>> Uh that is uh Martin Highway, Maple and Spruce. >> Okay. It's that entire what's those that block and all those lots the right property. >> Got it. Okay. So moved. >> Second. >> Sorry. >> Mrs. Tory.
>> Yes. >> Ms. Evans. >> Yes. >> Mr. Montgomery. >> Yes. >> Mr. Dick. >> Yes. >> Mayor Gilmore. >> Yes. Resolution 2025-175-12 amending the authorized withdrawal amount from the affordable housing trust
fund for the extension of expiring controls as required by the new uniform housing affordability controls regulations for 107 and 159 Tartan Lane. A motion and a second. >> May I May I before you motion? Yep. Uh
we have been communicating a lot with our administrative agent CGPNH, right? >> As well as our affordable housing planner as well as uh Mr. Gillespie. >> As you may or may not be aware, the new U-Hack rules came into effect what was
it last Monday, John? Um >> yeah, very recently. >> Very recently. So, we're all in kind of a state of limbo and trying to figure out dates when the new U-Hack rules should take into effect as it relates to
agreements that were already set in place and agreements for future rounds um for these affordability controls. John, you might be able to explain it better, but the resolution before them, not the amended. >> Yeah. when you extend when you extend
controls, but depending on circumstances, you may be offering the folks who live there uh monetary compensation in order for them to agree to extend those controls. And so we had fixed the number of 10,000 previously because the new rules weren't in effect. And that was that was consistent at
least with the old rules and we you know we always want to turn square corners. So rather than saying give it to us for free, you know, we offer 10,000, >> right? >> Um that may still I don't think it is the case. It may still be the case on one of those properties, but the better course is the new regulations
are based upon a sliding scale depending upon the assessed value of the property. And so the numbers in the resolution that we've given you are a range rather than just giving the administrative agent a blind check to go ahead and do it. Even though it's really not a blind
check, the rights define it. You've established a range within [clears throat] those ranges. I think it's 12607 and 3607. Um the administrative agent can make that offer to the property owner to extend and then that money will be made available on the affordable housing
trust fund when we finalize the spending plan which we have to do by March 15th anyway. We will then um ratify whatever that number is right and that will show up exactly as it is in the new in the amended spending plan for the fourth round.
>> Is it worth doing it twice then? Is that what I'm hearing? >> Yeah, it is. It is because what you're doing now is rather than waiting until maybe the end of January, if the um if CBB&H is successful in getting this to closing between now and even the 7th or 6th of January,
>> you want to let them go and have the money available to get the extension on this one and then the other one may follow. There's one of them being held up a little bit, but one of them may follow in between the 6th and the 27th, right? So, the best thing is to it's sort of like when you do salaries, right? You have an ordinance establishes
ranges and then later you do a resolution that fixes that year's salary within the range. Same thing here. You're giving the admission agency the authority within this range to go ahead and spend that money to get us those credits for those two controls and then we will ratify that with the adoption of
the spending plan later. >> So So the resolution that's in front of you does not include the ranges. I failed to make copies of those and put those in your binder. Um, I have it on my desk, but it's everything that John said. It is everything that is
highlighted, um, underscored in here, but to include the range of 12,000. What was the amount again, John? Um, >> I'm sorry. >> I think it's 12,607 would be the lower range and 30,607 would be the higher range. And again, it's a it's a
percentage of a range whatever Jim Mancini says the assessed market value of the property is. Well, >> value, >> right? Plus, it also is factored, what's also factored in is the term, the length, how many years that tenant has been in there is also part of that that
calculation. So, >> it's like several um factors that go into the calculation. >> You know, it's a it's a it's a relatively reasonable proposition to get credit for a unit that's already been built, but
it's a new credit for the fourth round. It's already there. But we're extending that. We're extending the opportunity for both the homeowner and and then we get credit for doing that. >> Should we amend it with this with the numbers in there? Is that helpful? >> Well, I think uh >> Yeah. So, I think Go ahead, Paul.
>> Well, also just so the governing body knows the other property is going to go towards round five. >> Mhm. >> One of them is for round four as per our housing element fair share plan as in our plan. The other one will go towards round five because we've already met our senior quota with Randolph estates.
>> Right. So that will be deferred over. >> This goes to the seller. [clears throat] >> Yes. [snorts] >> It goes to the seller. >> Goes to the owner, >> right? >> Or the owner or the >> to the current owner, not the the buyer, >> not the buyer. >> Um, so John, how do you want to
procedurally handle it? I have the pro the correct resolution in my office and it's everything that we just verbally reviewed. So, if I remember correctly, and I don't have in front of me, but there is language in the resolution in front of you that says the administrative agent is hereby authorized, but within the
body of the warehouse clauses in the document that Paul revised, there is a reference to a range between $12,67 and $30,67 based upon the assessed market value of the property and how the U-Hack the new
U-Hack rules um calculate that figure. So what you're the resolution can be adopted with the understanding that the the recital have a clause in them that has that range and then the now therefore be resolved that
has a clause in there that says to the effect the administrative agents hereby authorized and directed to pay to the owner of the property uh the sum of money between 12,607 and 30,607 as calculated in accordance with the new
UAC guidelines. worse without a factor in what Paula did. And if you adopt the resolution with that understanding, you can move forward and there is money in the affordable housing trust fund >> and it is for a longer period of time than it originally was on there.
>> Yeah, it's 40 years. >> Good. One less thing I have to worry about. So, sorry for so rudely interrupting your motion and request for a second. >> Yep. Okay, we need a motion in a second.
>> Motion. >> Second. >> Mr. Dick, >> yes. >> Mrs. Evans, >> yes. >> Mr. Montgomery, >> yes. >> Mrs. Tory, >> yes. >> Mayor Gilmore, >> yes. >> Okay, we have a business license to approve. I need a motion in a second, please. >> So moved.
>> Second. >> Mr. Montgomery? >> Yes. >> Mr. Dick? >> Yes. Yes. >> Miss Evans? >> Yes. >> Mrs. Tory? >> Yes. >> Mayor Gilmore? >> Yes. >> Comments from the public? Is there one of you? [laughter] >> Nothing. And still no one online.
>> No. I will close comments from the public. Comments from the administrative. I don't have any other than uh happy new year. And I'm sad to say that this is Leela's last formal meeting.
But again, all the things all the things Got it. >> And thank you everybody for a wonderful year. >> Thank you, Paula. >> Thank you. Comments from the solicitor. >> Well, first of all, I I I really apologize for not being there, but if
you saw all the meds they gave me yesterday, [laughter] probably standing outside that window behind Jim looking in. That would be too close. Um, so I I do apologize. Even though I wish I was there, but I want to thank you for for just allowing me to sit in that chair
that I would be in had I been there for the past year. It's always been a privilege. It still is a privilege and I I thank you for that. And I wish you all a really happy and a very healthy new year. >> Same to you. >> Thank you. Same to you, John. >> Happy New Year, John.

Um I'm looking forward to the reorg meeting and working with the new committee for the benefit of all Hannesport. But I would like to thank
Mayor Lela Gilmore again for her nine years service on township committee and I know we'll be seeing plenty of her in the future on boards and commissions. Thank you to everyone for coming [laughter] and happy new year. >> Okay, Mr. Dick.

I don't know of too many people that know exactly how many homeless people are in their town and where they are and what they need. But Andy does. And Andy is reaching out and he has me involved. and
I'm freezing my dinners and I'm sending my cookies and it's really easy to do that. But I really really want to commend Andy. I think that is exceptional. So, thank you Leela. I will miss you. >> I'm not going anywhere. >> I know, but you'll be around. Yes. So,

very few words. [laughter] >> Okay. But today I'm going to make an exception. And I've written a few things that would be considered a book. >> Oh boy. >> Set the timer, Jen. Five minutes. And I
could go into >> Should I pull out my timer? [laughter] I could start with um complaining about various things that have happened recently, but I won't.
And I could start with listing all the hundreds of thousands of invoices I've signed off on and checks that I've signed. But I won't. And I could say something about all the
committees I've been on and the things that I've done, but I won't. But I will thank everyone in this building and the public works building for all the hard work they do for this town and
how they've backed me up and helped me out and taught me different things. And I would like to thank all the volunteers that we have in this town
because it's more than most people know or think about. people that are there to answer the call when we need and how much more it makes me appreciate this town
that I live in and have adopted after my 17 other towns that I lived in. [laughter] [clears throat] the people that I've worked with here on the uh committee over the years.
Picture showed up the other day and now that none of them are left, including me, it's good to think back, but it's even better to think ahead.
And there's still much I believe I can do in this town for this town and for all the people in this town, no matter who they are or where they came from or where they're going.
And that is a privilege that I hope you all get to appreciate at some later date. [clears throat] Without our township professionals to help guide
this rudderless ship, it would be so much difficult, much more difficult. And I am just amazed in all the my years the
the amount of knowledge that I've been able to pick up hopefully and retain hopefully and pass on to others means
to me. I'd like to give you all a big hug, but I will continue to be here. I will see you, most of you all the time. I'll continue to be a pain in the neck here because I my car automatically goes
to the building. [snorts] Good. And I just wish everybody the best of health because that's most important in the new year.
Much happiness and much love. And Andy, >> thank you. >> There are no words, >> but I really appreciate you coming forward with your program. starting with
the kids and we threw tacked it into the mayor's wellness campaign and [snorts] and I hope that you continue to go forward because it's it's a blessing. >> Thank you. >> It truly is a blessing to this town.
So now I won't ramble anymore. [clears throat] >> And um like I said, I wish everybody a happy and healthy new year. my friends. I will still see you. It's good to work with everybody and I
hope to continue to have a good working relationship with everyone. And with that, I think we have a few bills to pay. Last one of them, please. We could pull Yeah, if we could pull >> um 25-00795
