City Council Regular Meeting Minutes <br />May 24, 2016 <br />Page 6 <br />1 VIII. COMMUNITY FORUM. <br />2 <br />3 Ms. Mirca, 2501 Lowry Grove, translating for a Lowry Grove resident. She received a letter <br />4 saying they have 45 days to find $6M to keep Lowry Grove community. She would like the <br />5 support of the City to help them. The community has found $3M and need to find $3M more <br />6 and they want support from the Council. <br />8 Ms. Maria Rosando, she asked the Council for their support. She does not think it is fair to be <br />9 kicked out of her mobile home. Other family members have also purchased mobile homes <br />10 within the year and they were not told the park would be sold when they purchased their homes. <br />11 Others who had been there for many years were aware the park was being sold. They should not <br />12 have sold homes to people knowing the park was being sold. They have children, veterans and <br />13 elderly people that do not have places to go. She wants to know yes or no if the Council will <br />14 support them. Mayor Faust stated they need to follow the state law. They need $6M to purchase <br />15 the park and have $3M at this time. If they do get the $6M would the Council support them. <br />16 She asked what the Council would do in their place. Mayor Faust stated the Council does not <br />17 get involved in private sales. The Council would not be able to take a position on this. Ms. <br />18 Rosando asked if the Council is aware of the sale of the mobile home park. Mayor Faust stated <br />19 they have not received notice of the sale or a potential purchaser. <br />20 <br />21 Mayor Faust stated the City never enters into any type of business transactions. The government <br />22 should not be involved in these business transactions. He empathizes with the residents. The <br />23 owner always has a right to sell. Mayor Faust stated there are renter's assistance organizations <br />24 within the State. Owners have the right to sell their property. <br />25 <br />26 IX.
