on there or sure [3:54] sure i didn't know if that would help any with the other list of streets [3:59] no no no leave it on there all right because [4:02] we could always make it on the road dog greg [4:05] if they give us money for it we could say something else i think you know [4:09] yeah okay if that's possible i don't know i think [4:13] that we've done in the past anyhow okay all right i just wanted to bring it to [4:17] attention that we did have it on our paving list yeah and then there's two [4:22] okay under the 2021 gtrp melissa have you heard anything from harrisburg [4:28] that's where i applied for a grant for the walking trail [4:31] nothing yet well that's good news [4:37] there's no rejection yeah [4:40] from our representatives to support the grant [4:44] so [4:47]

and john street [5:57] uh i got [5:59] the news i got from el grande it's late in the season he's trying to [6:03] finish up projects that he already started [6:06] in other municipalities he's telling me that looks like it won't [6:10] be we won't be getting to these streets until early spring [6:18] where's john street at great now i'm going to the fire station [6:22] johnson johnston hi johnson [6:26] yes johnson johnson okay because i've been [6:29] here a long time never heard that one johnson i got it [6:35] way to be on the ball doug yeah very good thank you [6:43] that completes my report okay any questions that dawn [6:48] real quick you got on there on on your thing 1006 monroe it's uh 1106 monroe [6:54] for that demo right we talked about that before yeah i'll change that [6:58] and also don you got an allegheny fence quote for some [7:04] chain-link fence it says dawn to discuss with council [7:11] the fencing behind the uh the bleachers [7:17] yeah didn't i [7:21] melissa i sent you that quote yeah and then i sent it off to council [7:26] it's in their packets it should be in your packet as well don all right bobby [7:30] you want to explain that all right what what we're looking for is [7:34] uh we got to put a four foot high fence behind [7:39] the bleachers at the ball field uh because the kids are [7:45] throwing rocks down they're climbing up there so i figure if we put a fence up [7:49] that will at least shield anybody in case any of the rocks came down [7:53] and you're sitting there with your back to the wall and a rock comes and hits [7:56] you there's a fence to protect you i seriously think we need to put that [8:01] fence up on that wall behind the bleachers [8:04] would they just attach it to the blocks or do you have to yeah just like they [8:08] did down at the back side of the road okay same thing [8:13] i think it's a good idea yeah good idea bob [8:16] yep okay how much is that price did anybody [8:19] get a price yet yeah go ahead [8:23] fifty six hundred and forty dollars wow how much did they charge us for that one [8:29] behind the wall of the thing do you have that it there [8:33] well is there anybody i don't have that right here with me [8:38] i wonder [8:42] there's the alternate furnish additional four foot high fence [8:47] uh for ever every 20 lineal feet of four foot [8:52] high fence added add another thousand forty i don't understand that what's [8:56] happening that's they gave us a price per foot to put that fence in [9:01] oh behind the bleachers [9:04] so they're indicating it to be five thousand six forty [9:09] yeah it's about seventy feet or eighty feet i forget what we measure [9:13] don you'll look at it whatever price per foot we had they'll do it [9:17] right there's eighty feet uh bob yeah and they'll do it for the same price per [9:23] foot they pay we they try other stuff right yes mark okay okay is [9:28] everybody okay with that yeah yeah what are they thinking about [9:32] doing this guys did you know bob or don when they're [9:36] gonna do it what's your question uh when [9:40] if we approve this when when would they when would they do this [9:44] uh pretty fast okay because it took me quite a while to [9:49] come back for the uh right building i'm just wondering you know if we're talking [9:53] this year we're talking spring oh no we're talking about within a week or so [9:56] oh okay all right do you want to check with him [9:59] dawn and then just let melissa or so she can let the dougie and the guys and [10:03] bobby no sure okay okay and then we can just ratify [10:07] this at the next meeting if everybody's good with that [10:11] all right [10:14] questions are done good idea bobby [10:18] any any other questions don ah no not me [10:24] okay all right who wants to go next [10:27] mayor i just have statistics i'm good [10:31] all right and the chief has any issues or anything [10:34] nothing oh they stopped over that house with the oil twice yesterday but no one [10:39] was ever there [10:42] yeah he stopped over in the day did anybody go back at night chris planted [10:46] starting tonight and nobody was there then either [10:50] maybe you could just put on your list to have them go a couple more times see if [10:53] we can get a hold of someone i'll be stopping shortly i'll ask them to check [10:57] on okay and for anybody that don't know [11:00] what happened there the garbage man went through the alley [11:05] and there was oil spilled along the gutter [11:09] so i don't know melissa you could tell them the neighbor called in and said [11:12] that this guy puts out oil more than this is more than the first time he's [11:16] did it and [11:18] joe says his trucks have cameras we blamed it on the garbage men initially [11:21] but it was in the gutter pan right by the [11:25] curb line and joe's truck first of all it was a newer truck and if it leaks oh [11:28] it's leaking in the middle not on the curb so this guy put out this oil [11:32] supposedly and whether it knocked over he knocked it over but before the [11:36] garbage men got there it was the spill was already along the side of this curb [11:40] whether they picked it up or whatever i don't know what but this guy's putting [11:44] out waste oil you can't put waste oil out in your garbage [11:47] we're at mark um [11:49] where was that at i think it was 10 14 morton i'll have to [11:53] pull because we did vote enforcement doug and you can see that [11:59] in in uh pleasant alley all right you're driving the valley you could [12:03] specifically see it came right out from right where the garbage cans onto this [12:07] home motor and went down whatever 50 100 feet down [12:11] fireman went and cleaned it all up for us at night so it's taken care of [12:15] melissa is sending this guy a letter stating you cannot put on any type of [12:19] waste oil if you are do not do it again there's been a spill and then the police [12:25] were going to stop over and just see them [12:27] to tell them that that there's oil that come out from your garbage you cannot [12:31] put out waste on don't do it you know saying you did it or you didn't because [12:34] they can't prove it but it came from your area make sure you don't put out [12:40] waste oil because that's illegal to put it out in the garbage you have to take [12:42] it to a waste oil place you could take it to [12:45] sam i mean not sam's but you know walmart or wherever these [12:49] different places are they'll take it you just have to get in your car and drive [12:53] autozone takes it autozone takes it yeah the guy buys his oil there [12:59] that's cool anyhow that was the problem here okay go ahead what else brian [13:04] you guys are very visible if you look at the monthly report you can see they're [13:07] running a lot of traffic and they seem to be monitoring the borrower [13:10] pretty well all right [13:14] anybody else questions of the mayor yeah i have one [13:20] brian are we still doing this uh extra duty on traffic [13:25] he's not gonna do it now until the holidays start again [13:28] okay i just wonder because i noticed a month ago [13:32] i noticed the the list of uh citations and that went down a little [13:37] bit from september so [13:40] with the hell are we coming and having the manpower out we'll be starting again [13:44] probably like the week before thanksgiving [13:46] okay all right how about did you guys are lining up or whatever those stun [13:53] guns or that training with the whatever they're called [13:58] their training is all done for this year uh dave will put it in place with our [14:01] in-house teacher for next year yeah well didn't didn't they want to get [14:05] training this year isn't that one guy that works for us said he would do it or [14:09] no yeah um don mclaughlin said he'll be our [14:12] lead on all our education he has all kinds of [14:16] certifications he's going to make a list that i can give you guys so what i guess [14:21] what i'm asking is anybody of our police that are not certified with the taser [14:26] not everybody's good for this year oh okay okay well they made it sound like [14:29] he had to go to school because he wasn't certified okay no he wanted to be a [14:33] teacher he wanted a team i already have one all [14:36] right okay any other questions that are police [14:40] mayor no [14:42] okay next we'll go with um who wants to start [14:47] i see kenny's face first so we'll start with him oh okay [14:52] all right i really don't have anything uh [14:54] as per code enforcement i had about 12 hearings again today [14:59] um i got the fire report here cemented by [15:03] the fire department we had a budget meeting we did that [15:08] that's about it hey what happens at these hearings kenny [15:11] what is the magistrate doing to these people who are not doing or whatever [15:15] well it depends like he's been issuing a lot of our maximum fines lately so [15:19] that's a good thing so and then you know what they have so many times days to [15:22] clean up to get out of it or well they they get fined and they have [15:27] to pay to find there's no hands if they're bucks and if [15:30] they don't pay then he can issue the warrants like he [15:33] did for that one individual and then [15:37] they're gonna be arrested okay and then but if they don't if they [15:41] don't cut or deal with the violation can we recharge i mean re issue oh yeah [15:47] yes okay [15:49] all right so maybe i have a i have a couple that's been cited several times [15:54] this summer the same houses so okay yeah [15:58] all right anybody got any questions with ken [16:01] all right next up who do i see next bobby [16:06] yeah all right i got the report the recreation report i want to [16:12] we got to go over getting this building ready to open [16:16] uh first week of december so what i want to do is i want to finalize [16:21] our our fees

got their paperwork in they got they're paid they [16:38] got their key codes or fobs whatever and they [16:41] could start practicing december 4th is what i because i'm getting [16:46] bombarded with requests to get get uh get this going so if we're pushing it [16:51] till december third which is the grand opening [16:54] i was talking to melissa to where she's gonna have all the paperwork lined [17:00] up and the people can download them online and fill them up bring them into [17:04] her with the schedules their dates their times so we know what they're going to [17:08] pay they could have

the [17:22] agreements the applications and hold harmless to the websites and then [17:26] they'll go online print them out fill them out bring them to melissa and then [17:31] we could get this ball

want to leave before giving like the report of what's going on okay go ahead [18:03] so all we have right now is i was gonna ask um are we still doing the burro [18:08] building like santa thing [18:11] is it like yeah we're gonna [18:16] but the answer is no it's going to be changed over to the rec center the same [18:20] night we're doing the grand opening okay because i was going to say i'm the one [18:24] planning the one for the school like the breakfast with the santa and i was gonna [18:27] say if you guys were doing it maybe we should do it on different days so that [18:30] more kids will come to port view because sometimes it's been the past it's been [18:34] on the same day so what day is yours [18:37] i think we're planning for december 4th or december 11th [18:47] so it won't be your date ariana okay that sounds good thank you [18:51] okay and then the only yeah i was going to say as for working [18:55] with you can work with bobby and you know whatever uh the committee or [18:58] melissa that get it all together okay [19:02] all right and then i think that was all pretty much i had [19:05] because the only thing going around the school [19:07] right now is that we're going to playoffs for the school and i know [19:09] that's a big deal because it hasn't happened like 12 years [19:13] yeah what's that friday yeah this is friday at keystone oaks i'm pretty sure [19:18] oh good how's the coveted in the school a couple years ago [19:23] uh it's interesting it's what [19:26] um it's very interesting what the coven [19:31] yeah it's a lot of um if one kid gets sick they have to spray down the room [19:35] everybody has to like get out of the room [19:37] it's a lot of going back and forth is there a lot of kids getting sick or [19:41] getting it um i think there was more like two weeks [19:44] ago than there is now but i have a feeling that there's gonna be more soon [19:48] good okay anybody getting questions of ariana [19:53] before she goes nope nope okay dear have fun [19:57] bye bye [19:59] thank you for your report [20:03] okay bobby go ahead okay now what we we got to uh i know we [20:09] agreed on a while ago correct me if i'm wrong doug on prices for [20:14] these rentals that it was 25 an hour per south allegheny [20:19] organizations and 75 for outside am i correct on that doug you were correct [20:24] that was what since day one we kind of said yeah okay but we also [20:29] we wanted to make sure patty understands that patty you still there yeah i'm here [20:33] is that okay that we have different rates of course for i don't [20:38] know how to do what they're saying people from port view maybe or people [20:42] from south allegheny but other ones outsiders they want to charge more prior [20:45] is that okay you can do that all right go ahead [20:49] one more thing bobby before you continue uh under that [20:54] same talk we talked about renting like a third of the [20:58] area well it all depends on [21:02] who whoever wants who you know what i mean if someone wants to [21:05] come in and and rent a third of the area now [21:09] what are you going to charge 11. that's why i want to bring it up [21:12] that's when we were talking about it before brian left yeah i think it should [21:17] be i mean if we were going to do it to where three people were needed at the [21:22] same time and you can bust it down into three different sections [21:26] and that would probably be you know so far i don't have that high [21:30] of a demand that that we would you know cross [21:34] cross book like that to where we would have three different people wanting the [21:38] same time slot the time slots are pretty much filled out and [21:43] so far you know no one's you know they've all [21:46] been pretty much like okay i'll take this and i'll i'll then the other group [21:51] will take this and so i've done a good job of keeping them all [21:55] to where we don't have to have two separate entities in there at the same [21:58] time let alone three so i mean it's something [22:02] it's going to come yeah it's going to [22:05] it's going to but [22:08] now as of right now i got 14 teams booked and uh [22:14] every day of the week some days i got the most the men [22:18] girls and boys soccer from the high school just agree want to do it uh they [22:22] won three hours on sunday evenings every sunday so [22:27] we we got it pretty much every every day of the week's taken care [22:30] of so you're going to put a little list [22:32] together you're going to put a little list together in the days [22:36] yes as soon as i get close we get close enough to where i have okay finalize [22:40] who's going to be in there when and uh then if we get any new ones that'll just [22:46] be an add-on on onto the list but right now like i said i got 14 of them [22:50] and and they're all chomping at the bit to get in there so [22:54] all right now dougie do we still want to have a meeting just on this to finalize [22:59] all the paperwork and do whatever or are we okay on the paperwork and it's just a [23:04] matter of well patty drew up the paperwork right [23:08] yeah and we based it off of um we based it [23:12] off of um how we have our own other rentals correct [23:17] basically basically yeah basically yeah basically so um i [23:22] don't i don't see i just don't want to i'm i'm with bob [23:25] here i don't want to waste any more time so to speak you know if you guys if [23:28] class was okay with the 25 and 75 and ken has a good point i think down the [23:32] road we're gonna have to address the three freeway there you know i mean [23:35] maybe do 20 bucks at an iris let me have it for a second or something [23:40] but um if we're not in that problem nothing i'd say we run with it december [23:43] 4th as long as the paperwork is not good and everyone's okay with the 25.75 and [23:48] is is everybody okay with that date that friday and let's talk about third [23:54] time we wanted to do the grand opening right [23:57] before and then we'll do the santa right after [24:01] so what time would you like to do the grand opening that will cut the ribbon [24:04] we'll have the officials there we'll unveil the plaques let them talk a [24:07] little bit whatever i don't think it's more than a half hour well i i think [24:11] you're going to be wrong on that mark go ahead i think it's really long and a [24:14] half an hour guarantee it well if we do that at five and then we [24:18] can do sand at six that'll give you an hour yeah that's more like it because [24:23] i you know half hour sometimes they use half an hour to get done yeah it might [24:27] take them 15 minutes to get ready right yeah you know [24:30] all right is everybody good with those times five o'clock and then six o'clock [24:34] for the santa thing yep [24:38] is that okay everybody think that's a good time [24:42] the thought was maybe open up the big garage door first [24:46] we'll put the red ribbon or whatever across there and then everybody can [24:49] stand behind with their scissors and do the cutting or whatever [24:52] and then we can just talk from there or walk in towards the [24:56] kitchen area and split up on both sides and then the plaques will be right up [25:00] there wherever bobby puts them when they'll be covered [25:02] and then you know we can do our little talks or whatever [25:05] and then um unveil the plaques and then introduce the officials and everybody [25:09] and then you know they want to say something or whatever [25:12] everybody okay with that yep yep [25:16] okay and then maybe they can they'll see but they're just talking debbie [25:20] come up with a good idea for the santa thing [25:23] um maybe they could come in the door that comes in to go into the building [25:28] the small door you know the entrance door by the handicap ramp [25:32] come in make a right the parents and the things can socially [25:37] distance walk down and right where the garage door is would close the garage [25:40] door for the santa and open up those gates and santa could be sitting right [25:44] in there on his chair with a couple trees or whatever bobby decorates and we [25:48] can put washing tape across so the kids can just stop and talk to stannah ten [25:52] foot away or whatever and then after they tell him what he [25:55] wants or whatever then they could walk down towards the kitchen and then you [25:59] guys can hand out the treat bags and they could get on look they could see [26:02] the inside of the place and then look walk out the exit doors [26:06] um you know the emergency exit down by the generator we looked at night that's [26:09] all nice and lit up and we could get the firemen down there with more lights and [26:13] they can walk back out and go ahead and leave [26:16] that way nobody's sitting and doing anything [26:19] um so what do you think of that that was debbie's idea and we all kind of talked [26:24] a little bit thought that was a great idea [26:28] sounds good to me all right everybody else okay with it [26:32] good all right bobby's life a little easier [26:36] don't have to congregate outside and won't have to do all that decoration [26:40] he'll just do inside to make it look nice for the kids [26:43] all right and then i don't know about the treat bags anybody ordering them or [26:46] doing that their order i ordered okay [26:50] i'm also i was going to order um the pre-packaged cookies so that nobody's [26:55] really typing cookies just like a pre-wrapped cookie [26:59] mark de carlo is going to get me some prices on that and i don't know if you [27:03] guys want to get into the hot cocoa but i don't think [27:06] anybody's really gonna have time if we're [27:09] doing um [27:11] you know the the grand opening we gotta have somebody manning like a hot cocoa [27:16] station and passing out cocoa yeah maybe maybe [27:20] better like wherever you hand out to treat bags we i got them little small [27:24] little pint-sized bottles of water i give customers maybe we can get some of [27:27] them and they're just you know pint-sized small bottles they can just [27:31] take their treat bag in the water and just go ahead and walk out if they want [27:34] to drink it or take it home or whatever what do you think [27:38] make it simple yeah [27:42] either that or take a hug and go [27:45] i mean if the idea is to not have anyone congregate you got to have you couldn't [27:48] have a hot sauce i mean hot hot chocolate station anyhow if you're [27:52] if your idea is just to move them through you know i [27:55] mean let them get their treat and roll then we gotta just hand out even if it's [27:59] like uh orange drinks or something like grade gave away you know what i mean [28:02] right yeah [28:04] i think but they could just take that and go too and drink it outside or in [28:07] their car all right [28:11] so that's the plan we'll try to work towards anybody get any other ideas or [28:15] suggestions you know just but whatever bobby melissa i think [28:19] debbie came up with a great idea to do yes that was great that was good [28:25] yeah i liked it i think it's gonna work really well yeah just for this year and [28:30] then that way you'll move them through and hey we'll be down here the same [28:33] night for both that way we're already there we can stay the rest of the time [28:36] whatever whoever has to go or stay and then we'll you know have an early night [28:40] moving along who's going to be we have someone to be santa or someone [28:47] huh it's usually steve [28:50] all right somebody going to contact them and check with them [28:53] bobby [28:56] who wants to contact them he's citizens committee he knows all about that [29:01] we ought to tell him the date and the time though well we will okay but [29:06] yeah we'll take care of it okay you'll call him doug and then let [29:08] melissa know he's okay all right all right anybody got any other [29:12] questions of that right now on as for the cleaning guy he'll come in about a [29:16] week before this opening because bobby got to get a refrigerator [29:20] in there yet in the kitchen um joe's working on the roll-up door [29:25] okay that will lock and um [29:28] and then he he like to come in and clean it when everybody's done a few days [29:32] before the week before so nobody dirties he'll come in and clean the whole thing [29:35] real nice well i sure hope chain gets in there and [29:39] does them ceilings before all this happens [29:41] well if he does he does if he doesn't we're not going to stop and wait for [29:44] that he'll have to come in he'll have to come in another time [29:48] another place we'll we'll tell him when he can come in after that [29:51] oh you hear that dawn yeah i'm listening yeah oh he could get in there like [29:56] bobby's saying we really don't want to come in and grind in the ceilings and [30:00] the explorers are done they better cover the floors with the ladder they better [30:03] not scrape them floors or they'll be paying for them um [30:07] see if he can't get him in there in the next week or so because [30:10] a week before is when that john wants to clean up so he has until like [30:15] the third week the end of the third week in november [30:21] yeah we'll we'll coordinate those efforts all right otherwise after that [30:25] he just can't come in when he wants he has to say [30:28] right right guys bobby [30:30] yeah you don't have a key right okay yep and and the keys change so [30:35] all right anything else bob yeah i stand a lot but [30:40] i'll just real quick i guess um we gotta come up with a [30:46] uh security deposit on these fobs was was fifty dollars agreed upon [30:52] well let's talk about bob and we're gonna have a security deposit on the [30:56] building if they leave it a mess okay maybe you can add it both into one [31:01] fobs and the building um but what do we do now melissa do we have a security [31:06] deposit when they rent the building downstairs [31:09] no because normally they just call the police and [31:13] the police come and unlock the building we don't get into dirty deposit [31:19] they have a security deposit in case they mess up the building but we don't [31:24] give them a fob no no honey what is the security deposit for the building i'm [31:28] asking downstairs 250 200 200 so what do you guys think it [31:34] should be if we do the fob in the building or deposit [31:39] well first person for hold on let me you [31:42] you're renting you're talking about a one-time rental down in the social hall [31:47] a one-day rental these people plan on renting it for four months out of the [31:51] year so one security deposit that's all they write a check we don't even cash it [31:55] we just hold it [31:59] if they run it once if they run it for four months you can't hold the check too [32:03] long huh you can't hold a check too long [32:06] because then it won't be any good three months [32:10] they can write another one well what do you want to do let's get i [32:14] don't know you just decide on that i'm i'm bewildered with all this you know i [32:19] i thought a 50 security deposit on the fobs that people are going to rent it uh [32:24] they're going to take care of it or they're not going to be allowed back in [32:27] i you know but we've got to pay someone to take care of it and clean it if they [32:30] make a mess it shouldn't be on our dime it should be [32:34] on if they make a mess that then they could be thrown out they can be thrown [32:38] out but we still got to pay to have it clean [32:40] taxpayers dollars and you know what guys i think you do need to to take a hard [32:45] line on on what their obligation is [32:49] all right well that's why it should all be written in this wording that we have [32:53] them signed that they're responsible and in the event that they don't leave [32:57] it as found then you know we will enact their [33:00] security department and they may or may not be able to use the facilities in the [33:03] future something like that so what do you do with the people that want to rent [33:06] it for one night you're going to charge them a security deposit [33:12] yes same way they would rent the building [33:15] over at the borough building one time no if they want to run it for two hours to [33:19] go play baseball they get to pay a 200 security deposit well i don't know maybe [33:23] we can make it a hundred i just think we ought to do something and then you're [33:27] not gonna have anyone renting the place awesome it's that simple [33:31] what do you do at the other places john i'm sure they'll pay bob they'll put up [33:35] a security or whatever if you want to rent the place for one night for to [33:38] pitch to your kid for 25 an hour why are you going to put up a 100 security [33:42] deposit that's me well [33:46] do they do that at these other places dougie do you ever rent one of these [33:49] other places that are facilities i never did but that's a business too though you [33:53] know what i mean well [33:55] we ought to run this like a business too [33:59] why don't we check into that and see what they charge or whatever and then [34:01] we'll see what we want to do okay that'll be another day [34:04] what else bob uh boy [34:09] this is driving me crazy anyway we're gonna be starting the leads here of next [34:13] week picking up the leaves the veterans [34:15] banners are gonna be taken down monday the 15th after veterans day [34:20] and all this stuff we just talked about with the light up night i'm done [34:25] okay go ahead greg you want to go next i don't have anything other than my [34:29] motions okay how about debbie um i can get my [34:35] i'll give my report during the meeting but i do have [34:38] about the security deposit i think we should look and if somebody's renting it [34:43] for three months maybe [34:47] we need to put something down but maybe not as high as what's there now like a [34:51] 200 deposit so say they sign a contract because they're gonna be signing the [34:56] contract we can have fifty dollars for the fob whatever the fob costs [35:01] but it has to in the contract it has to say [35:05] that you need to keep everything straight or you will not [35:10] be allowed to rent this place again because then you're not charging [35:14] somebody to clean it but if we at our discretion if somebody keeps [35:20] renting it and they're leaving a mess then i feel we should have the right to [35:25] ask for security [Music] [35:43] if you if they do that then you say for you to come back you got to put up a 250 [35:48] or 200 security deposit come back and and the money that you already left in a [35:52] mess has to be paid for to clean [35:56] and that'll maybe detail the term where they don't have to put up the money but [36:00] if they leave it a mess then they can't have it back till they put up security [36:03] deposit and pay for the cleaning how about that [36:07] that would work i think most people aren't going to destroy it because they [36:12] want to keep coming back and running it but i understand for the fog whatever [36:16] the fog costs us that's what we should charge them for because [36:20] you can lose the fob easily the fog's five bucks it's just [36:32] we just put in the contract if you screw up you're out we got a 50 security [36:36] deposit and we just run with it from there for [36:39] now i mean we're guys we're new to this you know what i'm saying um [36:42] i think we're gonna have to just um i i think it'll be a deterrent to say [36:46] it's 200 and then what do you do for three months [36:48] you have to give us another check three months you know i mean um [36:52] um well what do you think about doug what [36:54] do you think about if they rent it we don't make them put up security work but [36:57] they leave it a mess then we say for you to come back you're out of here for you [37:01] to come back now you have to put up a security [37:04] i'm i'm all for that sure okay good yeah that's all in the context you put that [37:09] all in the contract they read the contract if they don't understand the [37:12] contract then that's on them then we have the right [37:15] the right to kick them out well that's all i'm saying it needs to be put into [37:19] language i understand but but you can't be going with all these security [37:23] deposits because what about our youth group and say the scouts want to use it [37:27] are we going to charge the youth group to go in there now [37:30] let's talk about that one now so what bobby's asking is like that girl [37:36] that does the youth group rory she don't raise money to a point for nothing are [37:41] we charging her are we not charging her we want to know if that could be [37:44] forgiven or the scouts or hop are we allowed to do that too patty pick and [37:48] choose who we're not going to charge anything because they're um [37:51] non-profit guys the problem is the the reason you have [37:56] the security deposit is to protect the property [38:01] and you need to do that whether it's a non-profit or [38:05] or or someone you know an individual or a for-profit don't forget it's a [38:10] security deposit that you give back if it's right it's [38:15] that that's one issue but the other issue they're asking is can we for [38:19] someone like the scouts or the youth group charge them anything per hour [38:24] could we have a zero per hour per charge for them [38:28] you know some were charging 25 [38:32] you can do that it has to be in the policy but yeah you can do that [38:36] okay the youth group wants to use it once a month like for an hour [38:41] that's it on the first or second wednesday of the [38:45] month whenever the seniors meet and they have their meeting down at the borough [38:49] building downstairs they want to come down for the last hour and just play [38:53] some kickball or something that's all they want to do [38:57] all right that's different that's different than that's not like it's [39:00] every time i'm saying that's uh that's once a month yeah for an hour [39:06] i do think if they have a key fob to charge the security deposit but [39:12] they'd probably get keypad because we have the keypads for the ones [39:16] that aren't going to be there three four months you know [39:22] yeah i'm gonna kind of figure that out with bob who's gonna have a fob and who [39:26] will get a pin pad who will get the security pin pad code [39:31] if you're a long timer you're going to get a fob [39:35] um right and if just a one and done or you know something minimal then i'm [39:40] going to issue them the number and then when they're done i'm going to go and [39:43] take that number out okay [39:47] yeah guys i think you have to remember this is our first this is a first for [39:51] all of us and i think there's going to be hiccups along the way so whatever you [39:54] decide not like we can't change it in the future if something doesn't work out [39:57] the right way all the tests [40:00] yeah so it's no no reason to get a headache over it or anything it's going [40:04] to be a trial and error process until we get it right and we're used to [40:10] as far as the pricing goes i've never been to one of these i'm going by the [40:13] word that i was given from brian and what these prices are and if [40:19] if we need to change it we could change it yeah [40:22] next season you know you know they like it that much everyone that [40:27] i've shown it to loves it and they can't wait to get in right yeah but it [40:32] wouldn't hurt if you don't know the prices that melissa or someone don't [40:35] call somewhere just to know for the future so the price there was we knew [40:39] the prices there's some some places are 150 depends some pieces are 120. some [40:44] people it all depends on time prime time all that stuff we haven't been [40:48] separating that so um 75 was brought up just so we can get rolling on it you [40:52] know i mean with the id probably in the future what you know once we know that [40:57] building cost us if you know if we were able to put any money into a q8 kitty [41:01] which was the plan for some recreation stuff you know i mean um but if like we [41:05] come out of this year let's just say and [41:08] we're we're in the red because you know we're not charged enough then we just [41:12] have to charge some more yeah i mean right right okay that's good [41:16] all right what else anything else bob uh [41:20] i think that was it uh yeah so the so the youth group we're gonna [41:25] we're gonna go with them they they're they're good [41:28] for free go with that now yeah and what about the scouts if they [41:32] do come up with that you'll just have to let us know as they come up [41:36] you know yeah and like they have to pick they have to go [41:41] according to the schedule you know if the scouts meet on tuesday and someone's [41:45] got that that spot [41:47] then they can't they don't get it right they don't get it [41:50] yeah we're going to take them hurry happen rory happened to call me at a [41:54] good at a good time frame when when no one's booked so that's why we're going [41:58] to do it that way [42:04] every wednesday two hours every wednesday i i didn't like that you know [42:06] i mean once a month for an hour because there's a conflict i have no problem [42:10] with that yeah that's what she wants once a month [42:13] for one hour yeah i don't think that's a problem personally that's just me [42:18] keeping these kids off their street and then you know yes [42:23] it's a nice program too my daughter was in it for years [42:27] all right okay let's move on anything else bob [42:31] that's it for now marty where are we at next greg [42:35] no i'm good okay debbie we went with debbie anything [42:38] else deb nope let's go with brandon you good deb [42:44] yeah just i'll add my stuff [42:48] when i i'll read my report during the meeting [42:50] okay all right how about brandon i got a couple small things i just wanted to [42:54] bring up with the obviously fire department it's always fire department [42:57] with me um [42:59] melissa while i'm thinking of it one of the air cards we got i'm sorry to bring [43:02] us up now i just while i'm thinking about it uh isn't connected to the [43:05] internet so i'm gonna bring it up maybe we can try and figure it out together [43:09] and or if not we'll call who do we have verizon for those yes yeah [43:14] just bring it up because i'm going to need [43:17] that ime i number and then i'll call them and we'll work [43:22] through it okay yeah i i would have talked to you i just while i was [43:26] thinking of it i didn't want to forget because i forgot a week ago to [43:29] talk to you

those through that's my only thing for the rest of the year um if [44:23] you're already able to add and [44:27] two things on my tree lot i'd like to see council i don't know if anybody saw [44:31] the flyers going around we have a sponsor a tree for a needy family the [44:34] council purchase a tree for 75 dollars it's given to a needy family um i've hit [44:39] up all the local businesses they've pretty much been doing it if the unions [44:42] are okay with that i'm fine with it [44:47] and then the only other thing i want help on is see just this is off the wall [44:51] we normally rent a penske truck they give it to us for free to pick up our [44:55] christmas trees uh the day after thanksgiving um new management has gone [44:59] through penske and we don't have a truck to pick up the trees this year um i got [45:04] a line on one small box truck but i'm probably gonna need more than that is [45:07] there anybody have any ideas on where i could hit up to see if they donate a uh [45:12] uh let us use a truck for a day to pick up the stuff pick up the truck yeah [45:16] bobby does mark nemma's truck still runner know that i sold them or not [45:23] i know that touch too small what do you mean too small how big of a [45:27] truck you need brianna [45:31] bob did you see the truck we had last year that last year it was a it was a [45:34] big sized penske truck i don't know what's what exact 24 foot or something [45:38] like that i don't how far has it got to go you got to go [45:41] far [45:44] yeah i don't know exactly it's it's it's a [45:47] good good hour and a half two hours away i believe um [45:50] yeah i don't i don't know exactly where he picks him up at jimmy burkowski [45:53] usually goes and picks them up so what happened with the rental truck [45:58] they're just under new management now and with cove and everything i guess [46:01] they were hurting and they said they're not giving it on they're not letting [46:03] non-profits you know do it anymore um how much is the rent one off of them did [46:08] you get that price i did i did not i was just trying to do it for free before i [46:12] called for prices okay i mean i don't know anybody i just know nemeth and i [46:16] know that other guy in port view the one that [46:18] played with the body shop where body repair is over there has one but i don't [46:22] think you want it to go an hour and a half away yeah [46:25] you know if anybody had any thoughts for me that's all i'm going to continue to [46:28] work at it i can i can i can talk to timmy he does deliveries and all that [46:32] stuff with that van i might be able to get him to [46:36] i didn't know if that would make it that far bob oh he goes ohio and everything [46:40] on that does he i didn't know what he did i thought i was thinking too maybe [46:43] he'd help us maybe yeah maybe i could do that in our utv trailer you know or [46:48] something and work out that we could pay him for fuel and pay him something for [46:51] his time but just you know why don't you get a price of what one [46:55] cost to rent just so we know and then we'll see [46:58] bobby if he can talk to timmy's app hey greg greg do you know uh what's his name [47:03] over at the nelson's transmission yes i do i'll talk to him tomorrow and [47:07] see what he charges for a large truck he's not going to come to us he's not [47:12] going to give it to us for free i know that i'm saying for free but no i'll [47:15] talk to him tomorrow i was thinking that when right before you came in [47:19] um [47:23] he can get which is i believe [47:25] brandon it's a 24 footers the biggest ones they have and that's what you need [47:30] yeah all right thanks guys i appreciate the [47:32] help if things are alright with renting one then that'd be really cool too i [47:36] appreciate it i think the community really likes us doing the christmas [47:39] trees we get great um i like it's a big community thing that steve really takes [47:44] off and you know i think it's good for good [47:47] for the community would you keep doing that [47:50] it went fast [47:54] they went pretty fast last year a week and a half two weeks we were done [47:58] yeah maybe at the regular meeting brandon do [48:01] you have a date when you're going to start this so you can at least advertise [48:04] a little bit now black friday it's the day after thanksgiving okay [48:10] yep all right [48:13] okay who else did i miss anybody i know it's like quarter two and seven [48:18] dougie yeah sorry that's uh no big deal dude we we see that um [48:24] you see all over dogs reports and stuff like that dude we have a ton of your [48:27] properties that are um you know either getting torn down ready to get torn down [48:32] some are crossing over from this grant to that grant you know i'm like [48:36] my plan is guys is to get these as shovel ready as [48:39] possible this way in the future if we have say [48:42] minifield in the in town and we say hey while you're in here you know i mean you [48:46] know throw this one down you know i mean i want to be ready for it you know i [48:49] mean so that's kind of why you see this open mumbo jumbo right now but um we do [48:53] have a plan and melissa's doing a great job with that [48:56] getting us through that spot and now dawn and all that so um you'll see a lot [49:00] of tacoma properties on there too um and we'd all agree on that you know but [49:06] it seems like every time we try to do a couple of these um [49:09] we always run into some roadblock whether it's someone living in it or you [49:13] know i mean i don't know but um well we'll figure it out and i just [49:16] think that um i want to keep rolling this way so we are shovel ready as best [49:23] as test is done in the whole nine this way if we have an opportunity and we [49:27] have a few bucks we can say hey guys let's uh let's get a couple more of [49:30] these down um and um we are we are definitely making [49:34] some hay so i wanted to tell you that um if you guys are okay with that [49:39] um other than that what i'll read at the uh [49:42] at the general meeting there nothing nothing special [49:47] that's it alyssa do you have anything you want to tell us here [49:51] um no i don't i think everybody covered [49:54] everything that was in my report hey mark one thing i forgot to mention [50:00] okay the gas tanks are out yeah yeah i saw that [50:04] we talked about yeah so the guy came in and did [50:08] everything and put it back to stone and then he said probably be best to let it [50:13] go through the winter maybe bobby will put some cold patch in now maybe not and [50:16] then we'll try to get it paved in the spring in case it settles a little bit [50:21] all right but he did everything in one day he said maybe one to two days i [50:24] thought he was crazy when he said two days i never thought he'd do it all in [50:26] one day they stayed until it was finished i know [50:30] and that dvp inspector was here all day watching everything too [50:34] but it's all good he was he was decent to us he was nice they sucked everything [50:38] out right bobby and took it yep there's just that one barrel they [50:42] said they'll come pick up and the other diesel tanks and any problem with the [50:46] gas cards anybody hearing bob [50:49] no not that i know okay i don't know i guess the police are [50:52] okay chris [50:55] police the gas guard's okay yeah yeah police are okay [51:01] okay [51:05] how are these [51:15] [Music] it's like 99 of the gas stations it's [51:19] called wex wx exactly that's what i have for my limos and they work fine i've [51:25] never had a problem they send you a monthly statement you know what person [51:28] got it which vehicle it's in and how much they put in so if anybody tries to [51:32] you know take a vehicle and fill it up and fill another one up you know it'll [51:36] show the gallons and show everything when they were there in time and [51:40] everything so pretty good cool [51:44] all right anybody got anything else um [51:48] melissa you're going to send an invite then to all the people that's on the the [51:53] list for helping out [51:56] yes [51:58] uh we got for the grant [52:01] how about we have do we have shane do we have shane on it [52:06] uh no [52:08] [Laughter] should we have him on it everybody make [52:13] a decision yes yes yes [52:18] melissa maybe he should get one a little eight and a half by elevens even though [52:21] it took long that you know save for for his effort or whatever that you know [52:27] whatever we're gonna say guys what they thought is if you look at the plaque you [52:31] know you have brewster you have i don't know court you have the new guy you have [52:34] doyle you have u.s steel and then you have these different agencies in the [52:38] state that provided the money and funding [52:41] my thought was that this lady that's making the big signs could make just a [52:46] eight and a half by eleven nice piece of paper that will get frames [52:50] and maybe you can hand you know they could be handed or if they don't come it [52:53] could be mailed to them just saying thank you for all your effort even if [52:56] it's one of them state agencies that you know went through the funding in the the [53:00] agency that's listed on the plaque and then that way if they see a little [53:04] piece of paper with their name and thank you maybe they'll hang in their office [53:08] or whatever but maybe they'll remember poor view down the road next time we [53:10] apply for money what do you think about that anybody have a problem with that [53:15] sounds like a good idea to me okay and we'll get one for shane too [53:19] melissa then okay we'll do [53:22] all right it looks like i have somebody standing [53:25] by to come into the meeting okay well it's 6 49 so i don't know sevens when [53:31] they're doing the demos it's probably somebody for the demos [53:34] oh this might be mark lezero well you better let him in [53:39] maybe he wants to tell us [53:52] wait a minute [53:57] wait one second all right more let me say start

on the uh possible condemnation list [1:03:28] hearing notices were mailed to all owners on october 6 2021 by both regular [1:03:34] and certified mail the taxing bodies including allegheny [1:03:39] county and south allegheny were also notified as well as any judgment holders [1:03:45] the public hearings were advertised in the mon valley independent on october 9 [1:03:49] 2021 and all the properties were posted with notice of the zoom meeting [1:03:55] our mailing addresses were obtained from the allegheny county assessment [1:04:00] website um i wanted everybody to be aware [1:04:04] because this meeting is a zoom meeting um any interested parties are not able [1:04:09] to participate live um i know a number of them are [1:04:14] uh are watching the public hearing or at least they indicated to me that they [1:04:19] would be but anyone who has an issue [1:04:22] has uh submitted a letter or comments to me and i will be entering those in the [1:04:27] record so we'll start with the first property [1:04:31] 1425 washington boulevard this is lawton block 383n007 [1:04:38] uh the record title owner is the estate of glenn broman and the [1:04:44] estate of eleanor broman um i did receive a call [1:04:49] um from an heir uh to the current donors both are deceased [1:04:54] um and there was no objection to the demolition [1:04:58] but it did wanted to um do what they could [1:05:02] to get uh you know some personal property out of the house [1:05:06] i did um recommend that they do that sooner [1:05:10] rather than later i indicated that we would not be able to provide access [1:05:14] but that um but that they would have to reach out to [1:05:18] a homeowner one of the homeowners to obtain access [1:05:22] um it's my understanding that mark lazzaro is at the hearing this evening [1:05:28] is that correct yes okay okay mark and can you please [1:05:33] state your full name and identify your job for the borough [1:05:37] mark a lazaro senior and i am a third-party [1:05:42] building inspection company abc allegheny building consultants [1:05:46] and i do the [1:05:49] property maintenance inspections for demolition on the housing project [1:05:53] are you familiar with the property located excuse me at 1425 washington [1:05:58] boulevard yes i am can you describe the condition of the [1:06:02] property uh on the exterior appears to be completely run down and not [1:06:07] maintained other than somebody i don't know who's [1:06:10] been cutting the grass but they haven't really taken care of the weeds or the [1:06:14] brush overgrowth it has a deck on the rear of the [1:06:18] property that's uh kind of dilapidated and falling down [1:06:22] um i was able to get some pictures at the [1:06:26] windows that you could see the interior of the house [1:06:29] and it just looks pretty cluttered up i don't know if kids have been in there or [1:06:32] not uh some of the siding is falling off of [1:06:36] the house off of the dormer it's [1:06:39] just all in all it's pretty well run down and not taken care of [1:06:43] mr lucero is the property vacant it appears to be [1:06:48] uh there is no electric meter in which means there's no electrical power there [1:06:53] there's no gas meter on the property so again there's no gas service for heat [1:06:59] yeah the water [1:07:02] uh based on the fact that there appear to be no utilities [1:07:06] um is that property inhabitable that's correct [1:07:10] so it is uninhabitable correct [1:07:16] does this property create a safety and health hazard to the community [1:07:21] it does because of being open able to get in the property [1:07:26] it seems like the back door is kind of like loose in a jar that kids can go in [1:07:30] there and it's the safety hazard the fire has [1:07:35] okay thank you mr lazaro um for purposes of [1:07:39] the record i i do want to indicate again that uh mr craig broman did contact my [1:07:45] office to let me know that there was no objection to the demolition of this [1:07:49] structure in your professional opinion um [1:07:53] mr lazaro uh do you believe that this property should be condemned and [1:07:57] demolished i do [1:08:00] does council have any questions uh with regard to 1425 washington boulevard [1:08:10] okay uh hearing none uh we'll move on to [1:08:15] uh i'm sorry 1801 new york avenue this property is um currently owned by the [1:08:23] anna m chantos irrevocable trust [1:08:27] uh gerald chantos trustee um mr chantos did sign [1:08:33] uh for the letter that was sent out he had previously indicated that he was not [1:08:39] going to take any action with regard to the property [1:08:42] um i will i have received a communication [1:08:46] on this property but i'm going to have mr uh lozaro testify as to the [1:08:51] current condition so i'll ask you again mr laurel um mr [1:08:56] lazaro um and just to confirm uh you are mark lazzaro and you are the property [1:09:01] maintenance inspector for the borough port of view correct [1:09:04] that's correct and are you familiar with the property [1:09:07] at 1801 new york avenue yes i am can you describe the condition of the [1:09:12] property it's in pretty poor rundown condition [1:09:16] and if i recall correctly i believe it was two to three years ago i met with mr [1:09:21] chantos because [1:09:23] there was question about demolishing this year ago [1:09:26] and he taken me through the house and i walked [1:09:29] through the inside of the house and it was pretty much full of garbage [1:09:33] and he had a plan that he was going to rehabilitate he was going to put it back [1:09:38] together and apparently he didn't follow through with any of it [1:09:42] because today it's just about the same condition as it was three years ago [1:09:46] whenever i took photographs of it [1:09:50] and um mr lazaro did you issue an inspection report with regard to this [1:09:55] property [1:09:59] to the burden yes i did okay and and how did you rate this property in terms of [1:10:04] priority i put it as a high priority [1:10:07] okay and and does the condition of the property impact homes in the [1:10:11] neighborhood yes [1:10:15] and does the property create growth on the property [1:10:20] which is actually kind of consuming the building at this point [1:10:24] okay does this property create a safety and health hazard to the borough port [1:10:29] view yes it does okay [1:10:32] um i i do want to enter into the record uh copies of mr lazzaro's uh inspection [1:10:39] report on this property and for all of the properties i don't think i asked [1:10:43] about the report on 1425 washington boulevard but we'll be um adding all of [1:10:48] those reports to the record um also entered into the record at this [1:10:53] time is a a letter that i received from a gentleman trevor osgood and i'm going [1:10:58] to read it into the record and a physical copy of it will be included [1:11:03] uh mr oscar writes hello and good evening i had hoped to [1:11:07] make an in-person appearance or one via zoom but i'm told by the solicitor i [1:11:12] could only do this in writing so hope this may suffice [1:11:15] please do not hesitate to contact me at any time he left his [1:11:19] number and his email as i make myself highly [1:11:22] available toward issues such as this one including but not limited to this [1:11:26] hearing i have recently purchased the property [1:11:29] from gerald chantos the property in question is 1801 new york avenue [1:11:34] in my written testimony i will include a personal letter from mr chantos that [1:11:37] might change some light on his personal circumstances [1:11:40] surrounding the condition of the property [1:11:43] bro understands his outline in the inspection report provided by mr lazaro [1:11:47] from allegheny building consultants who i would like to add that i have also [1:11:51] made contact with and indicated he is supportive of rehabilitation of the [1:11:55] property under my plan i would know mr chantos no longer is [1:11:59] involved in any construction planning and is no longer the title owner again i [1:12:03] am the new title owner of 1801 new york avenue and port view [1:12:09] i will say that when we did our title search [1:12:12] uh if mr chantos was still the owner i met the borough manager melissa mcglory [1:12:16] that indicated that burroughs eagerness to find a swift resolution to the [1:12:20] property because of the blight and the time frame of two months would be [1:12:25] wanted slash expected under my plan concerning the most pressing repairs the [1:12:29] borough once fixed namely stages one two and three in my general contractor's [1:12:34] enclosed plan i'm emphasizing the main concerns which [1:12:37] i've observed to be the front porch and first story roof [1:12:40] permits will be obtained and work performed through [1:12:43] that of my general contractor mitchell spark through his company new spin [1:12:48] design builders that is highly capable of general construction [1:12:52] and the preservation of historic properties [1:12:54] mitchell sparks general contractor licenses and he gives us the license [1:12:58] number the entire renovation we plan to complete within eight months while [1:13:02] prioritizing the non-compliant issues most urgently according to the borough's [1:13:07] deadlines my intentions for this property are [1:13:10] quite sincere and i am highly motivated to comply with the borough [1:13:14] and make further renovations to pass an occupancy [1:13:17] inspection is i intend to make this property my [1:13:20] personal residence and have titled the company in my personal name instead of [1:13:24] my company name to demonstrate this for this end i've already made a good [1:13:29] faith advanced payment of seven thousand nine hundred fifty dollars to my general [1:13:34] contractor mitchell sparks whose services are now retained [1:13:37] right now we are in the process of winterizing the property and emphasizing [1:13:41] any immediate repairs to comply with the borough i am local and live in glassport [1:13:46] and my general contractor lives in west mifflin so we will be actively on scene [1:13:50] at the property making the necessary improvements and maintenance [1:13:54] again please don't hesitate to contact me during or after this hearing for [1:13:57] clarity on anything this plan is malleable should the [1:14:00] borough have any other timeline expectations and my general contractor [1:14:05] has expressed to me that he will work with the borough's deadlines you have [1:14:08] our full cooperation on this matter give us any deadline milestone in this [1:14:12] project and i promise we shall meet it to conclude i therefore strongly [1:14:17] remember recommend the council to not condemn and demolish my house i fully [1:14:21] understand and respect the position of the borough council has been awaiting [1:14:25] action on this property from the prior owner [1:14:27] considerably longer than i've owned it and i [1:14:32] seek to rectify this i'll add that the taxes are current and will remain [1:14:36] current under my ownership thank you for attention to this matter and i look [1:14:40] forward to working with you sincerely trevor osgood [1:14:44] i'm i'm not going to uh read through um [1:14:48] mr chantos's letter but there is a letter from mr chantos [1:14:53] uh attached [1:14:56] um and i would but i will read you the conclusion he says in conclusion this [1:15:00] home is a piece of poor view history a historian from [1:15:03] elizabeth township historical society had done research on the historical [1:15:08] importance of the property to this and should be saved [1:15:12] um i think mr chantos's wife had severe medical issues and he at this point is [1:15:18] unable to do it also attached is um a proposal from the contractor which [1:15:25] itemizes the work that is to be done just to summarize the front porch repair [1:15:31] uh 3 600 general roof 16 000 [1:15:37] um grounds clean up weed control and clean up twelve hundred [1:15:41] dollars interior removal furnishings debris trash ninety five hundred [1:15:49] um and he'll be responsible for the [1:15:52] dumpster so i i will say that mr osgood has put [1:15:56] together a a lot of information on this um [1:16:00] mark lazzaro apparently has also had a conversation with him mark can you [1:16:04] provide any confirmation on that i have not had a conversation oh you [1:16:09] have not no and i we have not to date received [1:16:13] any um application for any building permit to [1:16:16] do any of the repairs no and and he you know uh frankly i [1:16:20] advised him not to move forward with the building permit [1:16:25] until council made a decision okay [1:16:28] okay yeah he has not reached out to me in the [1:16:31] form of a phone call anything like that i have no documentation of [1:16:35] anything going on with this property for several years [1:16:43] and what about excuse me one second um what about trevor osgood has he reached [1:16:48] out to you no [1:16:51] i'm saying his letter that he did i don't have any voicemails from him or [1:16:57] anything no no documentation saying i've spoken [1:17:00] about [1:17:05] okay [1:17:12] okay all right are there any questions or [1:17:15] comments with regard to 1801 new york avenue [1:17:24] okay if not we'll move on to 1106 monroe avenue [1:17:34] so what's our outcome for this patty sorry [1:17:37] well um you know that it is up to council [1:17:42] as i indicated previously you know this is someone who has just [1:17:47] recently acquired the property because i did my title search at the end of [1:17:50] september beginning of october um and it was still the uh mr chantos [1:17:56] who owned it um he's apparently you know gotten someone [1:18:01] lined up you know there are a couple of different options one option [1:18:05] is to postpone taking action on the condemnation [1:18:09] and um requiring mr osgood to meet with [1:18:14] mr lazaro in the next i would say 10 days [1:18:18] and um and and give him a period of time to [1:18:24] complete uh correction of the building code [1:18:27] violations and [1:18:30] so when do we do this when do we give him permission or what do we do do we [1:18:34] make a motion um yeah i mean what we could do [1:18:38] and we would do it at the public part of the meeting [1:18:41] properties that you want to move forward with the condemnation of are part of one [1:18:45] motion okay and in the event that you uh what i [1:18:49] would just simply do is make a motion to postpone [1:18:53] action on the condemnation of any property that you want to put a hold on [1:18:58] okay okay i don't know if we're gonna do it [1:19:00] tonight during this hearing not during the public hearing [1:19:05] thank you um we're going to move on to 1106 monroe [1:19:12] um the record title owner of this property [1:19:16] is terrence o'coulter and tracy coulter um [1:19:23] the service was made of our our correspondence in this regard [1:19:28] um i did receive a a phone call [1:19:32] from uh one of the record title owners who indicated that a company three [1:19:38] rivers holding company has this process i'm sorry has this [1:19:42] property under agreement um [1:19:45] and i did forward a copy of mr lazaro's report to this property [1:19:52] owner i don't think um i did receive a a message [1:19:57] i'm going out of order on this but my one of the messages is on my phone and [1:20:02] i'd rather read it into the record before i lose it [1:20:06] um to whom it may concern i troy banks the manager of canary lion llc [1:20:12] will be purchasing the house located at 1106 monroe avenue in fort view [1:20:17] i am aware of the repairs required by the city to bring it up to code [1:20:22] and i intend to purchase and correct all the problems with due diligence in a [1:20:26] timely manner any questions or concerns i can be [1:20:30] contacted and he gave me his number thank you [1:20:34] um so you have a similar situation i don't have as complete a letter as i did [1:20:39] on um [1:20:41] 1801 new york avenue but this person has indicated that um that they are aware of [1:20:47] the issues that mark has raised and is willing to move forward and make the [1:20:52] corrections so mark i'm going to go back to you now [1:20:55] um mark you are the property maintenance [1:20:58] inspector for the borough court view correct [1:21:01] that is correct and are you familiar with the property [1:21:04] located at 1106 monroe avenue yes i am [1:21:08] can you describe the condition of the property [1:21:12] uh partially collapsing in a few areas like back porch roof [1:21:16] uh front steps couldn't even walk up the front steps [1:21:20] coming in had to go up through the yard because [1:21:22] they have like wooden steps that they built the front yard and they're falling [1:21:26] through there's a lot of junk in the backyard [1:21:31] building materials junk on the back porch washers dryers [1:21:36] you know appliances building materials [1:21:39] and of course the porch roof is collapsing [1:21:42] on the back of the property is this property vacant [1:21:46] it appears to be with no way to get into the property i [1:21:50] would have to assume that it's taken are there utilities to this property the [1:21:56] electric was not hooked up i mean there is power to the meter [1:22:00] um that i saw there like there is an electric meter in there but [1:22:05] the power i don't believe is turned on because it [1:22:09] shows a bunch of lines on the meter which usually means that it's [1:22:13] disconnected is the property presently inhabitable [1:22:18] correct it it is not inhabitable [1:22:22] it's not habitable at all okay um [1:22:26] does this property create a safety and health hazard to the community [1:22:30] yes it does uh mark is this a property that can be [1:22:34] rehabilitated since this individual has indicated that he intends that that [1:22:39] three rivers holdings wants to buy it and rehabilitate it [1:22:43] yes just like the last property i believe there they can be rehabilitated [1:22:48] if you get a genuine contractor that wants to do the work and [1:22:53] you know commits to doing it and [1:22:57] all in all it would be better off to leave the properties intact you know for [1:23:02] the tax base rather than tearing them down but if [1:23:07] don't have a comprehensive plan to actually get these [1:23:10] rehabilitated then they're better off being torn down [1:23:16] okay does council have any questions on this property [1:23:20] yes buddy why did you receive the letter from uh [1:23:23] llc the [1:23:25] the person do you remember or the text or whatever [1:23:29] i [1:23:34] see you

received a call from [1:24:14] kurt lance no oh okay um [1:24:19] because he called me several times to make sure that i was aware of their [1:24:25] intention um [1:24:27] you know this is this is a situation where [1:24:30] they they have expended time and effort in making sure that i was aware that [1:24:36] they are interested in fixing the property up [1:24:40] so it's very it is very similar to the last property [1:24:44] okay if there's no other questions um i'm going to move on to 1822 trimble [1:24:51] you'll be glad to know this is a property that i've received no [1:24:53] communication on um [1:24:58] so mark i'm going to ask you to um [1:25:02] to provide testimony on this i will tell you that our certified letters were [1:25:07] received um [1:25:11] by [1:25:16] the record title owners um but no one reached out to me on this [1:25:21] um [1:25:25] this property is located at 1822 trimble avenue [1:25:29] um mark as as the property inspector for the borough port view are you familiar [1:25:34] with the property at 1822 trimble [1:25:40] i have a different address on i have 1823 [1:25:45] trimble [1:25:48] i don't know if that's correct or not [1:25:52] i'm trying to find the report on it we have another one [1:25:56] 1823 also has issues but the one i cleared was 1822. [1:26:02] melissa can you confirm [1:26:08] 1823 is the one that we tore down 1822 is across the street right right [1:26:16] and i can't find a report for that at all did i do one for that [1:26:22] you know what i'm hold on one second i'm looking at the pictures but [1:26:31] hold on that's when you can't even see the house [1:26:35] you can't even see the house because of the trees [1:26:38] oh okay now i recall yes [Laughter] [1:26:44] got up here and there was no way to even get up in the yard [1:26:50] it was almost as bad as the one down on glen avenue where you had to cross the [1:26:53] creek and climb through [1:26:55] now so mark now that you've refreshed your [1:26:59] recollection are you familiar with this property [1:27:02] yes yes okay [1:27:04] and can you just obviously the property's overgrown um can you give us [1:27:09] any for additional information with regard to the condition [1:27:13] um being that [1:27:15] the amount of overgrowth that's on it it's gonna you know increase the [1:27:19] deterioration you know on a wood-sided building like that [1:27:23] um the only part that's halfway cleaned up is the [1:27:26] side that faces the neighbors which i'm sure they're taking care of so [1:27:30] they don't have to like look at the overgrowth [1:27:34] and the weeds you know growing into their yard [1:27:37] so you're you're thinking [1:27:41] from favor okay [1:27:44] so it's the neighbors taking care of it yes [1:27:47] okay um are you able to see the condition of [1:27:52] the property um not close up [1:27:56] okay but based on the um vegetation and overgrowth [1:28:00] uh you believe the property is uninhabitable [1:28:03] yes with no way to get up to the front porch [1:28:07] or even through the backyard the only thing you can access is to see [1:28:12] the side of the house from the neighbor's property [1:28:16] so you you understand this property is vacant [1:28:18] yeah [1:28:22] based on your testimony you you also understand and believe that the property [1:28:26] impacts the neighbors property yes [1:28:31] they're to create a safety and health hazard [1:28:33] to the community okay [1:28:38] i i have not received any communication or any indication that anyone objects to [1:28:43] the demolition of this particular property does council have [1:28:46] any questions [1:28:52] i just have a comment that um yeah this owner i think lives out of [1:28:57] state and we tried to we cited him for the vegetation growth and we never got [1:29:03] any response from him then either so uh yeah [1:29:07] they just must not care i don't know you know what ken actually i i was able to [1:29:12] get a florida address for them yeah but even [1:29:17] even those letters were returned um unable to forward i but letters were [1:29:23] received at an address in belle vernon [1:29:28] and and another address in ford view gary crouch at 1591 romine avenue [1:29:35] okay i had a number of addresses here all right okay [1:29:40] yep thank you [1:29:43] if there are no other questions we'll close the public hearing on 1822 trimble [1:29:50] uh last but not least 1027 lyell avenue uh mark are you familiar with the [1:29:55] condition of the property at 1027 lyell avenue [1:30:00] yes can you describe the condition [1:30:03] for council [1:30:07] right now um [1:30:09] this house has a again an overgrowth situation on it and [1:30:15] it appears that there's a detached garage behind it [1:30:19] that faces lyle alley [1:30:22] and the garage has collapsed off of its foundation [1:30:26] so the upper half of his wood frame plus the [1:30:30] roof is all leaning over [1:30:33] the backyard is full of debris construction debris pallets block [1:30:38] empty barrels [1:30:43] tarps and it appears that nobody is living in [1:30:47] this property either because again access to the front door [1:30:51] front porch the back porch were completely overgrown [1:30:57] okay is the property vacant to the best of your knowledge [1:31:01] from what i can tell yes and and do you believe it to be [1:31:05] uninhabitable correct [1:31:09] does it create a safety and health hazard to the community [1:31:13] yes especially the [1:31:15] partially collapsed garage in the backyard [1:31:19] okay um to that point i i um [1:31:23] did receive a communication from an attorney um [1:31:29] out of i believe philadelphia uh this property is uh scheduled for [1:31:35] share of sale a mortgage foreclosure share of sale the first monday in [1:31:39] december uh her name is caitlin donnelly and i [1:31:43] did speak with her let me read into the record her communication [1:31:48] ms mcgrail thanks again for taking my call earlier as i stated i looked at a [1:31:53] property inspection from october and it looks like there was a tree that fell on [1:31:56] a garage my client removed the tree but was advised by hud that it could not [1:32:01] remove the collapsed garage and to file an insurance claim on it so this was a [1:32:06] property with a hud mortgage i have not heard back from them on a [1:32:10] response from the insurance company i did misspeak earlier because i saw [1:32:14] that hud had approved the removal of the debris but it has not been done yet only [1:32:19] the tree removal we are recommending our client go out and remove the exterior [1:32:23] debris immediately i am requesting that this hearing be [1:32:26] adjourned if possible we only just received notice of the hearing yesterday [1:32:31] because it got to the owner and then got to them late [1:32:34] and do not have an attorney available to cover we're attempting to line up local [1:32:38] coverage but are not sure if he'll be able to assist on such short notice [1:32:43] we do have a share of sales schedule for this property in december i am hopeful [1:32:47] that this may proceed to sheriff's cell and we can either address the rest of [1:32:50] the issues with the property once my client is in legal possession of the [1:32:54] property or a third party will purchase and work more closely with the community [1:32:58] to rehabilitate please let me know if this is something [1:33:02] that can be agreed to um so it just so you understand kml law [1:33:08] group the law firm that she is with [1:33:12] has taken this to foreclosure um [1:33:15] for for the lender and so they're hoping of course that a [1:33:20] third party comes in and bids on it at the sheriff's sale [1:33:25] if that if that doesn't happen one of two things [1:33:28] happens the bank will bid in [1:33:32] and they'll take the property in their name [1:33:35] but there is absolutely no guarantee of that [1:33:38] if the bank would do that they would owe the taxes and they would [1:33:43] be responsible for code enforcement issues [1:33:46] but they don't have to bid in on it and my concern is that they would not bid in [1:33:51] and this property is going to continue to be blighted [1:33:55] um so uh [1:33:59] on this one given the testimony that mr lazaro has provided i would recommend [1:34:04] that this one stay on the um list [1:34:08] once we notify uh the law firm that we would be [1:34:13] condemning this property um they would still have the ability to [1:34:17] reach out or to file an appeal um i'm just concerned with this one that [1:34:22] um that it won't be sold at sheriff's sale [1:34:25] because of its condition and the bank won't take title [1:34:30] okay i agree [1:34:35] in the history that i've had with uh thanksgiving foreclosures on property [1:34:39] they have never taken these [1:34:43] and they would give it a former owner's name until somebody actually purchased [1:34:46] it that's right and so i i [1:34:50] that this one i recommend stay on the list [1:34:55] go ahead yeah patty i [1:34:57] checked on that house today the tree that was in question that fell on the [1:35:01] garage was in the front of the house and that was removed from the front of [1:35:06] the house nothing is removed from the back of the house the garage all the [1:35:10] garbage is still there the tree that fell was in front of the house blocking [1:35:14] the front you can see the front now because they took that section of tree [1:35:18] on but that's all that was done to it okay [1:35:23] okay now according to the lawyer representing the lender [1:35:28] um for whatever reason hud won't approve [1:35:32] the removal of the collapse garage i think what's more likely is they never [1:35:36] heard back from hud because hud's got a million properties [1:35:39] on their list [1:35:42] with this before i i don't have any evidence of any tree [1:35:47] that fell down in the backyard either because when i took the photographs [1:35:50] there was a tree laying in the freckle but not in the back [1:35:55] that's the one they removed mark the one from the front because i had pictures of [1:35:59] that too the garage fell from the wind we had a [1:36:03] storm earlier in the summer and the wind blew that garage over [1:36:07] okay [1:36:12] does anybody have any other questions on any of the properties [1:36:18] okay then that will close the public hearings on these properties and you'll [1:36:21] have an opportunity to make a decision as to how you want to [1:36:25] deal with them in the regularly thanks [1:36:32] [Applause] okay
