STAFF REPORT
On May 1, 1991, the City of San Bernardino began the inspection of
Mobi1ehome Parks within the City. The City of San Bernardino has
been given authority by the State of California under the auspices
of the Mobilehome Rent Board to conduct these inspections.
CUrrently, the City receives approximately $25,200 a year to
conduct these inspections. Through these inspections the City of
San Bernardino is helping to eliminate blight and improve the
quality of the life within the mobilehome parks.
On the whole, the inspection program has met with great success.
In fact, the meetings that have been held prior to inspecting the
parks has ended in rounds of applause.
As in any program, there are a few who have refused to correct
their violations and will force the City into following up on the
citations to obtain compliance. It was discovered when the City
began to enforce it's citations that although the City had the
authority to perform the inspections, it does not have the
authority to enforce the law. (CCRT.25 2.1. 1004) "Requires Local
Agencies to adopt by Official Ordinance Title 25 the state law
governing mobilehome parks.:
Since there is nothing on file to indicate the City has adopted
Title 25; and thus received the authority to enforce the law, it
is necessary for the Mayor and Common Council to approve adding
Chapter 15.55 to the San Bernardino Municipal Code which will give
the City inspectors the authority to enforce the law.
