Analysis: The Mobile Home Advisory Board (MHAB) is an advisory body to the City Council that works on issues that may improve the quality of life in Huntington Beach's 18 mobile home parks. The MHAB addresses these issues by providing a forum for communication among mobile home residents, park owners, and the City Council. The MHAB is comprised of nine members who equally represent mobile home park residents, park owners, and the Huntington Beach community at large. The MHAB currently has a vacancy for one mobile home park owner member, with a second opening up at the end of this month. The City duly advertised the vacancies, and City Council liaisons, Kim Carr and Mike Posey, recommend appointing Vickie Talley as an owner member of the MHAB. Should she be appointed, her term would become effective immediately and expire on August 5, 2025. It should be noted that Ms. Talley does not own a mobile home park in the City of Huntington Beach.
