If the owner does not comply

All right, Mr. Evans, you if you want to step up there, if you'll pull that microphone down so we can hear you. Yes, sir. You'll state your name and city of residence. >> Ladies and gentlemen, my name is Toby Evans. That is my mom's house and I just
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.
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.
>> 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
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
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
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
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
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.
>> 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
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?
>> 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.
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?
>> 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
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
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
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
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
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
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.
>> 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?
>> 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
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
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
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.
>> 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
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
hearing and open it up for a motion. >> I move that the structure be declared substandard and hazardous. >> Second that. >> Second by Mr. uh uh Leiden. Ready for a vote. This is a motion to declare the

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.
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
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
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
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
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
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
address has had active trash service since October 23rd, 2024. This is the end of my testimony. >> Any questions for the code officer? Mr. Stone, Carl Stone, if y'all want to come up.

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.
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?

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
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
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
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
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
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,
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
>> 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
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
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
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?
>> 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.
>> 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
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
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
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?

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
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?
>> 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,
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
