An ordinance was introduced for second reading entitled: "AN ORDINANCE providing
the proximity requirements of a mobile home court from parks, public buildings, hospitals,
or colleges; amending Section 21-29 of The Salina Code and repealing said original section."
A motion was made by Commissioner Caldwell, seconded by Commissioner Ashton to adopt the
ordinance as read. Mr. A. M. Mosier, President of Mobile Home Park Association, asked the
City Commissioners not to pass the ordinance deleting "school" from Section 21-29 of the
Salina Code. Mr. Mosier claims there are approximately 300 - 350 empty spaces within the
trailer parks within the City at this time. He felt that this would affect the economics
of the present courts by allowing another court to expand at this time. Mr. Joe Kroneberger
would like to make this organization available for any help they could give the City
Commissioners on similar subjects or any other help on mobile homes. A motion was made by
Commissioner Ashton, seconded by Commissioner Caldwell to table the ordinance for one week.
