He reported the Park owner sent notices of the rent increase to the tenants approximately twenty-eight days after receipt of the request by the City, that even though the Covenant requires a minimum sixty day period between the date the City is notified and the notice to the tenants, by letter from the City the owner was so advised as well as of other deficiencies of the increase notice, an example being the proposed $103 per space increase where the Covenant provides that an increase must be proportional to actual expense increases that are documented by the owner, in other words increased proportionally to the existing rents, where as proposed some rents would increase over sixty percent, which is not appropriate. He mentioned also that adequate documentation has not been received with regard to legal, auto, and accounting expenses, all of which was pointed out to the owner by letter, the position of the City is that this constitutes a dispute and under the terms of the Covenant a rent increase can not be implemented until the dispute is resolved. The Agency's letter of July 21st advised of the intent to fulfill the obligation of the Agency without unnecessary delay to process and respond to the proposed increase however the terms the owner is required to meet have not as yet been met, therefore again, the proposed increase is not valid. He mentioned that his office was in receipt of about seventy to seventy-five percent of the increase notices received by the residents. The Director reported that as of this date a preliminary response to the July 21st letter of dispute was received via fax whereby the owner indicated a willingness to forego any rental increase based on legal, auto, and accounting expense categories, a willingness also to delay implementation of a rent increase until November 16th, the owner however takes the position that he has provided documentation for the remainder of expenses, not aware of any other information required by the Agency, and further, they acknowledged the Agency's dispute of the proposed flat rate rent increase and are prepared to revise same to a proportionate basis. The Director advised that this still does not fully resolve the dispute however the owner stated they are prepared to meet with the Agency for further discussion. Members of the Agency asked that copies of the rental request be provided the Trailer Park representatives and the Agency members as well. Boyd moved, second by Yost, to receive and file the report from the City Manager.
