Cloverdale City Council convened on May 14, 2025, addressing key community concerns, particularly regarding mobile home rent regulations. During the public comment segment, a resident urged the council to enhance transparency around the recently passed mobile home rent ordinance. The speaker highlighted the need for clear communication on allowable rent increases tied to the Consumer Price Index (CPI) and suggested creating a dedicated webpage for residents to access information about the ordinance and frequently asked questions.

The resident also raised concerns about the future of mobile home parks in Cloverdale, advocating for a zoning overlay to ensure these parks remain designated for mobile homes. This proposal was initially tabled during the ordinance's passage but was deemed necessary to protect residents from potential future changes in ownership and management.

In addition to the mobile home discussion, the meeting featured a report from the student liaison, who shared updates on school activities, including successful community engagement events and upcoming senior activities. The liaison expressed personal growth through participation in the council, emphasizing the value of communication skills developed during the experience.

The council acknowledged the importance of these discussions, particularly the need for ongoing dialogue about housing stability and community resources. As the meeting concluded, the council members expressed gratitude for the contributions of the student liaison and reaffirmed their commitment to addressing community needs effectively. The next steps will involve revisiting the zoning overlay proposal and enhancing public access to information regarding the mobile home rent ordinance.
