Mayor Hosterman agreed with Council comments. There seems to be some grey area regarding the definition of a bona fide survey and because of this, she did not believe the process was carried out as well and as fully as it could have been, which is obvious from the results. She thinks it is important to continue the public hearing to another date when the Council is able to receive a truly bona fide survey, and to have staff provide input into the formation of the survey so that it is understandable, that it elicits answers from residents such that the Council can then rely upon that information to make a decision. She pointed out that the application is not being denied, but the Council finds it does not have enough information and the Council does not believe residents had the benefit of having enough information as well. She also wanted the City to do what it can to influence state legislation on the issue. She said perhaps the Sonoma case will be adjudicated in the near future, which would provide additional information with which to make a decision. MOTION: It was M/S by Cook- Kallio/Thorne (1) to continue the item; (2) to direct staff to work with the park owner and his representatives (a) to prepare an informational packet about the conversion that would be provided to the residents, (b) to conduct appropriate outreach to the residents to answer their questions and concerns about the conversion and (c) to prepare a revised survey that the residents would complete and return to the City, after which this item would be returned to the Council for a decision; (3) to support legislation to strengthen local control over mobilehome conversions; and (4) support other public entities' litigation efforts to exercise more land use control over mobilehome conversions.. Motion passed by the following vote: Ayes: Councilmembers Cook- Kallio, McGovern, Sullivan, Thorne, Mayor Hosterman Noes: None Absent: None BREAK: Mayor Hosterman called for a 3- minute break and thereafter reconvened the regular City Council meeting.
