-11- January 26, 1976
Councilman Hodges: Would go along with a temporary license if
he comes in and is really sincere. I think he realizes he has
got to do something.
Councilman Baumgartner stated that until the State gives you a
license we can't give you one. He replied that the State will
give him one. Councilman Baumgartner said that he has heard
about your building, etc. for 3 or 4 years and it has never
happened. After we cracked down you finally moved the cars.
As far as I am concerned 30 days is it. Bob Schmidt, Control
Data employee, stated that he has cars on Mr. Gillespie's
lot on consignment and if the lot was closed this would be most
difficult for him.
Councilman Pickar: Can probably see the issuing of a temporary
license. Something definite would have to be worked out with
the administrator before he comes in.
Councilman Shelquist: Is it your intent to start repairing
cars or what?
Mr. Gillespie: Get one stall and an office over here. Realize
I have to have something here.
Councilman Shelquist: You wouldn't move your cars off the lot
because of weather. How is summer different if you have no place
to go then?
Mr. Gillespie: In the winter you have income tax money coming
back and they may buy.
Councilman Shelquist: At the last meeting we were told that the
bus couldn't be moved. Now they are moved. Why will it take a
year to build the building?
Mr. Gillespie: Have to wait for the summer. Go through the
planning stages and get the permit, etc.
Councilman Shelquist: I am in favor of granting renewal on the
basis of 90 days and an additional renewal after that based on
negotiations with the administrator, presentation of plans, and
by June or July a structure completed. You cannot rely simply
on his statements.
Mayor Johnson asked how many cars he has sitting in his yard, he
replied probably 5 -7 and the Mayor stated that he had counted
nine. Mr. Gillespie explained these belonged to his children.
Mayor Johnson stated that he would go along with perhaps a recon-
sideration of an extension from the police department issuing
tags until February 23. As far as being able to do business on
the lot I would say no. I want to see a negotiated contract
before you do sell cars. When we get this accepted then I
would be willing to consider a new license. I make a motion
that we reconsider the length of time in which the police
department is not to issue tags to any cars that remain on the
