11 P R O C E E D I N G S:
MAYOR SPECTOR: We are now on to public
hearings. This one hearing has been continued from many
41 meetings in August and one in September. This is agenda
51 item five, Architecture and Site Application S13090 and
6 Vesting Tentative Map Application M13014.
For Staff and Council's direction, the way I
8 would be prepared to go forward tonight is start with
9 the Staff Report, if there is a Staff Report, and then
10 go to questions of Staff, if there are questions of
Ll Staff. And then after we get through that, we'll go to
page two of Staff's report.
And so does Staff have a report this evening?
JOEL PAULSON: Very briefly. Before you this
evening is a Resolution implementing the action that was
taken at your meeting on.September 1st. The Resolution
includes findings. There also additional -- some
additional information in the Staff Report that the
Council may wish to consider as they discuss the
Resolution.
And additionally, and finally, Council Member
Jensen provided Staff with some grammatical
modifications to the item, and I do actually have a copy
of those, which I will pass out as you begin your
discussions.

1 MAYOR SPECTOR: Thank you. Now, questions of
2 Staff. I'll start with one that I asked Mr. Schultz
3 earlier this evening.
4 The -- a Resolution normally has many
5 components, many sentences, many provisions. If the
6 Resolution were challenged in court and one provision or
7 a part of a provision were found invalid, would that
8 invalidate the Resolution?
9 MR. SCHULTZ: No, that would not.
10 MAYOR SPECTOR: And then going to your
11 Resolution, which I'm going to have to find here, on
12 page one of the Resolution, you make -- reference is
13 made in the second "whereas" to an EIR that was
14 prepared, and on January 20th, 2015, the Town Council
15 certified the North 40 Specific Plan in compliance with
16 CEQA.
17 What I don't recall, and I was not able to find
18 online today, was whether or not that EIR was certified
19 or if there was some other verb used.
20 JOEL PAULSON: The EIR was certified on that
21 date.
22 MAYOR SPECTOR: Thank you. And then on page
23 two of the proposed Resolution, in the second paragraph
24 at the top, it talks about March 18th, references the
25 Applicant as Grosvenor USA Limited. Is that accurate in
4
TRANSCRIPTION 9/06/16 TOWN COUNCIL MEETING --

1 terms of is that the only entity, or are -- should there
2 be more entities there?
3 JOEL PAULSON: We can additionally add Summer
4 Hill and Eden for consistency.
5 MAYOR SPECTOR: Well, I wouldn't -- my question
6 is not consistency. My question is what was the entity,
7 or what were the entities, that submitted the
8 applications on March 18th, 2016?
9 JOEL PAULSON: The entities were the -- were
10 Grosvenor, Summer Hill, Eden, as well as Hirschman at
11 that time as well.
L2 MAYOR SPECTOR: Okay. So to make this
L3 accurate, should those all be in there?
L4 JOEL PAULSON: Yes.
L5 MAYOR SPECTOR: I see Mr. Schultz nodding in
L6 the affirmative.
_7 And then on page four, the second "whereas," it
.8 talks about the Council continue this matter to
.9 September 1st, two -- 2016, and then says, "The Council
!0 continued its deliberation." That's accurate, but it
1 doesn't make reference to a motion and being approved or
2 a decision having been made on September 1st. Was that
3 unintentional, and if -- or is it intentional, and if
so, why?
MR. SCHULTZ: It was not intentional. And we
5
TRANSCRIPTION 9/06/16 TOWN COUNCIL MEETING

Services, 3:9-
i
1 could add something in there to the fact that on that
2 date the motion was could made -- was made, and so we
3 could add that information that's in the Staff Report on
4 the exact motion that was made.
5 MAYOR SPECTOR: Thank you. All right. Those
6 are all my questions.
7 So before we go to the next phase of this, does
8 any other person have questions? Ms. Jensen.
9 COUNCIL MEMBER JENSEN: So a couple of you --
10 thank you to the Staff. I did do some editing along the
11 lines of the Mayor, but the Mayor did mention with
12 respect to the paragraph, which I didn't include,
13 regarding the September 1st meeting, I did ask, and it
14 was included in the draft that was distributed, the
15 actual motion and vote of the Planning Commission, and
16 it seems like that should be included, the actual motion
17 and vote of the Town Council, as the Mayor just
18 indicated. I had given the paragraphs different
19 numbers, but -- in the part that the Mayor was talking
20 about.
21 And then I had a more generalized question for
22 Mr. Schultz. And the question is I understand that the
23 Resolution reflects all the actions of all of the bodies
24 that have considered this. My question is legally
25 should the -- does the Resolution need to reflect what

1 actually occurred with respect to the motion that was
2 made for the denial or, as the Staff Report is
3 indicating, can the Town Council include other things
4
that weren't necessarily part
of that motion,
including
5
those things suggested in the
Staff Report and
those
6
things suggested by the lawyer
for Ms. Barbara
Dodson,
7 because we have two Dodsons involved, that is suggesting
8 additional findings that weren't part of the actual
9 motions made?
MR. SCHULTZ: So I think I -- I think the
suggestion by the Mayor is an excellent suggestion on
putting in the exact motion after that next to the last
"whereas" as to the exact motion and vote that occurred
at your Council meeting on September 6th, so that's
reflected in'the Resolution.
And then the Resolution, we were directed to
bring back those findings in support of that Resolution,
and so that's .what we've done, we've provided you with
findings that we felt reflected the motion that was made
and the evidence presented. Certainly if there's items
in here that you don't agree with that should not be
part of the Resolution, they can be extracted out, or if
there's additional findings that were not reflected that
were part of the record in evidence, they could be added
in, because we're now finalizing that motion into the
7

Ser*- 1 13 5
1 Resolution, which has the findings with it.
2 MAYOR SPECTOR: Ms. Jensen.
3 COUNCIL MEMBER JENSEN: Sorry, just a follow
4 up. I'm not sure my question got answered, which is if
5 something was not part of the motion made, I understand
6 the first part of your answer, which is the Resolution
7 should, just suggesting, be changed to reflect the
8 actual motion, that's fine, but I'm trying to understand
9 if there's a -- so, for example, the things that are
10 suggested in the Staff Report or the findings are part
11 of the record, but were not included in the motion, so I
12 could see where they're part of the record, but what's
13 the basis for including them in the motion, number one?
14 And number two, if there's an independent
15 submission of suggested findings as we got from the
16 Council for, I'm going to again say Ms. Dodson, because
17 that's how it's identified, what's the basis, if any,
18 for that to be included in the motion, or would that
191 just be an independent submission that becomes part of
201 the record?
21 MR. SCHULTZ: Well, it certainly is part of the
22 record, so it's an independent submission that would be
23 part of the record,, but again, the Resolution is in
24 front of you now, so Council can add or subtract
25 anything from it. Even though the motion was made at

I your last meeting, it's back in front of you for final

3 And so that final action can be made by a

5 if it was or was not included in the original motion.
6 COUNCIL MEMBER JENSEN: Okay. And just to beat
71 a dead horse.
8 MAYOR SPECTOR: Ms. Jensen.
9 COUNCIL MEMBER JENSEN: So I understand, the
0 Resolution can say something independent of what was
1 said at the hearing in support of the motion on
2 September 1st?
3 MR. SCHULTZ: Yes. The findings are hack in
front of you.
COUNCIL MEMBER JENSEN: Okay.
MAYOR SPECTOR: All right. Let me see if I
have any other questions. I don't, but before I go on
to our next step, does any other Council Member have
questions of Staff? Seeing none, we're going to go to
page two, which sort of dovetails with questions that
were asked by Ms. Jensen.
We're going to go to page two, but before we do
that, clarification. We have the red line version from
Ms. Jensen. We just got it a few minutes ago. Question

understanding, items that you are requesting, or it is
I
requested that we include in our Resolution?
MR. SCHULTZ: Yes. All of the red lines that
we reviewed, Staff reviewed, did not in any way, in our
minds, change the substantive part of it. They were
just word changes, for example, calling Planning
Commission "their" findings instead of "its" findings.
It had to do with calling it a "revised" application
instead of an "updated." So they were -- in our minds
they were not substantial changes, just -- just
technical changes.
MAYOR SPECTOR: All right. Thank you.
COUNCIL MEMBER JENSEN: May I just say, as the
person who made those, that I was just intending for
those to be technical changes. So, for example,
Planning Commission is an "it," it's not a "their." And
I asked that the cites to the Specific Plan be fully
written out versus being an abbreviation. There were no
substantial changes to any part of the Resolution.
MAYOR SPECTOR: Thank you. Other questions of
Staff? All right. Seeing none, hearing none, let's- -
I'm going to ask you to go to the second page of the
Staff Report.
The way that I'm going to ask Council to
proceed, these are items that Staff has suggested we may
10
TRANSCRIPTION 9/06/16 TOWN COUNCIL MEETING
K
Advantage An Reporting

want to consider to add to the -- to add to the
2 Resolution, and so I'm going to have us start at number
3 one, which is the residential components. And I'll just
4 go to number one and then ask if any member of the
5 Council wants to make a motion to include any of this.
6 Ms. Jensen.
7 COUNCIL MEMBER JENSEN: Just a procedural
8 matter. Page two, it's my understanding, and I would
9 ask the Staff if my understanding is correct, that the
LO items one, two, three, four, five, six, seven on page
Ll two, those reflect the motion that was made, so they're
L2 already included -
L3 MR. SCHULTZ: And --
COUNCIL MEMBER JENSEN: -- and on item -- the
items that are suggested to be included, but weren't
part of motion begin on page three; is that correct?
MAYOR SPECTOR: This is absolutely correct,
thank you.
So I
want
to
ask
Council
to
turn to
page three,
and
these
are
the
items
that
Staff is
asking
us, or suggesting that we may want to consider, and so I
will go through each one, beginning at number one. And,
again, the Council may want or not want to add any of
this.
So starting with I guess it's A, does any
member of the Council want to do a Resolution on this

paragraph A?
And then I had a question on this. The
substance of this is generally adding the planning --
adding other elements of the Planning Commission's
decision. A question of Staff. Isn't that already
included on page three of the draft Resolution? And the
answer to that is?
A VOICE: Yes.
MAYOR SPECTOR: Okay. All right. So I'm
saying we can skip that one, 'cause it's already there.
Ms. Jensen.
'COUNCIL MEMBER JENSEN: This isn't a motion,
it's an observation or a remark to the Staff or the
Council.
It strikes me that everything that is on page
three is part of our record and minutes, and so I'm
wondering why we would include that in a Resolution
since the Resolution indicates that the motion and the
decision of the Council is based upon the entire record.
MR. SCHULTZ: So certainly you can do that. We
just wanted to make certain we tried to capture
everything. And during your deliberations and during
the motion there were certain parts where these
discussions were made, so we were trying to, since last
Thursday, which was one working day, and today try to
12

L
C
1 get you as much information as possible.
2 And a good example of this is during that
3 motion period I remember Council Member Leonardis
4 talking about the below market price program and that he
5 didn't believe it was in -- in -- and so we weren't
6 certain whether that was part of the motion. It was
7 difficult to interpret. And so that's why we've just
8 given you this sheet to consider. And if Council's fine
9 with the fact that all of the evidence that was
LO presented as part of your decision making, then the
L1 Resolution's fine, and you can vote on it now, or if
L2 there's certain specific items that you felt were very
L3 important and wanted to point those out, that you could
L4 still add those to the Resolution.
_5 So that was our thought process.
.6 MAYOR SPECTOR: Mr. Rennie.
.7 COUNCIL MEMBER RENNIE: Thank you, Mayor
.8 Spector. Process question. I would expect, before we
.9 get into kind of the sausage making of this, we would
0 have had public testimony. Is there no public testimony
;11 on this item?
MAYOR SPECTOR: The public testimony on this
item was started and completed in August.
COUNCIL MEMBER RENNIE: Okay, thank you.
MAYOR SPECTOR: We do not reopen.

COUNCIL MEMBER RENNIE: Thank you.
2
MAYOR SPECTOR: All right. Now, I will follow
CO
3
up. I see that there's no one who wants to do anything
4
with regard to a motion related to paragraph A.
5
Paragraph B is the Mayor's two motions from
6
August 16th and the bases for those motions, which
7
raises an issue. Much of what I had in those motions,
8
almost all of what I had in those motions is actually
9
contained in the Resolution, however, there are two
10
items that are not, so I'm going to ask Staff. Are you
11
suggesting, or is it appropriate for me to, once again,
12
raise those issues, or are they part of the Resolution,
13
so to speak, just because they're part of the record?
14
MR. SCHULTZ: They are part of the record. And
15
it was the basis of your decision to deny it. But
16
again, if you feel, that there is a need to spell that
17
language out in your findings for approval by the entire
18
Council, then you can do that.
19
And I'm not sure what the two issues were,
20
that's why we left it a little bit generic, so you
21
could, if there's certain findings that you want to
22
specifically put in the Resolution that has a majority
23
Council's approval, then we can do that.
24
MAYOR SPECTOR: Are you making a recommendation
25
one way or the other?
14

1
MR. SCHULTZ: No, I'm not.
2
MAYOR SPECTOR: All right. Ms. Jensen.
3
COUNCIL MEMBER JENSEN: This is what happens
4
when you
get lawyers playing with this stuff. My
5
question
is not with respect to the Mayor's August 16th
6
motions,
which she actually specifically included in, I
7
believe,
her support for the motion to deny on
8
September
1st, so it's absolutely part of the record,
9
but with
respect to anything further on those motions or
10
any other
motion that suffered the same fate, because
11
there were
a couple of them, that were motions that were
L2
made and
then failed for lack of a second, what weight,
L3
or do we
care if there's any weight, just as long as
L4
those are
in the record?
L5 MR. SCHULTZ: Certainly from a judge's
L6 standpoint, the first thing he'll turn to is your
L7 Resolution and see what the exact findings would be, so
.8 they do carry great weight. What's listed in your
_9 Resolution is where - -.if in fact this goes to
!0 litigation, that'll be the first place. But certainly
'.1 the evidence and the record supports your decision and
!2 the findings that you made.
!3 MAYOR SPECTOR: Ms. Jensen.
4 COUNCIL MEMBER JENSEN: Just a follow up. So
5 if that is true, then I'm just wondering legally what
15
TRANSCRIPTION 9/06/16 TOWN COUNCIL MEETING
W t
Advantage 11 Reporting
Services, LLC
11 would be the basis of including in the Resolution two
motions that didn't get a second? Because why wouldn't
you just include all the motions? I'm just trying to
understand this from a legal --
5 MR. SCHULTZ: So we --
6 COUNCIL MEMBER JENSEN: -- standpoint.
7 MR. SCHULTZ: So, again, from a Thursday to a
8 Tuesday, it wouldn't be this language, "the Mayor's two
9 motions," it would have to specifically say what you
10 were going to include from them.
11 Just for example, I'll give another example.
12 You know, Council Member's Rennie's motion failed also,
13 but he had certain things in the project that he felt
14 were very important be changed about the project. That
15 could be maybe something that he wants that support a
16 denial because of those architectural features weren't
17 the same, even though his motion was denied.
18 But no, I don't think we could put the language,
19 "the Mayor's two motions" as a -- as complete as that.
20 It was more of a placeholder to say was there anything
21 in those motions that's not spelled out that you'd like
22 to see if there's support to put in the.
23 MAYOR SPECTOR: That could be consistent with
2
2E
i
all f04
the denial of the application. All right. Thank you.

1 a motion. With regard to Staff's B, the Mayor's two
2 motions from August 16th and the basis -- bases for
3 those motions, as I said, I want to go -- when I went
4 through the Resolution, just about everything was in
5 there, but what was not in there were some statistics,
6 and I'm going to move to include the following
7 statistics in the Resolution: That the only promised
8 below market rate housing is the 40 -- are the 49 units
9 above market hall. The remainder are 900,000 to one and
10 a half million requiring a 20 percent down payment and
11 income of approximately 130,000 to $200,000 per year.
12 Do I have a second?
13 COUNCIL MEMBER JENSEN: I have a question.
L4 MAYOR SPECTOR: Okay. All right. We don't
L5 have a second yet; but --
L6 COUNCIL MEMBER JENSEN: May I ask a question
L7 with respect to the motion?
L8 MAYOR SPECTOR: Certainly.
.9 COUNCIL MEMBER JENSEN: Mayor made. two motions
?0 on August 16th. The statistics that you're referring to
?1 were from the first motion that I'm going to call
'.2 essentially an architectural motion, and that you're
!3 limiting your motion to that language from that first

COUNCIL MEMBER JENSEN: Thank you.
MAYOR SPECTOR: All right. We have a motion
Do. We have a second? Mr. Leonardis.
COUNCIL MEMBER LEONARDIS: I have a question.
Again, it gets back to this entirety of the record,
'cause my reasons for voting the way I did that evening
were based on many comments that I had made; C, F, H, I,
J, and K, but those were kind of part of the entire
record. So if this Resolution considers the entire
record ever since I've been on the Council, which is
what I was hoping, do I need to reiterate or re -- how
can I say it? Re -adopt any of it? I think you
mentioned earlier, can you clarify one more time,
please.
MR. SCHULTZ: No, you don't -- you do not if
you do not desire that. But again, if there's something
that you feel needs to be put in the findings because it
was very important to the Council's majority, then we
can -- we can add that to it.
COUNCIL MEMBER LEONARDIS: Thank you.
MAYOR SPECTOR: All right. So I did have a
motion, I don't have a second yet, but to follow up on
what - what Staff just said, the reason that I am

taking this component of my motion, old motion, and
making it a new motion, is because it is not in the
Resolution and should any court look to our Resolution,
our record, they are will look to the Resolution first.
Do I have a second? Ms. Sayoc.
COUNCIL MEMBER SAYOC: So I second that motion
with the -- that specific statistic.
MAYOR SPECTOR: All right. Further discussion?

Mr—Rennie.
10
COUNCIL MEMBER
RENNIE:
So I think I have a
11
question on that. What
I heard was 49 below market
12
units and some number of
$900,000
units, but I thought
L3
there was one medium income
unit
that was for a manager
L4
or something that didn't
fall in
the statistics you just
L5
mentioned.
L6 MAYOR SPECTOR: That is correct. And if --
L7 well, I'm just going to leave it go at that. That is
_8 correct. Further discussion? Ms. Jensen.
.9 COUNCIL MEMBER JENSEN: I'm not going to be
'.0 supporting the motion, or frankly any motion that's on
!I page three, to include specific items, because I think
'2 that we are better served by relying on the record of
3 the entire proceedings in any kind of litigation, so I
4 would not want to call out one versus another and allow
5 the court to look at them all.

1 MAYOR SPECTOR: Further discussion? And the
2 reason, going back to what Mr. Schultz said, we have a
3 voluminous record, and that goes back to 2010, and
4 especially voluminous in the last couple of years, and
5 so what I am looking for and what other Council Members
6 may want-to look for is there .anything on this list on
7 page three that they would like included in the
8 Resolution, which the court could very well look at
9 before it looks at any of the other pieces of paper in
10 our file.
11 Further discussion? Mr. Leonardis.
12 COUNCIL MEMBER LEONARDIS: With those comments
13 mentioned, your last comments, I mean, if they're going
14 to do a pecking order in court as opposed to what
15 Council Member Jensen has said, the entire record, and f
16 let them decide, obviously it would be perhaps prudent
17 to highlight some items, but I am hesitant to do so
18 because of what Council Member Jensen said. I think the
19 entire record needs to be considered.
20 MAYOR SPECTOR: And following up on that, going
21 back to Staff, the Staff is not saying that the court
22 would not look at the entire record even if they looked
23 at the Resolution predominantly or first.
24 MR. SCHULTZ: That is correct.

to do it by show of hands. All in favor? Opposed? The
motion passes three -two, Ms. Jensen and Mr. Rennie
opposed.
Continuing on with Staff's page three, we are
now on C. Does anybody want to make a motion with
7 regard to C?
8 Seeing no one, does anyone want to make a
9 motion with regard to D? Ms. Jensen.
10 COUNCIL MEMBER JENSEN: I do. I am the person
11 that mentioned the median price of the house. I said
12 956, and I've got my little paper with my writing on it
13 that says 956, so the 965 is actually wrong. Unless I
14 said it completely wrong for the record, but I don't
15 think I did.
16 MAYOR SPECTOR: I guess I'm -- is there a
17 motion to make a -- to say the median price of a home is
18 956,000?
19 . COUNCIL MEMBER JENSEN: No, I just wanted to
20 make sure that if anyone was considering it, that the
?1 right number was in there, that what's in there now is
?2 incorrect.
?3 MAYOR SPECTOR: All right, thank you. So now
?4 we're on E. Anybody want to make a motion with regard
?5 to E?

8 And then I had a question, it isn't on this
9 list, but as I was going through this list, I was
10 comparing it to items that were actually already in the
11 proposed Resolution, and what I did not find in the
12 proposed Resolution was any reference to AB2222. Was
13 that -- and it was something that was discussed and
14 material sent to us by community members and maybe even
15 lawyers, I don't remember, was that something that was
16 intentionally omitted or what?
17 MR. SCHULTZ: No. We just -- we just didn't
18 hear during the actual motion, hearing in your
19 deliberations as a reason to deny the project.
20 MAYOR SPECTOR:. Okay. Ms. Sayoc.
21 Council MEMBER SAYOC: Could you just remind me
22 what AB2222 was.
23 MAYOR SPECTOR: I could if I went through my
24 paperwork here. It has -- well, I'm going to ask Staff.

below -- for potentially below market rate housing
pre- existing?
MR. SCHULTZ: I'm sorry, I thought it was the
one on the by right that was doing, so no, 2222 was the
revisions that were undergoing for the size and type of
the replacement. So it is kind of in there if you had
found, but you're not including that one in there on
your -- it doesn't comply with the density bonus. That
was one of your ones --
MAYOR SPECTOR: That nobody picked up on.
MR. SCHULTZ: Exactly.
MAYOR SPECTOR: All right. Further questions
on that? Seeing no one, I am now going to take us back
to the Resolution, which is Attachment 40. We've had
some minor changes. We've had one motion. We've had
red lining. And so at this point, Staff -- I will get
to Mr. Rennie in a second. Is Staff looking for
adoption of the Resolution or not?
MR. SCHULTZ: Yes.
MAYOR SPECTOR: Okay. Mr. Rennie.
COUNCIL MEMBER RENNIE: Thank you, Mayor
Spector. My question is can I add things that weren't
on your list, A through F, or whatever it was? Or
request to add?
MAYOR SPECTOR: Thank you for reminding me. My

1 list here of things I'm supposed to pay attention to
2 that I wrote for myself actually had this as the next
3 item.
4 So does anybody have any other items that were
5 not included on page three of Staff's report?
6 Mr. Rennie.
7 COUNCIL MEMBER RENNIE: If I could start with a
8 question of Staff. I'm assuming that if there's any
9 kind of -- if there's litigation and we have some kind
10 of -- what's the right term? Agreement, settlement,
11 will things that are in the motion have weight towards
12 an agreement? Will those be - help to be considered in
13 an agreement?
14 MR. SCHULTZ.: No.
15 COUNCIL MEMBER RENNIE :. Okay, thank you.
16 MAYOR SPECTOR: Other questions of Staff? Or
17 does anybody have any motions that were not listed,
18 again, on Staff's page three? Seeing no one, we now
19 have the Resolution before us, Attachment 40.
20 Do we have a motion? Ms. Jensen.
21 COUNCIL MEMBER JENSEN: I move that we adopt
22 the Resolution that's contained in Attachment 40,
23 however, I would like us to adopt the red line version
24 with the corrected language that does not substantively
25 change the Resolution that was distributed tonight, and

to include the statistics that the Mayor cited with
respect to housing and housing costs.
MR. SCHULTZ: There -- just to clean up, there
were two other little items that were brought up, and
that was adding the Summer Hill, Hirschman as
applicants, and then also placing the entire motion that
was done by Council at the previous meeting.
COUNCIL MEMBER JENSEN: Correct. To add to
that paragraph that lists -- that lists only Grosvenor
L as having submitted the plan in March of -- the year I
L forget -- and also to reflect the motion made in the --
the complete motion and the vote of Council on that
motion that was done with the Planning Commission.
MAYOR SPECTOR: All right. We have a motion.
I'm going to give a tentative second, but I am going to
give myself and other Council Members a minute
literally, so this is not a break, a minute literally,
to look through red lined Attachment 40 before we take a
vote on this motion. So one minute.
I don't want to disturb Mr. Leonardis, who
looks like he's still completing, but I do have
questions of Staff. On page three, there are, about
two - thirds of the way down, one of the additions is a
reference to architecture and site character goals and
policies, section 3.1. I don't know if this is from the

maker of the motion's motion or if this is something
that was just added. I just -- was this from
Ms. Sayoc's motion?
MR. SCHULTZ: Yes, it was. And so in her
motion, it only mentioned policy DG6, which is very
difficult to find if it's just DG6, so we put in the
section that that actual is, and that's the same with up
above, where it was open space policy 01 she stated, but
we added in exactly where you can find that, which is
2.53, open space goals and policies.
MAYOR SPECTOR: And is that the same with
regard to page five, little D?
MR. SCHULTZ: Yes.
MAYOR SPECTOR: All right. I have no further
questions. Seeing no other questions, we have a motion,
and I am seconding it. Discussion?
Seeing none, by a show of hands, we have a
motion to approve the Resolution. All in favor raise
your hand. Opposed? Motion passed five -zero.
Anything else needed by Staff?
JOEL PAULSON: No, thank you.
MAYOR SPECTOR: Okay. I think that's it.
Motion -- motion's adjourned, yes. Meeting's adjourned.
