Commissioner O'Connor noted that in the first motion, Ms. McGovern did not like Option 3, and she went on to say why. He continued that Mayor Hosterman then made a new motion made which was later withdrawn; and the last motion shows Option 2 on streets and roadways. He stated that, unfortunately, after that motion was made, the Minutes did not go any further to list any clarifications to Option 2. He noted, however, that he thinks that based on her letter, her intent was it should have been Option 2, that she does not think there is any room for exceptions. Commissioner Pearce stated that she thought Ms. McGovern ultimately suggested "unless the street or road is covered by a Specific Plan or PUD, development plan approved prior to November 2008." She noted that things were crossed out and then taken out, and Mayor Hosterman then withdrew her motion to favor the substitute motion. Commissioner Pearce agreed that it does not appear that that necessarily got into the Minutes verbatim, but she interpreted this as being part of what Council agreed with and the reason why Mayor Hosterman withdrew her motion. Commissioner O'Connor noted that the first sentence of that paragraph quoted by Commissioner Pearce reads: "Councilmember McGovern stressed her concern over vesting rights within a Specific Plan..." which sounds different from the last sentence. Chair Blank inquired if these Minutes have been officially approved or if they are still Draft Minutes from the Council. Mr. Dolan replied that he believes they are approved. Commissioner O'Connor noted that they were then approved by people who were not on that Council. Mr. Dolan stated that staff got the reference to which one Ms. McGovern approved based not on what was written in the Minutes but on watching the tape. He noted that there was a dialogue back and forth between Ms. McGovern and Mr. Sullivan and City Manager Nelson Fialho. He indicated that he thinks this is where the confusion comes in. He noted that it was actually a point raised by Commissioner O'Connor and the talk about the ability to do something for the public and whether or not it is covered. He admitted that this particular issue is unclear and thinks that for the time being, the Commission should assume that Ms. McGovern did not want the exception process. He noted, however, that the Commission should decide what it thinks and recommend it to the Council. Chair Blank expressed some concern that what staff was watching on the video and what is reflected in the Minutes are two different things. He noted that his understanding is that the Minutes are the official record. He was concerned that while the Minutes were approved by a Council different from who made them, what was written in the staff report was apparently based on the video rather than on the approved Minutes. He indicated that while he absolutely trusts staffs judgment and PLANNING COMMISSION MINUTES, January 23, 2013 Page 26 of 44
