5:01 am
of millions of millions of dollars. so great job. keep everybody's foot to the ground to hold them account automobile. -- accountable. it's really rewarding to see the kind of impact going on. i'm not just talking about job opportunity or just contract opportunities but the entire collaboration of everybody working out there on the same page moving forward. there are a few people that is always going to say a few negative things. that is life, the reality is looking at the results and at the companies like myself and my family and how it's impacting the community and buildings a confidence and positive flow of things. keep that in mind. i would say take a meeting one day and have it out there in the shipyard at this time of the day. an activity and energy and what's

other item that will be on the calendar but we are really drilling down to budget in april. >> i need to ask if there is a member of the public who will comment on the report of the executive director. were you interested in saying something? the public comment? that's okay. if you want to say public comment, c'mon. i closed it. mr. norman, right. i think you can come up if you are interested in saying something. >> related enough to our money situation, i'm sure. >> i'm sorry i got passed over. but we really do appreciate all the work that you all do up here. like he was saying, because of you and what you
5:05 am
stand for there is a lot of contractors, a lot of consultants and a lot of everybody getting work out there who never had the opportunities that lanar has brought to the table. i'm sure that you are going to have a lot of people saying different things because they don't go to the meetings to find out about the different opportunities that are before them. if you are not there to find out or if you don't receive the flyer or you don't hear word of mouth from the people who have benefited from this program, quite frankly you are going to get passed over. it's not in item. you have to -- intentional. you have to be at the right place and the right time to receive the information. with the flyers, we never had a long program for minority contractors for hiring the enterpriseers. we never had a lot of things. it's because of your efforts that we are able to have an opportunity to realize and
5:06 am
experience the different things like that that we've always asked for over the years and only since you have been sitting down here doing the job that you do and with the developers help, we have been able to realize the experience of being able to get a construction loan to finance our project and do the things that a real contractor which we've all been trying to do for years can do. so i thank you and thank you for giving me the at some point to speak on behalf of enterprise, lanar, this agency and all of you commissioners. thank you and we appreciate all your efforts. thank you. >> thank you. >> okay. next item. city clerk: the next order of business is item 9, commissioners questions and matters? madam chair? >> no commissioner has a question or a matter to bring up. next item,

5:13 am
back of our revised staff report an e-mail from the mayor's office of housing dated march 9 of this year indicated they've can't go forward without proper signatures i'll look forward to the comments until the property owner has had an opportunity to see the process and i'll be more than happy on rebuttal to give the departments position thank you. >> ms. lobe our up. >> i don't have a lot to say this is all public record i have private information i'm not going to share. >> your name, ma'am. >> i'm not going to give my name anyone that wants to stalk
5:14 am
someone could go online i can't give personal information to move this forward i can do it in confidentiality if i could do an closed session meeting and i don't know didn't happen still not going to happen i can't defend myself in public there are things that are happening and putting abatement on this property is holding me back i can't get insurance it's like the less you have the less you have everyone has lawyers except me like a cash checking service the poor people have to pay to get their checks cashes cashed the rich people they get perks for having money in the bank so
5:15 am
this is where i feel i'm at is i'm fortunate that i almost have a house the way you're dealing with that i doesn't i don't have a lawyer or representation and there are things that are happening to make it happen but the mayor's office has problems and mayor's office of housing not the mayor's office i don't know about that though i've tried to contact the mayor himself and they don't respond to my e-mails or phone calls in order to get some help it's not as bad as it sounds things are taking longer than and the abatement is really, really bad because all the companies and insurance companies and the banks they look on line for everything so
5:16 am
every time you do things like that it is harder i have things to share but not on record i can't do it there's reasons i explained to rosemary without off record i'll share off record not think record. >> commissioner walker from our documents here basically, their waiting for a signature from the mayor's office of housing for them to going forward what's happening with that. >> i can't share this information online on the whole world i can share it but not share it with the with whole world can hear it. >> if rosemary can come up for
5:17 am
a rebuttals please. >> so as you can see is from the e-mails from the mayor's office there's another individual on title we need that signature before we go forward that's what is the holding it up and mrs. lobe can't go got p i have a so so many other cases this is a record that's been continued 6 times at this time you don't see any way clear for us to we'll have permission to the appeals board to proceed do with the holding we've give the property owner adequate time to proceed that didn't mean after the order is issued and enforced she can't follow-up with the mayor's office at this stage he know the mayor's office is
5:18 am
understaffed and they can't evaluate with that matter. >> can i ask you the mechanics of having a 1257bd order presents a problem with the mayor's office of housing. >> that's a good question we're more happen to sub donate to meet with that but at this staged they can't moved we'll work with them in a subordination providing we get the documents we've be happy to work with the property owners on that. >> i just had a question so because there's another person on the title was that person or contacted by the mayor's office are they aware of the n o b there's another property owner.
5:19 am
>> the interviews into to the contract information that's on record. >> what the department just the i just said. >> i'm doing everything i can it takes time the department is just very good at 0 following exactly what they think they should be doing without toougs i have proof i'm moving forward not on in signature but the
5:20 am
document i did not realize it was a copy rather than an original i had already contacted legal that people and the other person i'm waiting for a response i can't say anything more i've done everything i can at the moment this is basically it is punishing me for things - it is out of my control at the moment i explained at the beginning there's problems all they do is pay attention to people that want to punish me by fighting the how is it is a catch-22 in my neighborhood anyway so you're just helping the process to punish me rather than assist the mayor's office of housing has problems which i
5:21 am
accidently didn't realize we are trying to make - they can pass it through i brought the document with me and in fact, i'm not sure they needed the document but i did bring it it happened to be a copy i did not realize rather than notaries i did not realize that or have it redone they can punish me all they want but every time they do it makes it harder that's a catch-22 i'm going to turn around and find someone had will help me and you can put everything you wanted i pay i'm a taxpayer i'm the one that pays those people's salaries to punish me so i don't need to share high personal information for the whole world to know about so
5:22 am
expressing every thing that is happening in my life is not necessary moderating. >> thank you mrs. lobe. >> commissioner did you want to make a motion. >> mrs. lobe how long in your mind would a continuance need to be for you to get your side in place? >> there's letters i stopped doing e-mails and i made certified letters i put another certified letter in yesterday i believe the person maybe out of the country if in their not ronald's i have no idea it is possible that - because the
5:23 am
other person is acquit responsible and really doesn't hold anything against me like that but could you been out of the country likely i don't know and it would be embarrassing without kg people i'd rather than find out family affairs are messy like i said i don't think that if the person was aware of the situation that the person would not - the person would do it, it's not a big deal it was done a long time ago and i contacted the lawyers that originally did the document and the lawyers i have the e-mail from the lawyer saying that she's stressed the document and said she didn't remember the case but shredded everything too
5:24 am
much information. >> thank you. >> thank you. >> does someone want to make a motion. >> is there room for public comment or do we have to have - >> do you want to make a motion commissioner. >> first, i'd like to is that things come before us and not being movement towards resolving it we have in this case given a lot of leeway and tried to provide every opportunity even through the mayor's office of housing i hear that it is overwhelming i'm hopefully as i
5:25 am
make the motion it allows for surveillance by i move to uphold the order of abatement and provided 60 days to get the permits and allow for the work to be done and ask that maybe our code enforcement people who might have please sit. >> yeah. mrs. lobe. >> thank you. >> that we try and get counseling from our code enforcement group they're well versed at trying to address some of the situations as we do it so uphold the order of abatement hold in abeyance for 60 days
5:26 am
we have a second. >> second. >> okay take a roll call vote. >> commissioner melgar commissioner mccarthy commissioner mar commissioner mccray and commissioner walker. >> okay. the order of abatement is held so we'll go to the next case case no. 67991 2 35 z samson street. >> good morning. >> for the department the address 1, 2, 35 v samson street a vacant lot the violation is u.s. bancorp stabilize hillside
5:27 am
now the abatement was issued november 6th of 2012 we're not showing a permit that deals with the violation and staff recommends to uphold the order of abatement and that that concludes my report. >> thank you. is there representative for the owner? come on up please. >> yes. i'm eric woods i'm the owner of record for 1235 sanderson street i apologize for putting everyone through so much trouble i had we have just currently started a soils report that covers 7 of the properties between sanderson, union and
5:28 am
alta so union street it's the entire vacant i'll call it a hill some people call it a cliff problem with it taking time has been that there are 6 property owners involved in the forest now and possibly wrongly but i felt inspector matthewer at the building inspection felt that to take on soils report piecemeal was one it is inefficient not getting the information you need but frankly in my opinion it leads to quarrels between the property owners how shall i put
5:29 am
it with who's loss rock belongs to who we're going forward on this basis i've done what i could to get the adjacent commercial building owners appraised of what we're doing the problem being that over the years the slides on union street are controversial they've come into the newspapers and now engineers out there with ropes and orange hats and people wondering what we're up to so i'm sorry, i didn't pickup on the fact i was supposed to prepare 20 copies or so but hopefully, you've got the proposal that is the one they're doing they started last week and they've frankly the very
5:30 am
last page it was actually not part of it the front of the proposal indicates which properties we're talking about and there's actually, one more included under a separate contract that is one of the i'm sorry 202 union street and so that brings us to the 5 owners and the 7 properties engineers will meet with us when we're done with it. >> commissioner walker. >> yes. thanks for coming in what is your assessment that the time is needed to go through the process and come to some sort of solution to the notice of violation. >> the engineers report
