B R 1 G G 5 A�o M O R G A ftil <br />March 4, 2009 <br />Page 2 <br />charged. Therefore a literal interpretation of the statute defeats its goal of making housing <br />affordable to all. <br />At any rate, whether we consider policy or solely the text of the statute, the Centennial <br />Gardens Project was still out of compliance for some portion of the units as acknowledged in Mr. <br />Jones's letter. We suggest evaluating Gardens East Partnership's original quantification of its <br />noncompliance as approximately $1,700. That way, the Council will have applied the more <br />cautious standard in determining whether or not the noncompliance was insubstantial and, if a <br />court ever determined that it is incorrect to exclude amounts paid under the Section 8 voucher <br />program from the determination of rent, the Council would not have to reevaluate a finding of <br />insubstantiality. <br />Sincerely, <br />t <br />����1 <br />Mary L.
