Housing Authority Administrator Janet Moore replied the fee would remain
the same until July 2007. A review will take place early next year by way of
a tour, survey to all tenants, evaluations, and performance over time. It will
then be presented to Council for ratification, if indeed, it's recommended that

allocated.
Member Spiegel commented that it would then be enforced for an additional
year and a half if approved. Ms. Moore agreed.
