Okay, they're all three together of the H for the year 2026. I will now call for nominations for the election of the secretary, treasurer, chair prom of the HR. Uh, trustee meer. >> Uh, thank you, Mr. Chair. I elect trustee Jeff Reiner. >> We have a nomination for trustee Jeff Reiner. Are there any other nominations? Are there any other nominations?

The motion has been made and seconded. Um is there any discussion? Um Trusty Jeepson. >> Yes. Thank you, Mr. Chair. Um just a clarifying question. the chair prom in this role because I know that there was one meeting last year that Mike did not attend that as vice chair it was my assumption that I would be chairing that meeting but this chair prom which is fine I just am making sure we follow >> um protocol appropriate protocol >> really bothered me [laughter] >> to have that on your another label for yourself I I I'll be honest I was asking the same question um during things that should it just be secretary treasurer um and not the chair prom because typically my understanding is the same as yours is that when the chair is not there the vice chair steps up and and manages the meeting so I don't it got at I'm looking at the at the attorney [laughter] help me out here but I don't it was in there last year so we just left it in and I you know I did question it but then just kind of left it alone so I don't know if if uh David you have any words of wisdom on that or if we just take it off or I don't have anything to add to that. That's my understanding as well is that the vice chair will serve in the absence of the chair and then I guess ordinarily you can elect a chair prom at any point where both of those people are not available. So I guess this would just serve as a pre-approval that in the absence of both the chair and the vice chair the the uh secretary treasurer will serve as the chair prom provided there's a quorum left >> on top of all my other treasury responsibilities in [laughter] yes >> it's your favorite >> thank you um thank you Mr. Sure. I just wanted to get that clear. >> Thank you for asking that. I like I said, I did ask the same question in my own head and going, why do we have that on there? And then I went back and looked at last year's and it was on there. So I'm like, okay, it must be there for a reason. So thank you. >> All right. So with that, have we voted? Okay. [laughter] All in favor of uh secretary, treasurer, chair prom uh trustee Reiner signify by saying I. >> I opposed. Hearing none, it passes unanimously. Congratulations, Trustee Reinert. Uh we'll now move down to 2026 uh resolution 20261, establishment of certain rules and procedures and designation of public meeting notice facility and legal publication for the Ina County Housing and Redevelopment Authority for 2026. Do I have a offer of the resolution? >> You want to offer it, Mr. Chair? >> Offered by Trustee Schulty. Uh any discussion, Mr. >> Chair?

That's what we're working towards for this year. So I'm glad we are we are there. Um okay, so um any other discussion hearing? None.
