5. Fee Schedule
Bell Properties proposes the following fee structure for the management of
Dune Palms Mobile Home Estates. Our pricing model is structured to provide
full operational oversight, regulatory compliance, financial transparency, and
on-site staffing necessary to properly manage a mobile home community.
All fees are clearly separated to ensure transparency and accountability.
A. On-Site Staffing (Billed at Cost)
To ensure consistent oversight, regulatory compliance, and maintenance
responsiveness, Bell Properties recommends two full -time on-site positions:
1. Full-Time On-Site Property Manager
Responsibilities include:
• Tenant relations and MRL compliance
• Rent collection and delinquency enforcement

• Inspections and documentation
• Coordination with Housing Authority staff
2. Full-Time On-Site Maintenance Technician

Page 18 of 37
• Vendor supervision
Estimated Combined Monthly Staffing Cost:
Staffing will be billed at actual cost, plus 10% for processing approximately
$11,000 month for both onsite positions. If additional staffing is needed and
approved by the housing authority, additional staff will be added. If any
backlog of work is found at project inception (bad ledgers, excessive A/P,
excessive A/R, lack of quality & complete filing, or other administrative
backlog, additional staff will be added at owners cost).
This amount includes wages, payroll taxes, workers’ compensation
insurance, and standard employee benefits. Staffing costs will be invoiced
transparently and supported with payroll documentation. Our payroll
provider is Paylocity and we provide detailed billing information that clearly
identifies the direct costs, including workers comp, benefits and payroll
taxes.
B. Management Fee
Bell Properties will provide comprehensive executive and regional oversight
services, including:
• Regional supervisory oversight
• Compliance monitoring and MRL adherence
• Vendor contract negotiation and oversight
• Policy implementation and enforcement standards
• Risk management and operational audits

Page 19 of 37
Management Fee:
$125 per unit per month
This flat per-unit fee ensures predictable monthly costs and aligns
management compensation with occupancy performance.
C. Accounting & Financial Reporting Services
Bell Properties will provide centralized accounting and financial management
services to ensure full transparency and public agency -level reporting
standards.
Services include:
• Monthly Income Statement, Balance Sheet, and General Ledger
reporting
• Rent roll and delinquency reports
• Budget-to-actual variance reporting

• Vendor payment management
• Annual budget preparation

Monthly Accounting Fee:
$2,500 per month

Page 20 of 37
D. Summary of Monthly Fees (Excluding Staffing at Cost)
• Management Fee: $125 per unit per month, based on total unit count in
the park.
• Accounting Fee: $2,500 per month
• On-Site Staffing: Billed at actual cost
• Additional staff will be added if books or records are in poor conditions,
excessive A/R or A/P, or more than 1 week of back work is found at

contract signing to ensure ownership is in agreement with our assement
for needed catch up work.
Bell Properties believes this fee structure provides the Housing Authority with:
• Cost predictability
• Transparent financial oversight
• On-site operational stability
• Compliance-driven management
• Clear separation of staffing and administrative services
This structure ensures that management oversight remains aligned with the
Authority’s operational goals while maintaining accountability and fiscal
responsibility.
For a mobile home park owned by a Housing Authority, we justify it based on:
• Regulatory exposure (MRL compliance risk)
• Infrastructure oversight complexity
• Public reporting requirements
• On-site supervision demands
• Liability management
Below is a strong justification section you can insert directly under the
Management Fee section.
Page 21 of 37
Management Fee Justification – $125 Per Unit Per Month
The proposed management fee of $125 per unit per month reflects the
operational complexity, regulatory requirements, and risk management
responsibilities associated with managing a publicly owned mobile home
community.
Dune Palms Mobile Home Estates requires a level of oversight that exceeds
traditional multifamily management due to the following factors:
1. Mobilehome Residency Law (MRL) Compliance
California’s Mobilehome Residency Law (Civil Code §798 –799.11) imposes
strict statutory notice requirements, procedural safeguards, and
documentation standards. Improper handling of notices, rent adjustments, or
enforcement actions can expose the Housing Authority to significant legal
liability.
Bell Properties’ management fee supports:
• Standardized legal -compliant notice templates
• Compliance monitoring systems
• File audits and documentation controls
• Coordination with legal counsel when required
• Risk mitigation procedures
2. Infrastructure & Utility Oversight
Unlike conventional apartment communities, mobile home parks require
oversight of:
• Utility systems
• Infrastructure and common area facilities
Page 22 of 37
• Landscaping and drainage systems
• Health and safety compliance standards
The management fee supports ongoing supervisory oversight of maintenance
operations, vendor compliance monitoring, and preventive maintenance
implementation.
3. Public Agency Reporting & Accountability
As a Housing Authority-owned asset, Dune Palms requires:
• Audit-ready financial documentation
• Transparent reporting practices
• Budget forecasting and cost controls
• Policy enforcement consistency
• Structured documentation retention
Bell Properties maintains internal controls, segregation of duties, and
reporting systems designed to meet public agency standards.
4. Executive & Regional Oversight
The $125 per unit fee includes:
• Regional Supervisor site visits
• Bi-Lingual Spanish, After hours emergency line
• On-line payment portal from Bell Properties (with free payment options
as well as more customized solutions like a walk in payment option at a
fee – the fee is 100% absorbed by the payment provider.
• Operational audits
• Policy implementation and compliance verification
• Vendor contract negotiation
• Capital planning consultation
• Performance benchmarking
Page 23 of 37
• Authority reporting and strategy meetings
This oversight ensures the on-site team operates within clearly defined
performance expectations.
5. Risk Management & Liability Reduction
Proper mobile home park management significantly reduces the Authority’s
exposure to:
• MRL violations
• Fair Housing claims
• Inconsistent enforcement allegations
• Vendor liability issues
• Documentation deficiencies
The proposed fee reflects proactive risk mitigation rather than reactive
correction.
Market Alignment
The proposed $125 per unit per month rate is competitive within the
California market for regulated or publicly owned residential communities
requiring on-site staffing, compliance oversight, and formal reporting
structures.
This flat per-unit structure provides predictable budgeting for the Authority
while aligning compensation with the operational scale of the property.
