56 Mr. Frank Rebollo,Mana Manager of the Chamber of 9 Commerce and resident of the Lake Cadena Mobile Home Park, also urged the City Council to consider and approve the proposed ordinance on rent stabilization, until the State can pass legisla- tion on this matter to control these problems. Mr. Rebollo also stated that he has received letters of intimidation and harassment from the owners of the park, which he read to the Council Members. Other proponents speaking in favor of the proposed ordinance on rent stabiliza- tion were Mr. Bill Godfrey and -Mrs. Virginia Campher of Lake Cadena Mobile Home Park. Councilman Hayes asked about the possibility of the one year lease, and how the tenants felt about it. Mr. Lee answered a lease might be all right, however, the one being offered by the owners of Lake Cadena contains a clause stating they can raise the rent anytime during that one year period. Mr. Humphreys added the company is willing to delete this portion from the lease, and the quoted rent would remain the same for one full year, from the date the lease became effective. Councilman Rehrer asked how the company sets up the rental fees they charge, and how they vary. Mr. Humphreys stated the tenant is charged according to the size of space he wishes to rent, whether it be single wide or double wide, and the location in the park. Councilwoman Cisneros stated she felt that the attorney and owners of Lake Cadena had received proper notification and have had ample time to prepare their response on this matter. Mrs. Cisneros said the Council and Staff should move ahead on this item, and see what can be accomplished. Mayor Gonzales stated he would like to recommend the City Council consider and pass first reading of Ordinance No. 1539, and during the next two weeks prior to second reading of the ordinance and the regular Council Meeting of May 2, 1978, Staff be instructed to do some fact finding on this matter and report back to the Council. Mayor Gonzales suggested that the City Manager, Planning Director and Community Development Coordinator get together and research these items, and possibly utilize previous housing data compiled by the CDA Staff. City Manager Calabrese stated that current manpower provisions did not anti- cipate the work necessary to collect this data, however, given an adequate amount of time, this can be accomplished. Mr. Calabrese said that although Staff will not be prepared to present a complete report within the next two weeks, he feels they will have a substantial amount of material for Council to review. Moved by Mayor Gonzales, seconded by Councilman Hayes, to pass first reading of Ordinance No. 1539, and direct Staff - the City Manager, Planning Department, and Community Development Office - to make a fact finding report to the City Council by May 1, 1978.
