After discussion, a motion was made by Councilman Booth for preparation of an Ordinance amending Section 28.8(f) of the City of Paris Code of Ordinance prohibiting billboard signs inside the Loop right -of -way of Loop 286. The motion failed for lack of a second. Mike Folmar, 433 W. Washington Street, appeared before the Council speaking as a concern citizen of West Paris, stating that if the Council votes and take action on doing away with the current request for housing as currently requested, moving to Section 8 going into private ownership. Mr. Folmar requested that some type of provisions be made so that you would give West Paris Citizens some protection from having all of the sites of the private ownership from being in West Paris. Mr. Folmar said he sees the land being lower in cost in West Paris, and that is where private citizens will be purchasing land or houses, and requested that the Council give this consideration in their decision. Billy Trenado appeared before the Council requesting the heading of the petition submitted by Mr. Salas be read out loud. Mayor Clifford read the heading of the petition as follows: 1. Seek and act on the process of providing alternative housing other than Projectization such as Section 8. 2. Upon acting on the above cancel the request for projectization housing and return the money. 3. Remove the persons in the Paris Housing Authority Board and its director, for intentionally disrupting the expected due process, creating undue anxiety by blaming government agencies of strong -arm tactics, misinforming the citizens and most importantly NOT facilitating the timely, adequate and appropriate housing for the economically disadvantaged. Abdication of this petition will result in action to recall the Council. There being no further business, the meeting adjourned. ATTEST: TTIE CUNNINGHAM, CITY CLERK
