Oakdale, Minn., Code of Ordinances ch. 11, art. 2 § 11-16
Public Hearing
Operative Text
A public hearing shall be held before the City Council for the purpose of reviewing the closure statement and evaluating what impact the park closing may have on the displaced residents and the park owner. The City Council shall determine the adequacy of the closure statement and direct payment of relocation costs pursuant to the ordinance.
Under Oakdale Code of Ordinances ch. 11, art. 2 § 11-16, when a mobile home or recreational vehicle park is proposed for closure, the City Council must hold a public hearing to review the park owner's closure statement and assess the effects the closure would have on both the displaced residents and the park owner. Following that hearing, the City Council evaluates whether the closure statement meets the ordinance's standards and issues direction regarding the payment of relocation costs to affected residents. This process is designed to ensure that the impacts of a park closure receive formal governmental scrutiny before relocation obligations are finalized.
Plain English — not legal advice.
Park owners subject to Oakdale Code of Ordinances ch. 11, art. 2 § 11-16 are generally expected to prepare and submit a closure statement that can withstand City Council review at a public hearing. Compliant operators typically ensure their closure statement addresses the anticipated impacts on displaced residents in sufficient detail, since the City Council will formally evaluate its adequacy. The Council's determination at that hearing also governs the direction of relocation cost payments, making the completeness of the closure statement a central operational concern.
