Item No. 2 (continued) M /S: Chandler /Mosher that the Council respectfully reject the offer of the Housing and Human Concerns Committee to review the Fair Rent Compromise Lease approved by the City Council on April 22, 1985. (Second to the motion was made based on the statement that the maker would cite his reasons during discussion.) City Attorney Schricker commented and replied to questions by Council suggesting that if Council were to order reconsideration of the issues, it would be favoring one side; that ordinarily, once legislative action is taken, it remains in effect as a statement of the legislative policy of the Council; that justification for reopening an issue in exceptional circumstances might be if new facts were presented for consideration, which in this situation does not appear to be the case; that Council had set up an ad hoc committee with the intent of helping the situation, and is trying to mediate what is really a private dispute. Councilman Chandler stated that his motion was made for the reasons that no new information has been presented to Council since the action taken on April 22, 1985; the lease is totally voluntary to the mobilehome owners and park owners; and the City Council has not in the 31 years that he is familiar with, had an oversight committee that went back and reviewed Council's final decision; that when Council makes a decision, that decision has always stood, and to do otherwise could lead to charges of bad faith bargaining and exposure to potential litigation. Motion carried by the following roll call vote: Ayes: Noes: Chandler, Rhodes, Stangel and Mayor Britschgi Bury, Claire and Mosher MINUTE ORDER N0. 85 -83 -1 ORAL COMMUNICATIONS .1 E.R.
