Moving on to item four, which is new business and item 4.1 is the first amendment purchase of real property at 8313, Blaisdell Avenue. May we have the staff report.

B

Thank you, chair, huhim, Erica, Coleman, HRA administrator, um so for this item and actually the next this board, this body did approve the ability for the purchase, voluntary, voluntary purchase of a real property at 8313, Blaze Blaisdell Avenue. And what has happened is we had a purchase agreement that is executed and approved on both parties, so buyer as the HRA seller as the private owner?

B

However, there have been some um some matters that were raised on the title evidence, and so it just takes a little bit more time and work to work through the title to make sure it's clear title when we purchase this property, therefore being able to guarantee or to provide a warranty for clear title when we subsequently purchase the pr sell the property, whether it has an improvement on it or not, and so what we need to do is we need to get a request, an approval to extend the closing date to happen on or before October 27 2023.

B

We do not think it'll take that long, but we do want to provide as much time as possible and I just want to bring up the fact that this is the opportunity that we have as the HRA, where our mission statement says to help those not adequately Serve by the marketplace.

B

We are in a unique position to be able to work with these voluntary sellers to work through any issues and still be able to provide them a good appraised price for the property, and so that's our requesting here is that you move to approve this First Amendment to the purchase agreement, and we say first just in case there's another amendment. We just say first um for 8313, Blaisdell, Avenue property in the form attached and authorized execution of all necessary documents.

A

Are there any questions.

B

A

Commissioner, Mueller.

B

Are both properties having title issues? Thank you, commissioner. Mueller uh Yes. Actually, um this property and I can dig more a little bit into the next one. um This property is a I, don't know if they die without a will, but it's heirs.

B

So it's not the original owner that held title to the property. It's The Heirs of the original owners that have um interest in the property and we're just working through all of that to make sure everybody is notified and cleared and agreed, and they have signed the purchase agreement. um The Heirs that are living. So not all the heirs are living from the original owners.

B

A

Thank you. Are there any other questions? Hearing no questions. We are looking for a motion to approve the First Amendment to purchase agreement, to purchase agreement for 8313, Blaisdell Avenue property in the form attached and authorized execution of all necessary documents so moved.
