MINUTES CITY COUNCIL SEPTEMBER 27, 2006 discussed at least three or four times. Each Cime, Mr. Sedaghat has made promises to clean up the property and bring iC back into compliance. However, this has not been done. Blesener pointed out that 90 days ago, the Council gave Mr. Sedaghat 90 days to clean up the property. This has not occurred.
