and open discussion about their thoughts on rent leveling. Um, and that they will apply a 5% discount or 5% cap, I should say, on rent increases
from the start date of January through the rest of the year. uh it will be reflected as follows. The person will see the amount of rent they could have charged
under the real estate tax increase. There will be an applied discount shown whatever that discount amount is and the final amount is what they pay. Uh that is how they are going to deliver it to the residents. Um, other than that, I don't see any other
discussions that we need unless anybody has anything they want to bring up at this point. Okay, hearing none, I will open this meeting to the public on any subject limited to five minutes maximum per person. Anyone wishing to say anything,
please come to the microphone. Uh, state your name uh and Uh, first let me just say this. Uh, do I have a motion to open it to the public? >> All in favor? Okay, we're now open. >> Would you raise your right hand, ma'am?
