UM, I REPRESENT WELLS FARGO BANK, AND OBVIOUSLY, AS YOU WOULD IMAGINE, UH, WE WOULD PREFER MORE TIME TO TRY TO GET SOMETHING WORKED OUT, GET SOME TYPE OF REPAIRS MADE IN THIS.
UH, WE, UH, ALSO CONTACTED THE, UH, I GUESS THE, UH, IT'S OUR UNDERSTANDING THE HOMEOWNERS ARE DECEASED NOW, AND IT'S THE, WE BELIEVE THE CHILDREN ARE, ARE POSSIBLY RESIDING AT THE PROPERTY.

AND AT THAT TIME, HE, HE CLAIMED TO US TO NOT, UH, START MAKING REPAIRS OR MAKE ATTEMPT TO MAKE REPAIRS BECAUSE THEY WERE GOING TO CONTINUE WITH MAKING REPAIRS.
UM, THAT OBVIOUSLY HASN'T HAPPENED.
UH, WE WOULD LIKE TO FIGURE SOMETHING OUT.
OBVIOUSLY, WELLS FARGO CAN STEP IN HERE AND, AND HAS THE CAPACITY TO MAKE THE REPAIRS IF WE'RE GIVEN THE CHANCE TO, UH, WE HAVEN'T REVIEWED HOW LONG IT WOULD TAKE US TO FINISH REPAIRS ON, ON SOMETHING LIKE THAT.

MR. DALE LONG, THIS PROPERTY IS IN YOUR DISTRICT.
SIR, WHAT IS YOUR PLEASURE? I DO HAVE ONE QUESTION.
UH, CONSIDERING THE TESTIMONY BY MR. NPP, HOW DOES STAFF RESPOND TO THAT? UH, ARE CONCERNS ARE THAT THERE HAVE BEEN, UH, PROMISES OF ATTEMPTS OF REPAIR THAT HAVE NOT HAPPENED.
MY UNDERSTANDING IS THAT WHEN A BANK STEPS IN TO MAKE REPAIRS, THEY MUST, FIRST OF ALL, HAVE PERMISSION FROM THE HOMEOWNER BECAUSE THEY DO NOT USUALLY HAVE CONTROL OF THE PROPERTY AND CANNOT LEGALLY ENTER AND MAKE REPAIRS WITHOUT THE PERMISSION OF THE HOMEOWNER.
I DON'T KNOW IF THEY HAVE THAT AND HOW LONG IT WOULD TAKE TO SECURE THAT.
UH, THEY SEEM TO HAVE SOME QUESTIONS ABOUT THE OWNERSHIP ITSELF, AND I DON'T KNOW WHO TOOK THE LOAN OUT, BUT IT SEEMS THAT THE APPRAISAL DISTRICT HAS THE PROPERTY IN THE NAME OF PAULA CRAIG, WHO IS THE WOMAN WHO MET US AT THE PROPERTY.
ANYMORE, ANY MORE QUESTIONS? MR. LONG, WHAT IS YOUR, WHAT? WHAT IS YOUR PLEASURE, MR. CHAIR BOARD? UM, I MOVE THAT WE ACCEPT THE RECOMMENDATIONS FROM STAFF.

I LIVE AT 1516 DORY LANE, IRVING, TEXAS 75,061.
APPRECIATE BEING ABLE TO TALK TO THE BOARD.
UM, PROBABLY GONNA MESS UP QUITE A BIT.
UM, I KNOW I TRY TO TAKE EVERYTHING SERIOUSLY.
I KNOW Y'ALL HAVE A LOT OF THINGS TO HANDLE HERE LIKE THAT, LIKE TO, IF A COULD GIVE A LITTLE HISTORY OF THE PROPERTY.
UH, THE PROPERTY HAS BEEN IN THE FAMILY FOR OVER 50 YEARS.
UH, I ACTUALLY LIVED IN THE PROPERTY IN, WHEN I GRADUATED GARLAND HIGH SCHOOL IN 1971.
UH, FOUND THIS A LITTLE HARD TO BELIEVE.
BUT ANYWAY, UH, AFTER MY MOM PASSED AWAY ABOUT OVER A DECADE AGO, BOTH MY SISTERS HAVE LIVED AT THE HOUSE, BOTH HAD DISABILITIES, BOTH NEEDED ASSISTANCE, WHICH I GAVE THEM.
UH, YOUNGER SISTER PASSED AWAY THERE.
UH, THE OLDER SISTER, SIR, I WAS ABLE TO BUY HER A TRAILER HOME ON THE LAKE WHERE SHE RESIDES NOW.
[00:45:02]
AND AFTER WAS ABLE TO GET HER ANOTHER PLACE, UH, HAD PLANNED ON WORKING ON THE HOUSE, I ACQUIRED A RENTER.UH, AND IMMEDIATELY AFTER THAT, THE PANDEMIC HIT AND HAD HOPED TO, UM, USE SOME OF THE INCOME TO TAKE CARE OF THE PROPERTY.
THE PERSON THAT LIVED THERE SAID HE WAS UNABLE TO PAY THE RENT, PAID FOR ANYTHING, MAKE ANY DEALS.
I PAID THE ELECTRICITY BILLS OFF HIP, THE, UM, PROPERTY TAXES, EVERYTHING ELSE, NO HELP.
UH, THE POLICIES OF THE PANDEMIC KEPT ME FROM BEING TO EVICTING.
AND SO THINGS KEPT, HE, I KNOW THEY SAY HE WAS WORKING ON SOME H V A C, WHICH IS NOT THE CORRECT WAY.
HE WAS, UM, APPARENTLY MAKING, UH, METHANE IN THE ATTIC WHERE HE SAID HE WAS GOING TO REPLACE A, UH, THERE WAS NO CONDENSER OUTSIDE.
THERE WERE NO, NOTHING WORKED IN THE DEAL.
I MEAN, THERE'S NO NOTHING THERE TO WORK ON, TO FIX OR ANYTHING ELSE.
UM, HE WAS ARRESTED AND CHARGED WITH A ARSON.
HE WAS GIVEN PROBATION WITH NO RESTITUTION.
UM, THIS IS, UM, MY INTENT IS TO RESTORE THE PROPERTY.
I WAS, UM, YOU KNOW, I WAS HIT PRETTY HARD AS A PAINT CONTRACTOR WITH A PMI.
DIDN'T HAVE MUCH WORK, SO I DIDN'T HAVE A LOT OF INCOME.
I HAVE, UH, INTENT TO BRING IT UP TO CODE TO DO THAT STUFF.
AND THE, THE TIMELINE IS JUST, I MEAN, I, I DON'T REALLY KNOW ANY CONTRACTORS OUT THERE THAT, OR ANYBODY THAT CAN DO THIS AND THIS TIMEFRAME.
I GUESS IF I, I'M SURE THEY'RE PROBABLY SOMEBODY OUT THERE THAT GLADLY TAKE FOR OPINIONS ON THE DOLLAR AND DO THAT.
AND THEN MY FAMILY WOULD BE HURT EVEN FURTHER.
UH, I KNOW THE, MY UNDERSTANDING, I DON'T KNOW ANYTHING, BUT MY UNDERSTANDING IS THAT THEY COULD TEMPORARILY CONDEMN THE PROPERTY.
UM, AND WHAT I WOULD AT LEAST LEAST ASK IS TO GIMME MORE TIME TO DEAL WITH IT.
LIKE I SAID, THIS MAN SAID THERE HAS, I'VE BEEN IN CONTACT WITH THE REALTOR TO TRY TO FIND OUT WHAT MY OPTIONS ARE, BUT, AND I WAS NOTIFIED AND TALKED TO SOMEBODY MARKED AT 27TH.
SO SAID I HADN'T MADE, GOT ANY BILLING PERMITS.
WELL, I, WHEN I TALKED TO THE GENTLEMAN BEHIND ME HERE, HE, I ASKED FOR INFORMATION.
I DIDN'T GET ANYTHING OTHER THAN, YOU KNOW, COME TO THE B BOARD MEETING, BE THERE AND THAT KIND OF STUFF.
YOU, HEY, IF YOU COME AND GET A PERMIT, MAYBE IT'LL LOOK BETTER.
UM, I JUST NEED A LITTLE MORE TIME THAN THAT TO DO THE RIGHT THING.
AND I WOULD HOPE EVERYBODY HERE THINKS ABOUT THAT.
IT'S NOT, IT'S NOT ABOUT, YOU KNOW, LIKE I SAID, I'VE BEEN IN THE FAMILY FOR OVER 50 YEARS.
UM, WE'RE TRY TO DO THE RIGHT THING.
I'VE TRIED TO DRUGS FROM MY WHOLE LIFE.
MR. DENNY, WE HAVE SOME QUESTIONS.
IF YOU CAN REMAIN FOR A FEW MORE MINUTES, PLEASE.
THIS IS QUESTION IS, IS RE IS RELATED TO THE REMEDY OF, OF THE PROPERTY GETTING BACK UP TO, TO COMPLIANCE.
WHAT IS WHAT NOW? TWO QUESTIONS.
WHAT IS A, WHAT IS YOUR PLAN AND WHAT IS A SIMPLE TIMEFRAME THAT YOU NEED TO GET THIS PROPERTY? GET FIRST, FIRST OF ALL, TO IMMEDIATELY, UM, GET ALL THE YARD STUFF TAKEN CARE OF, GET ALL THE PROPERTY LOOKING GOOD, GET THE OUTSIDE CLEANED UP, ETC.
THEN TO, I MEAN, IT HAS TO HAVE ALL NEW, BASICALLY WINDOWS, DOORS, INSIDE DOORS, UM, UH, FLOORING, PLUMBING, ET CETERA, ELECTRICAL.
ALL THAT IS A LOT HAS TO BE DONE.
AND I HAVE CONTRACTORS THAT I, THAT, THAT I KNOW, THAT WORK WITH THEIR PERSONAL FRIENDS THAT I CAN, THAT WILL GLADLY HELP, BUT NOBODY'S CAN BE DONE IN THAT TIMEFRAME THAT I KNOW OF.
I MEAN, I, THAT'S WHAT I, YOU KNOW, IT JUST NEEDS MORE TIME.
I MEAN, I'VE BID ON A HOUSE PAINTING YESTERDAY.
UM, THE LEAD TIME ON WINDOWS IS 14 WEEKS.
THE, YOU KNOW, AND JUST, I MEAN, IT'S JUST, IT'S A HARD REALISTIC THING TO PULL OFF.
SO IT JUST HAD TO BE THROWN AWAY.
HAVE TO TRY TO GIVE IT TO SOMEBODY THAT PROBABLY HAS SPECIALIZED IN THIS.
AND I DON'T, I JUST DON'T SEE THAT AS A
[00:50:01]
REAL GOOD SOLUTION.BUT IF THAT'S WHAT THEY ARE, THAT'S WHAT IT IS.
14 WEEKS FROM THAT WAS THE LEAD TIME ON WINDOWS.
THAT'S IS FOR RESIDENCE THAT I BID ON PAINTING.

YES, I, UM, PUT TOGETHER A TIMELINE TO GIVE TO YOU ALL, UM, REGARDING THE PROPERTY.
UM, UH, AS, UM, MR. WEINSTEIN, UM, REFERENCE, YOU KNOW, THERE WAS A FIRE
[01:00:01]
AT THE HOUSE AND THE OWNER, THEY WANTED TO GO AHEAD AND PUT IT BACK TOGETHER THEMSELVES, AND THEN THEY, THEY SAW THAT IT WAS GONNA BE TOO MUCH FOR THEM TO DO.SO, UM, I OFFERED TO PURCHASE, PURCHASE IT FROM THEM, UM, WHICH I DID.
UM, THEY RECEIVED SOME LOW BALL OFFERS FOR THE POINT OF PROPERTY, AND THEY JUST DECIDED THAT THEY WANTED TO GO AHEAD AND SELL IT.
UM, RIGHT NOW, I MEAN, WE, WE'VE ALREADY LINED UP THE CONTRACTORS TO, TO DO THE WORK AND I'M ACTUALLY THE GENERAL CONTRACTOR PORT OF PROPERTY, SO I'M PRETTY HANDS ON.
UM, I NOTICED THERE'S A TIMELINE, UM, TO HAVE A RECOMMENDATION TO HAVE IT FINISHED BY JUNE THE 30TH.
UM, NOW WHEN I LOOK AT THE NUMBER, I I, MY GOAL IS TO HAVE IT COMPLETED BY JUNE THE 30TH, BUT THERE'S A COMPONENT WITHIN THE CONSTRUCTION PLANS, WHICH IS TO ADD SOME MORE CONCRETE.
AND WITH THE WEATHER BEING THE WAY THAT IT IS, THAT'S THAT HAVE FOR US.
UM, I'M GONNA PAUSE YOU FOR A SECOND.
SO THIS IS YOUR, YOUR PLAN THAT YOU'RE DISTRIBUTING TO? YES.
UM, LILY, I'D LIKE TO ENTER, UH, MR. HERNS PLAN N AND FOR THE RECORD AS EXHIBIT A, THIS IS EXHIBIT A.
SO, I MEAN, UM, AGAIN, THE GOAL IS TO HAVE IT DONE BY THE, BY THE 30TH, BUT AGAIN, WE'RE POURING THE CONCRETE.
UM, UM, BUT THAT'S A MAJOR PART OF IT BECAUSE ONCE, ONCE THEY POUR THE CONCRETE, WE'RE GONNA, WE HAVE A LOT OF FRAMING THAT WE HAVE TO DO.
AND, UH, THE CONTRACTOR THAT'S, UM, DOING THE CONCRETE, HE JUST SAID THAT WE PROBABLY NEED TO LET A CURE FOR ABOUT A WEEK OR SO.
SO THAT'S PROBABLY GONNA PUT US SOMETIME MID-APRIL.
AND THEN AFTER THAT WE'LL HAVE THE FRAMERS COME IN.
UM, I GUESS MY, MY THOUGHT IS, YOU KNOW, IF WE GET TO THE 30TH AND WE STILL HAVE WORK TO DO, WE WOULD'VE PUT A SIGNIFICANT AMOUNT OF MONEY IN IT.
AND I JUST DON'T KNOW IF THERE'S ANY LEEWAY AS IT RELATES TO THAT.
IT'S, I'LL LET MR. WEINSTEIN SPEAK TO THAT.
WE, WE CERTAINLY HAVE NO DESIRE TO DEMOLISH A BUILDING THAT IS WELL UNDERWAY OF, OF BEING REPAIRED.
OUR CONCERN WOULD BE WITH THE CIVIL PENALTIES, UH, STARTING TO ACCRUE BEFORE THE FINISHED DATE.
UH, WHEN WE, WHEN WE SPOKE, UH, WE HAD A GENERAL IDEA OF THE AMOUNT OF TIME IT WOULD TAKE.
MS. HERN HAS SENT, SHOWED ME A PICTURE OF A BEAUTIFUL HOME THAT THE ARCHITECT HAS DRAWN.
AND I DO, I LOOKS TO ME LIKE THAT MAY TAKE A BIT LONGER THAN OUR INITIAL RECOMMENDATION.
SO MY QUESTION IS, THIS MAY BE TO THE ATTORNEY, CITY ATTORNEY ANSWER YOU, WILL YOU CITY RECOMMENDATION, WILL IT, WILL YOU BE, WILL THERE BE ANY, UH, OBJECTION IF, IF WE WAIVE, WAIVE THE CIVIL, CIVIL PENALTIES, BUT STILL CONTINUE WITH THE TIMELINES? UH, I WOULD NOT HAVE AN OBJECTION.
UH, HOWEVER, IT WOULD BE UNUSUAL TO, BUT IT, IT SEEMS TO ME THAT IT MIGHT BE MORE CONDUCIVE TO THE PLAN MOVING FORWARD TO PERHAPS EXTEND OUT THE START DATE OF THE CIVIL PENALTIES AS WELL AS THE DEMOLITION DATE.
AND, AND JUST TO CLARIFY, THE, THE BOARD IS WELCOME TO, TO ACCEPT THE RECOMMENDATION AS IS OR AMENDED IN ANY WAY.
IF YOU WANT TO EXTEND DATES OR ANYTHING LIKE THAT.
ALL RIGHT, MR. MR. HERNS ANY MORE? RIGHT.
I, AGAIN, THE GOAL IS TO GET IT DONE BECAUSE THE LONGER THAT, THAT WE'RE WORKING ON IT AND DON'T HAVE ANYBODY IN IT, THEN THAT'S MORE MONEY OUT OF OUR POCKET EACH MONTH.
SO, I MEAN, WE, WE REALLY ARE GONNA BE PUSHING TOWARDS THAT GOAL.
UM, AS MY WIFE REMINDS ME EVERY TIME WE DON'T GET SOMETHING DONE
UM, BUT, UM, WE WILL, OUR GOAL IS TO TRY TO GET IT DONE BY THE 30TH.
UH, FIRST I JUST WANNA THANK YOU FOR COMING WITH A ORGANIZED PLAN AND YOUR COMMITMENT TO RESTORING THIS PROPERTY.
