68 Mr. Thomas Lee stated he checked with Consumer Affairs, and others, and was told if it could be proven that (1) there is a shortage of mobile homes in the area, and (2) that rental increases are unjustified or have been raised out of propor- tion, which he felt the majority of residents at Lake Cadena have already proven, then a rent stabilization ordinance would be in order and necessary for these tenants and residents. Mr. Lee said he could not understand how the City Attorney and Staff could write or prepare an ordinance that some of the Council Members would consider unconstitutional or illegal. Mr. Lee concluded he was requesting that the City Council reconsider this matter and do something to help the residents at Lake Cadena. Mrs. Phyllis Brooks, resident of Lake Cadena, also spoke to the Council Members regarding a rent stabilization ordinance, stating it was the responsibility and obligation of the City Council to protect their citizens from greedy landlords and monopolizing businesses.
