3:22 pm
from the plan areas are deposited into the fund and this draft ordinance would correct two issues. the housing fund is not currently defined in the administrative code only in the planning code and typically specific program funds are defined and governed by the administrative code and that would be corrected by defining it in exactly the same way that other special funds are typically defined and secondly the so-called appropriating language is not consistent in the planning code and the jobs housing linkage fee as well as the incl u.s. ionary housing fee are called out as self appropriating but refer only to the affordable housing fund otherwise silent as to
3:23 pm
their appropriation so the larger fund to which they refer to are silent and the draft ordinance would clarify that all of these fees are self appropriating and the two fees and one fund are self appropriating and seeks to correct all of this at the request of of the controller's office and to be clear it in no way alters the allowable expenditures so mainly all of these fee revenues are restricted to use by the mayor's office of housing and community development and the mayor's 's office of community development would continue to administer the fund this language will remain and be carried over to the to the new definition in the code and would not change any fee or their uses. i'm
3:24 pm
available for any questions of course. >> thank you miss hayward. any questions or comments? we'll take public comment on items 7 and 8. anybody wish to comment on either of these items? >> [inaudible] [inaudible]. >> thank you anybody else wish to comment on either items 7 or 8? okay. seeing none public comment is closed . i'd like to entertain a motion to approve these items and send them over to the
