Since that time, the <br />Administrator has put this into an ordinance form. <br />Administrator Achen reviewed the proposed ordinance. <br />Councilmember Baumgartner stated that he did not have any problems <br />with this, but he did *9te against the tie down requirement because he <br />felt the techniques haven't been established that well. Council <br />member Baumgartner stated that he wonders if the City inspection <br />department is capable and knowledgeable of making these inspections. <br />Councilmember Baumgartner stated that he would vote for adopting the <br />new ordinance, but would like to have his reservations of the tie down <br />ordinance noted. <br />Councilmember Rowley stated that she agrees with the Chapter but <br />had been concerned with the anchor requirement for winter months <br />before the ground thawed. <br />Councilmember Ziebarth stated that he voted against the tie downs <br />because he felt the present provisions don't provide for any future <br />restrictions for people that have mobile homes and don't have the <br />tie downs.
