D

Tonight and he was sent information about the read about my commission- an.

D

Introductory packet that I give all new commissioners as well as he was cid.

D

Notification of the meeting, so I will follow up with him after the meeting.

D

Later on this week to see why he wasn't able to join us tonight, and as I.

D

Mentioned last month we received a special allocation of cdbg, oh midnight,.

D

Tea money, so I've been working on the special application for that funding as.

D

Well, as an application process timeline period of time- and hopefully we will be.

D

Able to release that within the next couple of weeks and also larry, and I.

D

Have been working with the potential developer for the 17:30 south walnut.

D

Street from a night moves property and to work on a kind of like not a funding.

D

Agreement but I guess you would call a memorandum of understanding, so we hope.

D

To have that completed by the end of this week, and hopefully we can bring it.

D

To the next commission meeting and then the the redevelopment commission or the.

D

Hand apartment through his home dollars acquired a lot on 10th street, where we.

D

Helped a homeowner to build a house that house caught on fire. The property went.

D

To tax sales we purchased it back and then we had to convey the property from.

D

The hand department to the hand apartment incurred the redevelopment.

D

Commission, so we will be he now looking to dispose of that property. We've.

D

Received appraisals on it, and so we look to put um a notice of beard for.

D

Disposition of the property- and hopefully we will have that ready either.

D

By the next read about the commission meeting or the one after that,.

D

So that's all I have. Are there any questions.

D

Oh you've been busy, I tried here. Is there a legal report just just briefly.

I

We will have a resolution to the agenda tonight. It's going to be resolution, 2026.

I

And the gist of that resolution is because it's been brought to our.

I

Attention there've been some individuals that have formed on 621 north rhonda.

I

Street, which is a redevelopment commission property- this had happened.

B

Last year, and it seems like with regrowth of some underbrush and achama.

I

Has returned? It will become necessary for us to send in a team of individuals.

I

Wearing appropriate safety equipment to clearly encana and to clear some of the.

I

Underbrush to make sure that we don't create any unsafe situation both for the.

I

Individuals residing in the encampment, but also the surrounding neighborhoods.

I

So that's gonna be resolution. 1620 I'll circulate that here and then, when the.

I

Appropriate time comes, I can read it into the record and share my screen with.

I

Everybody ever since what that'll be all right and we can we we're gonna- have to.

A

Talk about that a little bit too too, if you guys don't mind because last time.

A

Last time we got some grief for that in the paper and facebook and all that.

A

Other stuff so yeah we'll discuss it.

A

What-What-What-What, let's see who's next is that it larry or do we have any okay.

A

Is there a treasurer's report just to say that we had our annual budget.

C

Advance with the council- and we did add some extra information talking about.

C

Potential revenue losses will be monitoring, revenues that come in.

C

Obviously, with tif revenues, those are property taxes and, if you've been.

C

Reading the news there's some concerns on the accounting side, the best values.

C

Dropping matically, obviously, that would hit tif.

C

Revenues first because we collect above the baseline, so we'll see how those go.

C

The first round we're not panicking on anything. We have sufficient reserves to.

C

Make you know bond payments, but you know we will be keeping the rtc up to date as.

C

We get information about where revenues are heading. That's it all right. Is there.

A

A ctp update report yeah it's not it's not report per se about that, but I do.

E

Have a I wanted to bring everybody's attention to something and jeff feel.

E

Free to jump in if you'd like, but the so back in the end of 2018.

E

Some of you were on the rbc already as you or not, which is why we're bringing.

E

It up already see, I think it was resolution 1870 in favor of supporting.

E

Cdfi friendly bloomington and allocating a million dollars to cdfi friendly.

E

Bloomington as as capital that they might be able to put into deals as they.

E

Develop their organization and started to create cdfi deal flow into.

E

Bloomington, so that was that was approved and- and we have not yet issued.

E

That payment, but they have in the meantime, since that time, created the.

E

Organization built up their their processes and their and they're.

E

Basically ready to activate- and in fact it's a pretty good time for them to do.

E

That in this crisis, so what they've done is they've approached us and they said.

E

Alright, you know we we have. We got your original approval for that million. We've.

E

Built up our organization, can we now bill you for that and and receive that.

E

Million dollars, so we can start doing our work, so we jeff and I talked a little bit and we wanted to make sure that you know.

E

With before we went ahead and and did anything, we brought everybody up to.

E

Speed on that original approval and that we, you know raised it with you all so.

E

That you knew that this request had been made and that that we were, you know.

E

Intending to fulfill so, if I don't know, if you want to add.

E

Anything no just to remind you know, as alex said, you know, there's been a period.

C

Of time that's transpired since then, so, rather than just everybody seeing a.

C

Million dollar transfer on it on a claims form. We just want to bring it.

C

Back up that they're now ready for us to disperse those funds and we'll be working with them. Do that thanks to larry who worked very hard on getting.

C

That agreement set up so that it would work with the requirements for the use.

C

Of tif funds- and he can answer any other questions related to that any questions.

A

Guys are we good okay, so these two, so I understand these funds already.

J

Encumbered by by particular promises, or is it just that they will be available.

J

Now to go into the process by which you consider applications for funding. What.

C

We part of the reason why we been working on this is to set up a process.

C

Where the funds would qualify for use with restrictions of the tip, so we.

C

Believe we've worked out a process where we'll be able to transfer the million.

C

Dollars over to them, it was encumbered by the funding agreement, so in the sense.

C

That we've been holding back and talked through several scenarios on how the.

C

Funds would be distributed, but larry was able to work his magic so that that they.

C

Will create a fund we'll move the money over and then there's certain reporting.

C

Requirements back to the staff, as well as the rdc on the use of those funds.

C

Going forward yeah, I just wanna, say that's exactly correct, so they will have.

I

To create, what's considered a neighborhood development fund because.

I

With this particular money they can use the money in the ways of the rtc is.

I

Given powers to use it and the ways is to fund and establish a.

I

Neighborhood development corporation, which in part helps with affordable.

I

Housing within and serving the tip, and so that's what this funding would be.

I

Used for that's what we would expect them to keep records of for every dollar.

I

Expended and report back, just as just as we would have to do if we're expending.

I

The money so that there's a detailed accounting of what this money is used.

I

For what is leverage more in the projects and speaking with cdfi friendly.

I

Employment and they're pretty encouraged and pretty excited that they'll be able.

I

To work work with us in it and focusing this in the developments in the tip and.

E

Eric, if your question also included whether or not they themselves had.

E

Encumbered funds right, so that's the other half of it. They they are only.

E

Getting going now so I mean they have not, and they have not committed any of.

E

These funds, yet in any formal way to any projects, but but they you know see this.

E

Opportunity- that's sort of upon us and I think that can step in and start to do.

E

That so, I think, the sooner that we can get over to them the funds that they can.

E

Get to deal flow go thanks, so it'll be on them them to publicize them to make.

J

Clear the availability and the requirements that will come with it is.

J

That great okay, thanks.

A

Okay, just a quick question, so this is just really informative because the.

G

Action on this has already been taken previously and whatever contingencies,.

G

Are out there has been cleared? Yes, that's correct,.

C

Okay, okay, any other questions; okay, let's go into new business. The next item of.

A

Business is resolution 20-24 approval of the 2020 neighborhood improvement grants.

A

Who who would like to speak in regards to this? I will.

K

Angela van roy, so just to give you a quick rundown of the process here we had.

K

Four letters of intent received for neighborhood improvement grants on the.

K

17Th of february of those four, we actually had three who submitted formal.

K

Applications on the 23rd of march council members, we have five council.

K

Members cindy is one of them, as you probably all know as you, she volunteered.

K

At a recent meeting, also roy aten from planning and transportation make.

K

Nickeled from public works and then I had two representatives from.

K

Neighborhood associations, sharon yarber, who is from matlock heights and linda.

K

Woods, who is from eastern heights and the council? We did everything remotely.

K

As you can imagine, so they were provided with all of the documentation for the.

K

Applications reviewed everything in the middle of that process. We had to reduce.

K

The total budget by half, so we started out with $30,000 and ended up with 15, so.

K

I got back in touch with all of the applicants and requested that they give.

K

Me new budgets scale down the projects in such a way. Let us know what they.

K

Could get accomplished with a much smaller amount of money too, and still.

K

Have something that was worth doing and could be, it could actually be.

K

Accomplished so they all did an excellent job of that brought their.

K

Budgets down substantially and when the council met on the 27th of april, just.

K

Last monday, we they did agree to fund all of the requests in full.

K

Because, then, with the reductions of the budgets that was actually within the.

K

$15,000 total budget, so just to give you an idea of the projects that are.

K

Involved the bloomington housing authority residents council, who has been.

K

Funded numerous times in the past, so I'm sure this is for those of you who've.

K

Been on the commission in the past you, this will be familiar to you. They will.

K

Be offering again this year, they're back to school bash where they provide, they.

K

Have I think, 317 students currently living in residence at limited housing.

K

Authority properties and they provide school supplies, a backpack and hygiene.

K

Products for kids for back to school, in addition to that this year, they had.

K

Requested money to install three informational kiosks at three different.

K

Locations within their properties to try to encourage and improve the.

K

Communication among the residents there and they put these in play in two.

K

Different locations of walnut woods, which is down off of I'm miller, drive so.

K

That's quite a bit removed from where their main offices off of 11th street.

K

And then another one within the 11 street sort of larger complex to the.

K

West, where there is a new park there and they wanted a kiosk there as well.

K

Because they do get folks from that part of their residents, saying that they.

K

Don't feel like they're really in the loop of what's going on, so that was an in addition. So in the back to school, bash, plus the three kiosks and their.

K

Total budget that he requested was four thousand five hundred and thirty two.

K

Dollars and seventy eight cents, I'm sorry, seventy four cents. The second.

K

Application was from the park, ridge, east neighborhood association, and they are in.

K

The midst of a multi-year project they did get funding last year, a substantial.

K

Amount of funding from neighborhood improvement grant over twenty three thousand dollars, they're working on a project in conjunction with parks and.

K

Recreation in the park ridge, east park- and they have done a very good job of.

K

Eliminating invasive plants from a large area of the park and replacing them with.

K

Natives they've, a butterfly garden they've got a walking.

K

Path and some gates to mark things out they're doing a lot of work. Then they.

K

Have a lot of neighborhood involvement to do that, so they actually scaled their.

K

Project that substantially originally, they were asking for over $17,000 and.

K

They ended up asking for and receiving three thousand four hundred and eighty.

K

Eight dollars so they've reduced the the scope of the project. It is ongoing and.

K

They have a good group of folks in the neighborhood who are continuing to work.

K

On that on their own as well, the final one was from prospect hill.

K

Neighborhood association, specifically their committee for rose hill cemetery,.

K

Again, they had gotten funding in the past as well for some improvements there.

K

This year they were asking for money for a bench and 25 section signs which would.

K

Help to allow people to fuck more easily find specific grave sites in the.

K

Cemetery just to be able to identify what section of the cemetery that you.

K

Were in when you're on the ground and with their skilled back version, we were.

K

Able able to find 12 signs, they eliminated the bench this time around.

K

About twelve of the original 25 signs that we requested and their total budget.

K

For that is six thousand seven hundred and eighty dollars so with all three of.

K

Those the commission decided that it would sorry to click the council, the.

K

Neighborhood grant council decided that they could go ahead and offer to fund.

K

All those and the total amount out of the fifteen thousand dollar budget. It.

K

Comes to fourteen thousand eight hundred dollars and seventy four cents, so I am.

K

Presenting this to you all and requesting that you approve those funds.

K

I'd be happy to take any questions, any questions from any commissioners. I would.

G

Just like to thank angela for her leadership and working with youth groups.

G

That it was no small task to go back to them and say you know, thanks for your.

G

Original submission, but now I need you to sharpen your pencil and she.

G

A really good job, and I also appreciate the group's willingness to work with us.

G

Definitely made our decision comprehensive and and somewhat easier.

G

For sure I just want to say looking down here at.

H

The list of grant requests, plus the additional funding that's leveraged with.

H

This, I think this is a good deal. Okay, that was david, walters, hello, david.

A

Yeah, oh, that was steve, walter yeah, okay, no else, sorry, all right, any other.

A

J

Everybody who do you want me to that'll work.

A

Somebody here yes approve was, I dave walter. Yes,.

I

Cindy keaney yeah all right. Thank you very much appreciate it. We have the next.

A

Side of a business is resolution. 20-25 approval of change, orders for the west.

A

17Th street reconstruction project, who would like to speak in regards to this.

A

And that's my lease with planning and transportation beam. Long azimuth has.

J

Been providing the construction inspection services for the last 17.

J

Project, as most of you are aware, there were delays on the project, pushing the.

J

Completion date until mid june of this year,.

J

Bl ends original contract ran through the end of last year, so this supplement.

J

Would cover the cost of their inspection services through the end of the project.

J

This june, they are anticipating additional six hundred forty eight hours.

J

Of work at a cost of eighty eight thousand five hundred dollars, we would.

J

Only pay for the hours actually used, so the eighty eight thousand five hundred.

J

Is a not to exceed amount if we use less than that and that's what we would pay.

J

For we're not responsible for the whole amount, if we do not use it, I can take.

J

Any questions you may have any any questions, folks from any redevelopment.

A

Commissioners or comments what's alright after date of completion, now, as of now.

J

It is june 14th, hey, is this reasonable? I mean what what is it? Was it their fault.

A

Was it I mean here we had the utility delays.

J

And delays for the rock excavation, so they were there. You know there's.

J

Providing the inspection services for the project, so this is just a.

J

Continuation of their services at the same rate, so they were previously.

J

Provided at okay, all right can we have a motion. This is david wolter I'll make a.

H

Motion we approve resolution 20-25.

G

Second, are a second all, those in favor don griffin, I exam cindy, can arnie and.

G

Nick kaname yeah eric sandwich all right, no motion passes unanimously. Thank you.

I

Thank you and let's go to let's go. We have at that extra resolution. Don't.

A

We will have resolution 20 26 that larry allen wanted to add on to this.

A

What what is the I don't remember what it is, though, what one clarification I.

I

Would like to note that I'm not personally wanting to add this to the.

I

Rbc's agenda for this is resolution, and I don't know if christina can share her.

I

Screen if she can pull it up, if not, I don't have permission to share my screen.

I

But I'll happily read it into the record. This is resolution 28 26. This has also.

I

Been emailed out to you, so you should have it at this moment: okay, email boxes, its approval of entry and cleanup of 621 north roger street.

I

Whereas the redevelopment commission of the city of bloomington owns property at.

I

621 with roger street, which is south of west 11th street east defender lumber.

I

And north, or the elan trail recently has come to the city's.

I

Attention but there has been unlawful entry into the erasies property and.

I

Encampment has been established. Finally, a property which has raised significant.

I

Public health and safety concerns for the individuals within the encampment.

I

And surrounding neighborhoods, where the city staff have negotiated a contract.

I

For professional services, cleanup crew, which will use safety protocols to.

I

Remove the encampment, whereas the city of bloomington public resource officers,.

I

Have notified individuals within the encampment that they must vacate the.

I

Property, whereas the estimated cost of the removal shall not exceed $2,500.

I

$2,500 and whereas there are sufficient funds in the rtc general fund, although.

I

Otherwise, known as the floor floor floor account to cover the cost of the.

I

Services with this resolution, the rtc would approve the entry and completion.

I

Of the services to make safe the property of 621 more on the street, the rac would further approve an expenditure not to exceed.

I

$2,500, the controller would take the funds from the rdcs general account for.

I

Four: four 1515: zero: zero, zero; five; three: nine nine zero and nothing in the.

I

Resolution would remove the requirement for the rbc's, normal expenditure and.

I

Approval procedures, the rtc would request that a follow-up report be given.

I

To the commission, following the work detailing the precautions taken and the.

I

Remedy for future security of the property and the funding and the.

I

Resolution shall expire august, 1st 2020, unless explicitly extended by the rtc.

I

And donnell griffin president, you already see what the author has to sign.

I

The agreement for the services on behalf of the okay: how can we, how can we stop.

A

This from there's two questions on the title: how do we stop this from happening.

A

And again I mean: are there there? Are there a bunch of trees that that provide.

A

Cover that pattern that are expandable trees, are they that you know and then.

A

The other question is: are there some people on on the redevelopment.

A

Commission who, who might have a problem with displacing of homeless folks so.

A

Those are questions that we probably should raise a little bit talk about. I.

A

Would think I am happy to answer the first question. The first question is.

I

That there is there specifically underbrush, so it's not particularly trees that are causing any issues. There's kind of bushes and underbrush on.

I

That property that obscure a relatively small portion of the property from the.

I

Street view, so can we get rid of him can't we can we actually get rid of all.

A

That underbrush, yes, that would be the that would be. The plan- is to get rid of.

I

That underbrush and clear that out so that at least that part's visible from.

I

The street okay, I like that. That's one of the reasons why just to address maybe.

I

Some of the second concerns I can't answer, obviously, for the commission.

I

But one of my questions was whether we've engaged our public resource.

I

Officers, so the city of bloomington police department have public resource.

I

Officers available for these types of services, we have engaged those officers.

I

To work with the individuals in the camp, they were the ones that provided notice.

I

And I think, as part of the reporting back to the rdc, I think it would be fair.

I

To see it, what services were offered to these individuals and to see what.

I

Happened to them afterwards, if we, to the extent that we can possibly tell in.

I

Terms of the services offered so very part of the services that the public.

G

Resource officers are engaged in is that trying to relocate these folks to better.

G

Accommodations and working with them on kind of their next step, cindy that was.

I

My understanding, I would want to have a little bit of a deeper dive and.

I

Conversation before I could say affirmative, lead over saying yes, but my.

I

Understanding from from talking to adam eason, the director of public works, who.

I

Has kind of been spearheading some of these activities that that was exactly.

I

Some of the work that they were doing, they were not only notifying them, but.

I

Also, giving them options of safe places to go and we've had this problem. Some of.

I

Not just on our dc property, this is obviously the rac fire there's been.

I

Several news stories: we've had some candidates around the west side of town as well. I've had problems with fire and just they pose a public safety concern.

I

Public health and safety concerns, so the the residents of the camp themselves.

I

Just because they they can kind of be dangerous places. So that's one of the.

I

Things we want to make sure that we're addressing, but as humanely as we.

I

A

Any other questions or concerns, I guess, to build on john's original.

J

Question so our our action today is really pursuant on its following a.

J

Separate decision, which belongs to other people that this indeed is going to be.

J

The policy that is that that these folks who are here will be removed from that.

J

Site for one of a better term that is, am I correct and saying that our action is.

J

Given that that is taking place or will take place, and that has been decided by.

J

Other more appropriate sources, given that we are saying now, we find it an.

J

Appropriate use of our funds to go in and I'm not sure what we're cleaning.

J

Exactly and involved, but we are authorizing use of funds for some.

J

Physical improvement of the site, you understand the distinction that I'm.

J

Asking about, I think so pleased, obviously correct me if I'm wrong and.

I

Misunderstood your question, so the funds that would be expended here.

I

Is that there is a team of individuals that we're full ppe, as we've heard about.

I

So much in terms of literally dealing with hazardous materials, potential.

I

Bodily wastes things like that needles that we don't know whether they exist on.

I

That has been there before in the past, and so we've taken these precautions so.

I

That is what the funds are is to hire this team. That's specially trained in.

I

Terms of that, and and removing if there are belongings left behind, which is not.

I

Uncommon or if there are like, I said, if it's, whether it's needles are waste or.

I

Other types of trash, or where to try this that this this group would be.

I

Trained to remove that safely, no, it wouldn't pose a harm to city staff.

B

Obviously, people who are untrained doing it or wouldn't pose any harm to the.

I

Residents, I believe that also part of this funding, or at least discussed as.

I

Part of the solutions, as I mentioned, to don, which would be removal of.

I

So that would require bringing in of some sort of machinery. We have people.

I

That are already contracted with the city that do this on a regular basis.

I

They would come in and kind of remove that underbrush and kind of clear out.

I

That that land to create an open space, so that would be a little bit safer in.

I

Terms of just the visibility so that police officers, driving by and.

I

Controlling the area could clearly see what's happening. What's going on, there.

I

And to make sure that the property is clear, I get what you're saying eric.

A

You're saying we're not deciding on whether or not to to act as a police.

A

Like we're, not we're not calling for that, we're we're just we're just paying.

A

For cleanup, basically you're basica, yeah yeah and that's correct.

I

The the policy decision- isis, I suppose, is not what the rtc is decided here. The.

I

Rtc is literally granting entry for these services to be performed and.

I

Paying for the services yeah, I think it's an important distinction.

J

Particularly if one in the earth moving equipment, you know coming into the site.

J

And saying who sent those? You know it's kind of important to kind of trace the.

J

The path of decision making, I want it to be clear where we sit on that path. I.

F

Have a couple of questions for larry? um How many people will be displaced and.

F

Are there any children there good sue? I don't know the answer to that question.

I

That's a good question. I don't know the answer to that question. How many people.

I

There are, if there are any children there. My understanding is that there have been no children there. I didn't get notice of each other, but I will.

I

Certainly follow up on that. I'm happy thanks larry. I also wonder what what is.

F

This property that is owned by the rdc. What is it part of the b line? I'm just.

F

Wondering why we own this property, so this is a this- is property that went.

I

Originally in went front of the b line, all the way north to 11th street part.

I

That was closest to b line was sold by the rdc a few years ago for the.

I

Core development, so there's now a housing project and apartment, complex.

I

There immediately to the south. The thought is that this these are basically.

I

Two parcels that sit north of that pet poor property that apartment building.

I

And that these are ideal for supporting development of the trades district, so.

I

This is where we aim to potentially put some workforce housing that would serve.

I

The trades district in the future, so that's why the rtc owns this property as.

I

Part of the strategic redevelopment of the trade switch. Thank you very much and.

F

I assume this will be like the last time a cleanup went, a cleanup occurred there.

F

Were staff there there were social workers there, resources to help relocate.

F

People, if they wanted that, yes, that's my- we wouldn't deviate from that practice.

I

As far as I know, I asked if it was gonna be the same as previously, and I was.

I

Thank you, but by keep in mind we have nothing to do with that are we are we're.

A

Talking about doing it's doing the cleanup before that right, I understand.

F

They've done, I was just curious about because it matter what we're authorizing.

F

Or not the city as a whole is gonna, get blamed like last time, so I just figured.

F

The more information we had about the justification, the better cuz- I don't.

F

Think anybody wants to displace folks if they have no place to go. But I.

F

Understand the policy decision, I need you to get out of the street, though it's.

F

One of melanie's, great backgrounds; okay, all right, thank god; okay,.

A

All right any other questions folks or concerns.

A

It's let's move for a motion. I guess this is cindy. Can arnie. I move approval.

L

The last half hour to get our 40 minutes to get on for some reason. My just.

L

Computer would not allow soom to work, so I'm looking forward to working with.

L

Everyone on this commission and I'm if I do have questions about the commission, I.

L

Hope that I can reach out to each one of you for some guidance on how things have.

L

Been done, okay, thank you, backless donald. I.

C

Neglected and so did alex to say that we're on the garages is progressing and.

C

We have the first bid package out on 4th street, which is foundations and some.

C

Related items- and I believe those are due may 18th, so we will have an award.

C

For those coming up and larry will coordinate that with you don on the.

C

Opening of those and then the awards would come, we would inform the rtc of.

C

The results of those obviously we've contracted with wilhelm, to build a.

C

Garage but they have to follow our procedures for bidding, so we don't.

C

Necessarily have to approve those, there will be documents that we do to prove.

C

With wilhelm, but it just want to give you an update on where we stand with us.

C

Ok, you know what I do have another question: um what at the you know, I've.

A

Had a chance to tour the the park, the switchyard park a couple of times over.

A

The last several weeks and there's that there hasn't been anything getting done.

A

I haven't seen anything I haven't seen any movement. I will defer to parks. I had.

C

Not talked today, since he came to our last meeting to get approved for.

C

Additional funds, they do have deadlines in that contract. So I assume that.

C

Weather permitting that work will be getting done. I can tell you that we did.

C

In cooperation with switcher park and well brothers, there was a lot of dirt.

C

That had to be removed from the trades district garage site to lower that to.

C

Build the foundations and the bottom level, and we were able to take several.

C

Cubic yards of dirt there, so I know that there has been work going on the weather.

C

Has been kind of iffy on that, but we were able to deliver them dirt that they.

C

Can use, and they would not have to pay for then and held us out as well. Okay,.

A

Okay, donna, if I'm not mistaken, is it may 24th, is that the official date the work.

L

Was supposed to be done or else arrows assessed, it was november of laughs. I.

A

Think it's november of last year help me out help me out. There were two there.

I

Were two days discuss so in the city's communications? Originally, it was.

I

Understood that everything, except for seasonal plantings, would be done for the.

I

November deadline, and that was communicated to well that did not happen.

I

However, in the contract there is an ultimate completion date for all.

I

Services- and that is, may 24 okay and that isn't a tune of how much again it.

I

It kind of depends on how you would calculate it, but there there would be.

I

For anything any date, this that's not excusable and notice, notice to the city.

I

Past the may 24th deadline for sure there is liquidated. There are liquidated.

I

Damages that are on a per day basis, I think it's $2,000 per day, not for every.

B

Day you run over that, but there have been three occasions. Well, that's been.

I

Ongoing, obviously, as david luda last time, and everybody is clear that there's.

I

A strong expectation for that may 24th deadline to be the full completion of.

I

The park yeah, there's yeah. Good luck, I mean not just everybody. Do we have any.

A

Other trick contracts with widow brothers right now, any other deals that.

A

We're working on with them: no, they did the oversight, construction management.

C

Services for a trades district and the kiln either what.

A

And we were very satisfied. We had no issue that we had a complete opposite.

C

Experience with that's, I have things than we did with the actual construction.

C

Down it's for sharon: burke, okay, okay! Alright! That's that was you.

A

Answered my questions for now, so any other questions. Anybody got anything.
