Ed Newman reported that the Junk Yard has appealed the BZA decision. It will be 30 to 45 days before we hear anything more.

Rob Copeland wanted to file complaint concerning Marshal Hegge. The complaint was really concerning his son Brian Copeland and his ex-girlfriend. The ex-girlfriend was allowed to remove her stuff from the son’s rented house. Council President asked Marshal Hegge if he had a response to the complaint. Marshal Hegge had contacted the actual owner of the home, who confirmed that the female was a tenant and she had bills in her name going to that address. Marshal Hegge stated that it is a Civil Matter. Council President told Rob Copeland that if his son (Brian) has a complaint he should be the one addressing the Council.
