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

File #: 22-338 MEETING DATE: 4/19/2022
mobile home park residents, park owners, and the Huntington Beach community at large.
The MHAB has four (4) vacancies: two at-large members, one park owner member, and one resident
member who will vacate the seat once the City Council appoints a new member. The City duly
advertised the vacancies and received a total of 13 applications (excluding two withdrawals). City
Council liaisons, Kim Carr and Dan Kalmick, reviewed all applications, conducted interviews as
necessary, and made recommendations to appoint the following applicants to each board position.
Name Position Terms
Scott MillerAt-Large Expires August 4, 2024
Caroline "Carey Jo" Chase Resident Expires August 4, 2024
Valerie Avila Owner Expires August 4, 2024
Mr. Scott Miller is an attorney and Huntington Beach resident for 45 years and has been an active
member of City activities. Ms. Caroline Chase is a manufactured home owner and resident at the
Sea Air Mobile Home Park and has many years of professional experiences in design, sales, and
residential loan origination. Ms. Valerie Avila is a regional manager at the Investment Property Group
(IPG) with 20+ years of professional experience in the manufactured housing industry. It should be
noted that Ms. Avila is not a Huntington Beach resident and does not own a mobile home in the City.
However, Chapter 2.112 (Mobile Home Advisory Board) of the Huntington Beach Municipal Code
states that the MHAB shall be represented by three owner members or their designated nominees
(who may or may not reside in Huntington Beach). Ms. Valerie has secured and submitted such a
letter of nomination from IPG who owns two parks in the City and supports her appointment to the
MHAB.
Should they be appointed, the terms of Miller, Chase, and Avila would become effective immediately
and expire on August 5, 2024. The remaining vacant At-Large member position will be filled at a later
time as the City continues its efforts to recruit additional candidates.
