McClure said he has been in contact with the property owner regarding the <br /> unsightly condition. He said the landowner said he was not going to continue the <br /> sign business and has contacted an auctioneer to conduct an auction this fall. <br /> Councilmember Bone moved for Mr. McClure to notify the landowner that if the <br /> property is not cleaned up by November 1, the City will start the condemnation <br /> procedures. Councilmember Cargill seconded and all voted for. <br /> Councilmember Bone asked what the City could do on two commercial <br /> properties in the City. Imperial Motors located on North St. Louis Street and the <br /> property located at the intersection of Main and Central. Ms. Bone said that <br /> Imperial Motors looks more like a junkyard than a used car lot. She said the <br /> property at Main and Central has been an eye sore for many years and she has <br /> had numerous complaints on both pieces of properties. The Mayor said the <br /> council could request Mr. McClure to contact the business owners, express the <br /> councils concerns regarding the conditions of the properties and ask them to <br /> submit in 30 days a plan as to how they plan to clean up their properties. If the <br /> businesses fail to respond to the request, the City could proceed with <br /> condemnation. Ms. Bone requested that Mr. McClure contact the owners with <br /> such requests and report back to the council with their responses. <br /> There being no further business, Councilmember Mitchum moved that the <br /> meeting be adjourned. Councilmember Insell seconded and all voted for. <br /> JOE M. BIARD, MAYOR <br /> DENISE M. JOHNSTON, CITY CLERK <br />
