Commissioner Barker amended page 10, paragraph 4, sentence 3, to read as follows: "She commented that the City had a chance to build a pazk in the Hacienda Business Pazk and that thirty-three acres was offered to the City for the cost of the taxes and bonds, and the City turned it down." Commissioner Barker also amended page 10, paragraph 5, sentence 2, to read as follows: "She noted her dissatisfaction with staff in that information requested in February regazding the comparative return on different types of land was not received until this evening." Ms. Varela, 3858 Mohr Avenue, asked whether the approval of minutes included review by the City Attorney's office, noting that a copy of other meetings' minutes she requested was unavailable because they were being reviewed by the City Attorney's office. Ms. Seto stated that that was probably an exception, as it is not standazd practice for minutes to be reviewed by the City Attorney's office. Ms. Varela referred to page 8, paragraph 2, sentence 1, of the minutes and commented that while some of her statements "sort of were stated this way," the meaning, as written, is different than what she intended. In response to a question by Chair Cooper, she acknowledged that she did, in fact, say that she was unhappy with the outcome of the General Plan. However, what she meant to convey is that she feels the proposed east side committee does not need a facilitator, and "we" would much rather see an elected chairperson on the committee, rather than having a facilitator. She noted that while there could be consultants on the various committees, they should be chaired by residents. She also gave an explanation as to why she is not in favor of the 80% residenU20% special interest committees, noting that the prolonged process in the past has caused many residents to drop out of - participation, thus leaving the influentia120% special interest portions of the committees steering decisions in their favor. She, therefore, feels that a different system needs to be implemented, and the residents are in support of the system proposed by Stan Erickson at the Special Meeting. She also noted for the record that the proposal presented by Mr. Erickson was formulated by a group of proponents of the referendum. In response to Chair Cooper's question asking whether she is happy with the wording of her comments in the minutes, she stated "you never really aze." Pam Albert, 1847 Harms Drive, amended page 9, pazagraph 3, sentence 8, to read as follows: "She believes that the light industrial areas that are currently designated as such in the General Plan represent existing development patterns." She also noted for the record that she does not feel it is appropriate to change that light industrial designation.
