MINUTES <br />CITY COUNCIL <br />OCTOBER 11, 2006 <br />Sedaghat's parC to make it look like he is cleaning up his property, when in <br />fact he is illegally parking cars on other properties. Blesener also reported <br />that a City employee informed him that he saw a car brought into Valor <br />Enterprises on a flatbed after the last Council meeting. This was one of <br />the vehicles that was then illegally parked on another property with afor- <br />salesign in its window. Blesener stated that even if Valor Enterprises <br />were given more time, he is convinced that nothing would happen. <br />Sedaghat reported that he did park cars on other properties, such as Burger <br />King and Maaco, but that occurred prior to the September 27`h Council <br />meeting. <br />Blesener noted that the City found ouC about this after last meeting once it <br />began receiving calls from property owners about these cars appearing on <br />their properties. Blesener again stated that it was his opinion that this was <br />done to make it appear the Valor property was being cleaned up. <br />Sedaghat stated that he did not know how to resolve this situation without <br />additional time. He pointed out the Chousands of dollars Chat he has had to <br />pay in towing costs. <br />Blesener pointed out Sedaghat's repeated requests over the years for <br />additional time, and the fact that no improvements are made. Blesener <br />questioned how the City could expect that anything would be done this <br />time. <br />Sedaghat indicated that things will happen, and if the City gives him a <br />chance, it will be pleased with whaC he can do. <br />Allan indicated that Mr. Sedaghat previously indicated how busy he is and <br />how he is trying to get things done. She noted that when the City gave <br />him an additional 90 days earlier this summer, nothing was done to <br />improve the property condition. Allan noted that Mr. Sedaghat indicated <br />that he is spinning his wheels. She felt that Mr. Sedaghat is spinning the <br />City's wheels and taking up much too much of the City Council's time, <br />Staff time, the Ramsey County Sheriff's Department's time, and the <br />court's time. Allan stated that she was opposed to the additional time <br />requested by Mr. Sedaghat. <br />Montour asked if Sedaghat had permission of the property owners to park <br />the vehicles on their property. Mr. Sedaghat replied that he did not. He <br />indicated that he saw a number of vehicles for sale up and down Rice <br />Street, and he moved his vehicles to those locations. <br />11 <br />
