Fiscal Note
The City Attorney's Office has indicated that there may be some initial enforcement action required, but such actions, if any, are anticipated to be few and should be able to be accommodated within existing staff resources.
Title
SUBSTITUTE - Amending portions of Section 9.23 of the Madison General Ordinances to incorporate State of Wisconsin regulations for Mobile Home Parks, to define those regulations and to repeal certain obsolete provisions.
Body
DRAFTER'S ANALYSIS: This proposal amends existing Sec 9.23, MGO, by repealing certain provisions that are no longer enforced by the City, by adopting State of Wisconsin statutes and administrative rules as part of the Madison General Ordinances and by adding certain new provisions that interpret and define those provisions of state law. Adoption of these provisions by the City of Madison will allow the City to provide enforcement of regulations when such enforcement may not be available from the State of Wisconsin. Additionally, the proposal clarifies that the applicable provisions of Chapter 32, Landlord and Tenant, in Madison General Ordinances apply to landlords and tenants in mobile home parks. This is not new, but cross references will help clarify Section 9.23, MGO. The City of Madison's authority to adopt these regulations is contained in Sec. 66.0435, Wis. Stats.
The repealed provisions are obsolete and are no longer enforced by the City. They relate to water supply, service buildings and waste disposal. The provisions have been superceded by state regulations.
The provisions of state law that would be adopted in whole or in part by this proposal are as follows:
Section 710. 15, Wis. Stats., Sub (3), relating to Prohibited Consideration of Age of Mobile Home, Sub (4), Prohibited Consideration of Change in Ownership or Occupancy of Mobile Home, Sub (4m), No Interest in Real Estate, Screening Permitted
ATCP 125.02, relating to Tie-in sales; separate or discriminatory charges; ...
