Mayor Sondhi stated that Council Members have expressed their concerns to residents
of Lincoln Center Mobile Home Park and she has encouraged Ms. Yakovetic to seek
legal advice on this issue. She stated that staff has provided research materials to the
City Council and that the City Council has asked staff to continue working with the
residents as much as legally possible.
The City Manager stated that staff has provided information to the Council regarding
various options, met with Sierra Management, and spoke with Ms. Yakovetic about
avenues the tenants can explore, including the initiative process. He stated that staff has
exhausted its resources and believe no additional assistance can be offered on this
matter unless further direction is given by the Council.
The City Attorney discussed his experience with jurisdictions that have municipal rent
control. He stated that there is a statewide organization that is dedicated to protecting
residents from landlord abuse under the state mobile home residency law. He stated that
state law has dramatically changed and land owners must be assured a constitutional
fair return on their investment in the form of annual rent increases or risk huge
judgments for engaging in acts of inverse condemnation.
The City Attorney stated that the solution to this problem is through the initiative process.
If the residents are unhappy with the current status of municipal or state law, they have
the power to put together a petition to adopt municipal rent control in the local
community. He stated that municipal rent control has not been well received in Orange
County.
The City Attorney commented on the rules of protocol on speaking to the Council
collectively so that individual Council Members are not attacked.
