKING ABOUT THE PROPERTY AND THEY KNEW THE NAME. AND THAT'S BEEN MAYBE TWO WEEKS, THE FIRST CALL THAT I RECEIVED AS TO WHAT WAS HAPPENING. AND GEORGE, DID YOU GET THAT? UH, YEAH, AND I JUST, AND THE REASON I ASKED IS WHEN YOU, WHEN YOU LOOK AT THE INFORMATION WE'VE BEEN PROVIDED, THE, THE EARLIEST NOTICE THAT ANYBODY WITH ANY POTENTIAL INTEREST IN THIS PROPERTY WAS NOTIFIED WAS IN, UH, FEBRUARY THE 26TH, THE 25. UH, AND THAT WAS, UH, SENT TO 5 0 3 PECAN VALLEY DRIVE. THE NEXT, UH, SERIES OF NOTICES WERE SENT, UH, MARCH THE 26TH, WHICH IS WHAT, TWO WEEKS AGO, CORRECT. OF 2025. SO MY, MY POINT IS THERE HAS NOT BEEN MUCH NOTICE POINT NOTED. ANY OTHER QUESTIONS? NO, I HAVE ONE, BUT IT WAS FOR THE, UM, THE CODE OFFICER. YES, MA'AM. IS THERE ANY EVIDENCE OF PEOPLE LIVING IN THE HOUSE OF CRIMINAL ACTIVITY AT THE HOUSE? THERE IS EVIDENCE. DO YOU THINK THAT THE ABATEMENT AND VISITS IS ENOUGH TO DETER THE CRIMINAL ACTIVITY OR YOU THINK IT'S MORE PERSISTENT? I THINK IT'S MORE PERSISTENT. THE AMOUNT OF, UH, TIMES SAPS HAS BEEN OUT THERE AND HAD TO CLEAR, CLEAR THE HOUSE. UM, THEY COULDN'T COME TO SPEAK TODAY ON THE BEHALF OF THE CASE. I DID ASK THEM, BUT THEY HAD OTHER, UM, DUTIES. SO IT'S A CONSTANT THING. LIKE I SAID, IT'S HIGH. UM, VEHICLE TRAFFIC, FOOT TRAFFIC NEXT TO A CONVENIENCE STORE, UM, BUSY INTERSECTION. UM, I PASS BY THERE ALL THE TIME. THERE'S ALWAYS HOMELESS HANGING OUT AROUND THERE. SO, AND THAT'S JUST AN EASY, HAVE THERE HAVE BEEN ANY ARREST WARRANTS THAT I'M NOT SURE IF I, I CAN'T SPEAK ON THAT BEHALF. AND IF THE, DO YOU KNOW IF THE CRIMINAL ACTIVITY IS SIMPLY PEOPLE TRYING TO LIVE THERE OR GUNS OTHER ACTIVITY, NARCOTICS? I CAN'T SPEAK ON THAT BEHALF. I DON'T KNOW. THANK YOU. MM-HMM . ANY OTHER QUESTIONS OF THE CODE OFFICER AND OR MS. WALLACE? MS. WALLACE, THANK YOU VERY MUCH FOR COMING IN TODAY. CHAIR WOULD ENTERTAIN A MOTION ON THE PROPERTY LOCATED AT 5 0 3 PECAN VALLEY DRIVE. I'LL MAKE A MOTION. GO AHEAD, PLEASE. I MOVE THAT THE PROPERTY LOCATED AT 5 0 3 PECAN VALLEY DRIVE IS A PUBLIC NUISANCE. FIRST CODE, CHAPTER SIX, ARTICLE EIGHT, SECTION SIX DASH 1 57, WHICH IS FEASIBLE TO BE REPAIRED AT THIS TIME AND IS IN VIOLATION OF CITY CODE CHAPTER SIX, ARTICLE EIGHT, SECTION SIX DASH 1 56, UM, ONE, UH, SPECIFICALLY 1 2 5 7 8 11, 12, 15, 17, AND 18. I MOVE THAT THE CASE BE RESET FOR THE NEXT AVAILABLE TIME TO GIVE MS. WALLACE TIME TO START THE OWNERSHIP PROCESS. THE MOTION IS THAT THE PROPERTY LOCATED AT 5 0 3 PECAN VALLEY IS A PUBLIC NUISANCE FOR CITY CODE CHAPTER SIX, ARTICLE EIGHT, SECTION SIX DASH 1 57. AND IT IS FEASIBLE BEING REPAIRED AT THIS TIME. UH, IT'S EVEN THOUGH IT'S IN VIOLATION OF CHAPTER SIX, ARTICLE EIGHT, SECTION SIX DASH 1 56, SUB CODES 1, 2 5 7 8 11, 12, 15, 17, AND 18, THAT THE CASE BE RESET, UH, GIVING FAMILY AN OPPORTUNITY TO GAIN POSSESSION OF THE PROPERTY. UH, DO I HAVE A SECOND? UM, BEFORE I, I SECOND I HAVE A QUESTION. UM, IS IT NECESSARY TO DO THE ORDER OR CAN WE JUST DO THE RESET? I-I-I-I-I WANNA MAKE SURE I UNDERSTAND THE, THE, IT SOUNDS LIKE THE MOTION IS TO RESET, SO THE ORDER WILL BE RESET, RIGHT? YEAH, THAT'S WHAT I THOUGHT. A, A SPECIFIC ORDER FOR REPAIR WILL NOT BE MADE. IS THAT YOUR ASK? YES. AND THE ANSWER IS NO. IT WOULD JUST BE RESET FOR THE NEXT PAYABLE DATE. OKAY. BUT OKAY. I'M, I'M STILL CONFUSED. SO WE ACTUALLY HAVE TO DEMI, UH, REPAIRABLE BEFORE WE DO THE RESET. NO, NO, NO, NO. THAT WAS, THAT WAS JUST NOT PART OF THE MOTION BEING REPEATED. OKAY. AND, AND JUST TO MAKE SURE THE BOARD UNDERSTANDS THE MOTION WILL REFLECT SIMPLY THAT IT'S BEEN RESET, IT WILL STATE WHAT THE, UH, WHAT THE DEVELOPMENT SERVICES BELIEVES WERE, WERE, WERE CONCERNS, UH, THOSE LISTS. UH, BUT IT WILL NOT INCLUDE THE, UM, [02:05:01] THE STAFF RECOMMENDATION. IT WILL NOT INCLUDE THE CONCERN. I DON'T BELIEVE IT CON INCLUDES THE, THE NUMBERS IN REGARDS TO THE MAIN. IT'LL JUST BE RESET. SO WHILE SHE MIGHT HAVE, UH, SHE MIGHT HAVE MISSPOKE ON SOME PART. IT'S, IT'S A RESET. OKAY. OKAY. THEN I SECOND, SO THEREFORE THE MOTION IS THAT THE PROPERTY LOCATED 5 0 3 PECAN VALLEY SHOULD BE RESET FOR THE NEXT AVAILABLE MEETING. I, I SECOND. OKAY. WE'RE ALL CLEAR ON THE MOTION? YES.

UM, I THINK THAT THERE HAS NOT BEEN A LOT OF NOTICE TO THE POSSIBLE HEIRS, AND NOW THAT WE DO HAVE A POSSIBLE HEIR PRESENT, BUT SHE SHOULD HAVE THE TIME AND NEITHER THE POSSIBLE BUYER WITH THE REASONABLE SOLUTION FOR THIS PROPERTY, UM, THAT SHE SHOULD HAVE A LITTLE BIT OF TIME AND GET PROPER NOTICE SO THAT SHE CAN ADDRESS THE ISSUE AND SEE HOW FEASIBLE IT IS. THEN SHE, ONCE SHE DOES HER RESEARCH, SHE CAN COME BACK AND PRESENT IT TO WHICHEVER PANEL SHE SITS IN FRONT. UH, COUNSEL THE, THE ISSUE OF RESET UNDER THE CONSIDERATION OF HOW MUCH TIME IT'S GOING TO TAKE FOR HER TO GAIN POSSESSION OF A DEED PER SE. UH, ARE WE, ARE WE REALLY GOING TO BE ABLE TO EVEN DO A RESET AND STILL HAVE ENOUGH TIME TO EVEN GAIN POSSESSION OF A DEED? I, I I, I DO WANNA MAKE SURE WE UNDERSTAND, UM, RESETS ARE TO PROVIDE MORE INFORMATION TO THIS BOARD SO THE BOARD CAN MAKE A DETERMINATION. UH, IT'S NOT TO FACILITATE A SALE. UH, SO THE RESET WILL BE RESET TO THE NEXT AVAILABLE DATE, AND THEN THAT DATE IS DETERMINED BY THE BSBA LIAISON AND, AND THEIR AND THAT TEAM. SO IT'S ROUGHLY 35, 45 DAYS. IT, IT JUST KIND OF DEPENDS ON CORRECT. ON THE, THE, IT'S NOT ENOUGH TO COMPLETE THE PROCESS, BUT IT'S AT LEAST ENOUGH TO GIVE HER SHE SURE. IF SHE, IF THAT'S WHAT SHE WANTS TO SIBLINGS TO I RIGHT.
