In addition, at the September board meeting, we'll have Raymond James uh present an update of their financial plan, which is a component of the overall comprehensive plan.

Uh they're kind of two separate items.

Awesome.

That completes my report.

Uh we need a motion for your report.

Uh no, thank you.

All right.

Item three on the agenda, eagerly awaiting the preview of the phase three comprehensive plan from the program manager.

Morning, everybody.

I'm looking to set this, but I'm like, you know, not there anymore.

So we get we got we got a little leaner with the uh with the podium, so no no worries.

Um so good morning.

I just uh want to provide an update what we've been working on here for the past several months, uh putting together about five months here.

We've been putting together the comprehensive plan, which is a total picture of what are we doing, where are we doing it and how we doing it and how we financing it.

And as Joe mentioned, uh the the deeper dive on the financial plan can come uh I think at your next meeting uh with between Raymond James and fiscal advisors in terms of uh in terms of updating you in in more detail on that.

So but I will touch on that.

So the comprehensive plan is fundamentally made up.

There's there's eight components to it.

It's a table of contents.

So our presentation this morning kind of mirrors those eight sections of that uh of the comp plan.

So I'm gonna kind of give you a a high level fly over of what the contents are there and some bullet points uh related to that.

So that hopefully I'll give you yeah, because the full report including the financial section is 200 plus pages.

So hoping to kind of give you a little bit of a uh a condensed version of that today.

Thank you.

Um and would ask and would ask that you if you have a question as I go along, please just I'd rather ask it in real time and and be able to answer that for you.

So uh the eight components that we talked about, I mean overall the goal of the of the program is that we're really trying to renovate spaces um and to give you better alignment with program needs both now and in the future so that the buildings are equipped with that as we as we go forward.

And fundamentally again, you know, improve how the building functions, you know, an overarching theme is keep the water out, right?

So between windows and roofs and masonry indoors and anything on your envelope that we're we're preserving your your buildings because many of these need that.

Um and also being mindful that as we're as we're doing so, um, on some of your buildings you received a double MCA.
