5.16.070 Registration and administrative fees.
A. Establishment of Registration Fee. At the time of initial registration or any subsequent registration, park owners shall pay to the city such registration fee for each mobilehome rental space within the park as may be established by resolution of the city council (not to exceed the reasonable and necessary costs of administration of this chapter). The city council may also provide that up to two-thirds of that fee may be passed through to homeowners as special and limited rent increases if apportioned equally among the spaces and charged in twelve (12) equal consecutive installments.
Notwithstanding any other provision of this section, where the total annual amount of the fee to be passed through to each homeowner is less than forty-eight dollars ($48.00), the park owner may elect to recover the fee from the homeowners in one lump sum rather than in equal monthly installments.
B. Late Charge. If a park owner does not pay the fee provided for in subsection A of this section within the time period established by the city council, a late charge shall be assessed in an amount established by resolution. No late charges may be passed through as special and limited rent increases to homeowners.
C. Unpaid Fee. No hearing or other proceedings shall be scheduled to take place, and no rent increase will be granted or will take effect for any mobilehome park for which there are unpaid registration fees.
D. Purpose of the Fee. The registration fee provided for by this section is intended to defray the reasonable and necessary costs associated with the administration of this chapter and the regulations promulgated pursuant thereto.
E. Other Administrative Fees. The city council may set by resolution other administrative fees to cover the reasonable costs of processing various requests and appeals, as it deems necessary. (Ord. 168 § 1, 1997; Ord. 116 § 2, 1994; Ord. 91 § 1, 1993; Ord. 48U § 1, 1991; prior code § 6706)
