for the School District to "buy down" the school tax but not
eliminate the obligation completely, and would have no impact on

that Council is sympathetic to the residents of EastLake,
especially since the City has never before used the Mello Roos and

role with the School Districts.

e. REQUEST FOR ORDINANCE TO KEEP PROPERTY OWNERS FROM CLOSING
MOBILEHOME PARKS UNTIL REPLACEMENT SPACES ARE FOUND

her request is based on the many rumors received relative to park
closings. Mayor Cox reported that with the creation of Town
Center II Redevelopment District some land was included that have

at the concept and recognize what has to be accomplished and to
work on that.

the schedule that park owners must follow; the MHIC's chief
project is to see that the ordinance includes trailers.

requested all be addressed in one report and that staff, when
looking at areas for a possible relocation park, take the time to
explain to residents of the area what is or is not involved.

Motion passed unanimously.

Council requested an analysis of the purposes and intent of the
Controlled Growth Initiative Ordinance and preparation of a
section which, if also approved by the voters, would clarify that
intent with regard to clustering or density transfer in return for
some significant public benefit. The Assistant City Attorney

thresholds, tell the voters the City will live by them and, since
there is a growth initiative on the ballot, Council should also
place one before the voters tightened up and improved upon.
Councilman Nader reported his concerns with the proposed growth
initiative which could possibly prevent the City from controlling
growth rather than what was intended by the authors and stated he
would like to see three changes (1) removal of the section
19.81.10; (2) modification of 19.80.70, subdivision e, to
acknowledge that provision acknowledging that clustering comes
within the provisions of the subdivision; (3) a provision
requiring a vote of five members of the Council be changed to
require a unanimous vote by sitting members of the Council.
Councilman Malcolm withdrew his motion.
MOTION
MS T~der/McCandliss) to continue this item for one week to give
Councilman Nader and the City Attorney time to work out acceptable

August 9th.

Malcolm and the motion on the table, as well as the fact that a
ballot argument can be used to clarify the interpretation of Dr.
Cumming's initiative.

M (Cox) to refer the item to staff to take the concerns raised by
Councilmembers and to direct staff, specifically the Planning
Director and the City Attorney, to come back with an alternative

efforts on the Thresholds and the Growth Management Plan.
