A l' i Fellow Councilmen; CITY OF ROIINEIZT PARK 8750 COMMERCE BOULEVARD ROHNERT PARK, SONOMA COUNTY, CALIFORNIA 94928 TELEPHONE 7950411 ti coue rjoun May 6, 19£31 It has come to my attention that there are some questions regarding my personal involvement with the conversion of Rancho Feliz mobile home park from a single parcel to individual spaces available for purchase by present and future residents of the park.` I' originally tried to purchase both Rancho Feliz and Rancho Verde for conversion (at the request of several residents of each park). acing unable to do so, I was able to convince the new owner of Rancho Feliz to consider the possibility of conversion. Mr. Goldstein liked my ideas and decided to employ ire as a consultant, since he resides in Southern California and this is something that has never been done before. I informed him of the conflict of interest laws and he was aware that my con- sultant status would mean that I could not vote on the project. I had already discussed conversion of the park for some months with Mr. Callinan and Mr. Skanchy, who supported the project if the residents wished the conversion. I also contacted the City Attorney regarding conflict of interest and asked if all that was required of me to avoid problems was to refrain from voting on the matter. In January and February of 1981, Mr. Goldstein (owner) conducted a survey of the residents to determine if interest in conversion existed, and I met twice with residents of the park to explain details of the suggested conversion and made clear my financial involvement as consultant. On the basis of -in- terest expressed, Mr. Goldstein has proceeded with plans for the conversion. It was brought to my attention by Chris Gouhig of the Sonoma County Housing Authority that residents of an existing mobile hone park scheduled for conversion were eligible for $1,000,000 in state funds earmarked for just such a conversion program, but that the application for eligibility had to be made through a public agency (in this case, the City of Rohnert Park since that is the location of the park) with the cooperation of the owner. She had me call the state agency and the application papers were sent to me. I gave this ap- plication to Mr. Callinan for processing on behalf of the eligible residents of Rancho Feliz. The matter came before the Council while I was out of town and apparently the extent of my involvement was unknown to other Councilmen until a newspaper article appeared three weeks ago. I was unaware of this breach of political etiquette until it was brought to my attention last Thurs- day by Mr. Callinan. e f Fellow Councilmen May 6, 1981 Page 2 Consequently, I am writing this letter to the Council regarding my financial involvement and the current status of the city's application for state funds on the behalf of the eligible residents of Rancho Feliz. Mr. Skanchy tells me that awards of the funds will be made within (3) three weeks and we shall know at that time whether or not the funds will be made available to these Rohnert Park residents. I shall be more than happy to answer any further questions you may have regarding this matter. Please contact me at 795 -3750 at your earliest con - venience. � t Mary "1.. �tc�arf� :� Councilman MLS:Ir cc: RP City Council ,-Mr. Peter Callinan, City Manager Mr. Paul Skanchy, Planning Director Mr. John Flitner, City Attorney Lindajoy Fenley, "Rohnert Park /Cotati Times" Mary Chamberlain, "Rohnert Park /Cotati Clarion"
