- Vote was taken on the amendment which carried unanimously. \ Mr. Obie suggested passing the main motion and at the same time expressing the urgency involved in having feedback from the Joint Housing Committee, and also in having some resolution or recommendations from staff on whether to deal with individual units or buildings as a whole. Mr. Delay said that on the question of the appeals process, he feels the general notion of hardship adequately handles it. He said that staff should move with good speed in coming back with the draft of the ordinance. Mayor Keller said he feels that it will be necessary to define what the crisis really is and, if the criteria for a moratorium would weigh heavily on that definition. As he understands the conversion, it appears that all 180 units will be affected, yet there exists an obligation to provide alternative housing. He said he wants to make certain Council knows why they are asking for information on a moratorium. Ms. Smith clarified that this motion directs staff to prepare an ordinance and that it does not establish a moratorium today. November 26 appeared to be the best time for bringing an ordinance draft back, since the Joint Housing Committee meets November 20. Mr. Delay said his motion would not include referring the matter to the Joint Housing Committee. Mr. Long said that if Council wants staff to check with other jurisdictions and do a generally complete job, it will double or triple the time involved. Mr. Obie also agreed to not refer the matter to the Joint Housing Committee. If interested, they can appear at the Council -- meeting and testify, he said. He continued that he would hope Council is not recommending a potential abolition of conversions, but rather that there is simply a need to deal carefully with a situation affecting many elderly people. Manager suggested that the ordinance draft be brought back Wednesday, November 14. Ms. Miller said she felt that would be the best time because elderly people would probably prefer coming to a day-time meeting. Vote was taken on the main motion which carried unanimously. V.
