allow this project to move on. Mr. Scott asked Mr. Talley why the owner could not get the electricity disconnected to the building. Mr. Talley said because the cell companies have an easement and the electricity to the towers is their names. Mr. Scott further enquired as to whose name the power to the tower was. Mr. Talley said Metro PCS, T- Mobile, and AT &T. Ms. McEwin asked whether all of the cell companies agreed to move the power, and Mr. Talley said yes, that there had been testimony as to that earlier. Mr. Talley also reminded the commission that Mr. Stringer was at the meeting and agreed to the plan, and that Oncor was also there and agreed power could be moved so the wall can be taken down, which contradicts Mr. Darnell stating work cannot be done without the power being turned off. Johnny Norris then asked Mr. Talley to make his recommendation again. Mr. Talley recommended that the commission make a finding that the owner was notified of the ordinances, and that the commission make a further finding that after being put on notice of the order, which was mailed to him on 5/26/16, and the requirements of the ordinance, the owner failed to take action necessary to comply with the order and the ordinance. Mr. Talley further recommended that the commission assess civil penalties in the amount of $100 per day beginning 9/30/16 for being in violation of the 5/26/16 order. Mr. Richards asked how many times has someone actually paid civil penalties assessed by the commission. Mr. Talley said he's not sure how many times someone has paid, but he did know the City had collected civil penalties when a property has been sold. Motion was made by Ben Vaughn, seconded by Sally McEwin to accept Mr. Talley's recommendation. Motion carried unanimously. 7 -0 Mr. Norris asked what happens now because the wall is still a danger. Mr. Talley said he didn't know what Mr. Alarid was going to do from here. Mr. Norris said he'd like to see a report on this at the next BSC meeting. Mr. Norris then said he would like to table agenda items B and C until the next meeting and go straight to code enforcement update. Motion was made by Johnny Norris, seconded by Ben Vaughn to table agenda items B and C until the next meeting. Motion carried unanimously. 7 -0 B. 538 NW 11`h; City Block 83, Lot 13 Owner: Perry Patterson and Heather Bybee; 828 E Price #6, Paris TX 75460 This item was tabled until the October meeting.
