Leola council rescinds Sept. 5 mobile-home approval, tables new mobile-home request to Oct. 7
Summary
Council President Michael Yost and five council members voted to rescind a Sept. 5 special-exception approval after Jackie Rau said an online agenda typo omitted the topic; the council then tabled a new request to move an older mobile home until Oct. 7 for more research.
Council President Michael Yost convened the City of Leola special meeting on Sept. 26, 2024, where the council reconsidered recent action on a mobile-home special exception. Council member Jackie Rau moved, and Jackie Leibel seconded, to rescind Rau’s Sept. 5 motion approving a special exception to move a mobile home into town, citing a typo that omitted the specific topic from the online agenda; the council voted unanimously and the motion carried.
After rescinding the earlier approval, Leibel moved, with a second from Rau, to table the separate special request to move an older mobile home into town until the Oct. 7 meeting to allow more time for research. The motion carried unanimously. During discussion, council members and community residents raised questions about the specific wording of agenda items, the need to update local ordinances, and potential property-tax implications. The council did not adopt any ordinance changes or take final action on the mobile-home request at this meeting; the items are scheduled for further review on Oct. 7.
