CONTINUATION OF CONSIDERATION OF MOBILE HOME PARK RENT CONTROL/MEDIATION BOARD ALTERNATIVES: The City Manager presented a report dated February 5, which transmitted rent mediation board proposals prepared by the City Attorney, a communication from Mr. Swanson, attorney for the Lincoln Center owner, and a report on Section 8 rental assistance for mobile home park tenants. The City Manager read a letter from Mr. Ray Maggi in which he expressed opposition to any governmental action which imposes price/rent controls on any form of investment by private enterprise and support for the proposal by the Lincoln Center owner to aid fixed income tenants. Mayor Evans asked if anyone wished to speak on this matter. Mr. John Anderson, 401 Civic Center Drive, Santa Ana, attorney representing the tenants at Lincoln Center, reported that he had read Mr. Swanson's commu- nication but that he would need additional time in order to respond to the entire document. Mr. Anderson stated the tenants lack a bargaining position with the park owner. Mr. Anderson felt the tenants would support the rent mediation board ordinance. Mr. Brent Swanson, 1800 E. 17th Street, Santa Aha, attorney representing the owners of Lincoln Center, summarized comments made in his letter to the Council dated February 4, which expressed objections to the imposition of rent control at the mobile home park. Mr. Swanson felt the present rental rates at Lincoln Center were fair and reasonable and could be substantiated by the previous financial data submitted two years ago by the owner, their independent survey by Opinion Research which found their rents are in the average range of rents of comparable parks in the County, and by the fair - 6 - City Council Minutes February 9, 1981 market rent established for the Section 8 rental assistance program. Mr. Swanson stated he reviewed the two ordinances and the resolution prepared by the City Attorney. He stated the mandatory arbitration board ordinance would be unacceptable and the mediation board ordinance would be a fore- runner to rent control. Mr. Swanson felt the resolution would be reasonable and would provide a mechanism that could work, and it would properly place the issue where it belongs before the tenants and owner. Mr. Swanson stated that, if the Council adopts the resolution and does not make it applicable to rent increases now in effect, the owner would immediately proceed with a Section 8 rental assistance program, on a private basis, for tenants who are experiencing an economic hardship due to the rent increases. Mr. John Barr, representing the owner of Lincoln Center, stated they do not support the ordinances and he requested the Council to support the resolution. Mr. Barr felt their rents are falr and reasonable and that the economic inflationary conditions create the problem. Mr. Barr reported that by July 1, 1981, the average rent in the park will be about $210/month. According to the Opinion Research survey of 60 comparable parks in the County, he reported that $205/month was the mean average rate as of February 1, 1981, and the median was $185. Mr. Barr stated the owner would begin a rent assis- tance program to help the truly needy in the park. Mr. Jim Cozik, 1225 Eighth Street, Sacramento, representing the Western Mobile Home Association, reported that 98 cities and counties in California have been faced with the rent control issue and all 98 have rejected mandatory rent control. He reported less than 6% of cities and counties in California have any form of rent control. He reported the City of Clovis spent over $20,000 on rent control hearings. Mr. Cozik stated that a recent newspaper article reported that the President's Housing Task Force would recommend an elimination of Section 8 funds for areas which have rent control. He indicated that rent control discourages investors and they are leaving California. Mr. Cozfk encouraged the construction of more affordable housing. He reported that 19 cities and counties have adopted a reasonable and working resolution similar to the one proposed for Cypress. Mr. Larry Wuebker, 8661 Acacia, Cypress, a committee chairman of the Buena Park-Cypress-La Palma Board of Realtors, stated they are opposed to rent control. He felt the issue of rents was a private matter between the owner and mobile home park tenants which they should resolve without governmental interference. He felt if rents at the park were lowered for hardship cases then they would be subsidized by the other tenants. He recommended that the Council take no action. RECESS: Mayor Evans called a recess at 9:15 p.m. The meeting was called back to order at 9:30 p.m., with all Council Members present. Mr. John Anderson, representing the tenants, stated that mobile home parks are a unique form of housing by virtue of their problems. He stated the tenants support the rent mediation board ordinance because it is not rent control. He felt the resolution would be unsuccessful and would not accomplish much. Mr. Anderson reported that tenants at the park feel there has been a decrease in services and therefore object to the rent increases. Councilmau Rowan spoke in opposition to rent control and stated he did not support the ordinance and resolution proposals. He suggested that the City continue its investigation of Section 8 rental assistance. Councilman Mullen stated be did not favor the City's interference in a private matter but felt the tenants needed an equitable bargaining position. - 7 - City Council Minutes February 9, 1981 It was moved by Councilman Lacayo and seconded by Councilman Mullen that the Council approve the fo]lowing Ordinance by title only, title as follows: ORDINANCE NO.
