INITIATION OF THE PROCESS TO BECOME THE ENFORCEMENT AGENCY FOR MOBILEHOMES IN HERMOSA BEACH

Recommendation:

That the City Council introduce the attached ordinance which will start the process for the City to perform the inspections related to mobilehomes in the City.

Background:

The City Council directed that staff review the State regulations regarding whether or not the City could assume inspection authority for Title 25 from the State. The City must adopt an ordinance agreeing to assume the responsibility, set the effective date, supply qualified inspectors, use the State fee schedule, and follow the State rules and regulations found in Title 25. The attached ordinance, once adopted, would act as the notice to the State that the City wants to assume this authority. After reviewing the ordinance and other related documents, the State will approve the transfer along with all related documents.

The ordinance sets an effective date of July 1, 1999, which should allow enough time for review by the State. It is important to note that the only change will be the agency doing the inspections and enforcement. The regulations are the same and the fees, form, etc. will also be the same as performed now by the State. The difference will be that our residents will be able to obtain this service at City Hall instead of Riverside.
