MR. KAHUL I would like to make a comment. You know, we have a motion on the floor. I would like to get to the point of order. I think that we wanted to - - -We are in discussion, or we were in discussion on item number four with respect to the deviation. Quite frankly, all of these new amendments to the four recommendations is clouding a lot of my understanding about what we should immediately. I think maybe what we do is, obviously, there are more recommendations that this Commission wants to consider, and maybe taking a ten minute recess to outline that, get back here to attend to the point of order to the motion regarding the deviation and that amendment, and deal with that; because quite frankly, we are jumping all over the place, and it is really getting me confused. Thank you CHR. SIRACUSA: Thank you, Bo. And I agree, we are jumping all over the place. So, let's get back to the basic motion. And could someone read that for us again; just to remind us where we went off on tangent? Karen is coming forward. MS. EOFF: My understanding was that the original motion was to discuss COMM. 60, which transmits the Final Report. And then we started to address COMM. 60.3, and there was a motion to amend the four recommendations that COMM. 60.3 contained with additional recommendations. I think we have language for one of the additional recommendations, and that is to increase the deviation for each individual district to 5.99% without changing the total deviation of the plan from staying at 10 %. CHR. SIRACUSA: It was that the Commission - - -Not that it would be a standard 5.99 %, as I understand it, but that the Commission would have the leeway to, you know, if they could justify it, of course, to go an extra 1% point. MS. EOFF: The Code, right now, is clear that you don't exceed 4.99% for any one district. CHR. SIRACUSA: Right. So it would be a recommendation that that Code be changed. Is that the way everyone else here understood it? MS. EOFF: That was the one clear amendment to COMM. 60.3; would be to add that as the number. MR. UDOVIC: No greater than 5.99% for the total deviation of no greater than 10 %. MR. MELROSE: And the wording that I was trying to get into number four, was that the Council recommends that the Council consider. MS. EOFF: The Commission recommends that the Council - -- MR. MELROSE: The Commission recommends that the County Council consider revising the Ordinance to -da - -- MS. EOFF: It is now in the County Code, so we would cite the Code, Chapter 36. 13
