Dear Mayor Hopkins:

At our Mobile Home Rent Appeals Board meeting of March 24, 1988, the Board
reviewed the costs through March, 1988 incurred by the Rent Appeals Board. It
was estimated that for the three month period approximately $50,000 had been
expended. It was also noted that $30,000 of the $50,000 was for consultants fees
in drafting the rules and regulations to assist in administering Ordinance No.
494.
Upon extensive discussion and analyzing the costs, the Board hereby requests the
City Council to allocate the $50,000 authorized as seed money as an unencumbered
grant to pay for all the start up costs associated with the initial year of
operation of the Rent Appeals Board. In addition, the Board would also like to
request an additional $10,000 as an unencumbred grant in order to pay for any
additional start up costs that the Board may incur over the next few months of
its operation.
For your information, at the same meeting the Rent Appeals Board did authorize a
registration fee of $42.00 per mobile home space. This $42.00 will be collected
and will be applied against costs incurred from January 16, 1988 through December
31, 1988. The total estimated amount of collection will be approximately
$55,000. Because the registration fees are collected on a calendar year basis,
any surplus or deficit on account at December 31, 1988 will be considered before
the calendar year 1989 registration fees are established.
Your consideration in approving the $60,000 as an unencumbered grant is sincerely
appreciated.
Very truly yours,
