PUBLIC COMMENT
WALTER STOCKMAN, Wes Development, advised that at the last meeting there was
discussion regarding bridging the gap between what is allowed under the law in the affordable
housing allowance. He and staff have agreed to a solution to share in the gap and work Out
implementation of the agreement. In the process of working through the implementation, a
better idea was struck which would re-categorize the two- or three-bedroom house as a three-
or four- bedroom house by converting the living room to a bedroom by the use of a murphy bed.
The Board needs to make a determination as to whether this idea is considered implementation
or a change in the agreement and if it's considered a change, then the matter would need to be
agendized.
Ms. Honeywell, Agency Counsel, stated that because this issue was not on this agenda, it would
have to be scheduled on the next agenda because Council is not authorized to discuss this matter
other than directing staff to research it and place it on the next agenda.
Chairman Pena asked if it could be added to the agenda as an emergency item.
Ms. Honeywell advised if the Board technically found it to be an emergency item, they could
add it, but she expressed concern about there being no staff research or input to implement any
type of action. She suggested discussing it in closed session because it involves negotiations on
the existing contract.
Richard Crockett, La Quinta Properties, representing the low income program, commented that
approximately four weeks ago it was decided to increase the subsidy which allowed for the close
of escrow. It has now been another four weeks and it is unfair for those waiting to move in to
these homes.

The Board reconvened with Agency Counsel announcing that the Board has concluded a Closed
Session under Government Code 54956?8 concerning the added item, the Wes DDA, and has
determined not to change the format that was agreed to the last time this issue was discussed.
They do not wish to pursue the concept of a murphy bed which would create an additional
bedroom in the unit.

acceptable can be worked out. Presently, it is not economically viable to move forward with
the closing of these units and requested that staff be directed to address this issue.
