The City Clerk read the following reconunendation or the City Planning and
Zoning Coanission in full:
"Extension ot time for Elm Trailer Court
The Planning COlllllission recommendBto the City Council that an extension
ot time be granted to the Ringenberg's due to the fact that the Planning
COlmliasion is working on an amendment to the Mobile Home Ordinance."
Councilman Miles discussed the recormnendation which would allow more time for
the compliance with the January 1, 1962, deadline for trailer court camps. Council-
lllln Woods inquired if the Council could grant an extension ot time? The City
Attorney reported that the Coi.tncil could not extend time for compliance without a
general ordinance, not special legislation. He emphasized that the extension
could not be granted to only one court without granting to all courts. Discussion
ensued. The City Attorney spoke further that the revision ot the Trailer Court
Ordinance, if revised, is a policy matter. Such a revision would be after the
Planning Comaiaaion reconaended it and the City Council reviewed it and approved
it by paaa1ng an ordinance. Councilman McLellan spoke for the extension emphasizing
the good faith or the Ringenberg' a in attempting to improve their court.

cottages, that are nearly shacks, with an equal number or trailer sites. He
stated that he personally wanted to act on the matter rather than simply refer it
back to the Planning Conunission. Councilman Braun spoke to his motion, stating
that he would not like to deny the request and yet does not agree with the extending
ot any deadline. Councilman Miles spoke that he would prefer to have the City
Manager consult with the Building Inspector as to enforcement or the Building Code
and Mobile Home Ordinance with regard to this particular case. Discussion ensued.

COUNCILMAN MILES MOVED, COUNCIIllAN MARTIN SECONDED, THAT THE CITY MANAGER CON-
PER WITH THE BUILDI?«l INSPECTOR AND IP LEGALLY PO~SIBLE GRANT AN EXTENSION OF TIME
POR Rlt«JENBERG TO IMPROVE OR DP>tOLISH THE CABINS. Councilman Braun inquired this
related only to the cottages? Councilman Miles stated that it did. Discussion en-
sued. Councilnan Braun stated that he would vote against the motion due to the
~act an order for condemantion or the cottages may have been given and this order
should not be revoked or extended. Discussion ensued. Councilman McLellan stated
that such action does not help Mrs. Ringenberg to improve her trailer court, many
or which improvements require the knowledge or whether she will be allowed to re-
place the cottages with trailer sites. Councilman Brownewell retorted that Mrs.
Ringenberg has had full knowledge or the Mobile Home Ordinance and its deadline.

Township 5 South, Range 67 West, tor maintenance ·-by the City of Engle-

Mr. L. R. Rudd
City Manager
City Hall
Dear Mr. Rudd:
Minutes of December 18, 1961
"December 18, 1961
On December 18, 1961, at 2:30 P.M. hose bids were opened and
the following firms presented their bids:
1. WESTERN PIRE DEPARTMENT SUPPLY COMPANY. Eureka possible.
2t" 8 tl.65 per root $1,970.00
1 " <I 1.30 per root
2. AMERICAN La.PRANCE PIRE PROTECTION COMPANY. Goodyear brand
(Fold-well hose) 2t" 8 $1.60 per foot $1,880.00
1 " 8 $1.20 per foot
3. Blaze guard
Blazeron -10 year warranty.
ROE FIRE AND SAFETY EQUIPMENT COMPANY.
2!" 8 $1.24 per foot $1,452.00
lt" 8 $0.92 per foot
Referring to number one (1) which is the highest bidder and
whereby he does not mention the trade name we have every right
to believe it is Eureka hose which is good hose but this finn
has changed hands from time to time and where they make the
statement to guarantee this cormnodity their successor does not
inherit this.
Referring to number three (3) which is the low bid I am
told that this is one or the oldest companies or hose making
in the United States however, I have never heard the same and
the price has such a differential between the lat and 2nd class
bidders that I cannot understand it. As you probable know you
can buy hose for any price you wish to pay, which doesn't always
bring about the answer when put in service, kept in service, and
from time to time the replacement of guaranteed hose.
The second lowest bid is the same hose that we have been
buying tor a number or years and are fully equipped in all
stations with this particular brand of hose and it has given
us satisfactory service. It would be my judgment that the
experimenting with a new brand of hose would be economically
unwise. The trouble is that most of these firms or their
representatives are in and out of business as one of the
bidders at this particular time now has his business for sale.
The guarantee of this conmodity and the replacement for
danage if any is a great satisfaction not to have to bicker
about or to have to try and find somebody or to find some-
body out of business.
The second highest bid, which is the hose I have preference
for is $428.00 over the lowest bidder therefore, for the good
of all parties concerned I reconmend, and hope you concur in
my opinion, that the second bidder's hose is the one which I
want.
P.S. I find after the bids have closed that the representative
for Blazeguard is authorized to reduce the price .26-per foot
tor the purpose or getting some of this hose established in this
territory.
I also find out that the American La.France bid is 17~ lower
than last year's purchase which is also in their favor.

Respectively submitted,
