MINUTES CITY COUNCIL SEPTEMBER 22, 2008 relocate their business and start over is impossible until a resolution of this matter is reached. Peterson asked that the Council consider the history and take it serious that there are some issues that are cause for concern. Griffith noted that it was difficult for Lori Peterson to address the Council. He pointed out that this issue has been before the Council for a long time, and was sure that both parties wanted it resolved. Griffith stated that if the only issue was the CUP revocation, they would not be here this evening. He also pointed out that some of the code violations were valid and some were not. Griffith indicated that the main issue is the City's interference with the proposed sale of the property to the bus company as well as the City's interference with other prospective buyers. Griffith indicated that the sale of this property without a CUP is very difficult, and noted that in Ryan Industrial Park the value of the property lies in a CUP. Griffith indicated that Valor Enterprises wants to move on and is continuing to incur costs. He asked the Council to put a substantial sum on the table for payment of damages and authorize its attorneys to settle this case. An alternative would be the renewed interest of the City to purchase the property at fair market value coupled with payment of damages. The City Attorney indicated that the City Council would discuss the Valor Enterprises pending litigation in closed session at the conclusion of the September 24`" regular Council meeting.
