/_,,,,~ a member, replacing Bernie Vulgamott.
(~'~ Mayor Czamanske would like permission to purchase certificates
to give to the members of the Planning Commission, and the Board was
in favor.
Mr, Vulgamott wanted to set out his thoughts with regard to
a matter tha~3in the minutes of the previous meeting. He disapproved
the Mayor having the power to pardon or excuse warrants served o~
people, especially like the matter of Cullum and Brown, where the
Board was all in accord fn~ handling of the matter. Mr. Vulgamott
disagreed with the Missouri Statutes in this regard and thoughiit
was useless for the Board Members to take their time and one person
can tear up what has been done. He stated this had bothered him pretty
badly and he can't do anything about. the State Statutes. This matter
had been talked over prior to the meeting and what he wanted to was
to have it in the minutes that this does not happen again and he doesn't
want any one person to have this authority. Mr. Vulgamott thought
this man had given the City the run-around, a summons was served to
him to appear in court, however the warrant for his failure to appear
in court was never served because they could not find him in the
City.
Mayor Czamanske stated he feels the same way. It is
nothing against Vulgamott and it bothered the mayor since he learned
of Vulgamott's feelings. Mayor Czamanske advised the circumstances
as he saw it was that sometime in October, 1972, or early November, 1972,
the poli ~ notified Cullum and Brown of their adding the tin building
to the LeFluebr building which did not conform with the City's ordinance
and it was the Board's desire to have the building removed. B~enpromised
to remove the building, however he failed to do it and the police were
requested to serve a summons for his arrest, which was delivered to him.
An attorney representing Mr. Brown appeared at one of the Board's ~.~"'
meetings and tried to get the Board to change their minds. Within
three days after that meeting, the building was taken down. The Mayor
thought that since the building ha~~r~moved that he thought it best
not to prosecute, not because of Mr. Brown, but what he thought was
for the benefit of the city, therefore, the Mayor said he advised
to not prosecute on the warrant. The Mayor advised he told the Board
that he would not do this in the future unless he can't get a special
meeting within one day. He felt that this should come from the judgment
of the Board to excuse this person, He said that unless ~€ an extreme

emergency, the Board will be notified. The Mayor assured the
borad that he will not dismiss any more earrants without the permission
of the Board's unless as stated it is an extreme emergency and he
cannot reach the Board G-~i~c.~.',.~. ~~ .
-- Mr. Vulgamott inquired as to who told
Hydro-Conduit about its not having a building permit to build its
building and Gary Hohimer advised he told the people, but did not
state who brought up the matter to the Board. Vulgamott stated
he had gotten word that he is not to go on H~dso-ecin~3uiths property
again and he wanted Gary Hohimer tango with him to talk to these
people.
A recess was called and the meeting then reconveniened.
Mr. Prince was present to represent Prince Trailer
Park as he had received a letter from the City Attorney dated
February 14, 1973, with regard to the problems which had to be
repaired and fixed in his trailer park. With regard to the sewer,
Mr. Prince advised that he had this repaired. With regard to the
trash containers, he advised he has the commercial type and the
trash is picked up twice a wee$. The other things remaining to
be done is the electrical wiring, the lighting of the park and
the all weather road. Don Witt advised that the electrical engineer
could probably give him some good suggestions with regard to what
corrections ~ho~ild be mada. Mr. Prince stated that he has nine
active trailers and there are two vacant spaces, this was account
of his not being 35 feet from the front property line, and he
voluntarily removed the trailers. The matter of whether the ~~`fips
of asbestos shinlJles was considered an all weather road and it was
thought that possibl~ceul.d be but it would have to be researched
what an all weather road consisted of. Mr. Prince advised he wanted
to cooperate and that he would need more time. The Board was in
agreement to extend his time to May 1, 1973 on the electrical work
to be done and until October 1 on the street lights and roads.
However, he should prepare the print and send that in and also
get an application for the occupation license.
Bs matter of information, to date the Electrical engineer
has billed the city for $470.00.
A ~a~ who is the manager for the Alfred's Trailer
Park was present to see what could be worked out with regard to the
pro~lemssnot complying to the City's ordinances, as set out in
letter dated February 14, 1973, from the City Attorney.

There appeared to be the problem of hook up into public sewers,
Electrical problems, submit park plan and remove the trash from
the creek. He advised that they had 13 trailers and plan to
take one out. He also advised the there are two acres in the
Trailer Court, there are five different septic tanks, there is no
problem with the sewers, no seepage into the creek. Gary Hohimer
stated that they appear to have the minimum square footage for the
trailers. The Board were in accord to give Alfred's Trailer Park
until Jan. 1, 1974 to hook into the public sewers, with regard to
removal of the debris from the creek and electrical problems,
the Board were in accord to give them until May 1, 1973, and that
the plans, they should be presented to the council as quickly as
possible.
Curtis Brenner was present with regal to his trailer
park. Mayor Czanamske advised that Mr. Brenner Yal submitted plans
to the Manning Commission for 25 trailers and to make an office and
a one story apartment building out of the present building. Mr.
Brenner was not present at the meeting and the matter was tabled
for further consideration. The Mayor advised that in order to have
the twenty-five trailers, he would have to ham the park rezoned,
as he was now there on a pre-existing use, and he may come before
the board for rezoning and this would also have to come before the
Manning commission. Mr. Curtis Brenner advised he would like to
flatten the area and put in concrete slabs for trailers if he
w~s_ assured he could het it rezoned for trailers, but would not want
to do the work and then not be able to have the trailers. Curtis
Brenner advised he could come to the Planning Commission meeting and
see what its opinion would be.
With regard to Warren Brenner's trailer court, Mr. Panus
advised he discussed the matter with Warren Brenner, and in turn
talked to Mr. Witt. Mr. Warren Brenner would be willing to sign
the letter which set out all the corrections to be made to the
Trailer Park and sent to him from Mr. Witt, if he could bring the
duplex building up to standards and not have to tear it down, he
also needed more time in which to complete the electrical work,
possibly until April 15, 1973. The Board thought the duplex did
not look too bad after it was cleaned up and painted, however,
it was thought too that perhaps an inspection of the interior should
be made. Mr. Panus stated that he would get Mr. Brenner to sign
'" the letter and Mr. Witt should haveit not later than Monday,
February 28, 1973. The time for the Electrical won&,~o.,be done would be
extended to April 15, 1973.
