Yes, Madame President.

This public hearings relative to authorizing revocation of a special use permit granted to 634 South Getting Street.

The property has been the site of unauthorized car sale.

The business operating at the property has been cited numerous times by DMV for selling unroadly cars and for engaging in fraudulent business practices, which violate the terms and conditions of the special use permit.

So what we're gonna do housekeeping is everybody that wants to speak, we'll get two minutes to speak, and then from there we'll make a determination at our next meeting.

And when you come to speak, state your name and your address, please.

Hi, Ann Leonard.

How are you doing?

My name is um Ian Namard.

Um I'm at 620 get this for like 15 years.

Um the DMV, what they say about the DMV, I don't sell car there.

I work for um a company out of the state.

So the company got a contract with the company that store the car, the detail and oil change for the company.

I got a contract right there that I have.

I don't sell any car over there.

Um when the DMV came over there, I explained that to him and tell him that I used to have a dealership over there, but um if somebody complained about a problem, it cost me 2500.

So I say I cannot afford that.

So we just cancel the dealerships at work, as I'm saying, I work for D'Zone Wheel and Auto Plug.

So we have a contract with them where we just straight like details, tire service and stuff like that.

So um I don't know where this coming from.

Um I'm selling cars over there.

We used to sell cars over there since um 2021.

But after that, we don't sell any cars over there from that.

If I sell a car over there, probably buy a car off a Facebook market.

If I buy a cover Facebook market, um, I don't think that's I'm doing anything on legal to sell a car, buy a cover Facebook market and sell it as it is.

If it's something that when a guy said I can't do, that's okay.

Or if it's something with a property where I can't do better with, or something where when the guy said, Ian I'm doing wrong, I don't mind adjusting.

Because I'm I'm not trying to get my business shut down.

I've been here for like 15 years.

I'm no that's your decision to meet that's not mine.

But um I don't think it's fair if I if to say I sell a car some sell a car as it is and um off a Facebook market and then you said you can't sell you can't sell a car illegal, right?

I think I can't do that.

And I got the paperwork here to um to show that I got a contract from these people where I store the car at.

And I got a next problem again.

Um there was complaining about the well, they never bring that up.

There was complaining about a bay or block up the bay.

And um, I blocked the bay up because there's a lot of drugs drug trafficking going on over there.

So I blocked the bay off and put a like a convenience store in there.

There's nothing for the public, it's just like for the customer come there for like I'll change and tire change.

And um all right, your time is up.

Could you state your address, please?

Um is 100 Ruckford Drive.

Okay, thank you very much.

Tyrell London.

Good evening, how y'all doing?

I'm Tyrell London.

I live 615 Gifford Street.

Um, I actually uh employee for Mr.

Ian himself.

Um you see up dirty now from tires, um oil changes, whatever that basically possible that I could do at the shop.

Um it's mostly mechanic work that goes on.

That's basically I don't know about no car selling because I'm always inside the garage.

So my most thing is like I said, I'm here to support because this is my line of work.

If y'all take this business or whatever the case may be, I have to go find other mechanic place to feed myself and my little daughter and my household at the end of the day.

That's my piece.

Thank you.

Hi, good evening.

My name is Rodney Barnes.

Um, my address 237 Riverdale Drive.

Um, I know Ian for a long time.
