48
00:13:39.200 --> 00:13:54.720
got notice of all this happening within the past week or so because my brother's in stage four cancer. My mother's elderly and does not live at the house anymore for the past year, give or take. And I'm just finding all this out. I'm trying to get the house sold as of now.

49
00:13:54.720 --> 00:14:11.839
And as of this has been happening for the past year, I've just been having life kind of kick me when I'm down. I'm just needing a minute so I can kind of get myself bearing, get my one older brother under control with stage four cancer, take care of my old my elderly mother, and keep moving forward.

50
00:14:11.839 --> 00:14:28.399
>> Um, thank you. Did you have first did you have any questions of his testimony >> as far as the damage to the house? I don't know what to say about the house besides it's being dilapitated. At one time I had another situation where I had stuff fixed, but then life started to happen. My brother ended up getting sick

51
00:14:28.399 --> 00:14:44.399
out of no place and it's just life took place. >> So, how much time are you asking the commission for? >> I honestly I don't know. I'm trying to get the house sold as of right now and I don't know how long it'll take me to find somebody. I met with somebody actually yesterday. I have another meeting tomorrow and I'm trying to get

52
00:14:44.399 --> 00:14:58.959
the house on the market to get it sold. So you have no intention of doing anything to it? >> If I at this moment I just want to get life is more important than house cuz my mom is too old to live in it by herself and she lived in it for a long time by

53
00:14:58.959 --> 00:15:15.199
herself only on the one side. That's the older side. It was a museum basically for an elderly person to live in. It was clean and kept up. After she moved out and I quit checking mail when my brother got sick, that's when mail started to stack up. I wouldn't check mail. I would

54
00:15:15.199 --> 00:15:31.199
just grab bundles of mail, put in the back of the car in a bag, and keep going forward going to dealing with my brother being a stage four, >> right? >> And taking care of my old mom, >> right? >> So, the the city's going to ask for 30 days to repair or demolish it. What

55
00:15:31.199 --> 00:15:46.639
would you ask us for? >> I would love to get more time. I think 30 days is too quick. I don't know if I can get everything done. >> How much would you like? >> Is there a maximum that I can ask for? >> 90 is the most without a work plan or anything. What's the most? >> 90. >> 90 days. >> Yes.

56
00:15:46.639 --> 00:16:02.720
>> If I can accept 90 days, try to get it under control, please. I would appreciate it very much. >> Do you in the interim, do you plan on doing anything like I said to it? >> You know, honestly, at this moment right now with my brother being in his condition, it's not on my agenda, but if that's something that I have to change

57
00:16:02.720 --> 00:16:17.839
my gears and go towards, I will do that to satisfy the city. I'm not trying to be a hazardous insituation in the residence. It's the ugliest house on the block. I get that. I'm not trying to have a hazard in the area and and I'm not trying to cause drama. >> Right. Okay. Any questions?

58
00:16:17.839 --> 00:16:34.560
>> At one point that area got fixed and then money ran out and I wasn't able to complete and I don't think I satisfied the woman or whoever was exactly the way she wanted it done. It's just money and time and life. And I know that's that's not a good excuse. I apologize for that.

59
00:16:34.560 --> 00:16:50.560
Do you think uh that it need do you think it can be repaired in your opinion if someone bought it or is it something that you're >> honestly I don't feel why it couldn't be repaired because like I said the repairs are yeah they look dramatic but it's it just needs to be redone. >> Okay. Any questions?

60
00:16:50.560 --> 00:17:06.400
>> A little bit of money and money goes a long way. I don't have the money to invest into it. >> Any questions from commissioners? >> I'm sorry. Your last comment you said you do have the financial means to fix it up. >> I do not have the financial means to fix it up. That's why I'm trying to sell the house

61
00:17:06.400 --> 00:17:31.440
to take care of family and life. >> The city. >> Yes, ma'am. >> I can barely hear you. >> Listing it. Is it currently listed or >> It's not It's not listed. I've only had

62
00:17:31.440 --> 00:17:48.320
a few people who have contacted me through when you have like under, you know, they contact you, you have a house for sale. I've had a few people come by and phone calls and I get a lot of spam calls, but I met with somebody yesterday. I have one more meeting tomorrow. And I'm just trying to get out of the hole to where I can sell the

63
00:17:48.320 --> 00:18:04.080
house, make a little bit of money to take care of my mother, take care of my brother, and move forward. Because honestly, without trying to look like I'm looking for a pity case, my next step is going to be a couple funerals. Once my older brother dies, my mother will be far beh won't be far behind or

64
00:18:04.080 --> 00:18:20.320
one will go before the other. And then that leaves me in my my dad's already passed away over 20 years. >> So your plan is to list it and sell it. >> Yes. I'm sorry for that long excuse. I apologize. >> Thank you. Does the city have any questions? >> Is the paperwork in order for you to

65
00:18:20.320 --> 00:18:36.160
sell the property? >> Sorry. Is the paperwork right here? >> I'm sorry. >> Oh, I'm sorry. >> Is the paperwork in order for you to sell the property? >> Is the paperwork I don't even know how to get I've never sold a house, so I don't know what to do with paperwork as far as that. I'm hoping one of the realtors or somebody I speak to that

66
00:18:36.160 --> 00:18:52.320
buys properties can help me along those lines because my dad passed away and they didn't do anything they were supposed to when they were supposed to. This would be my first rodeo doing this. I have no idea how to do it.

67
00:18:52.320 --> 00:19:08.480
>> Um ask a question to the city. >> I was see if they had any questions first. Does the city have any questions of the >> No questions. >> All right. I think uh Mr. Lou has a question of the city. So, I noticed that this originated in 2024, September 26. Who was getting notices back then?

68
00:19:08.480 --> 00:19:23.760
>> So, the notices went to the TAD owner, which was um Miss Walter and Judy Evans. >> Is that your mother? >> That's my mom at the address that she didn't live at, and all the mail was there, but I wasn't checking the mail on

69
00:19:23.760 --> 00:19:40.320
a regular basis once my brother got sicker. He had kidney failure. Okay. >> Thank you. >> Any other questions? City ready to close? >> Yes. Uh, the city requests that the structures be declared substandard and

70
00:19:40.320 --> 00:19:55.760
hazardous. The city further requests that the owner be ordered to repair or demolish the structures within 30 days. If the owner fails to repair or demolish the structures within 30 days, the city staff's authorized to enter onto the property and cause the demolition of said structures and lean all costs

71
00:19:55.760 --> 00:20:12.320
associated with demolition against the property. >> So, is that I'm sorry. >> All right. So, the city's asked for 30 days and I think you said you've as are asking for 90 >> 90 just so I can have a little bit of cushion time in case life happens and I can't get things done in that 30-day situation. Okay.

72
00:20:12.320 --> 00:20:28.640
>> I can kind of get paperwork involved and get a couple more realtors or whoever to get the house listed and sold. >> Okay. Uh keep in mind too, I'll read it after there's amendment process which means after we give a time frame, you can come back and ask for additional time if you have more steps in motion on

73
00:20:28.640 --> 00:20:42.640
that. So, you know, if the commission gives you set number of days now within the time frame, you can ask for additional time if stuff's in the work or whatever on that. So, just >> would that be talking to Mr. Frank? >> Yes, just keep in touch with your code officer. All right. So, at this time, we'll close the public portion of the

74
00:20:42.640 --> 00:20:58.880

87
00:24:20.720 --> 00:24:38.159
in reference to administrative civil case ACP-26-45 at the address of 612 Timothy Drive. This violation was identified on October 15, 2025. This violation was citizen initiated.

88
00:24:38.159 --> 00:24:54.640
There have been several notices mailed certified and regular to the owner and and delivered to the property. Despite the city's efforts, the property remains in violation. There have been 13 inspections by multiple officers since the inception of this case. One citation was issued prior

89
00:24:54.640 --> 00:25:09.679
to the case being sent to news abatement. An administrative search warrant was not needed to enter the property. There have been nine contacts with multiple additional attempts to contact the owner, family, or tenants and occupants. The new disobment order was

90
00:25:09.679 --> 00:25:24.400
posted on the property on March 2nd, 2026 and expired on March 12th, 2026. A notice to appear for today's hearing was mailed and posted on the property on April 2nd, 2026. The last inspection was performed on

91
00:25:24.400 --> 00:25:40.080
April 23rd, 2026. The staff recommendation is to assess a civil penalty of $4,500 and also order the owner to remove the items as outlined in ordinance 11 A- 26 A1 27 and

92
00:25:40.080 --> 00:25:57.279
8 within 30 days from the effective date of the order. If the owner does not remove all the ordered items within the 30-day period, authorize the city staff to enter onto the property and cause the removal of set items and lean all costs associated with the removal against the

93
00:25:57.279 --> 00:26:13.840
property. The reason for the amount of the civil penalty requested is the fact that progress has been made since the new subment order was posted on the property on March 2nd, 2026. The property contains a health hazard of items that can harbor vectors. This

94
00:26:13.840 --> 00:26:38.559

104
00:30:16.880 --> 00:30:34.480
that Mr. Stone has presented? >> During my last inspection, he had made like 40% and from he he posted some photos, not all of them, but I'll say he made maybe another 25%, 20%.

105
00:30:34.480 --> 00:30:50.559
So, do you feel like that's um the cleanup that he's shown has been um about 40% progress? >> I'd say in total since the beginning around 65%. It's hard to measure.

106
00:30:50.559 --> 00:31:06.320
>> Okay. No further questions. >> All right. You ready to close? >> Yes. The city requests the commission assess a civil penalty of $4,500 and also order the owner to remove any and all items outlined in ordinance 11 A-26A

107
00:31:06.320 --> 00:31:23.360
1 2 7 and 8 within 30 days if the owner fails to comply with said order authorize the city staff to enter onto the property and cause the removal of said items and lean all costs associated with removal against the property. >> Right, Mr. Stone, you heard the city's

108
00:31:23.360 --> 00:31:40.000
asking for 30 days and a $4,500 fine. I think you said you could get it done within 30 days. Um, and then uh what the fine um to let you know that typically on these once once it's cleaned up, there's an amendment process. You come back in and we typically wave or reduce

109
00:31:40.000 --> 00:31:55.440
it depending on how much is done. So whatever is rendered today, if you get it cleaned up and do an amendment process and come back to see us, we can uh remove or reduce it even further. >> Okay. Anything you else care to add today? >> At this time, we'll close the public portion of the hearing and open it up

>> All right. The city ready. >> Yes. >> The city would call officer Jose Zantano. Go ahead. Sorry. >> Hello, commissioners. I'll be giving testimony in reference to administrative civil case ACP-26-50

123
00:35:38.240 --> 00:35:56.240
at the address of 2513 Wallace Street. This violation was identified on July 7th, 2025. This violation was officer initiated. There have been several notices mailed and certified regular to the owner and hand delivered to the property. Despite the city's efforts,

124
00:35:56.240 --> 00:36:13.359
the property remains in violation. There have been 12 inspections by multiple officers since the inception of this case. Zero citations were issued prior to the case being sent oayment. An administrative search warrant was not needed to enter the property.

125
00:36:13.359 --> 00:36:28.720
There have been nine contacts with multiple additional attempts to contact the owner, family, or tenants and occupants. The new abatement order was posted on the property on March 2nd, 2026, and expired on March 12th, 2026. A notice to appear to today's hearing was

126
00:36:28.720 --> 00:36:43.920
mailed and posted on the property on April 2nd, 2026. The last inspection was performed on April 23rd, 2026. The staff recommendation is to assess a civil penalty of $4,500 and also order the owner to remove the items as

127
00:36:43.920 --> 00:36:59.599
outlined in ordinance 11A- 26 A127 and 8 within 30 days from the effective date of the order. If the owner does not remove all the ordered items within 30-day period, authorize the city staff to enter the

128
00:36:59.599 --> 00:37:16.960
property and cause the removal of set items and lean off cost associated with the removal against the property. The reason for the amount of the civil penalty requested is the fact that little progress has been made since the newest subment order was posted on the property on March 2nd, 2026.

129
00:37:16.960 --> 00:37:33.200
The property contains a health hazard of items that can harbor vectors. This address has had active trash service since November 13, 1967. This is the end of my testimony. >> Has progress been made?

130
00:37:33.200 --> 00:37:47.680
>> Very little. >> Any new stuff coming on or is it just existing? >> Existing items. >> Any other questions for the code officer? Mr. Dimes, if you'll state your name and city of residence.

131
00:37:47.680 --> 00:38:03.280
>> My name is Willie Dimes. 2513 Wallace Street. >> All right. Did you have any questions of this code officer? >> If you'll sorry if you'll talk into the microphone so we can hear you. There you go. Thank you. >> See,

132
00:38:03.280 --> 00:38:21.280
it's it's a lot of stuff not being told correctly here. I'm a veteran. My house was supposed to be remodeled by one of the veteran programs, but it's a lot it's a whole lot more to this

133
00:38:21.280 --> 00:38:36.480
than I could really explain. I have asked the FBI to look into it cuz it I've been mistreated a lot about this co client. I used to work for him

134
00:38:36.480 --> 00:38:53.440
and some of the stuff that have went on nobody would believe I could, you know, to me I done everything I could that I went where they sent me I would done what I was told but how I have been treated is

135
00:38:53.440 --> 00:39:10.240
totally unreal to me. Y'all won't believe what people have done to me, including my own family. >> Yeah, I'm sorry to hear. What is your plans to for for getting this cleaned

136
00:39:10.240 --> 00:39:28.000
up? That's what we're here today for. How much time do you need to get it cleaned up? >> Well, like I said, being sick like I am, like I said, nobody would believe. >> I Sorry, I can't hear you, Mr. Nobody would believe how I've been

137
00:39:28.000 --> 00:39:44.000
treated, but you can get the record and see for yourself. See, a lot of stuff started with that property. I decided to work for code, so I know I know I know they routine. I know how they operate,

138
00:39:44.000 --> 00:40:02.320
but I worked for them for about a year, maybe a little over. I don't know for sure. I never got collected a dime. They didn't. They wouldn't pay me. Why? My old lady

139
00:40:02.320 --> 00:40:16.800
>> and her mother >> I can't you Why don't you move the microphone over so we can hear you? If you you can over there. >> My old lady and her mother took my baby son. I wasn't getting checks. I fill my

140
00:40:16.800 --> 00:40:34.640
invoices out and turn them in. I would never I never heard anything. But I would go down to the courthouse and look and tell the lady. So she finally, she said, "Well, we're gonna have to put an investigation into what's going on." And uh

141
00:40:34.640 --> 00:40:53.040
they put an investigation, my old lady, and I was getting my baby son the checks and they would cash them. So the lady told me he said by law we

142
00:40:53.040 --> 00:41:09.599
supposed to pay you but you would have to file >> Mr. D. I'm sorry. Let's let we need to focus on this case here and and what we're going to do to get it cleaned up about the past. >> I I just need some a little time. >> Okay. How much time do you need?

143
00:41:09.599 --> 00:41:26.960
>> Give me 90 days. And like I said, my house is set up for remodeling because I'm a veteran and they going to remodel it. They don't want to have me to set out a bunch of stuff cuz they got they need room to do do things. >> Okay.

144
00:41:26.960 --> 00:41:43.040
>> You know, >> so 90 days is what you're asking us for? >> That's what I'm asking. >> Okay. And there's also a fine or a civil penalty. But as I discussed to the last gentleman, once the work is completed, if if you do an amendment process, you can come back before us and we can look at adjusting that amount. So make sure

145
00:41:43.040 --> 00:41:58.560
you stay in touch with your code officer and the amendment process. >> Well, I I I I do try to stay in contact with everybody cuz like I said, the FBI going to be investigating some stuff that went on. I mean, y'all will be totally surprised. How could somebody

146
00:41:58.560 --> 00:42:16.400
do? I spent about a year locked up in some kind of a totally unreal how I was treated. Nobody would believe. I mean, I wanted to kill my own self

147
00:42:16.400 --> 00:42:31.520
the way I was treated. I'm sorry about about that, but you know, moving forward, we're trying to get this this piece, you know, cleaned up in n and so you're requesting 90 days. >> Yes, I am. >> Okay. Any questions from the city?

148
00:42:31.520 --> 00:42:48.640
>> Uh, no questions of this witness. >> Any uh thing from the commissioners? Um, all right. You ready to close? >> Just one. >> Oh, sorry. >> Mr. Dimes, do you have anybody helping you clean this up? one of my grandsons. I see I helped a

150
00:43:04.800 --> 00:43:22.000
Zantano. Um, are any of the materials collected outside the house have anything to do with remodeling? >> No, none of them. Um, have you followed up with any of the community programs um that he's reached out to for their help? >> Yes, I got an email this morning saying

151
00:43:22.000 --> 00:43:38.319
that some of their grants were barely awarded and that's all the information that I have. So, they're going to start remodeling, but there's no timeline on it. >> Okay, that's nothing further. >> Ready to close?

152
00:43:38.319 --> 00:43:54.880
>> Yes. The city requests that the commission assess a civil penalty of $4,500 and also order the owner to remove the items as outlined in ordinance 11A-26A 1 27 and 8 within 30 days. If the owner fails to comply with said order,

153
00:43:54.880 --> 00:44:10.079
authorize the city staff to enter onto the property and cause the removal of said items and lean all costs associated with the removal against the property. >> All right. Uh Mr. times. You heard the city's asked for 30 days, but you've asked for 90 days. Is that anything else

154
00:44:10.079 --> 00:44:29.200
you care to add? >> Like I say, >> in the microphone, sorry, we can't hear you. >> I like I said, I think if someone would for somebody from the council would come out and take a look and see. See, a lot

155
00:44:29.200 --> 00:44:47.119
of this stuff is on my is on my property. It belongs to the people that live behind me. But I asked the cold people, you know, they tell me I I that man shoot me cuz that was that

156
00:44:47.119 --> 00:45:04.000
that's that's my property but his stuff. I I I just can't see how they expect me to do something with somebody else putting stuff on my property. He got property. He got a bunch of stuff on his property just like I have. But nobody's saying

157
00:45:04.000 --> 00:45:20.880
anything to him. It's just me. Why me? >> You I can't speak to other, you know, other cases on that. But, you know, if there's something that you might, you know, call the the police if if stuff is not your if if his stuff is on your property, you might work with the police possibly. I I don't know. I would work

158
00:45:20.880 --> 00:45:36.720
with with them on that. >> We'll see. >> If it's your property, you're responsible for, you know, cleaning it up. >> Well, like I said, I have talked to the cold guy. I asked him, you know, he the corn man. I I'm not I'm I'm the

159
00:45:36.720 --> 00:45:53.839
responsibility to tell this guy put this his stuff on his own property, not on mine. But like I said, I just work for code. I know how they operate. >> All right. Thank you. So, at this time, we'll close the public portion of the hearing and open up for a motion.
