8:18counselor Caten you had your hand up

8:22Thank you through you just a question to staff

8:26when I was reading the report it seemed that

8:28The development charges in the community benefit charges were waived because they were a nonprofit in the way that it was worded

8:36And they're providing only 50% of the units is affordable

8:39I was wondering if they would still get that discount if their proposal was 100% market price based on their nonprofit status

8:46Okay

9:03Through the chair to the counselor so as a nonprofit under new legislation

9:07They are exempt from paying development charges regardless of it was nonprofit or

9:12affordable or not

9:16Thank you very much. Are there any other questions or comments on that?

9:24One would somebody be willing to put the motions on the floor counselor Galler seconded by
