TO: THE CITY COUNCIL COUNCIL MEETING DATE: JUNE 20, 1990
FROM: M CITY MANAGER'S OFFICE
SUBJECT: APPLICATION FOR MOBILEHOME PARK ASSISTANCE PROGRAM LOAN
INDICATED ACTION: Determine if the City of Lodi wishes to serve as the Local
Public Entity in assisting the occupants of Casa de Lodi Mobilehome Park in
purchasing Homer Beldt's interest in the facility.
BACKGROUND INFORMATION: Homer Beldt presently holds a ground lease on Casa de
Lodi and has listed it for sale. The occupants of the park (senior citizens) are
concerned that a sale will cause an increase in rents and force many of them to
move.
The State of California through the Department of Housing and Community
Development administers the Mobilehome Park Assistance Program which is designed
to help park occupants purchase the park.
The Assistance Program requires that a local public entity, if the loan is
approved by the State, assumes the responsibilities specified in Section 8018(c)
of the Mobilehome Park Assistance Program regulations and certifies the following:
(1) that the project proposed in this application was reviewed and determined to
be, or will be upon completion, consistent with local zoning and land use
policies if approved by the local legislative body;
(2) that the project proposed in this application complements the local housing
programs to preserve and increase the supply of low -and moderate -income
housing; and that the statements in Attachment III -C.9. are accurate;
(3) that a survey of the households residing in the mobilehome park has been
conducted and no less than two-thirds of all the residents support the
project as proposed in this application; 1
(4) that the statements concerning the potential displacement of residents and of
rents being charged in comparable mobilehome parks in the vicinity as stated
in Section IV -B of this application are accurate, feasible and approved or
will be approved by the local public entity; and
(5) that the local public entity has committed to provide the financial and other
assistance specified in this application.
Although the act indicates that the local public entity can make grants or loans
through Community Development Block Grant or redevelopment funds, the only
assistance being requested at present is staff aid in application preparation and
discussion with State officials.
It should be noted, that if financial assistance were requested, the only funds
Lodi has are Community Pevelopment Block Grant monies. These funds have already
been committed for Fiscal Year 1390-51.
