First order of business will be introductions starting on my left.

Thank you, Mr.

Second.

Okay, we have a motion to approve and a second.

All favor, please signify by saying aye.

Aye.

Opposed, same sign.

Minutes are approved.

Moving right down the line, we have with us today, Elizabeth.

Sounds like you go by Nikki, though.

So we have Nikki Johnson, who is a candidate for the county commissioners, which appoint to the Indianapolis Public Library Board.

We have two appointments.

We had our longstanding appointee Patricia Payne, who decided to she was gonna you know do fun things in her life, so she was winding down.

And uh so today we have someone with us who's interested in filling some pretty big shoes from Dr.

Pat Payne as our library board commission uh appointment for the county commissioner.

So good afternoon.

How are you?

I'm I'm good.

Good afternoon to you all.

Good.

Why don't you just you know tell us a little bit about yourself uh, you know, and then why you wish to serve on this board.

Absolutely.

Um so just to provide clarity, I am Elizabeth Nicole Johnson, but I am more commonly known as Nikki Johnson.

Um, however, I respond to both Elizabeth and Nicky.

So and I am currently business librarian at Butler University, um, which has been a rewarding experience.

Um I just met my year anniversary in that position.

Um I've served as a librarian in the state of Indiana for 15 years now.

And um one of the biggest reasons why this is such an honor and a privilege is um because during my experience I was a community branch manager for the Martindale Brightwood branch from about 2019 to 21.

And within that experience, I was introduced to the just the genuine ownership that the community takes with their resources and how to provide them.

Um so serving in as a public service librarian and providing um not only resources but advocacy to the communities that we serve.

I thought that it would be a great opportunity to learn how to effectively um support them, support and work with them while facilitating their process for meeting their needs.

Great.

Do we have any questions today for Mrs.

Johnson?

No.

Mr.

Chair, I don't have any questions.

I just would say it sounds like she's got quite a bit of experience.

I agree.

Thank you.

Well, if we don't have any other questions, um I will take a motion to appoint Mrs.

Johnson to the Indianapolis Public Library Board.

Mr.

Troop, excuse me, let me speak.

Uh Mr.

President, I move approval of Elizabeth Nicole Johnson as the commissioner's appointment to the Indianapolis Public Library Board.

Okay, I'll second that.

So we have a motion and a second.

All in favor, please signify by saying aye.

Aye.

Opposed, same sign.

Congratulations.

Thank you.

Your appointment, you are our appointment to the Indianapolis Public Library Board.

Do we swear?

Do we have a we have a uh oath of office?

Oath of office.

Yeah, yeah, I can do that.

Do you have time to just hang around and we'll keep going and then we can swear you in at the end?

Sure.

Okay, you can just sit in the gallery.

Okay.

Thank you.

Uh-huh.

Next, we have an update on the 2022 and 2023 nonprofit tax lien sale.

Sure.

Yeah.

Okay.

We're gonna do a buddy landowner then.

No, we're we're just flipping MBCDCs going first instead of HP.

Gotcha.

Okay.

Just because of a uh not quite conflict of scheduling.

So we've got we've got Marindale Brightwood Community Development going now.

Okay, great.

Good afternoon, commissioners.

Of the parcels purchased by qualified nonprofits of the 2022 nonprofit tax lien sale.

Five were not redeemed within the one year redemption period and transferred to the purchasing nonprofit.

Two were transferred to INHP, that would be 520 North Gray and 2128 North Delaware.

And then three were transferred to Martindale Brightwood.

Of the parts parcels purchased by qualified nonprofits of the 2023 nonprofit tax lien sale.

Five have executed project agreements, two were transferred to INHP.

That would be 3612 North only, which will not be updated today because that one was tied up in litigation, and so they have not actually had possession really long enough to have a substantive update.

And 3209 North Priscilla, which will be, and then two were transferred to Martindale Brightwood, that would be 2844 Brookside and 2641 Dr.

Martin Luther King Jr.

And one was transferred to Send, which will also not be uh updated today for the same reason as only okay.

And at this time we have Jasmine Buchanan from MBCDC to provide an update to the commissioners.

I can let her speak.

Good afternoon.

Good afternoon.

My name is Jasmine Buchanan.

I'm with the Martindale Brightwood Community Development Corporation.

I serve as the senior director of real estate with the CDC, and I just want to highlight this very special moment of seeing Miss Nikki talk about her journey and how she was a branch manager at the Martindale Brightwood uh branch.

We our home office is currently in the old Martindale Brightwood Library until they built it right across the street.

So it we always love when we give our tours to highlight how this used to be the library sat vacant for a few years until we acquired it, and now it's fully leased.

So very nice moment.

Um so we can move on to the next slide.

So the Martindale Brightwood CDC was founded in 1992 to be a catalyst for sustainable development in the Martindale Brightwood neighborhood through primarily economic development, environmental justice, and things like that.

There's a lot of buzz around that environmental justice piece.

Um so currently we do that in five key ways, which is through our workforce development, small business development, uh homeowner repair preservation, and things like that, um, community development or community outreach, I should say, and then through real estate development.

And so this piece goes uh in line with our community development or our real estate development, and so with the properties that we purchased in the 2022 tax sale, um the 2749 Station Street, 2873 Stewart, and 4500 Hillside Avenue.

If you could click each one, there we go.

Thank you.

So the 2749 Station Street home is in progress, so that was a home that was affected by squatters, so there were people that were living in there.

There we saw extension cords going from one house to another.

We think the neighbor had some connection to the home, so it took a while while we were um just getting funding to make sure that the it stayed boarded up and remained safe for the block in the neighborhood.

Um so as of right now, um, we were awarded a grant from the Urban League Round 4 grant um to partially fund the renovation of 20,000 that went towards the renovation costs.

Um we are currently under construction with the completion date of 2026, and if you click next on that one, um we have a budget breakdown of about 135,000 going into it, um, changing the floor plan a little bit, having to change everything from the roof, um, pretty much going down to the studs.

Um, we anticipate the appraisal price of this to be within the 140 range, um, and then the IAQLI grant to help with that as well.

Um, our next home that was purchased in the 2022 partner or um tax sale was 4500 Hillside Avenue.

So there is an existing structure on there.

Um, once we get the funding, that will um come down.

But I actually have a meeting today, so backstory.

I applied for we applied for home um through the uh DMD last year and was not awarded.

We were also not awarded the IAQLI grant that was submitted in the project agreement because in their round four they really wanted to focus on renovations, and this is clearly a new build.

So we're thankful that they did fund some of our renovation projects.

This one just unfortunately didn't qualify.

Um, so I'm in conversations with um Purdue extension, they want to partner with a jump starter, which I will talk more about that program to potentially provide or do a mock for 3D printed housings.

Still very, very preliminary.

Um I hate to even say it because I don't we don't know all the details yet.

Um, but we've had interest in that angle, and then also with Habitat for Humanity, who has reached out to us in relation to this property as well.

And then 2844 Um Brookside Avenue.

Um super excited about this one.

So this is where the majority of our round four um funds uh came from.

We received 125,000 um to renovate this home, and we're doing a little bit of a different approach on this.

We are going to partner with a Jumpstart Indy graduate to redevelop and serve as a project manager for this home.

Jumpstart Indy is an annual course uh cohort that we offer once a year to local residents to learn how to develop and invest in the neighborhood.

So it's nine weeks.

Um you can only qualify if you are engaged throughout the entire process and you attend all um sessions.

It goes from very um early concepts like legal accounting, things like that goes more into permitting different ways to uh source properties, per um legal, all of the fun stuff, and then to your exit strategy.

Are you gonna sell?

Are you gonna renovate or sell or um keep the home as a rental?

So we provide resources and speakers to come in and speak on that.

Just want to say that Mickey presented a couple years ago, and he talked about the tax sales.

So I really try to reach out to folks who are um who can fill one of those uh we call them jump steps.

Um, and so for this one, we have about um 60 graduates who would qualify to serve as a project manager for this, and so a part of the um project would go to that person's salary so they can get that real world experience.

Very excited about that.

And then the next property, so this was acquired in the 2023 tax sale, and another lot that we applied for funding through home 2025 that was not awarded.

Um, I'm seeking to um I received from some good feedback from DMD on why it was not awarded, and I plan on applying for funding again this year and forming a formal partnership with Flanner House since this is in their area, it's off of MLK.

I'm very um close with the economic developer there, and he's very interested in um working on this lot.

We um we just didn't submit the formal application together because of some um logistical things, but we're hoping that with talking to DMD early on and forming that partnership that we'll get that one funded as well.

And then at a glance, we have the five tax sales, brookside and station um are either under construction or about to be, and then I have some funding um plan for the remaining homes.

And I believe that's it.

There are any questions I can answer.

Um this is something that's near and dear to my heart because it's a legislated initiative that it took to get it done.

So if you have milestones or grand openings or ribbon cuttings, please do keep this in mind because I love to participate.

Yes, yes, I would love to um invite you.

I'm this year, um, our theme is partnerships and including our partners on every step of the process, you know, and making sure that we're inviting you.

So I would absolutely love to welcome you all to that.

Great.

Thank you.

Your goal is to mainly sell these properties in for new home buyers, yes, and not lease correct.

So it's and that's my impression of the yes, yes.

Okay, yeah.

Okay, yes.

So um a part of the quality because the Morando Brightwood community, we um recently had a city certified quality of life plan that was certified last summer, and our priority isn't home ownership.

We know that the Martin Dale Brightwood community is filled with landlords, you know, some that are here local, many who are not local.

Um so we really want to foster ownership and community involvement and accountability together.

And so, one example of that is we're having like a spring cleaning day next month, and we're engaging not only with the residents to clean their homes but inviting their grandkids to come in and participate on this, and you can get support by cleaning up your grandma's yard with a team with you, you know.

So that is our approach on the community education side.

Yeah, I know there's a couple different ways of slice ownership, but your your traditional mortgage or you know, traditional mortgage titled in your name going forward.

Yep, and we have experience with that with C DBG and through our ARPA homes as well, with ensuring that they're income eligible within the 80% AMI.

Great.

I mean, they look like very affordable for nowadays prices to get almost a new home at that kind of price point is pretty rare.

Yeah.

Mr.

Chair, I have a question.

Um regard to the Martindale Brightwood area.

Are you finding that most of the residents in that area are renting or are they homeowners?

That's a good question.

So as the housing and infrastructure pillar captain for the quality of life plan.

Last year we released a resident survey.

That's for all residents.

We hosted coffee and conversation series.

We went out, we it was a short survey, we just wanted to know high level, you know, what are their needs and what is their status?

And out of, I would say about 120 responses, at least 80% of them were renters.

And those who owned homes own them outright because they were like generational homes and folks who have been in their homes for a very, very long time.

And then that opens up another can of worms on is this home safe in terms of lead, in terms of you know, in the soil and the paint and things like that.

So lots of hairs cross here, and you know, um partnerships like this really help.

And you know, thank you for your presentation.

Any other questions today from the board?

We don't have a motion, do we?

Is this an update?

Alrighty, thank you so much so much for the answer.

I appreciate it.

Thank you.

We still have one more presenter.

Uh-huh.

Next we have uh Jeff Hasser from INHP here to present an update for their parts.

Great.

Uh I can defer to Nikki to uh do her oath so she doesn't have to hang around for me if that would be quicker.

You want to?

You want me to do it?

It's up to you.

If you're going to if you want, yeah, you can just stand up here.

There's a microphone right here, so you can kind of stand in front of us and then we'll just have you raise your right hand.

Very kind spikes.

I didn't mind hanging out.

I go ahead and raise your right hand.

I state your name.

I, Elizabeth Johnson.

Do solemnly swear.

Do solemnly swear.

I'll get your signature real quick.

I have just all we need, right?

Is one signature.

Thank you.

Good afternoon.

I had to double check that it was afternoon.

But it's still like a it's blurred.

I'm Jeff Hasser.

I'm the director of housing strategy at INHP here to give you an update on our tax sale properties.

So just to give you a refresher, I know I presented to you last year, but uh we create affordable housing solutions for people with low and moderate incomes and collaborate to enhance quality of life in Indianapolis neighborhoods.

And we envisioned an Indianapolis where every person lives in a home and neighborhood that enables them to thrive.

So uh this program actually fits perfectly with our mission and our values that we say.

So uh today uh we're talking about a few different properties.

Um so uh as Ryan mentioned, 520 and uh North Delaware, we'll go through.

Um and then we had Priscilla, uh 3209 North Priscilla, which was actually we've split into two lots, so it's 3209 and 3212 North Bolton.

Um and then we have 3612 North only, and then the last two from this most recent uh 2024 2611 Adams and 1326 West 26th Street.

Awesome.

Um yeah, uh hopefully I'm not overachieving and boring everyone in this case.

Um so uh first property we want to talk about was uh 520 North Gray Street.

Um this is about 15,000 square feet, three bed, two and a half bath on the near east side.

You can see it's just north of Michigan.

And this is what it looked like when we acquired it.

I promise there's not currently trash on the uh front.

Um but just to kind of give you an except the exterior was actually pretty solid for the most part.

Um as you can see, we're keeping it relatively same from the exterior um standpoint.

Uh the interior was another uh another matter altogether.

Uh uh part of the reason that uh sometimes it would be great to get access, but uh unfortunately not uh able to do in these instances.

But um, yeah, you can see a lot of damage to the roofs, uh to the flooring, all this that that really is going to require you know full gut rehab in the middle.

Uh and more, you know, again, you can kind of see more of that damage that that has happened.

Uh, this is what it looks like today.

Um, so we've uh finished most of the interior framing.

Um we're working with a contractor who's done a lot of our rehabs and done excellent job.

Um, so we're really happy to see that it's starting to actually be something that you can kind of walk around in at this point.

Uh, exterior looks pretty much the same, so I didn't give you an update on the exterior of the building.

Um, however, uh it has been moving along pretty quickly, which has been great.

Just to give you an idea of the budget.

Um, you know, uh the bulk of the costs are obviously the rehab of the building for about 287,000.

Uh, so our total budget somewhere around 330.

Um, and then we'll have a sale price of 225,000, but that will include uh down payment assistance to help make it affordable to an 80% AMI buyer.

Uh the next property is uh 2126 and 2128 Delaware Street, uh yet another one that we split in half.

Uh each unit is gonna be about 2,000 square feet, four bedrooms, three and a half baths.

So it's uh it's definitely one of our larger properties that we've developed in those cases.

Um again, mostly we're close to that Delaware of 1500.

Um, so we have an extra 500 square feet plus another bath and bedroom.

Uh here's the exterior.

Uh, it's actually a little newer and nicer.

I think more of the siding has been finished at this point.

Um, but you can see that uh we really you know kind of ran with it.

It's actually the same contractor uh that did the work before.

Um, so it looks really great inside.

As you can see, um we have some of the framing completed.

Um actually I then we took this before the installation was completed as well, but um, there's gonna be some insulation completed that that'll happen now.

We can keep going.

Uh and it'll have a basement as well where one of the um bedrooms will be as well in a bath.

Uh this is uh a little bit pricier, uh 326 and then 333 for the two sides.

Uh the sales price we were required to list it the plans and specs because of the CDBG funds that we have into it.

So the projected sale price is 320,000, but we'll provide down payment assistance again to make it affordable for an 80% AMI household.

Uh we're really excited about this one.

Uh we don't get a lot of opportunities to develop in the Harren Morton neighborhood.

Um, so this is going to be an excellent property.

Um, as uh we mentioned we're very close to being done, and we'd be happy to have the commissioners there to be able to check out the home and be able to see kind of the finished work.

So the timeline of Drew were transferred in March of 2024.

Uh we submitted a CDBG application in October 2024.

In January received the awards in 2025, and then uh we had a very long environmental review process this past year.

Um not because of anything related to our properties, but unfortunately, the um the federal government just took a little bit longer uh than it than it usually does in order to get through uh the environmental reviews.

So we were able to kind of get started in September, uh, which was wonderful, and then um you know, again, this April we'll finish Delaware and probably around September uh we'll finish gray as well.

And then the sale of the home, we usually are probably within 30 to 60 days after the completion of the home uh to be able to sell it.

So by the end of this year, we should be completely done with or sold with those two homes.

Have you sorry uh yeah?

Have it kept up on the exposure time on the market.

I assume it's gone pretty far up from the days of an hour listing being sold.

But I mean what is so we use we do what's called a first look program.

So we actually give two weeks for INHB clients to view the properties.

Um during that time, we don't accept any offers.

Um the idea being we want any clients that we have that are interested in viewing the properties, they can look at it, kind of had a little bit of leisure to be able to submit the offer.

Um then we review the offers after that point.

Um I will say uh through that program um we we've probably gotten a little less you know interest in some of our traditional properties that we had.

Um, you know, I think when I first started about five years ago, you know, we'd routinely get six, seven sometimes offers.

We're probably down to you know two or three in most of our other homes.

Um the Heron Morton, the Delaware property, I think is one that's going to have a lot of interest because of the size because of the location for that.

Even and a price point, even at that, it's pretty good price point for that neighborhood.

Correct, yes.

Yeah, yeah.

The client's real mortgage is probably gonna be closer to you know, somewhere between 180 and 220,000, really, when it when it comes down to it.

So yeah, they're getting a it's a great deal for those properties.

Yeah.

Uh 3209 North Priscilla.

Uh, again, as I mentioned, this is one that was actually a split.

Uh, we're proposing uh 1,500 square foot home, three bed, two and a half bath.

Um, we were actually uh just funded for this property um from the city, and we got notification in January.

So you can see kind of what the uh front of it, what the current uh lot looks like, um, and then what the uh front elevation is going to look like for this home.

Um this is a design we've actually built in the past, and uh it's been very popular.

We built one of these on rural.

And then uh the north elevation and some of the floor plan um for the home as well.

Uh budget is just under $300,000, and the sale price we're estimating about $210,000 for this home.

And again, all these will have down payment assistance.

So I don't want anything to think how does an 80% AMI uh family afford 210 or 300,000.

We always offset that to make sure it's eligible.

Uh 3212 Bolton, it actually should be the other side.

I apologize the picture's wrong on there.

Um it'll be about 1400 square foot, three beds, two and a half, two baths as well.

And very similar uh, you know, ranch style home that we've built uh two, just a little bit smaller in terms of the square footage.

And you can kind of see the layout there.

Uh that budget about the same, 293,000, uh, and we anticipate just a little less in terms of sale price of 200,000.

And both of these have been funded.

Uh, as I mentioned, the deed transfer was uh in January 2025.

We submitted the application in October 2025, received the award letter just this past January.

Um we're currently undergoing the city's environmental review process.

We anticipate that to probably be completed in April.

And then after that time, um we should have a contract and be able to begin construction.

Um we probably anticipate about uh you know a six, seven month uh construction timeline.

Usually we're quicker than that, but I try to be a little conservative in this.

Um and then the sale of the home, hopefully by the beginning of 2027.

Uh the other properties uh we want to talk about is uh 3612 north only.

Um this was one, if you go to the next slide, um it wasn't in great shape.

Um we it it will again we didn't see the back of this until we purchased it.

Um so this is one that was actually habited, uh inhabited.

Uh it was it was a individual was buying it on contract at the point.

Um it it was very rough, uh unfortunately.

So you can see what we're proposing is very is a similar one to the Bolton design.

Uh this was the interior uh that we had to uh deal with uh unfortunately.

You're gonna rehab and keep the existing bones and keep it.

Uh I'll get to that.

Uh I don't want to spoil anything.

Um this was the basement, unfortunately, it was flooded uh and had raw sewage in it as well.

Um yeah, you can see the stuff floating in the bottom.

Yeah, yeah, yeah.

There was uh yes.

We didn't we didn't want to do it.

Um so uh actually you can skip to the next one.

Um we actually have already demoed it.

Um we had a lean against it from BNS uh for a demo order.

So we actually um after we acquired it, um we actually demoed the the property because they're just it would have been too much to actually save the property and it was better just to start now.

So um we understand we we took on this before um we had kind of fully funding for the project.

We understand that we we also understand that um you know if we are unable to develop the property, you know, the county is going to take it back and we lose the money that we had to demo it.

It was a risk we were willing to take because having that as a blight in the community was not worth it.

Um, and we we are very confident that we're gonna be able to redevelop the property.

Thanks.

I'm sure the neighbors are much more excited about that than there was, yeah.

And if I just want to interject briefly, uh just as a reminder for the record, this one uh you did not take title to until July or August of last year.

Correct, correct?

I think has a pending litigation and a um issue with the tax protest to the tax elephant.

Yes, and that was the that's avoided.

That was the inhabitant and that lived there before.

And we we actually engaged them.

Um they actually came and talked to our lenders.

We talked about, you know, is there a potential option to sell it?

And there was a the state of the house gave us some concern about ultimately selling it to them in that state.

So yeah.

2024 tax sale properties.

This is uh the first one, 2611 Adam Street, um, which was uh relatively good condition, uh, all things considered, which was which is great to have for this property.

And then 13.

Yeah, yeah, yeah.

1326 West 26th Street.

Um a little rougher as well.

I think it's 26th Street.

We one of them is still we're waiting on that.

I think it's this one.

I think it's 26th Street, too.

Yeah.

Okay.

Ryan knows better than me.

Uh the so I believe this parcel is also uh pending litigation, pending an objection to the tax sale.

Yeah.

So it has not yet transferred.

Uh so just to give you a kind of a summary of the tax sale year, the addresses, and then we're when we're projecting to complete um the last three only atoms in 26th Street.

We're all exploring for funding for the Federal Home Loan Bank of Indianapolis.

So an application that's due in June.

Uh, we wouldn't hear about that till November.

Um, we may also explore, you know, if if that doesn't work out, we can explore the city funds, etc.

So we are looking at uh every alternative in order to make sure we kind of get this approved and funded as quick as possible.

Any questions from the board?

Great work.

Yeah.

Do we have any questions from the board?

Yeah, none.

I would like to say thank you to Ryan and the whole treasurer staff as well.

They are always wonderful to work with.

Um, you know, I I uh Ryan routinely uh corrects me when I mess up on something like a project agreement.

Oh yeah, uh we only have a few, so not very often.

So a couple.

Um, but it it has been a wonderful program.

Uh we continue to advocate for you know the success expansion of this program because um this is one where you know these the ability to get these properties and transform them into quality homes is a real benefit.

I mean, I I I always bring up Delaware is just one of the biggest examples of that that doesn't happen without this program.

It it's just there's no feasible way we are building in Harry Morton without a program like this.

So thank you.

Mr.

Chair, if I could ask Jeff in regard to you mentioned you guys um offer the properties to clients first.

What is that process look like as far as the application is it an application process, or how do you become a client of INHP?

Happy to.

I'm sure my marketing team would be very glad you asked that question.

Um we our website, we have a get started button at the top that clients can click.

Um it'll ask a few questions to those uh to those individuals to be able to determine where they are in their home buying journey.

Um might need some education and some advising.

Uh so we have advisors that are willing to work with individuals to improve their credit score or start building up savings.

Um we have a home medium home buyer education class that we have, and we actually have taken some of our clients to our homes and to be able to kind of show them off as they're attending a class.

I I actually present on it once a month.

Um those that are a little bit more ready uh might be ready for lending.

Uh so INHP is a community development financial institution.

So we're actually essentially a nonprofit bank where we make mortgages for clients.

Um so we review them, we uh can pre-approve them for mortgages.

Um we actually do not require any of the clients to use INHP as the lender.

We think we have great products, but if there are better products out there, we want the client to use whatever's best for them.

Um so we give them some options to be able to be pre-approved.

Once they've received that pre-approval, then they're eligible for that first look program, right?

Um we want to make sure that a client is able to understand what their purchasing power is before they submit an offer, but at that point they start receiving those emails of the first look.

So there's not um, you know, it's starting to just work with us, and and at any point those clients I always encourage them to ask whoever their advisor, whoever those, um their contact is at IHP.

You can always ask, hey, am I receiving the first look emails?

How do I get to that?

And we want to be able to assist those clients in getting there.

Thank you.

No problem.

Any other questions or comments?

Okay.

Thanks so much for the update.

Thank you.

Thanks.

Thanks.

Looks like we got one more agenda item with the abutting landowner program, right?

Uh so all parcels offered have been through the Marion County tax lien sale.

These parcels did not have the lien purchased, and the owners did not redeem within the allotted legal reduction period.

All parcels have been assessed at less than $50,000, and abutting landowners must be current on all property taxes and own a parcel that is contiguous to the parcel being offered.

Here we have a map of the parceling question outlined in blue.

Don't worry, the owner of the other half of the house is the one that bought it.

This is this is one of what I would consider almost a special abutting, in that because as you can see, the prop the house itself is split neatly down the middle.

Um it was not offered to the owner of the parcel that is on the other side because that would not be very good if they bought half of their neighbor's house.

Um at this time, staff recommends declaring the property listed on the agenda as surplus and transferring it to the abutting landowner with the highest bid received.

Are there any questions?

No questions.

Do we know what it's a bid is?

And is that standard?

Yes.

Okay, yeah.

All right.

Any other questions?

Do you need a motion for that?

Yes.

Okay.

I'll understand a motion.

Uh I move that we designate the parcel for the abutting landover owner program at 5300 East Burgess Avenue.

We have a motion and a second to approve.

All in favor, please signify by saying aye.

Aye.

Opposed, same sign.

Motion carries.

Thank you very much, Commissioner.

Thank you.

Good afternoon.

Looks like our next meeting will be April 15th at 2 p.m.

I assume in the same room, 260, uh, which is in the city county building.

Seeing or hearing no other businesses come before us today, I will entertain a motion to adjourn.

I move adjournment.

Okay, we are adjourned.
