RESOLUTION NO. 2019-42
RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF UKIAH AMENDING EXHIBIT A TO
RESOLUTION 2018-22 ADOPTING RENT STABILIZATION FEES FOR ARBITRATION AND
ADMINISTRATIVE COSTS TO CITY OF UKIAH MOBILEHOME PARKS
WHEREAS:
1. Ukiah City Code ("UCC") Section 2715, provides that "all or any portion of the costs to
administer this chapter [Division 2, Chapter 8 of the UCC ("Chapter 8")] may be collected
by the imposition of an annual rent stabilization administration fee established by
resolution of the City Council"; and
2. Costs to administer the program have been assessed and are shown in Exhibit A; and
3. With the elimination of redevelopment agencies by the State of California, all of the cost
to administer Chapter 8 is borne by the City's General Fund; and
4. Under UCC Section 2708.C, the cost of arbitrations must be paid from the rent stabilization
administration fee. Exhibit A states a reasonable estimate for the annual cost to administer
Chapter 8, including potential arbitrations; and
5. There are 382 mobilehome park spaces subject to rent control in the City of Ukiah, with
the final annual per space cost being determined each year based on occupied non -long-
term leased spaces; and
6. Under UCC Section 2715, the owner who pays these fees may pass through to the tenant
of the space 50 percent of the fees assessed for the space; and
7. Under UCC 2715, the resolution establishing the fee must specify the date by which the
fee is due, but the fee may be paid by the park owners in quarterly installments; and
8. There are six City of Ukiah mobilehome parks that are subject to the Rent Stabilization
Ordinance, including Circle Trailer Court (0 units), Manor Home Mobile Estates (137
units), Shady Grove Mobile Home Park (4 units subject to rent control), Modern Mobile
Home Park (26 units), Harold's Square Mobile Home Park (59 units), and Rancho Del Ray
Mobile Home Park (96 units).
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED that:
1. The City Council of the City of Ukiah approves an annual administration fee an amount
equally divided between billable spaces subject to rent control to be paid by the City's six
mobilehome parks.
2. The fee is due on July 30 of each year, but may be paid in quarterly installments on July
30, October 30, January 30, and April 30.
3. The City Council shall review the administration costs, including the cost of any
arbitrations, on an annual basis, during budget preparation as part of the annual fee review
1
in May and June, and make any adjustments so that the fee does not exceed the cost to
administer Chapter 8.
4. This resolution supersedes resolution 2018-22.
