She also said subsequently there would be a sheriff s sale and then the City could bid oil it at that time. Ms. Harris told the Council if the City takes ownership of it, there will be at least a period of time between when the City gets title and it is sold to someone else by the RFP process, and there were associated liabilities but those were executive session type details. Ms. Harris said if the building doesn't sell, then the City has the building and there are barriers to sell, one of which is the condition of the building, tax credits that would be important to this project were on the chopping block under the federal tax overhaul plans, including the: new market tax credits and historic tax credits. Ms. Harris told Council if those go away, it would be difficult to finance the project according to her understanding as how Mr. Alarid wants to finance the project, Ms. Harris said if it sells and doesn't get restored, and it comes back to the City, then at the end of five years the City owns the building. Ms. Harris advised she was not telling them yes or no, but that she would be remise if she did not make them aware of all of this. Mayor Clifford inquired what would happen in the next seven years if the City did not do this, Ms. Harris said either the City would have to demolish it, or it would collapse. She advised that the City had the right to demolish it. Ms. Harris reported Mr. Kammer was under order's to demolish it but had not demonstrated the willingness, or the ability to, do, so. Mayor Clifford want to know how much demolition would cost and Ms. Harris informed him the estimates were approximately $300,000 to $400,000. Mayor Clifford said if they do nothing, then at some point the City would have to demolish it to the cost of $300,000 or $400,000, or the City can own it along with its problem but at least have a chance to sell it. Ms. Harris emphasized if the City owns it then the City has liabilities that the City would not have. Mayor Clifford said if the City decided to demolish it, the City assumed those liabilities at that point.

Ms. Harris said it would still be a liability oil the property, Council Member Knox said while Mr. Alarid presented an opportunity, the entire Historic Preservation Commission felt it was necessary to do sornething with the building, because the owner was not or could not do something with it. She said it was an eye sore, becorning increasingly dangerous and nothing was being done, except properties around it were losing tax value. Council Member Knox said this property was, sitting there rotting and it was a significant piece of property. She also said there were opportunities that existed today to do sornething with it, to save a piece of Paris' history. Council Member Knox stated either Paris was going to be a historic town or not and this time, the State of Texas has designated Paris as one of the most historic cities in the State of Texas. She also said she was in favor of the foreclosure and pursuing a viable option. Mayor Clifford agreed with Council Member Knox.
