ITEM NO. 3
(PERRY/MAEVERS)
Resolution 22-16 Appeal
1601 S. Washington Ave.
• Following up on complaints
received from concerned neighbors
Building Official Miller Butts,
together with Building Inspector,
Mike Christensen, met with the
property owner John Castillo on
Oct. 12, 2020 for a site visit to
assess risk to human habitation.
Broken glass, fire damage, trash, debris, and
overall dilapidated condition of property,
constitute a menace to public comfort, health,
peace and safety.
Resolution 22-16 Appeal
1601 S. Washington Ave.
• Following the inspection of the
property, on Oct. 12, 2020 Building
Official Miller Butts, issued an official
notice and placed a Red Tag on
structure, notifying Mr. Castillo of his
responsibility to repair, remove, vacate,
or demolish the premises within 10
days from the date of the notice. The
notice was also sent via certified mail.
Fire damage, trash, debris, and overall dilapidated
condition of property, constitute a menace to public
comfort, health, peace and safety.
Resolution 22-16 Appeal
1601 S. Washington Ave.
• Following an extended period of
discussion with Mr. Castillo, with no
action taken to resolve the issues
presented at the property, a
determination to begin condemnation
proceedings was made in Jan. 2022.
• Resolution 22-16, was adopted by
Roswell City Council on Mar. 10, 2022,
requiring the repair, removal, or
demolition of the property at 1601 S.
Washington Ave., pursuant to Municipal
Code Sec. 16-12.
Resolution 22-16 Appeal
1601 S. Washington Ave.
• Following the Adoption of Res.
22-16, Mr. Castillo contacted the
Community Development Dept.
and requested information on
filing a protest to Res. 22.16. Mr.
Castillo was directed to the City
Clerk’s office to file the appeal.
• Mr. Castillo personally appeared
at the City Clerk’s office on Mar.
28, 2022 and filed a handwritten
letter of protest.
Resolution 22-16 Appeal
1601 S. Washington Ave.
• A subsequent drive-by
inspection shows severe
overgrowth on the north
and west sides of the
property, increasing risk of
a future catastrophic fire.
• Property is still not secure
and is accessible through
the carport and gate on the
north side of house.
Resolution 22-16 Appeal
1601 S. Washington Ave.
• Following the filing of the written
protest, Mr. Castillo visited with
the Building Official and was
given the opportunity to pull
appropriate permits for repair
work. Mr. Castillo refused to sign
the homeowner documentation
and left without any resolution.
• Mr. Castillo has made no further
attempt to contact anyone in the
Community Development Dept.
Resolution 22-16 Appeal
1601 S. Washington Ave.
• As Mr. Castillo has made no further
attempts to resolve the issues
presented, and has refused all
assistance provided by the Building
Division and the Building Inspectors,
there remains serious questions and
uncertainty regarding the structural
integrity, and safety, of the structure.
• The Building Official cannot, with
confidence, determine whether the
structural integrity of the house has
been fatally compromised.
Resolution 22-16 Appeal
1601 S. Washington Ave.
• City Council Action/Recommendation: Uphold the
condemnation pursuant to Resolution 22-16 for the property
located at 1601S. Washington Ave
Thank you!

CORPORATION IRB
KEITH HARTNETT – ADMIRAL BEVERAGE CORPORATION CFO
PETER KELTON – RODEY LAW FIRM
INDUSTRIAL REVENUE BONDS –
BACKGROUND AND STRUCTURE
• Industrial revenue bonds are an economic development tool widely utilized by
municipalities and counties
• Tens of billions of dollars in industrial revenue bonds have been issued for projects across
New Mexico
• Industrial revenue bonds provide tax incentives for developers in the form of tax
abatements and exemptions for property, gross receipts and compensating taxes
• In exchange, developers make certain commitments to the issuer, which may include
obligations such as payments in lieu of taxes
INDUSTRIAL REVENUE BONDS –
BACKGROUND AND STRUCTURE
• For an industrial revenue bond transaction, the developer transfers legal title to the
project site and all associated equipment, structures, facilities, etc. to the issuer
• The issuer then leases the project site and all associated equipment, structures, facilities,
etc. back to the developer, effectively resulting in the developer maintaining full economic
interest in these items
• The issuer and developer also enter into an indenture and bond purchase agreement
relating to the bonds
INDUSTRIAL REVENUE BONDS –
THE BONDS
• The bonds do not represent an obligation of the issuer, and the issuer does not provide
any direct money to the developer
• Rather, the aggregate principal amount of the bonds represents a rough estimate of how
much the developer plans to spend on the project and relates to the gross receipts and
compensating tax abatements sought by the developer
• The bonds are sold to and held by an affiliate of the project company through a bond
purchase agreement, and the bonds are secured by an indenture
ADMIRAL BEVERAGE CORPORATION PROJECT
INFORMATION
• The project as proposed consists of the acquisition, construction, equipping and
installation of a facility for the warehousing and distribution of alcoholic and non-
alcoholic products (the “Project”) by Admiral Beverage Corporation (the “Company”)
