the Historical Association, along with various other members of
other neighborhood associations (Rose Gregory, Sue Tharp, Julie
Ford, Mike Ward, Charles Simpson, Gladman Humbles), held a
discussion with Mayor Jones concerning the city's demolition
policy, particularly historic structures. Mr. Haley asked the
Commission to stop immediately all demolition plans involving
historic buildings and asked that properties scheduled for ✓�;
demolition, especially in the historic zones, be reviewed by the
Historical & Architectural Commission. They also asked for
public hearings before demolition of historic structures and
asked that condemnation orders be issued from the Inspection
Department instead of the Fire Marshal's Office. Mr. Raley also
suggested that the Historical Society be designated as the task
J force to work with the city in seeking solutions other than
demolition for historic structures. The following
neighborhoods/associations were referenced during the above
discussion: Lowertown, Downtown, Jefferson Street, Fountain
Avenue, Farley Place, and Dollartown.
Mayor Jones told the group he will meet with anyone who is
willing to talk to him about this, but he will not put a "hold"
on structures designated for demolition by the Fire Marshal. He
further stated that he will talk with groups about demolition
alternatives. He said city funds cannot be used to repair
property for people who are not willing to take care of their
own property. He also said he cannot tell the Fire Marshal or
the Inspection Department to decrease demolitions if they
(demolitions) fit within the definition of the law. He told the
delegation to contact Mrs. Operle in his office on Monday,
December 2, to make arrangements to meet with him and told them _
to bring a plan with them to the meeting.
Each City Commissioner made brief statements concerning this
matter.
Fire Department Relief Driver Gregory Buchanan, former safety
inspector in the Fire Department, addressed the Commission
concerning the condemnations he made during his tenure as safety
