I'd like to speak on Item Number 8. I'm very proud to serve on this board and the work that it's done for Overtown. And I'm very thankful to the County Jrorecognizing the need to extend its life and moving through. And under the stewardship of Commissioner Hardemon and what 1 learned from him during his time here at the City these CRAs have such an incredible impact on blighted communities of need. So while I'm thankful of the County on this extension, I believe that the County should be ashamed for abandoning the West Grove CRA that has been created and needed one last vote, just like this one. And I do hope that they take it back up because you have a community of need there that is very deserving, that has been underserved for decades that could benefit from an agency just like this one. So I'm proud to serve on this and I'm very thankful that we can extend the life of the CRA. We should follow this model and continue moving forward. Chair King: Thank you. All in favor?
