Following the close of the hearing, Council will be asked to <br />consider condemnation of each structure that does not have a signed Voluntary Consent to Demolish form. Of the <br />nine structures before Council, staff has secured (5) voluntary consents which leaves (4) locations for Council <br />consideration. <br /> <br />On July 14th, a contractor obtained a repair permit for 704 S. Holmes Street and started repairs. Staff recommends <br />tabling this structure for 60- days to ensure follow-thru and completion by the owners. <br /> <br />On 401 N. 6th Street, a family member is currently working on transferring the ownership from her parents name to <br />her name. Once the transfer is complete, she plans to apply to Harris County for a home repair loan. We suggest <br />this structure be tabled for 6O-days to see if that individual is able to complete the two processes. <br /> <br />The Board recommends passage of tbe condemnation ordinances on 201 Garfield Street and 207 East "A" <br />Street and tabling of 704 S. Holmes & 401 N. 6th. <br /> <br />The Finance Department confirmed $71,950 in available demolition funds. <br /> <br /> <br />fJ /'/oL <br /> <br />Date <br />
