verify that information. HWH will only be removing the sides of the structure, the
roof looks to be a support structure for the fire escape, therefore they are afraid to
remove it, and the fire escape could fall. There will be further investigation regarding
the roof as they go forward. Motion was made by Ben Vaughan, seconded by Jerry
