The other park where residents have complained is Rancho Huntington. The owners
of this park have offered long term leases to the residents of the park for the past
several months and over 60%of the residents have signed the.leases. Tbese.leases
limit annual rent increases to 5%to 6%.
Both of the Parks as well as all of the other mobile home parks in the city offer rent
assistance programs to their low-income residents.
We respectfully submit that rent control is not the answer and that the o%mers of
Huntington Beach mobile home parks and residents are working together on
alternative solutions to address issues raised.
We urge the City Council to approve the recommended action and remove the Ballot
Measure related to Huntington Beach Charter.Section:803:from the November 2,014

Dear City Council Members,
Please do not vote to pull the Charter Amendment to Section 803.
Mobilehome homeowners in Huntington Beach need your support. They
innocently purchased their homes in mobilehome communities where future
rent raises were within their budgets, especially those Seniors and Veterans
and others on fixed incomes. To allow any park owners to raise the rents on
a piece of dirt beyond the cost to operate and a reasonable rate of return is
not illegal, but is unethical.
There are no protections without a Rent Stabilization Ordinance (RSO) from
greedy park owners, or from the ""good" park owners selling their park to
Investors who in turn raise the rents on purpose beyond the means of the
low and very low income homeowners. The intent is obvious, and that is to
1
evict the homeowners and take over the homes so they can either rent or
sell the home to a new homeowner with a higher income. These displaced
citizens of Huntington Beach have been forced to abandon their homes and
almost everything in them. Many were forced to move miles away from
their medical facilities and families. Still others are on the streets or living in
their cars. Huntington Beach should not have this legacy.
Please have compassion for those less fortunate people. Retirement pays
only a fixed amount, and there is no way to keep up with the exorbitant rent
increases in some of the parks. The mobilehome homeowners are
frightened. Please support them by giving them this chance. Hopefully, the
citizens of Huntington Beach will also have compassion and vote to assist the
mobilehome homeowners by changing the Charter, thereby paving the way
for a RSO.
If we do not get this passed by the Voters and a Rent Stabilization Ordinance
in place, I fear we will see several of the "good" park owners becoming
greedy too, and raising their rents up to this artificial "market rent being set
by the more greedy park owners.
Thank you for all you have done for Huntington Beach citizens. Your job is
not an easy one, and we place our trust in you to do the right thing.

Hello,
My husband and I have lived in Huntington Beach for nearly 35 years. Some of those years we were
renters. I do not own rental property but, do own my home the past 30 year.
We feel that land owners have the right to increase at their own discretion. Taxes, water trash are all
items typically covered tay the landlords if you put a CAP on rnt increases you better decide how to put a
cap on
taxes, water and trash. 11 do RENT my place of business so I do also pay Rents to property owners.

I applaud your effort to reconsider placing a rent control measure on the upcoming ballot.
Rent control has never proved to be successful.. I leads to dilapidated neighborhoods vs vibrant
improving areas.
Mostly, it constitutes an unlawful "taking" of private property. It is beyond me how it was ever deemed
constitutional.
l for one will be watching the actions by our city council members and will donating money and voting
accordingly.

Mayor Harper and Members of the Council,
I support the recommendation on the August 11, 2014 agenda to REPEAL the Council's previous
action to place an amendment to the Property Rights Protection Measure, Charter Section 803, on
the ballot.
Why does it seem that government officials always way to target the senior citizens If you had to
live under the same conditions as regular folks, you wouldn't be doing this
Thank you for your support of the protection of Huntington Beach Property Rights/

Request# 19343 from the Government Outreach System has been assigned to you.
Request type: Comment
Request area: Inquiry to a City Council Member
Citizen name: Lisa McNeil
Description: To Mayor Matthew Harper and City Council Members,
I would like to thank the members of the City Council who have supported Huntington
Beach seniors and veterans in the past, and particularly thank Council Members Connie
Boardman and Joe Shaw for your continued support.
I just learned today that the mobile home rent stabilization measure is essentially dead,
and that one of the reasons it is being withdrawn is because residents should negotiate
with park owners. As you must know, residents of Rancho Huntington Mobile Home
Park have been trying to negotiate with Kort& Scott/Sierra Management for the past
year, to no avail.
I attended the last special city council meeting in July and personally witnessed Abe
Vigotti state to you that rent increases in Rancho Huntington are between $50 to $149
per month. Two weeks later, my 87 year old mother received a letter signed by Vigotti
that increases her rent by $199 per month. This is a 26%rent increase in one year. Her
entire monthly social security income now barely covers her payments to the park for
space rent and utilities. This leaves nothing for food, prescriptions not covered by
insurance, supplemental medical insurance payments, home taxes, home insurance,
home maintenance costs, etc.
My mother invested nearly her entire retirement savings of$200,000 to buy and make
necessary repairs to her home in 2004. If it sold today the home is expected to bring only
about $50,000, if the owners even agree to a sale.
I have been assisting my mom financially as much as I can but I am in my 50's, am
about to lose my profession of 20 years to outsourcing, and two years ago I developed a
severe form of autoimmune arthritis that has already required several surgeries and that-
is is going to make finding another job more difficult combined with my age. I am also a
renter and do not have a home that I can move my mom into.
i
Recently dozens of photos of my mom and dad and other relatives of mine that were
taken in Huntington Beach from the 1920's-1960's were added to an online photo
archive called OC Stories that is maintained by the County of Orange. There is also a
photo that was added of my mom's high school friend Billie Kennedy, a 90 year old
resident of Pacific Mobile Home Park. I think about my mom and Billie when I hear
about the city wanting to preserve historic resources. There are people who are living
historic resources with priceless historic memories who are being driven out of the city
by corporate owners who do not even live here or care anything about this city. I feel
despair that the current mayor and some members of the city council do not care either.
Thank you for taking the time to read my email.
Sincerely, Lisa McNeil

Dear Ms. Flynn,
As a thirty year resident of Huntington Beach, and as a voter who previously voted to not allow
rent control in our city, I want to voice my opposition to again trying to put this on the ballot!!
Rent control will not have any positive effects on this city, and as we already voted against this
idea, I see no reason to waste our time, energy and money on this issue once again!

Dear Councilman Sullivan
I am confused and since you introduced the initial proposed ballot measure I am writing to you. Why are people
who previously supported placing this on the ballot withdrawing that support? My first confusion stemmed
from an open letter in the OC Register from Mayor Harper and Councilman Carchio to you and the remaining
council members denouncing the notion of making this a ballot measure. I don't know why a full page "ad" was
necessary?Then the majority of the council supported the placement on the ballot. Then it became a ballot
measure with no teeth and now there is a special meeting to take it off the ballot. If council members were not
in agreement with placing this on the ballot for the people to decide, why did they vote in favor of placing it on
the ballot in the first place?
Thanks for your insight...

Subject: Rent Control Ballot Measure
Dear Councilman Katapodis:
Did you actually approve a November 2014 ballot measure re rent control to allow Huntington Beach
voters to express their support for protection of mobile home park residents? Did you actually change
your mind, and will no longer support the ballot measure? Are you actually receiving financial
remuneration from the Huntington Beach park owners to disenfranchise park residents?
My husband (77) and 1 (71) have lived in our mobile home for just one year. We hoped we could spend
the rest of our physically degenerating lives in peace and quiet as we prepare our hearts, minds and
souls for our final change of address: eternal heaven. But, alas, we find ourselves in the midst of
corporate terrorism and government corruption! You are DISTURBING OUR PEACE! You are personally
instrumental in threatening our very existence.
We see your kind every night on the news: Hezbollah, al-Qaeda, Hamas, et al. Then there's Russia
swooping over Ukraine threatening her sovereignty and occupying her land. You are as much a terrorist
as they are! The irony is that our federal government is equally terroristic! Why?Greed and power!
Our President has successfully remade our country and trashed our Constitution. Consider the IRS
scandal, VA scandal, US Border scandal, Begahzi scandal, et al. You have excellent role models for evil!
My analogy may seem farfetched, but it is not!
How can we who are physically weak and financially limited in resources resist such terrorism? If we
cannot trust our local government to protect and serve our minority status, who can we trust?
1
Maybe we should/could band together and refuse to pay rent increases. We could vote in our HOA to
establish a cut-off date to pay only our current rent amount, and not pay a penny more. Or we could
agree to a fair annual increase based on national cost of living figures. If we were to stand united,the
park owners would have a huge challenge attempting to evict ALL of us from our tiny patch of land.
Perhaps park owners could file liens against our mobile homes, but to what end ... our homes depreciate
faster than automobiles. They could cut off our gas,water and electricity ... but it would be difficult to
justify such draconian tactics since we would still be paying our original rent amounts.
We could join together and march (or roll in our wheel chairs and scooters) en mass on city hall.
Attending Council meetings has been a waste of time. What other recourse is there for us?
Just imagine the publicity! It would have national proportions. You and your park owner cohorts would
become as infamous as Bernie Madoff.
Sir,this is a moral issue! Check your conscience and determine where a servant of the people—even
and especially old folks—should stand.
Respectfully,
Judy (and Glenn) Wright

Mayor Harper and Members of the Council,
support the recommendation ®n the August ju, 2014 agenda
to repeal the council's previous action to place an amendment to
the Property Rights Protection Measure, Charter Section 803, On
the ballot®
I am a resident of Huntington Beach and I oppose the rent control City Council is trying to get approved
by putting it on the ballot in November. I have firsthand knowledge of how it can cause a city to diminish
with my experience in Venice Beach. As a homeowner in the city we pay high property taxes and plan to
invest money to purchase another home as a rental. The rent we will charge needs to cover our costs and
should not be regulated by the tenant/city or we will not continue to invest our money in homes within the
city limits.
1
A friend of mine had to pay his tenants almost $30K so their family could sell a home they had owned for
40 years. The tenants had lived there about 10 years, paid less than 1,200 a month in rent, the owners
never raised their rent, the home (Duplex) was located two blocks from the beach, 1500 sq ft upstairs unit
and if you stood on the balcony you could see the ocean. These tenants were their cousins and the
cousins went to the City of Venice who informed them of the rent control proceedings who then demanded
$30K and got it. They were family and demanded money to move. What would happen if they were
complete strangers? No one should be entitled to have control over a property they are renting.
Again, I OPPOSE the rent control in the City of Huntington Beach.

Subject: TO REMOVE THE BALLOT MEASURE Related To Huntington Beach Charter Section 803
Dear Councilman:
I and my wife are officers in our mobile home park's HOA here in Fountain Valley and have been watching
closely the proceedings in Huntington Beach and other cities in Orange County and Los Angeles County.
We are alarmed to hear of the sudden reversal of fortunes for mobile home residents in Huntington Beach.
You see,this is not a local problem, but a problem that is occurring in multiple counties, states, the nation.
Aggressive "roll-up" corporations using an "asset-stripping" type of business model have found "asymmetries"
in some mobile home parks and are rapidly displacing the earlier "mom-and-pop" style business models. The
traditional mom-and-pop park owners were typically better corporate citizens that balanced their decisions with
concerns for the community, the city and the residents.
Again this is an issue of business models and business practices - what benefits your community and city the
most.
If this were just about expensive beach land,that would be one thing. But the same issues are occurring
everywhere, inland, and in our own park, which is owned by a large "roll-up" corporation-Kort and Scott/
Sierra. Our park is not near the beach, we are in a residential area and are yet seeing rent raises comparable to
those experienced in Huntington Beach. Again, this about business models, and not particular to any areas of
Huntington Beach. What models do you support?
There are numerous and innovative efforts currently being made at local and state levels to bring back the
resemblance of fairness to mobile home park residents that are besieged by some aggressive owners. You have
the opportunity to help this effort and be among the leaders that show that good capitalism and good community
business practices are supported, but not rampant capitalism that strips assets and removes exorbitant amounts
revenue and living standards from the residents and the local community.
I urge you to reconsider your decision and work further with residents and good corporate citizens to promote
healthy business practices and work to heal the damage done to community members.
Please Urge mom-and-pop park owners to disassociate themselves from the businesses that are causing them
their current duress and urge those better-citizen park owners to speak out against those that sully their
reputation by association.
Please Urge MHET to purge its ranks of large aggressive corporate park owners and return to being an advocate
for the better-citizen park owners as was their original founding charter.
i
The mis-focus seems to be that park owners are synonymous with mobile home parks. It's being bandied about
that the park owners "make the parks" -that the park owners are "owners of the park". This is no more true than
to say that a landlord that rents a studio to an artists then "makes the artist" or is the "owner of the art". The
overall greatest investment in most mobile home parks is the buildings in the park - 95% of which are owned
and paid for by the residents. It is typically the residents that make the vast majority of investment in parks. Too
often these residents pay the taxes (via pass-throughs in their bills), too often they pay for the upkeep of the
common interests (via pass-thoroughs in their bills) and additionally they must maintain their house per rules
and regulations, pay insurance AND space rent for the hook-ups and land. This is a far cry from any traditional
type of relationship that an apartment renter has with his landlord. We are deeply concerned that park owners
are allowed to refer to themselves as landlords as if they resemble apartment owners, which they do not -
because the park residents typically fund the majority of the value of the park.
Because it is the residents that fund the park, and are the major investors in the park, let me leave you with
some thoughts about the value of preserving this form of habitation- and it is preserved by supporting the
residents and good-citizen park owners.

Mobile homes are one of the few, if not the only,NON-SUBSIDIZED affordable housing solutions. That means
that all mobile home residents BOUGHT their homes and are PAYING for them themselves. Some choose
mobile homes for affordability reasons. Others choose mobiles homes for convenience. Many have chosen them
for downsizing in retirement. What ever the reason - each and every resident is fully bearing the financial
responsibility for home ownership on their own, without charitable or otherwise financial assistance. You
should be proud.
THE PRIMARY MEDIUM-DENSITY HOUSING
Looking at the State of California's reporting requirements for cities,we see in each city's General Plan, the
designation of Medium-Density Housing almost exclusively applied to mobile home parks. Without the
residents investment in mobile home parks cities would see the elemination of Medium-Density Housing in
cities and the split of cities into the two extremes of High-Density apartments and Low-Density traditional
stick-built housing. Only two extremes cannot be good for the health of the community. Medium-Density
housing allows apartment owners a chance to participate in the
MOBILE HOMES ARE GREEN - AMONG THE GREENEST
We hear in the news, almost daily, about "going green", saving energy, reducing our "footprint" on the
environment. Well, mobile home owners are already there. When a mobile home is constructed, it uses less
energy than a conventional home of the same size. There is efficiency in the manufacture that reduces waste and
once in place on a lot,the WHOLE PARK consumes less energy than comparable stick-built homes. Mobile
homes leave less of an environmental footprint.
Whether you are an advocate of"green" or not. Just by living in a mobile home you have done tremendous good
in energy consumption and for the environment. You are probably well ahead of most residential, detached
homes. You should be proud.
MOBILE HOME COMMUNITIES HAVE STANDARDS
There are practically no mobile home communities that do not have rules and regulations that the residents sign
when they move into the park. Enforcement of the park rules and regulations varies in parks and is a continual
issue that residents bring up in all parks. But if you step back, and look at it from a distance, most parks actually
have a level of appearance and safety that they do not fall below. Be glad that your park tells residents when
they need to clean up, do repairs, etc. Drive around some stick-built home areas and see look for that home with
the weedy lawn, chipping paint, greasy driveway - the eyesores of the neighborhood. With rules and regulations
2
and diligent park management, many mobile home parks have cleaner and fresher looking parks overall. You
should be proud.
ITS THE MANAGEMENT OF THE PARK THAT ALSO MAKES THE DIFFERENCE
When mobile home residents begin to see that the actual park owner is falling below standards, they often begin
to do something about it. Yes, park owners,themselves,too often let their standards slip - and residents don't
just sit and take it! Mobile home park residents DO CARE about their community and what is happening. You
should be proud. There are mobile home parks that were purchased from the owner by the residents and are now
resident-owned parks (ROPs). It is a worthy goal of residents to prevent abuse by attempting to purchase their
own park and take control of it themselves. Aggressive park owners have a history of refusing to sell the park to
the residents.
MOBILE HOME RESIDENTS WORK TOGETHER TO MAKE A BETTER COMMUNITY
It was California mobile home residents,themselves, that created GSMOL (Golden State Manufactured Home
Owners League) and got the BEST mobile home residency laws (MRLs) in the USA written and passed into
law! However, the enforcement of those laws are too often up the the residents, requiring that they organize and
advocate for themselves. But residents did organize and are working to bring more residents into the group. In
two years, the number of GSMOL Chapters has gone from 5 to 35 in the three-county region of Zone C (Los
Angeles, Orange, and San Bernardino counties). That's progress!
Some park owners have found that residents don't understand the leases they are asked to sign. Park owners
have used these lease-contracts to get out of rent control and lawsuits. They have learned they can use the lease
to pass-through park maintenance costs to residents. The lease often gives them the ability to increase rent
annually, often in large amounts. But mobile home residents CAN and DO organize in sophisticated ways and
affect their community and local and state governments.
DO NOT LOSE THESE IMPORTANT ASPECTS TO YOUR CITY.
Thank You,
Donald Hart,_Vice President, Fountain Valley Estates Home Owners Association and GSMOL Chapter 235.

Dear Members of the Huntington Beach City Council:
.I am writing to express my disappointment in the MOBILE HOME rent stabilization measure
possibly being stripped from the November 2014 ballot at a Huntington Beach City Council
Special Meeting on Monday, August 11, 2014. That Councilmembers Katapodis and Carchio
feel that fireworks, a one-time-a-year issue, warrants being on the ballot yet they fail to see
where a vote of the people is needed for the protection of the homes and well-being of so
many Huntington residents affected by this mobilehome issue, is curious and disconcerting..
Councilmembers Katapodis and Carchio(along with Harper and Sullivan), you pulled the rug out
from under us.
Our desiring rent stabilization for mobilehome parks is strictly a mobilehome issue. It is not a
veteran, senior, or impoverished issue. All mobile homeowners will be impoverished once the
corporate owners own all of the Huntington Beach mobilehome parks if no protections are put
into place. Our plight does not affect regular homes, townhomes, condos, nor apartment
dwellers. Those homeowners also own the land where their property sets, or they rent a
specific dwelling.
Presumably, you know how our situation is different from any other homeowners': The
mobilehome park is one where one entity owns the home and another owns the land upon
which the home sets. Mobilehomes, or manufactured homes, are not like apartments, condos,
townhomes, or regular stick-and-brick homes. We have mortgages, pay our taxes, make
repairs, and, in addition, pay the corporate owner of the park a hefty rent for the piece of
ground under our homes. The owner is supposed to keep the park grounds and facilities in
good condition.
Councilmembers Katapodis and Carchio,you pulled this measure from the ballot in a year when
you are not running for City Council re-election. This action conveys that you wish to slip this
measure by the populace that you are supposed.to serve. Rather than empowering your
constituents, you are avoiding putting real issues before them. You appear to be afraid your
constituents would see the truth of this issue: Greedy corporations are being allowed to
unjustly strong-arm individual citizens out of their homes. Sadly, you have ignored the plea of a
large and politically active constituency who will remember your callousness in every future
election.
I have been a lifelong voting, conservative Republican for over 30 years. That is, I was a
lifelong, voting, conservative Republican through the 2012 election. Once I began paying
attention to local City Council positions and votes regarding manufactured homeowners in
mobilehome parks, I was taken aback by the Republicans' stance on "property rights." I have
Huntington Beach City Council
August 11, 2014
Page 2
changed my party affiliation as a result of watching the Republicans on the Huntington Beach
City Council. I have changed my party affiliation;due in large part because of the voting records
of Matthew Harper,Joe Carchio, Don Hansen,`Devin Dwyer, and recently, due to Dave Sullivan's
suspicious change in the ballot wording on this issue.
During the last six or more years, as more corporate owners entice family park owners to sell
their parks to negligent and gouging:corporate owners (such as Kort & Scott) for exorbitant
profits (even though homeowners through their HOAs have expressed their desire to the park
owners to purchase the parks where their homes set), homeowners in Huntington Beach
mobilehome park owners are being picked off with these unscrupulous dealings. Shorecliffs
and Pacific Mobile Home Parks are prime examples.
Republicans Matthew Harper, Joe Carchio, Don Hansen, Devin'Dwyer, and now Dave Sullivan
and Jim Katapodis, it is shameful that you are letting this happen in our "Compassionate" City.
Your decision in this vote is hurting the people who have made an honest investment in their
manufactured home. Many of them are Republicans who share what they believed to be your
values. I regret having voted for you in past elections, and in the future you can rely on me to
inform those you reach out to of your true "values." I will also expose your suspicious
connections to your lobbying groups, MHET (Manufactured :Housing Education Trust/Vickie
Talley), WMA (Western. Manufactured Housing Association/Julie Pauliej, or CAR (California
Association of Realtors- Barbara Delgleize-2014 City Council Candidate).
Rent stabilization is necessary for every single manufactured homeowner in the City of
Huntington Beach. Maybe not all of the parks require it.now, while they are` still owned;by
family units. However, every one .of`them will surely one day be purchased by unscrupulous
corporate owners unless they are purchased'instead by their residents.
have begun to lose faith that true "values" are behind your:actions. Show that you respect
your constituents and gain allies you can be proud of and put this,issue back on the ballot.
Earnestly,
JodieL. Woilman

> Dear Council Members,
> I am a home owner in Rancho Huntington Mobile Home Park. There are a few things that I
would like to make you aware of. I know that you have heard from many of the home owners. I
attended the meeting last time. I did not speak but listened to the close to 70 people who
spoke including the gentleman that represented the owners of this park. He sounded very
sincere. . .I listened to him say that "increases in our park ranged from $50.00 to $149.00 and
that it was on an individual basis. That they cared about the concerns of the people in the
park". So the very next day I went to see what my increase would be. I was told that
because it was a 90 day period where I would have had to sign a lease before Nov 1 st which
is my yearly date so my increase is automatically $149.00. I reminded her that I hadn't
reached the 90 days yet. Then I was told "well it had to be before I received my increase
letter" . I informed her that I hadn't received the letter. Then it was " we'll they are
sending them out". She said Everyone is getting the $149.00. I got a phone call a week later
and said my increase would be $195.00. Since we are on a limited social security income, I
asked if that would matter. I was told income has nothing to do with what the increase is.
They do not take that in to consideration.
> So obviously what he said at the meeting was to impress you on the council. But apparently
what he said was a lie. They are not concerned at all about us. This increase I am receiving
is a big hardship. It just doesn't seem right that they can increase our rent by anything
they want. We've worked hard all our adult lives and now at 71 I have to go back to work in
order to eat and have heat this winter.
> The other thing is that we appreciate all you have done to have us remain a senior park.
However, a mother and her two daughters (11 and 13) just moved in. When I asked the office
why she said "I .was told to take applications from everyone" I said, but this is a senior
park and she just repeated the statement.
> I strongly believe that if you do not put this on the ballot that you will be helping the
mobile home park owners and hurting the people that live in the parks. I believe that you
were voted into your office to "represent and help the RESIDENTS of Huntington Beach, not the
people that are trying to take the homes of Senoirs, Veterans! Disabled Huntington Beach
residents. Give us and the rest of the residents of Huntington Beach a chance to vote. . . .
> Thank you for taking the time to read and consider this email.

Subject: rent stabilization
Please support keeping the rent stabilization measure on the ballot for November, this is the only chance many seniors,
myself included have to get reasonable rent increases. I live in Rancho Huntington and my rent will increase by $200
November first. The first two years my rent went up by $40, Last year under Sierra Management it went up$50. This
increase represents four years of usual and customary increases. There is no way I can pay a mortgage and this rent
with more increases like this, I budgeted for$40-50 per year as customary. As of November it will be 50% of my net
income, and a 20% raise. I face the possibility of having to sell within a year having been here only four years; when
thought this was my last home. One of my neighbors who called Sierra about her$150 increase was told "We can raise
your rent every 90 days" and "its going to get worse hen she complained about the amount. This is the future of all mobile
home parks once they are sold to large corporations, please keep rent stabilization on the Ballot as we have had no
success in trying to deal with these despicable business practices on our own as an HOA.

Hi Jan,
No I don't mind.
My sister lives in a rent controlled MHP and it is well maintained. Here is the ordinance
language for Santa Paula.
An excerpt from the rent adjustments clause...
152.07 RENT ADJUSTMENTS.
(A) Annual adjustment based on the CPI. On February 1 of"each year, the rent may be
increased to an amount equal to the rent in effect on January 31 of the prior year
adjusted by 75% of the increase in the CPI. The increase in the CPI shall be equal to the
percentage increase between the CPI last reported as of October 30 of the.most recent
year and the CPI last reported as of October 30 of the year prior to that year. However,
the increase shall not exceed seven percent of existing rent. The increase shall be
annually calculated by the rent administrator and posted by December 1 of each year.
The amount of the increase shall be routed to the nearest one quarter of one percent. In
the event that the CPI decreases, no increase or decrease shall be authorized pursuant to
this section. It shall not be necessary for an owner to apply or submit an application for a
CPI increase. Across-the-board rent increases allowed pursuant to this section may be
accumulated and im plemented by the owner at any future time but not in excess of 12
1
months after the date so permitted and subject to the maximum limitation on increases
set forth in § 152.10.
(B) Rent adjustment based on capital improve-ments.
(1)An application for a rent increase based on the cost of a completed capital
improvement may be filed with the rent administrator. It shall be approved if it satisfies
the definition of a capital improvement set forth in § 152.02 of this subchapter and any
criteria for capital improvements adopted pursuant to regulations; provided, that any
increase granted shall be amortized over the useful life of the improvement and
apportioned equally among all rental spaces in the mobile home park. Any increase
granted under this division shall remain in effect only during the useful life of the
improvement.

Good morning, Gayle.
Thanks for your quick reply. Would you mind if I share your response with our City
Council and HOA board. I agree; for the past 30 years my sister has lived in this park
and the previous owners maintained it beautifully with minimal rent increases.
Stay well,

I don't know about any statistics. The parks can't become degraded because all of the
ordinances that I have read have provisions for their rent increases to be able to include
repairs or capital improvements (within reason).
You might want to give these attorneys a call. They could probably answer a few
questions without charging. I know Jeff Malaway has helped us before.

Yes, I was at the meeting. My feeling is they are just doing what they have to do to stop
the council from going forward. I do believe that we will have a better chance in 2016 if
the council members who promised to continue to work on it fulfill their promises. We
have three who really seem committed to the cause. Jill Hardy said she felt that we
didn't have enough time to prepare properly, to do enough research;to get the facts
2
needed. I think she is right, but I worry about the people who will not be able to manage
for two years with the $149.00 increases, and I don't believe a thing our park owners
say.
Do.you know if there are any statistics on the cities that have rent control to support us?
The park owners are saying that it will bring down property values and the parks will be
come degraded.

Hi Jan,
Were you at this meeting? This is a common tactic...to get the mobile home park owners
to work out leases". I don't think it's ever worked in favor of the residents.

Huntington council kills ballot measure on mobile-home rent control
By Anthony Clark Carpio
August 12, 2014 1 11:20 a.m.
The Huntington Beach City Council decided during a special meeting Monday to
remove a ballot measure that would have asked residents whether the city should amend
its charter to allow rent control in mobile-home parks.
City officials had approved the measure July 28, but since then, two council members
said they talked with one of the mobile home park owners who agreed to work out leases
with tenants.
Councilman Jim Katapodis, who brought forward the proposal to kill the measure,
thanked John Saunders, owner of Pacific Mobile Home Park and Huntington Shorecliffs
Mobile Home Park, for "stepping up to the plate" and working with his residents at both
parks on a five-year lease.
Councilman Joe Carchio, who co-authored the resolution to pull the measure off the
ballot, highlighted some components of the lease deal. He said rent increases would not
exceed 4% annually for residents paying at least 40% of their income toward rent.
Many residents from both parks have told council members about rent increases they
have faced this year, some as high as 62% in a month.
Katapodis said he believes Saunders will follow through with the agreements he has
proposed to his residents.
Saunders could not be reached for comment.
"I have also come to realize at this point that other mobile home park owners have been
3
fair on their dealings with their resident owners, raising space rental rates [that are]
acceptable to their residents, and I highly commend them for that," Katapodis said.
"I think they really hammered out a good deal," Carchio said. "If Mr. [Randy] Wells, the
president of the [Pacific Mobile Home Park] HOA [who] represents both of those
[parks] agreed to it with Mr. Saunders, then they are working in the right direction."
Carchio said rent control doesn't work, citing Detroit and Camden, N.J., as examples.
While Saunders has agreed to work with residents at his two parks, council members are
still concerned about the owner of Rancho Huntington Mobile Park, a senior-only park
where residents fear rents may increase if they do not sign a long-term lease.
Amber Monte, who represents Rancho Huntington owner Sierra Management, said 60%
of the residents have signed a lease.
However, resident Patricia Taylor, 76, said Rancho Huntington's homeowners
association has tried to work out a better deal with management and has yet to settle on
an agreement.
"If we can come to some kind of a compromise as a result of having[the ballot measure
pulled], it would serve a good purpose," Taylor said.
The proposal by Katapodis and Carchio passed on a 4-3 vote, with Mayor Pro Tem Joe
Shaw and council members Connie Boardman and Dave Sullivan dissenting.
Councilwoman Jill Hardy surprised many people in the council chambers by voting in
favor.
She had supported stabilizing rents at mobile-home parks since Sullivan brought the
issue forward at the council's July 21 meeting. However, she voted to pull the ballot
measure because she was concerned about making the situation worse between residents
and park owners.
Hardy vowed to bring the issue back during the 2016 elections, should it be needed.
"I can guarantee that if this isn't on the ballot this time and some of the bad practices that
have been going on continue or become worse, that there will be a strong organization, a
lot of time to prepare and a lot of money raised to do it right in 2016," Hardy said.
