Dear Council Members,
In regards to Item #7, Mobile Home Rent Stabilization, how does this apply to Park Village, the mobile home park the City owns and which is managed by West County Community Services? As the Park Village sits on public land (which was purchased by citizens under the assumptions it was going to be a public park with public access not a site of private residences), how does the ordinance impact future use of the public land?
West County Community Services receives rent. What if their costs increase or people’s circumstances change and a rent increase is in order?
There needs to be clarity on the ordinance and how it applies to Park Village, the public land on which Park Village sits, and the lease agreements WCCS has in place.
What will happen if the City decides that it wants to transition Park Village into a public park and fulfill its original promise to the Sebastopol’s Citizens or needs to transition to higher rents in order to cover the maintenance, mortgage, utilities and other costs associated with the operation of Park Village and currently paid by the Citizens of Sebastopol? Please clarify the ordinance to address Park Village.
Thank you,
Kate Haug
