Mr. Perry said yes and added that the Lopezes waited until the 30th day to respond. Ms. Perry noted that everyone knew the language of the condition all along, and no one came forward to dispute it; and now the Lopezes are here asking for a modification, doing the same thing again, which was not a surprise to anyone. Mr. Lopez stated that he and his wife are shocked and a little beside ourselves on the character assassination association. He indicated that he understands how people can interpret things differently, but this is definitely skewed. He noted that they have called the police on numerous occasions for being harassed, mostly noise complaints of loud music being played late into the night. He added that they do have a videotape of the Perrys' children like the Perrys have been saying, but the Perrys have called them much worse in person. Mr. Lopez stated that he does a lot of coaching and the Perrys have said in public that he is a child molester, a pedophile, and things like that. He noted that they have shown the police the video they have of him asking the neighbor to please turn down the music at night, and the police have confirmed that there is nothing wrong with the video. He added that there are so many things mentioned about them that he would be spending too much time trying to debunk most of it. He noted that they are the ones being harassed, but they would like to stay with the facts of this case. He added that they did not wait up to 30 days to respond to the bids. Ms. Lopez stated that as soon as they got the three bids from Ms. Bonn, she immediately contacted Mr. Dolan because she wanted to confirm these were just bids, a piece of paper that indicates exactly how much the skylight would cost and not that the work would be done. She indicated that it took Mr. Dolan 24 hours to get back to her and that he told her that the Perrys did not have to install the skylight. She stated that the intent was to install the skylight in good faith of what the City Council agreed upon as provided in Option 3, and working things out between the Perrys and the Lopezes meant getting together and working out the details specifically with respect to the installation of a skylight. Ms. Lopez continued that when Mr. Dolan informed her that the Perrys could use the fund for other means, they hired an attorney and contacted Mr. Dolan, the City Manager, and the City Attorney. She stated that it took the attorneys two weeks to discuss the matter, and in the final week, they got word from the City Manager that the City Attorney's position was that in order for them to bring this matter back on the table, they would have to file an appeal, which they submitted a few days later. Mr. Lopez reiterated that during the City Council meeting, Mayor Hosterman stated that the details did not have to be worked out that night and that they— the Perrys and the Lopezes and not the attorneys — could work it out later. He added that then they got the bids and were informed that the language of the condition does not say that they have to install a skylight.
