~~~ ................. Councilman Bryant asked the council to address the matter concerning the properties at 39 W. Main and 101 W. South, owned by Doug Turner. August 20, 2003 is the deadline for Mr. Turner to have the roof redone and windows and siding replaced at 39 W. Main. Mr. Turner has not completed the work. Tim Currens stated that the town's options are to have the property repaired and to file a lien on the property to recover the cast of the repairs or to give Mr. Turner additional time to complete the repairs and charge fines if the repairs are not done in the time allowed. Joe Beikman estimated the cost of the repairs to be at least $45,000 to $50,000. Joe Beikman, along with an engineer, has looked at the property from the outside and determined it to be structurally sound. Councilman Bryant asked what the process was to claim imminent domain over the property. Tim Cun:ens replied that you would have to show public need plus get appraisals for the property. Councilman Bryant asked Tim Currens to check rota the procedure of immanent domain and report at the next meeting. President Dolen stated he would like someone to inspect the structure on the inside as well. President Dolen and Councilman Bryant both stated they have no interest in spending taxpayer money to repair the property. Tim Currens stated that since the council does not want to spend money to repair the property, the wise thing to do would be to add civil penalties for the work not being completed. He also stated that Joe Beikman, being the enforcement authority would have to make the final decision but thought the council should be apprised of the situation. President Dolen .asked if the fines could be started after August 20 or if they would have to go back to court. Tim Currens replied they would have to go back to court and give Mr. Turner another deadline. The matter will be discussed again aC the next meeting.
