Councilmembers reminded Mr. Deffebach that the schedule for these hearings had been adopted on September 14, 1992 allowing enough time for the Park owners to hire a consultant.' ~,:;, ..- '"'¡ Mr. Deffebach, in response to Council questions, argued for a delay to respond to Mr. Goldberg's report in a substantial way, advised that rental histories are difficult as many parks submit annual revenue reports without breaking down the individual high and low rents, and that Park owners believe that Council is asking for submittal of their private business revenue stream and some Park owners are reluctant to disclose private business matters. CONSENSUS: It was determined by Mayor Buchan to be the consensus of the Council that the original schedule providing December 14, 1992 as the last date for accepting testimony regarding the proposed Mobile Home Park Rent Stabilization Ordinance will stand as adopted. MEMO 11/24/92 Joe Steinfeld, Main Street, Redwood City, spoke in opposition to the proposed ordinance, and suggested that the City create more mobile home parks, perhaps in the Port area, or facilitate tenants in buying their interest in the park, and suggested that the Mayor appoint a Task Force on affordable housing in Redwood City which would include mobile homes. Brenda Griswald, 3015 E. Bayshore, Redwood City, asked the Council if the Goldberg report was supposed to be nonpartial. Councilmembers discussed City's objective of obtaining an independent third party report, their commitment to affordable housing, mobile home rent control as last resort, willing sellers and available funds to help tenants buy their parks, long term leases, rent disclosures during resale, the absolute necessity of data from Park owners to make an informed decision regarding necessity and fair return, loss of redevelopment funds in state bailout this year and more to come, and final comments to be heard on December 14, 1992. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 9.
