[00:00:08]
NO, I'M TRYING TO GET IN FOR TWO, THREE WEEKS IN AHEAD MINUTES.
[CALL TO ORDER]

FIRST ITEM ON THE AGENDA IS THE APPROVAL OF MINUTES, UH, FROM NOVEMBER 4TH, 2024.SO WE'LL LET THE, UH, BOARD LOOK AT THE MINUTES, UH, AND I'LL, UH, ENTERTAIN A MOTION.
MR. DAVIDSON, YOU ENTERTAIN A MOTION? YES, SIR.
I HAVE A MOTION BY MS, UH, MR. UH, KING TO APPROVE.
I HAVE A MOTION BY MR. KING, A SECOND BY MS. OLIVER TO APPROVE THE MINUTES.
ALL OPPOSED, THAT MOTION'S CARRIED BY VOTE OF 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 8 TO ZERO.
[2. Hearing concerning Dangerous Structure located at 1215 E. Main St., Grand Prairie, Texas]
NEXT ITEM ON THE AGENDA IS A HEARING CONCERNING DANGEROUS STRUCTURE LOCATED AT 1215 EAST MAIN STREET HERE IN GRAND PRAIRIE.WE'LL LET STAFF MAKE THEIR PRESENTATION FIRST.
YES, WE ARE CLOSE TO YOUR BIRTHDAY, I THOUGHT.
NO, THAT WAS THE NOVEMBER MEETING.
I REMEMBER SOMETHING ABOUT THAT.
THIS, WE'RE STILL BACK WITH, UH, 15 EAST MAIN.
PUT A KNIFE TO REVIEW OF WHAT WE'VE DONE SO FAR, WHICH, UH, THERE'S PICTURES TO, TO SHOW YOU, TO REMIND YOU.
THAT'S THE OLD RESTAURANT ON 1215 EAST MAIN.
THAT'S BEEN EMPTY FOR QUITE SOME TIME SINCE 12 20 13.
THE ORIGINAL PICTURES WERE, IT WASN'T SECURED THEN.
IN FACT, YOU SEE ALL THOSE, A PLYWOOD, UH, WALLS THERE.
A LOT OF THEM HAD BEEN TORN DOWN OVER THE YEARS AND PUT BACK UP BY OUR CONTRACTORS.
I THINK I'VE JUMPED TO THE CLEANUP NOW.
THE BATHROOMS WERE IN BAD SHAPE.
THE ROOF HAD A HOLE IN IT, MOLD, LIKE ON THE WALLS.
THE PEOPLE HAD BEEN BREAKING INTO THIS AND CAMPING OUT IN IT.
AND IT WAS JUST AN ATTRACTIVE NUISANCE FOR HOMELESS FOLKS.
COULDN'T, WE HAD TO RESECURE IT MULTIPLE TIMES.
UH, AND SO THAT'S WHY WE BROUGHT IT TO THIS BOARD.
AND SINCE BRINGING IT TO THE BOARD, THIS BOARD, THE OWNERS HAVE STEPPED UP AND HAVE KEPT IT SECURE, CLEANED IT OUT, UH, WITH, OR THE ORIGINAL THOUGHT WAS TO TRY TO SELL IT TO AND HAD A BUYER.
AND AS THEY HAD THIS CLEANED UP AND I THINK THE LAST MEETING WE WERE HERE AND THEY WERE GOING TO FIX IT UP, THE SALE HAD FALLEN THROUGH AND THEY HAD A PLAN TO, TO TRY TO GET IT FIXED AND OPEN IT.
THIS IS THE ONE THAT'S DIVIDED.
THEY WANTED TO DIVIDE 'CAUSE THEY HAVE A CELL TOWER IN THE BACK, SO THEY STILL WANT THEIR INCOME OFF THAT CELL TOWER IF IN BEFORE THEY SELL IT TO, TO MAKE SURE THAT THEY CAN ASSURE THAT THAT'LL KEEP ON HAPPENING.
AND I, THERE WAS A QUESTION THEN AND ABOUT HOW LONG IT TAKES TO APPLY FOR A TO THE REPL.
AND IT'S NOT AS EASY AS IT JUST SOUNDS TO GO DOWN AND FILL OUT AN APPLICATION.
THE FRONT PORCH IS CLEAN, THE BACK IS SECURED, THE DUMPSTERS ARE GONE.
SO ANYWAY, UH, TURNS OUT THEY'VE RENEGOTIATED WITH THIS POTENTIAL BUYER, UH, TO, UH, TO SELL IT.
AND THEY ACTUALLY HAVE, AND I'VE GOT IT HERE, A CONTRACT THAT WAS SIGNED ON FRIDAY.
UH, I THINK THEY HAVE A CLOSING DATE SET FOR HOPEFULLY FEBRUARY 15TH.
IT WAS THAT ORIGINAL, UH, PERSON THAT WAS INTERESTED IN IT.
I TALKED TO THE PLATING CONSULTING FIRM AND, UH, WE
[00:05:01]
THOUGHT MAYBE THEY WERE LAX IN GETTING THEM EVERYTHING THEY NEEDED TO GET THE REPLANTING PROCESS DONE.BUT THE FIRM, THE CONSULTING FIRM SAYS, NO, THEY'VE GOT EVERYTHING TO US.
WE, WE'VE BEEN RUNNING BEHIND.
AND THEY ASSURED ME THAT THEY'RE WORKING DILIGENTLY TO TRY TO COORDINATE WITH OUR CALENDAR.
'CAUSE THEY HAVE TO SCHEDULE IT IN THE RIGHT TIMEFRAME TO GET IT SET FOR A HEARING.
BUT THEY'VE GOT EVERYTHING THEY NEEDED NEED AND THEY DON'T SEE A PROBLEM DOING IT, JUST HAVE TO HAVE THE HEARING.
SO THAT'S WHERE WE STAND RIGHT NOW, IS THAT THEY HAVEN'T, I DON'T, THEY HAVEN'T DONE A LOT MORE REPAIR THAN WHAT WE HAD TALKED ABOUT BEFORE JANUARY 6TH.
BUT IT'S CLEAN, IT'S STATE SECURE.
MS. SANCHEZ IS VERY RESPONSIVE.
UH, ANYTIME THERE'S ANY KIND OF A COUCH OR ANYTHING DUMPED BACK THERE, I I, I CHECK IT EVERY WEEK AND I CALL HER AND IT'S GONE THE NEXT DAY.
SO THEY'VE BEEN KEEPING TRACK OF IT.
THEY'VE BEEN KEEPING ME UP TO DATE.
SHE, UH, STRUGGLES TO, TO SCAN AND, AND FAX ME
AND, UH, UH, SO ANYWAY, I'VE BEEN REALLY, REALLY APPRECIATIVE AND AND IMPRESSED WITH THE RESPONSIVENESS THEY'VE HAD WITH US.
UH, SO I DON'T KNOW IF YOU WANNA BE REMINDED OF WHAT WE, Y'ALL DID IN NOVEMBER.
ADDITIONAL FINDINGS HERE WAS THEY PROVIDED A DETAILED PLAN AND TIME SCHEDULE TO THE CITY.
UH, WHILE THEY HAD THAT IN PLACE, THEY'VE RENEGOTIATED AND NOW IT LOOKS LIKE A SALE IS IMMINENT.
UH, THE WORK CAN'T REASONABLY COMPLETED WITHIN THE 90 DAYS OF THE DATE OF THE ORIGINAL ORDER.
THAT'S WHICH Y'ALL HAD RECOGNIZED AND EXTENDED IT.
AND, UH, THEN BASED ON THE INFORMATION PRESENTED, THE WORK NECESSARY TO BRING THE PROPERTY INTO COMPLIANCE WITH APPLICABLE LAWS CANNOT BE REASONABLY COMPLETED WITHIN THE TIME PROVIDED BY THE CURRENT ORDER.
HOWEVER, EXTENDING THE TIME TO COMPLETE THE WORK TO JANUARY 6TH PROVIDES THE OWNER ANOTHER INTEREST PARTIES A REASONABLE AMOUNT OF TIME TO REPAIR, REMOVE, REMOVE OR DEMOLISH THE STRUCTURE.
SO IN THAT REASONABLE AMOUNT OF TIME, THEY'VE RENEGOTIATED SALE, GOT A, GOT A CONTRACT SIGNED, AND THEY'RE LIKE, THE LIGHT IS AT THE END OF THE TUNNEL FOR THE REPLANTING PROCESS.
I FEEL FULLY CONFIDENT THAT THE COMPANY HAS IT AND IT'S A REPUTABLE CONSULTING FIRM FOR RE FOR REPL, NOT SUCH THINGS.
I'VE NEVER DONE IT, BUT, SO THESE ARE YOUR ORDERS IN NOVEMBER.
THE STRUCTURE REPAIR REMOVED OR DEMOLISHED IT ACCORDANCE APPLICABLE LAW.
IT'S, IT STAYED, IT STAYED SECURED, UH, AND UNTIL THE PROPERTY'S FOUND TO BE IN COMPLIANCE, UH, OWNERSHIP PROVIDE A WRITTEN MONTHLY PROGRESS.
I DON'T, WE DON'T GET, WE DON'T HAVE WRITTEN ONES, BUT I TALK TO HER EVERY OTHER WEEK ON THE PHONE.
SO, UH, UH, DO THE CODE MPROMISE NO LATER THAN THE FIRST DAY OF EACH MONTH.
SO WE, LIKE I SAID, I, WE DON'T HAVE WRITTEN REPORTS, BUT I I, SHE'S ON SPEED DIAL ON MY PHONE AND SHE CALLS ME AND I CALL HER, UH, UH, SO THE OWNER SHALL PROVIDE AN UPDATED AT EVEN MORE DETAILED PLAN AND TIMELINE, WHICH INCLUDES THE STATUS OF THE PERMITS AND ALL ON, OR BEFORE THE CONCLUSION OF THE HEARING ON JANUARY 6TH.
AND THAT I'M SURE THEY'RE HERE, WHICH HOPEFULLY IF THEY CAN BRING YOU UP TO SPEED AND, UH, THE PROPERTY SHALL BE SCHEDULED FOR, FOR, AND THE OWNER SHALL APPEAR AT THE JANUARY 6TH.
THEY'RE HERE, I BELIEVE, AND, UH, HERE AND, UH, WITH THEIR PLAN OF ACTION.
EVERYTHING ELSE, Y'ALL ON THE ORIGINAL ORDER, YOU'LL LEFT UNCHANGED.
SO WE'RE, I'M, I'M COMFORTABLE THEY'RE GONNA FOLLOW THROUGH.
SO TAKE THAT INTO CONSIDERATION AFTER YOU HEAR THEM SAY IT.
I THINK MANAGER IS ALSO ANY QUESTIONS TO MY RIGHT? NO.
UH, MS. SANCHEZ, IF YOU WOULD COME FORWARD, STATE YOUR NAME AND ADDRESS FOR THE RECORD AND IF YOU WOULD GIVE US AN UPDATE, PLEASE.
UH, WELL, I DON'T HAVE TOO MUCH MORE TO SAY.
I HAVE A COPY OF THE, THE COUNTRY.
WHAT'S YOUR NAME AND ADDRESS FOR THE RECORD? OH, I'M SORRY.
LETICIA SANCHEZ AND MY OWN ADDRESS.
2 26 NORTHEAST FIFTH STREET IN GRAND PRAIRIE, TEXAS.
UH, WELL, UH, I HAVE A COPY OF THE CONTRACT WITH ME.
SO THEY REALLY, REALLY WANT TO BUY.
[00:10:01]
UH, WELL, UH, THE, AS HE SAID, UH, THE PROPERTIES SAFE RIGHT NOW.WE PAY, ACTUALLY, HE HAS A LOT OF MATERIALS JUST IN CASE WE COULDN'T SELL.
I HAVE A PICTURES IF YOU WANNA SEE FROM MY PHONE.
UH, YOU KNOW, BUT BECAUSE WE SERIOUSLY WANT TO FOLLOW THE RULES JUST IN CASE THEY DON'T WANNA, UH, BUY, WE HAD THE MATERIALS READY.
I HAVE A CALL, I MEAN PICTURES, BUT EVERYTHING IS, UH, RUNNING SMOOTH.
THEY ARE HERE, THE CONTRACT, THE EARNEST MONEY, AND WE HAVE A TENTATIVE, UH, CLOSING DATE ON FEBRUARY 15.
IT DEPENDS ON, ON THE PLAS, YOU KNOW, WE HAVE TO HAVE THE PLANS READY, BUT THE PROCESS IS ROLLING TOO.
SO YEAH, EVERYTHING IS, WE ARE DOING, I MEAN, OUR BEST TO RESPOND.
I DON'T KNOW IF SOMEBODY HAS ANY QUESTION.
YEAH, WE'LL SEE IF ANY QUESTIONS TO MY LEFT? NO QUESTIONS.
ANY QUESTIONS TO MY RIGHT? NO QUESTIONS.
HAVE YOU APPLIED FOR ANY PERMITS OR NOT? UH, WELL, UH, THEY SAID AS SOON AS THEY FINISH MAKING THE PAPERS, UHHUH
AND WHAT ELSE? I THINK IT'S ZONING THE, THE ZONING DEPARTMENT.
THE CITY'S GONNA MAKE A PROCESS TO APPROVE AS SOON AS THE CITY APPROVE, THEY'RE GONNA GIVE IT TO US.
WELL THE BOARD DON'T HAVE ANY QUESTIONS.
DO THEY HAVE A COPY OF THAT CONTRACT THAT YOU I GOT IT RIGHT.
UM, JUST FOR THE BOARD'S INFORMATION, THERE IS AN A REVISION TO THE UNIFIED DEVELOPMENT CODE, WHICH IS BEING PROPOSED TO CITY COUNCIL FOR CONSIDERATION TOMORROW EVENING.
AND THAT WILL PROVIDE ADMINISTRATIVE APPROVAL TO OUR PLANNING DEPARTMENT, ALLOWING THEM TO ADMINISTRATIVELY APPROVE PLATS, WHICH MEET THE CITY REQUIREMENTS, WHICH MEANS THAT THE PLAT PROCESS CAN GO QUICKER ONCE IT'S SUBMITTED, THEN IT HISTORICALLY HAS, UM, BECAUSE IT WOULD NOT NECESSARILY HAVE TO GO TO THE PLANNING AND ZONING COMMISSION IF IT MEETS THE REQUIREMENTS.
NOW THAT'S ASSUMING THAT CITY COUNCIL DOES APPROVE THAT AMENDMENT TO UNIFIED DEVELOPMENT CODE.
WE HAVE SOME, UH, OTHER SPEAKERS.
I DUNNO IF THEY NEED TO SPEAK ORM.
MR. AND MS. DOE, DO Y'ALL WANNA SPEAK? OKAY.
UH, SO THE CHAIR WILL ENTERTAIN ANY MOTIONS AT THIS TIME, UNLESS Y'ALL WANT TO HAVE ANY DISCUSSION BOARD.
WELL, I'LL ENTERTAIN ANY MOTIONS AT THIS TIME.
WILL Y'ALL WANT TO EXTEND THE ORDER? UH, WILL YOU WANT TO, UH, CHANGE THE ORDER, MODIFY IT? DO YOU HAVE ANY SUGGESTIONS? I KEEP THE ORDER AS IS OKAY.
DO THEY NEED TO COME BACK NEXT MONTH? UM, DO I NEED TO TURN MY MIC? I'M SORRY.
I DON'T BELIEVE THAT THEY NEED TO COME BACK NEXT MONTH.
THE PROPERTY IS SCHEDULED TO BE CLOSED NEXT MONTH, SO IT SHOULD NOT BE THEIRS BY NEXT MONTH.
IF WE COME BACK, IF I CAN INTERJECT, WE, WELL HOPEFULLY WE'LL BE BACK HERE.
COME BACK NEXT MONTH OR MARCH OR MM-HMM
WE COULD, WE CAN LET YOU KNOW WHAT, WHAT HAPPENS.
SO THE ORDER CURRENTLY READS SO THAT THERE TIME ALLOWED TO REPAIR, REMOVE, OR DEMOLISH EXPIRES TODAY MM-HMM
SO IF THE ORDER IS NOT AMENDED, THEN THEY WILL BE IN VIOLATION OF THE ORDER.
AND ALSO THIS BOARD WILL LOSE ITS AUTHORITY TO MODIFY THE ORDER.
SO IF THE BOARD WISHES TO PROVIDE ADDITIONAL TIME, THEN THE BOARD WOULD WANT TO MAKE A MOTION TO AMEND THE ORDER TO EXTEND THE DEADLINE TO REPAIR, REMOVE OR DEMOLISH.
I WAS UNDER THE IMPRESSION BECAUSE THEY HAD MET, UH, THE REQUIREMENTS THAT WE STATED, UH, BEFORE THAT THEY WERE,
[00:15:01]
THEY WERE IN GOOD STANDING AND GOOD TO GO.SO THANKS FOR EXPLAINING THAT.
SO HOW, HOW, WHAT, AT THIS POINT, SINCE THEY'VE GOT ONE EXTENSION HIM, HOW, HOW MANY, HOW, HOW LONG CAN WE GIVE THEM? THAT IS WITHIN THE BOARD'S DISCRETION.
MR. CHAIR, IF, IF THERE'S A TENTATIVE DATE TO CLOSE ON FEBRUARY 15TH, I MEAN, I KNOW SOME THINGS CAN COME UP THERE, BUT I DON'T SEE THE REASON WHY WE COULDN'T HAVE IT BACK ON THE MARCH, THE MARCH MEETING.
AND IF ANYTHING HAS CHANGED AT THAT TIME, THEN, SO YOU'RE LOOKING AT 45 DAYS, 60 DAYS, WHATEVER THE MARCH DATE MEETING IS.
WHAT IS THAT? MARCH? WHAT IS THAT? WHAT IS THAT? UH, MARCH 3RD? IS THAT CORRECT, KAREN? YES, MA'AM.
SO DO YOU WANT TO KEEP THE SAME, SAME LANGUAGE IN, IN WHAT'S IN THIS ORDER? JUST EXTEND THE DATE IS A QUESTION I WANT TO ASK YOU.
I MEAN, IF THE, IF THE CITY IS SATISFIED WITH WHAT'S BEEN DONE, UH, THE, THE REMOVING HAS BEEN COMPLETED, UH, AND WE'RE JUST LITERALLY WAITING ON THE TRANSACTION TO CLOSE, IT WON'T BE CLOSED BY THE 1ST OF FEBRUARY.
SO THAT'S, I FEEL LIKE GONNA LEAVE US NO CHOICE.
IT'S THE EARLIEST TO COME BACK IN MARCH.
UM, I'M PERSONALLY OKAY WITH THAT AND I DON'T, I DON'T MIND MAKING THAT MOTION.
UM, IF EVERYBODY ELSE IS OKAY WITH THAT.
AND JUST FOR CLARIFICATION PURPOSES, ARE YOU ALSO EXPECTING AT THAT TIME THE NEW OWNER TO COME FORWARD WITH A PLAN OF ACTION AND A TIMELINE AS TO THEIR PLANS FOR THE PROPERTY? I THINK THAT WOULD BE A DISCUSSION WE NEED TO HAVE FOR SURE.
I I JUST WANNA MAKE SURE IF, IF THE BOARD HAS ANY EXPECTATIONS THAT THEY WANT THE NEW OWNER TO MEET WHEN THEY COME FORWARD.
I JUST WANNA MAKE SURE THAT THOSE ARE DOCUMENTED AND INCORPORATED IN THE ORDER.
I I WOULD RECOMMEND IT AS PART OF THE BOARD DISCUSSION BECAUSE EVEN IF THE SOMEONE BUYS THE PROPERTY, IT'S STILL GONNA BE IN NON-COMPLIANCE OF CITY OF CITY ORDINANCES.
UH, SO JUST BECAUSE SOMEONE BUYS IT DOESN'T MEAN THAT IT IS NOT IN NON-COMPLIANCE ANYMORE.
UH, SO THAT WOULD BE MY RECOMMENDATION, UH, WHAT Y'ALL, BUT THE BOARD, Y'ALL CAN DO WHATEVER YOU WANT TO, SO.
I I THINK WE NEED TO TIE THE POTENTIAL UBAR TO THE SAME ISSUE WITH BEING IN COMPLIANCE GIVEN THE CLOTHING.
IT'S GOOD TO GO ON THE 15TH OF FEBRUARY.
THE NEW BUYER, I'M ASSUMING ARE AWARE OF THE CONDITION OF THE PROPERTY AND, YOU KNOW YEAH.
SO YEAH, IF THEY'RE, THEY'RE AWARE OF THE CONDITION AND WHAT WE'RE GOING THROUGH WITH THE PROPERTY NOW, I THINK IT WOULD BE DILIGENT ENOUGH WITH THE TIME GIVEN THAT THEY WOULD BE ABLE TO COME UP WITH SOME, SOME TENTATIVE GAME PLANS, AT LEAST FOR DISCUSSION FOR US.
SO, SO IS YOUR MOTION TO, CAN I ASK A QUESTION? YEAH, GO AHEAD.
IS IT, UM, APPROPRIATE SINCE THEY ARE HERE? I MEAN, IT'S A SHORT WINDOW.
WE'RE LOOKING AT WHAT, 60 DAYS? BASICALLY 45 DAYS, UM, TO ASK THEM IF THEY FEEL LIKE THAT'S FAIR, THAT'S A REASONABLE AMOUNT OF TIME.
AFTER THE SALE, I MEAN, IF YOU WANT TO, ON THE 15TH, DO ANY OF ONE OF Y'ALL WANT TO COME UP AND ADDRESS THIS OR YES, PLEASE JUST STATE YOUR NAME AND ADDRESS FOR THE RECORD, PLEASE.
AND WHILE YOU'RE APPROACHING, I'LL TELL YOU WHAT I UNDERSTAND THEM TO BE DISCUSSING A PROVISION WHICH SAYS THE OWNER SH THE OWNER, WHICH WOULD BE YOU AT THAT POINT, SHALL PROVIDE AN UPDATED AND DETAILED PLAN AND TIMELINE, WHICH INCLUDES THE STATUS OF ALL PERMITS ON OR BEFORE THE CONCLUSION OF THE HEARING ON MARCH 3RD.
MY ADDRESS IS 4 4 2 1 WOODRIDGE DRIVE, ARLINGTON, TEXAS 7 6 0 1 3.
UM, LISTEN TO THE, UH, THE BOARD WAS SAYING EARLIER TO TODAY.
UH, I UNDERST, UM, WE UNDERSTOOD, WE UNDERSTAND, UM, WHAT WE HAVE TO DO.
OUR PLAN IS, IS, UH, AFTER WE PURCHASE THE PROPERTY WITH THE PROPERTY PLA UM, THEN WE WILL COME IN AND, AND HAVE THE, UM, OUR STRUCTURE ENGINEER OR ARCHITECTURE ENGINEER TO DRAW, REDRAW THE FACELIFT OF THE BUILDING, SUBMIT IT TO THE CITY FOR PERMIT TO DO THAT, UM, AT, UH, BY MARCH 1ST.
UM, UM, WE CAN ONLY SUBMIT THE DRAWING TO THE CITY, UM, WITH PROFESSIONAL ARCHITECTURE ENGINEERING TO, TO DO THE DRAWING AND
[00:20:01]
ALL OF THAT, WHETHER THE CITY OF PROOF OR NOT, THAT IS OUT OUR HANDS.WE WANT TO MAKE THE PROPERTY LOOKS, UH, BEAUTIFUL.
UM, IN ORDER FOR US TO OPERATE ON THAT BUILDING, WE, WE DON'T WANT THAT, UH, UH, THAT LOOK.
UM, WE OWE THAT, THAT WHAT WE'RE GONNA DO.
BUT TO COMPLETE THE, UM, THE FACELIFT, THE, UH, THE CONSTRUCTION PART, UH, UNTIL MARCH, THAT'S IMPOSSIBLE.
WE HAVE A GAME PLAN, THE CITY ARE PROOF, AND THEN WE COME IN AND DO IT BECAUSE WE DO IT RIGHT AWAY.
WE HAVE TO GO TO THE BANK AND FINANCE THAT PROPERTIES MM-HMM
EVERY DAY THAT WE COULDN'T PUT THAT INTO, UM, THE FUNCTIONAL WAY.
EVERY DAY WE LOSE MONEY, BUT WE HAVE TO PAY INTEREST TO THE BANK.
SO OUR INTEREST IS BY THE CITY OF INTEREST THAT WE WANT TO PUT THAT BUILDING, MAKE IT LOOK, LOOK, UH, NICE, SAFE, UM, UH, FUNCTIONABLE AND, AND, AND SO THAT WE CAN LEASE OUT OR WE CAN OPERATE IT.
ANY QUESTIONS TO MY RIGHT? I HAVE ONE.
SO DID YOU SAY YOU FEEL, FEEL COMFORTABLE THAT BY MARCH 1ST YOU THINK WE COULD BE AT THE POINT WHERE AT LEAST PERMITS ARE, ARE SUBMITTED TO THE CITY? IS THAT YES, SIR.
AS SOON SUICIDE, UH, AS SOON AS SUICIDE, WE, UH, WE CLOSE THE DEAL.
UH, WE GOING TO HAVE OUR STRUCTURE ENGINEER TO, TO DO THE DRAWING.
BUT AT LEAST WE CAN INITIALLY SUBMIT THE, UH, INITIAL DRAWING TO THE, UM, TO THE CITY.
UM, WE HAVE TO DO A CIVIL ENGINEER TOO, BECAUSE WE HAVE TO DO THE PLUMBING.
THE MVP, WHICH IS MECHANICAL, ELECTRICAL, PLUMBING, UM, A LOT OF WORK YOU DO, BUT WE GET THAT INTO MOTION.
WE COULD SUBMIT THAT TO THE CITY FOR AN ISSUE.
BUT, UM, BUT TO GET THE COMPLETE PACKAGE, THAT'S IMPOSSIBLE.
THAT'S ALL THE QUESTIONS I HAVE.
ANY QUESTIONS IN MY LEFT? NO QUESTIONS.
JUST IN TERMS OF, UM, THE MODIFICATION TO THE MOTION.
I THINK REALISTICALLY APRIL 7TH WOULD BE A GOOD TIME TO HAVE THE PERMITS AND, YOU KNOW, YOU WOULD BE ABLE TO PRESENT THE PLANS AND EVERYTHING AT THAT TIME.
I THINK MARCH IS, YOU KNOW, WE MAY JUST BE KIND OF REGURGITATING.
WELL THAT'S, IF THAT CLOSING NEEDED TO HAPPEN.
ARE YOU, UH, BUYING THE PROPERTY AS, IS YOU DOING HARD MONEY? UH, HARD MONEY LOAN ON IT AND NO INSPECTIONS? NO CONTINGENCIES.
UM, I, I, I, I'M, I DON'T GET, I'M SORRY.
COULD YOU REPEAT QUESTION? THAT'S OKAY.
ARE YOU PURCHASING THE PROPERTY WITH A HARD MONEY LOAN WITHOUT ANY INSPECTIONS OR CONTINGENCIES? MEANING YOU'RE BUYING IT REGARDLESS? YES, MA'AM.
'CAUSE UM, BECAUSE ACTUALLY WHAT WE DOING IS, IS WE DO THE, UH, RESEARCH ON OUR PROPERTIES AND THEIR AREA AND ALL OF THAT.
AND WE ARE VERY CONFIDENT THAT, UH MM-HMM
WITH OUR ABILITY 'CAUSE UH, I MYSELF A DEVELOPER MM-HMM
WITH OUR ABILITY THAT, THAT WE CAN GO IN AND FIX THE BUILDING REALLY NICE.
AND ATTRACT THE TENANT INTO THE BUILDING.
I JUST ASK THE BOARD TO KEEP IN MIND THAT WHATEVER DEADLINE YOU SET, IT IS THE NEW DEADLINE.
YOU CAN ALWAYS EXTEND IT, BUT YOU CANNOT SHORTEN IT.
MS. WILKINS, IS APRIL 7TH OUR NEXT MEETING STILL ON THE BOOKS? IT'S ON? YES.
THAT'S, THAT'S A SCHEDULED FOR NO CONCERNS ABOUT WITH MY BIRTHDAY EITHER.
SO YOU WANT TO, YOU WANT TO CHANGE YOUR MOTION? APRIL? OH, WELL, SO I'LL AMEND MY MOTION AND, UM, MAKE MY MOTION, UH, BE THAT WE, UM, REHEAR THIS BACK IN ON AT THE APRIL 7TH MEETING.
UM, AND, UH, WITH THE EXPECTATION THAT THE PAPERWORK WILL HAVE BEEN SUBMITTED TO THE CITY FROM THE NEW OWNERS.
UM, AND THAT WE'LL HAVE SOME PLANS AND SOME DISCUSSION, UH, AT OUR UPCOMING MEETING.
AND WE'LL HOLD, WE'LL KEEP, UM, THE ORDER AS WRITTEN.
DO YOU HAVE A SECOND ON THAT? SECOND.
SO HAVE A MOTION BY MR. KING AND A SECOND BY MS. AVERY.
