Um, and then we'll just take questions from the committee.

Is anybody uh I can give us a really brief Allison?

I'll just give the high overview.

I'll hand it to you.

Um this Matt Flinner, director of central services.

Uh and what we're here discussing today is the transfer of the spa road property from the city to the resilience authority.

Um, and it's uh the type of project where a lot of departments have a hand in this one.

Um so Alison has been doing a lot of reporting out along with Ashley, Chris, and myself.

Oh, and Christina's here from the Resilience Authority to answer questions on their behalf as well.

So we kind of have the whole committee here for you all today.

Uh and in that Alison, with that, do you want to give uh overview to the group?

Um, sure.

Alison DeMateo, City of Annapolis Public Works Engineer.

In general, we're asking for the property transfer so that we can apply for a brownfields grant.

The Brownfields grant gives us the potential to secure up to four million dollars for cleanup of the spa road property.

Um the city is considered the the contaminator of the site, so we don't we can't apply for the brown fields grant.

So in order to do that, we're asking to switch to a responsible party that can apply for the grant.

This is going to be our last opportunity for the grant without having to match.

And the grant is due in November.

So this process is happening quickly because the property transfer will need to take place prior to the November application.

Thank you very much for that.

Any questions from the committee?

I know some of you may have had this at previous hearings.

I'm ready to go.
