The <br />Administrator reported ChaC he and the Code EnforcemenC Officer have <br />been discussing the abatement option with the City ACCOrney, and there are <br />some difficult issues related to this option given that most of the cars on <br />the property are not owned by Mr. Winner. <br />The City Administrator reported that there is also interest by Slumberland <br />as well as Steve Garske in purchasing the property. Slumberland has had <br />the property appraised and has made an offer to Mr. Winner. Mrs. Winner <br />was initially unaware of the situation, and has been informed of past <br />efforts as well as additional enforcement options that the City has. <br />The Administrator reported that at Che present time the City Attorney is <br />working with the Sheriff's DeparCment to obtain a warrant to inspect the <br />property from a life safety/fire hazard standpoint. <br />Blesener asked about eminent domain.

The Code Enforcement <br />Officer noted that the signs are properly licensed.

Council discussed Chis concern, and the consensus <br />was to not place restrictions on the colors that could be used. <br />The City Administrator asked if the Council had any concerns with the <br />City's code enforcement practices and philosophy.
