Committee agrees to draft resolution supporting bill to protect manufactured-home community residents
Summary
County committee members agreed to prepare a resolution backing Senate Bill 1027, which committee members summarized would strengthen notice and purchase-right protections for residents of manufactured-home communities; members will refine language and return the draft to a future meeting.
A committee member asked the group to consider supporting Senate Bill 1027, which, as described during the discussion, would provide added notification and purchase-right protections for residents of manufactured-home communities. "It gives residents of manufactured home communities some more security ... they get notified first ... they have, like, 60 days to come up with an offer ... if they're gonna close it or change the use, they have to give them a 12 month notice," the Chair summarized while outlining elements reportedly in the bill.
Members said the draft language circulating with the request needs refinement to fit county procedure and powers. The committee directed staff and a commissioner to work with Nikki (county staff) to proof the draft resolution, tighten uncertain language and bring a cleaned-up version back on the next agenda. No formal county resolution was adopted at this meeting; members committed to drafting and returning a resolution for formal consideration.
