tion Board for the purpose of establishing and developing to
fruition an educational and communications program within each
mobile home park. Also presented at the Committee meeting was a
report on the inspection of Vogue Mobile Home Park from the Build-
ing and Safety Department. The report concluded that the majority
of code violations were the tenants' responsibility and not the
owner's. The Chairman of the Mobile Home Park Committee stated
that the Committee recommends that Inland Mediation Board start
their program immediately upon approval of contract and proceed
with deliberate speed towards completion of phase one during the
first year, with a six month summary and a first year report in
June 1984 to the Mayor and Common Council. (16)

by Council Member Strickler, to direct the Superintendent of
Building and Safety, as circumstances warrant, to inspect mobile
home parks in the City of San Bernardino to ensure compliance with
