On September 14, 1992 the City Council adopted the following schedule: September 14, 1992 - provide a draft copy of the ordinance to all interested parties, invite written comments, and direct staff to engage an economic consultant to provide rent increase factors; October 26, 1992 - invite concerned parties to present oral arguments; November 16, 1992 - economic consultant presentation to Council; December 14, 1992 - community input regarding the economic consultant's report and Council decision whether or not to pursue the matter. The purpose of the meeting was to invite concerned parties to present oral arguments. City Attorney Schricker provided the legal groundwork for the testimony relating to the proposed ordinance on mobile home rent stabilization, and advised that this legislative hearing was to advise Council: 1) as to the need for a mobile home rent stabilization ordinance; and 2) if so, what are the appropriate terms and conditions of such an ordinance. Also, City Attorney Schricker reminded everyone the proposed ordinance was just a draft, and speakers should not engage in legal discussions of terms in the draft, which mayor may not be in the final proposal. City Attorney Schricker advised that because of the public interest in this subject, a certified shorthand reporter was present to record the proceedings. (Catherine A. O'Leary, of DeSouza & Associates, recorded the proceedings.) Mayor La Berge asked the proponents and opponents of the proposed draft ordinance to meet in separate areas of the lobby or Supervisors Chambers and organize their presentations, with a promise that everyone who wanted to speak would be allowed to do so. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Mayor La Berge declared a recess at 8:20 p.m. Meeting reconvened at 8:35 p.m. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- THE FOLLOWING PEOPLE ADDRESSED THE COUNCIL IN SUPPORT OF A MOBILE HOME RENT STABILIZATION ORDINANCE INCLUDING VACANCY CONTROL, RENT STABILIZATION, ELIMINATION OF PASS THROUGHS, ROLL-BACKS, AND DESCRIBED THE UNIQUE OWNERSHIP SITUATIONS OF MOBILE HOMES AND MOBILE HOME PARKS: Randy Roushall, 3015 E. Bayshore Blvd., Harbor Village resident, provided statistical literature, "Financial Relationship Between Park Owners and park Residents" describing, among other factors, inequitable rent increases over the last seven years. Mr. Roushall suggested a compromise of long term leases, if they could accomplish the four items listed above and be equitable; but, if long term leases could not guarantee those items, then he would support an ordinance to do so.
