Mounds View City Council January 28, 2Q08 Regular Meeting Page 7 Council Member Mueller asked if the property owner was clear on what can and cannot be out in the yard, in order to remain in compliance once this issue is cleared up. Mr. Preciado said that the computer system that he had was stolen so he had problems contacting the people that owned the vehicles. He then said that he was dealing with the Columbia Heights Police Department to identify and contact some of the owners to get the vehicles off the property. He then said that the rest of the vehicles belong to him and he does not have money to rent space to store them. MOTION/SECOND: Mueller/Hull.
