AYES: NOES: Brown, Campbell, Forsythe, Fulton, Hastings None Motion carried I ORAL COMMUNICATIONS Chairman Campbell declared Oral Communications open. Mr. Gordon Shanks, Surf Place, inquired if any information was available in response to his prior question relating to leases in the Trailer Park. The City Attorney recalled the question raised was whether the Agency can audit the Trailer Park as to rental fees and subleases and whether the information being sought could be obtained from an audit, to which he responded that the language relating to audits states that the Agency shall examine once a year any relevant records of operations, this to assure that the units are affordable for persons of low and moderate income. With regard to subleasing, it is not believed that would be a problem, however the Agency does have the authority to authorize an audit to assure that the units are still being rented under low and moderate income criteria. Mr. Shanks said he has heard of persons buying one unit, buying and moving to another, then moving elsewhere, subleasing the original unit for amounts of between $800 to $1100 per month, and the Agency does have a responsibility in this regard. Mr. Shanks said he has been informed as well that the CUP for the Park required the City to maintain the storm drain pump, which has been alleged that it has not. In addition, he recalled a suggestion during the two story cabana discussion that a committee be formed to look into some of the Park complaints, and questioned the status of that suggestion. In that the issue of an audit is not an agendized item for this meeting, the City Attorney suggested that it be placed on the agenda for an adjourned September 8th meeting, the intent being to confirm that the units continue to comply with low and moderate income guidelines. Agencymember Brown inquired if the audit would be performed by the Agency, staff or combination thereof. The City Attorney responded that in the past audits have been done by staff or a certified public I 8-25-97 accountant. Agencymember Brown noted his profession as an auditor and offered his services to perform the Trailer Park audit. Chairman Campbell suggested that the referenced drainage pump be checked, to which Agencymember Brown responded that the subject pump worked well last year, however offered to have it checked. There being no further comments, Chairman Campbell declared Oral Communications closed. I APPROVAL OF MINUTES Hastings moved, second by Brown, to approve the minutes of the July 28th regular meeting. AYES: NOES: Brown, Campbell, Forsythe, Fulton, Hastings None Motion carried AGENCY CONCERNS As she had done some time ago, Agencymember Hastings requested that the Trailer Park owners be directed to have a survey of the Park done, an actual survey, and bring the lots into conformity with the original plans for the Park. Chairman Campbell inquired as to information relating to the gates that were put in the fence along the River Channel. The Director of Development Services responded that that issue was forwarded to the Los Angeles and Orange County Flood Control Districts, the fence is their property, and it is understood they are contacting the persons who made the cuts to have the fence replaced as it was. Agencymember Hastings asked that a-letter be prepared for the signature of the Agency Chairman to be sent to the present owners of the Trailer Park. Agencymember Brown suggested that that request be postponed until the next meeting when an audit will be considered, thereafter the Park owners can be advised of both the audit and survey. Agencymember Hastings agreed. I ADJOURNMENT It was the order of the Chair, with consent of the Agency, to adjourn the meeting until Monday, September 8th at 6:45 p.m. By unanimous consent, the meeting was adjo~rned at 7:18 p.m. '1.~g~ retary I
