the building. Discussion ensued regarding the basement issues and Mr. Wierzbicki said he would like to
get a structural engineer in there to assess the building from back to front. He believes the front and back
of the building were built as two structures and “stitched together,” and from what he has seen, it looks
like part may have been built in the early to mid-1800’s and another portion in the latter part of that century.
Mr. Wierzbicki went on to discuss additional details of the building, acknowledging that that are a number
of things he will have to do in order to make the building safe (and habitable) again.

Mayor Tallman asked about a time frame, noting that after a structural engineer has had a chance to assess
the building, Mr. Wierzbicki should be able to establish a time frame.

Village Administrator Jason Cozza said that the Village Code allows for 60 days to complete the work after
the notice of dangerous building was given in January. He said that Mr. Wierzbicki will need to work with
Building Inspector Dave Rice and report back to the Board, which meets every other week, on the progress
he has made. The next meeting is Tuesday, February 17th, and the Board would like the first report by then.
Mr. Wierzbicki asked about getting a permit for the engineers to be able to dig around the property for the
assessment. Dave said he would issue the permit and they should come see him for that.

The hearing and the meeting were adjourned at 7:35 p.m.

Respectfully submitted,
