$2.3 Million to do work. Mr. Richards asked whose responsibility it would be. <br />Mr. Talley said it would be Mr. Alarid's. Mr. Kohls asked if the commission is <br />only concerned with the west wall. Mr. Talley said that this is correct. Mr. Talley <br />reiterated that Mr. Stringer stated in his bid document (the BAD Company <br />document), in the final item under the Scope of Work, Exterior Brick <br />Replacement, thats the power must be moved OR re- routed. Mr. Richards said <br />that now that Mr. Talley had made his recommendation, the commission should <br />have a discussion. Johnny Norris said that the commission would have a further <br />discussion, but first asked for a motion on Mr. Talley's recommendation. <br />Ben Vaughan recommended approving the motion, seconded by Ken Kohls. <br />Further discussion: <br />Mr. Kohls said he'd like to hear from city attorney regarding the course of action. <br />City Attorney Stephanie Harris reminded the commission that this was a public <br />hearing, so anyone who wants to speak should be afforded the opportunity to do <br />so. Ms. Harris stated that the BSC's authority is limited. She told the <br />commission that she is researching potential remedies under state law, but since <br />any action of that nature would have be taken to City Council, she was not at <br />liberty to discuss her possible recommendations to Council. Mr. Norris said the <br />only thing the commission is concerned with is this 90 -day to repair order. <br />Mr. Alarid then addressed the Commission and gave members a packet which <br />included a copy of the City of Paris Code of Ordinances Article III, Sec 7 -49 (e), <br />"Authority of [Building and Standards] Commission," stating the BSC is <br />authorized to declare a building or structure dangerous and to order the securing <br />of buildings. He noted that Sec. 7- 49(f), "Standards," states that in determining <br />whether to order a building repaired, vacated, demolished or secured the <br />standards to be applied include "If the dangerous building or structure is in such <br />condition as to make it dangerous to the health, morals, safety, or general welfare <br />of its occupants or of the public, it shall be ordered to be vacated." Mr. Alarid <br />also cited Sec 7 -50, "Preservation of substandard buildings as historic property." <br />Mr. Alarid then stated that "red tag" means a building is not safe and cannot be <br />used until repairs are done. Mr. Alarid made reference to 2 buildings in Paris <br />currently "red tagged," 201 Bonham and the building across the street from 201 <br />Bonham. Mr. Alarid then showed a photo of the "red tag" from his cell phone <br />which appeared to be orange, as Mr. Talley stated. Mr. Alarid then referenced the <br />roof collapse of 201 Bonham and that Code Enforcement and the Fire Dept. "red <br />tagged" the building. Mr. Alarid also referred to Sec 7 -55 which addresses duties <br />of code inspectors and their authority to limit access to a building. Mr. Alarid <br />stated that Robert Smith (former City of Paris Building Official) and Mr. Talley <br />inspected the building and said they were going to "red tag" the building. Mr. <br />Alarid then stated the City Manager told Code not to "tag" this building, Mr. <br />Alarid then stated that Jud Stringer, from BAD demolition, was not present for the <br />
