Analysis:
The Mobile Home Advisory Board (MHAB) is an advisory body to the City Council that works to ensure the quality of life in Huntington Beach mobile home parks. The MHAB addresses issues that affect the City's 18 mobile home communities by providing a forum for communication among mobile home residents, park owners and the City Council. The MHAB is comprised of nine members who equally represent mobile home park residents, park owners, and the Huntington Beach community at large.
The MHAB currently has four (4) vacancies: one (2) resident members, one (1) at-large member, and one (1) park owner/manager position. The City advertised the MHAB recruitment through the following means: posting announcement of the vacancies on the City's Civic Center bulletin board and announcing the vacancies at City Council meetings. Eight (8) applications were received.
The City Council liaisons to the MHAB, Kim Carr and Mike Posey, reviewed the applications and made recommendations to fill the three (3) of the four (4) vacancies. The proposed recommendations are Mobile Home Residents - Allison Plum and Everett Ashmore, and Resident-At-Large Representative - Donald Hart. Applications are still being reviewed for the fourth open position.
