make a recommendation. If thats what youre doing, you know, I want to understand that thats what youre doing as a recommendation. Just to then give a little further explanation of what would, what it means -. If there isnt a decision, if there isnt say a set decision by the Council, then on this kind of a situation the Administrator of the Housing Agency will have to use his judgment of how to read the ordinance and make that decision at the time of final subdivision approval. If they say that its in-lieu and theyre not going to pay, the Administrator will have to make a decision on whether or not the in-lieu has to be paid for properties that are transferred for less than market to a family member. But that would, I would think that, as I said, that the, I hope that thats dealt with at the Council level and a firm decision is made one way or another then. ALAMEDA:Commissioner Watanabe and then Commissioner Springer. WATANABE:Oh,Imsorry.Butasafollow-upthendoyoufeelthatthewaythe motion is worded would help to insure that the Council would take it up as a matter and not completely punt it to Housing Administrator? You see, I guess what Im saying is I have nothing against the individual there but, you know, were talking about things that will last over time, and people in positions change, and what not.

YUEN:Well, it probably would bring it more to the attention of the Council Members. As I said, I think it will be discussed at the time of Council. But as worded it does, I read it as a recommendation from the Planning Commission in favor of charging some kind of in-lieu fee to family member transfers. ALAMEDA:Commissioner Springer? SPRINGER:Does the proposed amendment, which articulation, as written or with the proposed amendment, which offers more options to the applicant, or are they the same? YUEN:I think in the end the applicant has the same options. I do think that the intent of the motion was to say that if there is a family member transfer there should be some affordable housing requirement on it. ALAMEDA:Commissioner Graham, was that the intent of the motion? GRAHAM:Sure, that was the intent. And as long as were in discussion I might just add a little bit about why I made this motion for a favorable recommendation was -. ALAMEDA:Please do. GRAHAM:And when I, before I came to this meeting, I was thinking more in terms of Commissioner Iwashitas continual returning to community development plans and all. And in this situation we have the Waimea Community very actively working on what they want to 16EXHIBIT A
