Funding Source: Not Applicable. Recommended Action: Motion to: Approve the appointment of John Sisker as Mobile Home Resident Representative to the Mobile Home Advisory Board, serving a gap term until August 5, 2007 and thereafter a full term that will expire on August 5, 2011. Alternative Action(s): Do not appoint the proposed candidate and direct staff accordingly. Analysis: The Mobile Home Advisory Board (MHAB) is an advisory body to the City Council that works to ensure the quality of life in Huntington Beach mobile home parks. The MHAB addresses issues that affect the City's 18 mobile home communities by providing a forum for communication among mobile home residents, park owners, and the City Council. Such issues range from the City's mobile home park conversion ordinance to park rules and regulations. From time to time the board works to mediate certain disputes that arise between landlords and tenants. The MHAB currently has three vacancies. Two vacancies are due to the lack of mobile home park owners interested in serving on the board. One vacancy was created when Pauline Robison recently resigned from the Board. The proposed replacement Mobile Home Resident Representative, John Sisker, will occupy Ms. Robison's former position on the MHAB. REQUEST FOR CITY COUNCIL ACTION MEETING DATE: 5/7/2007 DEPARTMENT ID NUMBER: ED 07-10 For the past few months the City informed the public of the MHAB recruitment through the following means: the City Clerk posted an announcement at all public libraries and at the Civic Center, the recruitment was advertised on the City's HBTV3 scroll, and local newspapers carried an article about the vacancy. Applications were received from four mobile home park residents who expressed interest in serving on the board. After reviewing the applications, City Council Liaisons Debbie Cook and Joe Carchio have recommended John Sisker for appointment to the board. Because the term of the vacant resident representative board position will expire in only three months, staff recommends appointment of the proposed candidate, John Sisker, for a gap - term to expire on August 5, 2007 and also for a full four-year term which will expire on August 5, 2011. Attachment 1 presents a current membership roster of the MHAB showing the recommended appointee. Strategic Plan Goal: ENGAGING THE COMMUNITY - Increase community involvement, dialogue, and outreach by educating residents about opportunities for involvement such as how to donate to projects, volunteer, access information, and offer opinions through the website and other means. The MHAB has been directed to recruit members from the business, public and non-profit community to speak to and educate guests and members on mobile home related subjects and issues. The proposed candidate is being recommended because of his personal experience as a mobile home owner and park resident, his past experience as a member of a non-profit organization that represents the interests of mobile home residents and, as a business person, his familiarity with the marketing, purchase, sales and installation of manufactured housing. By recruiting and appointing such members to the MHAB, the City is encouraging involvement, dialogue and outreach within the mobile home community. Environmental Status: Not applicable.
