_ M M <br />The application of these factors reflect that the vas ous owners of our <br />park (there have been four) collected $Ltz,288.00, in excess of the National <br />Consumer Price Index during this period. <br />However, the U. S. Department of Labor's Consumer Price Index is com- <br />prised of 33 various items priced in 18 major cities and areas in the United <br />States. In the detailed C P`I report for September 1979, this U. S. average <br />index was 223.4. However, Miami, Florida, which is the pricing area for our <br />state, the C P I Index was 117.4 or 106 points less than the national C P I. <br />Therefore, this factor emphasizes the over charges by the previous and current <br />- :•owners. <br />The previous owner based his rent increase for 1980 on various factors <br />including a "significant increase in property taxes." Property taxes actually <br />increased by $1,159°73. The rent increase grossed $13,920.00 <br />In addition to the problems of escalating rent increases, the maintenance <br />of the common areas of -"our" park has been substantially reduced and has greatly <br />detracted from its appearance The shuffle board courts (2) cannot be used and <br />the floor in a corner of the Club House has rotted away and has been in this <br />condition for over a year. <br />When we discussed this matter with the Park Manager, he stated that he <br />was doing his best with the money allocated to him. The owners live in <br />Phoenix, Arizona, <br />You should also be aware that the value of the mobile homes in the park <br />exceeds the value of the park, <br />Fir. Commissioners, we appreciate the opportunity to acquaint you with the <br />unique problems of thousands of your constituents living in mobile homes in <br />Indian River County. When Village Green alone is completed, there will be an <br />additional 7,000 mobile home; residents in Indian River County. <br />Many of the mobile home parks are owned by out of the State speculators. <br />The only interest they have is generating profits which, in all probability, <br />:.'do not remain in the State of Florida. <br />Wa*urge the adoption of the Ordinance creating a "Mobile Home Advisory Board" <br />thus creating a much needed public forum, which could contribute to the solution <br />4 <br />'of many of these obvious problems. <br />BODK 45, FAGS ..
