SECTION 4. If, within thirty (30) days from the date of this ordinance, any such
building listed in this Section has not been demolished, as appropriate, it shall be
demolished and removed at the expense of the City by the City or its contractor, and
the net cost for demolition or removal shall be charged to the owners of the property
and assessed on the land on which the building stood.
The fact that the demolition of dangerous buildings is being delayed pending the
taking effect of this ordinance created an emergency for the immediate preservation of
the public business place, property, health, safety and general welfare of the public
which requires that this ordinance shall become effective from and after the date of its
passage and is accordingly so ordained.
SECTION 5. It is hereby officially found and determined that the meeting at
which this ordinance was passed was open to the public as required by law.
PASSED AND APPROVED this the 6" day of April, 1999.

Item No. 2
3560 Wellington Lane
Michael Johnston, Attorney representing Columbia Lloyds Insurance Company,
307 W. 7th, Suite 825, Ft. Worth, requested a ninety (90) day extension to allow for a
foreclosure, a sale and a renovation process. This will allow the new owners, Mr. &
Mrs. Villareal, an opportunity to own and renovate the property. They were allowed 120
days for the foreclosure procedure and for Mr. Villareal to obtain a building permit. Mr.
King informed that once title is transferred to the new owner, he will need to present
plans and specifications to him and obtain a building permit which is valid for six months.
If no repairs are done and the permit is canceled demolition will take place, but if repairs
are evident and work in progress is satisfactory the permit will become valid for twelve
months.
Item 3
515 Stesco
Lonnie Morrison, 807 8th St., Attorney representing Capital Ventures, owners of
the property located at 515 Stesco, requested a ninety day extension to begin the
reconstruction process. If the current negotiations do not result in action within the
ninety day period, it will be demolished. Capital Ventures is to secure the building
within thirty days so that it is not a safety and health hazard to the adjacent properties
and if that is not done within those thirty days it will be demolished. Within sixty days
after the first thirty days, they are to proceed with the normal rehabilitation or demolition.
Capital Ventures is to apply for a partial and safeing demolition permit within these thirty
days. That permit at the end of thirty days is voided.
