The Town of Okotoks might have given residents of the Heritage Estates Mobile Home Park what they were looking for.

Council is giving thoughyt to the notion that residents of the park could form a Mobile Home Sites Advisory Board through the Mobile Home Sites Tenancies Act.

CAO Rick Quail says the move could help residents give themselves a voice when dealing with certain issues among a park owner and tenants.

"Council heard a report today (Tuesday) in which we were advised that under the Mobile Home Sites Tenancies Act, there is provision for a municipality to create a mobile home board  advisory type of committee."

Residents approached council a month ago addressing their latest lot fees and rental agreements going up higher than some can afford.

Quail says buy adopting a board, residents could now get better communication within a tentant to owner discussion on matter like that.

"Concerned residents could bring a concern issue and then the mobile home operators and developers would be afforded an opportunity to speak to a board relative to concerns and issues so I think it creates a forum for discussion."

When dealing with the issue of a Mobile Sites Advisory Board, Quail says its something the town has never had to deal with in the past but with some research were able to find reasons to approve one.

"This is the first time to my knowledge that this notion has come about and as a result of the concerns expressed by the residents by the Heritage Mobile Home Park, council wants us to look into it further."
