[00:10:03]
AND THAT'S THE REGULAR STRUCTURES? THAT'S IT.IT HAS BEEN DETERMINED THAT EACH OF THE STRUCTURES LISTED ABOVE MEETS THE DEFINITION OF A DANGEROUS STRUCTURE AND HAS BEEN, AND HAS BEEN DETERIORATED TO A POINT THAT IS NO LONGER CONSIDERED SUITABLE FOR OR REPAIR.
IT IS THEREFORE REQUESTED THAT THE CONSTRUCTION BOARD WAS JUST FOR APPEALS, DECLARE THESE TO BE DANGEROUS STRUCTURES AND ORDER THE OWNERS TO RAISE SAID STRUCTURES WITHIN 30 DAYS.
UM, WE DID HEAR FROM ONE 20 AT 10
SO WITH THE EXCEPTION OF THAT, I THINK MAYBE WE CAN ACT ON THE OTHER 12 STRUCTURES THAT, THAT WERE, THAT WERE READ IN.
AND SO, UH, WITH THAT SAID, WHY DON'T YOU MOTION IN, OKAY.
I'LL MAKE A MOTION FOR THE, THE 12 STRUCTURES THAT WERE READ IN, UH, THAT WE GO AHEAD AND CONDEMN THESE PROPERTIES AND HAVE A, A RAISE AUDIT ISSUED TO EACH ONE OF THE OWNERS FOR 30 DAYS TO RAISE, TO RAISE THE STRUCTURES.
AND IF NOT, THEN THE CITY WILL HAVE AUTHORIZATION AFTER 30 DAYS TO GO AHEAD AND DEMOLISH THESE STRUCTURES.
SHALL I GET A SECOND? SECOND? IS IT PROPERLY MOVED IN SECOND.

I BELIEVE THAT HE SAID THAT HE WANTED TO, UH, REPAIR, HE WANTED TO REPAIR IT, AND MR. HATCH ASKED THEM, UH, THE TIME THAT HE WAS LOOKING AT AND HE SAID, UH, 90 DAYS.
60 TO 90 DAYS THAT HE COULD DO IT.
WELL, IF WE COULD DISCUSS A LITTLE BIT, BE, UH, MY CONCERNS WOULD BE THAT HE'S, HE'S LEASING IT OR RENTING THE PROPERTY NOW.
AND THE DANGER IN HAVING THAT TYPE OF FACILITY, I MEAN, THE CONDITION OF THAT GARAGE ON THE PROPERTY AT THE SAME TIME, I, I THINK IT NEEDS TO BE ADDRESSED IMMEDIATELY.
SOMEONE COULD GET HURT AND, AND, AND, AND IN THE LONG RUN OF IT, UH, A BIG SCHEME OF THINGS, WE COULD BE HELD RESPONSIBLE.
WELL THAT'S KIND OF STRETCHING IT TO ME, BUT WHAT IS YOUR CONCERNS? IS THAT WHAT, UH, HE NEEDS TO ADDRESS IT IMMEDIATELY.
AND WHEN DID THE FIRE ACTUALLY HAPPEN? HE CALLED IN JANUARY STATING THAT HE DID HAVE INSURANCE.
SO, UH, I DIDN'T GET WHEN THE FIRE INITIALLY STARTED, BUT I DO KNOW THAT WAS THE FIRST INITIAL CALL THAT I TOOK FROM HIM.
SO IT HASN'T BEEN PREVIOUSLY, THAT'S MY CONCERN.
JANUARY AND WE'RE, WE'RE IN JULY NOW.
UH, AND HE STATES THAT HE'S STILL WAITING FOR THE INSURANCE.
COME IN HIS CLAIM, HIS CLAIM TO BE SETTLED ACCORDING TO THIS.
UH, I'M, I'M IN AGREEMENT WITH, UH, MR. HATCH THAT WE GO AHEAD AND GIVE HIM AN OPPORTUNITY TO TRY TO REPAIR IT.
UM, AND WE CAN GIVE HIM, WE CAN ISSUE A RAISE OR REPAIR AUDIT AND IF HE FAILS TO, UM, DO THAT WITHIN A TIMELY FASHION THAT WE DECIDE ON, THEN THE CITY WILL HAVE THE AUTHORIZATION AT THAT POINT TO GO AHEAD AND, AND DEMO THE, THE, UH, STRUCTURE.
IS THAT A MOTION? AND I GO AHEAD AND MAKE A MOTION THAT WE ISSUE A RAISE OR REPAIR FOR 90 DAYS, UH, FOR THE OWNER TO, UH, RAISE TO EITHER FIX IT AND IF HE'S DOES, DOESN'T FIX IT WITHIN THOSE 90 DAYS, UM, THEN THE CITY WILL HAVE AUTHORIZATION AFTERWARDS TO GO AHEAD AND DEMOLISH IT.
