county's ordinance, and it is important that County Counsel review the notices
and communicate to the management of these parks counsel's opinion as to the
possible need for corrective action.
2) Section 540-2.814(h) discusses the option of a hearing officer not
rendering and mailing a decision within 20 days of the conclusion of a hearing,

Please be advised your base..rent will increase 3% of $445.00.
The-dollar .amount will be $13.35, which will raise your base
rent to $458.35, effective November 1, 1995.
This rent increase is consistent with the standard rent increase limitation
of Section 540-2.404.
Per Article 540-2.602, RENT INCREASE - NOTICE MEETING

Communities, Inc. , will accompany us and be available at the
main clubhouse to discuss this rent increase on Thursday,

You are hereby notified that the property owner hereby reserves and is not
waiving any right to impose a capital improvement rent increase with respect
to capital improvements completed at the property during the twenty-four (24)
months prior to the effective date of the Contra Costa County Ordinance and

capital improvement expenses incurred previous to the adoption of this ordinance
which improvements were completed before September 20, 1994?
4) Section 540-2.1210(e) sets forth the amortization of capital expenditures.
It is unclear if some of the items listed are capital improvements or operating
expenses; i.e. , lights, painting, roofing, stucco. It would be helpful to have
clarification of what is a capital expenditure and what is an operating expense.
Also, there appears to be three columns under the "Asset Life in Years" heading.
Further clarification is requested regarding these columns.
