Mayor Schlosser opened the meeting for public hearing. Addressing Council were:
Stephen White, attorney representing the park tenants. Mr. White had a list
of comments and questions by the tenants which he presented.
1. Section 8.10.030, item J. He asked what the extent or limit was of
that inquiry? Would this include the owners records and documents to
see if the increase was really justified?
Council concurred with a suggestion by Councilman Mikels that the owner
provide the petitioners with information identified in "A" through "F".
Such changes were made in the Ordinance by the City Attorney.

2. Section 8.10.050, section C. He said this doesn't limit the number of
increases which could be imposed. He said with this language, it would
be possible for a park owner to make 50% of the increases ten times a
year.
Council discussed this section in length. Mr. Dougherty told Council
that if there were a language change, then this would require a new
reading of the ordinance.
Mr. Dougherty drafted the following language change: "The proposed rent
increase when added to all rent increases which were effective during
the 12 months immediately proceeding the effective date of the proposed
rent increase computes to be a sum greater than seventy-five (75%) of
the percentage by which the Los Angeles-Long Beach-Anaheim Area Consumer
Price Index for Urban Wage Earners and Clerical Workers, as reported
by the United States Bureau of Labor Statistics, has increased in the
twelve (12) months immediately preceding the date of the most recently
published CPI information."
3. Section 8.10.060. He asked if it had been discussed to have a moderator
present? He felt that it might be advisable to have a facilitator present.
The City Attorney explained that it was not the intent to require this
at this stage, but that this does not preclude a moderator being present.
The City Attorney said that some parks are owned by a corporation, and
obviously they would appoint someone to represent the corporation. There
was nothing to preclude the tenants committee from having an advisor
present. He said the spirit of this was for an owner and tenant to meet
person to person.
Councilman Frost suggested that section 8.10.020 could be changed to
reflect "a committee representing the tenants."
The City Attorney concurred with the suggestion by CoUncilman Frost that
section 8.10.020 should read "a com~ittee representing the tenants."
4. Section 8.10.110, section A. Mr. White asked if this petition would
be dismissed with prejudice?
The City Attorney stated that if a meeting is not attended without a
cause, then the petition would be dismissed. The intent was to be with
prejudice.
Also addressing Council were:
Jack Emmerson, resident of Chapparrel Heights. He had questions regarding
the number of increases an owner could impose. Councilman Mikels explained
there could be several as long as they did not exceed 75% of the CPI.
Harry Pate, Alta Laguna resident.
There being no further comments, Mayor Schlosser closed the public hearing.
The City Attorney reviewed the changes which the Council had made.
City Clerk Wasserman read the title of Ordinance No. 148 again for first reading
to include the changes.
Motion: Moved by Palombo, seconded by Frost to waive further reading. Motion
carried unanimously 5-0.
Mayor Schlosser set August 5 for second reading to include the Resolution and
Agreement at the August 5 meeting.
Mayor Schlosser called a recess at 8:20 p.m. The meeting reconvened at 8:35 p.m.
with all members of Council and staff present.
