Um I think would it be helpful for me to just like say like this is what I hope we get to talk about >> or do you >> agenda is perfectly fine. >> Okay. Yeah. Okay. I was like I didn't want to like like be like you can't talk about what
you can talk about whatever you want but >> like the point >> you know I or like at least it's like if you want direction this is what I was thinking. Yeah. So I'll say that. Okay cool. Um, and y'all are invited to lunch if you want to come and get a free
lunch. Even if you just pop in and grab a sandwich, and pop back out. Um, uh, because I ordered I ordered some extras. So, >> yeah. And then I'm talking with my admin
person um, job to figure out how we can make a donation to CRA to compensate for your time. So, we're trying to figure out like what the legal way of us giving money is going to be. So, it might not
happen immediately, but just know that we are we are figuring it out. I am on it. >> Okay. >> So, hi. >> Hello. How are you all? >> Good. >> Good to see you all. >> Are we in the right spot >> for the housing authority
>> work session? >> Work session. >> The budget meeting. Yes. The CFP. >> Yes. >> Yes. Yes. >> There are packets in the front that you all can um pick up and go through. >> Is this where we sign up for? >> Yes. You sign in and you can pick up a package.
>> So, this is for the nonprofit. >> Brandon will be speaking on uh like our redevelopment um CFP for CRA that has authority. >> No, >> it's said it was for the the budget for
nonprofit funding. in another room. >> Not for like housing nonprofit. Okay. >> But not for the CRA nonprofit >> for for the library community. Was that for SE bill tomorrow?
>> No, they said today, >> huh? >> We have We have like this >> probably supposed to be city space. >> Oh, so down the mall. >> Vibrant communities is the budget for the city. >> Yes, that's it. Yes, city space. Um,
>> straight down to the bricks here. >> Thank you, Brandon. Thank you, Brandon. Yeah. What? >> Love the gold paper clips. >> I know. Aren't they cute? >> Look, I only wear one.
>> We are We are in right here. I'm like I think I like >> it's in this building. >> Maybe. >> Yeah. You know what? Besides that, I did wear much more silver when I was younger. >> I'll catch up with you.

>> How are you doing, Maria? Oh, I'm wonderful. Thanks for asking. How are you >> doing? All right. Yeah, >> good. >> Okay. Apparently some of my um not the students that were coming on this field trip, but some of my other students have
like been on the Zooms for some of the board meetings because they just wanted, you know, they were like wanted to know they had assignments about board meetings in in Charlottesville. And >> so they were like, "We saw you on Zoom." Okay, >> that's cool.
Spring break one for you a week or two ago, right? >> Yes. Last week, which is nuts. >> Yeah. And then is >> But we end the 28th, I think, is our last day of classes, but April. >> Okay. >> So, >> Oh, wow. Okay. Yeah, cuz I was about to

So, like they used to start after MLK day and now we start the week before. So just everything got pushed back because we had that earlier
start in January. Lord knows why. >> Yes. Cuz it was a long January. I used to remember. Yeah. >> But this was years ago. >> Yeah. >> Like you had a big break. >> Wonder if it was snow or something. >> I don't know. It's weird. It's kind of bizarre. Like I missed my mom January.
>> Mhm. Yeah. Cuz you do. You still have like J sessions. >> Yeah. I don't I like teaching every day for five hours a day seems like literal the hell um to me. But um um but I do I mean I do like being like
okay may have done >> you know well with the teaching part of my job not the rest of it but >> um but yeah then for the summer I get to be like a real historian so that's fun. >> That's nice. It's a big I mean that's
academia right? It's a mix of education work. >> Exactly. Yeah. >> And I love I mean I love the students like They're mostly really amazing and just very sweet. So, are you busy? What What are you busy with? What's
>> um We Laugher did a uh resolution uh what recognizing we rushed today and then came back in the snow from Richmond. So, we closed our office. >> Yeah. And then uh always the same stuff, you know, I got a
meeting next week with the board and then >> Okay. >> Got a fundraiser next month and an open house and >> Uhhuh. >> Uh and then you're still thinking about fall and and what summer looked like. >> Yeah. >> Because you're like, I might as well start thinking about it now so I'm not >> Yeah.
>> at the last minute. So >> totally. >> We stayed busy and that would have been any other >> year. You're you're still still just a nonprofit around. >> Yeah, you got to keep planning ahead and keep >> even if things change every week. So,
>> yeah, literally. >> Yeah, it was going all right. Um, it's very funny. It's like you could see everybody getting a little bit chipper with like the warm weather. >> People are getting excuses to work on their laptop outside. >> Totally. >> It's like, all right, you know what?
Whatever. >> You have a little bit of >> a little more pep in your step. >> Like, that's fine. >> Yeah. As long as it's not outside. I know it's >> They're like, "Oh my god." >> Yeah. Oh, there's >> Should we anyone start?
>> We can start. Yeah. Feel like Okay. It's technically 607. So, >> so could I check with the sales or or Delphine? We have two of our current
five board members present. Could we proceed with a presentation on the uh CFP fund or uh if I could get some advice on that regarding >> I think you should be able to proceed. There's no action items. This is just a presentation and so there shouldn't be
any issues. I think Deline's hands raised but muted. That hand raise just came up, right? >> I have my glasses on so I can't tell. Oh, wait. It's bigger up there. >> We'll wait to see. >> I'm realizing um based on how poorly I can see that screen all the way over
there that I need my prescription to be updated. So, Deline, are you able to unmute? There you go. Deline has has an answer. She's unmuted, so maybe she's having audio issues. I'm fairly confident uh 100% sure we can
start the meeting. There's no action items. Okay. >> And so I don't think we will have any issues. Um it's just a presentation that we will end up duplicating um at the board meeting. uh next month, not this upcoming Monday, but the Monday after next.
>> Okay, then that sounds good to me. Um if we could call to order the meeting for March 12th, Thursday, 2026 of the Charlottesville Redevelopment and Housing Authority, uh our work session. Uh would uh Maria, would you be willing to uh do a roll call?
>> Commissioner Rosenl >> here. >> Commissioner Rodales, >> present. >> Thank you. Uh let's take a minute moment of silence. That was a minute, right? >> Um we can open up to the second agenda
item. Public comments followed by FAR comments. Is there um there's no one present currently in the chambers, but is there anyone online? I think it's all staff members online. Um and then I do not see any FAR
representatives uh either online or in attendance. Um so I think we could move on to item three, CFP presentation. Uh Mr. Brandon Collins, would you be willing to um share with us our capital
improvement plan? >> Absolutely. Thank you. Um let me share. Oh, I got a request to share. I sent a request to share while we're waiting on that. Um
I am Brandon Collins. I'm your redevelopment coordinator. Um, currently here in Washington DC. Uh, and quick note while I'm waiting on the share screen. Um, many of uh, so one of your board members is here. We actually
found a way for him to attend a ticketed award ceremony that's going on right now and that's why he's not here. Uh, and many of your FAR folks are also at this conference. Um, it looks like
I'm sharing. No. Well, gosh, you guys. Oh, here we go. Now they're letting me do it. Okay. Well, I love uh the capital fund
plan and I love talking to y'all about it. Um, I won't take up too much of your time. Uh, but I'm here to talk about the uh CRA five-year capital fund action plan. Um, and we'll just kind of go over the
basics of that. Um, so that you kind of know what you're looking at in your packet. Um, there we go. Um, so what we're going to hit up is, uh, real fast. We'll go through much of this stuff. uh the activities associated with it, what the
plan is, a little bit about the past, a little bit of things that we had to think about, and then we'll look at the plan uh and take a quick look uh at the interior renovation project that is uh
that is underway. All right, so timeline and activities um getting ready for the plan happened this winter. on February 6, we published the draft and published the notice of your public hearing. Um,
and uh from there, we've been doing uh polling. I'm still uh I'm getting close to wrapping up the poll of the parallel track folks. Uh we did go over the plan at the West Haven planners meeting as it
pertains to them. Um we had a scheduled uh meeting with the resident advisory board which is far um but they were all uh traveling and in DC so we may actually have an ad hoc uh RAB
consultation um at some point. Um and then we've got the work session. Uh we'll be having in-person meetings with our parallel track sites uh next week and uh we should be getting uh comments
from FAR, written comments from FAR uh by March 20 give a chance to uh respond and then at your next official board meeting there is a public hearing on the plan uh hopefully followed by
your approval. So what is the capital fund plan? So um this is u annual distribution of funds from HUD for capital projects uh and it comes in grant form. So the way I like to explain it is for the most part public housing
uh has two kind of pools of money. One is for operations uh and the other is for capital. Um operations come in the form of subsidy. capital fund comes as a grant uh for which you have to um submit a five-year
action plan. Um fun thing to keep in mind, especially for newer folks, at some point a few months down the road, there's going to be a TV announcement that Senators Kaine and Warner have gotten uh millions of dollars uh for for
public housing in Charlottesville improvements. Uh, and everybody's going to pester you about it and they're going to ask you about it a year later and be like, "What happened to that money?" Um, this is the capital fund. Um, they make a big deal of it, but we do rely on it because we're eligible for it. Uh, as
long as we meet these requirements. So, it's not like extra money. It's money we rely on. Uh, though we do have some extra money from 2024 that we'll talk about briefly in a second. Um, so in order to get Kappa Fund, uh, you have to
have the five-year plan. Uh, you have to have a 45day comment period, which we're in. Uh, you have to consult with your resident advisory board. Uh, and you have to provide written responses to their comments.
Uh, you have to have a public hearing and you have to have approval of the board of commissioners. Um so the resident advisory board is FAR uh who's also your resident council. Um
if uh uh and you have to consult the RAB and include your responses to any comments that they have uh when you submit the plan to HUD. Um that law is covered under 24 CFR part 9003. Um, and
then in regulation 964, I believe it says you can uh if you have a jurisdictionwide resident council, which is what FAR is, then they can serve as the resident advisory board. So that they're serving in their um in their RAB
role uh as pertains to this plan. Um all right, so uh fun thing about this, you never really know what kind of money you're getting. um it's up to Congress and it's up to proration
um they vote on it but the amounts we anticipate are kind of based on the past. So we're uh anticipating 1.38 million uh annually um for uh 6.9 million over the 5-year
period that it covers. Um throughout time as we proceed more and more through redevelopment our capital funds will decrease as we will have um uh less public housing eligible to receive the
fund is associated with it. Super cool thing to know um housing authority has been moving and is very much moving towards uh becoming a high performer. Uh when that happens, you get 15% more uh to your capital fund. Um which is
awesome. Um another important thing to keep in mind uh that each item in your plan you have uh two years to obligate it, which means you know basically you've set this money for this specific
contract uh and four years to spend it. Um so there's always a clock ticking on the capital fund. Um we've been pretty cool to um find other uh funding sources.
Um affordable housing group helped us uh with exterior improvements a while back. Um we can get grants that bolster any of our career opportunities um that we're funding with some of the capital plan CDBG funds if we if we can get them. um
and the city of Charlottesville and they've been they've been pretty helpful on some of our stuff in the past as well. And uh you can apply for additional HUD grants and we'll talk about the one big one for that, but we we were able to um get extra funding for
2024, which is prior to this five-year plan. Uh as well as additional capital funds for safety improvements. Um, so any of that extra money we get uh makes sure we can do bigger and be
better projects and get them done quicker and we have to get it done because the clock is ticking. So um a while back we kind of set a new way of looking at it with housing authority. Um prior to that housing authority kind of was just peacemealing it. Some of that
was just because the need was so great. Uh but now that we've undergone uh redevelopment on most of our properties, um we're able to focus that money uh a lot better and uh and do big projects.
So um one of the first ones um was our exterior improvements. Um and that work was completed in 2023 for the most part. Uh and it was about $2 million. Uh and
along with that we um replaced our playgrounds uh and other out outdoor amenities and our friends at Affordable Housing Group uh helped us uh cover uh uh a million dollars uh worth of work
for that project. So combining money with our capital fund to get the work done. Um and uh one exterior improvement that needed to happen was the doors that kind of uh got I see
>> took some time to get to. Um and then uh prior to knowing we would have this extra money from HUD for 2024. Uh we knew we needed to do some interior work and we replaced uh appliances, kitchen appliances
uh in the homes. Um, and from there, you know, we all sat down. You probably don't remember because you two are pretty new. Um, we sat down and basically put all the money in the HVAC basket and did this historic
um, uh, effort along with money from the city uh, to bring central air uh, and uh, heating cooling upgrades uh, to our parallel track homes. 62 homes uh, all said and done. um first
public housing in Charlottesville uh to have that happen. Uh so that was the past. Um one thing to keep up uh well I I'll get to that. Um so I mentioned the 2024 money. So at the
very end of 2024 um we were noticed that uh we received an extra one I think is actually 1.2 million not 1.5. Um I'm actually going to fix that right now. uh 1.2 million um for these interior renovations that we
had applied for and uh terribly ambitious. And when that money arrived, we were pretty excited. Um and we'll talk about that actual project. We spent the past year planning for it and now we're implementing it.
um all of our um parallel track homes uh Mickey Drive, Riverside Avenue, Madison Avenue, and the single family homes uh undergoing an interior renovation of everything in the unit, replacing kitchens, uh bathrooms, uh fixtures, new
floors, new paint, new interior doors. Um and the idea is we can get in these homes and get it all done. uh we wouldn't be able to do that without that extra funding, but it does require multiple years worth of capital fund uh
to get it done and it's a lengthy project. Um and uh we're just really super focused on that. Um but we do want to spend the money quickly. Uh as you may be aware, um had a little scare
early on last year. Um and uh that spurred us on to uh not only spend past money that we uh we had obligated uh but it got our whole plan on track. So we're really just focused
on really uh five to six years of a plan and then we can stick to the plan which is really exciting. Um, we will be updating prior uh years capital fund numbers uh to reflect what
we've spent and see what kind of savings we have from the HVAC project and uh that'll help us determine um what's out there for the renovation project as we're putting that all together and getting the real numbers on
that. Um and and this plan that you're going to see uh does reflect some of that uh as we do need uh 2026 money for the renovation project. Um but generally we're sticking to the 5-year plan. All right, enough of that.
Let's go ahead. What's in the plan? Um basically there's three piles in this plan. Uh one is authoritywide and so that benefits the entire housing authority. Um the next is for AMP one which is West
Haven. AMP stands for asset management project. Um and then the rest of it is focused into parallel track amp 4. Um and you'll see uh our other properties uh amps two and three
uh which is Crescent Halls, Sixth Street and South First Street uh have either undergone redevelopment or uh underway uh with redevelopment. uh and they are getting brand new homes and we should not have a need to um
spend capital dollars on those and they have their own way of handling any capital improvement through other sources. Uh because these funds can only uh be used for public housing and not all our redevelopment properties are uh have uh
public housing. Um, so if you break these categories down a little bit, you can see the total fiveyear here in gray. And then each year, you can see we're anticipating 1.38 million each year. Uh,
and these are how they're categorized. But you have to do more than that. You actually have to line item. They call it a budget line item. Uh, and HUD's a stickler for that. So you need to have both the the the item that you want and
uh the dollar amount though there's some fungeability amongst those as you're building your plan and uh working through your capital plan. Um but you can see um about a million over the five years for uh housing authority, 1.3
million for West Haven um over the five years and 4.6 6 million for our parallel track uh efforts. So we break that down further. Uh what's
in the plan authority wide? So these are things that uh you spend that benefit the whole uh housing authority. Uh, one of those is you can take 10% uh and use that as as your management fee basically to make sure that you're
uh maintaining your capital fund and and other things. So, uh we take that 10%. Um you are also allowed to uh include career training opportunities um for residents
um and uh we'll be using some for staff training. So when when housing authority uh uh gets uh uh gets audited uh and the inspire stuff and and and all that stuff
um you know they point out uh deficiencies or things that maybe you need some improvement in and so we have to train the staff. So we do have money in here for both resident training uh and economic self-sufficiency uh as well as staff training. Um I got a
note from Mr. sales. Uh oh, Crescent Halls is now AMP 9. See, that's why I need to check the regulations. Um, and we may use uh some capital funds for Crescent Halls in the
future. Um, as half of the uh half of uh the building is public housing. All right. So, and if you guys need to stop me, we can. But, uh, that's the easy one. This one's pretty easy as well. We talked to West Haven residents
about this and they've actually been kind of in tune over this since we began our planning effort with them. Um, but, uh, a lot of housing authorities do this where they transfer the maximum they can to their operations and that way they avoid a budget line
item. Uh our reason for doing this is um to make sure we have funds there for capital needs uh of West Haven as they're waiting to have um redevelopment. Um as you know or as you
will know we submitted for a LITC application for phase 1A for West Haven yesterday. Uh and so we're proceeding but it's going to take some time before um we get to actually building new stuff there. Um so there are going to be needs
there and what this does ensure that we have enough money to maintain a a livable situation there uh until we hit redevelopment. Uh so this is the fun part. Um, the slide
I'm showing you is the five-year numbers in easy form. So, I think in your packet, Maria sent the actual HUD uh format, which is just ridiculous to try and look at. Um, so we put this in a
nice easy chart for you. Um, but what I actually want to do is skip to the past. Um, what you're looking at here in orange, uh, is 2024. So, we actually we got the 2024 money and uh we got that uh
as we were building the 2025 plan, last year's 5-year plan. Uh and it wasn't really reflected. So, we really have to look back to that because it was such a substantial amount of money and it it's what led us to be able to uh do our
interior renovation project all at once in a sense. Um, so you can see 2024's money, uh, 2.3 million. Uh, we're in the process of updating these numbers. You can see, uh, the entry doors and storm
doors were, uh, completed as was the HVAC. So, that's actually just a portion of the HVAC cost. There were prior years to that uh, to do that. Uh and then you can see um the beginnings of
uh the interior renovation project for the parallel track. Uh and you can see we have it the extra money from 2024 and then you can see uh in 2025. This is what we presented to you all last year
uh and going into 2026. So, we're using um you can see the categories and the dollar amounts. And so, what you're going to see as we look ahead um it's important for us to update those and know where we're realizing savings and
and realize where costs are going up. Um and but basically the plan takes a chunk of money from each year to get there. And then we had looked ahead to the the the next five years. So, for the plan
that you'll be voting on and hopefully support, uh you can see 2026, it's got the remainder of money that's needed there to complete the interior renovation. Uh and then what what we've been uh
working with residents on and and with some other understandings is that after that lengthy process is over um we'll be kind of returning to hit up some of the exterior items that residents had wanted
that weren't such a high priority at the time but go back and do some of the things that we had talked uh with them prior to that. And then uh you know some of that will be fairly expensive. And then we will be um preparing to replace
all hot water heaters um in anticipation of uh a halfb installation project in some of the homes. Um which will be a big uh
complicated and expensive project. uh followed by um exterior parking improvements in year five. So, we we're sticking to the general plan uh as far as we know. John John's clarifying my money. It was
at it's 1.4 uh from 2024. That was extra for our capital fund. Um so, that really is the plan. And it's really that simple. So, we're going to complete the interior renovation project, uh move towards some exterior improvements, including fence
replacement. Um we're going to be working with residents about awnings over the front porches uh versus possibly a full front uh porch. Um just doing the awnings would be cheaper and quicker. Um something more
substantial might be cooler, but it may take us longer and and cost us more. Um, and then the rest is really gearing us towards some um some more uh efficiencies with um water, but also to support that half bathroom um which
residents um are are really excited about. Um and those homes were built very strangely >> in the 1980s uh especially at Mickey Drive. Uh and finding room for a half bathroom where you don't have to go up the stairs
>> Uhhuh. is uh is kind of a a necessity. All right, I think I talked enough about the renovations, but I wanted to just kind of walk you all through it, and if you have questions, John or Quentia can probably answer them. Um we, this was an
original idea, um before we got into the HVAC and all that. Um, and at some point we we thought we would be able to do these renovations and it would take us a number of years. Um, and we would kind of, you know, replace floors one year
and then, you know, do the bathroom the next and all that. But this extra funding uh really put us back on track to saying the general plan is uh the family will be temporarily moved
from their home to a newly renovated home on their site and that's called the hotel unit. Uh and it's fully furnished. Uh got a massive plan for controlling pests and
moving everything. Our relocation coordinator is working with those families uh and they will be moved into that temporary unit for about 2 weeks. Some homes are going to get done faster, others we're going to find other issues
and some may take a little longer. Um but we think, you know, it's going to take two years. Um hopefully all 62 done by 2027. The one of the single family homes which is a duplex has been uh completed already
which is pretty super exciting. Um and like I said that includes a bathroom remodel, kitchen remodel, new floors, interior doors, paint, uh repairs, fittings, fixtures, and of course relocation. Um so uh relocation
is a cost and we are using capital fund money for that effort. Um here is the sort of design scheme. Am I in the right slide? Uh that we've been working with residents. It's been a back and forth
all year long. Um but I think we came up with something really great. Um uh so you can see the colors there. You can see u you know brand new stuff on the floors in particular uh LVT which
are uh you know kind of standard at this point for everything we do. Um integrated lighting um which means they're kind of attached to the unit. They're LED and uh you won't have to worry about changing light bulbs. They will last a long time. Um
you can see bathroom. This one's kind of a little copy paste job here. Um, shower wall. You can see this sort of modern gray uh theme moving throughout. Um, fixtures, everything, lighting, again,
integrated lighting. Um, the the showers are going to be absolutely beautiful. and kitchen. You got I copy and pasted one of our uh appliances that we already uh replaced in I think we finished that
up in 2025 early on. Um uh kitchen counters, cabinets, lighting. Uh residents were real excited about this this light. Um,
and again the floors, uh, and this, uh, this countertop in particular is going to be going to be really beautiful. >> So, that's the plan. I don't know, John, if you wanted to add to any of that or >> I love that one of the paint colors is
agreeable gray. That's pretty great. >> Agreeable gray. >> Agreeable gray. >> That is our new color. >> I love it. >> It's so agreeable. Everybody agrees on the agreeable gray. >> Yeah, it's it's really flexible. I mean, it'll fit. You know, we we talked to
residents, you know, about um not everybody has their same style of furniture. >> Mhm. >> Um so these grays and stuff that are kind of flexible can really fit uh anybody's kind of personal style and
color schemes um in their home. >> I love it. >> Yeah. Everyone's excited to go away from antique white. >> Uhhuh. >> Um I would just add the um just a little c just a little statement at the end saying everything that's in the plan is
what we are looking at over the next 5 years as we get to closer to the budget year and when we receive these funds. Um we do have some um reconciliation that needs to happen with the 2024 money because we did the um Madison Hback job
inhouse and we budgeted like $600,000 for that job. I think we got it done for less than 300. And so there's about a $300,000 savings that we can put into another project. And so there's some money that needs to be shuffled around there. Um, and so that should reduce
what we need to bring forward in these upcoming years on that big remodel. >> And so we may end up moving the hot water tank replacement up because I think we've replaced six of them this year. And so, um, it'll be good to just
go ahead and replace all of them. So then they're all on the same schedule and we can plan it accordingly going forward in the future. Um, plus we should see some savings uh in cost because we we're going from a combo hot water tank that also produces heat to
just a regular standard hot water tank. And so, uh, right now we pay about $3,000 for those Polaris tanks, hot water tanks. Um, when we do the conversion to the tank list, uh, we should have a savings of about $1,000 or
1,500 a unit. Uh, plus our staff was able to install them. Uh, and so we should see a really good savings um, both on operations and on maintenance long term. Uh, because those Polaris hot water tanks are really expensive to replace. And when they go down, you lose
your heat and your hot water. >> Um, but we no longer have that issue because we have central air now at those sites. So, I just wanted to add that little piece that what you see on here are our five-year plan, but when we drill into our annual plan, once we've
known like the total dollars that we'll receive, that's when we'll create what that annual budget looks like based upon the funds and what's actually needed. >> Awesome. Thank you both of you. Yeah, I don't know if you all have
additional questions. >> Um, I have I have a question that may or may not actually be related, but do we have an update on the nonprofit process? >> Yes. So, it should be on the on the council agenda on April 6th.
>> April 6th. Okay. Thank you. >> Yeah. It's the first first meeting in April. >> I'm sorry. It was supposed to be at the upcoming meeting, but they had to bump it uh to get some of our other items passed for West Haven. >> Great. Yeah. No, that's a great Thank
you. >> Cool. Well, we're not done with the capital plan. Um at your March 23rd meeting, uh hopefully you'll approve it. I I personally think uh the plan that uh uh kind of spurred on by Mr. sales and
working with residents uh three or four years ago uh has been really smart and it's been super effective and residents um are super appreciative. So um just throwing that out there. Um
we will be doing uh like I mentioned, I'll be finishing up the poll to kind of gut check that we're right on this plan with residents. Um sort of a sneak peek at polling results. Yeah, we are. Um and
uh we'll be uh trying to reschedu a meeting with FAR and get their comments in by March 20th. Um and then uh you all will have public hearing and approval on March 23rd and then we send it off to HUD and u you know who knows by that
point we may have begun uh the first family's work at Mickey Drive. Um, we're we're that close um to getting that all the way started. >> That's all I got. And Mr. Sales Outdoor
this one statement at the end saying thank everyone involved. I know it takes a lot on the ree development team. uh capital fund is uh I say it's like one of our most important funding sources um because it really is how do you ensure
that the building stays functional, livable, and that the residents are getting what they need. >> And so um it takes a lot to get into it. It's a very little bit of money um compared to our other redevelopment projects that cost like 45 million
>> or or 50 million. Um, but these are the projects that are impacting the folks that are living in the units like right now. And so just like the property on Rich Street, us the redevelopment team working on that um and being able to move those the resident that's in those
units and that resident now gets to see a brand new unit and what they should have been receiving at the very beginning. And so, uh, it takes a lot of work and often times it probably is not recognized as much because it's so
small. Uh, but this has will have one of the larger impacts because it is staying public housing. There's no loss in public housing units with this redevelopment work that's happening at this site unlike what's happening at some of the other amps. And so uh this
these sites due to the work that's happening now really will have the ability to stay as public housing units into the future. Uh and well taking care of public housing units. So I just want to say thank you to the redevelopment team. Uh this is something we have to do
annual but it's not easy and it takes a lot of work and typically uh you really don't get to see the reward. It takes years to see it. Um and so thank you And I just want to add that um we will
be looking to move that first family um the first week of April. >> Awesome. Thank you guys so much. Um it's really heartening to hear that we're keeping the same number of public housing units, public housing. That's fantastic and I'm really happy to hear that.
Yeah, I think it's worth highlighting that we're looking at the housing authority trying to find solutions, trying to figure out what timing and then also doing like that very difficult thing where it's you the realities of you're trying to do redevelopment but also listen to the community. So, it's
it's kind of cool over a year. I could use a better adjective, but over a year seeing what the progress is in my short time here. So, >> yeah. Thank you. Thank you for the work everybody's doing and and the input. >> Yes. Thank you so much.
>> Well, if there's nothing else from staff members or on the CFP plan, we can hop into item five or item four, uh, public comment. Um, again, I see nobody in the, uh, in the chambers and then there's
nobody online. Um so I think we can move from public comment uh over to adjournment. >> Fantastic. >> Uh motion to adjurnn. >> Motion and second. I don't
us think we're ready to go. Thank you again for presentation. >> Thank you all so much for all your work. We appreciate you very much. >> All right. Stay safe everyone. Take care. >> Stay warm. Thank you.
