Public hearing To consider rental increases on mobile home spaces --I within the City of Chula Vista (Community Development Director) a. Ordinance 1997 Amending Title 9 of the Chula Vista Municipal Code by adding thereto a new Chapter 9.50 entitled "Mobilehome Park Space Rent Mediation" to create a mechanism for mediating mobilehome park space rents - First reading and adoption City Council Meeting - 3 - August 17, 1982 Housing Coordinator Gustarson explained that the proposed Mobilehome Park Space Rent Mediation ordinance establishes a process of review of any proposed rent increases in excess of the Residential Rent Component of the Consumer Price Index first by a negotiation committee in the particular park where the increase is proposed and, if unsuccessful at that point, by a mediation panel. The Ad Hoc Committee on Mobilehome Issues considered the proposed ordinance on August 5, 1982. The spectrum of opinions ran from the desire for no ordinance mediating rents to a desire for binding arbitration. The consensus of the committee was that, if the proposed ordinance was adopted, a threshhold should be included; however, there was much discussion as to the proper index to use to trigger application of the ordinance mechanism. Additionally, the committee was in agreement that the ordinance should contain a sunset clause. The committee members will convey their comments to the Council this evening. Mr. Gustarson added that he would recommend two added conditions to be put into the ordinance: l} a five year sunset clause; and, 2) that language be added which would indicate that the total rent increases in a calendar year should not exceed the threshold index as proposed. If the combined increases for the calendar year exceed the threshold then the ordinance mediation procedure would come into play and all increases would be considered at that review. Speaking for the ordinance were Bob Graham, 1425-184 Second Avenue; Robert Briggs, llO0 Industrial Boulevard D-28; Harold Duncan, llO0 Industrial Boulevard; Cliff Roland, llO0 Industrial Boulevard; George Hilger, llO0 Industrial Boulevard; Illeene Ingram, 3 Corso Pi Italia. In summary their reasons were: l) Most of the people that reside in mobilepark areas are senior citizens. 2) The economic eviction would create a real stress to them. 3} A lease should be given to all residents and this lease should be at least 8 one year term. 4) In the absence of a local rent stabilization ordinance the law does not require the park manager to justify a reason for any rent increase. 5} The residents did not benefit from Proposition 13 decrease, the park owners did. 6) Concern with the makeup of the Negotiation Commission. 7) Submitted facts and figures on surveys taken of 18 different parks in the area. 8) Strongly object to the CPI; that is not the answer. City Council Meeting - 4- August 17, 1982 9) There is no division in the CPI for the residents of single family homes and those in mobilehomes. lO) Consideration should be given to the escalating rent increases. ll) Mediation would cost between $300 and $400 a day, one-half of which costs would have to be borne by the mobilehome tenters. 12) The renters would not be able to pay for the cost of a Recording Secretary to take comprehensive minutes. 13) The ordinance should be binding on all parties. 14) Referred to SANDAG's report and submitted other survey data. 15) If the current mobilehome residents go down the drain as a result of miscalculation, it will have a great impact on the life styles of the people -- it would cause a loss of faith in government which cannot survive beyond the good will and consent of the people. 16) There should be a total disbandment and reorganization of the Mayor's Ad Hoc Committee into two separate factions; each reportable to the Mayor, until such time as an agreement can be reached. 17) The urgency moratorium be continued until arbitration ordinance has had sufficient time for study. 18) The urgency moratorium be blended into a more simply written arbitration ordinance, one which will show that when the first arbitration attempt fails that the moratorium will then be imposed upon the park or parks which fail to try the next two forms of arbitration. 19) That the Council ask the WMA for a cost of their operation schedules. 20) Negotiations for space rent increases should start at 4% which is what the government pays social security recipients and federal retirees. 21) To recognize the difference between space rents and apartment rents and come up with an ordinance that would be mandatory and binding. Those speaking in opposition were Gerald Fick, 352 Broadway, Rose Arbor Mobilehome Park; Roy Muraoka, 1478 First Avenue, Paris Garden Mobilehome Park; Melba McKay, 4 Broadway, Al's Trailer Haven; Frank Mohaupt, 330 Broadway; C. Brent Swanson, 203 North Golden Circle, Santa Aria representing the Chula Vista Mobilehome Park Owners' Association. In summary their remarks were: l) The mobilehome park owners do not want the ordinance passed. 2) Many of the residents are on well fixed incomes. City Council Meeting - 5 - August 17, 1982 3) Have operated a park for 22 years without any guidelines and have the lowest rent spaces in the City. ! 4) The rent spaces or any coaches in the park areas are there not " because the people cannot pay the rent. 5) There should be a reasonable return to the park owners and a 10% net return is a fair one. 6) The economic ability of the residents is not a relevant factor. 7) The problem of rent increases belong to the State and Federal Government which relates to the increased cost in energy. 8) It is not a question of age or of senior citizens, it is a question of giving the residents what they want. 9) The ordinance shou'ld be simplified. 10) Mandatory time limits should be put into the mediation process. ll) The Council should use the full CPI figures. 12) Since Council cannot legislate to the satisfaction of the mobilehome renters and therefore it should not legislate at all. 13) Describe lack of recreational facilities in some of the mobilehome parks in the City. There being no further comments either for against, the public hearing was declared closed. Council discussion followed regarding the problems in a minority of the park areas in the City; the ordinance should not be a rent control one, it is a fact finding and mediation ordinance; cannot support binding arbitration; question of rental increases being retroactive; the sunset clause should be put in; agree that the total increases in one year should not exceed the allowable threshold figure; suggestions for changing some of the wording in the proposed ordinance; and the need for comprehensive versus summary minutes.

As in the past, the intersection fell significantly short of meeting the statewide accepted criteria for installation of a traffic signal and it ranked below 13 other unsignalized intersections in the 1982 Traffic Signal Priority List.

City Engineer Lippitt noted the increased traffic on Bonita Road as coming from Central Avenue being closed, Sweetwater Road being closed to through traffic because of the waterline going in and asked that the study not be made until the Spring after such time after the college reopens in the Fall and "H" Street is opened up to traffic.
