There's been a lot of trying to sell it by multiple people.

There's been three or four different people called me up and said they were buying it, paid cash for it, but it's never withdrew.

So I'm not going to do that.

Well, they want they want to foreclose it before we condemn it.

They're wanting because they're wanting to the bank is wanting to re restore it.

Well, as you know, I've gotten more than three or four calls on that house.

So no, that they don't need they want to they're wanting to foreclose on it, get it back and then make the repairs to the house and reset it.

It could be a nice house.

It could be a nice house.

The owner is from somewhere in North Carolina.

Um like I said, he's I was told today that there's possibility he may have to mention or something because he's tried to sell it for different people at the same time.

I had a wholesaler try to sell it to me.

I walked well.

Yeah, it's a bunch of work, but I mean it is salvageable.

Yeah.

So I mean, like I said, the logger is supposed to be here.

I'm sorry.

I'm sorry, Virgil.

5244 over Brook Road.

Well, where did you hit the first circle and hit over Brook Road?

How far after that first circle?

About maybe halfway down on the left, it's up on the hill.

Okay.

So there's another one.

Exact same house.

It's the green model look great.

Yeah.

So isn't there another house?

I've gotten phone calls on the code.

There's another one down the street that we've been dealing with as well.

Yeah.

Different owner.

Yes.

So I said the log is supposed to be here to represent for the bank.

Mr.

Bell, what do you want to do?

I want to let the bank have it.

If they'll fix it up.

I mean, that that won't cost us anything.

Just a just, I mean, I don't know.

We'll have to have, I mean, I guess they'll have to tell you how long the foreclosure proceeds.

Well, yeah, I mean, we need to give them I guess it would probably take 90 days, and I don't have a problem with that.

Well, it's been there a long time.

Yeah.

But they'll have a right in their mortgage to secure it and protect their investment, even before foreclosure.

All right, so the second one we got is 17 record.

Uh the gentleman is going to be here tonight.

He has pulled a permit, but has done no work to this house.

Um today.

So I cleaned up some of the bushes.

Right, probably.

Uh you can see there's some structural failures, a lot of a lot of issues going on with this house.

Uh on our radar for quite some time.

We tried to get it into property maintenance and new courts.

Never could get the person to serve there's nobody's living.

Actually, the gentleman that's going to be here, I think does live in it.

Um say it's condemned, no.

Does it have power and water?

It does have power and water, yes.

Um until y'all deem it uh condemned, they can still live there because we've just posted it for condemnation.

How long's it been going on?

Uh well I'll posted them on April the 2nd.

Uh, but this house has been on our radar for five to six years.

And it's we cleaned up some of the other houses on that street.

Yeah, and nothing's been done.

Like I said, we we sent them paperwork, tried to get the owner served.

I think if I'm not mistaken, the person that's here is the son of the legal owner.

And the son is the son of who's living in there.

Stephen Gray.

The the son.

The son is live.

I think it's the son.

I'm that's what I'm saying, because it's uh Deborah, I think the last name is the owner's name of record.

So I mean, like I said, he has pulled the term here but have done no work.

He's supposed to be here tonight to lead his case.

Uh I have no problem with giving him 90 days.

If y'all see fit, I wouldn't go any further than that.

I want to hear from them, but we've been dealing with it for five or six years.

He hadn't done anything.

I mean, and I don't know how much you can do with that, to be honest.

He always has a right to appeal, but if it doesn't have any money, it can fix it.

That's all I have to do.

Thank you, Virgil.

Thank you.

Thank you.

Have two rezoning requests.

The first one is 7150 Commerce Drive.

This is for Mr.

Kate.

So this is our old warehouse that we sold.

Um, so it's currently zoned IP institutional public.

And so he's of course rezoning it outside of IP now that it's been sold.

Um but he had an old way house location.

Um you're probably familiar with currently IP.

He wants to rezone it to IG.

Um sorry, IH industrial heavy.

And of course, framework identifies this area as industrial, so it does conform to the plan.

He didn't intend, he didn't specify any intended use, uh, what he was planning to use the property for at the time, but um but he does need to redesign it outside of IP.

So you can see that on featured in his character map, it's identified as industrial, and it was unanimously recognized for then our second rezoning request is down 69 south.

So this is in this is a piece of property at 704 Page Parkway so on the corner of Patrick Parkway 69 um south, and uh it's not in city limits today, so they're annexing into the city limits, but of course we go through the pre-zoning process.

So this is that location.

Um so you can see on the corner of highway 69.

This is very close to the new Walmart.

Publix is just down south as well.

Um, currently outside of city limits, surrounded by HC property.

That's what they're requesting to rezone to for commercial development.

Um, it does conform framework, intended uses as well as the intended um zoning request, uh conforms to framework as you can see on the few Jillian spoken map and ledging names the recommended for approval by Planning Commission.

Do we know what's going there?

So we don't know specific users at this time, but I believe there's a coffee shop, uh um oil changing type fast food restaurant as well.

So chicken fingers, probably probably no Mexican restaurant.

That's if the chicken fangs out of the park.

Yeah, it'll be about four or five different lots within that development.

So I don't have anything.

Any questions for you?

Thank you.

Like real quick, I'm still channeling my inner Busby here.

On page 32, the uh the purchasing department request.

Did we get an explanation of what that is?

It's just kind of weird to approve it, but we don't even know what it is.

Sure.

Sure.

I we went over this last week of that.

It doesn't come to committee because it's budgeted and it comes to purchasing, but yeah, so um I'll probably I'm gonna do a quick introduction, and I think that Jason has the details on it, but as far as air airport security improvements, there was actually an item, same general scenario for um security upgrades at the airport that came through last week that were that was a smaller dollar amount.

Um, but this is previously budgeted in the um airport development fund.

Um then if you want to go over details about what the purchases these are for um access control upgrades at the airport.

We've been moving through the last year and a half and hold all city facilities, and as part of that the airport were upgrading uh most of their gates as well as cameras and gates and some other things like that that's being funded out of there, and so uh, but we're doing the work in-house, which is why they're coming through as purchasing of items because we're doing the actual work versus your typical uh contractor project that would come before you'd just be helpful like in the future if we can just get like an explanation, which is for proving something just so we know what it is.

So you know, generally, um so for example on the Tusclosa tennis center item that has been previously discussed by council, it is part of the tennis center overall project, and so that's an item off that's on for purchasing also because it is being paid for the tourism capital fund.

Um but if what you I mean, we can either bring these to committee again to discuss them.

Um I'm just saying if we're buying a car, can we put a car?

If we're buying a table, can we put a table?

I'm not saying we gotta get into it in committee.

No, we can we're just approving some out of we can assess them and try to figure out the best way to internally.

My thought is maybe just some sort of memo that we hand out.

So the register once we'll we'll we'll we'll discuss it internally.

We'll come up with something.

Okay, thank you.

All right, project 230 finance three public safety is 330, and then at five.

Uh we have a fire employees pension board meeting Monday, August 10th.

And any other items anybody have anything you'd like to move for?

Yep, in the whole HR lobby.

Sorry.
