He also <br />clarified that he is supportive of the two year vacancy requirement and $50,000 <br />cap, but is open to further discussion. Mayor Pro Tern Maloney questioned why <br />the information regarding the Planning Staff recommending fees and rates was <br />included. Director Pierce responded that the information was included to <br />confirm that these rebates are being paid out of unrestricted general fund <br />revenue sources. Mayor Pro Tern Maloney stated the importance of knowing <br />that any rebates given out would be reducing the City's revenue. <br />Councilmember Leh echoed Mayor Pro Tern Maloney's comments and agreed <br />that Council did not provide a clear sense of direction.
