of Public Works and Safety.

23
00:02:34,520 --> 00:02:37,400
New business.

24
00:02:43,959 --> 00:02:49,360
» Rob Miller, building department.
Um

25
00:02:47,680 --> 00:02:54,840
associated with that rainstorm that we
had Saturday, we had a partial roof

26
00:02:51,160 --> 00:03:00,360
failure down at 63
East Washington Street. And I would like

27
00:02:57,360 --> 00:03:04,320
to get an order to appear for the owner
to come and talk about what his plans

28
00:03:02,880 --> 00:03:09,920
are at this point for the building
because we've had discussions with him

29
00:03:06,440 --> 00:03:17,600
about doing some work on the facade and,
you know, he says things and, you know,

30
00:03:13,160 --> 00:03:22,120
not a whole lot happens and so maybe you
all can get some more concrete answers

31
00:03:20,239 --> 00:03:27,600
out of him than what I've been able to
do at this point. Um he's got a couple

32
00:03:24,760 --> 00:03:30,920
of tenants that, you know,
I I don't know what they're going to do,

33
00:03:29,080 --> 00:03:34,080
but they can't work out of that space at
this point. Uh

34
00:03:32,760 --> 00:03:37,519
and so,
you know, we need to figure out in a

35
00:03:35,640 --> 00:03:42,239
fairly short order, you know, what we're
going to be doing down there.

36
00:03:40,120 --> 00:03:47,160
» What did you say his name was?
>> Uh John Oliver, I believe his name is.

37
00:03:47,600 --> 00:03:54,000
» Have you Have you deemed the I mean, the
the tenants down below there, have you

38
00:03:52,320 --> 00:03:57,840
told them they can't work here because
it the building's unsafe? Have you

39
00:03:55,520 --> 00:04:00,960
declared that building to be unsafe?
>> Uh

40
00:03:58,840 --> 00:04:04,640
yeah, I mean it's kind of one of those I
think they understand this. You know

41
00:04:02,800 --> 00:04:10,560
what I mean? But I I spoke with both of
them personally

42
00:04:06,520 --> 00:04:13,160
in person yesterday on site and you know
they just

43
00:04:11,760 --> 00:04:16,040
you know, that's their livelihood and
they do not know what they're going to

44
00:04:15,280 --> 00:04:19,359
do.
>> Is it Is it safe enough for them to get

45
00:04:18,040 --> 00:04:22,320
their equipment out of there if they
need to?

46
00:04:20,200 --> 00:04:26,440
» Yeah, it's it's safe enough for that.
You know what I mean? The roof fell, but

47
00:04:24,200 --> 00:04:30,680
there you know, the second floor
in my opinion is not at risk of falling

48
00:04:28,960 --> 00:04:33,320
down onto the first floor.
>> Okay.

49
00:04:31,360 --> 00:04:36,480
» You know, but obviously as we stand here
right now, another significant rainstorm

50
00:04:35,400 --> 00:04:40,080
would be
not very good.

51
00:04:38,280 --> 00:04:45,040
The power's shut off, so you know,
that's a

52
00:04:41,720 --> 00:04:49,280
small, you know, safety
measure that's been taken, but uh

53
00:04:47,160 --> 00:04:51,360
» Has the gas been shut off?
Do you know if the gas has been shut

54
00:04:50,800 --> 00:04:55,680
off?
>> I do not know that.

55
00:04:53,520 --> 00:04:59,360
» It probably should be, I would think.
Just in in the

56
00:04:57,680 --> 00:05:02,800
don't want a gas leak down there on top
everything else.

57
00:05:00,480 --> 00:05:02,800
» Mhm.

58
00:05:03,160 --> 00:05:08,080
But
>> I'll make a motion motion for the the

59
00:05:06,960 --> 00:05:10,880
owner [clears throat] of 63 East
Washington Street to appear before the

60
00:05:09,560 --> 00:05:13,560
board.
>> I second that.

61
00:05:12,080 --> 00:05:16,240
» Motion second. Is there any further
discussion?

62
00:05:16,840 --> 00:05:21,680
Anyone in the public wish to speak?
Brandy, come on.

63
00:05:22,263 --> 00:05:26,960
» [clears throat]
>> Thank you, Rod.

64
00:05:25,040 --> 00:05:32,880
» Good morning. Brandy Combs, executive
director of Main Street Shelbyville. Um

65
00:05:29,400 --> 00:05:36,440
63 East Washington was a grant recipient
um

66
00:05:34,480 --> 00:05:39,480
I believe 2023
uh

67
00:05:37,280 --> 00:05:42,919
and how our process works that you have
1 year from

68
00:05:41,000 --> 00:05:45,680
the time the grant starts to complete
work. If not, then you have to get an

69
00:05:44,480 --> 00:05:49,520
extension through our board of
directors.

70
00:05:46,960 --> 00:05:54,200
Um that project went on and on and he
like he tore it off and then never went

71
00:05:51,760 --> 00:05:58,520
back and put the facade back. So, after
a period of time I reached out, reached

72
00:05:56,400 --> 00:06:01,360
out, really got no reply.
Um,

73
00:05:59,560 --> 00:06:06,320
informed my board of directors that we
were um,

74
00:06:03,040 --> 00:06:08,920
you know, uh, voiding the uh, grant and
what we do in that case. If they don't

75
00:06:07,760 --> 00:06:11,880
get the work done, we just roll the
money over and put it in another

76
00:06:10,280 --> 00:06:15,480
project. So, that's no problem. I mean,
they were never awarded any funds.

77
00:06:14,400 --> 00:06:18,400
But, um,
I uh,

78
00:06:16,920 --> 00:06:23,320
you know, lost communication with him. I
got no replies, no replies. Um, John

79
00:06:20,720 --> 00:06:27,000
Oliver. And uh,
then uh,

80
00:06:24,720 --> 00:06:31,560
Tom, your uh, Reeves had to ask some
questions and so we've kind of went back

81
00:06:29,360 --> 00:06:33,480
and forth for now what, 3 years?
>> Probably.

82
00:06:31,919 --> 00:06:36,280
» No responses.
Um,

83
00:06:34,240 --> 00:06:39,520
I had heard that uh,
building and planning were inspect-

84
00:06:38,000 --> 00:06:43,320
inspecting it and working with him,
trying to get some answers. So, just on

85
00:06:41,520 --> 00:06:47,880
our part it's um,
it's disappointing to one, not get the

86
00:06:45,280 --> 00:06:53,000
grant work completed and two, to ruin a
building like that. Um,

87
00:06:50,040 --> 00:06:56,280
so, um, we would appreciate any efforts
you can do to back that up because we

88
00:06:54,520 --> 00:07:00,240
have no, you know, we know we have no
jurisdiction. We're just there as a

89
00:06:57,840 --> 00:07:03,360
non-profit, but um, we would love to see
that building saved and brought back to

90
00:07:01,960 --> 00:07:05,560
what it was.
>> Okay.

91
00:07:04,000 --> 00:07:09,560
Thank you.
Any further public comment?

92
00:07:08,080 --> 00:07:12,880
Hearing none, all in favor say I.
>> I.

93
00:07:09,919 --> 00:07:18,320
» I. Motion carries 3-0.
Any further new business?

94
00:07:16,400 --> 00:07:22,840
Entertain a motion to adjourn. So moved.
We're adjourned. Thank you all.

95
00:07:20,040 --> 00:07:22,840
Don't forget department
