matter not on the agenda.
Mr. Joe Hardcastle, 4588 Blanca Drive, Cypress, recommended that the Council have
staff reevaluate and clarify the City's requirements for roof-mounted solar energy
equipment. He stated the requirement that the equipment be mounted on the roof
is unreasonable because of the sharp angle of many roofs, the equipment cannot
be mounted on shake roofs, and the equipment could be blown off a roof. He
suggested that the criteria require the solar equipment to be mounted securely
to the frame of a house. The Council requested staff to investigate the solar
energy equipment requirements and prepare a report for the Council. Councilman
Mullen stated the Council may wish to consider adopting an ordinance dealing
with solar energy and he felt solar energy methods should be encouraged in the
community. Councilman Rowan recommended that staff review state and federal
solar energy standards.
Mr. J. W. Allen, chairman of the rent negotiation committee for Lincoln Center
Mobilehome Park at Bloomfield and Lincoln, stated their spokesperson would make
a presentation to the Council.
Ms. Donna Anderson, 3613 West Avenue, Fullerton, a former tenant of Lincoln Center,
read a statement to the Council concerning the current rent negotiations at the
mobilehome park and presented the Council with documentation which she requested
they review. She reported that 151 tenants will have rent increases effective
December 1, 1980, and some increases are 57% or 58%. The tenants requested that
the Council place a moratorium, to be effective November 30, on the increases so
that they may continue their negotiations with the park owner and to allow the
Council to read the documentation. Mrs. Anderson stated the tenants are not re-
questing rent control. Their letter to the Council was signed by 230 tenants of
the mobtlehome park.
Mr. Jim Van Horn, 13921 Artesia, Cerritos, representing the owner of Lincoln Center,
reported on the rent negotiation meetings which had taken place. He reported that
the owner is required by law to give 60 days' notice of rent increases, and the owner
mailed notices to the 100 tenants who have a rental agreement for their five year
lease which was negotiated in 1975. Mr. Van Horn reported that the other 200 tenants'
increase was based on a CPI figure of 13.7%. He stated the increases for the 100
tenants was to bring them up to the minimum rents that the 200 tenants were paying
and that increase was based on the lot widths. Mr. Van Horn stated the owner was
willing to cooperate with the Council on the matter of rent increases.

scheduled and the purpose of each meeting in order to determine if strong repre-
sentation by a large number of people is necessary.
Mr. A1 Troncone, 5427 Oxford Drive, Cypress, requested that the City take steps to
abate the public nuisance eyesore located on the southeast corner of Orange and
Grindlay where dumping is occurring on the vacant lot. The City Manager stated
