e e Minutes, Public Hearing and Regular Meeting La Porte city council July 22, 1991, Page 3 The Mayor called for further public input. There was none. Councilperson Gay recommended that Mr. Lee's property be pulled from the list and 30 to 60 days be given in order to give enough time for the sale to be completed, if it was permissible from the Council. councilperson Skelton stated he had a problem with pulling it without knowing that it would be repaired and fixed up. For example, one house on Nugent has been extended several times, and has still not been completed. In his experience, very few of the ones extended in the past 11 years has ever been carried out. Councilperson McLaughlin stated that he has known Allan Lee for 40 years, and that when he says he will do something, he'll do it, and he has no problem with it. Councilperson Clarke stated that he does not know Mr. Lee, but he does know Mrs. Bertram, and that if she says she'll fix it up, she'll fix it up. councilperson Cooper asked Mark Lewis if the house is repairable. He replied that in his opinion, it was not salvageable. After an explanation by Mr. Lee as to what work would be done, it was recommended that a completion deadline be set for October 1, and that the building must meet all standard City codes. There being no further comments, the public hearing was closed. In order to expedite the passage of the demolition ordinances, the City Attorney recommended that a motion be made to pull and table items 11 and 17 and that he would encompass the rest of the ordinances so they could be passed as a consent agenda.
