OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF
SANTA ANA, CALIFORNIA
SEPTEMBER 21, 1987
The meeting was called to order at 2:24 p.m., in Room 423, City Hall,
20 Civic Center Plaza by Mayor Dan Young. Councilmembers present were
John Acosta, Daniel E. Griset, Ron May, Patricia A. McGuigan, and Mayor
Young. Also present were City Manager David N. Ream, City Attorney Edward
J. Cooper and Clerk of the Council Janice C. Guy.
Councilmembers Wilson B. Hart and Miguel A. Pulido joined the meeting at

COUNCIL STUDY SESSION
Mobile Home Mediation Service
Cindy Nelson, Executive Director of the Community Development Agency,
provided an update to the Council with respect to the request from Council
approximately six months ago for a survey with regard to mobilehome park
and apartment rents. She indicated that staff had conducted the survey,
the results had been reviewed by the Housing Advisory Commission and the
Council Housing Committee, and that the matter of solicitation of
mobilehome mediation services would be scheduled for action by the City
Council on October 19.
Housing Manager Pat Whitaker explained the underlying assumptions staff
had used in conducting the rent survey, and discussed in more detail the
statistics prepared by staff regarding rent increases. She noted the
Housing Advisory Commission was recommending solicitation of a two-tiered
mediation service, the first tier to address general park disputes, and
the second, rent mediation. She indicated the Commission also recommended
establishment of a committee to review mobilehome park issues.
Councilmembers expressed concerns with regard to the issue, noting a lack
of consensus among the mobilehome park residents, the need for feedback
from park owners with respect to rent increases, the "new" economics of
mobilehome living, and a general failure by both sides to endorse the
recommended mediation process.
