Dr, James TidIer, Attorney James Fox
Minutes of the November 13, 1968 meeting were approved by motion of Dr. Bellamy,
seconded by Dr. TidIer.
Mobile Home Ordinancel There was a general discussion of the Mobile Home Park
Ordinance. The position the Board has taken was restated as in the November
Minutes and in Mr. Fox's letter to Attorney Daughtridge. Dr. Smith made the
motion that a copy of Mr. Fox's letter be inserted into the November minutes,
as part of the minutes, since the letter spelled out the Board's position in
more detail. Motion was seconded by Dr. Bellamy and carried. (Excerpt from
letter is attached to minutes of November 13, 1968)
A delegation of Mobile Park owners and sales people who were waiting outside the
door were invited in to state their business. The spokesmen (Mr. Lewis and Mr.
Crisp) stated that in the opinion of their delegation, we are enforcing something
that is not law and that they are going to fight this. They stated that they have
the backing of the National Association of Mobile Homes. The delegation brought
up the case where legal action was taken regarding the Ordinance passed by the
County Commissioners in which the Commissioners reconsidered and did not go to
court. Mr. Fox told the delegation that the Health Department Ordinance is not
the same as the ordinance passed by the County Commissioners and that the Board
of Health does have the authority to enforce the Ordinance from a standpoint of
health. Mr. Hall stated to the delegation that the Board has taken a position and
will stand on it. (The position is stated in the November minutes). Mr. Cranford
was advised to republish the ordinance and to post necessary notices as provided
by statue.

HEW Visitl Dr. Knox reported to the Board that a team of five members were here
to investigate the Department on Monday, December 9, and that everything seemed to be
in order so far as the team was concerned.
Milk Ordinance I Dr. Smith made the motion, seconded by Dr. TidIer that Mr. Fox
draw up a resolution to be inserted in our current Milk Ordinance to cover "filled
milk" and "imitation milk" and that proper notice be given in news media and posted
on bulletin board at Court House. Motion carried. (Amendment was written and
published as directed - copy attached to these minutes).
