Church Paris, TX 75460 Present: Mr. Harper (property owner) and Britton Bostic — representative 425 S. Church Paris, TX 75460 Robert Talley explained that the property came to the commission in 2012. Since 2012 more of the roof has fallen. A fence has been placed around the property by the property owners for safety reasons. The south wall doors are buckling, there's roof damage, and missing widows. Robert Talley's recommendation: 90 days to demolish if not the City has the right to demolish and apply a $1000 per day civil penalty. Britton Bostic told the commission that she and Mr. Harper met with a brick mason and a carpenter and that moisture is causing the bricks to turn to sand. The proposed plan that they are working on to repair the building consists of starting with fixing the brick and working with a brick mason. This will be a slow process. The building presents no danger and they do have a fence around the property for safety. Ms. Bostic estimated that it could take up to six months to finish this project and the project repairs should start in about two weeks. Mr. Wilson asked if Ms. Bostic felt comfortable that the walls will not fall out. Ms. Bostic said she
