Attorney Hatcher stated that the City Commission gave the definition to the phrase and Mr. Senador needed to address his _ objections to them. Mr. Linebarier explained that Mr. � � ��6` 1 _ ~- Senador could not have the car in the street or the driveway unless it is tagged and operable; therefore he needed to tag the car so it would be street operable or get rid of it. Mr. Linebarier asked Mr. Senador how long he needed to sell the (low car or to strip it for racing. Mr. Senador could not answer � this question. Mr. Carroll asked Mr. Senador if he could sell the car in ten ( 10) days. Mr.• Senador stated that he was not sure. Attorney Hatcher stated that the Code Enforcement Board sits in Judgement of the City° s activities and the Board would consider how much of a time frame is reasonable if, in fact, there is a violation.

Mr. Linebarier asked Mr. Senador if the car was in his name only and Mr. Senador answered yes. Mr. Marbais stated that the car was in violation and asked the Board what they wanted to do.

Mr. Carroll moved to dismiss the case, seconded by Mr. Linebarier and motion passed unanimously. Attorney Hatcher stated for the record that if the car to be cited as a junk vehicle was parked on a City Street the section of the Code violated would be 21-39 instead of 21-36 and 21-40.
