00:00:49,039 --> 00:00:57,600
item on on the agenda is simply in the
consent agenda, which is our minutes

from the July 24th
session.

8
00:00:59,280 --> 00:01:05,360
Uh,
everybody's had a chance to look at

9
00:01:02,640 --> 00:01:09,600
those.
They were sent when they were sent to

10
00:01:06,880 --> 00:01:13,479
you. Uh, I'd entertain a motion to
approve if you were here.

11
00:01:15,119 --> 00:01:19,400

00:01:22,880 --> 00:01:31,759

I'm going to go ahead and read this. I'm

16
00:01:56,079 --> 00:02:01,799
not sure. Do we have any public comment?
Any folks?

17
00:02:06,640 --> 00:02:13,440
Okay. Anyway, I'll read this so we have
that on on record. Is the Texas Open

18
00:02:11,200 --> 00:02:18,400
Meetings Act prohibits the board from
responding to any comments other than to

19
00:02:15,440 --> 00:02:23,840
refer a matter to future agenda to an
existing policy or to make a statement

20
00:02:21,040 --> 00:02:28,640
of factual information. claims against
the city board members or employees as

21
00:02:26,080 --> 00:02:34,599
well as individual personnel appeals are
not appropriate for citizens for okay

22
00:02:40,239 --> 00:02:47,920
we do not have anyone that chooses to
make a public comment at this time we

23
00:02:45,280 --> 00:02:53,840
will have some from those who have
submitted requests I believe moving on

24
00:02:51,120 --> 00:03:00,160

Uh first is the consider request for

25
00:02:57,040 --> 00:03:05,360

26
00:03:03,040 --> 00:03:11,640
that has been withdrawn.
So that is withdrawn.

27
00:03:07,680 --> 00:03:11,640
We will forgo that.

28
00:03:14,959 --> 00:03:22,800
Next item to consider is the request for
certificate of appropriateness for

29
00:03:19,920 --> 00:03:29,920
improvements at 602 Miller Street in
Mount Vernon.

30

That's the That's the proposed
look when he's finished. Roll it up.

38
00:04:28,479 --> 00:04:32,759
What we have that's

and
currently. Well, there we go. Currently,

40
00:04:36,320 --> 00:04:44,440
that's what we have to look at.
Now, I'm sorry to interrupt.

41
00:05:05,199 --> 00:05:08,680
We are going to make

42
00:05:20,880 --> 00:05:24,440
» basically Would

43
00:05:42,720 --> 00:05:51,240
you roll it back to the one that has the
addendum in it?

44
00:05:53,520 --> 00:06:02,960
Okay. Um, and I will begin by saying
that uh you do know and I'm sure if

45
00:06:00,320 --> 00:06:09,039
you've done these before that we uh they
do not recommend painting brick, but as

46
00:06:06,160 --> 00:06:17,039
as you've said, sometimes it can't be
avoided and sometimes it's just better.

47
00:06:13,600 --> 00:06:21,919
Uh, but we do ask that you use the
breathable paints

48
00:06:19,199 --> 00:06:21,919
and

49
00:06:32,080 --> 00:06:40,800
and being the OCD person I am, I can say
that I looked that up and it is a

50
00:06:38,080 --> 00:06:43,960
breathable thing.
>> It is.

51
00:06:45,600 --> 00:06:50,880
» We're still learning about those
actually.

52
00:06:49,360 --> 00:06:57,440
increase the number that are available.
When used to they didn't have them.

53
00:06:53,199 --> 00:07:04,080
Okay. Uh the uh windows are pretty much
are going to be the same. You're making

54
00:06:59,440 --> 00:07:07,080
them fit the one the existing ones
>> and

55
00:07:08,400 --> 00:07:16,759
energy efficient. Uh they are metal but
they are white powder coat.

56
00:07:30,080 --> 00:07:37,919
doors and the doors of course will be
and you're painting this you're

57
00:07:35,759 --> 00:07:42,000
replacing with
it the post out

58
00:08:19,199 --> 00:08:23,479
I'm surprised you haven't found

59
00:08:40,320 --> 00:08:47,320
All right. Does any of the board have
any questions for our

60
00:08:52,240 --> 00:08:57,480
» How long do you think your project is
going to take to complete?

61
00:09:07,120 --> 00:09:14,640
very efficient. Okay. Uh folks, if
you're

62
00:09:13,519 --> 00:09:18,800
if you're comfortable with the
application, we entertain a motion to

appropriateness as presented.

64
00:09:21,200 --> 00:09:24,360

have unanimous decision.
Thank you, Mr.

71
00:10:05,760 --> 00:10:16,480
Moving on to our next item.
We have a consideration for a

72
00:10:14,240 --> 00:10:23,040
certificate of appropriateness for
improvements at 102 Pittsburgh Street.

73
00:10:21,120 --> 00:10:27,160
For some reason, I'd forgotten where
Pittsburgh Street was.

74
00:10:30,240 --> 00:10:43,480
Yeah. Or just
west or east there. Yeah.

75
00:10:36,560 --> 00:10:43,480
Okay. So, uh who do May I get your name?

76
00:10:43,760 --> 00:10:46,760
» Rachel.

77
00:10:48,800 --> 00:10:56,040
» And you're the owner of the property.
>> Okay. Do you also live there?

78
00:11:22,959 --> 00:11:31,800
Young lady, could you come to the mic. I
have trouble hearing.

79
00:11:28,800 --> 00:11:31,800
» Sorry.

80
00:12:01,600 --> 00:12:04,680
There is

81
00:12:05,120 --> 00:12:08,200
a reason.

82
00:12:39,440 --> 00:12:45,800
Okay. If you'd like to share those with
the board, we'll take a quick look.

83
00:12:47,440 --> 00:12:51,000
That's the color.

84
00:13:01,279 --> 00:13:04,279
Okay.

85
00:13:27,920 --> 00:13:34,680
Okay. You're not changing the windows or
anything like that. Okay.

86
00:13:46,880 --> 00:13:53,639
You own the other properties that are
along that road. Okay. Just that.

87
00:13:54,399 --> 00:13:57,399
Of

88
00:14:13,440 --> 00:14:24,320
course, all of those have the dos,
but there's

89
00:14:20,639 --> 00:14:31,760
one to the north of there that does
And so, you know, it's not a president

90
00:14:28,880 --> 00:14:42,440
situation on that. There's lots of shade
in that area there. And so,

91
00:14:37,360 --> 00:14:42,440
roof shouldn't be too much of a problem.

92
00:15:12,160 --> 00:15:15,160
question.

93
00:15:18,240 --> 00:15:25,760
» I said being a duplex and you know
rental property it is you know we want

94
00:15:24,000 --> 00:15:29,760
to make sure that they are maintained as
well as our privately owned.

95
00:15:37,360 --> 00:15:45,760
All right. Uh, that being said, if
there's no more questions for Miss Paula

96
00:15:42,880 --> 00:15:52,040
about this project, entertain a motion
to approve a certificate of

97
00:15:49,040 --> 00:15:52,040
appropriateness.

98
00:15:53,440 --> 00:15:59,199
You make the motion. Okay. Bobby has
made the motion.

99
00:16:05,600 --> 00:16:13,519
made the motion. Billy Jordan has
seconded the motion uh to award the

100
00:16:10,480 --> 00:16:18,399
certificate of appropriateness for the
project at

101
00:16:16,240 --> 00:16:25,600
102
Pittsburgh Street here in Mount Vernon.

102
00:16:21,519 --> 00:16:33,360
It's a duplex as presented with the
change in the roof, addition of the

103
00:16:29,519 --> 00:16:38,480
fresh posts and paint. Okay.
>> All right. All those in favor.

104
00:16:36,480 --> 00:16:43,839
» I
oppose. You have a

105
00:16:41,440 --> 00:16:49,920
rousing approval.
As I said, it's it's important

106
00:16:47,120 --> 00:16:54,959
to the city as a whole, I think, to make
sure that properties are given the

107
00:16:52,560 --> 00:16:58,360
attention they do. Thank you for
stepping in

108
00:17:06,480 --> 00:17:08,880
and maint

109
00:17:11,600 --> 00:17:14,839
Thank you.

110
00:17:15,760 --> 00:17:22,919
Okay.
Can I just I'm gonna add this to the

111
00:17:31,679 --> 00:17:39,960
do we have anything from the board? I
will ask that needs to be

112
00:17:36,960 --> 00:17:39,960
Next

113
00:17:44,880 --> 00:17:54,880
secretary, do we have anything in
upcoming?

114
00:17:50,080 --> 00:18:01,440
Nothing at this time. Okay. I will say
that uh I had talked with the lady uh

115
00:17:59,520 --> 00:18:07,760
that would made the withdrawal because
they had not

116
00:18:05,039 --> 00:18:15,960
completed I told her would probably be
required and she

117
00:18:10,640 --> 00:18:15,960
in that she would need to

118
00:18:17,039 --> 00:18:25,200
make sure that what was going behind it
wasn't visible.

119
00:18:22,240 --> 00:18:32,919
We got at least two that I can think of
that either metal buildings or metal

120
00:18:28,799 --> 00:18:32,919
containers that are behind

121
00:18:33,280 --> 00:18:36,760
privacy fencing.

122
00:18:36,880 --> 00:18:45,320
So, we might have that in the coming
weeks

123
00:18:41,840 --> 00:18:45,320
depending on

124
00:19:01,520 --> 00:19:06,480
» a little slow down.
>> Slow down.

125
00:19:09,600 --> 00:19:18,120
Okay, there's nothing else for the good
of I

126
00:19:14,320 --> 00:19:18,120
open for a
