Old Business:
1. Affordable Rents and Maximum Sale Prices: Vera Gil stated that staff's recommendation
is to allow sales prices to remain the same. The Committee discussed the pros and cons of this
issue in depth. There seemed to be some concensus that the BMR units needed to be affordable
in perpetuity or a system must be devised to allow a percentage of payback to the program once
the 30 year affordable rate has expired.
Jill Collins recommended that sales prices remain the same but limit the size of homes so instead
of one 3,000 square foot you might see two 1,500 square feet homes. No second of the motion
was made.
Dick Schuster made motion to accept lower prices and to continue to deliberate how to proceed
with the affordable life of units. No second of the motion was made.
Sylvia Machamer made motion to lower sale prices and allowing any projects in the pipeline to
conform to those guidelines in place when proposal/approval was submitted. Due to lack of
second, all motions died and this item will be tabled until next meeting.
