Madam Clerk, we let the record reflect that I am here along with Councilman Johnson as well as uh Councilman Brennan. And we do have all three committee members in attendance. First of the first thing on the agenda is the approval of minutes. I would like to note that there were a couple of revisions made. Do I have to highlight it? If you look at the ones from April 21st, 2026. Under number three, and it's highlighted in red. And then down under number four, if you see highlighted, we added the procurement process as one of the things that was discussed during that conversation. If you go to the minutes on page, I'm sorry, May 19th minutes. We correct, not correct it, but we put the exact number associated with the Pendleton Street property as 267,000. Is there a motion to accept these minutes with the correction as stated? So here we are. Moved and oh look at I'm sorry, moved and moved in properly second by all the same. Yes. Thank you all so much, guys, for reading your minutes and taking that time. I really appreciate your dedication to the committee and the service. Next for committee discussion, we have one thing on the agenda today. And that is the portable multifamily development projects update with Miss Felicia Hillboard community. I'm sorry, I need to pull out my community development. As I saw the word community development. Was it already got it? That's a good thing. And then you could give me another one, but you'll get hijacked too. Oh, did you? Okay. This morning, um, someone who works at Drew was like, where did what department did you get this cup from? So I ain't in it. Um and so thank you, uh Ms. Kilboard, just as a background for folks um who and I'm I don't know if I'm gonna do a good job at background, um, but we have talked about a lot of our um federal funds and individual projects and housing, um, but we also have opportunities to support multifamily projects. Um, and I think that staff has been doing a good job at creating a process for when those applications come in. Um, and it's important for us. We just want to keep up with um the status of these. I will say it's important too because things change. Just like I was um at a neighborhood meeting, and for some reason they were asking about um there's a for sale side on a building, but we had announced a while ago that they were building a 93 million dollar project.
