value.
MOBILE HOME PARKS The City Council considered the
Planning Commission Resolution
regarding Statement of Policy to
Guide and Assist Developers in Design of Mobile Home Parks.
Tom Ballas, mobile home dealer at 436 South Harbor and President of the
California Mobile Home Association, told the Council that a problem has
arisen in the past year with the development of mobile home parks; that
sales of mobile homes are now taking place at the mobile home park site;
that the businessman who sells mobile homes must comply with ordinances
regulating that business but the on-site sale is not similarly regulated;
that this puts the businessman at a disadvantage because his overhead,
cost of doing business and capital outlay are much greater than the land
developers; and that as soon as the park site is full, the business is dis-
banded and the buyers are left without service for their homes. He stated
further that when a park has a sales lot in it, it is commonly called a
"closed park"; that spaces are rented only to those who purchase mobile
homes at that location; that such purchases are approximately $500 to
$2500 over and above its normal price; that shortage of spaces have created
a black-market situation whereby the off-site dealer must pay $650 for the
space if the mobile home is bought from him; and thai space rental is
usually on a month-to-month basis subject to a 30-day notice to vacate by
the park manager or owner. The City Manager assured Mr. Bal!as that
the City would look into the matter and give any help possible to alleviate
these situations.
On motion of Councilman Herrin, seconded by Councilman Evans and
unanimously carried, Planning Commission Resolution No. 5912 regarding
Statement of Policy to Guide and Assist Developers in Design of Mobile
Home Parks was referred to the City Manager and staff for recommen-
dation and report.

CITY COUNCIL -45- February 16, 1970
CHARTER REVISION
COMMITTEE (continued)
possible Charter revisions be enlarged to seven or nine people and include
people from medical, teaching and religious professions.
Councilman Patterson responded that Mrs. Boer was the only person who
had suggested there was a need for Charter Amendments; that creation of
a large committee was unnecessary unless there was some basic purpose
behind it; and that the small Council Committee could review every pro-
posal and then submit it to the Council.
Councilman Herrin stated that, in his opinion, there were no problems
with the Charter; and that the suggestions made would not improve it.
Councilman Evans stated that, in his opinion, Mrs. Boer should be given
an opportunity to enlarge on her ideas.
Mrs. Janice Boer objected to the fact that she had not been invited to the
meeting, nor to elaborate on her amendment suggestions. In response to
a question from Councilman Evans she stated that she had been advised of
the meeting by him.

seconded by Councilman Patterson and unanimously carried that her

bers and then to seven members died for lack of a second.
