Councilmember Cook commented the Council had planned to improve the standard of living at the <br />Mobile Home Park if the City were to take it over. He inquired if there is an ordinance in place to <br />enable the City to press for a cleaner environment for the residents of the Mobile Home Park. <br /> <br />City Attorney Goodrich replied there is an ordinance in place; however, it may not meet current <br />requirements. He suggested the Council may want to direct staff to enfome the ordinance that is <br />currently in place and determine if the ordinance is sufficient to accommodate the standard of living <br />requirements. <br /> <br />Mayor Gamec commented some standard of living issues can be handled through the Fire Code; <br />however, garbage and sanitary issues would likely be addressed through the County Health Department. <br /> <br />The consensus of the Council was to direct staff not to continue with the purchase of the Mobile Home <br />Park, and to review the City Ordinance relating to standard of living conditions. <br /> <br />2) Urban Village Tour Findings <br /> <br />City Administrator Norman reviewed that the Council previously discussed a rough draft of the two <br />urban village tours last spring to the Phoenix area of Arizona and Los Angeles, California.
