City Attorney Goodrich stated that the Council could adjust it for multi- tenant facilities, but not specifically for this property. He reviewed some of the findings of fact that he crafted for the Council. City Administrator Ulrich stated that the enforcement for a CUP is to revoke the CUP, which, in this case, would be a difficult remedy because this is a sign that the City helped pay for. Councilmember Elvig stated that he thinks maybe staff should just make a strong comment about complying with the ordinances on the books already. Councilmember Strommen agreed that the City should make sure that it is enforcing the existing ordinances. Community Development Director Miller stated that staff has not had time to do any enforcement activities lately . Councilmember Look stated that he wants to make it clear that the Council isn't making a decision based on the $15,000 contributed by the EDA for the sign.
