COMMISSIONER'S COMMENTS
MOTION
Roger: I move to have the Planning Office draft a resolution of
commendation for Ramona Markalunas and David White for their long
years of service.
Jasmine seconded the motion with all in favor.
Jasmine: Regarding conflict of interest: I agree with the
members of the Commission that if there is a problem that exists
in terms of a particular individual or individuals rather than
their particular occupations, part of the problem would be in
cases where there were individuals whose behavior might have been
considered questionable that the answer is really not simply to
remove those individuals because as a practical matter it is
almost impossible to do. Because let's say that people have a
suspicion of that member and there are improprieties involving
that particular member in dealing with either one particular
project or a series of projects, you really can't use that as
grounds for removing somebody from a Commission. There are a lot
of legal problems with that. The answer that you simply remove
the individuals who are a problem is not a solution either.
Michael: I have a tendency to agree with Jasmine. The year that
I have been on the Board I only remember 1 or 2 instances where
somebody on the Board has appeared before and it was kind of
innocuous. I think part of the problem is what the perception is
of the public who when they read in the paper that a member of
that Board appears before that Board on a regular basis and is
winning or is successful in his applications. Whether he is
getting special treatment or not I think you then have a problem
with how the public perceives that. With our Board, it is not a
problem.
Roger: I don't know what the solution is. I know the solution
isn't the way City Council is going at it at this point. I do
know the answer on this Board is not to put on a whole bunch of
people who don't know anything that is going on. We had better

have some people who have some experience in the legal and you
need some expertise on the Board. In the guidelines it is stated
to try to have a lawyer, an architect. This community would be
in real rough shape if none of the Boards had expertise on them.
DISPIACEMENT/AFFORDABLE HOUSING CODE AMENDMENTS
PUBLIC HEARING-CONTINUED
Welton re-opened the public hearing.
Alan: The moratorium will expire in February. This means that
the time table that I am looking at is--I hope to be finished
with P&Z by the beginning of November. I have to be to Council
in December and January.
Alan then made presentation as attached in records.
Alan, P&Z Commission members reviewed and discussed each item in
the amendments.
Members of the public who also participated were: Joe Krabacher,
Richard Neiley, sunny Vann, Jim Adamski of the Housing Authority,
Jeffrey Evans, Frank Ross and Gideon Kaufman.
A letter was presented into the record from Richara Y. Neiley,
Jr. expressing his concerns. (Attached in records)
Welton continued the public hearing until a date certain of
October 18, 1988.
Meeting was adjourned. Time was 6:45pm.
