City commissioners are set to pass their windows ordinance.
They're planning on voting for it tonight at their meeting.
Downtown building owners didnt come up with an alternative plan, so they are moving forward. There are some minor revisions. It will apply to the whole city and people will have a year to get it done, so it wont change the town overnight.
Basically it will outlaw boarding up windows.
There are some exceptions and there are means for applying for a special exception.
The biggest objection from downtown building owners is that they do not want someone telling them what to do.
I do believe strongly in individual rights, but i also believe in individual responsibility.
Also, we "are" the city. The city represents us. So if "the city" tells you to clean up your yard, its really all your neighbors telling you to clean up your yard.
Some people don't take care of their stuff, so we have to have minimum standards for that reason.

no one likes being told what to do , but if they cannot see that something needs to be done then someone has to tell them what to do , just ask Mr. Sheldon , it may be YOUR building but its OUR town
"just ask Mr. Sheldon"
