Quartzsite to hold RV‑park work session as council prepares for HB 2199 changes
Summary
Town staff proposed a workshop to review RV‑park codes and tenant/owner education; a council member said HB 2199 is expected to become law this fall and urged earlier training for park managers to reduce legal risk.
The Quartzsite Town Council agreed to pursue a work session to review local RV‑park codes and explore what the town can do now in light of state action. The town manager said the workshop would cover both state developments and local options and that staff will poll calendars to schedule it this month.
A council member told colleagues HB 2199 is not yet final but is expected to become law around September or October and urged starting training for park managers now, saying, "If a park manager is properly trained, it can spare the owner from being sued." The council discussed that education should target both park owners and tenants, and the town will provide packets from the county assessor to park owners explaining recordkeeping and reporting responsibilities.
Council members clarified process steps for any ordinance changes: proposed code changes must first go to citizen review, then to the planning and zoning commission, before returning to council. No ordinance was adopted at the meeting; instead the town will set the workshop to gather information and stakeholders' input.
