Adams' trailer house addressed at special council meeting

A special Kiowa City Council meeting was called for a hearing regarding a trailer house at 812 Barnes St. owned by Gerald Adams. The trailer was listed as a health and safety nuisance.

Adams reportedly called for and attended the hearing. Adams' trailer was parked at N. 8th St. and made it to a yard at 812 Barnes. "It's definitely going to be my home," he said, saying that he's cut 181 trees, cleaning the area up. There was some discussion about rainfall that made the ground soggy and the trailer got stuck. Adams thanked locals who helped him with their equipment.

"My axels got twisted like New York pretzels," Adams said. "I need some help. It's in the best interest of everyone." He thanked City Administrator Ty Piper for his help. "What I need is a piece of equipment to move it."

City Administrator Ty Piper reported Tuesday that an individual from the community volunteered to help Adams with moving the trailer to Sharon. That volunteer was literally helping with the trailer Tuesday afternoon, so there was no need for the council to take any action.
