Go ahead. I'd like to make a motion that we 5 00:01:11,225 --> 00:01:14,765 accept the minutes as is from the 6 00:01:15,515 --> 00:01:19,225 april 6th meeting. Have a motion. Do I have a second? 7 00:01:19,965 --> 00:01:23,785 second. I have a second. All in favor, please say aye. Aye. All opposed 8 00:01:24,575 --> 00:01:28,505 that motion carried by vote. Seven zero. Next item on the agenda 9 00:01:28,785 --> 00:01:32,705 is a hearing concerning dangerous structure located at 1605 acosta. We'll turn it over 10 00:01:32,825 --> 00:01:33,545 to staff at this time. 11 00:01:40,545 --> 00:01:41,425 I don't have a lot to say. 12 00:01:46,205 --> 00:01:49,185 I'd like to think of my thing would work, but maybe it's not. 13 00:01:52,015 --> 00:01:55,635 oh, so this is 60 0 5 14 00:01:56,805 --> 00:02:00,725 acosta. Remember where it is on the map, uh, 15 00:02:02,055 --> 00:02:05,745 between beltline and carrier, north of marshall, 16 00:02:06,155 --> 00:02:08,815 south of south of, uh, jefferson. 17 00:02:10,605 --> 00:02:13,135 this was the house, or probably the first 18 00:02:14,685 --> 00:02:16,365 we met back in april of 2025 19 00:02:18,815 --> 00:02:22,675 and I got progressive pictures. This was the interior at the time. It's worse 20 00:02:22,935 --> 00:02:24,785 now than I believe, than it was then. 21 00:02:27,795 --> 00:02:29,895 progressive pictures, uh, 22 00:02:31,895 --> 00:02:34,635 the grass gets greener, the holes get a little bit bigger. 23 00:02:36,145 --> 00:02:40,035 there's a dumpster there. At the time, ms. Malone thought she could secure funding 24 00:02:40,455 --> 00:02:44,355 to get it, uh, financed and it, it, that didn't come through. 25 00:02:46,175 --> 00:02:50,135 uh, this was after it 26 00:02:50,615 --> 00:02:54,195 had come through, but, and they, they, the contractor bought 27 00:02:54,835 --> 00:02:58,715 materials found out that we had to do a lot more, uh, engineering and study 28 00:02:59,105 --> 00:03:01,665 to get, get it fixed the correct way. 29 00:03:03,315 --> 00:03:06,745 and so that was even in last month. 30 00:03:10,395 --> 00:03:14,235 this was saturday? No, this was today actually. Uh, when 31 00:03:14,525 --> 00:03:18,195 I went there saturday, there was a, a, an engineer walking 32 00:03:18,765 --> 00:03:22,705 around measuring with this wheel. And I ask him, hey, are you here for the house? He 33 00:03:22,925 --> 00:03:26,815 says, yes. And he says, the gentleman that's here tonight to speak with you folks, 34 00:03:27,845 --> 00:03:31,835 I hired him to do an assessment of what it would take to fix it, what 35 00:03:32,125 --> 00:03:35,745 y'all asked for to be presented at this meeting. So he, 36 00:03:36,145 --> 00:03:39,945 he was there on saturday and I commented that if 37 00:03:40,165 --> 00:03:44,115 things didn't get done in the last minute, that things, so many things get done in the last minute, more 38 00:03:44,405 --> 00:03:48,345 than any other minute in the, in the day. So, so that's good. So, 39 00:03:49,505 --> 00:03:53,415 uh, these were the rec 40 00:03:54,095 --> 00:03:57,635 original recommended findings. It's dangerous in, 41 00:03:58,355 --> 00:04:02,115 in the 29, 18, all those 2, 2, 7, 9, and 11. And, and, 42 00:04:02,395 --> 00:04:05,415 uh, oh, it's substandard and then dangerous 29, 28. 43 00:04:08,435 --> 00:04:11,975 and these were the original orders as a 30 day time period that's been pushed back 44 00:04:12,475 --> 00:04:16,295 now until june. Uh, and then with the 45 00:04:16,495 --> 00:04:20,075 order was for someone representing the, the company that's, 46 00:04:20,515 --> 00:04:24,415 that's, that's got the release, the mortgage representative of the mortgage company 47 00:04:25,155 --> 00:04:29,045 or attorney to present a de more detailed plan. 48 00:04:30,155 --> 00:04:33,575 and I believe he was here tonight. I, I spoke to him and he's got a, 49 00:04:34,295 --> 00:04:37,595 a document that I just, I haven't seen it before you guys did. So 50 00:04:39,235 --> 00:04:43,055 that's what I got. Gotcha. Any questions to my right? 51 00:04:45,035 --> 00:04:48,995 any questions to my left? No. No. And chad's back. Thank you. Hi, 52 00:04:49,215 --> 00:04:53,115 chad. We 53 00:04:53,335 --> 00:04:56,485 do have a speaker card. Uh, kyle, 54 00:04:57,675 --> 00:04:59,935 if you would come forward, state your name and address for the record, please 55 00:05:02,845 --> 00:05:06,605 just tell us your position. Hi, good evening. My name is kyle 56 00:05:07,325 --> 00:05:11,215 piic. Um, I, business address is, I'm with 57 00:05:11,335 --> 00:05:15,175 the law firm, barrett dafen, and I'm here on behalf of, uh, the mortgage company, mid first 58 00:05:15,405 --> 00:05:19,055 bank. That's ms. Malone's mortgage company. My business address is 4 0 0 4 59 00:05:20,255 --> 00:05:23,465 beltline road in suite 100. And that's addison, texas 7 5 0 0 1. 60 00:05:26,595 --> 00:05:30,515 um, thank you for, uh, having me tonight and I apologize for, 61 00:05:30,755 --> 00:05:34,375 for coming on such short notice. My colleague thomas bracket, who's been here several times, 62 00:05:35,195 --> 00:05:38,485 uh, he, he's just returning from his, uh, 50th birthday and 15th anniversary, 63 00:05:39,635 --> 00:05:43,475 uh, today. So he asked me to come down here. Um, he had 64 00:05:43,875 --> 00:05:47,855 let me know what was going on and what was, what went on at the last meeting. Um, the update 65 00:05:48,135 --> 00:05:52,075 that I'm aware of is that the, um, mid first bank is willing or 66 00:05:52,315 --> 00:05:55,295 did come forward and, and offer to take on the cost of the repairs. 67 00:05:56,355 --> 00:05:59,985 um, the latest progress was that on saturday the 68 00:06:00,405 --> 00:06:04,305 engineer went out and did prepare the, uh, report, which I provided a copy to 69 00:06:04,525 --> 00:06:08,525 each of you in front there. Um, I do see that the very last 70 00:06:08,875 --> 00:06:12,765 page, which is the recommendations page, is in the smallest font possible that I 71 00:06:12,885 --> 00:06:16,565 couldn't even read. So if you'd like, I'm more than happy to provide the electronic 72 00:06:17,045 --> 00:06:20,865 copy that I have. Um, so you can take a look at that. Um, 73 00:06:22,475 --> 00:06:26,205 there's not any sort of real plans. It reads like an engineer's report. It's 74 00:06:26,485 --> 00:06:30,285 very clinical, um, describing exactly, you know, the, what standards 75 00:06:30,565 --> 00:06:34,355 needs to be done and, and so on and so forth. So I, I think what, uh, your 76 00:06:34,645 --> 00:06:38,405 honors are looking for is more of a, a realistic prescription 77 00:06:38,865 --> 00:06:42,205 of this is what we're gonna do, this is how we're gonna fix these problems, 78 00:06:43,035 --> 00:06:46,925 more of a plan of attack, more so than just a diagnostic, which I think is what the engineer's report 79 00:06:47,265 --> 00:06:51,125 is. Um, so I understand that I did request from my client as of 80 00:06:51,285 --> 00:06:54,725 friday that they have the general contractor who's gonna be overseeing this project here tonight. 81 00:06:55,625 --> 00:06:59,295 and they told me that that wasn't gonna happen at about 4:00 pm today. 82 00:06:59,905 --> 00:07:03,825 so I'm here hat in hand, well, I should say report in hand. Um, 83 00:07:04,355 --> 00:07:08,205 just to reaffirm that from what I've been told, they still plan on going forward with 84 00:07:08,405 --> 00:07:12,345 the repairs, even knowing what they have in this report and that, um, 85 00:07:12,925 --> 00:07:16,925 I would carry back your, uh, your directions to them with the emphasis 86 00:07:17,425 --> 00:07:21,365 on the need to get moving on this. Let's, uh, see if the board has 87 00:07:21,565 --> 00:07:22,965 any questions. Any questions to my right? 88 00:07:25,775 --> 00:07:29,515 any questions to my left? No, I have a question. 89 00:07:31,175 --> 00:07:34,835 so what we were looking for is a timeline 90 00:07:35,855 --> 00:07:39,195 of completion, not necessarily what type of materials, 91 00:07:40,255 --> 00:07:44,035 um, you would be using because we understand that's gonna be approved 92 00:07:44,305 --> 00:07:47,755 from the city as what type of materials you're using. 93 00:07:48,375 --> 00:07:52,235 but more or less a timeline. It could, it, is that something that we can get? 94 00:07:52,495 --> 00:07:54,815 how long will it take to complete this job? 95 00:07:56,665 --> 00:08:00,365 uh, I understand tonight. I don't have an answer for you on that. Okay. I know hiring 96 00:08:01,105 --> 00:08:04,965 the, um, the engineering age for full scope of the work was really a big part of 97 00:08:05,125 --> 00:08:08,845 that. Mm-hmm . My understanding of it is that the next step will be for them 98 00:08:09,225 --> 00:08:13,225 to internally, um, pick a contract or sit down with that. So 99 00:08:13,745 --> 00:08:17,525 if I can carry that specific instruction that that is a mandate 100 00:08:17,875 --> 00:08:19,945 from the board to have a, um, 101 00:08:22,085 --> 00:08:26,005 a specific timeline mm-hmm . Um, for next meeting, that that is something 102 00:08:26,245 --> 00:08:30,125 I will be able to carry back to them. Okay. Thank you. You're very welcome. 103 00:08:32,125 --> 00:08:35,925 I and I, there's no other questions. Thank you very much. Thank you. Alright. 104 00:08:40,235 --> 00:08:44,035 uh, so the chair will entertain any motions at this time. I will remind 105 00:08:44,455 --> 00:08:48,375 the board then our last motion that we just 106 00:08:48,535 --> 00:08:51,085 approve the minutes on, advised 107 00:08:53,185 --> 00:08:56,845 the owner or their representative in the order for a detailed 108 00:08:57,245 --> 00:09:01,185 progress report of all work completed and 109 00:09:01,445 --> 00:09:04,645 a projected timeline being presented at the may meeting. 110 00:09:06,895 --> 00:09:10,885 I don't have a timeline. I don't have a, a detailed report of what work 111 00:09:11,275 --> 00:09:14,235 was accomplished. Uh, so 112 00:09:15,895 --> 00:09:18,025 just wanna put that out there for y'all's consideration. 113 00:09:20,805 --> 00:09:24,525 go ahead and, and just to remind the board, so currently the order is 114 00:09:25,025 --> 00:09:28,905 actually not set to expire until next month. So the board does not have 115 00:09:29,185 --> 00:09:33,105 to take any action today. The board can choose to take action, however, the board cannot, 116 00:09:33,805 --> 00:09:36,845 at this time reduce the time that has already been given. Gotcha. 117 00:09:38,075 --> 00:09:41,975 thank you. So the chair will 118 00:09:42,215 --> 00:09:44,355 entertain any motions that the board has. 119 00:09:47,085 --> 00:09:51,025 go ahead. You need to say something. The board is also more than welcome to share their 120 00:09:51,625 --> 00:09:55,605 thoughts and comments with the, um, 121 00:09:56,905 --> 00:09:58,945 attorney if they so wish in the public meeting. 122 00:10:02,965 --> 00:10:06,765 well, what I was gonna say is the order is in place until june 5th. 123 00:10:08,815 --> 00:10:10,705 our next meeting is june 1st. 124 00:10:14,505 --> 00:10:17,845 the expectation is that the timeline, 125 00:10:18,985 --> 00:10:22,955 the detailed timeline that we asked for last 126 00:10:23,245 --> 00:10:25,085 meeting is presented on june 1st. 127 00:10:28,095 --> 00:10:30,315 uh, oh, well this says bay meeting right here, 128 00:10:32,345 --> 00:10:36,075 that last sentence. Right. But they don't have it. 129 00:10:36,445 --> 00:10:40,355 right. The, the motion, which was made 130 00:10:40,555 --> 00:10:44,455 last time and put in the order is they were to appear with a timeline at this meeting mm-hmm 131 00:10:44,955 --> 00:10:48,785 . But the repairs were not required to be completed until june. 132 00:10:49,295 --> 00:10:53,275 so at this point okay. They have not complied with the order of the board because they 133 00:10:53,555 --> 00:10:55,615 have not presented a detailed timeline. Gotcha. 134 00:11:07,385 --> 00:11:10,895 well, it's my opinion that we don't do 135 00:11:11,395 --> 00:11:15,295 anything. We, we just allow it to carry out 136 00:11:18,055 --> 00:11:18,375 as is. 137 00:11:25,935 --> 00:11:29,825 what are you thinking, miss bull? That there's a really annoying noise that we 138 00:11:29,985 --> 00:11:33,815 just sorry, like a chirping? Yeah, 139 00:11:34,105 --> 00:11:38,105 something. Uhhuh, uhhuh , uhhuh, , . I don't know, 140 00:11:39,225 --> 00:11:42,745 I I'm sorry. I have a follow up to the gentleman sir. I'm sorry. She go ahead. Go ahead. 141 00:11:44,535 --> 00:11:48,515 did you, just to make sure I, you right you in, you guys with the 142 00:11:48,595 --> 00:11:52,425 homeowner far as funding that, 143 00:11:52,715 --> 00:11:56,685 right? Yes, that's correct. We, um, mid first has, uh, stepped up and offered 144 00:11:56,985 --> 00:12:00,965 to undertake the, um, the cost of the repairs. And in doing so, they're 145 00:12:01,325 --> 00:12:05,285 also taking on the, um, uh, all the 146 00:12:05,445 --> 00:12:09,135 organization of and the paperwork of, so, so really ms. Malone, I mean, she's 147 00:12:09,485 --> 00:12:13,445 not outside of it, obviously, she's benefiting from it and, and she's been great throughout the 148 00:12:13,565 --> 00:12:17,525 process, but it's not as if we're relying on her to find a contractor. In fact, it 149 00:12:17,725 --> 00:12:21,725 was, it was sort of the opposite. She wanted to use some of the stuff that people she'd been working with 150 00:12:22,145 --> 00:12:25,965 and, and mid first has a, a required, no, they have their own set 151 00:12:26,165 --> 00:12:30,045 of vendors and their own procedure to do that with. So, um, I I 152 00:12:30,325 --> 00:12:34,125 think long story short is that no, yes, they're gonna come forward, essentially put a lien 153 00:12:34,365 --> 00:12:38,365 on the back end of her current mortgage, but, um, step up and, and get it fixed 154 00:12:38,525 --> 00:12:40,885 to full compliance. Perfect. Appreciate that. 155 00:12:43,945 --> 00:12:45,245 any other questions before we sit stand? 156 00:12:48,305 --> 00:12:49,925 no further questions. Thank you. Thank you. 157 00:12:54,185 --> 00:12:56,085 so what is the wishes of the board at this point? 158 00:13:00,285 --> 00:13:03,815 I'm inclined to, uh, I know, 159 00:13:04,965 --> 00:13:07,965 put on the record instructions, 160 00:13:12,255 --> 00:13:15,705 no bearing as said. 161 00:13:17,095 --> 00:13:20,855 um, question, put record. 162 00:13:27,945 --> 00:13:31,555 yeah. The second motion and not, don't take any action until that 163 00:13:32,915 --> 00:13:36,855 fourth listen. So the secretary can add that onto the minutes that y'all 164 00:13:37,055 --> 00:13:40,845 vote on at the next meeting. And if you believe that whatever's on there does 165 00:13:41,135 --> 00:13:45,055 not sufficiently reflect the conversation, then y'all can make a motion at that time to amend them, 166 00:13:45,155 --> 00:13:48,665 to ensure that it reflects that opinion. Great. 167 00:13:49,265 --> 00:13:49,615 thank you. 168 00:13:54,045 --> 00:13:57,925 so do we vote on the, the dog action or what? So 169 00:13:58,145 --> 00:14:02,105 there's not actually a motion. Okay. So you have a couple of different options. Okay. You open the floor up for motions. 170 00:14:02,495 --> 00:14:06,445 okay.
