Councilmember Arkin moved for a fee of 6.4% (doubling Option 5), equating to about $137,000. Mayor Brown seconded the motion. Councilmember Testa stated her disagreement with including the manager's unit as an affordable unit because it is not available to the public and already exists. She stated they are doing a disservice to affordable housing by proposing anything less than 10%.

Ratify calendar year 2021 City Council assignments to various boards and commission and Councilmember selection City Manager Fialho stated the new Council requires the appointment of a new Councilmember, proposed by the Mayor for Council ratification. He added the Mayor selects local and regional committee assignments for presentation and ratification by the City Council. Councilmember Narum stated she has a time conflict with the Altamont Landfill Open Space Committee and requested removal. Councilmember Balch expressed his concern about attending in-person meetings for both StopWaste and the LAVWMA following the pandemic, due to their geographical distance. He volunteered to fill the Altamont Landfill Open Space Committee seat. Councilmember Narum stated her conflict precludes her from attending LAVWMA meetings. City Manager Fialho stated, because LAVWMA is a joint-powers authority, the City would need to have a second member so the City should have an alternate in the event either Councilmembers Arkin or Testa are forced to miss a meeting. Councilmember Balch agreed to remain as the City's alternate at least while StopWaste meetings are held virtually.
