Fridley, Minn., Mun. Code ch. 508 (2026) § 508.05
Public Hearing
Operative Text
A public hearing will be held by the City Council within 90 days of receipt of the closure statement to review the closure statement and evaluate any impact the park closing may have on the displaced residents and the park owner. At the time of, and in the notice for, the public hearing, displaced residents must be informed that they may be eligible for payments from the Minnesota manufactured home relocation trust fund under M.S. § 462A.35 as compensation for reasonable relocation costs. The City Council may also require that other parties, including the City, but excluding the park owner or its purchaser, involved in the park closing provide additional compensation to residents to mitigate the adverse financial impact of the park closing upon the residents. At the public hearing, the City Council will determine if any ordinance was in effect on May 26, 2007, that would provide compensation to displaced residents and provide this information to the third-party neutral to determine the applicable amount of compensation. HISTORY Amended by Ord. 1419 on 3/11/2024
Under Fridley Ch. 508 § 508.05, when a manufactured home park owner files a closure statement, the City Council must hold a public hearing within 90 days to examine the closure's impact on residents and the park owner. At that hearing, residents must be notified of their potential eligibility for relocation cost compensation from the Minnesota manufactured home relocation trust fund under M.S. § 462A.35. The City Council may also direct other parties—such as the City itself, but not the park owner or its purchaser—to provide additional financial compensation to residents, and it will assess whether any local ordinance in effect on May 26, 2007 entitles displaced residents to further compensation.
Plain English — not legal advice.
Park owners and operators subject to Fridley Ch. 508 § 508.05 should be aware that once a closure statement is submitted, the City Council is required to convene a public hearing within 90 days. Compliant operators typically maintain clear records of the closure timeline and cooperate with the City's review process, understanding that the hearing may result in determinations about additional compensation obligations for third parties. Notably, the provision explicitly excludes the park owner and its purchaser from being required to provide supplemental compensation beyond what other applicable rules may separately impose.
