including all items. This Sunday will be advertising in Paris News with a Pre Bid

December 7th at 2:00 pm at the City Council Chambers. Contractors will have 60

0342
4. Discussion and possible action on the airport securiry gate.
Jerry Richey, Airport Manager stated we need to review the policy on the security gate.
Once we close the gate going back to the card system is going to be hard, people lose
them, then it takes up to two weeks to get them programmed. Mr. Richey further stated it
would be better to go to a pin number system and do away with the card system. Vic
Ressler asked would this be a common code or custom to the user. Mr. Richey explained
it would be better to be a common code. Ray Ball asked on the law enforcement side do
you need to know who comes and goes. Jerry Richey stated no we really wouldn't we
have cameras that log that information. Steve Gilbert asked if you could program the
cards yourself would that help with the process. Jerry Richey stated defiantly I could
immediately issue the cards; however, the key pin would be cheaper and quicker to do.
Motion was made b_y Vic Ressler, seconded by Fred Williams to go back to a key pad
system at the security gate. Motion carried 7-0.
5. Report, discussion and possible action on the findings of the subcommittee regarding an
open house/fly-in at the airpor•t.
Ray Ball made report to board members. Mr. Ball stated as I stated in the last meeting we
are looking at April and possibly OctoberlNovember depending on the completion of the
runway project. As of right now we will have to wait until March and at that time we
should have a good idea of how the project is going with a possible completion date. We
have a commitment from budget for funds from PEDC and the City of Paris. Mr. Ball
further stated he wanted to get Jack Ashmore as a past member because he has a lot of
experience with this kind of event.
6. Report, from Jerry Richey, Airport Manager.
A. Recent Runway light issue.
Papi lights are suppose to be thru by December 14'h. The same people are doing
the Papi lights that did the runway lights, they are a little slow but they have done a

Mr. McCleskey stated he wants to replace the existing roof with a 30 year shingle. The
30 year shingle does not come in the white color that he currently has on his roof,

4. Discussion of and possible action on modifying the Design Guidelines to permit a flora
polymer paint coated aluminum clad wood window as an option for window replacenaent
in the Historic District.
Paul Denney lead discussion stating this is driven by the possibility of replacing the store
front windows on the City Hall building. Most of the windows face a west sun load and
keeping the new age paint which lacks lead will be a real problem. Mr. Denney further
stated he has invited two coinpanies that can make a presentation regarding window
replacement. He contacted the Marvin window company and the Weather Shield
Company. Because of the issues with the vinyl clad window deteriorating after continued
direct sun exposure, we should consider allowing the aluminum clad wood window as an
option. Chairman Starrett asked if Mr. Denney had been contracted by the City of Paris
to do the work on City Hall and if so, will this come back to the commission for approval.
Mr. Denney stated yes he would be bringing this item back at some point. Chairman
Starrett further stated since we do not have any photos to review shouldn't we wait to
approve the window. Mr. Denney asked do we want to invite several window
companies to make a presentation to the commission prior to approval. The
Commissioners determined this item will need to come back at the March meeting and
include a presentation from several window companies prior to approving a window
design. No action taken.
5. Discussion of and possible action on approving a standard shop built all wood painted
window as presented by Glen Wark of Glen War-k Construction.for• the Historic District.
Glen Wark stated that he will be replacing the majority of the windows at the building
located directly behind the CVS Pharmacy. Paul Denney had requested that Mr. Wark
bring in a sample of the window for possible commission review and approval as a
standard historic wood window to be used in the Historic District. Mr. Wark went over
the wood window design for the commission. Chairman Starrett stated that all window
replacements will have to come to the commission for approval. Motion was made Paul
Denney, seconded by David Stewart to approve the window design. Motion carried 7-0.

$680,000.00 creating 38 jobs. Ms. Bedford further reviewed the report for the

5. Deliberate and aet on a plan of action for dealing with substaradard structures zn the City
of Paris.
A. Spj°eadsheet
Committee members came up with 5 recommendations that will be forwarded to City
Council.
- Recommend City Council budget monies to address engineering studies, or
City repair of property
- Recommend adoption of the Flow chart
- Recommend adoption of the Tracking spreadsheet - prioritizing properties,
tracking progress, reporting status, and posting online
- Recommend City Attorney look at the BSC and HPC ordinance, amending the
BSC ordinance allowing HPC to refer already designated Historic Structures
to BSC for repair
- Recommend becoming a court of record; or get support from an existing court
Committee members discussed the need to react to properties that have received damage
due to fire. Members stated properties are being allowed to sit for long periods of time
before BSC gets involved. Committee members recommended BSC work closely with
the fire department, making structures with fire damage a priority and getting them to
BSC quickly in order to get them repaired.
There was a lengthy discussion between committee members; Kent McIlyar, City
Attorney; and John Lestock, Assistant City Attorney regarding fines vs. civil penalties.
Mr. Lestock stated in the public, the press, the community and in this meeting there is a
misconception between a fine and a civil penalty. A fine is criminal in nature and can
only be assessed by a judge or a jury in a municipal, district, or county court of law. The
Building and Standards Commission can assess a civil penalty; that is not criminal and
it's not a fine, the ordinance is very clear it's a civil penalty as part of a Building and
Standards order. Civil penalties can be enforced after a civil lawsuit is filed in county or
district court as a part on an order from BSC. As a result of the civil penalty, a lien is
placed on the property, once the liens reach a certain amount, the city can place a civil
judgment in district or county court. Committee members discussed becoming a court
of record and what would be involved. John Lestock stated a court of record must be
enacted either by City Council or State legislature. Kent McIlyar recommended a court
of record, since the county courts are not taking cases seriously.
Motion was made by Richard Grossnickle, seconded by Don Wilson to send the list of
recommendations to City Council for consideration. Motion carried 8-0.
B. Funding opportunities to help property ownef-s.
Committee members discussed different funding opportunities to help property owners.
Recommendations included:
0 45
- Tax Abatement
- Low interest loans
- Increase Fagade grant amount for Historic District properties
- Designate certain areas as "Empowerment Zones"
- Local contribution fund for repairs from business
- Recommend City Council move from 4A to 4B
Motion was made by Gene Anderson, seconded by Richard Grossnickle to summarize
ideas consolidate and bring them back to Task Force at the next meeting. Motion carried
8-0.

3. Public hearing and consideration of'and action on the Site Plan for Richard B. Rooney on
Lot 1, Block A, Water Tower Place CB 258 Addition, being number 625 25 `h Street N.E.
Public hearing was declared open.
A. The following individuals spoke in favor of the petition.
Dick Rooney, 3620 Summer Hill, property owner, spoke in favor of the petition.
Mr. Rooney stated the development sits on roughly one acre of land and will consist
of 11 units; two quad units and one triplex. The units will be single story two
bedroom, two baths; there will be a front and back door with adequate lighting.
Chairman Chalaire asked if this is going to be single story brick construction. Mr.
Rooney stated yes it would be brick veneer. Commissioner Akers asked what will
the street on the north side be used as. Mr. Rooney stated that the hammer head
or T shown on the site plan is for the fire department to use to turn around.
B. No one spoke in opposition.
Charles Morrisman, 2440 Highland Road, property owner, stated he is not opposed
to the development; he just had concerns regarding drainage. He stated the back
side of our property floods, what will they do to address the flooding issues that
already exist in the neighborhood. Shawn Napier stated that this site does have a
detention pond to help slow down the water, which is required. Chairman Chalaire
stated that the water flow will be directed to 25`h Street N.E. and the detention pond
which will slow down the water; so the water flow will not increase, it will remain
the same as it was prior to development.
Motion was made by Keith Flowers, seconded by Jerry Akers to approve the Site Plan,
subject to the City Engineer's recommendations. Motion carried 5-0.
4. Consideration of and action on the Preliminary Plat of Lots 1 and 2, Block B, Morningside
North #2 Addition, being located at 4200 Block of Lamar Avenue.
Shawn Napier, City Engineer, stated Mr. Glass brought in an updated preliminary plat with
all of the recommendations addressed except for item 2, the 5 feet right of way dedication.
Mr. Glass submitted a letter for the 5 foot right of way dedication. David Glass stated
the transaction called for a 28 foot ingress/egress easement. Shawn Napier stated this is
much larger than what he called for originally. Chairman Chalaire stated effectively what
they are asking for is an exception to item 2 of the Engineer's memo for the 5 foot right of
way dedication. Chairman Chalaire asked when this property was originally platted in
1988 was the major thoroughfare plan in place. Shawn Napier stated he was unable to
find one for that time, if there was one in place. David Glass stated he didn't see a written
document, however at that time we were required to put 42nd to connect to Morningside
and line in curb to Lamar. There was a thoroughfare plan in effect at that time, the City
did opt out of participating in the plan, or participate financially to widen the road to the 60
