tenants and that information is currently being
developed for them.
Mayor /Chair Hunter stated that the public hearing was
open for City Council Item 9.A, and Agency Item 4.A.
Ann Abbath, 47 W. High Street, stated that she and her
family are tenants of a family member who owns the
house in which they are living. She also noted that
her son and his wife live at 51 W. High Street, which
is located on the same property. She explained that
the property is adjacent to the Moorpark Mobilehome
Park and is included in the Relocation Plan. She
stated that information has not been made available to
her regarding her family's possible relocation.
Mr. Kueny stated that the City is in the process of
performing an appraisal to acquire the property. He
further stated that staff would meet with Ms. Abbath,
since there is some information that can be related to
the tenant without divulging information that will
compromise the property negotiations with the owner.
Councilmember /Agency Member Mikos questioned if the
process is different for Ms. Abbath's family property
because it is adjacent to the Moorpark Mobilehome Park
and not part of the Park.
David J. Richman, 100 W. Broadway, Long Beach,
addressed the Council /Agency representing Pacific
Relocation Consultants as the City /Agency's consultant
on this matter. He responded that the laws that
affect tenants are the same, but the process itself is
slightly different in the establishment of the
benefits for tenants versus how it was accomplished at
the Mobilehome Park. He stated that the compensation
is based upon 42 months of rental assistance; the
inability to pay versus current rent; and that the
funds may be used to purchase a home or to continue
renting.
In response to Councilmember /Agency Member Mikos, Mr.
Richman further explained that the difference between
the benefits being made available to this adjacent
property tenant and to the Moorpark Mobilehome Park

tenants, is that the property occupied by this tenant
has not been given an offer of purchase and the
Moorpark Mobilehome Park has already been purchased by
the City. He clarified that the acquisition offer is
the time distinction when the benefits are established
and extended to the tenants.
Mayor /Chair Hunter closed the public hearing for City
Council Item 9.A. and Agency Item 4.A.
