In brief: City pursues suit on mobile park

Mediation between the city of Cheney and Thomas Myers, the owner of the Myers Mobile Home Park, and their attorneys has broken down, and the city plans to continue with pending litigation regarding the mobile park meeting city development, building and fire regulations.

According to stories in The Spokesman-Review, the city ordered Myers to put in three fire hydrants in 2006 or close the park.

Myers’ attorneys said he must now redesign the mobile home park to meet the standards, which would run him somewhere in the neighborhood of $900,000.

The city is continuing its litigation to achieve code compliance, according to a press release from the city.
