was continued until all desiring to be heard were given full fair opportunity to be heard
and the City Council of the City of Wichita Falls, having fully considered all property
matters, is of the opinion that the said hearing should be closed; and,
WHEREAS, the City Council finds that the photographs and other evidence
presented at the hearing and in the List of Structures to be Repaired and List of

2. From the evidence presented in the aforementioned Public Hearing by property
owners appearing and the Code Enforcement Division for the City of Wichita Falls, the
buildings and/or structures at the locations listed in the attached List of Structures to be
Demolished, with the corresponding property owners, are found to be dangerous
buildings which cannot be repaired as defined in said Article VIII of Chapter 22 of the
Code of Ordinances of the City of Wichita Falls, and the property owners listed therein

the City of Wichita Falls are hereby commanded to demolish the buildings and/or
structures in accordance with the State of Particulars set forth in the Code Enforcement
Division's notice. The property owners listed on the attached List of Structures to be
