Council adopts ordinance extending tenant protections and opportunity-to-purchase for manufactured‑home‑park residents
Summary
Council adopted Ordinance 3306 on second reading, adding chapter 10.116 to the Ashland Municipal Code to establish notice‑of‑sale, opportunity‑to‑purchase and tenant protections for manufactured‑home‑park residents. Council read into the record two amendments adopted between first and second reading and then approved the ordinance by roll call.
The council voted to adopt Ordinance 3306, which adds chapter 10.116 to the Ashland Municipal Code and establishes notice‑of‑sale rights, opportunity‑to‑purchase provisions and other tenant protections for residents of manufactured‑home parks.
City attorney Brandon Goldman reviewed amendments made between first and second reading, including an integration of ORS references governing tenant requests for financial information (citing ORS 90.844 and ORS 90.8442) and removal of a duplicative financial‑information section. Staff said the ordinance as presented reflects council amendments and was published in the packet for public review. Councillor Bloom moved approval of second reading by title only and adoption; the motion was seconded and passed on roll call. Several councilors thanked staff and community collaborators for the multi‑stakeholder work that produced the ordinance.
The adopted ordinance creates a local legal framework intended to give manufactured‑home residents clearer notice and a defined opportunity period to respond when park property is sold.
