March 25, 1996, for review and approval. At that time, the list was approved. The list was recently
updated to reflect the addition of different window/glass sizes due to the remodeling that took place
at Glendale Homes, and the addition of mini-blinds that have now been installed at all three of the
developments. Due to these recent updates, the Commission was asked to review the list and
make recommendations to staff. No changes or alterations were recommended to the charge list.

of breed. Commission asked how staff would be able to ensure that pets are kept current on the
required inoculations. Staff reported that tenants are recertified annually and would be required to
show proof of compliance at that time. Commission requested that an item be added to the section
of the Pet Policy that covers"Denied Registration"to include that the Housing Authority will have sole
discretion over what a reasonable number of pets would be, per household, while in public housing;
this item will be added. Motion to recommend approval to the City Attorney was made by Haran,
