Mayor Radakovich reported to the council that Bob Patton, attorney for
C, D. Pincher, came by the office this date and discussed the modular
home C. D, Fincher had moved into the city. Mr. Patton asked for an
extension to May 27, 1977 for his client to move the building, and that
the citations be dismissed if the building is removed by that date.
Mayor Radakovich asked Clyde Marshall if he felt the citations should
continue to be issued daily. Clyde Marshall said it would have more effect
on C. D. Fincher's attorney if we did continue to issue the citations
daily and if he removed the building May 27, 1977 to recommend dismissal of
same. The council all agreed to continue the citations daily. Stanley
Jernigan and Pat Turner were not in favor of giving the 15 day extension.
Clara Sanderson, George Lowery and Charles Kuykendall were in favor.
