[ITEM 2: The Commission receive updates concerning the structure owned by Cristobal Hernandez at 503 W Ward Street that was deemed substandard by the commission on June 16, 2025 and an order of demolition was issued on July 21, 2025. (BSC 23-00188) ]

DENNY. AGENDA ITEM NUMBER TWO. THE CASE NUMBER 23-00188.

UPDATE ON 503 WEST WARD STREET. MR. HERNANDEZ, AFTER Y'ALL HAD APPROVED US TO DEMO THE THE PROPERTY, MR.. HERNANDEZ CAME UP AND HE WANTED TO DO IT HIMSELF, AND HE HE DID GET OVER THERE.

HE GOT THE EQUIPMENT HE NEEDED IN. HE TOOK CARE OF IT.

HE LIKED TO DEMOTE HIMSELF. RE-INSPECTION ON SEPTEMBER 29TH, 2025, REVEALED THAT THE DEMO WAS COMPLETED AND THE LOT WAS CLEANED UP.

MR. HERNANDEZ DID A GREAT JOB RESOLVING THE ISSUE, AND IT DOES.

I THINK THE NEXT SLIDE SHOWS WHAT IT LOOKS LIKE AFTER IT AND THAT WAS MUCH NEEDED.

BUT HE HE DID WHAT HE SAID HE WOULD AND GOT IT TAKEN CARE OF.

AND NOW THE $64,000 QUESTION IS WHAT'S THAT WORTH.

YEAH, I DON'T KNOW I DON'T KNOW. IT'S KIND OF A DEAD END ROAD, BUT IT'S A TIGHT IT'S A TIGHT ENTRANCE TO THAT PROPERTY.

BUT SURE, I KNOW THE NEIGHBORS HAVE TO APPRECIATE THAT, THAT ALL THAT'S CLEANED UP NOW AND IT SHOULD BE EASY TO MOW AND KEEP DOWN.

NOW HE GOT IT CLEANED UP ENOUGH. HE COULD DO THAT.

SO WE'RE GRATEFUL THAT HE TOOK CARE OF THAT. THANK YOU SIR.

OKAY. ON THE 705 AT THE AT THE WALNUT STREET DOCK INCLUDED IN THE HANDOUT NUMBER ONE, THE INITIAL LETTER THAT WAS MAILED ON JUNE THE 24TH, 2025, ADVISING THAT THE THE HOUSE OR THE STRUCTURE WAS SUBSTANDARD AND THAT SOMETHING NEEDED TO BE DONE WITH IT, OR WE WOULD BRING BEFORE THE BUILDING STANDARDS COMMISSION.

EXHIBIT TWO THE WISE COUNTY TAX ASSESSOR TAX CERTIFICATE WAS OBTAINED ON NOVEMBER THE 7TH,

[00:05:02]

2025. EXHIBIT THREE OWNERSHIP AND INCUMBENTS.

REPORT PROVIDED BY THE WISE COUNTY TITLE COMPANY.

NOVEMBER THE 14TH, 2025. EXHIBIT FOUR NOTICE OF INTENT TO BRING THE CASE BEFORE THE BUILDING STANDARDS COMMISSION ON NOVEMBER 17TH, 2025, AND EXHIBIT FIVE PUBLIC HEARING NOTICES VIA CERTIFIED AND REGULAR MAIL TO THE OWNER, POSTED THEM ON THE PROPERTY ON OCTOBER THE 30TH, 2025 NOTICE.

PUBLIC HEARING WAS PUBLISHED IN WISE COUNTY MESSENGER ON NOVEMBER 6TH, 2025, AND ALSO CALLED THE PROPERTY OWNER AND LET HER KNOW THAT WE TO BE EXPECTING THIS, THAT WE WERE GOING TO BRING HER BEFORE THE BUILDING STANDARDS COMMISSION, TRY TO GET A RESOLUTION TO THIS.

EXHIBIT SIX IS DETAILED TIMELINE FROM THE CASE NOTES.

AND THEN EXHIBIT SEVEN'S GOT THE PICTURES OF THE PROPERTY ON SEVERAL OF THE SLIDES THERE.

IF YOU LOOK AT, I THINK IT'S MAYBE THE NEXT SLIDE, YOU CAN SEE ONE OF THE BIG HOLES IN THE ROOF.

THERE'S TWO THAT I CAN TELL FOR SURE. I'M SURE SOME OF THE REST OF IT'S LEAKING, BUT THERE'S TWO HUGE HOLES IN THE ROOF WHERE IT'S JUST RUNNING INSIDE.

SO, YOU KNOW, MORE THAN LIKELY THERE'S PROBABLY LOTS OF DAMAGE INSIDE THERE AT THIS TIME.

THEY'RE JUST USING THESE THESE FOR STORAGE AND THAT'S WHAT IT'S CONSIDERED TOO.

SOME OTHER ISSUES THAT WE'VE HAD WITH THIS IS THE BEING LEAVING THEM UNSECURED SOMETIMES SOME OF THEM ARE UNSECURED.

EXCUSE ME. YOU CAN TELL BY THE WINDOWS AND STUFF THAT THEY'RE THEY'VE BEEN BOARDED UP FOR A LONG TIME.

THEY YOU CAN TELL THAT THEY'RE ALL DILAPIDATED AND FALLING DOWN. SO IT'S STRUCTURED IN REALLY BAD SHAPE.

WE'VE TALKED DISCUSSED WITH HER ABOUT MAYBE EITHER FIXING IT UP OR BRINGING IT TO YOU OR HER.

TAKING CARE OF THE DEMO HERSELF GAVE HER PLENTY OF TIME TO TAKE CARE OF THAT.

WE NEVER HEARD BACK, AND THAT'S WHY I CALLED TO DISCUSS THIS WITH HER.

BUT. RICKY, COULD YOU MAKE IT CLEAR WHEN YOU SAY HER AND SPEAKING TO THE PROPERTY OWNER? WHO IS THAT? THAT IS LINDA HURLEY. LINDA HURLEY.

OKAY. THANK YOU. WITH HURLEY INVESTMENTS. I WANT TO PROVIDE AN OPPORTUNITY FOR REPRESENTATIVES OF THE PROPERTY TO BE PRESENT TO PRESENT TO THE COMMISSION.

OH, GO AHEAD, SIR, YOU GO FIRST. OKAY. YEAH, BUT JUST KIND OF READING YOUR NOTES HERE, RICK.

IT LOOKS LIKE ON JUNE 24TH, YOU REACHED OUT. IT SEEMS LIKE THAT'S THE LAST TIME YOU SPOKE WITH HER.

SHE SAID TWO WEEKS, HER SON WOULD CALL, AND THEN IT'S JUST KIND OF BEEN RADIO SILENCE SINCE THEN.

SO I TALKED TO HER, AND I DON'T KNOW IF IT'S IN THE NOTES.

AFTER WE HAD MAILED THE LETTERS AND LET HER KNOW THAT WE WERE GOING TO BRING THIS, I'VE CALLED HER TO MAKE SURE THAT SHE WAS AWARE OF HER RIGHT TO BE HERE AND PRESENT THAT.

I'M NOT SURE IF THAT'S IN THE NOTES. MR.. DENNY, I HAVE TWO QUESTIONS.

NUMBER ONE, THAT PROPERTY, 705 WALNUT, ACTUALLY HAS TWO BUILDINGS, RIGHT? ONE OF THE BUILDINGS LOOKS OCCUPIED. I SAW I DROVE BY EARLIER THIS AFTERNOON.

THERE'S A PICKUP TRUCK PARKED OUTSIDE. THERE'S CHRISTMAS DECORATIONS ON ONE OF THE BUILDINGS, BUT THEY BOTH SHARE THE SAME ADDRESS. IF WE TAKE ACTION TODAY, I ASSUME WE'RE JUST TALKING ABOUT THE DILAPIDATED BUILDING THAT WAS IN THE PICTURES.

YES, I BELIEVE THERE'S ACTUALLY FOUR STRUCTURES ON THAT. THERE'S THERE'S THERE'S THREE STRUCTURES.

THERE'S THE HONOR FARM ON THE CORNER THAT ACTUALLY IS A DIFFERENT ADDRESS.

IT'S STILL OWNED BY HURLEY INVESTMENTS, BUT THAT IS A DIFFERENT ADDRESS.

I DON'T KNOW EXACTLY THE ADDRESS, BUT 705 SPECIFICALLY HAS TWO BUILDINGS, ONE THAT LOOKS OCCUPIED AND ONE THAT LOOKS DILAPIDATED.

THE ONE IN THE THE HOUSE THAT SOMEBODY LIVING IN.

NOW, THEY'VE ACTUALLY BEEN TAKING REALLY GOOD CARE OF THAT PROPERTY SINCE THEY MOVED IN. AND IT'S HELPED US A LOT AS FAR AS THE HIGH WEEDS AND GRASS. WE'VE HAD I THINK I'VE GOT A LIST OF IT HERE. JUST SINCE MAY THE 31ST, 2022, I'VE HAD 1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9 HIGH WEEDS AND GRASS CASES OPEN ON THAT PROPERTY JUST FROM NEGLIGENCE. AND I KNOW SHE LIVES OUT OF TOWN.

SHE DON'T GET TO SEE IT TO KNOW WHEN IT DOES, BUT STILL IT'S HER RESPONSIBILITY TO KEEP THAT GRASS MOWED.

SO IT'S BEEN AN ONGOING PROBLEM WITH NEGLIGENCE AND IN THAT AREA.

BUT THE STRUCTURE WE'RE CONCERNED ABOUT IS THE ONE THAT THE OLD APARTMENTS THAT ARE LOCATED ON MAIN STREET.

OKAY. IS THERE ANYTHING WE NEED TO DO TO SPECIFY BETWEEN THOSE TWO PROPERTIES?

[00:10:06]

YES, I WAS JUST THINKING ABOUT THAT. I DON'T KNOW, WE'RE NOT WE WOULDN'T BE IDENTIFYING AN ADDRESS SINCE THEY'RE AT THE SAME ADDRESS. BUT I THINK THAT YOU COULD, FOR THE RECORD DESIGNATE THEM AS A AND B AND CALLED THE STRUCTURE THAT IS A, THE STRUCTURE THAT IT'S IN THAT IS INTACT.

OKAY. AND THEN ISSUE THE ORDER ON B, WHICH IS THE DILAPIDATED STRUCTURE.

AND YOU COULD DECLARE AND DEFINE THAT ONE THAT'S INHABITED AND ONE THAT'S UNINHABITED.

YES. AND JUST TO BE CLEAR, THE B STRUCTURE IS THE ONE THAT ABUTS MAIN STREET.

YES. TO BE CLEAR, FOR THE RECORD, WHAT YOU'RE IDENTIFYING IS B.

CORRECT. YEAH. OKAY. THANK YOU. DO WE HAVE ANY OTHER QUESTIONS? OKAY. MR. DANNY, ONE MORE QUESTION. YOU MENTIONED THAT YOU TALKED TO MRS. HURLEY ON THE PHONE RECENTLY. YEAH, MAYBE IN THE LAST 30 DAYS OR SO.

YES. AND YOU YOU LET HER KNOW THAT YOU WERE BRINGING THIS FORMALLY TO THE BUILDING STANDARDS COMMISSION? YES. OUT OF CURIOSITY, WHAT WAS HER REACTION? SHE JUST SAID OKAY. SHE DIDN'T SAY YOU SHOULD BE PRESENT OR NOT.

SHE JUST SAID OKAY, THAT SHE UNDERSTOOD. AND WHEN WE DID THE NOTIFICATION, WE MADE SURE BY MAIL AND CERTIFIED LETTER, REGULAR LETTER POSTED ON THE PROPERTY. AND THAT'S WHY I WANTED TO CALL HER TO, TO MAKE SURE SHE FULLY UNDERSTOOD HER RIGHT TO BE HERE.

SO YOUR POSTING IS STILL ON THE DOOR? YES, I SAW IT EARLIER.

YEAH. SO TO CLEARLY IDENTIFY BE IT'S THE DILAPIDATED STRUCTURE THAT ABUTS MAIN STREET AND THE OTHER PROPERTY DOES NOT ABUT MAIN STREET, IS THAT CORRECT? OKAY. THANK YOU. SO WE'LL BE TALKING ABOUT PROPERTY NUMBER B OR LETTER B, THE ONE THAT THAT'S ONE THAT WE'RE REALLY CONCERNED ABOUT THAT'S IN REALLY BAD SHAPE. WHAT ARE OUR OPTIONS TODAY.

ALL RIGHT. THE PROCEEDINGS FOR THE BUILDING STANDARDS COMMISSION NOTICE HERE I'M SORRY TO INTERRUPT YOU, RICKY, BUT THAT ADDRESS IS NOT CORRECT ON YOUR MOTION THAT YOU COULD MAKE.

SLIDE. OF COURSE, YOU'LL DESIGNATE THE 705 WEST WALNUT, THE PROPERTY IDENTIFIED AS STRUCTURE B.

OKAY. ALL RIGHT.

I WILL ENTERTAIN A MOTION FOR OPTION TWO.

OKAY. DO YOU WANT TO GO SHAUN? OKAY. AND JUST TO BE CLEAR, OPTION TWO, WE ARE CONFIRMING IF THERE'S A MAJORITY VOTE, THAT WE ARE CONFIRMING THAT THAT BUILDING IS SUBSTANDARD.

YES, SIR. OKAY. IT DOESN'T MEAN IT DOESN'T MEET.

I'LL SECOND MOTION. OPTION TWO. STRUCTURE AT 705 WEST WALNUT.

THAT HAS BEEN IDENTIFIED AS BUILDING B. BUILDING B? YES, MA'AM. OKAY. DO I HAVE A SECOND? SECOND? ALL IN FAVOR? AYE. MOTION PASSES UNANIMOUSLY.

AND THE WAY IT'S WORDED IS TRICKY. YEAH. I'M GOING WITH YOU.

THE PROCEEDINGS OF THE BUILDING STANDARDS COMMISSION. B CRITERIA FOR DETERMINING A SUBSTANDARD STRUCTURE STRUCTURE MAY BE CONSIDERED, AND WE'VE ALREADY DONE THAT. YEAH. WE HAVE SEVERAL OPTIONS.

YEAH. ACTIONS. OKAY. ACTIONS BY THE COMMISSION.

COMMISSION ORDERS AFTER NOTICE OF A HEARING AND UPON FINDING THAT STRUCTURE, SUBSTANDARD COMMISSION MAY ORDER THE REPAIR OF SUBSTANDARD STRUCTURE WITHIN A FIXED PERIOD OF TIME IN TO BELOW SECTION TN-105 TIME FRAMES.

TIMEFRAMES FOR COMPLIANCE. AFTER MAKING A FINDING THAT A BUILDING SUBSTANDARD, THE COMMISSION SHALL COMPLY WITH THE FOLLOWING TIMEFRAMES: A IS 30 DAY TIME PERIOD EXCEPT AS OTHERWISE PROVIDED IN THIS ARTICLE, THE COMMISSION SHALL REQUIRE A HEARING NUMBER ONE.

SECURE THE BUILDING FROM UNAUTHORIZED ENTRY OR NUMBER TWO REPAIR, REMOVE OR DEMOLISH BUILDING UNLESS THE OWNER OR THE OWNER ESTABLISHES AT THE HEARING THAT THE WORK CANNOT BE DONE, CANNOT REASONABLY BE PERFORMED WITHIN THE 30 DAYS, B, 30 TO 90, 30 TO

[00:15:08]

90 DAY TIME PERIOD. IF THE COMMISSION ALLOWS OWNER LIENHOLDER OR MORTGAGEE MORE THAN 30 DAYS TO REPAIR, REMOVE OR DEMOLISH THE BUILDING. THE COMMISSION SHALL ESTABLISH SPECIFIC TIME SCHEDULES FOR THE COMMENCEMENT AND PERFORMANCE OF THE WORK, AND SHALL REQUIRE THE OWNER, LIENHOLDER OR MORTGAGEE, TO SECURE THE PROPERTY IN A REASONABLE MANNER FROM UNAUTHORIZED ENTRY, WHILE THE WORK HAS BEEN PERFORMED AS DETERMINED AT THE HEARING, OR SEE TIME PERIOD IN EXCESS OF 90 DAYS, COMMISSION MAY ALLOW ONLY THE OWNER, LIENHOLDER OR MORTGAGEE MORE THAN 90 DAYS TO REPAIR, REMOVE OR DEMOLISH A BUILDING OR FULLY PERFORM ALL THE WORK REQUIRED TO COMPLY WITH THIS ORDER. IF THE OWNER, LIENHOLDER OR MORTGAGEE NUMBER ONE SUBMITS A DETAILED PLAN A TIME SCHEDULED FOR WORK AT THE HEARING, AND NUMBER TWO ESTABLISHES AT THE HEARING THAT THE WORK CANNOT REASONABLY BE COMPLETED WITHIN 90 DAYS BECAUSE OF THE SCOPE OF COMPLEXITY OF THE WORK, AND NUMBER THREE, REGULARLY SUBMIT PROGRESS REPORTS TO MUNICIPALITY TO DEMONSTRATE COMPLIANCE WITH THE TIME SCHEDULES ESTABLISHED BY THE COMMENCEMENT AND THE PERFORMANCE OF THE WORK. SECTION TEN DASH 105 ACTION BY THE COMMISSION.

THE TIME FRAMES. NUMBER THREE BURDEN OF PROOF.

THE OWNER, LIENHOLDER OR MORTGAGEE, HAS THE BURDEN OF PROOF TO DEMONSTRATE THE SCOPE OF WORK THAT MAY BE REQUIRED TO COMPLY WITH CEDAR CITY ORDINANCES.

AND THE TIME IT WILL TAKE TO REASONABLY PERFORM THE WORK.

OPTION NUMBER ONE. THIS IS FOR Y'ALL HERE. YEAH.

SO JUST TO BE CLEAR, OPTION ONE, IN SIMPLE WORDS, WE'RE POTENTIALLY AUTHORIZING 30 DAYS TO DO REPAIRS OR DEMOLITION.

OPTION TWO IS 30 TO 90 AND OPTION THREE IS 90 PLUS.

AND THE PLUS WE WILL DETERMINE WE COULD DETERMINE AN END DATE JUST TO BE JUST JUST JUST SO IT'S CLEAR IN MY IN MY MIND.

YES. IF YOU DO THAT IN THE THREE THEY WOULD HAVE TO PROVIDE A PROOF OF THEIR THEIR TIMETABLE ACTION PLAN.

RIGHT. AND SINCE THEY DIDN'T SHOW UP RIGHT I THINK THAT OPTION ONE AND TWO ARE THE ONES THAT ARE AFFORDED TO YOU.

OKAY. THANK YOU. ANYTHING ELSE? MR. DENNY, YOU WANT TO PRESENT? NO, SIR. ARE WE OPEN FOR DISCUSSION? WE DID OPEN FOR A PUBLIC HEARING PREVIOUSLY FOR THIS CASE. CORRECT. YOU OPENED AND CLOSED? YES.

OKAY. DO WE HAVE ANY QUESTIONS AMONGST THE BOARD? YEAH. AND I'M I'M SORRY. I THINK AS MUCH AS RICKY'S DONE.

I MEAN, HONESTLY, I'M OPTION ONE, BUT I'M KIND OF OPEN IN.

IN THE PAST, WHEN WE'VE HAD SIMILAR CASES, AT LEAST IN THE YEAR PLUS THAT I'VE BEEN ON THIS COMMISSION, WE'VE GENEROUSLY ALLOWED UP TO 90 DAYS FOR PREVIOUS CASES.

IS THAT CORRECT? I THINK I BELIEVE HAS IT BEEN AND SOME OF THE CASES.

YES. YOU YOU'VE WENT UP TO THE [INAUDIBLE]? YES.

OKAY. SO IS THERE A REPAIR OPTION JUST SECURING OR IS THAT BRINGING IT UP TO.

IT'S GOING TO HAVE TO BE BROUGHT UP STANDARDS. YES OKAY. WHILE IT'S BROUGHT UP TO STANDARD.

AND THAT IS CORRECT. SHE WOULD HAVE TO SECURE IT AND BEGIN REPAIRS.

OKAY. I'M AS GENEROUS AS THE NEXT GUY. I'VE BEEN LOOKING AT THIS THING FOR SIX YEARS.

I'M GOING TO LEAN TOWARD OPTION ONE. IS THAT A MOTION? CAN YOU MAKE THAT A FORMAL MOTION FOR US STANDING? I MAKE A MOTION THAT WE GO WITH OPTION ONE WITHIN 30 DAYS OF NOTIFICATION.

DO WE HAVE A SECOND? I'LL SECOND MOTION. OPTION ONE ON STRUCTURE B.

ALL IN FAVOR. PLEASE SAY AYE. AYE. NONE OPPOSED.

IT PASSES UNANIMOUSLY FOR OPTION ONE. REPAIR OR REMOVE WITHIN 30 DAYS.

THANK YOU. WE'LL MOVE ON TO AGENDA ITEM NUMBER FOUR.

MR. DENNY, CAN I ASK A FOLLOW UP QUESTION? YES.

THAT THE BOARD HAS MADE A DECISION OR THE COMMISSION HAS MADE A DECISION.

I ASSUME YOU'RE GOING TO CALL HER TOMORROW AND LET HER KNOW IN ADDITION TO THE CERTIFIED LETTERS?

[00:20:02]

YES. OKAY. YES. I'LL MAKE THE CLOCK STARTS TOMORROW.

YES. IS THAT FAIR? IT WILL START FROM THE DATE OF NOTIFICATION OF THE NOTIFICATION.

OKAY. WHEN THE NOTIFICATION IS EFFECTED. SO WE'LL SEND WE'LL SEND CERTIFIED MAIL TO HER.

OKAY. WE'LL DO IT THE SAME WAY WITH THE REGULAR LETTER CERTIFIED LETTER POSTING ON THE PROPERTY.

AND I'LL CALL HER AND LET HER KNOW WHAT THE DECISION WAS.

AND IN THE PACKET, WHAT? MR. SHAUN WAS JUST SHOWING ME THAT IF IT'S NOT, YOU KNOW, DEMOLISHED OR REPAIRED WITHIN 30 DAYS, THEN IT'S SOMETHING THE THIS COMMISSION WILL HEAR ABOUT AGAIN AND THEN POSSIBLY TAKE ACTION AT THE CITY'S EXPENSE.

YES, SIR. THEN Y'ALL WOULD GIVE THE ORDER TO.

ANY OTHER QUESTIONS? OKAY, GENTLEMEN. ITEM. AGENDA ITEM NUMBER FOUR TO DISCUSS CURRENT CODE ENFORCEMENT ACTIONS AND

[ITEM 4: Discuss current code enforcement actions and schedules. ]

SCHEDULES. WE STILL AT 302 SOUTH LANE SUBSTANDARD STRUCTURE.

THE PROPERTY OWNER DID COME TO THE OFFICE AND SAID HE WAS GOING TO GO AHEAD AND PULL THE PERMITS AND GET STARTED ON THAT PROJECT.

IT HADN'T BEEN DONE YET. SO I SUSPECT THAT IF IF HE DOESN'T DO THAT IN THE TIME PERIOD BEFORE WE HAVE ANOTHER ONE, WE'LL PROBABLY BRING THAT BEFORE THE COMMISSION TO MAKE A DECISION.

I KNOW WE WILL IN THE NEAR FUTURE IF HE DOESN'T TAKE CARE OF IT.

AND 502 NORTH NEWARK STREET, THE SUBSTANDARD STRUCTURE, IT'S THERE.

I'VE TALKED TO THE PROPERTY OWNER. WE'VE MAILED THE NOTIFICATIONS, HADN'T HEARD ANY RESPONSE BACK AFTER I TALKED TO HER ABOUT IT.

SHE SHE SAID SHE WOULD TRY TO FIND A WAY OF TAKING CARE OF IT.

NEVER HEARD ANYTHING ELSE. SO. AND THAT'S A SMALL LITTLE STRUCTURE.

IT'S REAL OLD. IT'S IN REALLY BAD SHAPE. IT'S A BUT I HADN'T HEARD ANYTHING.

SHE HADN'T MADE ANY ATTEMPT TO TRY TO DO THAT.

SO BE ANOTHER CASE WE'LL PROBABLY BRING IN IN THE NEAR FUTURE.

DO Y'ALL HAVE ANY OTHER QUESTIONS? JUST ON THE 302 SOUTH LANE.

YOU SAID THE GENTLEMAN CAME IN AND CHATTED WITH YOU.

HE DID, AND HE SAID HIS INTENT WAS TO TO GET IT BACK IN GOOD SHAPE AND IN COMPLIANCE.

WHEN? WHEN WAS THAT? WHEN DID HE. WAS IT A WEEK AGO? A MONTH AGO? NO, IT'S BEEN ABOUT A MONTH AGO, A MONTH.

AND HE NEVER CAME BACK TO FINISH ANY OF THE PERMITTING PROCESS OR ANYTHING.

HE JUST LEFT IT THERE. SO AND WE'VE BEEN DEALING WITH A LITTLE BIT ON THAT HOUSE.

WE'VE CAUGHT THEM SEVERAL TIMES WORKING WITHOUT PERMITS ON IT AND THINGS LIKE THAT.

SO IT'S BEEN A IT'S JUST BEEN SITTING THERE FOR A LONG TIME.

IT JUST KEEPS GETTING WORSE. SO IT'S SOMETHING THAT NEEDS TO BE TAKEN CARE OF.

I GUESS. ITEM NUMBER FIVE NEAR FUTURE BUSINESS ITEMS DEPENDING ON NOTICES AND PROPERTY OWNERS ACTIONS.

[ITEM 5: a. A Building Standards Commission Meeting is scheduled for December 15, 2025, at 3:30 PM. b. Depending on notices and property owner actions, additional Public Hearings may be scheduled]

ADDITIONAL PUBLIC HEARINGS MAY NEED TO BE SCHEDULED.

I MESSED UP ON THAT. B ,A SUBSTANDARD OR A BUILDING STANDARDS COMMISSION MEETING IS SCHEDULED FOR DECEMBER THE 15TH, 2025 AT 3:30 P.M.. AND DO YOU EXPECT BOTH OF THOSE TWO FROM ITEM FOUR TO BE ON THERE FOR? I SUSPECT THAT AT LEAST ONE WOULD. IT'S A IF NOT BOTH.

AND THE ACTION THE ACTION THAT WE TOOK ON 705 WALNUT BUILDING B THAT WOULDN'T BE ON THE DECEMBER 15TH MEETING. RIGHT? 30 DAYS WOULDN'T HAVE IT WILL PROBABLY NOT FALL WITHIN THAT 30 DAY DAYS DURING THAT.

IT WILL PROBABLY PUSH THAT ONE TO JANUARY. OKAY.

ANY OTHER QUESTIONS? HEARING NONE. I WILL ADJOURN THE MEETING AT 4:15.

THANK YOU VERY MUCH.
