provide".

rental spaces.
The Mayor asked if there was anyone present in the audience
wishing to present new information in regard to the proposed Rent
Stabilization Ordinance.
Mr. Tom Dawson, resident of Pacific Mobile Estates,
addressed the Council, noting that the continuous rent increases
have been cruel and unfair and that basing their return on an
inflated valuation is illegal.
The Mayor noted that this section of the ordinance was
eliminated from the proposed ordinance; leaving in a provision
that their financial situation could be considered by the
Arbitrator.
The Mayor asked if there was anyone further in the audience
wishing to speak on the matter.
Ms. Sandra Hennigen, resident of Pacific Mobile Estates,
addressed the Council noting that a friend of hers living in a
double-wide mobile home in Silicon Valley pays the same rent as
she pays in Gilroy for a single-wide mobile home.
The City Attorney noted that if the ordinance is adopted it
will not go into effect until thirty days, or prior to the
effective date of the notice of increases that residents
received. Those increases are not necessarily effective if in
fact 51% of the non-lease tenants petition for arbitration, and
would be settled by arbitration.

Res.87-32
Ms. Mary Ellen Rocha, Operation Sentinel, addressed the
Council and requested clarification of the 51% vacancy. Planning
Director Dorn noted that if there were only five tenants receiving
a rent increase they would need to get 51% of signatures of the
entire park, however there is a requirement in the ordinance that
the rent notices must be forwarded to everyone in the park at the
same time even if it is effective in six months instead of just
two months away. Everyone would receive a notice of rent increase
at the same time for any year and would know what their rent
increases would be and could then decide at that time whether or
not they wished to sign an arbitration petition.
Motion was made by Councilman Palmerlee seconded by
Councilwoman Albert that the reading of Ordinance No. 87-8 be
wavied and that it be adopted.
