Mounds View City Council January 23, 2006 Regular Meeting Page 6 • Mayor Marty told Mr. Bteibet that he understood the position he was in, and pointed out that Mr. Bteibet does not own or lease the property or the building, and only has a license from the City. Mayor Marty stated he has known Mr. Bteibet for several years and recognizes that he is trying to make the business work. Mayor Marty stated he concurred with the Council to not take the issue to court and asked staff to let the prosecuting attorney know. He stated that this issue along with the canopy and car wash issues will be added to the January 30, 2006 Work Session agenda. Mr. Bteibet stated that he would provide Director Ericson with any updates, as well as attend the January 30, 2006 work session meeting. MOTION/SECOND: Thomas/Marty.

Mayor Marty stated that the Building Inspector should have directly responded to him rather than to the person asking the question. He stated that in regard to the time limit, the time City Council or City staff spends answering the question is not counted towards the time limit. Mayor Marty stated that the Council tries to adhere to the three minute guideline for the public input part of the
