STAFF AGENDA
AN ORDINANCE was introduced for second reading entitled: "AN ORDINANCE providing
for the examination and licensing of mobile home craftsmen; providing for the creation of
a Board of Examiners and prescribing their duties; providing for the issuance, revocation
and costs of mobile home craftsmen licenses; providing for the requirement of permits and
inspections of work performed by mobile home craftsmen and the costs thereof."
Acting Mayor Losik asked the City Attorney to explain the revision he made to the
ordinance.
The City Attorney said, "Last week there was some question as to spelling out in
the ordinance what a mobile home craftsman could do." He stated he added a little bit to
what was already written into the ordinance, and explained that Section 9-416 originally
said, "After certification by the Mobile Home Craftsman Board of Examiners, licenses may be
issued by the City Clerk." He explained that the ordinance was revised to read, "After
certification by the Mobile Home Craftsman Board of Examiners, licenses may be issued by the
City Clerk. Upon issuance of said license, the holder thereof shall be authorized to perform
repairs to mobile homes including, without limitation, mechanical and structural repairs, and
to make repairs and replacements to the electrical, plumbing and gas systems located within
the mobile home and to make the normal exterior connections to existing mobile home park
systems if the connection may be made at the lot.
"The holder of this license shall not be authorized to install or repair any part
of the mobile home park electrical, plumbing, or gas systems."
Mr. Jim Morrow was present and said in the past he criticized this proposal and
asked that clarification be made. He added that since the last meeting he has had the
courtesy extended to him of communication with people interested in this proposal. He said
he saw the work they put into it and thinks they went beyond their assigned duties to talk
with him about it, and added that he, as an individual, supports it.
