VIII. COMMUNITY FORUM. 1 <br /> 2 <br />Ms. Mirca, 2501 Lowry Grove, translating for a Lowry Grove resident. She received a letter 3 <br />saying they have 45 days to find $6M to keep Lowry Grove community. She would like the 4 <br />support of the City to help them. The community has found $3M and need to find $3M more 5 <br />and they want support from the Council. 6 <br /> 7 <br />Ms. Maria Rosando, she asked the Council for their support. She does not think it is fair to be 8 <br />kicked out of her mobile home. Other family members have also purchased mobile homes 9 <br />within the year and they were not told the park would be sold when they purchased their homes. 10 <br />Others who had been there for many years were aware the park was being sold. They should not 11 <br />have sold homes to people knowing the park was being sold. They have children, veterans and 12 <br />elderly people that do not have places to go. She wants to know yes or no if the Council will 13 <br />support them. Mayor Faust stated they need to follow the state law. They need $6M to purchase 14 <br />the park and have $3M at this time. If they do get the $6M would the Council support them. 15 <br />She asked what the Council would do in their place. Mayor Faust stated the Council does not 16 <br />get involved in private sales. The Council would not be able to take a position on this. Ms. 17 <br />Rosando asked if the Council is aware of the sale of the mobile home park. Mayor Faust stated 18 <br />they have not received notice of the sale or a potential purchaser. 19 <br /> 20 <br />Mayor Faust stated the City never enters into any type of business transactions. The government 21 <br />should not be involved in these business transactions. He empathizes with the residents. The 22 <br />owner always has a right to sell. Mayor Faust stated there are renter’s assistance organizations 23 <br />within the State. Owners have the right to sell their property. 24 <br /> 25 <br />IX.
