Ms. Dennis commented that the preference system can be modified as much as necessary, but it will not solve the problem until the housing is made available. Mayor Tarver did not think there would ever be enou~a housing, so it was important m have a program to allocate what is available. His only objection to the staff recommendation was that points should be given cumulatively for specific categories such as single parents. handicapped, long-term residents, etc. Mr. Bocian indicated the desire was to have an even playing field and there was concern on the part of long-term residents that they would lose out to a person who had made a choice to be a single parent, for example. There was a lot of debate on this. Ms. Ayala pointed out that the Housing Commission had agreed with the staff recommendation and did not want to overturn its recommendation. Ms. Dennis addressed the longevity issue and said it was not central to the crafting of the low income housing fee. The idea was to provide housing for people who work in the city. It was moved by Ms. Dennis, seconded by Ms. Ayala, to adopt Resolution No. 00-100, modifying the City preference policy for affordable housing projects by: a) amending Section 4 to create a new bonus point for households which have lived in Pleasanton for seven years or longer and establishing a maximum of one possible bonus point; and b) adding a new section which includes definitions for "Pleasanton resident" and "Pleasanton employee".
