[4:28] Yeah, I would make the motion that we remove it from the agenda.

[4:32] » I'll second it. >> So, you got like two motions. One to

[4:36] assess the cost and and >> I'll I'll do both of those motions. I'll

[4:41] second both of them. >> So, we got two pending motions. First

[4:45] was to assess to approve a resolution assessing costs of $2,500 plus 92787.

[4:51] » Right. >> And that was seconded by somebody.

[4:55] » Uh John made the motion and I seconded. >> Okay.

[4:58] » Second call for a vote on that one then we can do.

[5:02] » So any discussion? Call for vote. >> Linda Pedwell.

[5:06] » Yes. Tony Richards. >> Yeah.

[5:09] » Mayor Pwell. >> Yes. The second motion was to remove it

[5:13] from the agenda. And I second that motion.

[5:16] » Motion. Any discussion? >> Get on that.

[5:21] » Who made the motion to vote? >> I did.

[5:26] » Call for vote. >> Tony Richards.

[5:30] » Bedwell. >> Yes.

[5:32] » Yes.

[5:36] » The next one on here is 400 4910th Street. Which house has been

[5:41] removed? >> Yeah. And ownership [clears throat] of

[5:44] that property has changed hands. Now it is showing as being owned by US Bank

[5:49] Trust Company. I know we've had some people reach out about wanting to buy

[5:53] that. Um I just I just learned that today.

[5:59] So I'm going to try to reach out to

[6:03] council for US Bank who handled the foreclosure and see if they're

[6:07] interested in sending people their way who want to buy

[6:11] it. But otherwise, I [snorts] assume they'll be trying to sell that property.

[6:15] » There's no actual on our part now, though, right?

[6:17] » No, there's really nothing for us to do at this point.

[6:19] » We've got leans for we've got some prior leans. Um

[6:24] I don't think that >> I don't I mean is I'm a little unsure on

[6:29] some of the more recent stuff because of we have I mean there's a process we have

[6:33] to go through. We can't file the lean before

[6:35] » we just tore it down in August. >> Exactly. And that's where you sometimes

[6:40] ownership changes hands there. I need to look at what we can do leanwise

[6:44] » just so we get our lane our just so we get our money back. Yeah.

[6:49] » So that's not regions bank now. >> It's owned by US Bank Trust Company.

[6:54] » US and that just changed hands. So I just

[6:58] bele Greenville, South Carolina. >> That's the tax mailing address.

[7:10] I don't I have it written down, but I've got it [snorts] accessible to me. So,

[7:13] yeah, I'll just check on that one, but I mean, we've done everything we can do at

[7:16] this point. >> So, does that really need to stay on the

[7:19] agenda? >> I would leave it on the agenda cuz I'll

[7:21] have I'll have an update on it next month, at least.

[7:23] » Okay. Is that a motion to leave that one on

[7:26] the agenda? >> You don't need a motion. Okay.

[7:31] Do >> you want to go back and since Ron's here

[7:33] and Was it the Christy Royal property? >> 768 Street Southwest. The Royal Propel.

[7:40] » Yeah, I didn't have any pictures of that. We were just waiting on an

[7:43] invoice, wasn't we? >> No, that's the one where she's she's The

[7:47] last update was you said the owner is cleaning up the

[7:52] property, intends to remodel the house. Property's being mowed.

[7:55] » Yep. She's still working on I mean, she's around.

[7:59] It's not got like it was probably waiting on invoice on that too.

[8:07] » Said he turned two in, but both of them had the wrong address and he was correct

[8:11] in that. I don't know if you got that. >> We're waiting on him on the 102 8th

[8:15] Street Southwest. >> Well, he turned all of them in or both

[8:20] of them in, but he had wrong addresses on both of them. I have to change it.

[8:24] Okay. >> I don't know.

[8:25] » I haven't seen anything. Claudia knows cuz that's who we were kind of three-way

[8:30] call. I went on that. >> She hasn't provided anything to me.

[8:34] » Okay. >> Yeah. I don't see anything on this.

[8:37] » Well, that's where that's at. >> Okay.

[8:39] » I don't remember what addresses he had, but I wasn't correct.

[8:44] That might have been the confusion. Probably think he had turned in a long

[8:49] time ago. He said he's already been paid.

[8:52] been paid. >> He said

[8:54] on the royal property that the invoice was addressed wrong, so he was going to

[8:59] correct that. And >> I think the invoices are already turned

[9:03] in. >> Okay. Well, I've still never seen him.

[9:06] So, >> I haven't seen it, but I'll track that

[9:08] down. It may have already been paid. We still should have a doctor.

[9:11] » I don't know about the 102, but the Royal, he said he's already paid on it.

[9:15] And he might have meant the other one, too.

[9:18] But he said he wasn't worried about it. He already has money.

[9:23] That's the main thing, I guess. So, the next one, if that one's all

[9:27] right. 76 G Street Northeast

[9:31] 760. >> 760. Yeah. So, that one is the one where

[9:37] um he keeps saying that it's going back to

[9:42] Regent's Bank, but there's no foreclosure case pending still. So I

[9:47] don't >> that's a change on it.

[9:49] » I don't know how long you guys want to wait

[9:52] » and just and just having a foreclosure pending is doesn't really give us any

[9:57] » we've been bailing them. >> That's a Luke manual property.

[10:01] » Yeah.

[10:05] » So the bank hadn't really executed a foreclosure on not filed anything. I

[10:10] mean, he's if he's not paying the mortgage,

[10:13] they will eventually, but they'll, you know, they drag their feet until the

[10:17] properties worthless and then they, you know, I don't know,

[10:23] but nothing nothing's been filed yet. We >> know we motor twice. I'll have to ask

[10:29] Tom. Do you know? >> I think it's three times.

[10:32] » We motor three times now. >> Yeah. And all the invoices came back

[10:35] because deliverable loss vacant residence.

[10:40] » Yeah. >> No forwarding address.

[10:44] » Okay. Well, I check with regions to find out the status of it. Other than that, I

[10:49] don't know what else we can do. Keep going in the past.

[10:52] » Let's find a mailing address for >> is keeping is just keeping it mode. I

[10:56] mean, for now, is that maintaining the property in

[10:59] » that's all >> good enough shape that

[11:01] » it's the only thing it really needs at this moment? No.

[11:04] » So then I would just keep doing that just but we need to get the the demand

[11:08] letters sent and the mowing leans recorded because eventually

[11:12] you know if we've got those leans bank will file for closure. They'll name us

[11:17] as a party. They'll make sure those leans get paid and they'll have to to

[11:22] finish the foreclosure process. >> I can call him. I'm do his number now. I

[11:27] can see where his new address is.

[11:33] You going to check with Tom if he's moed or

[11:36] » I've got the records there. I'm pretty sure it's three modes. I've [snorts] got

[11:39] the invoices written down there in the office. I can send you if you need to

[11:43] send them. >> Yeah. I Well, I don't and I don't know

[11:46] with Claudia being out. I think isn't I thought the city was sending those

[11:51] » invoices out now. >> Yeah, I've been sending them. They just

[11:54] come back as the undeliverable because vacant residence

[11:59] and it says no forwarding address. >> Okay.

[12:01] » Yeah, there's no way. >> Well, at some point we Yeah, at some

[12:04] point we need to to get the leans recorded for all the people who've been

[12:07] sent >> notice and haven't paid

[12:12] because those mowing leans actually generally get paid.

[12:15] » Yeah. Well, I mean the only ones that I've noticed that haven't been paid are

[12:19] the ones that get returned because no deliverable address. Well, I just mean

[12:22] when they get added to the taxes eventually, they're not they're not so

[12:25] big that somebody's going to not pay the taxes over it. You know, when you tear

[12:29] down a house and put a >> $7,000 lean on an empty lot, then you

[12:33] can understand why that doesn't get paid.

[12:35] » Yeah.

[12:40] » Next one on there is 109 10th Street Northeast.

[12:43] » This is what I was referenced before the meeting starts. We've got to punt all

[12:46] four of these to October because title work didn't come back until late last

[12:51] week. >> That's these pictures here.

[12:58] » The 109th Street. >> Yes.

[13:03] » That's all I see. The next floor. >> Yep.

[13:06] » So that 109 to 703.

[13:10] » Yep. Then I'll I'll have those they'll have plenty of notice for the October

[13:15] meeting, but we couldn't get them out quick enough.

[13:17] » You know, 48 48 89D and 7.

[13:22] » 48 is pictured in here, too, if you want to look at that.

[13:32] » Is that the one? >> Yeah.

[13:35] » We talked about this. >> Is this the one that's duplex? Yeah.

[13:49] This hasn't changed much from last meeting, has it?

[13:53] » It has changed a little bit. There's I think it's moved around and organized

[13:59] a little bit.

[14:02] They're just living right there where it's at. There's just no grass left.

[14:06] Clean that one. Total clutter.

[14:11] I mean, it's not trash. It's bicycles.

[14:21] » Charlie hasn't done anything. >> What's that?

[14:24] » This Charlie Anderson? >> Yeah. Yeah.

[14:29] » This hidden trash. >> Look at it. You see any trash?

[14:32] » Not in his view. >> Look out.

[14:35] » What is that? >> There's like an old jug of something. An

[14:38] old Looks like a truck. >> Well, it's a truck, but the truck's got

[14:42] junk in on it. >> Yeah,

[14:44] » I see a tire. I I went by there specifically to look

[14:49] for actual garbage. There's tools, windows, tool boxes,

[14:56] [snorts] trash cans.

[14:59] » It would it wouldn't preclude us from cleaning it up just cuz none of it's

[15:03] trash. Still debris. And >> like that could have mosquitoes in it.

[15:09] look good.

[15:13] » Does he sell stuff or what's he what's he do? Crap.

[15:16] » I don't know what he does. >> Like these cans and buckets that are

[15:20] here. I mean, we haven't had any rain, but if we ever

[15:24] get rain, they could certainly fill full of water. And we've already got West

[15:29] Nile virus in Green County. So, >> yeah, we need to put that in a notice or

[15:34] something about tires. I've been around about tires all over town today.

[15:41] Well, everywhere I have tires and I let them know they need to cover [snorts]

[15:45] them, put them up.

[15:54] » John, do you remember are are we still taking tires at the recycle

[16:00] for the uh the grant? >> I don't We didn't meet last month

[16:05] because of the budget here. So I don't >> I was trying to remember if we uh

[16:10] » I don't remember. They're still taking tires.

[16:14] » Yeah. I I can call >> and call.

[16:18] » Yeah. >> I mean he would definitely know.

[16:22] » Yeah. We know. We just don't remember. Or I don't.

[16:30] » So we leave those four on the list just to get an idea. Yeah,

[16:35] the note I got from Linda actually she had talked to Ed. He come and talk to me

[16:41] about it and I said she can let me know what's going on with the roof and all I

[16:44] got was this note that said she has been asked to send the name of my contractor

[16:49] who is your contract which [snorts] is all she said. I think

[16:53] we found out last month. >> Who's that? This one.

[16:56] » Yeah. >> Yeah.

[16:56] » Linda. >> Yeah. That's all she get out.

[17:02] I don't know how that >> and there's no update on when he's when

[17:05] the contractor is supposed to be doing anything.

[17:08] » I asked for timeline and everything. >> He would do these pictures

[17:12] and see the condition of the house. This >> car has property next door. He said he

[17:19] would buy it if she wanted to sell it. The doctor's office north of it said the

[17:24] same. She does know this. Her son's trying to

[17:28] get her to do something and I don't know where she's at now.

[17:32] She's not living in this [snorts] house. >> She's not living in the house. I

[17:34] understand. She's apartment. >> Yeah, that's

[17:39] » Well, we dealt with this. Gosh, it's been

[17:44] » a few years back. >> Yeah,

[17:46] » Harry looked at it for hands up for housing

[17:50] and said it was too far gone for them. So,

[17:52] » I think Harry looked at it. I think Harold Smith looked at it.

[17:56] Smith's looked at >> and we

[17:58] » Harold Smith didn't want to get anybody on it.

[18:01] » He's got a church group that helps him and he said he doesn't feel

[18:06] » so we're waiting on title work for this. >> Yep.

[18:08] » So we >> I have Well, I have the title work now.

[18:10] I just didn't have it in time to >> Okay.

[18:12] » So it'll we'll we'll be good to go for it next week.

[18:15] » Okay. >> It'll stay until next month.

[18:17] » Yeah. I see.

[18:23] Okay. That also title work for the the fourth one. You say, Sam, the 70.

[18:32] » That's the pictures right here. They actually finally cut some stuff

[18:39] down and picked up some things. [snorts] It's still a mess. And he had tires out

[18:44] there and they changed their phone number. I can't get a hold of them to

[18:47] get anything done. L know that the tires need to go.

[18:54] out by the garage. They did whack down the weeds by the

[18:58] garage and I don't think anybody's living there either.

[19:05] » I'm just asking cuz I don't Is that like a demolition

[19:09] car there?

[19:18] cuz there's tubs there that are sitting that like I said if we ever

[19:23] » ever get rain they're going to fill with water.

[19:26] » Yeah, we got that whole month

[19:35] next month ready to go. [snorts]

[19:42] Last item on here is 642 East Street Northwest.

[19:45] » That's still daycare. Uh they went and mowed it all. The fence lines are still

[19:50] high and there's still lemon garage, but they're keeping it.

[19:59] » Nobody's living there, are they? Or some was

[20:02] » across the street living there now. some relative Joe.

[20:11] I every once in a while I see a car there. There wasn't one there today.

[20:16] I haven't seen one, but the yard's been knocked down. I thank Kindland taking

[20:21] care of the property.

[20:26] » Which property was that on? >> That's the old daycare.

[20:29] » This one? >> No, this one.

[20:33] » Street 642. >> Okay.

[20:45] just left it on the agenda to keep an eye on it.

[20:51] » Okay. So, we need to leave that one on the agenda.

[20:59] » He said, "Do we need >> three years?"

[21:01] » Keep that on the agenda. >> Absolutely.

[21:04] Yeah. It's been on the agenda for years. It's just

[21:11] a little when they do [clears throat]

[21:14] » like Dominic Kabazi. >> Yeah.

[21:18] » Did Dominic paid his lean coming in? >> I've not heard I think he didn't even

[21:24] message for me to call in about the lean. I haven't seen anything.

[21:29] I'll check. >> She's still around. I don't even know.

[21:32] That's the other one on the one that should have got their attention was

[21:35] Adams cuz he's a I think he's a retired vet who pays like $6 a year in property

[21:40] tax or something and then we slapped a $2,000

[21:44] » lean on their property which they last time I looked they hadn't paid yet.

[21:52] » Last time he was here.

[21:56] » Okay. I'm having a hard time. I think he still lives in Teroot.

[21:59] [snorts] You're talking about You're talking about Yeah. What you're talking

[22:03] about? >> We're talking about the street guy or

[22:06] I'm sorry, I street guy. Remember he rode his bike.

[22:12] Yeah. >> Him and I were

[22:15] » guys in the hospital. That's what he told us when Chris was

[22:20] there.

[22:23] They had a hard time letting go of stuff.

[22:29] » [snorts] >> I mean, it's either in the garage or in

[22:33] the dumpster or off the property and you got

[22:37] » they just keep bringing more stuff every time

[22:41] » dealt with them a bunch of times.

[22:45] » And it's good for old business under new business

[22:52] on the agenda. What I have is to add is trying to I'm going to add two new

[22:56] people. I can put up to four people on the border works and trying to basically

[23:01] do the border works and public safety. So I've [snorts] asked Gayen Daly and

[23:06] Rinson to add to the border works so that we can begin to focus more on the

[23:11] public safety side as well as the blended property. [snorts] I'm not sure

[23:14] where that stands on those. >> I've got there's a notice that's got to

[23:18] be published, but we can have them >> [snorts]

[23:22] » ready to go by the next meeting, I would think.

[23:26] So, they both agreed and Gayla's here and get an idea, but I think that will

[23:31] help with some of the issues I think that uh James is looking at from a

[23:35] public safety standpoint that will help us get a little more focus on that side

[23:39] of it. So,

[23:44] that's the only new business I have. Any other new business? Any other

[23:47] properties? >> Can we get a couple more chairs?

[23:50] I was going to bring it up, but it got mowed. The

[23:54] » fast pace, >> it was looking bad, but it got mowed.

[23:59] » Tom m it somebody else went back and done the front.

[24:02] » Tony mowed it. I think you contacted the owner out there in San Diego. Somebody

[24:08] weeded the front and everything. >> Yeah, they looked the worst of all the

[24:14] clinic. And the other one they emailed me again about

[24:20] the other day that I'd already called her. Then I asked her about the email

[24:23] and she said another colleague done it. So I don't know if those two talked to

[24:27] each other needed to because it's been taken care

[24:30] of and they took care of but we didn't. >> That's what I thought was already taken

[24:33] care of. >> We just noticed they done it done. That

[24:38] was a business out west of town. That guy sent me an email on about the uh the

[24:43] weeds with it in front of the back building or something. The

[24:46] » gas station Jimmy Wright's old chicken building in the back of the car wash.

[24:51] Remember when he had the car wash out there?

[24:53] » Yeah, it was all ged up and there was critters in it. There was complaints on

[24:56] it, but they took care of it. I guess there's not open because he can't find

[25:02] employees now that the guy that runs the gas

[25:07] station different from the owners. I give the guy that run the gas station

[25:12] a chance to do it. So I had to get a hold of the owners to do it with the

[25:16] notice. That's why it all got escalated. >> Both properties.

[25:22] » Well, it's the front porch. They called down there and thought people were

[25:26] squatting in their business. >> That's across from Bender L. Well, it's

[25:32] not Bender L. >> Well, there was a guy that [snorts] had

[25:36] a management firm that rented it to them that filed bankruptcy and left. They

[25:41] just didn't pay anybody and stayed. So, they couldn't be evicted at that point

[25:46] or they would have had to been evicted at that point. They wasn't really

[25:48] squatting. They just wasn't paying much. But that's all they worked out a

[25:54] contract fixed all that. So when they got a notice from us that's why she

[26:00] kind of panic had somebody

[26:04] all taken care of. >> Any other new business to add?

[26:14] Public comment.

[26:19] [snorts] You got anything? No. All right.

[26:24] » All right. A motion to adjurnn. >> I make that motion.

[26:29] » Secondly made [clears throat] second to adjourn. Any discussion? Call for vote.

[26:33] » Tony Richards. >> Yes.

[26:36] » Linda. >> Yes. Mayor.

[26:38] » Yes. >> Thank you all.

[26:49] I have a picture.
