Regular Council Meeting April 22, 2024 Page 6 Mr. Path explained the City of Paris demolished a dangerous structure located at 239 Ne 2°d Street in June of 2006, and applied a lien against the property on September 1, 2006, in the principal amount of $1,350.30. He said the lien continued to exist on this property since that time. He also said that taxes had been paid and any other nuisance violations that may have occurred had also been paid. Mr. Path stated that Jeff Faber is listed as the owner and took ownership on February 5, 2024. Mr. Path said accumulated interest was approximately $5,885.87 and the value of the property according to LCAD was $2,010.00. Mr. Path said it was his recommendation that the City Council require payment of the principal amount of $1,350.30 and it was a Council decision as to waive or not waive interest. Following discussion by the City Council, a Motion to require Mr. Faber to pay the amount of the lien and one-half of the interest was made by Council Member Pilgrim and seconded by Council Member Savage. Motion carried, 7 ayes — 0 nays. 23. Discuss and approve an additional $72,600.00 to be sent to TxDOT for the Runway and Taxiway Rehabilitation Project scheduled to start early summer of 2024. Airport Manager Paul Strahan said for the past few years the City had budgeted to provide the 10% match with TxDOT to complete a resurface project on the runway and taxiway at the airport. He explained the City had budgeted and sent the funds to TxDOT but since then had been informed the project was delayed for an entire year which resulted in an increase in the cost of the entire project. Mr. Strahan explained the original amount paid was $275,000.00 and the amount the City needed to send to TxDOT was $72,600.00 which represented the City's 10% requirement for a total of $374,600 and would come from the City's ARPA Funds. He also said if bids come in higher than the estimated amount, it was possible that more funds would be needed to cover the 10%. He said City Staff recommended approval of an additional $72,600.00 be sent to TxDOT for this rehabilitation project scheduled to start early summer of 2024. A Motion to approve this item was made by Council Member Savage and seconded by Council Member Norment. Motion carried, 7 ayes — 0 nays. 24. Discuss and act on ORDINANCE NO. 2024-016 amending Appendix A, "Fee Schedule, "Section A3.002, "DEVELOPMENT AND GENERAL CONSTRUCTION AND PLANNING PERMIT FEES," OF THE CODE OF ORDINANCES OF THE CITY OF PARIS; MAKING OTHER FINDINGS AND PROVISIONS RELATED TO THE SUBJECT; PROVIDING A REPEALER CLAUSE, A SEVERABILITY CLAUSE, AND A SAVINGS CLAUSE; AND DECLARING AN EFFECTIVE DATE. Deputy City Manager Rob Vine explained that the purpose of these fees was to offset public tax dollar expense directed towards development projects in town, and keeping the fees reasonable. He said staff had reviewed the fees and recommendations included increase of some fees, decrease of some fees and deletion of other fees. Mr. Vine said the ordinance before Council was the recommendation of Staff.
