Receive quarterly demolition report from Code Enforcement. <br />Code Enforcement Supervisor Robert Talley gave a report that included October - <br />December 2024, which resulted in six structures being demolished. He also reported that eight <br />structures were demolished between January -March 2025. Mr. Talley said $38,258.17 had been <br />spent and the total funds remaining were $111,741.83. <br />Mayor Pankaj asked if there was anything Council could do to help code. Mr. Talley <br />said he could better answer that as they get closer to budget time. Mayor Pro -Tem Savage noted <br />there were not very many structures demolished in West Paris and inquired as to why. Mr. Talley <br />said he could not really answer that but would look into it and would try to prioritize on the West <br />side. He said there currently were twelve work orders open. Mayor Pro -Tem Savage asked Mr. <br />Talley if he could send him the list of work orders and Mr. Talley said he would do so. Council <br />Member Kessel asked how many were left on the demolition list and Mr. Talley said forty-six <br />or forty-seven, and that weather played a big factor in demolition. <br />24. Consider and approve future events for City Council and/or City Staff pursuant to <br />Resolution No. 2004-081. <br />Mayor Pro -Tem Savage said he thought that City Council needed to stick to policy about <br />the two minutes under citizens' forum. He also said this should not have been allowed to happen <br />and specifically the bashing of City Staff. Mayor Pro -Tem Savage said they needed to revisit <br />the policy. <br />Mayor Pankaj said he would like to receive an update in one or two meetings about the <br />Lone Star Project.
