OLD BUSINESS REVOCATION OF JUNK DEALER LICENSE – JEFFREY HIEB A continued discussion of the possible revocation of a Junk Dealer License for Jeff’s Marine Service owned by Jeffrey Hieb at 102 North 3rd Street was held. City Planner Ken Hubbart updated the Council on items needed to be done at Jeff’s Marine Service to get the property into compliance with City Ordinances. Jeffrey Hieb and his attorney, Chris Haar, were present to discuss the issues that still need to be done to the property. He mentioned that lumber used for the fence needs to be removed, a vehicle on the west side of property needs to be picked up, and items parked outside the fence are for sale. Several Councilors commented that the business at 102 North 3rd Street has significant improvements. Councilor Ronayne asked if the Council could revoke the license but set a revocation date a week or two into the future. City Attorney Ron Wager said that City Ordinances give the City power to revoke a license but regulations don’t specify a specific period of time for revocation. Councilor Dennis “Mike” Olson, a former City employee who is familiar with the history of the property, said that his progress has been slow at times over the years but it’s the best he has seen the property look in many years. Councilor Bunsness had concerns about the boats for repair being parked outside of the fence. Councilor Slaight-Hansen commented on her concern about continuing the license. Councilor Business stated giving Hieb a couple more weeks for everything laid out here at the meeting that needs to be complied with.
