Now we are going to read, review, and discuss the damaged wall that is located between private residential land in Shelly Drive and Jenny Drive in Spring Creek Estates and the Drain Asset issue. This issue has been brought to the City Council before in the City Council meeting on May 7, 2026, when the City Manager reported on the meeting of City Engineers and gave photos as well as technical reports. We welcome Mr. Owen Larsens and Eddie Alreno.

Owen Larson, 2002, Celidre. I don't feel like standing here and answering your questions because I've been talking a lot and I feel like I haven't succeeded. So, we all know there is a problem with the wall. This problem has been there for more than 20 years. Can I ask if anyone has one? Every event we want to win.

So I'm not sure if we've met before. Nice to meet you. My name is Judy Almasri. I'm from Hukum Masford. And before I continue, I want to introduce my colleague, John Beeman. He is a new interviewer at our company that attracts you like a sponsor. He learned how to become a city lawyer and hopefully he can help your city at some points. And for people out there in the world of Maya, on YouTube who watch us, we will not pay twice as much for two lawyers who attend your city council meeting. I know you have concerns. I mean, all my cities are worried about fiscal responsibility and honestly, you must also be worried. I'm glad to have you. Unfortunately, we already talked about this when I was here in May, and I felt that you could not attend, so I apologize for that. However, I can summarize what happened before that, and what has happened until now. Unfortunately, you were not here 20 years ago because I have often done this discussion.

Exactly after you talked, I ignored everything you said. No, don't be offended, but I don't agree with anything you said.

So, allow me to explain. So, I know you are very involved with this, but maybe there are people out there who are listening and watching us who are not too involved. As far as I understand, you bought a house a while ago. I built it. Okay. You have a house that you have lived in for a long time, and you want the city to help you with the drainage problem that It's in your house and maybe one or two other houses along the way through a wall that was built after we lived there for eight years.

However, in general, my facts are correct.

I'm not sure it's true, but you can consider it true if you want.

I don't think so. The Texas Water Code 11,087 is part of the problem, and you are not the only one to address it. Allow me to ask this question.

What do you want this city of Ki to do for you?

As I told the last time to the mayor of Pro Tem, I want you to repair the wall. Okay. From the beginning of the road to the end of the road. If it costs $300,000-$400,000, it's not my fault. Okay. So, according to my understanding, the fact is true that you want the city to use public funds for the wall.

I want the city to do the right thing. I don't care how much the cost is. I want the city to do the right thing. All right, let's discuss the views here. First of all, the Texas Constitution prohibits the release of 22 years ago, if they do the right thing, we will not stand here.

The city creates a problem.

You are completely against your opinion and I will not give an opinion.

In fact, the city creates it.

No.

I will not debate with you about it.

We are debating.

I will not debate.

This is an argument.

And, Larsen, can we respect the city councilor? I don't think it makes any sense at all. Thank you. Because I'm not sure you know what you mean today. I was talking two years ago when this started.

You want to act as if the law has been in place for 22 years. The one that happened today. Maybe the law is the same, but if you do the right thing from the beginning, we won't be here. Okay.

Well, I will confirm that you will not change your position. I won't do it. Okay? And unfortunately, your city council is limited in what action they can take. However, I want to reiterate that your city council, your city manager, your city staff, your city technicians, and your city councillors have spent quality time trying to determine whether there is something that can be done by the city for you or not. And basically, the problem on the road is the problem of personal property.

made by the city.

Well, once again, that's your position, and 22 years ago, if you were like that.

And how is it possible that the city didn't do it? How is it possible that it wasn't made by the city? Please explain that.

Because this is a private property.

Maybe it was before. No. Maybe it was a private property before. Maybe not. But right now, it's happening, right now, the developer is developing the property. No house is being built. There's even no land to be built. There are no houses there. And when we showed it, none of them were there. The city government then said, yes, that was before. The city government built a wall. Do you realize that there are no two blocks of land without a wall, without an engineer, without permission? I mean, I can continue. I'm sure you can.

Okay. So, I want to explain that a lot of time has been spent, including recreation time, and the engineers have come to the conclusion that there is a solution, but it is not a city problem. So, because the Texas Constitution and the Texas Supreme Court in the case of law have stated that there is no city or media city in the state of Texas that can buy public funds for personal issues.

Because of violating the Texas Constitution, no one can do anything about it. Okay. You won't do anything. Your lawyer says we won't do anything. So if I vote for you, if I vote for you, who wins? My lawyer wins, your lawyer wins. I don't win, you don't win. I mean, is that what happened?

I think so. I mean, I can't answer for your city council. What I want to say is that the legal position of the city is that there is no legal obligation to do anything.

Far more, Mantan. You use the word obligation. You don't have an obligation, but you can do it.

You don't need to listen to the lawyer. Far more, the legal advice is not to spend public funds on personal property.

You don't need to listen to the lawyer.

That's right. I suggest we go to our lawyer because we want legal advice on what happened here. As you said 20 years ago, you built your own house. So do you know that this is part of it every time you do it? Not like that. They built five-legged land.

Not a single one of you has ever been to my house. Not a single one of you. Not a single one of you. You haven't been there. Have you been there? Have you been there? Did he say everything was perfect the other day? Have you ever been to my house? Are you sure it's not just a page? Okay. I feel like that's the back page. It's there with Regence. What? Oh, it's been a while.

I remember you told me about that, but we didn't spend much time there. If your city manager comes to the back page of my house and says everything is fine, he's blind.

That's right. No, he didn't say that. He won't say that because it's not the right thing to say.

No, but he's not a single person. The problem has to be fixed. How long has the AWN mission been going on?

I don't know. 20 years. 22 years.

When was the first time you realized there was a problem?

I mean, two years.

The house behind my house when we found you having a problem. When you put your feet on the ground. Correct. On the line of the fence behind my property. At that time, I became worried. Okay, then the city government said, wake up the fence. And I said, no, you won't build a wooden wall, right? They said no. I continued, I didn't buy it, I went to work. I said I was leaving. I returned and the city manager had allowed the city wall to be built from creosote wood.

Excuse me, sir. I only have a simple question. When was the first time you realized there was a problem? When was that? What year? Too long to remember.

2002? That's what I mean. Okay, I think all of this will end there.

You have had many opportunities in the City Council for many years, haven't you? I'm here. Like what happened last time, nothing happened.

And I will never give up.

So I'm asking, why are you asking for the city's responsibility for that?

The city forces developers to build a wall of resistance.

And I think I'm asking, excuse me, I think I'm asking you one last time, do you remember who built it?

I mean, don't you have a note about it? No, sir. I don't have a note about it. I'm asking for a note. I can tell you that you don't seem to be able to find your own information. Because I did ask a question. Okay, let's go. I asked, I asked for the first page, the last page. I decided to get it. I asked who owns it. I asked who. I ask for permission, I ask for consent, I have asked for staff reports that recommend, reject, agree. All communications between cities and developers, none of this. None. So you hide it from me or you don't have it. So if you don't have a map and permission, as well as a technical plan, you don't have all of this. How can the Tembo be there? I know the answer. But you don't know the answer. You can't even tell me who owns it. Okay.

Larsen, it looks like you've been here longer than most of us. Some of us have been here longer than I have. But if you have met the deities over and over again about this and each of you said that they can't do anything, why do you continue? The Tembo is still a problem.

It's still a problem, but it looks like only two people are complaining about it.

The people who own the wall, because I'm telling you who owns the wall, right? You don't know who owns the wall. I've tried to tell you who owns the wall. The people who own the wall don't know that they have a problem.

They don't know that they have a problem.

They don't know that they have a problem because the wall doesn't affect them.

So the wall takes over your property on one side and the property on the other.

It affects all properties in Jenny Drive.

I know, but what I want to say is that you two are the only ones who talk about that wall. And seriously, you might have 22 years to fix it yourself.

I have a sign from every property owner on the street. These people have no problem. I mean, maybe you should tell them if you think they have no problem. They signed this petition.

I don't mean that, because they have never been here with you at the council. If they have a problem. Come, Edi. What will I tell you?

What's the problem? Don't the others want to waste their time coming here?

Mr. Larson and Mr. Reno, we have an interviewer that we can ask for advice. We have asked the technician to check him and so on. So we don't ... We respect and honor our interviewer. So we will provide their advice if the council wants to take it. Excuse me, Mr. Mayor.

So I think what I mean is that we have had a lot of discussions about this. We have. We sympathize with you. We love you. Don't ask me. So it's okay for the city not to do anything and then hide behind the law

Do you agree with that?

If that's your house, it's okay, but you have to pay for what you've been doing for years. And I'm willing to talk about what I mean. I know everyone knows you, loves you. I love you. I've talked about it many times. But allow me to say one thing. At a certain point, this has to be stopped. If that's your house, it will. Repair yourself. No one has done anything about it. And now we've all been thinking about it for hours. And we're not willing to do anything. I haven't seen you think about it for hours. I don't do it. Oh, I can tell you, okay?

What have you done? I'm sorry.

What are you going to do? Yes, I'm going to fix it. How? I'm going to find a way because it's mine. I made a decision to buy a house and I will stay with what I have.

I bought a house that doesn't have any problems. What are you going to do? I'm asking you a question. If you want to stand there and say those things. As of now, as far as I know, everything has ended. A wife in the house said to fix the wall and I'm like, how do I fix the wall when I don't have it? How do I fix it when I don't have it? Everyone decides that we can't do it anymore.

How do I fix it?

Answer the question. You can't. I don't know why you can't answer the question. Ask your interviewer to answer the question. How will you fix it? Yes, sir.

How will you fix it? Our interviewer has tried to let you know that you're... Say a few words.

Please, sir. Accept it. Say a few words.

Look at this.

We have the picture. We have the technical report. You have, I don't know if you don't have a technical report, but the technical report tells you how to fix it. So you have a solution. It's not honest. There is a solution. Is there? It's in the package for the May meeting. The technical report is there. The technician comes. He tells us what needs to be done.

I don't hear the solution. All right. Please share the solution.

It's on the internet.

What you have to do is open the package for the 7th. Let's discuss it. We're here now. If there is a solution, please.

We will gladly share the technical report with you. I don't need to read it.

Please. The solution.

Well, that's a recommendation. So this is a discussion about it. I don't think we need to waste time reading the technical reports on the internet. That's a technical solution, a recommendation on how to solve the problem. Because it's not a problem of the city, it's a problem of personal property.

That's not the reason, sir. That's not the problem. Just say it. It doesn't mean it's not our house. It doesn't mean we don't care. We just can't do anything. You said you don't care. We can't rationally make a decision to do something for you. I'm sorry.

You said there was a solution. What's the solution? Larsen. The lawyer said there was a solution.

Is that true? What do you mean? Hold on. There's a technical report explaining how to fix the problem. However, there is a fee that does not want to be paid by the city.

Is this money now? Because if it's your house, will you accept it as a problem or as an answer? The fee is too expensive because we will not fix the problem.

No, the fee is not too expensive. This is a matter of personal property. This is not a matter of the city. Simply put.

The Texas Water Code 11987 applies here. Do you want to talk about groundwater? What is it? That's groundwater.

What is the function of groundwater? That's the country's groundwater.

God, show me what I've just shown you. The earth's water is pushed up, under one of... I don't want to call it a wall, because it's a sin. The water is pushed up, under that rock. And the water comes down from another property. So in other words, all their water is pushed down to the ground and under mine. It's also on the ground, on the back of my page.

You have the right to get it, but it's not legal.

Thank you.

Stand behind the speaker. Sir, from the audience, if you want to go to Mr. Larson for a moment, we need to finish this here.

What are you going to do? Why are they using a knife?

Why are you letting that happen? Why are you using a knife?

Sir, I'm not saying your name behind you. I'm sorry. If the builder, whoever it is, put the wood there to hold the wall, know that it may not be true. But at that time, two years ago, you should have thought about it. You should have called someone. You should have done something. But I just want to let you know that not a single one of us has been a member of the council for the past 22 years. And so far, our presenters have told us that this is not something that can be done by the city. So I really need to end this discussion now because there is nothing that can be done by the city about that. This is not going to end. This is not going to end, but this session must be ended.

So I'm going to ask you two questions. Two questions. Who owns the wall? Who is responsible for asking for the wall or repairing the wall?

I don't know. I asked you in one or two previous meetings who you know as the owner. Personal property. Not the city's property.

Can the city ask its owner to repair the wall?

Once again, you are the one who talks about personal property. I don't know how many times I have to say personal. So if that's the case,

Thank you. Is there anything you want to say? It should have been fixed a long time ago.

It's not our law.

We don't make laws. Do you have a question? Do you dare to defend? No. Ladies and gentlemen, I feel that you are a little too much here. I will give two sentences about it. With what Judy mentioned to us in May, okay? If we side with it and do something that is contrary to the law of the state, it will endanger us six, seven of us, anyone who sits here, not only pay fines or go to jail or make that decision because we violate the law of the state. So I really don't want to take that risk and from what I heard, no one else here wants to do that either. And that's where it happened. We don't want to violate the law of the state.

You have personal property on the other side.

You are the one who placed you when they built the wall. That's not yours. It belongs to someone.

It's not the city's, right?

No, but the city gave it to them. The city is responsible for agreeing on all the maps, all the technical plans, all the walls to be restored.

That is a very big part of it, like them. invest in it. Why do they invest in it? Because of tax money. I mean, that's how you earn this income. You just agreed to some. I mean, it's them. The city is very involved. And so, sir. And they agreed. They forced it to happen and then they agreed.

Mr. Larsson, once again, it violates the law. So we need to end this meeting to discuss this specific topic.

If it violates the law now, why doesn't it violate the law for them to make that decision at that time? I don't know. He said it violates the law at that time. So it also violates the law at that time? For them to build a wall like that? They made it from scratch. That's what I mean.

They made it from scratch. No one has ever done it. So why are you still trying to say that even though it violates the law, we have to do it for you? I say. Do it. I say. Yes, I say. We can't do it, Lord. So no one can fix it. We can't fix it. No one can fix it. I can't fix it. I don't have that wall. I can't fix it.

I'm different between the stone and the place I live. Don't you understand that? I can't fix it. You can't fix it. Sit down. Your lawyer doesn't want to give anything. Then why are you asking us to fix it? Don't I ask for permission? No, I'm asking you to fix it. I'm asking you to fix it.

And we tell you that we can't fix it, sir. So please sit down.

Are you asking me to sit?

Yes, Lord, I am asking you. We are trying to make a commitment to hold a special meeting here, and we want to hear it here to discuss about it. Well, this is special, and we have heard you, but we have heard you several times, and the host has told us that we are not coming back. I'm not saying that. That's how I feel. No, I'm just saying that we...

Sit and don't come and don't come back.

You heard it right. I'm not telling you not to meet. I'm telling you to sit down now so that we can continue our meeting. And the interviewer has told us that we can't legally do it. So consider it as it should be. We will review and discuss and take action on the final agreement for sections A, B, and C of Phase III of the development of Aston Home Place located on Route 3, Abstract 5189 of Survey J, Necky Johnson County, Texas proposed by HRB Consultants under the name of MKP Development LLC. This property is generally located at 2101 County Road 805 in Kin City, Johnson County, Texas. And I believe in Meggie. Okay, Meggie. Good evening, Dewan.

Good evening, Dewan. Thank you.

My name is Meggie Alegria. I am the coordinator of development services, and I am here to give you a little background on this map. The initial map for the Ashton Home Place was originally approved by the City Council on July 28, 2022. Since then, the final map for phases 1 and 2 has been approved and the construction on the map is almost complete. Our city staff and technicians have reviewed the civilian plan and the final map for phases 3A, 3B, and 3C. This map complies with all our regulations and PD regulations that have been approved. There is no other major change made from the initial map that has been approved. So basically, all of these maps have been approved by the technicians and the initial map. Then every time they give up this final map, they also give up their construction plan.

Yes, ma'am. And is the construction plan also approved? Yes, ma'am. So, ma'am, do I have any suggestions for this item?

Are the planning and zoning provided by you, are the planning and zoning, they just saw it, right? Yes, on Monday.

Please give a loud voice.

I urge you to agree with the final agenda for Parts A, B, and C of Phase 3 of the Aston Home Place development.

I agree. All those who agree may be dismissed. Thank you. Okay, next we need to discuss and take action on the final map agreement that was revised for the second phase of the Kenyans development, which was proposed by Kimberly Horne under the name of Dr. D.R. Harton. This property is generally located on 303 Wayland Street in Kin City, Johnson County, Texas. And again, busy tonight, Maggie? This is the last one. You are all much more busy than me. Okay, so on the back of this one, the second phase of the petafinal was approved by the City Council on December 4, 2025. Since the initial agreement, road development and related infrastructure have been started. During the next development and inspection process, it is stated that the review of the petafinal that was approved is needed to document the location condition accurately and provide additional information as well as facilities related to development as well as construction. I also include the revision that was suggested here in your discussion report. Then, drag the change to the final map that should be in front of you. Okay, I also invite Tyler here, who asked for a petition, who asked for a map, if you have any questions for him.

And this is the subdivision that is behind here, not here, right?

It's here. But it's behind.

See, there's a wall here.

Yes, and actually there's a note here that this is managed by HOA. I want to show it. Yes. Don, whenever, or you, young nun, have we ever found

How to change the subdivision into development? What's worse, somewhere in the background or we don't do it? Have we ever done it? Then we choose not to do it. Partly because it's the area. I know we've talked about it at one point and I don't know if there's a reason, so I think that's the reason. But that has passed, you know, the fire extinguisher, and that's why they added a side road over there, a side road over there, which is called SEP, which is related to that. It makes the two roads not too long, or the fire extinguisher truck has to turn, or maybe go back, so it seems to be placed there as a replacement. So there are two ways out.

Hi, I'm Tyler Stein from Kimdia.

So, we added the minimum number of floors that have been added to the land, especially because the land is close to a 100-year floodplain. And that is pure information. All the land is there. There is a lot to give. And that two feet above that 100 years is the absolute minimum that can be used. But everything is planned and built.

I urge the committee to agree on the final roadmap for the A, B, and C sections of the third phase of the Aston Home Place development I urge the committee to agree on the final roadmap for the second phase of the Kenyan development

Everyone agrees? Okay, thank you very much. So, there is no executive session. So, is there an agenda that will be included in the agenda? Does anyone have an idea?

I will say that October has changed into a month with many things, so we will not be bored at the next meeting.

Okay, if there is no agenda to come, the meeting will be closed at 6.46.
