DRAFT – SUBJECT TO REVIEW AND REVISION<br />

Director Miller also asked if the tenants who decide to remain as tenants will be eligible<br />

to remain under rent stabilization.<br />

Ms. Roy explained that the existing tenants will have the option to stay as rental tenants<br />

or have the option to purchase their property at an affordability level that is set by HCR,<br />

therefore, they will be maintained as affordable units in either home ownership or rental.<br />

Ms. Roy added that the standard rent stabilization will not apply because they will be<br />

considered affordable units that will be administered by HCR.<br />

Further discussion was had regarding the effects of the privatization on the Island House<br />

tenants going forward.<br />

A brief discussion was also had with regard to the effects of the expiration of the<br />

Mitchell-Lama program in general.<br />

There being no further questions or comments, and upon motion duly made and<br />

seconded, the following resolution was adopted (It was noted for the record that Director<br />

Miller abstained with regard to the vote on the following resolution.):<br />
