INABA: Okay and I think that's kind of the wording that is messing up that intention versus the language. Because technically right now and I spoke with Maija right before we got started. Language is being inserted into the bills that does grant the Director the ability to give these administrative extensions so, one of the recommendations on language change on this bill before us would be to remove that word. Unless, specifically authorized by the Council because currently if the Department puts in that language and we approve it as is the Council is authorizing the Director to grant an administrative extensions later. So, if we were to remove that language that you referred to it would just say"extensions of time to satisfy conditions may not be allowed by the Director". That may be problematic too however, because now we're saying the Director may never grant extensions. So, that you know, the language is still being worked or another version would just be removing what's in condition(b) or Section(b) sorry, and just say language granting extensions of time by the Planning Director shall not be included in any Change of Zone ordinance. So, it's specific to what we are prohibiting. But again, I think the language has to be worked out and whether we want to hash it out here. I think the main thing is that you folks know the intention of what's before us and loved to hear from Corporation Counsel. KEKAI: Yeah, I was just going suggest an effective date. So, even though you left extensions of time to satisfy, um' may not be allowed for ordinances granted from this date forward. So that he still has the authority for what has already been granted, yeah. So, something like that basically just putting in an effective date so that we know when, we can clearly look at an ordinance and know whether the Director has administrative extension powers or not. INABA: And that's for Section 4 of Bill 194,right? KEKAI: Yep.,, INABA: Okay. Yes,I'll agree. LIN: Commissioners, any other comments, questions? If not, is there a motion for action? AGUINALDO: Mr. Chair,just to clarify again. LIN: Sure. AGUINALDO: Like what Ms. Balog indicated, on Section 1 (b), unless specifically authorized by the Council, extensions of time to satisfy conditions may not allowed by the Director. So, in the Planning standpoint what I see here is, is County Council have the authority to you know, go above our Planning Director for time extensions. Am I interpreting it correctly, its unless specifically authorized by the Council. Saying the Council is authorizing, you know, that means it's empowering our Planning Director that County Council can kind of what they got to do. How's that? Am I interpreting it correctly or wrong? 11 EXHIBIT B(DRAFT)
