Public Comment
Julie Paule, Western Manufactured Housing Communities Association, (WMA), stated that although WMA is grateful that the request to revisit the issue that annual adjustments are calculated using 100% of the increase in CPI (increasing with the rate of inflation), the 4% cap precludes park owners from realizing 100% of CPI. Ms. Paule also requested that prior to the next biennial review, staff consider inviting the stakeholders to meet and confer on issues as it seems to be beneficial to the overall process.
