4. Mayor Armstrong stated that under citizen input we have one
scheduled, Dr. Obaldo. She noted Dr. Obaldo is having some
problems with his building on the corner of the old Smith
Building and if you'd like to come and share anything you'd
like to share at this time. Mayor Armstrong, "Just come to
the podium please and state your name please Dr. Obaldo, for
our recorder so we'll have it.
"The name is Bing Obaldo and I'm a new investor in this area
and to be frank, this is my very first investment outside of
my home and I'm so eager, anxious to try my best to make
it succeed and I'm coming in with the intention of trying to
fulfill what_I'feel-is the need -in the community -,-`office spaces,
and to include helping recruit professionals and including
most likely physicians and basically we started with this
project not knowing alot, again, I'm very new in this game and
wanted to do it as best as possible. Produce the best product
as possible with the least money because again I believe that
is the name of the game. I first started approaching this
project by contacting a few friends that I though were
knowledgeable in this business and the first person that I
came across was not the right person I have to admit that.
We had approached Mr. Shutt and Mr. Brown right at the
beginning to see what requirements the city would like us to
fulfill right at the beginning. They first asked for a blue-
print of the building, again, because of lack of experience,
I approached an architect in Denton, they told me it.would
take at least two months to produce a proper blueprint and then
I approached Mr. Shutt and Mr. Brown, can we produce less .
form of type of blueprints and the answer was yes and again
we proceeded with this project, I wind up with Mr. Hillary
as the contractor with this project and he was able to
produce blueprint that was satisfactory to Mr. Brown and
Mr. Shutt. I proceeded with this project with the help of
Mr. Hillary who is here with us tonight and we hired a difference
of contractors to make the story short. I have aproblem
with one of the sub -contractors was the differer^e c-F agree-
ment and we leave it as such. The guy that is here with us
also tonight is an electrician, Mr. Lance Pence. He took
over the sub -contracting job.as far as the previous electrician
that was vacated. I brought here with me tonight to share
what we feel are difficulties again to be specific I feel
the events that came about last week probably will give you
a good idea what's happening with this particular project.
Tuesday, there was a red tag on the building, the wav I
understand a red tag on the building is shut down or the
project is shut down. Partly, the red tag was placed
around 10 o'clock or so Tuesday, last week. The tag
was seen by my contractor, he took it and come to the city
hall to try to investigate what the nature of the red
tag was. The specific charge that was listed on the red tag,
lack of cooperation, which is not that is specific so we
don`t know by what we have violated. Mr. Hillary related to
me I believe we confirmed this that he came to the city hall
right away. Nobody could see him that morning, he was given
an appointment, come back about 2:30, Tuesday, last week.
Mr. Brown was not here, he come back again about 3:15 or so,
he saw Mr. Brown and Mr. Shutt talking and not interrupting
their conversation. He requested to see Mr. Brown and he
was told that Mr. Brown was too busy to see him that day, and
so, he barged into the office to try to find out what's
wrong, what's the red tag is that's on the building. That's
all that I can tell you about that particular day. The
next day which was Wednesday, last week, I got the call
from Mr. Brown telling me that there is another problem
something going on in the building that he wanted to warn me
about as a courtesy that I should be made aware and so I tried
to find out what the problems are that he was referring to,
again the main point that I could hear from him was lack of
cooperation. It's difficult to fulfill a specific require-
301.
ments of the city if we could know the specific violations and
so I called the contractor that is the contractor to find out
more detail and I told him to come here and try to resolve this
problem. There appears to be difficulty resolveing it teat same
instant in the norning so there was again an appointment to see
Mr. Brown at one (1).and they even invited me to come to
help resolve cause there is big money involved unless
I'll be there and resolve this problem., put up money
in advance the project will probably be shut down.
-- and so I say Mr. Hillary can represent me and be willing
to put up money if that's what the requirements will be to
keep going with this project and I emphasized to Mr. Brown
that same day that he called that the project has to go on.
If it entails finding new poeple to get the cooperation that
you require I'll do it basically that's what I told Mr. Brown.
Anyway, they came back at 1 o'clock Wednesday last week
that was the appointed time to see Mr. Brown. Mr. Brown was
not available. Mr. Hillary, the contractor, came back
later on that afternoon and tried to resolve it with
Mr. Brown what the other requirements need to be done and
apparently things were resolved with Mr. Brown and my
contractor and there was supposed to be some power to be
restored to the building so they could work on the elevator
the next day which was Thursday in the morning. Again,
Mr. Brown mentioned to me was lack of cooperation. The
next day, I concluded that there was no cooperation. The
next day, Mr. Brown was not there. The next dav, Thursday,
the whole morning we were panicking that there is no electricity
to be installed in the building. I place the call, somebodv to
return the call, Mr. Shutt, Mr. Day, Mr. Brown. I didn't get
a returned call until about 3 o'clock in the afternoon
from Mr. Brown when he came back from the trip he made
apparently outside of Sanger, so the reason I'm here is because
there seems to be conflicting versions of who is not producing
- the cooperation. We are here to cooperate, I would like to
find out what this council thinks of what the requirements
that need to be fulfilled. I'm here to find that out and
if you could help me to find these requirements out, it,
specifically this requirement that I heard from Mr. Brown
and Mr. Day that I have to come up with`a big amount of
money before a part can be ordered that will allow us to
operate the elevator. Again, I'd be very appreciative if you
can enlighten us, the electrician, that I have and the
contractor that I have, they feel that we are operating as
much as we could but the rules of the game seem to be changing
and I hope we can resolve this tonight. Thank You."
Mayor Armstrong: "Before you leave, Dr. Obaldo, if you will just
a moment remain -- Does anyone have any questions they would
Like to ask of him?"
Jerry Jenkins: "I would like to ask, what the money in
advance -- the dollar and the cent amount that you are
talking about and for what item is he required CO pay this
money in advance for, this part, for the elevator?"
Stan Day: "Well, it's for -the overhead. construction part
of it and the metering for the power. There's been so many
changes and because of different contractors, electric
contractors, that we never had been able to find out the right
voltage that we needed to provide, for one. And, everytime I get
ready to order something it changes sc that's the reason."
Jerry Jenkins: Who changes it?"
Stan Day: "The electrical contractor."
Steve Shutt: "What they want to do -- changes."
Jenkins: "The electrical contractor cY?.anges the, that
particular item, that creates the problem of not being
able to order that particular part that you need."
Day:"Right."
302.
Jenkins: "What dollar amount are we talking about, approximate
amount?"
Dave Hillary: "May I inject something? --- We've only
changed electrical contractors one time and that was only
stated, the part that we needed was only stated one time
and that's the only time that it changed and it changed
because we changed electrical contractors and it hasn't been
a series of things:" -
Day: "That was my problem. I never could find out what kind of
voltage that we needed there. It was not solved until
Wednesday of last week."
Jenkins: "But it has been resolved."
Day: "Right".
Jenkins: "You concurred."
Shutt: "What's the amount of money?"
Jenkins: "The amount of dollars is
Shutt: "Jerry, my problem with ordering that part is if there's
going to be a change in when we get that order in and we
get stuck with that, that's why we try to have the money
in hand."
Mayor Armstrong: "That's what I was going to say, Dr. Obaldo,
anytime we have to order, special things like that we do
require that it be paid in advance and I think you can
appreciate why because the city could get left holding
the bag."
Jenkins: "Is there any reason why the city needs to order
that part,'couldn't the electrical contractor order
that specific part?"
Dr. Obaldo: "No, we didn't order it."
Jenkins: "Beg your pardon?"
Dr. Obaldo: We didn't order it, that part, the wav T
understand it's something like a change adding a �ransfarmer
on the pole so the power can get to the building."
Jenkins: "Talking about padmount?"
Day: No, these c�re pole rack. transformers.-_You.have to build
a special rack for them. You can't just put them on a small
rack - on a single pole."
Mayor Armstrong: Particular for an elevator, correct?"
Day: "Well, s for the whole building really; for the whole
structure."
Mayor Armstrong: "Okay, so that problem has been resolved."
Day: "Right, that was resolved last Wednesday, was that
right, Dave?"
Dave: "Yes."
Shutt: "How was it resolved?"
Day: "I met with Dave and Lance Spence, and..."
Shutt: "Have the parts been ordered?"
3Q3.
Day: "No, I haven't ordered them yet."
Shutt: "Are they to be ordered when t:he money is put up
or is the money going to be put up?"
Day:- "Right, we've already got price quotes on all the
material."
Mayor Armstrong: "Okay, so at this point in time we will
order the part as soon as the money i�; put up?"
Day: "Right."
Dave: I have one question. I don't: really understand why we
should pay for power to come to the building as long as
any other city I've ever been in in my life the electrical
company supplied the power to the building at their expense.
I am questioning why we should have to fund that."
Day:- "A certain amount of it they do, a certain amount of that
expense they go at their cost."
Mayor Armstrong: "I really can't answer that question other
than to say any time that we have a developer come in,
usually if there are additional costs or unusual type costs,
yes, the developer has to bear the burden of those, I believe
I'm correct in that."
Danny Spindle: "Are we talking about an extra large?"
Day: "Right, an extra large commercial transformer."
Spindle: "Are we talking about something along the lines of_
what we've had in the past, Ican't know if we have since
you've been here, but like North Texas Plastics, Ampco,
where they have the demand, there as a. matter of fact, at th.a-t
time we made them pay for an extra tra.nsformer."
Day: "Right."
Spindle: "For us to have on hand."
Day: "This wasn't, even for the extra. transformer wasn't even
included in on.this price. That extra. backup transformer
was- going to be at our expense."
Mayor Armstrong: "Is this price you're quoting to us, I thought
you were talking about that it was for a rack."
Day: "Right, it's for a transformer rack and all the bus -work
to hit the building."
Mayor Armstrong: "But the transformer, is it an unusually large
transformer that we don't use normally?"
Day_: "That's three of them, not just one."
Mayor Armstrong: "Anybody else have a question they would
like to ask?"�
Carolyn Adkins: "Wasn't there another problem in the electrical
work why it was red tagged or was that: the red tag due to the
fact that you needed a transformer?" _
Richard Brown: "No mam, it was red tagged for something
other than the electrical. We have, t:he Police Department,
myself,- and the fire marshall, all three has talked to Dave,
at least Dave I know for sure, from time to time throughout
this job to try and keep the debris fs•om inside the building
going to the outside in the alley and blocking the alley
where our people up town can"'t get service for -the dumpsters,
can't get in and out the alley, the fire trucks couldn't get
back there if they had to."
Adkins: "So you redtagged the whole job?"
304.
Brown: "For lack of cooperation, yes mam. For not staying
on top of that, keeping it cleaned up."
Adkins: "Did you tell them that was what it was?"
Brown: "Yes, I had told Dave that's what it was, on the
phone. Yes and he came up then."
Dave: "I'd like to dispute that because the first time that
I heard of any problems about that was when your chief of
police called me at home and told me there was a problem
and that was three days prior to the red tag on the building.
There was quite a bit of datbtis out back of the building
and we were doing all we could to get it out of -there.
We were a little slow about it because we were having a problem
getting people up there to haul it off, but once we got it in
Tear we cleaned it all up. But that it was, I didn't feel
Like this was supposed to have been going on for two weeks
when I wasn't informed until three days prior to that by your
Chief of Police.
Shutt: "Fire Marshall's not here, but he told me he told you
about the problem."
Dave: "I've never met the fire marshall."
Brown: "Sent a letter I believe, I don't know if he
sent it to Mr. Obaldo or to Dave Hillary. I had told Dave
other times on the job though that htis mess had to be cleaned
up, several times I've told him that, and I just couldn't
get any cooperation so I left a red tag on the building at
10 o'clock in the morning that said for lack of cooperation
this building would be shut off at 4 o'clock, I gave him all
day to get a hold of me when he got a hold of me, I gave
him an extension until 9 o'clock the next day because he
promised me he'd have a truck in that alley at 9 o'clock the
next day, which he did, so I did not have it turned off at that
time. He was finally trying to cooperate. The reason Dr. Obaldo,
that your power wasn't turned on Thursday morning as promised
was because Stanley Day couldn't get his electric truck into
the alley to turn on the electricity because Dave had his
trucks back there cleaning it up and as soon as they got out
of the way, Stan ran in there with his truck and got it
hooked up for you. That's why it wasn't turned on as
promised Thursday morning."
Brown: "Also, while I'm at it, we got a complaint today_ Dave,
that I haven't got a hold of you yet because I knew you were
going to be here; but they couldn't get up the alley again today.
It wasn't because of the debris, because the workers are
starting to park their trucks back in the back so I was
going to get a hold of you. I knew I'd see you tonight, so,
but I didn't put a red tag on the building this time, it
only took one, you started cooperating."
Mayor Armstrong: "Now you do need to realize that that alley
must be kept open."
Dave: The problem I have, I realize that there's probably
been a lot of attempts to inform me but it's been told to
everybody but me and I didn't realize there's nothing I can
do about that."
Jenkins: "Is there a dumpster on the side up there?"
Brown: "No, there is not."
.Jenkins: "Why hasn't arrangements been made with Southwest?"
Brown: ""We don't have any place to put it, we had a dumpster
right there on the corner, once the beauty shop opened up, I
went to great lengths to help them every bit I could to get
that beauty shop opened up because that was a client of
Mr. Obaldo's.
3�5.
so I specialized in that one unit and helped Dave considerable
to get that thing going for the beauty shop. Once that r.appened
I had to tell Dave to move that du.mpst:er, or at least, you moved
it, but I wasn't going to let him start throwing out them 2nd
and 3rd story windows right there -here ladies were going in
to get their hair fixed. And in the alley you can't do it -
once you block that alley with even a pick up, your dumpster
people won't go in there and pick them dumpsters up and
that's it."
Dave: "What we're doing up there now, no debris is being taken
out of the building until it is going directly into something
that can haul it away at this point.'"
Brown: "And as of Thursday when he promised me that he has
been doing it, so I have not been bothering him. This was
resolved last week with Dave and I and. he's so far been _
cooperating, now."
Shutt: "We have finally a building permit on the building,
is that correct?"
Brown: "Yes, sir."
Shutt:- "Would you describe the plans that you have that the
building permit issued on?r
Brown.: "Hand drawn plans that Dave anal I have finally agreed on
because Dr. Obaldo didn't want to go t.o the expense of regular,
official plans. Dave, himself, drew them up and I told him
at this point in time, a month or two after it started, I
said, Hell, I'll even take that. I'd take anything about
that.time."
Shutt: "Alright, you have permits for the electrical -and the
plumbing?"
Brown: "No sir, I`ve got permits on the electrical on temporary
power but nothing on floor to floor anal Mrs. Lance Spence is
going to get with me on that as they go in and figure out what
they're actually going to put into each floor. Is that correct
Lance?"
Lance: "Trays right."
Shutt: "Has this been a problem?"
Brown: "It has been a problem for myself and for the contractor
himself, the electrical contractor, because you don't know
exactly what Mr. Obaldo's going to go in in these different
floors. I believe a clothing store's going in the 2nd floor,
unless that changes again."
Shutt: "I have a letter and you have this letter, let me explain
something here, when this plan first started out we had a
concern that the building might not be structually sound--
we wanted to have an opinion of a structural engineer to take
a look at the building. I talked to a. structural engineer
about taking a look at the building, no coat to anybody.
One day when he was on vacation, he stopped by, I wasn't
able to give him information, I advised either Dr. Obaldo
or the person who was there, it wasn't. you, Dave, it was
somebody who was before you, that they needed to get a 2nd
opinion or another opinion from a structural engineer and I
personally came down and had some verbal conversation with
you about what needed to be done, is that correct?"
Dave: "Yes."
306.
Shutt: "You and I and Richard Brown, we decided that we could
do something.about the foundation by putting in those pyramid
shape piers which you did do but then subsequent to that,
we get this letter and I'm not saying that this engineer is
right. I think the way this is written it sounds a little,
a little heavy, I would certainly want a 2nd opinion from,
this one right here and you according to this letter are
a carbon copy Dr. Obaldo dated-October-13th and I'm not
going to read it word by word but basically it says that
the building is unsafe. Now, I don't agree to that in the
case, but we've got something here from an engineer, I think there
needs to be some input from another professional to get
this straightened out."
Dave: "Did I give that copy of that other letter from that
other engineer?"
Brown: "No, this is the only one that I've got and I got
it in the mail."
Shutt: "I'm hoping that this is not correct if it is then
I'm genuinely concerned but I'm concerned anyway and this is
the problem I'm in now, we don't have an official set of
plans for the building but we've issued you a permit. V9
don't have an official set of plans for the plumbing and the
electrical but we're letting you continue to work. We are
bent over so far in an effort of cooperation that I am
concerned that we probably are in a position of being
Legally vulnerable ourselves if something happens in that
building and I don't want it, I don't like to be there, Okay?
What we want, is we want it done safely and we want to know
what's going on. I don't think that's unreasonable."
Dave: "I think that Rick can verify this, is that I've gone
to great lengths to make sure that everything was going to'.be
as safe as humanly possible."
Mayor Armstrong: "Do you have another letter, D: ve? You
mentioned another letter?"
Dave:- "We got a letter from Mr. Isbell that he came out at our
expense and took. a look at the building and he recommended that
we resupport the building, redesign it, support system for it
and we have installed that in the building."
Mayor Armstrong: Alright, anyone else have any questions
they would like to ask of Dr. Obaldo and we'll let him
sit down if no one else has any further questions. Dave,
do you have anything else you'd like to add?"
Dave: "No, I think we got it all."
Mayor Armstrong: "You pretty well covered it all.
Brown: "As long as I can get cooperation from Dave and
Dr. Obaldo, will ao with his General contractor and myself
as tryin¢ to help him very seriously ;et a food product
ouL of that ouilding and in which lluve has shown since
the red tag I have no problems, if I do, I'll hang another
red tag.
Mayor Armstrong: "State who y�k.; are please."
James Yarbrough: "My name is James Yarbrough. I work .for ?have, ��
I`m on the job site alot. I think what should be, that maybe
hasn't been seen in this converstaiori is that there is really a
high tense level at the time that the red tag happened
because we had to have electricity within one day or else our
elevator people didn't want to leave, and that was going to mess
everything up and usually that wouldn't have happened. Tensions
really grew in both parties because something that really didn't..."
Mayor Armstrong: Because of the time."
Yarbrough: "Because of the deadline."
307.
Mayor Armstrong: "Well, I hope that maybe we've cleared the
air a little bit tonight and hopefully we can work this out.
Mr. Brown has said and Stanley's shaking his head back there,
Dave. Maybe the three of you can get together and work out in
susbsequent columns that might come up and perhaps if you
could get in to the city a plan of your electrical work and
your plumbing work that you plan to be: doing."
Dave: "We've got a plumbing contractor now, a new employee,
who thought about getting started, to make sure he has the
plans submitted to Rick Brown."
Brown: In fact, I heard from him so he's supposed to be
in the next day or two.
Adkins: "I can't help but wonder that. some of the problems
seems to be that you don't understand each other maybe if
some of this was in writing so that it might be better."
Dave: " I think a lot of this has been alot of confusion
because basically I'm fairly new at such a large thing
and there's been a lot of confusion. Rick Brown has bent
over backwards for me."
4
Adkins: "Well, but I'm just saying if you don't. When he
started talking, what came up ? A lack of cooperation,
Lack of cooperation, didn't understand why, mentioned that
two or three times and maybe Rick, you need to just put
ghat in a form of a note so there's not any question why -
a(d then it's kinda' an official notification, not just
word of mouth type stuff. I know myself, that by the time
you, a. story, a phrase, a sentence or anything is repeated
the second time sometimes something is left out and maybe
that would prevent any further disputing."
Brown: "I'm not really used to doing that, but I don't have any
problems, usually we can correct it out there like nave
said, the whole problem's been we don't really know what's
oing on i gn that building, neither one of us, and we neither
one can help each other, get it in there cause decisions have
to be Dr. Obaldo's, what he's actually going to put in there."
Mayor Armstrong: "Plus., Dave, I hope you understand that this
is not the only job that Mr. Brown's working on. Sometimes he
is out of pocket and tries to talk to you, I'm sure, as quickly
as he possibly can. If there's nothing else and if that
pretty well clears the problems up, we'll proceed and hope that
it has. Anything else?"
5. Mayor Armstrong: "We're going to do a little rearranging here,
we`ve got some men sitting here that's got to get back." Our
engineers are here and I'm going to move item#ll up."

location was Rudolpho's Restaurant), to be used for church
functions. After discussion, Tommy Kincaid made a motion
to grant the variance for six months, with, if necessary,
a six month extension. Russell Madden gave the second.
Voted unan."
Mayor Armstrong: "r2r. Shutt noted that he would like to have
it in writing if it was passed by the City Council in a

we had to ask you to move, the City wouldn't be the old bad
bear."
Motion was made by Carolyn Adkins and seconded by Danny
Spindle to accept Planning & Zoning's recommendation for
six months with, if necessary, a six month extension.
