preservation of age restricted community status, and ensuring proper maintenance of <br /> the park. <br /> Key Elements of the Proposed Hacienda Mobilehome Park Rent Stabilization <br /> Agreement <br /> The proposed agreement addresses the following matters, among others: <br /> 1. In lieu capital improvement costs have been eliminated. For those residents who <br /> used to pay an additional $17 or $34 per month for this, they no longer will have <br /> to. There will be no change in the rent, however, for residents that moved in after <br /> 2007 as they did or do not pay this cost separately since pursuant to the previous <br /> agreement it was factored into the base rent. (Article IV.) <br /> 2. Longer term residents (prior to 2002) will pay a property tax pass through of <br /> $51.20 each month. (Article IV.) <br /> 3. Future rent increases will be based on the Consumer Price Index (CPI) for <br /> August of each year, and applied the following January. The CPI will not be <br /> applied to any capital improvement charges or property tax pass throughs. The <br /> park owner must apply increases each year, there is no mechanism to bank rent <br /> increases and apply them in future years. The CPI floor has been lowered to <br /> 1.5%, the ceiling remains at 5%. (Article V.) <br /> 4. The dispute resolution process makes clear that the City of Pleasanton's <br /> Municipal Code provisions will apply if a resolution is not reached, and that Code <br /> provides for administrative penalties of up to $1,000 per day if so ordered by a <br /> hearing officer after a proper hearing. (Article III.) <br /> 5. The park will remain an age restricted community. (Article IX.) <br /> 6. Capital Improvements costs collected under the prior agreement were in dispute. <br /> The parties have resolved that dispute by having the park owner contribute funds <br /> for the rehabilitation of the kitchen in the clubhouse, including all funds collected <br /> as in lieu capital improvement costs during 2013. The total park owner <br /> contribution will be $65,000, which will be held in escrow and only released upon <br /> a satisfactory showing to the City that monies were spent for rehabilitation of the <br /> kitchen. Any excess monies will be returned to residents as of December 31, <br /> 2012. The Park owner cannot assess residents for costs that exceed the park <br /> owner's $65,000 contribution for the rehabilitation of the kitchen in the clubhouse. <br /> (Article VI.) <br /> 7. Other capital improvements may only be passed on to residents in accordance <br /> with the relevant provisions of the City of Pleasanton's Mobilehome Rent <br /> Stabilization Ordinance.
