Don Witt advised that the information he had w ith regard to Hon's apartment
project was that it would be complete very shortly. Don Jack advised that it was
65~ Complete. Mr. ~~'itt advised unless he hears further from the council, that he will
continue pressing the matter. Mr. Jack advised that he has made record time and that
he has a crew that is yeas nable and they are doing a fine and good job.
Mr. Kitt advised that arrangements should be made that the sewer is properly dedicated
to the city that it should have maintenance bond and that all the lines should be up
to the City's specifications. That Mr. Rohr: is not to be given entrance into the main
line until these things are complete. The easements should also be in existence. It
was thought that it would be best that these requirements be done as they hook in the
main line. The terms should be handled by Hha'hicattornoy, add it would not take very
long to get all of this taken care of. With regard to whether or not Mr. Hon should
be brought into court again was discussed and it was decided that Don Witt would use
his own discretion as to how the matter is progressing and he has authority to do
what he feels should be done, depending on the progress. There should be a one year
maintenance bond. It was thoughtithat the City has not accepted that portion coming
down Larson Road. Don Jack advised that he felt the matter was progressing rapidly
on the whole. He wants the other portion of the sewer to be in acceptable shape and
will have to do some inspecting on it. There is noc~dication paper on the Sewer
down Larson Road.
The matter of Munster's court procedure is set for December 7, 1922.
The Trai3er court matter was disnussed and Don Witt advised of the best
procedure to follow. One was that it would be better if the occupations license
wero refused to the trailer parks, ~'~--: The City under the ordiance has aright to
to inspect the courts, which we may have already determined that we have done and
refuse to issue an occupation license for the trailer Court's failure to comply
to the ordinance of the City of Riverside to wit:
Mr. Witt prepared two ordinances for law suits against Brenner and Green Trailer Eourts.
These would not be~:f filed until December 15, 1972, or possible not until after the first
of the year.

Mayor Czamanske advised that on November 15, 1972, when they had the meeting
with the Trailer Parks' owners or managers, all the things that needed to be
done were discussed and that since the meeting none of the operators of the
trailer parks have been back and that he herd that they were testing the
City to see if it would go on through with closing them down, if they
wer, not brought up to City's ordinance. The Mayor also advised that the
barn of Curtis Brenner that was made into apartments should be condemndd.
The question was asked what would happen if the City refused her occupation
license a.nd the matter was taken to court, what could be done. Don Witt
thought that the judge would enjoin any further occupancies until the trailer
courts complied with the ordinances. Mr. Fitt also advised that the owners
could file suit on the ground that the premises ere not in a habital state,
that all the rent that is paid is to be used to fix up and repair the court.
Riayor Czamanske stated it was his opinion that the City should proceed and
both Brenner Ridge Trailer Court and Green's Trailer courts should be culled
in and we should force them to clean up the places and also cut them in
proper order, this would be doing them a favor. It was thought tihat YJarren's
Trailer Court would cost much to cle:~ up and bring up to Ordinance. Another
thought was that if they tried to bring them up to city Ordinance and the
City could observe their doing this, them maybe occupation license could be
issued on a quarterly bas is, and the council thought these were all good points,
if we could make some progress.
Chiesf Hohimer thought that at the meetin:- Curtis Brenner se®mdd the most willing
to cooperate with the city and it was his opinion that Curtis' trailers were not
