Set out a separate can with a bag inside labeled “for dog poop only”. I’ve seen this done before. Hella cool community service. You should stop most poop from going in your can AND be the hero of your neighborhood.

These buildings were gifted to the church, so they were essentially free. The church has no incentive to repair the buildings, rather, they can now have a large outdoor space for a pretty low cost.

The request to raze these buildings should be denied. Instead, the church can sell them and use the $ to improve its own building or pad its savings account. Or perform more Christian outreach to whatever community it seeks to serve.

TL:DR - the church doesn’t care about these buildings bc it didn’t pay for them. Make church sell buildings to somebody with $ who does care.
