How shoddy it turned out in the west half, from the clubhouse back. Bits of asphalt and tarry pea grnvol are still lying about the streets and gutters, and it's still, being tracked into our homes. I've swept up buckets of it from the gutter by my house. Some have said, and 1 agree, that good pavinr patches like those in Rancho Verde would have been far better. Thu thin streaked, partial coverage of pavina on Urge stretches of' our streets will only continuo; to spall and rNvel into loose, rocks and tar. For years Rancho Feliz was a.

A late charge of $5.00 will be, collected in addition to the above—listed rent if the rent is not paid prior to the sixth day of the month. This increase is necessary in order for the Park owner to stay even with the current rate of inflation. Some of the pertinent factors con- sidered prior to arriving at the rent increase are set forth in subsequent paragraphs. 2) Gas and Electric charges will continue to be individually metered and paid in addition to the above rent. 3) All other rental charges (extra TV, extra garbage, boat and recreational vehicles, etc.) shall remain the same. 4) For any resident with an existing lease .and /or agreement: which does not expire until after November 1, 1980, the rent. increase will go into effect at the expiration of the lease and/or agreement period, unless the terms of the lease and/or agreement provide otherwise. Two of the Government created publications that we follow closely as indicators ofincreases in everyone's cost of living are the June adjustment in Social_ Security, which was 14.3% this past year, and the Consumer Price Index, which increased 16.7% during r-Int--, past 12 months. Please remember that effective November 1. 1979, the annual rent increase was only between 6% and 7% even rhnugh the cost of living was in the middle of its upward turn into the double digits. At that time we stared the Government's figures were unexplainable and maybe questionable, but we followed them because they have historically been our guide. Apparently, the information we currently receive from the news media takes some Lime before it becomes an actual part of these nacistical reports. Hopefully, the positive reports of the cost of living becoming more reasonable will be reflected in next year's indexes, DATED: August 15, 1,980 RANCHO FELIZ R.C.Roberts & Co,, Managemenn Company
