[3:49] oh yeah both places yeah yeah you want to leave it 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

[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

[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

[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

[47:25] brandon it's a 24 footers the biggest ones they have and that's what you need

[47:44] off and you know i think it's good for good

[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

[1:03:12] okay everyone this is the date and time set for public hearing

[1:03:18] on five properties that have been added been identified as blighted

[1:03:22] and have been placed 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 responded patty on any on 10 22 10

[1:23:40] 21 actually uh the in that the note that i

[1:23:43] read into the record i received 10 25. 25 okay

[1:23:49] last week yes

[1:23:52] okay

[1:23:55] that's all i had this is

[1:23:59] you know i i will tell you that i've had several calls

[1:24:03] on this um from the canary lion llc

[1:24:09] uh melissa i think melissa had already melissa had 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

[1:44:46] reserve account to cover the expenses overall the budget has decreased from

[1:44:52] last year by one hundred and twelve thousand dollars

[1:44:57] this is due to good financial management and the grants brought in throughout the

[1:52:02] parties here to rehabilitate these properties you know

[1:52:06] i don't have a personal problem with postponing those i wouldn't do that but

[1:52:10] you know we would have to have some strict guidelines in my opinion you know

[1:52:13] i mean like maybe they need to get a hold of mr lazaro within 10 days

[1:52:17] um strict time frame for any um

[1:52:22] renovations like that he would deem immediate

[1:52:25] and then also a comprehensive plan as to how they're going to move forward and

[1:52:29] again i'm just one one guy i you know obviously i would need conscious input

[1:52:33] on that but uh those two i wouldn't have a problem postponing those under those

[1:52:37] conditions personally the other three which i will read um

[1:52:41] shortly um i i would suggest we proceed with condemnation

[1:52:53] the time frame too besides mark and whatever they're gonna do that he keeps

[1:52:56] them to a strict time frame yeah i wanted to be strict though please

[1:53:04] with this one and um you know i i'm

[1:53:08] i'm excited to hear someone's interested in flipping it making it nice you know

[1:53:11] for themselves to live there you know but um they got a lot of work to do and

[1:53:14] i like to see progress personally you know i mean that's where i'm at
