HELLO, GOOD EVENING MAYOR AND MEMBERS OF CITY COUNCIL.
MY NAME IS LINDA AK AND I'M A RESIDENT OF FRIENDLY VILLAGE, A 330 SPACE SENIOR MOBILE HOME COMMUNITY HERE IN LAUB.
I'M HERE TO SPEAK ABOUT SOMETHING.
THE CITY OF LAHABRA HAS ALREADY RECOGNIZED AS IMPORTANT, PRESERVING MOBILE HOME HOUSING AS AN AFFORDABLE FORM OF HOUSING.
LAHABRA OWNS TWO MOBILE HOME COMMUNITIES.
ACCORDING TO THE CITY'S OWN HOUSING ELEMENT, THE CITY RESTRICTS RENT IN THESE PARKS TO KEEP THEM AFFORDABLE TO LOWER INCOME.
HOUSING CITY HAS ALSO DEMONSTRATED THAT REASONABLE RENT INCREASES AND PROTECTION FOR VULNERABLE RESIDENTS.
AND TOGETHER IN 2003, AFTER 10 YEARS WITHOUT A RENT INCREASE, THE HARBOR HOUSING AUTHORITY APPROVED A STRUCTURED 5% ANNUAL INCREASE FOR FIVE YEARS IN ITS TWO PARTS.
AT THE SAME TIME, IT ESTABLISHED FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE FOR QUALIFIED LOW, VERY LOW, AND EXTREMELY LOW INCOME HOUSEHOLDS TO HELP OFFSET THESE INCREASES.
THIS DEMONSTRATES THEN IMPORTANCE.
PRINCIPAL MOBILE HOME COMMUNITIES CAN REMAIN FINANCIALLY SUSTAINABLE WHILE RECOGNIZING THE NEED TO PROTECT RESIDENTS FROM HOUSING COSTS.
WE CANNOT, RESIDENTS OF PRIVATELY OWNED MOBILE HOME PARKS FACE THE SAME AFFORDABILITY CONCERNS, BUT WE DO NOT NECESSARILY HAVE THE SAME PROTECTION.
THIS IS ESPECIALLY IMPORTANT AT FRIENDLY VILLAGE, WHICH IS THE CITY'S HOUSING ELEMENTS IDENTIFIES AS A SENIOR COMMUNITY, WE OWN OUR HOMES.
WE RENT A SMALL SPACE OF LAND BENEATH THEM.
UNLIKE AN APARTMENT RENTER, WE CANNOT SIMPLY PICK UP OUR HOMES MOVE AND RENT WHEN RENT BECOMES UNAFFORDABLE.
MANY OLDER HOME MOBILE HOMES CANNOT REALISTICALLY OR ECONOMICALLY BE RELOCATED AT ALL.
MANY OF OUR RESIDENTS LIVE IN SOCIAL SECURITY PENSIONS AND FIXED RETIREMENT INCOMES.
WE ARE NOT ASKING FOR RENTS TO BE FROZEN, NOR ARE WE SUGGESTING THAT PARK OWNERS SHOULD NOT RECEIVE A
[00:10:01]
REASONABLE INCREASE OR A FAIR RETURN ON THEIR VESTMENT.WE'RE ASKING FOR REASONABLE, PREDICTABLE, AND SUSTAINABLE INCREASES WITH SAFEGUARDS THAT RECOGNIZE THE UNIQUE POSITION MOBILE HOME OWNERS FACE.
LAHABRA HAS ALREADY DEMONSTRATED THROUGH ITS OWN MOBILE HOME PARTS THAT PRESERVING AFFORDABILITY IS AN AFFORDABLE PUBLIC POLICY GOAL.
WE RESPECTFULLY ASK THE CITY COUNCIL TO EXTEND THAT CONVERSATION TO THE RESIDENTS OF LA HABER'S PRIVATELY OWNED MOBILE HOME COMMUNITIES AND CONSIDER THAT SAFEGUARDS CAN PROVIDE LONG-TERM STABILITY AND AFFORDABILITY FOR THOSE HOMEOWNERS AS WELL.
FOR MANY SENIORS, THIS ISN'T SIMPLY ABOUT THE COST OF RENT A SPACE.
IT'S ABOUT WHETHER WE CAN AFFORD TO REMAIN IN THE HOMES WE ALREADY OWN IN THE COMMUNITY WE CALL HOME.
GOOD EVENING, MAYOR AND CITY COUNCIL MEMBERS.
MY NAME IS MARYANNE MENDEL AND I LIVE IN FRIENDLY VILLAGE MOBILE HOME PARK HERE IN LAHABRA.
I'M HERE TO URGE YOU TO MOVE FORWARD WITH A RENT STABILIZATION ORDINANCE FOR THE CITY OF LAHABRA.
OUR MOBILE HOME COMMUNITIES PROVIDE SOMETHING INCREASINGLY DIFFICULT TO FIND HOUSING THAT SENIORS AND PEOPLE WITH LIMITED INCOMES CAN AFFORD, BUT THAT AFFORDABILITY IS DISAPPEARING AS SPACE RENTS RISE.
EVERY YEAR AT LER VILLAGE, RESIDENTS REPORT REPEATED INCREASES EXCEEDING 5% FOR SOMEONE LIVING ON SOCIAL SECURITY, THOSE INCREASES MEAN LESS MONEY FOR GROCERIES, MEDICINE, UTILITIES, AND OTHER NECESSITIES.
MONEY THAT IN ALL PROBABILITY, WOULD'VE BEEN SPENT HERE IN THE CITY OF LAHABRA.
EACH INCREASE BECOMES THE STARTING POINT FOR THE NEXT ONE.
OUR RENTS HAVE INCREASED 50% IN THE PAST 10 YEARS.
OVER TIME, EVEN RESIDENTS WHO CAREFULLY PLAN FOR RETIREMENT CAN FIND, FIND THEMSELVES UNABLE TO KEEP UP.
FRIENDLY VILLAGE HAS 330 HOMES WITH AN AVERAGE RENT OF $1,400 A MONTH.
SUN COMMUNITIES, THE OWNER OF FRIENDLY VILLAGE, COLLECTS MORE THAN FIVE AND A HALF MILLION DOLLARS A YEAR FROM THE RESIDENTS IN OUR PARK.
HOW MUCH DOES IT COST TO PROVIDE A CHUNK OF LAND, A POORLY MAINTAINED SWIMMING POOL? A COMPLETELY UNMAINTAINED NINE HOLE, PUTTING GREEN AND FIVE FULL-TIME EMPLOYEES.
THE ORDINANCE WE'RE ASKING YOU TO DEVELOP WOULD BE 100% SELF-FUNDED WITH DEDICATED PROGRAM FEES STRUCTURE TO COVER ITS ADMINISTRATION AND ENFORCEMENTS.
THAT FUNDING STRUCTURE SHOULD BE WRITTEN INTO THE ORDINANCE.
SO THE PROGRAM DOES NOT DEPEND UPON THE CITY'S GENERAL FUND OR TAKE MONEY FROM OTHER COMMUNITY SERVICES.
A FAIR ORDINANCE WOULD PROVIDE PREDICTABLE RENT INCREASES WHILE ALLOWING PARK OWNERS A FAIR RETURN AND A PROCE PROCESS TO DE TO DEMONSTRATE JUSTIFIED EXPENSES.
RESIDENTS NEED STABILITY AND OWNERS NEED CLEAR, REASONABLE RULES.
THE HARE CAN HELP MAINTAIN AFFORDABLE HOUSING BY PROTECTING THE AFFORDABILITY OF HOMES THAT ALREADY EXIST.
PRESERVING THESE COMMUNITIES HELPS RESIDENTS MAINTAIN INDEPENDENCE CONNECTED TO OUR NEIGHBORS AND CLOSE TO FAMILY AND MEDICAL CARE.
WE ARE ASKING YOU TO PLEASE DIRECT STAFF TO DEVELOP A FAIR, FULLY FUNDED RENT STABILIZATION ORDINANCE WITH MEANINGFUL INPUT FROM RESIDENTS AND PARK OWNERS.
WE ASK YOU TO ACT, UH, BEFORE MORE RESIDENTS ARE PRICED OUT OF THE HOMES THEY ALREADY OWN.
THANK YOU THAT EVENING, MAYOR AND CITY COUNCIL MEMBER MS. JOYCE AND I LIVE IN FRIENDLY VILLAGE IN LA HARBOR, AND THE COUNCIL HAS ALREADY RECOGNIZED THAT MOBILE HOME RESIDENT
AND 2023, WHEN THE CITY DID THEIR OWN INCREASES, YOU ALSO PROVIDED PROTECTIVE FROM THE PEOPLE WHO NEEDED THE HAD LOWER INCOME THERE.
THAT DECISION ACKNOWLEDGED THE BASIC REALITY AND INCREASED THAT ONE HOUSEHOLD CAN MANAGE THE OTHER, THE OTHER HOUSEHOLD MAY NOT.
WE APPRECIATE THAT RECORD HAS BEEN AND WE'RE ASKED TO APPLY THAT SAME CONCERN TO RESIDENTS THROUGHOUT LA HABER.
OUR UNDERSTANDING IS THAT LAKE LEJARA ALSO HAS A RENT STABILIZATION PROTECTION BUILT INTO ITS LEASE.
ALTHOUGH A LEASE PROVISION IS DIFFERENT FROM A CITY ORDINANCE, IT PROVIDES PREDICTABILITY AND SECURITY WE ARE SEEKING.
WHY SHOULD RESIDENTS AND FAMILY VILLAGE LACK A TERRIBLE SAFETY NET? AND WHY SHOULD I FINANCIAL SECURITY DEPEND ON WHICH PARK WE HAPPEN TO LIVE IN.
WE DESERVE TO SAY WE RESPECT CONSIDERATION AND OPPORTUNITY TO STAY IN OUR OWN HOMES.
MANY RESIDENTS ARE SENIORS LIVING ON FIXED INCOME.
AND WE OWN OUR HOMES, BUT RUN THE GROUND BENEATH THEM.
AND IT'S NOT AN EASY TO MOVE WHEN
[00:15:01]
OUR RENT KEEPS GOING UP.WHEN FATE RENT INCREASES MORE OF OUR LIMITED INCOME, WE'D TO CUT OUT OTHER THINGS.
THE CITY'S OWN DEMONSTRATE THAT CONTAINING APART AND PROTECTING VULNERABLE RESIDENTS ARE RESPONSIBILITIES THAT CAN BE ADDRESSED TOGETHER.
WE ASK YOU TO DEVELOP A SPACE RENT STABILIZATION ORDINANCE WITH PREDICTABLE INCREASES, MEANINGFUL SAFEGUARDS AGAINST PLACEMENT, AND A FAIR PROCESS FOR PARK OWNERS.
WE ALSO ASK THAT IF ADMINISTRATION BE DESIGNED TO BE 100% SELF-FUNDED THROUGH DEDICATED PROGRAM FEES, PROTECTING THE AFFORDABILITY OF IT, MOBILE HOME COMMUNITIES WOULD HELP LAHABRA SERVE TO SERVE AS HOUSING AS IT ALREADY HAS.
YOU HAVE RECOGNIZED THE NEED FOR PROTECTION ON YOUR OWN PARKS.
PLEASE EXTEND THAT SAME PRINCIPLE OF FAIR AND AS VILLAGE, OUR HOMES OF MATTER, OUR SECURITY MATTERS, AND OUR RESIDENCE RESERVE STATE.
GOOD EVENING, MAYOR AND COUNCIL MEMBERS.
AND MY NAME IS MARIE WESTFIELD.
I'M HERE TO ASK YOU, PLEASE SUPPORT A SPACE, RENT, STABILIZATION OR ORDINANCE AND TO EXPLAIN WHAT WE STAND TO LOSE.
WITHOUT VILLAGE, WE HAVE MUCH MORE THAN A COLLECTION OF HOMES.
WE HAVE A COMMUNITY CARING PEOPLE WHO LOOK AFTER ONE ANOTHER, NEIGHBORS OFTEN TRANSPORTATION TO MEDICAL, UH, APPOINTMENTS.
WE CHECK REGULARLY ON RESIDENTS WHO LIVE THERE.
WHEN SOMEONE HAS NOT BEEN SEEN OR DOES NOT ANSWER THE TELEPHONE.
SOMEONE NOTICES THE FOLLOW UP AND FOLLOWS UP.
RESIDENTS, UH, FORM FOOD PANTRIES AND HELP MAKE SURE THEIR NEIGHBORS HAVE ENOUGH TO EAT WHEN SOMEONE IS SICK, RECOVERING FROM SURGERY, A NEIGHBOR MAY BRING A MEAL, PICK UP A PRESCRIPTION, SIT WITH THEM, OR UNTIL THEY FEEL THEY DON'T NEED TO BE, UH, LEFT ALONE.
WE HAVE TWO REGISTERED NURSE ASSISTANTS IN THE COMMUNITY, INCLUDING MYSELF, WHO HAVE FILLED THIS NEED.
WE ORGANIZE RECREATION WITH SENIORS NEEDS IN MIND, GAMES, CRAFTS, SHARED MEALS AND SOCIAL GATHERINGS GIVE RESIDENTS OPPORTUNITIES TO PART TO PARTICIPATE AT THEIR OWN PACE.
THEY, THESE ACTIVITIES PROVIDE FRIENDSHIP, PURPOSE, AND A REASON TO LIVE IN, IN THE HOUSE.
AT SOMETIMES HEARING MEANS, OFTEN A RIDE.
SOMETIMES AS SIMPLE AS SAYING, I HAVEN'T SEEN YOU TODAY, ARE YOU ALRIGHT? OTHER INDEPENDENT LIVING ARRANGEMENTS MAY OFFER A PLACE TO LIVE.
WHAT WE HAVE BUILT OFFERS A PLACE TO BELONG.
AND PEOPLE WHO NOTICE WHEN WE NEED HELP, WHEN RISING SPACE RENTS BORE SOMEONE OUT, WE LOSE MORE THAN A RESIDENT.
WE MAY LOSE THE PERSON WHO, WHO DRIVES A NEIGHBOR TO THE DOCTOR, ORGANIZES AN ACTIVITY, STOCKS THE PANTRY, OR CHECKS ON SOMEONE EVERY MORNING.
A SPACE RENT STABILIZATION ORDINANCE WOULD HELP US PROTECT THESE RELATIONSHIPS BY MAKING RENT INCREASE MORE PREDICTABLE.
IT SHOULD ALLOW PARK OWNERS A FAIR RETURN WHILE GIVING RESIDENTS A REASONABLE CHANCE TO REMAIN IN THEIR HOMES.
WE ASK THAT THE PROGRAM BE DESIGNED TO BE A HUNDRED PERCENT SELF-FUNDED THROUGH DEDICATION, FEES, COVERING ITS ADMINISTRATION WITHOUT RELYING ON THE CITY'S GENERAL FUND.
PRESERVING AFFORDABLE HOUSING ALSO MEANS PRESERVING THE COMMUNITY THAT HELPS PEOPLE LIVE SAFELY AND INDEPENDENTLY WITHIN.
WE HAVE YEARS OF WORK IN OUR HISTORY HELPING THE COMMUNITY.
THE FOUR OF US THIS EVENING REPRESENTING HERE ARE ALL WIDOWS TRYING TO PROVIDE AND MAINTAIN OUR COMMUNITY FOR ALL OF US THERE.
THANK GOD BLESS, MAYOR CITY, UH, AND MEMBER CITY COUNCIL.
THANK YOU FOR THE OPPORTUNITY TO SPEAK.
UM, THERE ARE MORE THAN JUST FOUR OF US HERE TONIGHT.
MOST OF THE PEOPLE IN THIS ROOM TONIGHT ARE FROM FE VILLAGE.
UM, MY NAME IS RANDY MCDONALD.
UH, I'M FROM, UH, VILLAGE, UH, LA AND, UH, I'M WITH THE COMMITTEE, UH, RECENTLY FORMED COMMITTEE CALLED, UH, SENIORS WHO NEED HELP.
AND, UM, GETTING, UH, GETTING BACK TO THE SUBJECT OF RENT STABILIZATION, UH, FOR SENIORS.
UH, WITH SOME RESEARCH, WE HAVE FOUND THAT, UH, WHAT WHAT WE THINK IS THE REASON THAT THE CITY COUNCIL HAS NOT COME THROUGH WITH THE, UH, WITH, WITH ACTIONS TO, TO PUT FORTH AT LEAST ON THE AGENDA, A RENT CONTROL FOR RENT CIVILIZATION INITIATIVE FOR ASSEMBLY VILLAGE.
[00:20:01]
HAVE BROUGHT IT UP, BROUGHT IT TO YOUR ATTENTION BEFORE.I'M EXCITED TO SEE THE RENEWED, UH, ENTHUSIASM, UH, TO COME UP AND GET ON THE MICROPHONE.
BUT, UH, WE HAVE SEEN RESEARCH LATELY THAT, UM, THE CITY OWNED MOBILE HOME PARKS, YOU HELD RENTS BACK AND NOW ARE ISSUING THE FIVE YEAR RENT ENTRY TO BRING THEM BACK UP TO WHERE THEY SHOULD HAVE BEEN A LONG TIME AGO.
WE ARE PAYING THE PRICE OF THAT BECAUSE WE CAN SEE THAT THERE'S A CONFLICT OF INTEREST.
HOW CAN YOU RAISE THE RENT FOR YOUR OWN CITY, MOBILE HOME PARK, AND THEN GIVE US RENT STABILIZATION? SO, UH, YOU ARE CONFLICTED BY THAT.
AND, UH, SO WHAT WE NEED YOU TO DO IS TAKE INTO, CONSIDER, INTO CONSIDERATION THAT WE ARE SENIORS ON FIXED INCOME.
WE'RE NOT LIKE EVERYBODY ELSE, AND WE NEED THIS SPECIAL CONSIDERATION.
COUNCIL ACTION REMAINS THE QUEEN'S EASIEST AND QUIETEST SOLUTION FOR OUR CAUSE.
BUT IF, IF THIS, UH, IF THE COUNCIL REMAINS RELUCTANT TO WORK WITH US, UM, YOU KNOW, WE WANNA KNOW.
WE WANNA KNOW BECAUSE THERE ARE, YOU KNOW, OTHER, OTHER WAYS OF, SO WE CAN TAKE OTHER AVENUES TO, YOU KNOW, TO TRY TO GET ATTENTION TO OUR CARS.
SO WE'VE ALREADY APPLIED, UH, FOR, UM, ORDINANCE, I MEAN, UM, UH, UH, PETITION.
UM, WELL ANYWAY, UM, BUT THANK YOU FOR THE TIME, YOUR TIME AND, UH, PLEASE LISTEN TO WHAT SAID AND WHAT I HAVE SAID.
AND, UH, WE'LL BE BACK NEXT WEEK.
I LIVE IN VILLAGE SINCE 1999, UM, THAT 28 YEARS I BELIEVE.
AND I'VE BEEN A REGISTERED RETIRED NURSE WITH YOUR HOSPITAL.
I THOUGHT I SAVED ENOUGH, BUT IT'S NOT GONNA BE ENOUGH GOING UP AND UP AND UP.
I'VE RECALCULATED IT'S NOT GONNA WORK.
I HAVE FAMILY TO MOVE IN WITH.
LIKE MY FRIENDS, UM, MY DEAR FRIENDS THAT MOVED AWAY.
I WAS, BECAUSE THE RENT IS TOO HIGH FOR THEM.
THEY'VE MADE TWO, BUT NOT ENOUGH.
TWO HAVE GONE TO WASHINGTON AND ONE IS HAS MOVED TO HER HOME, ORIGINAL HOME IN THE PHILIPPINES.
BUT, UM, I'M REALLY, REALLY FRUSTRATED THAT I'M LOSING MY FRIENDS.
I THOUGHT I'D KNOWN THEM ALL MY LIFE, YOU KNOW, SO ONE OF US LIVED DONNIE, BUT NOT SO ANYMORE.
ONE JUST LEFT COUPLE WEEKS AGO.
I THINK THEY'RE BRAND NEW ONE IN.
I THOUGHT I KNOW HER ALL MY LIFE, BUT NOW I DUNNO WHERE SHE'LL BE.

UH, I CAME FROM ANOTHER MOBILE HOME PARK OUT IN MENEFEE, AND I CAN TELL YOU THAT IT WAS LIKE DAY AND NIGHT WHEN I GOT HERE.
WE DIDN'T HAVE THESE PROBLEMS IN MENEFEE.
WE WENT TO THE CITY COUNCIL THERE AND THE FIRST VISIT WE WERE GIVEN, UH, THE PROTECTION THAT WE NEEDED AGAINST, UH, WRITTEN BREACHES OF OUR RENT.

I ONLY HAVE A DAUGHTER LEFT NOW.
UM, I DON'T WANT TO BECOME A PROBLEM TO HER.
AND, UH, IT'S A TERRIBLE FEELING.
UH, IN ADDITION TO ALL OF THAT, OUR PARK MANAGER, SHE TAKES JOY IN HARASSING PEOPLE.
SHE PRACTICES ELECTIVE ENFORCEMENT, UH, WHICH IS ALSO VERY CONCERNING FOR MANY OF THE RESIDENTS.
THERE'S A LOT OF THINGS GOING ON, AND IF YOU HAVE READ THE PROPOSAL THAT WAS HANDED TO YOU THAT WE'RE ASKING YOU TO ADOPT, YOU KNOW THAT IT'S NOT JUST RENT CONTROL THAT WE'RE ASKING FOR.
WE'RE ASKING FOR PROTECTION FROM ILLEGAL REQUIREMENTS, UNREASONABLE DEMANDS THAT ARE MADE BY MANAGEMENT PLACE WHERE WE RETURN TO A PAINFUL EXISTENCE WITH RESPECT AND THE ABILITY TO LOOK FORWARD AND SAY, WELL, I'M GONNA MAKE IT RIGHT NOW.
SHE GAVE US THE NAME OF MIRANDA, UH, TO DO SOME MORE FOLLOW THROUGH WITH HER.
I HAVE CALLED HER AND I'M NOT GETTING AN ANSWER.
UH, SHE'S NOT RETURNING MY, UH, EMAIL MESSAGES.

SO WE TRY TO TAKE THE, UH, EDUCATIONAL APPROACH FOR THEM TO UNDERSTAND WHY THERE'S A VIOLATION AND WHAT COULD HAPPEN.
AND THEN WE, WE ISSUE NOTICE OF A VIOLATION, WHICH IS GONNA GIVE THEM TIME.
WE TRY TO WORK WITH WITH THEM AS MUCH AS WE CAN.
LIKE I SAID, WE, WE TAKE THE, UH, EDUCATIONAL APPROACH.
AND IN THIS PARTICULAR CASE, WE HAD ISSUED 10 NOTICES WORKING ON SERVICE CITATIONS AND, YOU KNOW, UM, MEETING TO, TO MEET WITH STAFF, PUBLIC HEARING.
AND UNFORTUNATELY, THE WERE NOT CORRECTED.
AND, AND AT THE SAME TIME, WE DO RECEIVE COMPLAINTS FROM RESIDENTS DUE TO THE CONDITIONS THAT, YOU KNOW, ARE ACTUALLY A PUBLIC INCIDENT.
WHAT DO YOU THINK IS, OR WHAT RESPONSE DO YOU NORMALLY GET FROM THE ISSUE THE APPEARANCE IS ACTING ON? WHAT'S THE RESPONSE, YOU KNOW, AS YOU'RE TRYING TO WORK? RIGHT.
SO, SO IT, IT, IT REALLY DEPENDS.
IN THIS PARTICULAR CASE, UH, WE DID GET, UM, PLENTY OF PHONE CALLS.
I THINK SOMEBODY CONTACTED ADMINISTRATION ALSO THROUGH A LETTER, UM, BECAUSE OF THE CONDITIONS OF THIS PARTICULAR PROPERTY.
BUT IN THIS ONE IN PARTICULAR, WE DID GET MORE, UH, ADDITIONAL COMPLAINTS.
OTHER, AND AGAIN, THEY'RE IN THE SUN.
THEY EVEN LOOKED UP, UH, PREVIOUS PHONE NUMBERS THAT WERE FOUND FROM PREVIOUS CASES, AND UNFORTUNATELY I WAS NOT ABLE TO LOCATE AT ANYBODY ELSE OTHER THAN THE, UH, THE OWNER'S.
YOU, YOU, YOUR PROACTIVE APPROACH TRYING TO REACH OUT THIS PERSON, NO PROBLEM'S.
ALL I, MY ONLY QUESTION IS DO WE EVEN KNOW WHETHER BUSINESS OTHER THAN NO.
WE, WE HAD, OUR UNDERSTANDING WAS THAT SHE LIVED AT THE PROPERTY, BUT WE'VE NEVER HEARD FROM HER, UH, FOR WHAT WE KNOW.
UM, SHE MIGHT BE UP IN HER NINETIES, BUT WE JUST HAVE NOT CONFIRMED SHE LIVES THERE.
SO WE DO HAVE, UH, THE LA HABRA POLICE DEPARTMENT TO, UH, ATTEMPT TO MAKE CONTACT.
I DON'T BELIEVE THAT WAS THE CASE WITH, WITH THIS ONE.
UH, WE, WHEN WE WENT INSIDE THE PROPERTY AND WE, UH, UM, REPLACED THE WINDOW, THE, THE PROPERTY WAS COMPLETELY, UH, THERE WAS NOBODY IN THERE.
UM, WHEN THE VERY FIRST TIME THAT WE WENT OUT TO DO THE, THE ABATEMENT, THE CLEANING OF THE OVER VEGETATION FOR THE TRASH IN THE AREA, THE PROPERTY OWNER, UH, SHE WAS PRESENT.
SO FACTS IN UNDERSTANDING WHEN YOU WENT TO BRIEFLY EXPLAIN THE LEGALITIES OF HOW YOU WERE ABLE TO LEGALLY GET INTO THE PROPERTY.
SO WHEN, WHEN A CODE ENFORCEMENT CASE IS REFERRED TO THE CHIEF PROSECUTOR, WE, AND WE'RE ABOUT TO DO AN ABATEMENT, EVEN IF IT'S A INSPECTION WHERE WE'RE NOT GETTING ACCESS TO THE INTERIOR OF A PROPERTY, UH, WE GET A, A, A WARRANT THAT IS ISSUED BY A, BY A JUDGE.
UM, IN THIS CASE, THE ABATEMENT ALLOWS STAFF TO GO, UH, INSIDE THE PROPERTY AND, AND AB AB OBEY THE VIOL.
IN, IN THIS PARTICULAR CASE, WAS THE REPLACEMENT OF THE, ARE THERE ANY OTHER RESOURCE, MAYBE VOLUNTEER ORGANIZATION THAT MAY WORK WITH HER HELP COOPER? ABSOLUTELY.
SO WE, WE'VE HAD CASES WHERE, UH, WE, WE HAVE REFERRED TO A LOVE HA THAT EVENT THAT IS HELD BY THE CITY.
WHEN THERE IS A PROPERTY OWNER THAT IS A NEED AND IS UNABLE TO, TO, TO OBEY THE VIOLATIONS, WE TYPICALLY DO REFER THOSE CASES TO, TO, WHICH IS AN EVENT THAT HAS HELP US WITH CERTAIN CASES WHERE THE OWNER WAS NOT ABLE TO THE VIOLATION.
[00:45:23]
THAT WILL OPEN MATTER UP TO A PUBLIC HEARING.ASK ALL THOSE WHO WISH TO SPEAK, PLEASE ANSWER TESTIMONY.
WISH TO SPEAK ON, DO WE HAVE ANY REMOTE PUBLIC HEARING, CALL FOR COUNSEL, QUESTION, DISCUSSIONS AND DILIGENCE.
TWO YEARS, 10 NOTICE 14 CITATIONS, MULTIPLE CONFERENCES AND LITTLE TO ATE ON HIGHLIGHT.
VERY REACTIVE, BUT ALSO COURT.
I'M ASKED QUESTIONS AND IT SOUNDS LIKE WE'VE DONE, UH, WE'VE DONE POSSIBLE TO TRY TO CLEAN HIGHLIGHT.
SO I, I BELIEVE AT THAT, FOLLOW THE LAW.
SO WITH THAT BEING, I'LL, UH, TAKE A MOTION.
REAL QUICK, UH, YEAH, WE, WE HAVE, WE HAVE PUBLIC COMMENT.
RESPECTFULLY, WE'RE ABOUT TO BE DELIBERATED ON THE MATTER AND WE'RE ABOUT TO, UH, SUCCESSFULLY TIME FOR THAT.
