Well, THIS is interesting! See item 8.5 in tonight’s packet [page 3]
Could it be that City council is FINALLY going to do something about the absolute and total disregard S2M2 has shown their agreement with the City? I’ve covered this story many, many times. HERE, HERE, HERE and HERE for instance.
City Hands Former Council Member “Greasy” Chris Harrison and Developer S2M2 $185,000 In City Funds For Brodie Estates [October 2020]
The agreement was signed in May of 2020 and S2M2 had 4 years to build 22 houses. Talbert, Monroe and other assorted morons handed Chris Harrison and S2M2 $185,000 – mainly to “make up” for the lots they “lost” to a drainage pond they had to build.
Of course, if they had done their homework BEFORE they bought the property, they’d have known this. But Misti bailed them out of their own fuckup. Did I mention that Misti used to do the books for Greasy Chris Harrison at one point?
No biggie.
Here is the agreement so you can see for yourself.
Here we are FIVE years later and there are only 10 houses built of the 22 required. THREE of those are currently for sale and seem to have no buyers. Which is odd, because all I hear is that Lampasas needs more housing. Yet S2M2 is finding very little demand. Perhaps it’s because the price is very close to retarded, if you ask me:
Ummm, over $200 per square foot? For that location? No thanks. But hey, they reduced the price by 2% a month ago! That’ll get things rolling!
Also, the ENTIRE PREMISE for grabbing $185,000 from the taxpayer in the FIRST place turned out to be bullshit. They convinced Talbert and Monroe that they were “giving up” several possible lots they COULD have built on but instead had to use as a drainage pond. BUT, here we are 5 years later and only 10 houses have been built and THREE of those sit unsold. So actually, that drainage pond didn’t rob you of shit. You STILL haven’t even sold HALF of what you said you would!
In a fair world, the City would demand their $185,000 back. If they can’t pay it, take the fuckers to court and wipe them out. Yet ANOTHER of Misti Talbert’s huge fuckups coming home to roost. Seems like they never end.
