Lisa Wright reported to the Board that Community <br />Development has been working on a volunteer initiative called Paris Area <br />Code Enforcers (PACE) that enlists neighborhood volunteers to help locate <br />code violations throughout the city.

Pike Burkhart and Zach Saffle volunteered to get with <br />Bethany Golden to look at sign placement. Lisa Wright reported to the Board <br />that the City had submitted a Heritage Tourism grant specifically to place way- <br />finding signs into the downtown and historic areas. <br />“-Market Square <br />•Review ordinance for rules and restrictions of specific <br />goods sold <br />•New signage <br /> <br />
