1. The chairman called the meeting to order at 4:03 P.M.
2. The minutes of the July 11, 2018 meeting were approved by acclamation.
3. Discussion and possible action on the following Certificates of Appropriateness
HD -15 418 W. Washington, Wise House -Roof replacement, Justin Vickers
Mr. Vickers appeared as the representative of the property owner, and is the caretaker of the house. He
stated there were multiple leaks in the roof and it was doing damage to the interior of the house. He stated
that the owner of the property had investigated the use of the cedar shingles, and the option was not only
cost prohibitive, but the owners had a lot trouble finding anyone who would install the cedar shingles, nor
would any insurance companies insure the property with cedar shingles. The owner is requesting to put
on a high profile shingle, similar to the historic home across the street, in the color green.
Chairman Dux spoke to the fact that water penetrating the roof is the quickest way to destroy a building.
He gave Mr. Vickers a copy of an article on the advantages, disadvantages and cost comparison of
different type roofs and longevity and asked him to review it, along with the NPS preservation briefs on
wooden roofs before he replaces the roof. He also advised that the asphalt shingles will diminish the value
of the property the minute it is put on.
Commissioner Hider made the motion to approve the use of the Timberline high definition asphalt
shingles in hunter green, seconded by Commissioner Lazar. Chairman Dux made an amendment that the
shingles be approved with the shingles presented or a higher profile, due to the importance to the
character of the structure, in which Commissioner Hider agreed. With no other discussion, a call for a
vote was made. Motion carried S - 0
B. 507 S. Church, replacement siding, Hunter Moore
Mr. Moore explained that his house was built in the late 1800's and was a two story house, but the second
story was remove at some point, creating some roof lines that dump excessive water on the west facing
facade of the house and causing deterioration of the current siding. Mr Moore proposed to replace it with
cedar shingles as an accent siding, and painting it with the appropriate color. He noted examples of cedar on
the existing carriage house that belongs with the property, and on the neighboring house.
Mr. Moore further explained that the type of siding that is currently on the house is no longer available, and
the more modern type of this siding doesn't have the same profile. Mr. Moore researched the wood mill in

Mr. Moore further explained that the type of siding that is currently on the house is no longer available, and
the more modern type of this siding doesn't have the same profile. Mr. Moore researched the wood mill in
Dekalb, Texas for the cost of duplicate siding, but found it cost prohibitive as the expense would include a
new knife, set fee, and oversized wooden pieces. Mr. Moore considered removing some siding from the back of the
house, but concluded there weren't enough sizes andpieces to work. Chairman Dux asked the commission if they
had further questions, and called for a motion. A motion was made by Glee Emmite, seconded by Randy Hider to
approve the use of the cedar shingles on the west facing fagade, limited to the area around the set of windows and
not to include under the porch. Motion carried 5 — 0
C. 17 Clarksville ST- Facade repair/replacement- Janet Green
D. 21 Clarksville ST. Fagade repair/replacement- Janet Green
E. 27 Clarksville St. Removal of slipcover, and repair of existing historic facade -Janet
Green
17 Clarksville: Mrs. Green is determining how to finish out the lower portion of the fa(ade after removing the
slip cover, and exposing the transom windows. She plans to repair the original transom. She showed pictures of
different types of store fronts around downtown. Herproposal includes recessing the storefront approximately 5
feet and to include a configuration of two double doors flanking a single door in the middle, and the door design
that looked similar to a bulkhead. The doors would either be recycled ore purchased, and ifpurchased they will
be using fiberglass. Above each door would be another three sets of short wide windows to fill in the space.
Commissioner Dux asked if the transom windows were three sets of 4 windows each, and if so, recommended that
the placement of the doors all align with the division of the transom for symmetry. Mrs. Green said that was the
intention. A motion was made to approve the Certificate of Appropriateness as presented by Commissioner
Emmite, seconded by Commissioner Vandiver, motion carried 5 — 0.
21 Clarksville: The upper windows story windows were discussed first, and Mrs. Green said she was getting
prices on the 4 over one window configuration, and asked if this was required. Chairman Dux said it would be
preferable to have this since this is what was on the building originally, but if it was not available, it would be
acceptable to do a one over one. Mrs. Green said she would continue to research the one over one as she liked
that look as well. Mrs. Green proposed two drawings One included a traditional storefront, having one large
door in the center, and two display windows and bulkhead. She also proposed the double door with divided light,
and the divided light display windows. A motion was made to approve the traditional storefront design by
Commissioner Vandiver seconded by Commissioner Emmite, motion carried 5 — 0. Mrs. Green would wait to
see what the design professionals come up with when the visit on August 10, 2018, and may return with the new
information.
27 Clarksville: Mrs Green presented pictures of the transom windows and the rear of the building under the slip
cover. She is concerned with the roof line, and how it may look on the historic building, but wanted to receive
approval to remove the slip cover from the commission in the event she request a grant. A motion was made to
approve the Certificate of Appropriateness to remove the faVade by Commissioner Emmite, seconded by
Commissioner Vandiver, seconded by Commissioner Emmite, motion carried 5 - 0
F. 104 Bonham St.
There was not one present to answer questions about this certificate of appropriateness, so it was unclear if the
applicant was trying to mitigate apotentialproblem, or looking for a morepermanent repair to theproperty to
hold the terracotta and cast stone pieces on the parapet wall shelf.
After discussion, Chairman Dux made the motion to approve the Certificate of Appropriateness with the
contingency that the application of tar paper or other substance to hold the terracotta and cast stone parapet wall
together is a temporary measure to mitigate further deterioration or pieces of stone falling. Commissioner
Lazar asked what the definition of temporary. Commissioner Hider asked how the tarpaper would actually keep
pieces from falling offfrom the wall. Commissioner Dux explained that the owner was attempting to support the
terracotta/cast stone similar to duct tape. He also clarified his motion to include the definition of temporary.
Motion to approve the use of the tar paper with the contingency that the property owner will submit to the
commission within 60 days the detailedplan for when permanent repairs they are going to take place and what
exactly the permanent repairs will be. Motion seconded by Glee Emmite, motion carried 5 - 0
4. Commissioner Emmite and Chairman Dux shared highlights from the NAPC forum.
a. Main Street: a proven approach, and how vacant properties do create a loss of revenue for downtown.
b. Surveys, and demolition by neglect, and how people leave properties to deteriorate, and that maybe there is a
need to help people who want to restore their properties
c. Education is important to getpeople involved in a friendly way, maybe a rehab club, and maybe training with
younger kids to develop an appreciation for historic preservation
d. Chairman Dux recommended the members if at all possible attend a forum.
e. Chairman Dux shared about a town who had a partnership with a non-profit entity and set up an endowment
fund for preservation, or make loans to property owners.
f. Chairman Dux share that he was impressed the training, and there were a multitude ofprograms that would
be beneficial. One of his sessions was the economic impact of maintaining the historic downtowns, and how it
can really improve the community's value.
s. Outreach plan:
The commission discussed a potential mitigation plan for the stained glass windows on the church/home located
at 442 S. Main.

2. Citizens Forum — No one present for forum
3. July minutes — Jane Helberg asked for an explanation of the addresses mentioned in #4, Section B. The address
17/21 Clarksville Street was corrected to 17 & 21 Clarksville Street. The converted space at that address has been
restored to the original two buildings with separate addresses. A motion to approve the July 10, 2018 meeting
minutes with the correction was made by John Brazile, second by Kevin Ashmore, motion carried.
4. A motion was made by Glee Emmite to nominate John Brazile as the Promotions Chair. A second was made by
Laurie Redus, motion carried.
5. Committee discussion —
A. Design — Glee Emmite reported that she attended the National Association of Preservation Commission
Forums in Des Moines, Iowa along with Cheri Bedford and Chris Dux. They toured the Salisbury Mansion and the
Iowa State Capitol building the first day there. At the Forum, morning and afternoon sessions were available for the
group to attend a variety of topics based on need/interest. Glee attended the Main Street session entitled "The
Important Catalyst for Rural Revitalization." The Main Street model discussed in the session was the same model
currently used in Paris. Materials and packets were brought back to share with appropriate individuals. One
important concept learned was the importance of sharing and communicating Historic Preservation notes especially
with people who own vacant properties in downtown Paris. Newsletters would be an effective way to communicate
information and grant opportunities that are available. One session focused on the amount of lost downtown
revenue from vacant buildings and other revenue sources such as living spaces built above the businesses. With the
Toole Design Group in town, Paris is at the crest of expansive downtown revitalization activities.
B. Promotions — Chair John Brazile reported that the Promotions Committee would meet immediately following
the Main Street Meeting. Discussion would include Mannequin Night, Market Square Affair and Pumpkin Festival.
New members of the Main Street Committee were invited to volunteer on the Promotions Committee.
C. Organization — Chair Laurie Redus reported that she would meet next week with Cheri Bedford to go over the
parts of the Organization work plan. Laurie will be working to add new members to the committee as well as
getting a robust sign-up method for volunteers. Glee mentioned that a pool of volunteers is very important for
events such as the Market Square event scheduled for September 15, 2018.
D. Chamber & VCC — Becky Semple was not present for a report.
E. Paris Downtown Association — Glee Emmite, President of PDA, reported the group met to discuss supporting
Main Street's Mannequin Night which is scheduled for October 20, 2018 with Jill Awtrey chair of the event. Prizes
will be awarded by PDA for Best Window and Best Mannequin. At dark, the movie Halloween Night will be shown
in the bum -out space with free admission and parking. On August 3, 2018, PDA organized an Ice Cream Social
with approximately 150 people attending. Downtown stores were open and serving ice cream and sodas. The ice
cream was provided by each individual business.
F. Economic Vitality — Chair Kevin Ashmore reported that a committee meeting will be scheduled in the near
future with Mike Kennedy of HWH and other members to be added. The Chair explained that the purpose of the
Economic Vitality Committee is to bring more businesses to downtown and to encourage other businesses to
locate/relocate in the downtown space. Jane Helberg mentioned that she recently hoped to purchase a building
downtown but had to locate away from downtown because of the need for 18 parking spaces when her entire staff
attends a meeting.
Updates on the status of nominations for various awards:
• Glee Emmite: Best Downtown Partner — Peoples Bank, submitted in July for the President's Award (Texas
Downtown Association)
• Kevin Ashmore: South Main Iron — Best Commercial Interior The business is owned by Ryan and Chris
Whitaker and sells "previously enjoyed motorcycles." This business proves that downtown can be a popular and
profitable location. They created a "destination business" targeting a radius of a 3 -hour drive. The work on the
nomination for the President's Award (Texas Downtown Association) is still in progress.
• Laurie Redus: Texas Treasure Award — Texas Furniture (Nominee must be in business 50+ years.) The work
on the nomination is still in progress with no deadline on submission. The business was previously owned by Frank
Weaver and now owned by the Anthony family. Information is being gathered about both owners and locations.
The nomination will be submitted in the next few weeks to the Texas Historical Commission.
6. Main Street Manager's Report — Cheri Bedford
• Many ideas were brought back from the conference in Des Moines, Iowa. Discussions have taken place on
ways to reach out to residential and business owners downtown. Owners need to know that Paris is part of the
National Historical Register for both residential and the downtown district. This makes the properties eligible for
lots of things such as 17, 21 and 27 Clarksville Street owned by Janet Green. With the upper facade being removed
in July, Cheri Bedford is working with an officer from the Texas Historical Commission National Register to have
the buildings added as "contributing buildings" to the downtown. This designation means it will become eligible for
federal and state tax incentives.
• Marie Oehlerking-Read from the Texas Main Street design staff visited with Cheri Bedford and Janet Green to
discuss ideas for the new store front at 17 and 21 Clarksville Street. The goal is for the new lower store front to be
restored to a more historical look. Marie Oehlerking-Read also visited with Chris Dux at the location he is currently
renovating.
• Moffit Financial is in the final phase of the renovation on the west side of the plaza.
• The vacant property registry went into effect July 23, 2018. There are 40 properties identified for the registry.
Six have registered as of now with a deadline of October 23, 2018. The registry includes the following: emergency
contact(s), building information, plans for building and building caretakers. Each building must have a correct 911
address, and the owners must provide liability insurance. A fee will be charged for vacant buildings because it
devalues the rest of downtown. The fees will go into a grant to improve the downtown district.
• Henry Printing is being gutted by HWH with a prospect for new tenants.
• Cheri Bedford is working with the city's engineering department since the Pumpkin Festival will be moved to
Bywaters Park and adjacent streets due to road construction downtown. The layout for the festival has to be
designed to fit the park.
• Hatch Chile Fest will be at Market Square September 1, 2018. They will roast 2,400 pounds of chiles
downtown. Games and a hamburger stand will be part of the mini -festival. Volunteers will be needed.
• The roof has been finished at 127 Lamar Avenue. The Main Street Committee will present the BIG check to
Lucy Funk, owner, in the near future.
• The Toole Design Firm is in Paris this week. The public meeting will be Thursday, August 14, 2018 in the
upstairs meeting room. Everyone is encouraged to attend and bring friends to view the plans for the downtown.
• Market Square Affair will be September 15, 2018. Tickets are available on line for this family -style dinner
event with all local foods being served. There are 100 tickets available. Volunteers are needed to set-up the event
and serve the dinner. Proceeds will be used for placing heaters in the public restrooms at Splash Park so that they
can be operational during the winter months.
• Cheri Bedford will be submitting the 10 Criteria Report in October 2018. All Main Street committees must have
a meeting with the minutes submitted to Cheri Bedford prior to the deadline in October.
• Glee Emmite requested that the Main Street Work Program be placed on the agenda for the September 11, 2018
meeting.
• John Brazile reported that South Main Caf6 has plans to remodel the inside and outside of the building plus add
landscaping. They want to be part of the Paris downtown revitalization initiative.

Owner: Michael Fagan, 1034 19th NW, Paris TX 75460
Robert Talley stated no contact with owner. Could probably be repaired, but
don't believe owner will do it. Owner has told neighbor he won't be doing
anything to the house. City has filed lien against this property for removing a
tree that fell onto the house. Knocked small amount of roof covering off, but
don't know extent of damage caused. Looking through windows, does not
appear roof is leaking.
Robert Talley's recommendation: Declare a nuisance, repair within 90
days, or back to BSC.
Stephanie Harris — If a property can be repaired, don't believe we can issue
demo orders, whether the owner will do the repairs or not.
Q — If we don't have access to the condition inside, how can this commission
determine the "reasonable" repairs?
A — Believe we have to rely on the Code Enforcement Supervisor to determine if
repairs are reasonable.
Motion made by Johnny Norris, seconded Ken Kohls by to accept Robert's
recommendation. Motion carried unanimously. 5-0
4. Code Enforcement update.
Demolition list (pending) provided to BSC.

Governing Hoard Minutes
Love Civic Center
Present: Curtis Fendley, Pam Anglin, Troy Scholl, Austin Anthony, Dave Cook, Renae Stone, Greg Wilson, Chip
McEwin and Linda Kapp.
Staff: Gina Crawford, Becky Semple, Randy Nation, Kem Wright, Jon McFadden
Curtis Fendley called the meeting to order at 4:01 pm.
A motion to approve the May minutes was made by Austin Anthony, seconded by Pam Anglin. All approved.
Greg Wilson gave an overview of the May Financials, they were accepted into the minutes.
Curtis Fendley stated he asked for a bid from contractors for the upcoming renovations of the Love Civic Center,
He received bids from Archer Construction and WRA. It was decided to take Archer Constructions proposal to the
Executive Board of the Lamar County Chamber of Commerce. The proposal consisted of approximately $8,000 for
a preconstruction evaluation fee and 101 of the total construction. They expect the cost to be $650,000 to 1.2
million. Jon McFadden added that the audio, video, lighting and HVAC control RFP was issued May 25`" and
proposals are due July 161'.
Randy Nation stated that he would like to plan an AED/CPR class for LCC and Chamber Staff and any board
member that is interested. He will schedule a date.
The trolley barn is still having mold and mildew issues and a bid was submitted to install a louvered ventilation
system for $2800 plus electrical installation. Only one bid was submitted. The cost of repair may be offset by a
$300 damage claim resulting from a trailer being backed into the side of the building last July. A vent or fan will be
installed in the area of the damage rather than replacing the damaged metal panel. A motion to approve was
made by Pam Anglin, seconded by Troy Scholl, all approved.
Randy Nation stated that the bike kiosk was vandalized. Three bike locks were broken during the night. The
perpetrators broke the bikes free and went for a ride across the civic center parking lot. A police officer came
through but did not see the perpetrators but his presence scared there off. The officer did submit their license
plate to dispatch. A report was filed, video has been provided to police and investigation is underway.
Replacement locks have been ordered. Randy Nation suggested we install a new light and possible awing over the
bike kiosk. Curtis Fendley stated that we would add that to the proposal for construction and let the contractor
decide what would work best. Randy will seek bids to improve lighting on the area_ It was the consensus of the
board to reduce rental hours from 24/7 availability to 6 am to approximately sunset. This information will be
provided to the police department so they will know when bikes shouldn't be in use.
Randy Nation created a survey for events held at the civic center. This survey will go to all renters of the civic
center and will provide feedback on how the event went, cleanliness of civic center and any other information they
provide.
The next meeting will be held on September 13, 2018.
Meeting adjourned at 4:28 pm.
