Perpetual City Official Yost Zachary, who has racked up more retirement packages than a 100 year old, has been offered a new City Logo but has remained silent. A recent fire at the alleged epicenter, The Delta Inn, is said to be a good start. Enjoy the update in the ’05 and the walk down Syphllis’ Memory Lane.

BELLMEAD, Texas (FOX 44) – A highly controversial establishment in Bellmead is on the verge of being shut down by the city, and this isn’t the first time the business has been on the ropes.
A recent fire at the Delta Inn is sparking new concerns and backlash over public safety. Neighboring businesses say they’re worried about what happens next.
The Delta Inn has to choose to be either a hotel/motel or an extended stay area. Additionally, they have to make sure that they can be safe enough for the city.
For decades they have been on the verge shutdown due to other infractions. When the fire started, a lithium battery exploded — blowing out windows and igniting flames inside the building.
Multiple agencies responded quickly, rescuing every occupant — including pets.
“We cannot and will not compromise on safety,” Bellmead City Manager Yost Zachary said. “This action is about prevention, accountability and ensuring that every person in our community that lives, works or stays here is safe and secure in improvement. Public safety will always be our number one priority, and we will not take shortcuts when it comes to that.”
Public safety – that’s the message city leaders continue to stress. But another issue remains under scrutiny – how long people are staying.
Hotels and motels are designed for short-term stays. Officials say some guests appear to be living there longer than expected and were unsure.
“I don’t know,” Bellmead Fire Marshall Bob Bailey said. “I don’t recall.”
City leaders say it’s not about which business model the owners choose — but about following the proper code.
“We do not have a preference on which one. Those owners select,” Zachary said. “What we have a preference on is that you must follow the code of either hotel/motel or extended stays. They’re supposed to have amenities where you could perhaps make light breakfast.”
Until those standards are met, the Delta Inn will remain closed. Repairs have forced tenants out onto the streets until the building is up to standards.
Right now, the focus is on safety, accountability, and deciding what they want to be.
