Building Code Board of Appeals Meeting Minutes (DATE) Page 11 of 27 money. There was a subtotal owed to Fordyce, which did not make sense and was fraud. Gollin asked, there is nowhere in the contract stating Severy Creek gets $12,000 for O&P? Clark replied, this case has nothing to do with O&P. It is simple, in exchange for getting insurance proceeds, they are to replace two roofs and that did not happen. The roof were not replaced. Gollin asked, there was nothing in the contract that states Severy Creek receives $9,000 because the building sold? Clark replied that is correct; on 4-1-2020 the two buildings sold. Gollin stated that is 180 months after the roofing contract was signed. Gollin asked for explanation of Exhibit 22, which is the settlement between Fordyce insurance and Severy Creek. Clark replied that Severy Creek refused to provide Exhibit 22, and that Fordyce's insurance provided the legal document. It was signed after the Authority to Settle was revoked and it stated Severy Creek has the authority to settle, when that was in doubt because they breached their contract. Clark stated this was Severy Creek's intent --to collect money from Fordyce without having to do any work. Clark asked the authority to permanently revoke Severy Creek's and Mr. Louden's license in this jurisdiction. Clark continued, he is unprofessional and there was a breach and then it is pure fraud. There is no legal pretense for O&P and a termination fee should not be collected. Clark continued, it is just simply Mr. Louden trying to keep as much money as possible without doing the work. Clark finalized, in his opinion, Mr Louden has preyed on a certain age of individual and targets them with these documents and then does not do the work. Gollin stated, the authority may have questions, as well as Mr. Louden. Berry asked Mr. Louden if he has questions. Cross -Examination of Mr. Clark Louden stated, Clark mentioned a contract with Fordyce (inaudible) something not mentioned (inaudible). Berry interrupted, that was not a question and Louden will have time to present his evidence. Louden stated he had no questions. Berry asked if the board has questions. Questions from the Board for Mr. Clark Gotto asked to review the numbers -what monies did Severy Creek receive? Gotto asked, have the roofs been replaced? Clark confirmed, as of today, both roofs still need replacement. Clark continued, the money trail is more complicated because the accounting comes from Severy Creek; however, based on Exhibits 21 and 22, the total claim settled was for $60,000 on 4-29-2020. Money paid early by Fordyce- $3833.17 for building #1 (1655 Courtesy Road) and 5787.99 on the building #2 (Cannon Circle) totaling, a little less than S10,000. Clark continued, on 7-14-2020, $60,000 was paid to Furtado Law, then the money was liquidated. Furtado Law 11
