Mr. William A. Simmons Sr.

Action Demolition owner Will Simmons apologized to the city for building and operating the business without required permits.He said he was ignorant of the city's permitting process.Simmons asked the city to accept the settlement, but said he may eventually move the business elsewhere, especially if it continues to create problems for nearby residents.

"The neighbors there are going to have to want me to stay," he said."I've purchased property in another town and the council there is courting us.We'd like to stay if we can."

"I'm willing to take the compromise and leave, but it would be the biggest mistake this county ever made," Simmons said.
