Troy

Mayor Lou Rosamilia and two key members of his administration said Thursday night they learned of the emergency King Street demolition when they came to work Aug. 5, 2013.

Rosamilia, Deputy Mayor Peter Ryan and Corporation Counsel Ian Silverman described the same set of events surrounding the razing of 4-6-8-10 King St.

Their nearly three hours of testimony occurred during the final hearing held by the City Council on the demolition.

They didn't address the demolition work at the King Fuels Site in South Troy as Council President Rodney Wiltshire said the council had wrapped up its questioning about that.

The emergency demolition was done privately by a contractor hired by Donald Boyajian, the owner of the King Street buildings, as well as 2 King St., which houses Bombers Burrito Bar.

The three top city officials described how they learned of the emergency minutes before they went into their Monday morning staff meeting.

They spoke how Boyajian was contacted; the razing of the building; and how the city did not have a contract with a consulting engineer to fill in for former City Engineer Russ Reeves, who was on vacation.

Wiltshire said the testimony cleared up some timeline issues.

He said there are still questions about what happened in the weeks and month before the demolition.

Victoria city Coun. Pamela Madoff opposes the Anglican dioceses application for a demolition permit for the Cathedral School on Niagara Street.

The Anglican Diocese of B.C. has applied for a demolition permit of a heritage building in Victoria, causing uproar in the James Bay community.

The St. James Mission of Christ Church Cathedral School, located at 520 Niagara St. is on the citys heritage registry, but it is not legally protected as a heritage site.

Bishop Logan McMenamie said the Anglican diocese would like the school to be taken off the heritage registry completely in order to increase its value. He said the city put the building on the registry without the dioceses permission.

We have a building thats not safe, McMenamie said. Its not seismically upgraded.

City Coun. Pamela Madoff said the diocese is eligible to apply for a grant to get seismic upgrades on the building but has not expressed interest.

Its not worth our value to spend the money on the building on Niagara to bring it up to seismic upgrades, McMenamie said. Wed like to use the money from there to seismically upgrade [The Cridge] Memorial Hall, which is a heritage building.

On Aug. 19, city staff conducted a heritage inspection on the building and concluded it was in sound condition.

The Anglican church initially submitted the application for the demolition of the school on Dec. 30, 2013. Despite this, McMenamie said the church does not want to see the building demolished.
