Jeanna Scott made the presentation to the commissioners. Ms. Scott stated the City of Paris sent Dr. Kilgore a violation notice stating he must remove his sign, because it was advertising a business that was no longer in operation. Mr. Kilgore submitted a letter requesting the City nominate the L.O. Hammons sign as it has been on the building more than fifty years and the department store was a well -known business during its time period. Ms. Scott further stated Dr. Kilgore has the two missing letters and will replace them. Nancy Anderson asked if the building was to sale, would this nomination keep the new owner from removing the sign. Ms. Scott stated no it would not, it only protects the sign from forced removal by the City, and the new owner could remove it if they choose to. Motion was made by Britin Bostick, seconded by Nancy Anderson to approve the nomination, subject to the sign being repaired. Ben Vaughan asked what the criteria is for nominating a historic signs. Paul Denney stated being at least fifty years old qualifies the sign, not the type of sign. Ben Vaughan asked what is the time limit for the property owner to repair the sign. Robert Talley stated he would give him another ten days to repair the sign and would work with the owner if they needed extra time to repair it. If the owner does not respond then a court case can be filed in municipal court or the City could remove the sign.
