34. Rent Control Reauest.
Councilman Alongi indicated that he has mentioned this item
previously and clarified that he would also like to protect
the owners and buyers of mobile home parks. He stressed the
need to assure that rents are reasonable.
Rosela Kueh1, 300 Ellis, stressed that the residents of
Briarwood Mobile Home park are mostly elderly residents on
fixed incomes, so any rent increase is detrimental. She
suggested that Council hold a Study Session to review rents in
their park.
Marge Rieder, read the letter from Briarwood Mobile Home park
presented with the agenda item as follows:
Followinq is a proposal that the Lake Elsinore City
Council adopt some measure of rent review for Mobile Home
Parks in the City of Lake Elsinore.
The new owner of Briarwood is raising rents
indiscriminately and in some cases exorbitantly. We feel
a yearly review of rents by the City would certainly
alleviate present suffering and forestall future
hardships.
After Mr. Corda acquired Briarwood his park manager
vehemently insisted we sign'a new, long term lease. Many
of us balked at signing because we feel by signing we
illegally forfeit all our civil rights.
Some park residents received notices signed by Corda
assuring that there would be no discrimination against
those who choose to remain on a month-to-month basis.
Document C is a computation of a few of the tenants rent
raise notices, received this month. Obviously the non-
signers are being vigorously punished. Last year some of
these people were raised $50.0o per month.
When Mr. Corda first took possession of Briarwood he
announced at a meeting of the residents that he planned
to rapidly raise rent levels in Briarwood up to the level
of other parks in town. This is neither reasonable or
realistic as Briarwood is located in the most crime-
infested section of the city and has neither a swimming
PAGE NINE - CITY COUNCIL MINIITES - DECEMBER 8~ 1992
pool, jazzuzi pool, recreation hall or any amenities
offered by other mobile home parks.
The only thing available to_us is a laundry room and one
of Corda's first moves was to raise the price of the
washers and driers so high that some cannot afford even
to keep clean.
Many of the park residents are elderly, infirm people who
have nothing but social security income. ,The rent raises
inflicted last year and this, in some cases $90.00 per
month will make the difference to a lot of these people
whether or not they can eat normally or will be reduced
to subsisting on canned cat food.
In addition to decimating our pocket books Corda is
rendering our coaches virtually unsalable as no one wants
to buy into a park with such an unstable rent structure.
We would appreciate it if any measures you might decide
to take were made retroactive.
The city attorney's packet contains guidelines for
drafting rent control laws and copies of rent control
ordinances from the cities of Escondito, Gilroy,
Pacifica, Salinas, San Marcos and Laquna Beach.
Respectfully,
Florence Huffman,
Pres., G.S.M.O.L.
Jim Erickson,
V.Pres., G.S.M.O.L.
Ms. Rieder commented that this is one of the few requests
before the City Council that does not require any money to
provide the assistance.
Lila Cardoza, echoed Ms. Rieder's statements in Spanish.
Councilman Alongi commented that mobile home park living is a
different type of lifestyle which affords its residents a
level of security. He further commented that this is a form
of affordable housing, however, he would not want to tie the
hands of the park owners. He suggested that Council take
action to prohibit exorbitant rent increa'ses; and expressed
the difficulty in moving a coach from one park to another.
Mayor Washburn indicated that he and former Councilman Starkey
had addressed this matter with the residents of Briarwood and
at that time legislation was pending and they were waiting for
the outcome.
City Attorney Harper indicated that there are State statutes
relating to how properties are rented, but regarding how much
may be charged. He further indicated that there are a broad
spectrum of option in dealing with rent control and its
monitoring and suggested a study session to consider the many
considerations.
Mayor Pro Tem Dominquez addressed the other parks in the City
and inquired how they would be impacted by rent control. He
also questioned the ordinances in other cities as well as
state law.
PAGE TEN - CITY COUNCIL MINIITES - DECEMBER 8~ 1992
Councilman Winkler commented on previous discussions in this
regard and"clarified his opinion that mobile homes parks and
apartments vary in this area. He stressed the capital
investment in a mobile home and the protection that should be
provided. He suggested that both sides of this issue be
advised of the upcoming Study Session. He expressed interest
in knowing how programs in other cities have worked and the
staff costs and problems in monitoring and enforcing such a
program.
MOVED BY CHERVENY, SECONDED BY WINKLER TO SCHEDULE THIS ITEM FOR A
STUDY SESSION ON JANUARY 19TH AT 3 P.M. TO CONSIDER THE
ALTERNATIVES.
Councilman Alongi suggested that additional items be scheduled
for this date as there are a list of pending topics. City
Attorney Harper indicated that with the inclusion of
associations from both sides this may be a lengthy topic and
may even need additional sessions to fully consider it.
THE FOREGOING MOTION CARRIED BY UNANIMOUS VOTE.
35. Resolution Initiatina a Soecial Municipal Election.
City Clerk Kasad summarized this item explaining that the
necessary signatures had been collected and verified for the
calling of a Special Election to determine whether Mayor Gary
Washburn should be recalled. She further explained that funds
had not been allocated in this year's budget for an election
and thus would require the allocation of $26,043 for this
election. It was recommended that the Council adopt the
resolution presented, allocate the necessary funds and choose
an election date.

Joy Porthunder commented that her wish would be for no recall.
She supported Mayor Washburn completely and suggested that the
City Council work out their differences and work together.
Tom Hundshamer, President, Chamber of Commerce, commented on
the negative impacts of this item and while he did not mean to
' endorse a candidate he commented on the positive contributions
of Mayor Washburn. He stressed the new level of cooperation
between the Chamber and the City due to Mr. Washburn~s
efforts. He furthi~xs stressed that Mayor Washburn been
business-likebjective, professional, willing to listen,
accessible, supportive of the Chamer and flexible indicating
that these were good qualifications for a Councilmember. He
also stressed his deep concern for the community and his
feeling that a successful recall would be a loss to the
community.

$17,000 from the City and $17,000 form the Redevelopment
Agency.
MOVED BY DOMINGUEZ, SECONDED BY ALONGI AND CARRIED BY UNANIMOUS
VOTE TO APPROVE THE 1993 LEMA BUDGET AND THE ALLOCATION OF THE
MEMBER AGENCY CONTRIBUTION OF $17,000.
39. Resolution for Park Usaae and Fee Strncture.
City Manager Molendyk gave an overview of park usage and
explained that with the growth the demand for parks grows. He
further explained that this resolution addresses priority
usage of City owned facilities for its residents. Mr.
Molendyk stated that Public Services Director Watenpaugh was
available to answer any further questions from Council.
MOVED BY DOMINGUEZ, SECONDED BY WINKLER AND TO ADOPT RESOLUTION NO.
92-89 AND DIRECT STAFF TO PREPARE A REPORT FOR THE DECEMBER 22,
1992 CITY COUNCIL MEETING ESTABLISHING PRIORITY USAGE POLICIES AS
WELL AS RESIDENT/NON-RESIDENT FEES ON A PER PROGRAM BASIS.
Councilman Winkler explained that in the resolution it states
"the City wishes to assist non-city residents to provide
recreation for all residents in the surrounding communities,
but not to the detriment of City residents who pay for City
fields/parks and their maintenance, and whd are providing
plans for future parks.'~ He further explained that even with
the resolution it does not ban non-residents from using the
City facilities, it just states that the City residents come
first. Mr. Winkler pointed out that with the new baseball
complex that is being built it should help with the Little
League, but the City residents are payinq for the facilities
and should get the priority treatment. He further stressed
the point that this is not to exclude the people who do not
live in the City, but rather to give priority to City
residents.
Kevin Jeffries commented that he feels this is discrimination
against the non-residents of the City. He further pointed out
that the County residents contribute to the local sales tax
which helps to support this City and there are no City leagues
at this time, therefore this resolution could promote
discrimination.
Councilwoman Cherveny explained her concern in regard to
discrimination against children with this resolution. She
further pointed out the Joint Powers Agreements with the
schools and pointed out some of the potential problems which
could occur.
PAGE EIGHTEEN - CITY COUNCIL MINOTES - DECEMBER 8~ 1992
Councilman Winkler explained that he has been in touch with
the officials of the Little Leagues and it will be asked that
if this resolution passes that the boundaries be redone to
make all of the City within one or two boundaries. He further
explained that the residents of the City should be given
preference, not to exclude others, but to give the City
children first chance because as the area grows there will not
be enough parks to facilitate all the people. Mr. Winkler
explained that if kids were not going to be able to play,
which kids would it be, that is the issue he is addressinq.
He further stated that it is time for the County residents to
let their needs be known to Ortega Trails because the
developers can only provide for the residents within their
area and should not be expected to be concerned with residents
outside the City Limits. Mr. Winkler stated that the
residents that live outside of the City will not always be
able to be accommodated by the facilities within the City.
Councilman Alongi explained that he knows that Mr. Wi.nkler's
intentions are to not deny any child from using the
facilities. He further explained that there are people who
live in the County and also own property in the City and pay
their fair share of the Lighting and Landscaping District fees
and he feels that the leagues should work that out themselves
and split their districts as they feel they should be because
the children go to the same schools and some live in the
County and some in the City. Mr. Alongi stated that he is not
a sports person, but he does recognize the need for those
activities for the children. He further stated that he
does not want to see the City isolate themselves and
encouraged the City to share its facilities.
Councilman Dominguez explained that it does not matter what
organization is involved, the Council should address the
issues to the best interest of the City.
Mayor Washburn asked Community Services Director Watenpaugh
how many children from City and County areas the City
currently serves. Mr. Watenpaugh stated that in Girls
Softball there were 65% non-residents and in Little League it
is about 40% to 45% non-residents. He further explained that
in the other activities he does not have exact numbers. Mr.
Watenpaugh explained that the resolution does not address the
adult teams, however, when they are using the fields it takes
fields away from the youth activities.
Councilwoman Cherveny asked Community Services Director
Watenpaugh how the fields were assiqned to the different
groups. Mr. Watenpauqh explained that once a month there is
a user group meeting and at that time user groups present the
estimated number of teams they will have and the number of
£ields they will need, then the Department proceeds with
scheduling and assignment of fields. Mrs. Cherveny asked at
whos discretion the fields aare assigned. Mr. Watenpaugh
explained that which leagues play where and when is up to the
leagues, the facilities available are from the City. If there
are not enough then the leagues need to make alternate
arrangements by getting fields from another source or
eliminate teams. ,
City Manager Molendyk explained that in a High growth
community eventually the needs will exceed the resources and
PAGE NINETEEN - CITY COUNCIL MINUTES - DECEMBER 8~ 1992
the resolut,ion presented is in an attempt to address that
situation. He further explained that it is not just for
games, but also for practice. Mr. Molendyk explained that he
viewed this resolution as a vehicle to put people on notice
and work closer together because of the growth that is
occurring and the limited facilities.
Councilman Winkler explained that right now there are two
girls softball leagues and six adult softball leagues fighting
for the use of the fields and there are not enough fields
available and it is getting harder every year to accommodate
everyone. He further explained that it is time for the other
agencies to take responsibility for their resident's needs.
Mr. Winkler stated that if the other agencies do not address
their own problems, then the City residents should not be made
to pay for that.
Community Services Director Watenpauqh explained that one of
the problems caused by limited facilities is when one of the
users comes to the City and'their rules have changed from two
games a week to three games a week as a State policy; this
presents a major scheduling problem and there are any number
of issues that come up and it makes it difficult to schedule
all the necessary games when there are a limited number of
facilities.
Councilman Alongi explained that he is not concerned with the
requirements of the different organizations, his concern is
that the children do not get a chance to play. He further
stated that if the City cannot accommodate all the teams that
want to play, the County Adults should take care of themselves
and should pay for the use of the facilities, but a line
should be drawn and the children should not be involved in
paying for the use of the parks.
Councilwoman Cherveny stated that if there was preference
shown it should be to the youth teams over adult teams, even
if the City does not charge fees the leagues do and it is an
expense.
City Manager Molendyk explained that the leagues charters
state that if a child signs up the child plays, and if there
are 20 teams this year and 10 fields, we can just barely
maintain, but if next year there are 30 teams then the City
could not accommodate. He further explained that this is not
a unique problem for any growing area and the adult players
are taxpayers and this situation will discriminate against
them. Mr. Molendyk explained the whole idea is to work with
surrounding agencies to address these limitations.
Councilman Winkler explained that he didn~t mind adding a
sentence to the resolution to confirm a policy by Council to
favor youth organizations. He further explained that someone
has to loose out and he questioned if it should be the City
youth or the County youth. Mr. Winkler explained that it is
how many fields are available for use verses the number of
people who request the use of them and who should. get the
preference.
Councilman Alongi suggested that a time limit for practice
should be enforced and he emphasized that the children have
PAGE TWENTY - CITY COUNCIL MINUTES - DECEMBER 8~ 1992
priority for the use of the fields. He further stated that it
is of utmost importance that the children have the opportunity
to play and that the children themselves don't care if they
are located in the County or the City since they all go to
school together.
Councilman Winkler explained that there are a variety of ways
to balance the City within the leagues. He further stated
that if none of the solutions worked then the City would have
to form its own youth organization like Valley Wide does. Mr.
Winkler questioned the loyalty that Council owes the City
residents and that the league should change district
boundaries to accommodate the City residents.
Councilman Alongi stated that then there would discrimination.
Councilman Winkler explained that if we didn't have enouqh
fields to accommodate everyone, it would be in favor of the
City residents. He further explained that even if Little
League changed the boundaries it would be several years before
it would be totally City residents, as the league allows non-
City residents to continue to play on a team if they have
already been on it. This program would start with City
residents at the T-Ball level and work up, it is not a mandate
to have City residents only, but rather to give them priority
should facilities be overextended. Mr. Winkler explained that
scheduling fields was a problem last year, this year is going
to be worse and by 1994, if nothing is done and the adults
don't play, it will become a very bad situation; excluding
adults will not answer the problems.
Community Services Director Watenpaugh explained that this is
the first year that City staff will not be able to meet all
the expectations because of the growth and there is currently
duplication on every available field almost every day of the
week.
THE MOTION WAS AMENDED TO INCLUDE "CITY COUNCIL WILL CONTINUE TO
GIVE PRIORITY TO YOUTH ORGANIZATIONS", WITH CONCURRENCE OF THE
SECOND.
Councilman Alongi explained that in the third paragraph of the
resolution it states only City residents and he felt that it
should be struck. He further explained that he felt that the
City should assist all youth players.
Kevin Jeffries again questioned Council's policy in regard to
the County residents who also own property in the City and pay
the Lighting and Landscaping fees and stated that they should
not be excluded as they help support the parks.
Councilman Winkler explained that if someone can provide proof
that they are sharing in the cost of maintaining the fields
and lighting costs then there is no problem. He further
explained that the County residents should address their
concerns and needs to Ortega Trails Recreation and Park
District who is responsible for developing and providing and
maintaining recreational facilities, such as ball fields for
surrounding County residents.
Councilwoman Cherveny explained that she was opposed to this
resolution because she felt that the City was responsible for
PAGE TWENTY-ONE - CITY COIINCIL MINUTES - DECEMBER 8~ 1992
extending the hand of friendship and she feels that the
children will have to pay for the adults inability to provide.
Councilman Alongi explained the he would not oppose the
_ resolution, and will wait to see what happens when the first
team is turned down because of County residents.
Mayor Washburn explained that it is a clear cut situation and
he does not want to see the youth pitted against the City
Council. He further explained that the City Council
represents the City residents and not the County residents and
fairness to the City residents is the issue. Mr. Washburn
explained that the County residents are not being excluded
from the use of the facilities which their taxes are paying
for. He further explained that Ortega Trails must take the
responsibility and address this issue for their areas.
