DATED THIS 26th day of June, 1989. Joe Hunt, Chairman Seal Beach Redevelopment Agency I Joanne M. Yeo, Secretary Seal Beach Redevelopment Agency" The Executive Director made reference to the report provided to the Agency from Mr. Parrington, Special Legal Counsel, and noted that the information requested of the Trailer Park owner has been received and reviewed, therefore it would be appropriate for the Agency to now approve the increase. In response to members of the Agency, Mr. Parrington explained that'the rental adjustment reflects an approximate three percent increase for the past three years or nine percent total, that outside of conducting an independent audit, the expenditures have been verified, specifically insurance, ground lease rent, and legal and accounting expenses, of which there had been prior question. He reported that the income qualification of tenants has primarily been verified by the Park, the criteria for low and moderate income housing tied to the mean income for Orange County, and confirmed that pursuant to the agreement the Agency should insure through examination that the income verifications have been performed by the Park. Mr. Parrington explained that the Agency's Declaration would not apply to subleasing of a unit, comprised of a lot and trailer, as the Covenants and rent control apply only to the lot. He added however that the Park management would have control over subleasing of the units pursuant to State law, and that either a tenant or sub-tenant would be subject to the restrictions and conditions under the Covenants. Agencymember Laszlo stated he felt the income of Park residents should be verified at least every two years. The City Manager suggested that questions of the Agency regarding low and moderate incomes could very likely be answered by the City representative from the Orange County Housing Authority. Mr. Parrington advised that the rent control provisions do not restrict the buying or selling of mobile homes in the Trailer Park, however if the buyer of a unit plans to reside in the Park that person would need to qualify under the income provisions, and explained that Park residents must qualify under the low to moderate income restriction initially, however there is no provision that would restrict an individual's income from subsequently exceeding the low/moderate level. . Agencymember Risner stated she felt it would not be a burden for the Park owner to provide a periodic ~eport to the Agency showing the income level of new res.idents or buyer of a unit. " I I Ms. Ellen Taylor, Trailer Park resident, noted an error in the Space Rental Schedule effective September 1st, relating to spaces one hundred thirty-seven-and one hundred thirty- eight. Mr. Parrington advised that that error had been detected and. the rent for space one hundred thirty-seven should be $245 and $251 for space one hundred thirty-eight. Ms. Taylor stated that pursuant to -the Covenants she felt that verification of incomes of those persons entering the Park should be done on an annual basis, requested that the Agency continue to monitor the rents and be aware of a continuing sewer problem in the Park. Ms. Taylor also reported her knowledge of several Park residents with an annual income of less than $6000, the rental increase having 7-10-89 a significant impact on them. appreciation to the Agency for approved in 19B1 and for their Park expenses. Ms. Taylor expressed maintaining the Covenants as attention to the reported Risner moved, second by Grgas, to adopt the rental increases for the Trailer Park, effective September 1, 19B9 as corrected to reflect the rent for spaces one hundred thirty- I seven and one hundred thirty-eight as $245 and $251 respectively. AYES: NOES: ABSENT: Grgas, Laszlo, Risner, Wilson None Hunt Motion carried Mr. Parrington reported that Mr. Dawson has obtained Section B rental assistance for those certain tenants that may realize a problem from the rental increases. Agencymember Laszlo asked that verification of entry incomes of Park residents include those who sub-lease. Mr. Parrington clarified that a verification would include all residents to insure their eligibility at such time as they entered the Park. Agencymember Risner suggested that if that process became cumbersome, verification of those moving into the Park during the past year should be sufficient.
