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 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/managers, and the Huntington Beach community at large.
The MHAB currently has five (5) vacancies for two (2) resident members, two (2) at-large members, and one (1) park owner/manager position. The City advertised the MHAB recruitment through the following means: announcement of the vacancies on the City's website and at the August 31, 2020, MHAB regular meeting. Two (2) new applications were received.
The City Council liaisons to the MHAB, Kim Carr and Mike Posey, reviewed the applications and made recommendations to fill three (3) of the five (5) vacancies. The proposed recommendations are to appoint Resident Representatives, Jerry Bleiweiss and Mary Jo Baretich, and reappoint Donald Hart for a second term as an At-Large Representative. Applications continue to be solicited for the remaining At-Large and Park Owner vacancies.
