Subject Final Report - Citizens Mobile Home Park
Fact-Finding Committee
Date February 7, 1985
Approved
Date
Introduction
This is the final report of data gathered by the Citizens
Mobile Home Park Fact-Finding Committee pertaining to mobile
home parks in the San Bernardino area and surrounding cities
and county areas of the Inland Valley. An interim report was
submitted by the Committee on September 27, 1984.
Background
. Creation of Committee - The Mayor and Common Council
on January 23, 1984 established the Citizens Mobile
Home Fact-Finding. Committee "responsible for investi-
gation, gathering and reporting of facts and statisti-
cal data concerning mobile home rents and the number
and use of mobile home rental spaces from January I,
1981 to the present" (Attachment I), and appointed 7
members (Attachment 2) to accomplish this task.
. Action Charge to Committee ~ Included fact-finding
notice above plus information regarding the Consumer
Price Index (CPI) , demographic data on low income
home owners, cost of relocation of single, double
and triple mobile homes and the costs of alternative
rental in San Bernardino. A subsequent charge was
added on May 21, 1984 "to prepare a formula defining
rent go~ging" (Attachment 3).
. Meetings of Committee - Since my appointment as Chair-
man, 7 meetings were held on May 16, 1984, June 6,
1984, July 11, 1984, September 12, 1984, September 26,
1984, November 21, 1984 and January 9, 1985 with min-
utes attached (Attachment 4).
. Fact-Finding Process - The Committee determined that
the bulk of the fact-finding effort would be accom-
plished through a survey of mobile home owners using
a specially designed questionnaire and individual
cover letter (Attachment 5.l., The remainder of the
.data which is of general application was acquired
from other appropriate sources.

Findings
. "Rent Gouging" was discussed at length by the Committee
but no concensus was reached on a "formula" to define
rent gouging. It was generally agreed that charges of
rent gouging should be addressed on an individual case-
by-case basis because of varying financial implications
between the different mobile home parks.
At the January 9, 1985 meeting each member pre-
sented his position on this subject. Definitions of
the Committee are shown on Attachment 6.
. Survey Results - Questionnaires were sent to a total of
134 park owners in the survey area of which 75 responded.
A breakdown of the responses by city is shown on Attach-
ment 7. In the survey area outside the City of San Ber-
nardino 43% responded 0 An analysis of this data is shown
on Attachment 8.
Within the City of San Bernardino 34 of the 39 park
owners responded. The non-respondent owners reside out-
side San Bernardino County and refused to complete the
questionnaires even after several direct appeals.
. Analysis of Data from San Bernardino City mobile home
parks has been prepared in more detail and compares
parks based upon the age of the park. Separate analysis
are shown for the following categories in Attachment 9:
Less than 10 years old
10 - 14 years
15 - 19 years
20 - 29 years
over 30 years
. Summary of Survey Data comparing San Bernardino mobile
home parks with other parks surveyed is shown on Attach-
ment 10.
. Consumer Price Index (CPI) - Changes in CPI from the
period 1960 through November 1983 was obtained from the
Department of Labor and is shown on Attachment 11.
. Low Income Home OWners Demographic Data, requested by
the Council, has been obtained from the City's Planning
Department and is reflected on Attachment 12.

. Alternative Rental Data - After discussion with the Board
of Realtors, County Housing Authority and Shidler Develop-
ment, Inc., Property Management Division, it was deter-
mined that the most realistic rental data would be re-
flected in current classified ads. This rental informa-
tion was then obtained from "The Sun" classified section
dated September 15,1984 (Attachment 13).
. Cost of Mobile Home Relocation is shown on Attachment 14.
Conclusion
The Committee believes it has now fulfilled your action charge
to investigate, gather and report facts and statistical data con-
cerning mobile home parks. It also wishes to express appreciation
to the Council and City Administrator offices for their staff sup-
port in carrying out this effort.

CITIZENS MOBILE HOY~ FACT-FINDING COMMITTEE
May 16, 1984
The meeting was called to order by Chairman Howard Littlefield.
Appropriate introductions were made to insure persons present were
acquainted and informal roll call was conducted to ascertain those
members of the Committee absent.
The meeting was convened by the Chairman with the following
persons present: Howard Littlefield, Arthur Childs, Arthur Ferrin,
Ralph Reed, Jack Duckworth and Olen Jones. The Council Executive
Assistant explained that John Stubblefield, a second owner represen-
tative, would be late to the meeting because of an irrevocable com-
mitment involving litigation. The above personnel were joined later
in the meeting by City Attorney Ralph Prince and Mr. Robert Faulks,
a third representative of park owners.
The Chairman presented a perception of the Committee's charge
from the City Council and the methodology which he proposed to
utilize in fulfilling this charge. The Committee agreed to confine
its efforts to assembling the data and statistics necessary for
compliance with the resolution approved by the Mayor and Council
establishing the Citizens Mobile Home Fact-Finding Committee.
The Committee agreed to meet on Wednesday afternoons with the
starting hour of 1:30 p.m. and the meeting not to exceed two hours.
Subsequent to a round-robin discussion and interfacing of dialogue
by members of the Committee, as well as the City Attorney, the
Chairman presented a "matrix" which he proposed the Committee con-
sider for assembling data relevant to the Committee's charge and
ultimately for the purpose of submitting the Committee's report to
the Mayor and Council. The Committee defined the market area to be
considered in the study as including the following: San Bernardino,
Redlands, Colton, Grand Terrace, Rialto, Fontana, Yucaipa and unin-
corporated areas adjacent to San Bernardino.
The Committee members made several recommendations regarding the
proposed matrix wherein the data shown would reflect a more accurate
fact-finding statistic. The Chairman advised that he would revise
the proposed report and that the Council staff would mail a copy of
the revised report, the agenda for the next meeting, and a list of
names, addresses and phone numbers of Committee members to each member.
A recommendation was made and agreed upon by the Committee that
the Committee would request an appropriate number of research persons
to assist in attaining the statistics for the report. The number to
be determined at a later date subsequent to finalizing the report
format.

for the Fact-Finding Committee.

Chairman Littlefield called the meeting to order and introduced Mr.
John Stubblefield to other members of the Committee. Minutes of previous
meeting were presented to Committee members and, after due consideration,
were approved as written.
Chairman Littlefield stated he wished each member to declare their
thoughts on the subject of "rent gouging" as the Committee is charged, by
Council action, to prepare a formula defining rent gouging.
Mr. John Stubblefield stated he felt that rent gouging exists when
a mobile home park owner exacts more than the fair market value of his
park. A simple definition would be that gouging occurs when a park owner
exacts more than a fair rate of return on the replacement value of his
mobile home park, where the replacement value of the park equals the
amount of money required to duplicate an existing mobile home park of
equal quality and comparable location.
Mr. Art Ferrin stated his feeling is exactly opposite to Mr. Stubble-
field and the formula should be based on original investment, as opposed
to current value of mobile home park.
Mr. Ralph Reed stated he feels inequities exist in his park in the
fees charged for space; that different rates exist for the same type/
size of spaces that are side-by-side and this is unfair. Circumstances
of tenant should not regulate rental rate and he felt this inequity
should be considered.

June 6, 1984

Mr. Arthur Childs felt that most tenants were on Social Security
and CPI must be taken into consideration in the formula. Also consider-
ation must be given to problems caused by resale of mobile home parks.
Mr. Jack Duckworth stated he felt that rent gouging occurs when a
park owner exacts more than a fair rate of return on the replacement
value of his mobile home park, where the replacement value of the park
equals the amount of money required to duplicate an existing mobile
home park of equal quality and comparable location. This consideration
will give a reasonable rate of return to investor.
Mr. Robert Faulks felt consideration should be given to replacement
value, as opposed to investment cost, for arriving at formula for rent
gouging. Also a rule should be included in the formula righting a rate
inequity.
City Attorney Prince explained ramifications of recent court decisio,-
concerning "rent gouging" and the twelve logical factors specified for co~-
sideration in determining whether a requested rent increase is just, fair
and reasonable. He felt a matrix approach for this Committee to assemble
information is reasonable and acceptable without getting into legal areas.
Committee members agreed they are a fact-finding group only and will pref-
ace evaluation of the data in this manner.
Chairman Littlefield asked Committee members how the charge of prepar-
ing their first order of business can be accomplished - a formula defining
"rent gouging". What is the intent of the Council? After discussion, it
was the consensus of the Committee that Councilman Steve Marks be requested
to attend next meeting of Committee to explain the issue, with discussio~
of rent gouging, so members can appreciate the magnitude of their task;
and a review discussion of Committee action today, with request for addi-
tional clarification from Councilman Marks to assist the Committee in.
approaching the task to be accomplished.
The Committee reviewed completeness of fact-finding matrix, specific
use, geographic parameters, additional factors for consideration; with
clarification of each section - item-by-item- and amendments to matrix as
agreed by members.
The Chairman stated a determination must be made for necessary actio~
to be taken by Committee before proceeding into fact-finding. It was the
consensus of the members that development of a questionnaire is necessary
using information in matrix, with a cover letter to encourage cooperatior.
of park owners to supply information. The Committee also agreed the fact-
finding matrix, questionnaire and cover letter is the best method to
proceed with their appointed task.

After discussion, the Co~ittee made the following requests:
I. Council staff to contact adjacent cities in the market area and
community, i.e., Redlands, Colton, Grand Terrace, Rialto, Fontana, Yucaipa
and County areas, and obtain lists of names and addresses of the park
owners - rough estimate 150 to 200 names.
2. Council staff to rough out questionnaire and cover letter, which
seeks information listed on the matrix, for Committee to review at next
meeting. Response of 40% is expected to questionnaire; therefore, staff
will need to follow-up with the park owners not responding.
3. Matrix to be revised by Council staff according to changes.

The Committee Dade the following recommendations:
1. Use of consultant be tabled at this time and brought back for
consideration when more information is assembled.
2. A copy of completed data should be promised to all respondents
of questionnaire.
3. No ID badges be issued at this time, as they are unnecessary with
questionnaire and cover letter approach.

The meeting was called to order by Chairman Littlefield and
minutes of the previous meeting were approved as written.
Discussion of the Committee assignment - rent gouging definition
and formula - was continued until the next meeting when Councilman
Marks will be present.
The Committee discussed the proposed cover letter which will be
sent to mobile home park owners. It was agreed that the word "matrix"
should be changed to "questionnaire" and a response date of three weeks
be included. It was further decided that a phone call to the owner
preceding the letter and questionnaire would produce better results.
Chairman Littlefield, along with Committee members, developed a
proposed questionnaire and suggested Olen Jones, Council Executive
Assistant, finalize the questionnaire and mail to mobile home park
owners in the prescribed areas. A four-week goal from July 11, 1984
was set for letters and questionnaires to be in mail.
Chairman Littlefield discussed the letter he received from Marvin
Shaw, County Environmental Public Works Agency, regarding a block
grant program to set up a mobile home park owner cooperative associa-
tion wherein mobile home owners would buy into the park and have some
ownership in it. However, Hr. Littlefield stated he doesn't see it as
being a part of the charge given the Committee and asked for sugges-
tions of how to respond. He suggested the Committee refer to the City
Council for review and appropriate action.
John Stubblefield asked if it would do any harm to allow Marvin
Shaw to make a presentation to see if the proposal makes sense. Mr.
Littlefield recommended to the Committee that Marvin Shaw be invited
to make a presentation. He further stated the matter should be looked
at but that "this body. should not be the one to do it. Mr. Little-
field stated he felt strongly that the matter should be referred to
the Council for them to consider.

short presentation.
2. Olen Jones to look into the situation regarding the
$100,000 of Community Development Block Grant monies
allocated by the Board of Supervisors for the purpose
of locating suitable public surplus properties and
the development of a "resident-owned limited equity
mobile home park cooperative".
3. Suggest Olen Jones determine the feasibility and ap-
propriate action for presenting Marvin Shaw's letter
before the Mayor and Council.
4. Olen Jones will insure that Marvin Shaw is invited
to the next Mobile Home Park Fact-Finding Committee
meeting September 12, 1984.
5. Olen Jones will complete telephone survey of the
mobile home park owners in regard to completing the
questionnaire.
The next meeting was set for Wednesday, September 12, 1984, at

Mr. Marvin Shaw, Deputy Administrator
County Environmental Public Works Agency
The meeting was called to order by Chairman Littlefield and minutes
of the previous meeting were approved as written.
Chairman Littlefield, together with committee members, previously
developed a proposed questionnaire for mailing to mobile home park owners
in the San Bernardino area, surrounding cities and county ares for gather-
ing and reporting of facts and statistical data concerning mobile home
rents and the number and use of mobile home rental spaces, from January
1, 1981 to the present. Mr. Olen Jones stated the response to the ques-
tionnaire was exceptionally good and the summary of raw data of mobile
home parks survey summary chart was prepared by Ms. Susan Chow. After
presentation of summary by Susan Chow, she answered questions asked by
committee members.
Mr. Marvin Shaw, Deputy Administrator, County Environmental Public
Works Agency, appeared before the committee to make this group aware
what the county is doing to provide affordable housing through a block
grant program to set up a mobile home park owner cooperative associa-
tion wherein mobile home owners would buy into the park and have some
ownership in it. He stated the single best resource available for
affordable housing is limited equity cooperatives and an innovated ap-
proach to homeownership, with priorities for ownership to be senior
citizens and persons on fixed low incomes. After committee partici-
pation in discussion with Mr. Shaw, Chairman Littlefield thanked Mr.
Shaw for his presentation; stated the study merits immediate consider-
ation by Mayor and Council. The Committee recommended that the City
consider joining with the county in developing such a mobile park; and
that their review indicates the limited equity housing cooperatives
study has merit and ample senior citizens, when given the opportunity,
will participate in such a program.

After lengthy general discussion, it was the consensus of the
committee as follows:
1. Age of mobile home parks surveyed should be addressed in
summary to provide more meaningful information.
2. An interim report from the committee will be discussed at the

Hr. Ralph Reed
Hr. Arthur Childs
Sr. Management Analyst - Susan Chow
The meeting was called to order by Chairman Littlefield and
minutes of the previous meeting were approved as written.
The Committee discussed details included in the fact-finding
survey and reiterated that what is still needed is to obtain data
from remaining park owners who did not respond; specifically, 19
owners from the City of San Bernardino. There is also a need to
review the data in more depth and to consider possible reformatting
before final presentation.
The Committee reviewed and approved the draft interim report
and concurred in its being forwarded to each member of the Council
and the Mayor for their individual use as an interim report.
The next meeting of the Committee is scheduled for November 21,
1984, at 1:30 p.m., during which time they will consider results of
the election regarding the rent control proposition and will deter-
mine next action the Committee is to take.
Meeting adjourned.

Mr. Robert Faulks

Mr. Arthur Ferrin
Mr. Arthur Childs
Mr. Ralph Reed
Councilman Steve Marks
Mr. Phil Arvizo - Council Executive Assistant
Ms. Susan Chow - Sr. Management Analyst
The meeting was called to order by Chairman Littlefield and minutes
of the previous meeting were approved as written.
The Committee discussed the definition of rent gouging, the merit
of continuing further meetings and received a report on survey results
to date. A clarification of the Committee's tasking was given by
Councilman Marks.
Mr. Childs requested that Chairman Littlefield review the alterna-
tive definition of rent gouging that he submitted earlier. Each Commit-
tee member agreed to submit a definition of rent gouging at the next
meeting and the Committee would settle on one definition at that time.
It was determined that Chairman Littlefield, along with Susan Chow's
assistance, would put together a draft final report and send to the Com-
mittee for review prior to the next meeting. The report would then be
reviewed, discussed and finalized at the next meeting.
After considerable discussion, it was agreed that the Committee
should continue to meet until final survey results are compiled. Members
volunteered to assist Susan Chow in contacting owners or tenants to get
necessary information. Once the survey is completed, the package will be
presented to the City Council with the recommendation that the Committee
be dissolved.
Meeting adjourned to January 2, 1985 at 1:30 p.m.

Dear Mobile Home Park Owner:
The Mayor and Council of the City of San Bernardino appointed
a Citizens Mobile Home Park Fact-Finding Committee composed of three
mobile home park residents and three mobile home park owners with an
impartial Chairperson appointed by the Mayor and Council. The appoint-
ment and successful functioning of this Committee was designed as an
alternative to "mobile home park rent control" in the City of San Ber-
nardino. The findings and facts of the Committee, as presented to the
Mayor and Council, will determine the Mayor and Council's ultimate
action on mobile home rent, i.e., developing and enacting a rent con-
trol ordinance, invoking a moratorium on mobile home rent or, in the
absence of rent gouging and other inequities, taking no action.
The charge or task given this Fact-Finding Committee is twofold:
(1) present to the Mayor and Council a document outlining "findings
and facts" on mobile home rent eharges, property turnover and other
information as outlined on the enclosed questionnaire; and (2) develop
a formula for defining "rent gouging". Therefore, the importance of
valid data and total objectivity in the compilation of the data cannot
be overly emphasized.
Additionally, the Committee desires to complete a survey of the
mobile home parks throughout the Inland Empire, not only for comparison,
but, to expand the data base. This action will provide the Mayor and
Council with a broad overview of the mobile home rent structure in San
Bernardino and throughout the contiguous market area.
Your favorable consideration and cooperation in providing the
pertinent data, as shown on the enclosed questionnaire, is sincerely
coveted to insure accuracy and Objectivity is reflected in the survey
data. Because of the urgent requirement for compiling the survey
results and presenting to the Mayor and Council as soon as possible,
the Committee requests your response not later than three weeks from
( "the date letter is received.
~;)

COMMITTEE MEMBER STATEMENTS
ON RENT GOUGING
Three mobile home park owners (John Stubblefield, Jack Duckworth
and Robert Faulks) and one renter (Arthur Childs) agreed to the
following definition of rent gouging:
Gouging occurs when a park owner exacts more than a fair rate of
return on the replacement value of his mobile home park, where the re-
placement value of the park equals the amount of money required to
duplicate an existing mobile home park of equal quality and comparable
location.
Arthur Ferrin agreed to the following formula: The rent formula
should be based on original investment value of the mobile home park
and consideration of CPI changes compounded annually but not applied
retroactively.
Howard Littlefield's definition: "Rent gouging" is defined as
charging unreasonably high rent for use of property in comparison to
what is deemed a fair return on investment of the owner where "invest-
ment" takes into account:
Initial acquisition cost
Operating and maintenance costs
Costs of projected improvements and growth
Current fair market value of the property
CPI and inflationary factors
Profit
Ralph Reed's definition: "My definition of rent gouging is for
the park I live in and does not reflect any other.
All space sizes are 42' by 72'; the rent variation does not
reflect the coach size, as some doubles (size of coach) rent for as
low as $121, and some singles (size of coach) rent for as high as
$145.
The new space rents of coaches now vacant are to be $152.
With land spaces (lots) the same size, rents should be the
same also."

rents range from the high of $160 to the low of $50.
On June 1, 1984, the average rent of 7 mobile home parks increased
9% to $97 from 1981. Both the high and low rents experienced no
Change. Apparently, Brown and Welcome Inn make little adjustments
in their rentals.
