SedaghaC reported thaC during Che winter he would have more time to spend cleaning up the property and Che lot would be empty nexC year. There was no one else present from the general public wishing to comment on this matter. Upon motion by Blesener, seconded by Allan, the public hearing was closed.

The City Attorney indicated Chat if the Council's action is to revoke the Conditional Use Permits for Valor Enterprises, findings of fact should be listed as part of the revocation action. Montour asked where this action would get Che City in terms of getting the property cleaned up. He noted that Valor Enterprises will be out of business, but the condition of the lot will remain as is. The City Administrator indicated that abatement of the nuisance will be a complicated process given that there are finance companies involved as well as private parties who own vehicles being stored on the lot.
