Ms. McKeehan responded that it would not guarantee her a house but would move her to the next step. There is still the bank loan qualification process. Mayor Pico would like this placed on a future agenda but based on information provided by the City Attorney and the City Manager, this is not under the purciew of the Council to make the judgment and decision. Ms. Ayala suggested that a committee comprised of two Councilmembers and City staffmight be helpful in reviewing the matter. Councilmembers Ayala and Campbell volunteered to review Ms. Smith's application with staff. Mayor Pico informed Ms. Smith that if Councilmembers Ayala and Campbell believed this should come back to the full Council they would make that recommendation. Until then, Council will rely on the recommendation of City staff. Jack Dove, 5250 Case Avenue, S110, addressed Council regarding affordable housing for the entire community. He felt seniors and families in the community are treated fairly when looking for housing. What he is hoping to do is to address a present problem the City is currently facing, given the General Plan requirement and the recent review by the Housing Element Committee, and the State. A number of things are happening in the community and unfon~mately, a number of things have not been addressed. He strongly felt there is a lack of a cohesive community regarding affordable housing. He suggested that Council seriously consider the proposal for his plan for affordable housing. Frank AufDer Muar, 4558 Bernal Avenue, concurred with Mr. Dove's comments. There are several pieces of property which could become vacant and help meet the affordable housing requirernents. He would be willing to meet with staff and was hopeful for Council's support. Mayor Pico encouraged Mr. Dove and Mr. Auf Der Maur to talk with the Housing Commission. He mentioned that in the past, Council has tried to cut the comers of the process, be it the Foothill or the Stoneridge project, and has expedited the process to get folks qualified for credits. He relayed the Council's support and invited everyone to participate in the General Plan process.
