notification regarding the proposed project and to ensure that a program is in place to assist them
with accessibility to home buying loan programs. She stated that it was incumbent that the
renters be provided access to every source of affordable home buying.
Councilmember Rindone expressed the need to ensure that the tenants are given the necessary
assistance with procedures during the conversion process. He stated that the City must set the
standard to make sure that all people are treated well, particularly those residents who are unable
to purchase a home. He requested that staff provide a report on the efforts by the City to provide
assistance to tenants of conversion projects over and above what is offered by the management
company. Planning and Building Director Sandoval responded that staff would work together
with the Community Development Housing Division to ensure a comfortable transition for the
tenants.
Joseph Scarlatti, representing West Stone Management Company, explained the process that is
undertaken to prepare residents in conversion projects. He stated that legal notices are sent to the
tenants in accordance with state law. Public information meetings are conducted on-site with the
tenants, followed by a second meeting as the proj ect moves closer to the mapping process, with
marketing and financing representatives on-site to discuss the various programs. He stated that
those tenants who are unable to purchase homes are generally given the last month rent-free and
an early return of their deposit fee. He added that the management company works to provide
the tenants with as many options as possible, including a 90-day exclusive right to buy at a
preferred price from the posted price.
Deputy Mayor Salas asked what construction defect warranties would be provided to the new
homeowners. Mr. Scarlatti replied that most developers offer a two-year warranty on homes.
Deputy Mayor Salas also asked if mortgage companies other than those offered by the developer
are provided the opportunity to offer competitive rates and options to the home buyer. Mr.
Scarlatti responded that the marketing companies for the developer use multiple banks and
institutions and brokers who have access to the majority oflenders.

I replaced, which resulted in numerous leaks; and he expressed the need to be cautious about the
expansion and contraction of hot water lines beneath concrete floors in the units. Mr. Scarlatti
responded that if the developer determined that the plumbing was questionable, it would be
pulled out and run through the roof in order to comply with the 20-year life expectancy required

Mayor Padilla opened the public hearing.
Planning and Building Director Sandoval stated that fees in the Planning Division have not been
! adjusted since 1992. He explained that (1) by making more applications deposit-based, the
department would have the ability to capture the true cost of doing business; (2) increasing some
fees would ensure alignment with the services being provided; (3) a three percent records
management fee would provide the ability to track projects and store them as permanent records;
and (4) a conditional use permit inspection fee upon completion of projects, with a follow-up
inspection, would ensure compliance by the developers.
