The Board advis ed that this Trailer Sales was not as it was planned to be and as they had promised the Board they mould build it, also there were nine trailers in the place instead of seven, this did not include the one on permanent foundation. The Mayor advised that the City has an ordinance that no trailers shall be used as an office. Mr. Beatling advised that their office building was quite small and they needed more storage Space and would ]eke to keep this trailer as an office. They also advised they were certain that they had the sewage matter wrapped up and would be into the sewage system very shortly. This matthter was discussed more and the Boara wantea to xnow if they allowe~tpoa~iayve this trailer as an office wheth~x:=they would be setting a precedent. The Board did not object to the nine trailers instead of the originally planned for seven trailers, however the trailer on the foundation and placed there permanently was what was opposed to. The trailer people advised that there was enough room for parking the way the trailers are now arranged, even with the one placed on foundat' n. Th y a,~so~wanted permission to store trailers on the back part of ~ p ace"'; from three to six trailers at the most. It was brought out that if th is trai ler could be placed on foundation and met the FHA specifications, then possibly they could be placed anywhere in the City, and this matter should be looked into more. Don Jack brought out that there should be a certain area for the mobile homes, even if they are on permanent foundations. Mrs. Collier explained the procedure which she ~:gq~~'_through in Reg. Minutes Page 3, 4-3~3 order to figure the sewage charge to be collected from the water company, covering all people on the sewers, and then forwarded to Kansas City, for its portion. She stated that at the present time there is no system of reporting the people who hook into the sewers and understands that there are some using the sewers and are not paying the charge. There is no certain way in which the water company receives the information that the people are on the sewers. It was understood that Brenner Ridge:. Trailer did not pay any Sewer cha~ge and also Green's Trailer Park, also DeMons, Cliff Manor, Diploma s/Fuebeur~ Greystone and Brown's building, and perhaps Riverside Townhbuses. With regard to Mr. Miller parking his vehicle on the City Property, Mr. Witt advised that since it is City's property, it has no right to confer the benefit to a person to private parking.

"' Don Witt advised with regard to the levee,a3v3s-in~ the Quindaro Levee Bend District gave him an opinion and that this District and the Riverside District are to be combined. He understood that the right of way was to be 250 feet on each side of the Line Creek to the Bank Bulk property, and it is clear that any buildings on the property will have to be removed when the levee is built and the people bearing the expense of the levee will also have to bear the expense of the buildings on the area involved. Reg: Minutes Page 4, 1973,Apri1 3. This maB;er was discussed and thought we should have a resolution or ordinance on the books prohibiting building in this area. It was also understood that there is a possibility that this much area is not going to be needed if the levee is put in a certain way. It was also thought this should be in the zoning plan and the Board was quite certain flat MARL did not know anything about the levee district. This matter was discussed and thought that maybe the people who were in the levee district would like to vote as to whether or not they would be willing to pay for the condemnation of the buildings, when the land is procured for the levee. The Board thought it would be best to put this in abeyance until the next meeting. Mayor Czamanske reported on the alleged pornography material in the stores and advised that Quick-Trip put theirs under the counter and Thriftway moved theirs.u.p':higher on the rack and advised they would move the rack. Mayor Czamanske advised that at a meeting he adtended the other day with the mayors of the surrounding areas he approached them with regard to a dog catcher to be employed by the cities on a full time basis, he said Weatherby, Waukomis, Parkville and Northmoore were in favor and didn't know for sure with regard to Platte Woods,& Houston Lake.. The matter of perhaps making High Drive more narrow when improving same, was discussed, and it was summed up that it would not cut the expenses too much by harrowing it, and it was also brought out that we have an obligatin to make the width under the I-635 overpass 40'. This again baoaght up the matter of whether or not the Highway Department has the right to have the City absorb all of the cost to correct the drainage problem as in this situation. Vulgamott brought up the matter that Mr. Ramey showed him an operation which was used to clean out stopped up drainage pipes, and thought this could possibly be used in cleaning out the Ramey pipes and the Jones drainage pipes along High Drive. * A reminder to have Mrs. Nelsen check on the letter agreements with the Trai ler People with regard to having their problems on certain items corrected, by certain dates. Mayor Czamanske advised that the public hearing on the Subdivision Regulations would be in the City Hall on Tuesday, April 10, 1973, at 7:30 p.m. Geary Hohimer advised needed some large rocks dumped in the washout on Vivian Road.

Don Jeck reported with regard to Andes and Roberts that they requested an extention of time for 90 days as they are waiting for their loan to go through, however the Boat desired that the roller and metal be picked up within 30 days. They were still waiting to hear from HUD for a loan. With regard to North Side Trailer Sales, the Board was not in favor of amending the ordinance to allow offices to be made out of trailers even for ones with double width, however they were in favor of going along with increasing the number of trailers from seven to nine. Grogan informed the Board that he may need a check for $50.00 for the Cable Television for the consultant, and may need a little more later as so me of the cities were not going in on this. The Board was in favor of allowing the $50.00. * Mrs. Nelsen is to make a copy of the minutes for each of the aldermen to have at the next meeting. Fries moved meeting adjourn, seconded by Vulgamott, meeting adjourned.
