The Scott City Council would like to see more done to remove dilapidated trailer homes or demolish structures that are beyond repair, but building codes are an obstacle. Under current regulations, if someone wants to demolish a trailer home within the city they are required to purchase a $1 million liability insurance policy. Building inspector Lloyd Foster referred to that level of liability coverage as “overkill” when he brought up the issue at the last council meeting.
