Meetings Act prohibits the board from
responding to any comments other than to
[2:15]
refer a matter to future agenda to an
existing policy or to make a statement
[2:21]
of factual information. claims against
the city board members or employees as
[2:26]

not appropriate for citizens for okay

addendum in it?
[5:53]
Okay. Um, and I will begin by saying
that uh you do know and I'm sure if
[6:00]
you've done these before that we uh they
do not recommend painting brick, but as
[6:06]
as you've said, sometimes it can't be
avoided and sometimes it's just better.
[6:13]
Uh, but we do ask that you use the
breathable paints
[6:19]
and
[6:32]
and being the OCD person I am, I can say
that I looked that up and it is a
[6:38]
breathable thing.
>> It is.
[6:45]
» We're still learning about those
actually.
[6:49]
increase the number that are available.
When used to they didn't have them.
[6:53]
Okay. Uh the uh windows are pretty much
are going to be the same. You're making
[6:59]
them fit the one the existing ones
>> and
[7:08]
energy efficient. Uh they are metal but
they are white powder coat.
[7:30]
doors and the doors of course will be
and you're painting this you're
[7:35]
replacing with
it the post out
[8:19]

Thank you, Mr.
[10:05]
Moving on to our next item.
We have a consideration for a
[10:14]
certificate of appropriateness for
improvements at 102 Pittsburgh Street.
[10:21]
For some reason, I'd forgotten where
Pittsburgh Street was.
[10:30]
Yeah. Or just
west or east there. Yeah.
[10:36]
Okay. So, uh who do May I get your name?
[10:43]
» Rachel.
[10:48]
» And you're the owner of the property.
>> Okay. Do you also live there?
[11:22]
Young lady, could you come to the mic. I
have trouble hearing.
[11:28]
» Sorry.
[12:01]
There is
[12:05]
a reason.
[12:39]
Okay. If you'd like to share those with
the board, we'll take a quick look.
[12:47]
That's the color.
[13:01]
Okay.
[13:27]
Okay. You're not changing the windows or
anything like that. Okay.
[13:46]
You own the other properties that are
along that road. Okay. Just that.
[13:54]
Of
[14:13]
course, all of those have the dos,
but there's
[14:20]
one to the north of there that does
And so, you know, it's not a president
[14:28]
situation on that. There's lots of shade
in that area there. And so,
[14:37]
roof shouldn't be too much of a problem.
[15:12]
question.
[15:18]
» I said being a duplex and you know
rental property it is you know we want
[15:24]
to make sure that they are maintained as
well as our privately owned.
[15:37]
All right. Uh, that being said, if
there's no more questions for Miss Paula
[15:42]
about this project, entertain a motion
to approve a certificate of
[15:49]
appropriateness.
[15:53]
You make the motion. Okay. Bobby has
made the motion.
[16:05]
made the motion. Billy Jordan has
seconded the motion uh to award the
[16:10]
certificate of appropriateness for the
project at
[16:16]
102
Pittsburgh Street here in Mount Vernon.
[16:21]
It's a duplex as presented with the
change in the roof, addition of the
[16:29]
fresh posts and paint. Okay.
>> All right. All those in favor.
[16:36]
» I
oppose. You have a
[16:41]
rousing approval.
As I said, it's it's important
[16:47]
to the city as a whole, I think, to make
sure that properties are given the
[16:52]
attention they do. Thank you for
stepping in
[17:06]
and maint
[17:11]
Thank you.
[17:15]
Okay.
Can I just I'm gonna add this to the
[17:31]
do we have anything from the board? I
will ask that needs to be
[17:36]
Next
[17:44]
secretary, do we have anything in
upcoming?
[17:50]
Nothing at this time. Okay. I will say
that uh I had talked with the lady uh
[17:59]
that would made the withdrawal because
they had not
[18:05]
completed I told her would probably be
required and she
[18:10]
in that she would need to
[18:17]
make sure that what was going behind it
wasn't visible.
[18:22]
We got at least two that I can think of
that either metal buildings or metal
[18:28]
containers that are behind
[18:33]
privacy fencing.
[18:36]
So, we might have that in the coming
weeks
[18:41]
depending on
[19:01]
» a little slow down.
>> Slow down.
[19:09]
Okay, there's nothing else for the good
of I
[19:14]
open for a
