MAY I HAVE A MOTION TO APPROVE THE MINUTES APPROVE MOVED BY [5:11] WOOTEN SECOND SECOND BY WHO CAME ANY DISCUSSION ALL IN FAVOR I MOTION PASSES 5 TO [5:20] 0 SO THE NEXT ITEM ON THE AGENDA IS 4.1 HOME IMPROVEMENT [5:28] PROGRAM UPDATE MAY WE HAVE THE STAFF REPORT [5:35] ? THANK YOU CHAIR COMMISSIONERS HERE TO MAKE SURE IS ON FIRST. [5:42] OKAY. I'M HERE TODAY TO TALK ABOUT OUR HOME IMPROVEMENT LOAN PROGRAM. OUR PROCEDURAL MANUAL WILL DO [5:49] A LIGHT UPDATE TO IT AND TALK ABOUT NEXT STEPS FOR OUR PROGRAM, SEE IF THIS WORKS OR [5:57] NOT. MAYBE TRY CLICKING ON IT OR [6:04] JUST TO YEP. NEXT SLIDE [6:14] . SO THE FIRST SLIDE IS THE BACKGROUND SLIDE THAT YOU'LL SEE IN A MINUTE. [6:19] BUT JUST TO GIVE YOU A LITTLE OVERVIEW OF THE HOME IMPROVEMENT LOAN, IT'S BASICALLY TWO PRODUCTS THAT WE [6:26] OFFER AT THE HRA, THE REHAB LOAN AS WE CALL IT. IT'S A LOAN THAT'S UP TO [6:32] $50,000. WE ALSO ALLOWED EXTRA 10,000 ON TOP OF THAT IF YOU'RE ALREADY AT THAT MAXIMUM IF YOU [6:40] NEED ACCESSIBILITY UPGRADES. SO POTENTIAL FOR 60,000 BUT WE SAY CAPPED AT 50,000 IT HAS A [6:47] SIMPLE INTEREST RATE OF 2% FOR TEN YEARS BUT THE LOAN [6:53] ACTUALLY IS NOT DUE FOR 30 YEARS SO IT ONLY INCLUDES INTEREST ON THAT FIRST TEN YEARS AND THEN IT'S REPAID EITHER AT THAT 30 YEAR MARK OR [7:01] IF SOME TRIGGERING EVENT SUCH AS YOUR PROPERTY IS SOLD IF [7:08] YOU REFINANCE AND TAKE CASH OUT IF YOU'RE NO LONGER HOME STATE, IF IT'S NO LONGER YOUR [7:13] PRIMARY PROPERTY YOU KNOW THE POINT IS NOW IT'S TRANSFERRING TITLE THEN PAYMENT IS DUE IF [7:20] YOU DO REFINANCE THERE'S AN OPPORTUNITY TO KIND OF RE [7:25] SUBORDINATED WE CALL IT AND STILL NOT HAVE TO MAKE THAT PAYMENT AS LONG AS THAT REFINANCE DOESN'T HAVE SOME SORT OF CASH OUT BECAUSE IF [7:32] YOU'RE TAKING MONEY OUT THEN YOU SHOULD BE REPAYING BACK THE LOAN. BUT IF YOU'RE LOOKING JUST FOR A SHORTER TERM LENGTH OR A [7:39] LOWER INTEREST RATE YOU KNOW WE HAD HISTORIC LOWS A FEW YEARS AGO. WE SAW A LOT OF REFINANCING [7:48] THAT OCCURRED. SO YOU'RE ABLE TO KIND OF CONTINUE WITHOUT ANY PAIN. THE OTHER PRODUCT THAT WE [7:53] OFFER IS THE HOUSING AND ENVIRONMENTAL LOAN PROGRAM MORE TRADITIONALLY CALLED THE [8:00] HELP PROGRAM. IT'S JUST EASIER TO SAY BUT THIS ONE IS STRUCTURED A LITTLE BIT DIFFERENTLY. IT'S INTENDED MORE FOR AN [8:07] EMERGENCY SITUATION OR SOMETHING THAT NEEDS AN IMMEDIATE NEED RIGHT OF WAY. THERE IS NO INTEREST ON IT. [8:14] IT IS FORGIVEN AT A RATE OF 136 PER MONTH OR BASICALLY OVER THE TERM OF THREE YEARS [8:20] SIMILAR TO THE OTHER LOAN REPAYMENT DOES GET TRIGGERED IF YOU MOVE OR IF YOU'RE DOING [8:29] A REFINANCE WITH TAKING MONEY OUT SIMILAR KIND OF TRIGGERS BUT YOU KNOW WITHIN THREE YEARS TYPICALLY YOU'RE YOU'RE [8:35] NOT DOING THOSE THINGS SO WE DON'T SEE A LOT OF THAT REQUIREMENT. BUT LIKE I SAID IT'S MEANT FOR EMERGENCY WHEREAS THE OTHER [8:44] ONE IS MORE LARGER DEFERRED MAINTENANCE THINGS SUCH AS SIDING DRIVEWAYS, LARGER PROJECTS BUT DON'T HAVE AN [8:51] IMMEDIATE HEALTH SAFETY ISSUE SUCH AS THE HELP LOAN WOULD BE ADDRESSING OR SO WE HAVE A FEW [9:02] UPDATES THAT WE'RE PROPOSING I'LL KIND OF WALK YOU THROUGH. FOR THE MOST PART NOTHING [9:08] REALLY SUBSTANTIAL OR CONTROVERSIAL BUT THE WAY THAT [9:14] WE HAVE IT STRUCTURED NOW WHEN WE DO MAKE UPDATES TO OUR PROGRAM MANUAL WE DO REQUIRE THE ATTORNEY TO VOTE ON IT AND [9:20] THAT'S SOMETHING WE'LL KIND OF TALK ABOUT IN THE LAST ITEM THERE. [9:26] SO THE FIRST ITEM IS AN INCREASE IN OUR APPLICATION FEE. CURRENTLY WE CHARGE $100 WE'D BE GOING UP TO $150. [9:32] THE REASON FOR THAT IS JUST A NEW PROCESS THAT WE'RE DOING THAT BETTER SECURES OUR LOAN [9:37] BUT IT REQUIRES AN ADDITIONAL RECORDING WITH THE COUNTY AND SO THAT COVERS THE ADDITIONAL [9:44] RECORDING FEE. WE ALSO ARE INCLUDING IN OUR ELIGIBILITY LIST WELL SEALING [9:51] WE DO HAVE SOME PROPERTIES THAT HAVE WELLS ON THEIR PROPERTY THAT MIGHT NOT BE SEALED YET. SO THIS IS A HEALTH SAFETY [9:56] THING. IT'S SOMETHING WE'RE KIND OF ALREADY DOING BUT IT DOESN'T IT'S NOT CALLED OUT [10:02] IN OUR MANUAL. SO AGAIN, MINOR UPDATE BUT WE WANT TO MAKE SURE IT'S IN THAT POLICY MANUAL. [10:10] >> AND THEN I HAD MENTIONED EARLIER THAT THE REHAB LOAN GOES UP TO $50,000 WITH THE [10:17] POTENTIAL TO GO UP TO $60,000 THE WAY IT'S WRITTEN RIGHT NOW IT SAYS $60,000. [10:23] SO IF YOU ARE READING IT, IT KIND OF IT'S A LITTLE BIT BACKWARDS AND CONVOLUTED. SO WE'LL BE MAKING UPDATES [10:30] THROUGHOUT THE MANUAL TO MAKE IT CLEAR THAT IT'S 50,000 WITH APPROVAL TO GO UP THAT EXTRA 10,000 FOR ACCESSIBILITY IMPROVEMENTS AND TALKING WITH [10:38] OUR STAFF THIS DOESN'T HAPPEN THAT OFTEN. USUALLY THE LOAN AMOUNT IS NOT [10:45] GOING TO THAT 50,000 AMOUNT BUT IT'S GOOD TO HAVE THAT ABILITY IF WE NEED IT. AND THEN WE ALSO I THINK I [10:53] CALLED IT SCREENING CRITERIA IN THE STAFF REPORT OR PROJECT SCOPING WE'VE MADE A LITTLE BIT MORE CLARITY IN PROJECTS [11:01] HOW WE'RE GOING TO SCOPE PROJECTS AND IT IT'S HOW WE'VE BEEN DOING IN PRACTICE ALREADY [11:08] BUT WE NEED TO ADDRESS THE MOST IMMEDIATE NEED FIRST. WE CAN'T BE PAINTING KITCHEN [11:15] CABINETS IF YOUR TOILETS NOT WORKING RIGHT SO WE NEED TO BE MAKING SURE THAT WE'RE ADDRESSING THE MOST IMMEDIATE [11:20] IMMEDIATE NEED WITH THE MONEY AND THEN WE ALSO NEED TO BE [11:27] ABLE TO ACCESS THE PROJECT AREA SO THIS KIND OF ACTS AS A SCREENING CRITERIA. SOMETIMES WE HAVE PEOPLE WHO [11:32] DON'T WANT TO ADDRESS THAT IMMEDIATE NEED AND DON'T ALLOW ACCESS TO THE CONTRACTOR TO [11:38] ADDRESS THAT IMMEDIATE NEED AND IF THAT IS THE CASE THEN WE WON'T MOVE FORWARD WITH THE PROJECT. SO WE NEED TO BE ABLE TO [11:44] ACCESS THE PROJECT AREA AND THEN WE ALSO HAVE TO ADDRESS IT OVER A CROWDING. [11:50] SO IN SOME CASES THAT MIGHT BE THE MOST IMMEDIATE NEED IF YOU HAVE A HOUSEHOLD THAT'S TECHNICALLY OVERCROWDED TO [11:57] MORE THAN TWO PEOPLE PER BEDROOM IS CONSIDERED OVERCROWDING. THIS RELATES BACK TO OUR FUNDING SOURCE WHICH IS [12:05] COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT BLOCK GRANT FROM THE FEDERAL GOVERNMENT. THIS IS A SEVERE HOUSING ISSUE WITH OVERCROWDING SO WE NEED TO ADDRESS THAT FIRST AND [12:12] TYPICALLY THAT MEANS A BEDROOM ADDITION OR AN EXTRA BATHROOM OR SOME SORT OF FACILITY TO ADDRESS THAT. [12:18] AND SO WE'VE HAD THAT IN SITUATION WHERE WE'LL ADD AN EXTRA BEDROOM TO ALLEVIATE THE OVERCROWDING ISSUE. [12:27] AND THEN IN THIS UPDATE WE ARE ALSO REQUESTING AUTHORIZATION TO MAKE FUTURE UPDATES SO YOU [12:35] CAN SEE SOME OF THESE ARE A LITTLE MORE SUBSTANTIVE THAN OTHERS WHERE WE'RE TALKING KIND OF SCOPING AND THIS PAST [12:42] SLIDE YOU KNOW THE MONETARY ISSUE WHERE WE'RE RAISING THE FEE, YOU KNOW THAT'S SOMETHING [12:48] WE WOULD COME BACK TO THE BOARD TO GET APPROVAL OF AND IF WE'RE CHANGING ELIGIBILITY CRITERIA FOR ANYTHING THAT HAS [12:55] A MONETARY ASPECT WE WOULD DEFINITELY BE COMING BACK TO THE BOARD FOR APPROVAL. BUT THERE ARE CERTAIN THINGS [13:01] LIKE THE $60,000 OR THAT WE'RE ALREADY KIND OF THE WELL CEILING THAT WE'RE ALREADY KIND OF DOING. [13:06] ANOTHER EXAMPLE I BROUGHT UP IS NOISE MITIGATION WHERE WHEN WE DO WINDOWS AND YOU'RE [13:13] IN THE AIRPORT SAFETY ZONE WE HAVE TO HAVE A CERTAIN LEVEL OF NOISE ATTENUATE IN THERE [13:21] AND THAT WOULD HAVE BEEN A SIMPLE THING FOR US TO UPDATE TO MAKE SURE WE'RE MEETING OUR GUIDELINES. BUT WE HAD TO WAIT FOR THE [13:28] UPDATE TO INCORPORATE THAT SO THINGS LIKE THAT THAT ARE KIND OF CLARIFYING POLICIES THAT ARE ALREADY DOING THIS WOULD [13:34] ALLOW US TO MAKE THOSE UPDATES ON AN ONGOING BASIS AND THAT'S [13:40] PRETTY MUCH IT. IT WAS A PRETTY LIKE I SAID LATE UPDATE BUT WE WANTED TO [13:47] LIKE I SAID WE HAVE TO BRING THAT FOR BOARD APPROVAL QUESTIONS. COMMISSIONER WOOTEN SO AS YOU [13:56] PROBABLY HAVE SOME PROJECTS THAT ARE PENDING THAT'S EARNED AND ALREADY HOW THEY'RE GOING TO BE FACTORED IN WITH THE [14:03] SITUATION IF THEY'VE ALREADY BEEN THEY'VE ALREADY BEEN APPROVED TO GO BUT THEY'VE JUST BEEN HELD UP. YEP. COMMISSIONER RUBIN CHAIR WE [14:10] CURRENTLY ARE ON PAUSE WITH OUR HELP LOAN PROGRAM. WE JUST LAST WEEK GOT OUR ALLOCATION FOR A COMMUNITY [14:18] DEVELOPMENT BLOCK GRANT SO WE ARE WORKING ON GETTING ALL OUR PLANS UPDATED AND SUBMITTED TO THE DEPARTMENT OF HOUSING AND [14:25] URBAN DEVELOPMENT. WE ALSO HAVE HAD QUITE A FEW IN ABOUT LIKE THE LAST THREE WEEKS PAYOFFS OF SOME [14:33] MORTGAGES. SO WE HAVE PROGRAM INCOME THAT HAS COME IN SO WITH THAT KNOWING THAT WE HAVE FUN DOING THAT JUST WERE PAID OFF AND [14:41] ARE FUNDS THAT WILL BE COMING IN FOR THE NEXT PROGRAM YEAR WE ARE COMFORTABLE MOVING FORWARD. WE'RE STARTING JULY JULY, JULY [14:51] JUNE 16TH WAS KIND OF START TAKING A HANDFUL OFF OUR WAITLIST SO THOSE WHO'VE ALREADY BEEN APPLIED AND [14:56] APPROVED WILL BE KIND OF WORKING DOWN BASED ON WHEN THOSE APPLICATIONS WERE SUBMITTED. WE HAVE A NEW ONLINE PORTAL [15:03] SYSTEM THAT WILL BE USING CALLED NEIGHBORLY THAT WILL BE HAVING PEOPLE UTILIZE AND KIND OF ROLL OUT. SO IT'S A GREAT WAY TO TEST IT [15:10] BY DOING THOSE APPLICATIONS THAT HAVE ALREADY BEEN COMPLETED HAVE THEM GO THROUGH OUR NEW SYSTEM AND THEN HOPEFULLY AS WE MAKE OUR WAY [15:18] THROUGH THOSE THAT PROJECT LIST THERE'S STILL FUNDS AVAILABLE FOR THEN BROADLY ADVERTISE IT TO THE GREATER COMMUNITY. [15:26] SO IF FOR CLARIFICATION [15:33] THEY'VE ALREADY BEEN APPROVED THEY'RE IN A HOLDING TANK, ARE THEY GOING TO BE SUBJECT TO THESE PARTICULAR CRITERIA IS WHAT I'M ASKING? [15:40] YEAH. SO LIKE YOU SAW MOST OF THOSE CRITERIA WERE ALREADY WE'RE ALREADY UTILIZING IT'S MORE [15:45] JUST MAKING SURE THAT THEY'RE IN THE POLICY MANUAL. BUT YES THEY WILL BE SUBJECT [15:52] TO THE NEW REQUIREMENTS AND ARE QUESTIONS I HAVE TO WHEN [16:03] YOU SAID THE 10,000 FOR ACCESSIBILITY IS THAT IT INCLUDES LIKE MAKING A BATHROOM ACCESSIBLE TO [16:10] SOMEONE. OKAY. AND THEN MY SECOND QUESTION IS WHAT ABOUT LIKE TREE REMOVAL [16:17] OR TREE REMOVAL? >> IS IT CHAIR IS AN ACCEPTABLE CRITERIA. [16:23] IT'S ONE OF THOSE TYPICALLY IN THAT SITUATION WE WOULD HAVE A VIOLATION OR SOME SORT [16:28] OF ISSUE THAT WE'RE LOOKING TO ADDRESS OUR ENVIRONMENTAL HEALTH DEPARTMENT THEY WILL DO CITATION AND AND ACTUALLY I [16:36] SHOULD HAVE MENTIONED THIS EARLIER TO OUR HELP LOAD IN PARTICULAR THAT THAT IS ONLY THROUGH REFERRAL ONLY [16:44] FROM OUR ENVIRONMENTAL HEALTH DEPARTMENT SO THEY'RE THE ONES THAT GO OUT AND KIND OF DO ZONING AND CODE ENFORCEMENT AND SO THEY'LL IDENTIFY ISSUES [16:52] FOR US AND SO THEY THEY KNOW WHEN THE STRUCTURES NOT SAFE THAT THEY CAN REFER TO US WE [16:58] HAVE THESE FUNDS THEY CANNOT ADDRESS THAT IMMEDIATE NEED TREES CAN KIND OF FALL ONTO [17:04] BOTH CATEGORIES IF THERE'S YOU KNOW, A TREE THAT'S GOING TO FALL OVER, WE WANT TO ADDRESS THAT IMMEDIATELY AND MAYBE IN THAT HELP LOAN BUT IT [17:12] PROBABLY WOULD FIT MORE IN THE REHAB LOAN KNOWING THAT THAT CAN BE PART OF THAT. YEAH. THANK YOU. [17:18] ARE THERE OTHER QUESTIONS COMMENTS SO NOW WE HAVE A [17:25] MOTION TO ADOPT A RESOLUTION APPROVING THE HOME IMPROVEMENT LOAN PROGRAM TERMS MAY I HAVE [17:33] A MOTION TO APPROVE? YES.

SPEAKING OF THE NEXT MEETING, A COUPLE OTHER NOTES WE HAVE HERE. [1:21:00] SO ON IN JUNE IT IS NATIONAL HOMEOWNERSHIP MONTH. SO ON JUNE 10TH WE WILL [1:21:06] ACTUALLY BE DOING A PROCLAMATION HERE. [1:21:12] WE'LL BE DOING A PROCLAMATION HERE AT THE HRA MEETING DECLARING IT AS NATIONAL HOMEOWNERSHIP MONTH. THE MAYOR WILL BE ATTENDING I [1:21:20] BELIEVE TENTATIVELY CONFIRMED TO BE HERE TO DO THAT PROCLAMATION PIECE. SO WE'LL OPEN THE MEETING WITH [1:21:25] THAT AND THEN GO ON TO OUR REGULAR AGENDA ITEMS. I EMAILED OUT THE LINK TO ALL [1:21:31] THINGS HOUSING THE FORMAL REPORT THAT WAS POSTED JUST IN THE LAST COUPLE OF WEEKS HERE A COUPLE OF GOOD HAPPY [1:21:38] NOTIFICATIONS. WE HAVE RECEIVED NOTIFICATION OF SEVERAL GRANTS OVER THE PAST COUPLE OF WEEKS COMMON BOND WHICH THERE WAS AN ITEM [1:21:45] IT WAS ON CONSENT THAT CAME BEFORE THE BOARD BASICALLY SIGNING OFF ON AN ACCEPTANCE [1:21:52] OF ONE OF THEIR AWARDS. THEY RECEIVED A STATE HOUSING TAX CREDIT AND THEY ALSO JUST RECEIVED NOTIFICATION OF A MET [1:21:57] COUNCIL PREDEVELOPMENT GRANT FOR 130. WELL IT'S STILL IN THE IT'S [1:22:04] BEING RECOMMENDED FOR APPROVAL TO THEIR BOARD SO BEING TAKEN OF THEM FOR CONSIDERATION AND I FEEL LIKE THERE'S ANOTHER [1:22:12] GRANT THAT WE GOT THAT I DIDN'T KNOW HERE OH THEY ALSO RECEIVED A COUNTY GRANT FROM THEIR AFFORDABLE HOUSING [1:22:17] DOLLARS SO THEY'VE BEEN RECEIVING VARIOUS RECOMMENDATIONS FOR FUNDING OR [1:22:23] CONFIRMED FUNDING FROM A COUPLE OF DIFFERENT SOURCES. SO THAT'S EXCITING TO SEE FOR BLOOMINGTON FAMILY TOWNHOMES. THE LAST THING I'LL NOTE HERE IS YOU KNOW, WE'RE ALL VERY [1:22:31] AWARE OF THE FEDERAL LANDSCAPE AND THE FEDERAL THE CHALLENGES GOING ON AT THE FEDERAL LEVEL. SO WE ARE NOTING WATCHING THE [1:22:39] PRESIDENT'S BUDGET PROPOSAL WHICH CAME OUT EARLIER IN MAY. SO IN THAT PROPOSAL HE PROPOSED CUTTING A COUPLE [1:22:47] OF THINGS THAT THE HRA RECEIVES FUNDING FOR. ONE IS CDBG FUNDS. THE OTHER ONE IS A SIGNIFICANT [1:22:53] REDUCTION IN THE HOUSING CHOICE VOUCHER OR SECTION EIGHT FUNDING. AND SO THE PROPOSAL WAS TO REDUCE THAT PROGRAM FROM [1:23:00] AROUND 32 BILLION WHICH IS WHAT IT WAS FUNDED AT THIS YEAR TO AROUND 6 BILLION. SO VERY DRAMATIC REDUCTION [1:23:07] ALSO A FOCUS ON SERVING FOLKS WHO ARE ELDERLY OR HAVE DISABILITIES AND HAVING A LIMIT FOR ABLE BODIED [1:23:15] INDIVIDUALS WHO ARE RECEIVING FUNDS TO ONLY RECEIVE THOSE FUNDS FOR ABOUT TWO YEARS. SO THERE'S A LONG WAY TO GO ON THIS BUDGET PROPOSALS IT HAS [1:23:21] TO GO THROUGH CONGRESS. THERE'S MULTIPLE STEPS COMING . WE ARE WORKING WITH OUR FEDERAL LOBBYIST ON DRAFTING A [1:23:29] LETTER KIND OF EXPRESSING SOME OF OUR CONCERNS WITH THESE PROPOSALS. SO LONG WAY TO GO IN THAT SPACE BUT I JUST WANTED TO LET [1:23:34] YOU KNOW OF WHAT'S BEEN PROPOSED AND THAT WE WILL BE KEEPING AN EYE ON IT AND KEEPING YOU POSTED AS THINGS PROGRESS AND THAT'S IT. [1:23:41] I HAVE SOME HANDOUTS FOR YOU ALL. WE HAVE SOME BLOOMINGTON TOGETHER TOMORROW STICKERS [1:23:48] THAT I'LL JUST PASS ON DOWN AND THAT IS THAT WAS A LOT OF UPDATES. I PROBABLY SHOULD HAVE PAUSED FOR QUESTIONS HALFWAY THROUGH [1:23:53] ANY QUESTIONS OR COMMENTS TO [1:23:59] ME I HAD A QUESTION BUT I'M NOT SURE IS RELATIVE TO WELL I SUPPOSE IT I UNDERSTAND [1:24:06] THERE'S A THERE'S BEEN A DECISION FOR A COMMON BOND INVOLVING HOW THEY'RE HANDLING THEIR PROPERTIES GOING FORWARD [1:24:13] PROBABLY SUPPOSEDLY THEY'VE GIVEN IT PROBABLY MANAGEMENT OF SOMEONE ELSE TO MANAGE. [1:24:21] WE HAVE CLARIFICATION YES CHAIR AND COMMISSIONERS SO I, I HAVEN'T COMMUNICATED WITH COMMON BOND DIRECTLY. THAT ARTICLE JUST CAME OUT A [1:24:28] FEW DAYS AGO BUT MY UNDERSTANDING IS THAT INSTEAD OF HAVING AN IN-HOUSE PROPERTY MANAGEMENT THEY ARE MOVING THEY RECEIVED A PROPOSAL FROM [1:24:33] A I THINK IT WAS A BOSTON BASED FIRM TO MANAGE THEIR PROPERTIES FOR THEM. [1:24:40] SO THEY ARE GOING THROUGH A TRANSITION IN TERMS OF WHO'S MANAGING THEIR PROPERTIES. I THINK YOU KNOW I THINK YET [1:24:48] TO BE DETERMINED AND WHAT THAT TRANSITION LOOKS LIKE AND HOW WE WORK WITH IF WE WORK AT ALL WITH THE UPCOMING PROPERTY [1:24:55] MANAGEMENT FIRM. YEAH, WE DO HAVE A COMMON BOND DOES HAVE A LOAN WITH THE [1:25:03] ACTUARY COMING DUE AT THE END OF THIS YEAR THAT WE MIGHT BE BRINGING BACK FOR A BOARD CONSIDERATION LATER THIS YEAR. BUT IN TERMS OF PROPERTY [1:25:08] MANAGEMENT AND YOU KNOW [1:25:13] REMAINS TO BE SEEN IN TERMS OF LIKE WHAT THAT LOOKS LIKE IN TERMS OF TRANSITION FOR THEM. YEAH, YEAH WE'RE AWARE. [1:25:18] YEAH. ALL RIGHT. [1:25:26] THAT IS THE END OF OUR AGENDA. SO MAY I HAVE A MOTION TO ADJOURN THE TUESDAY MAY 27TH [1:25:33] 2025 FEATURING BOARD MEETING JUST A SECOND. MOVED BY COMMISSIONER WOOTEN SECOND BY COMMISSIONER DOLLINGER IN FAVOR A MOTION [1:25:42] PASSES 4 TO 0 MAJORITY
