Mobile home rent stabilization ordinance

Argued updating the ordinance with a hearing examiner would save the city hundreds of staff hours and simplify the rent review process.

Called as Gladys Valdovinos but introduced herself as Therese Valdovinos, president of the 400 Craig Drive Mobile Homeowners Association; she thanked staff for the workshops, said hundreds of residents endorsed the proposal, and urged the council to schedule its ordinance workshop before the fall rent-increase window.

Commended staff and the city attorney for the well-attended workshops, submitted a handout laying out the timeline — a second reading by September is needed for changes to take effect before next year's rent increases — and asked the council to schedule its study session promptly.
