An initiative that would establish rent control and offer ownership of condo conversions at El Dorado Mobile Estates will go before Fillmore voters in a special election Nov. 3. At an emotional City Council meeting earlier this month in which several members of the public denounced the Fair Rent and Homeownership Initiative, the council again rejected a request by the measure’s proponents to adopt it as a city ordinance. Instead, the council voted unanimously to place the measure on the ballot.
