Board of Town Commissioners - Regular Meeting

All right. It's 5.15 p.m. now. On August 11, 2026, we will begin the meeting of the members of the Bell Air City Committee. Let's check the attendance. Mr. Force. Here you are. Mr. Taylor. Here you are. Mr. Henry. Here you are. Mr. Chis Moore. Here you are. And Mr. Edding. Here you are. Yes, I see. There is consent for the approval of the case. I agree. Second, agree. Yes, I agree. Mr. Krenz, would you like to check your attendance? Yes, I will. The case of the office meeting of the AOC committee tonight, August 11, 2026. Those who agree are as follows. Mr. Force. Yes. Mr. Chis Moore. Yes. Mr. Taylor. Yes. Mr. Henry. Yes. And Mr. Edding. The case has been approved. Thank you. The next case is a temporary case at the Town Hall meeting on August 17th. First of all, there are a few announcements. The first is Clarence Hicks's Bel Air Police Station's first officer promotion. Thank you, sir. Today's event is a traditional acclamation ceremony to congratulate Hicks's promotion and extend his family. After that, we plan to hold a separate event in a small community room. I'll prepare the area of the HIPPS building before the viewing meeting. Would you like to join us, Mr. Mayor? All right. Thank you. Yes, sir. Is there anyone who has a correct opinion? All right. The next case is the announcement of the winner of the history finder contest of the History Preservation Committee. I'm Handlin. Yes, this is the announcement of the winner of the history finder contest that will be held until the end of this year. We invited the first citizen group to complete the competition, and we thought it would be good to promote the event so that more people would participate in the Bel-Air Mug Cup as a prize. So we are going to invite the members of the History Preservation Committee and the local residents who have completed the treasure hunt. I saw the mug cup, it's really cool. Good. I think it will be an appropriate incentive. It's cool. There is a mug cup. As you said, if we proceed step by step, I think we can induce other people to participate. I talked to the administration, especially Laura, and I talked to a few members of the committee who are going to attend the event. All right. I'll check it again. Do you have any other discussions? Jared, if you have anything to say, please let me know anytime.

I think it's a good idea, and I hope there are a lot of winners.

Yes, that's great. The next case is the compensation for the policies of the employee compensation insurance company. Rachel, are you Mike? Yes, it's already been paid to the employees. We would like to thank Chesapeake Employee Association, its organization, and Bell Air Village for their excellent support and service, and we are planning to attend for the official announcement of the promotion purpose. It will probably be held at the end of the event, but on the same day, I'm going to make a presentation at the evening event, so I think I'll go to Hey Bird Grace first and then come here. So the presentation order may change a little. Yes, we will proceed flexibly according to the situation. Let's move on to the next case. It's a new case. Article 863-26 of the General Plan Development Regulation, Article 165, Section 2, Section 7, Development and Performance Standard, Article 165-51, Parking, Parking, Parking, Parking, Parking, Parking, Parking, Parking, Parking, Parking, Parking, Parking, Parking, Parking, Parking, Parking, Parking, Parking, Parking, Parking, Parking, Parking, Parking, Parking, Parking, Parking, Parking, Parking, Parking, Parking, Parking, Parking, Parking, Parking. 비공개 회의에서 논의하기로 했던 것 같은데요. 네, 그럼 여기서 다뤄보죠. 여기서 논의하고 싶은 부분이 있나요? 네, 비공개 회의에서 다뤄야 하는 부분도 있지만. 변경 사항에 대한 설명만은 여기서 다루도록 하겠습니다. 다른 부분은 나중에 비공개 회의에서 논의할 거니까요. 그렇죠. Yes, I understand. I have discussed the issue with Mr. Handley, and basically the key to the change was to eliminate the long-term rental of a city-owned parking lot to meet the parking requirements of the development project. Also, it was planned to allow satellite parking in all areas, but not for residential use, and residential buildings should be provided with 50% of parking space in the area and the rest in the area of relatives. Mr. Handley, that was the phrase we were going to use. In the B2 area, it was planned to allow alternative parking for non-residential buildings and residential buildings under the age of 5. However, the number of 5 generations is still to be determined. Especially because we don't want a lot of apartments to be built on the upper part of Main Street. We don't want those buildings to be referred to as inappropriate buildings. So there was a number we were going to decide. Could you confirm that number? I think it's still being reviewed. Yes. We need additional discussion. All right. And in relation to the fee replacement, the B2A and B3A areas will be allowed under the non-payment building limit. However, fee replacement is not allowed in the B3 area. Currently, that is allowed. It is not a change, but as of now, fee replacement is not allowed in the B3 area. This is the summary of the changes that Hanri and I are reviewing. I think the 5th generation housing regulation is the most important part.

Yes, that's right. This question is...

This is a matter that I previously discussed with Chairman Kevin Seymour. I met him a few weeks ago and reviewed the changes. Therefore, I want to make sure that there are no unintended side effects during the implementation process. Yes, I understand. Is there any other discussion about that? I want to add that at least one parking space per generation is required for a new residential development project. I don't want a situation where people have to walk a block to park. If it's a place where you can walk and get off work, that might be the right way, but Bel Air is a good city to walk. But most Bel Air residents think they get off work by car. Therefore, When you buy food or when the weather is bad, you have to walk a block to park. I don't think it's appropriate for Bel Air. Yes, that's right. You have to secure at least one parking space and park the rest in a nearby area. In other words, it means that you have to park in a nearby area, not across the street or somewhere else. In other words, it means sharing the boundary of the area. I'm giving it to you.

I, as a lawyer, am always confused about the use of the term. The first flexibility is called satellite parking. And the second clause is about the fee that is paid instead of parking on site. But what I want to point out is that if you read the text of the clause in detail, it is about the owner of the land. For example, let's say that the new church in Broadway is using two seats in the Shop Light parking lot and has signed a contract. I always allow developers to do what they want with the contract between the owner and the owner, and I think it is better for developers not to interfere as long as they meet the requirements. However, the other condition is about using public parking instead of parking, not private land. So I think it's better to make this part a little clearer. Do you understand what I'm saying? The first condition is about private land ownership, and the second condition is about public parking. It would be good to clarify that. Do you think so, too?

Are you saying that there is a satellite parking lower section under the flexibility section? That's right.

It's a satellite parking, but you can't know where to park just by saying it's a satellite parking. It could be a private parking lot, it could be a public parking lot. Instead of parking on site, the expression of payment is, in my opinion, it is interpreted in the sense that there is not enough parking space on site, so I will buy parking space and give you a receipt. Do you understand what I'm saying? What do you think of the title?

제안하신 문구가 있다면, 제가 말하는 건 지금처럼 쓰여진 방식이 말이 된다는 거죠. 네, 지금처럼 쓰여진 방식은 말이 안 돼요. I think I can write it a little more clearly.

I think it would be better to distinguish the title or the draft better.

Do you understand what I'm saying? Yes, it's possible. If it's just our intention to convey it, If I have to write it again a little more clearly, I'll do that. Yes.

I'll send you the corrections. I'm sorry. Thank you.

And in the document you have now, There are a few of the corrections I mentioned last time. This is what I explained here. Why don't we meet and talk after the meeting?

Yes, or you can send it to Michael. You just need to modify the title, so it's simple.

Yes, and about replacement fees, we tried to change it so that it can be used not only for development, but also for development and maintenance of parking lots. That was also included.

Oh, yes, that's what I was talking about before. Yes, yes, I totally understand.

It's important for everyone to know that maintenance and maintenance are included. Yes, that's included. So you can use it in parking lots or parking spaces. It's not just for creating new spaces. Yes, I understand. Do you have any other discussions? Yes, then we'll move on to the next case. Decreased from 1279 to 26. Decreased from 1246 to 25. In other words, it is a weapon and a user guide that includes the consent of the participation warrior discount. Angela, are you right? Mike? Yes, that's right. All right. We are suggesting a participation warrior discount. It is a content that applies a 10% discount to current military personnel and U.S. military personnel by adding a phrase called a military and volunteer discount under the individual or business item under the Bel Air Weapons and Retiree Guide. This is a 10% discount that applies equally to city-owned or real estate. A 10% discount is applied to U.S. current military personnel and retired soldiers. This discount is only applied to the employee who is listed in the retirement contract, and no other discounts are applied. In order to receive a discount, the employee must submit a document that can prove the current soldier or retired soldier's identity to the event manager before signing the retirement contract. Adopted documents include the DDA-14, insurance company, VA, retired soldier health certificate, government ID card with a retired soldier mark, current soldier or retired soldier card, and other official documents recognized by the event manager. The final application is up to the person in charge of the event. If you have any other suggestions, please let me know. I'll put it on the vote on Monday. The only thing I suggested was... I don't know if there's anything else, but... I don't know how to use the expression, I don't know how to use the expression, I don't know how to use the expression, I don't know how to use the expression, I don't know how to use the expression, I don't know how to use the expression, I don't know how to use the expression, I don't know how to use the expression, I don't know how to use the expression, I don't know how to use the expression, I don't know how to use the expression, I don't know how to use the expression, Was it the same as apostrophe? Yes, I think there was a different name. So, in the expression of honor, I think it would be better to include the mercenaries who were brought in honorably. Or should I say that I served honorably? I don't know if the expression was right. Let's see what the current expression used by Jim Fortes is. As far as I remember, in the past, there was an unnamed generation, and that was usually the only one that worked in a disadvantageous way. I think it was a generation type. I know there are many other types besides the honor generation. Let's check it out for Jim Fortes and see what kind of expression we should use. I know what you're talking about, and I think it makes sense. Yes, I think there was a medical generation. That's part of the honor generation, too. Yes, that's good. I'm glad to include it. I thought there was a different type, but I think they used to call it the honor generation.

Anyway, is there only the name or medical generation in DDE 14? I don't think there's an unnamed generation. I'm not sure. In the case of an unnamed generation, it would be like that. Yes, that's right.

In my opinion, I think 214 types are applied to all 전역자. I may be wrong. I'm not an expert in that field. Steve, I checked it out. That's right. It applies to all employees. So all the employees use the same type of food, and the food classification comes out. Did you have a chance to start working? Or did you just think it was a good idea? Yes. I was looking for a service provided by the Ministry of Health and Welfare for the volunteers in our city. Could you tell me again? I was thinking about what to include in the service that can be provided to the volunteers in our city. So I recommended that you look for what you can do in our city. Yes, I got it. So, was this idea in Clarence's mind? I heard that the volunteers are making a list of medical services, medical benefits, and discount benefits that can be used in other areas.

So they are making a kind of comprehensive list, and this is one of the things that Michael and his employees suggested as a discount for the volunteers in the village. As you know, we don't have a lot of services that we provide because it's a small village. However, I remember that there was a discussion about including our NAP-related program as a potential support book.

Anyway, the idea started from giving a discount with gratitude for the dedication of the warriors. If this is a part of the plan of the Senate, you can ask how the discount benefits provided by other local governments are applied depending on the generation, whether they are general or not. Maybe they have related information. If it's common, keep going. So I was trying to contact Jim Ford. He's writing a list.

Maybe he knows, or maybe he knows someone we can talk to. Is he the chairman of the Military Council? Or is he just a congressman? Are you in charge of contacting the Military Council of the County? Um, I don't know his exact job, but he came to the town and talked to me. So I called him and asked him. I know a few people. Brian Kelly, Bob Brown. Ah, that's right.

Bob Brown is also a well-known name. Yes, so we know a lot of people among them. You can definitely find someone with the right information. I think Jim Ford knows as much as other people. Yes. You can ask the house number 39. There may be a lot of disaster soldiers there, too. They may know what is appropriate and inappropriate to ask the colonel. That's right. And, um, okay. I don't remember whose idea it was. It was an idea from the staff meeting with Angela. Was it your idea? No, I don't remember. Anyway, it was an idea from the staff meeting we were together. It was an offer to think of something we could contribute. That's a good idea. I like it. Yes, I like it, too. All right. Is there any other discussion? Yes, this is the next case. Microsoft 365 contract renewal 2. I'm in charge. Supply 2. I received the balance from three places. Of course, the contract with Microsoft must be renewed. The balance was the lowest, $53,000, and the other two places were $58,500 and $58,200. So we're going to choose the lowest rating, and that rating will be submitted for the vote on Monday. And like in the past, it will be carried out through RFP in other related areas. So is this all software-related costs? Yes, that's right. How much higher than last year? Do you know? Well, I don't have any data right now, so I'll have to check again. But I know it's definitely lower than the budget. We estimated $59,000 as the budget, and $53,000 is lower than that. Yes, that's good. The next item is the parking elevator and outdoor concert hall small lift contract. Mr. Klein, please tell me. Thank you. Yes, now it is time to sign a new contract with an elevator company to maintain two parking elevators and an outdoor concert lift. This contract is a four-year contract and is about $8,490 per year. We are trying to request additional funds in case of an emergency, but it seems that it will cost about $20,000 to $25,000. to use the existing contract of Harper County without going through the competition. Harper County has more than 30 elevators, and has signed a contract with a company called Bellaware Elevator in Solesbury, Maryland. Please sign this part. This contract provides regular maintenance and inspection services for the elevators of parking lots and outdoor venues. Do you have any questions? I would like to let you know that the county also knows about this contract. Yes, of course. Mr. Martin Dofkin, who is in charge of the transfer, contacted Harper County and received the approval. Yes, that's right. Do you have any other questions? And the county contract and all documents are included in this case. Yes, thank you. Yes, the next item is the committee's contact report. It's a summer holiday, so I don't have anything to report. Oh, I see. Me too. Likewise. Mr. Lockfield will come tomorrow. We are recruiting more civil servants who need help and help. If you are interested, you are always welcome. We talked about balancing, matter of balance, and classes. This class is held in Amory on Monday, when the market closes. You have to set a schedule in advance 3 to 6 months ago. I don't know if the schedule is out now, but Vicky Benz is in charge of the peak at the upper chair. And Michelle Sauer, the member of the History Preservation Committee, received tax compensation for the installation of a new fence. The committee members are writing two proposals. One of them is to register real estate in the village that is not in the current register. And for the owners of buildings registered in the current register, if there is a change, I would like to inform you once again that you should contact the History Preservation Committee. Recently, there have been many cases where taxes have been requested after the change in the committee's review. Therefore, we would like to simplify the procedure so that everyone can know exactly. Yes, last week, the City Planning Committee held a meeting. There were two cases. One was about the three-stage shopping mall and the four-stage development approval change. The 400-story building has increased in area, and the 500-story building has decreased in area. In addition, we are also discussing the possibility of replacing the stamped concrete road with a heat-sensitive road block and installing a slope on the road in front of the road entrance. This is about the case related to the shopping mall. And there was also a construction of a 7,500-square-feet building on the opposite side of Churchville Road, opposite the fire station, East Churchville 109. This was delayed for a year due to a lawsuit related to the voting of the residents, and the construction start date was extended by a year. This is the end of the meeting of the Planning Committee. It seems that the meeting of the Executive Committee will be held next week, right? Is it August 18th? Oh, I didn't hear it well.

The road committee is on summer vacation until September.

I couldn't hear the meeting of the planning committee. What was the plan for the demolition of the bill road? I think the original plan was the bank. I think the Royal Bank of Canada RBC branch was supposed to enter. It was just an office building, and it wasn't a bank, but I think the Royal Bank of Canada's financial services department was supposed to enter, but now it is known to be in the Standard On Bond.

Yes, so whoever the tenant is, it is still used as an office building.

All right. Is there any other news? All right. Mr. Clancy, please update your personnel. The police officer's recruitment notice came out not long ago. The city executive's recruitment notice also came out not long ago. We are currently reviewing the application. You can re-issue the recruitment notice of the executive director included in the budget. I'll post it in a few days. Other than that, fortunately, there is no other process at the moment. Are the additional police officers included in this year's budget filled? It's not filled yet, but we're reviewing a few applications at the moment. I think some of the applicants will be positive, so we can make an offer to hire them. At least one person. All right. Regarding the committee, I would like to confirm whether he agreed to continue his activities. We must include Steve Burdett's re-appointment for the construction committee. Yes, I forgot. Yes, good. I'll put it in on the 17th. Yes, good. Thank you for letting me know. Steve. Yes, yes. All right. Next is the event schedule. It's already mid-August. Any additions or changes? Angela, the 18th is the Downtown Alliance meeting, right?

Yes, that's right. Okay. 8.30 p.m.

The meeting of the City Planning Committee, which was scheduled to be held on September 3, has already been canceled. Currently, the new application has not been received. We are working on a few projects, but we may have to go through the investigation of the Judiciary Committee first. All right. There's still some time left. 1, 2, 3, 4, 1, 2, 3. Good. If necessary, you can adjust the schedule. I don't think it will take a long time. Yes. If the meeting is scheduled, we will adjust the schedule accordingly. All right. Do you have any other opinions? Yes. Let's move on to other matters. I'm sorry. Rachel, is that right? Yes, that's right. Currently, our policy is that all organizations and institutions related to the city government should submit specific documents according to the amount of support they receive if they are supported by public funds.

Winter Wonderland does not actually receive funding, but it receives time and land costs. Time is also considered as a kind of fund, but I remember that the couple was exempted because we built the facility at a time and land cost last year. So I think I asked for a exemption again. Lisa sent a letter of general information to Winter Wonderland, and the letter contained the content that she had to submit to the city by writing a review report by incorporating related materials. From the point of view of the non-profit organization, the cost of about $ 5,000 may be quite burdensome. However, there is also a report saying that it should be submitted to the National Tax Administration IRS every year. In my opinion, it is better because it provides much more information than Yangshik's draft report. In fact, this report shows all the income and all the revenue earned during the period when the board members and they were active. Of course, it's not as detailed as the financial statement comprehensive report, but there are parts that need to be read, but I think the IRS is doing really well. If you access the IRS website, you can receive 990 forms from all non-profit organizations, and it shows the situation of last year and this year very well. If you haven't seen the 990 report, I have a copy here, so I can show it to you. This report provides much more information than the SONIC calculation and NADECA balance sheet. Therefore, I think it would be better to adopt the report instead of the tax return comprehensive report and approve the exemption for want of underland. Should I choose the amount?

What should I choose between the tax return and the 990 type of submission? How should I build the policy?

According to the current policy, if you apply for more than $25,000, the applicant must submit an independent review report. The applicant is following the policy. However, in the case of small-scale support between $5,000 and $25,000, the applicant's public accountant, CPA, must request a financial report or review report. However, if the applicant does not generally write such a report, additional costs may occur. Therefore, Mr. Gavin requested and I agree. If there is another way to get a exemption without spending the cost of writing a financial statement, you must request this temporary exemption. And what I want to do is to review the policy and propose a new policy on how to adopt the 990 formula in the future. Yes, that's right. I want to find a way to apply the rules on how to adopt the 990 formula.

For example, I would like to distinguish between the case where the tax on the thank you report is $25,000 and the case where it is not. Just accept it once and update the policy?

Yes, that's right. So, this is why I reviewed it and sent you an email. The 990 formula contains a lot of information that will help you evaluate the company's use of funds and how to use them. Um, and if it helps the IRS, so... If we follow the IRS regulations and just report it, I think it's something that all non-profit organizations should review every year. Good. Can we make a decision here? Or should we do it at a meeting?

I understand what you mean. It's okay to make a decision here. Yes, what I mean is... I was wondering if I should vote or just discuss. This is not a legal nature, it's just a debate. If you vote, you're going to end the problem fundamentally. Yes, I understand. Then let's see what's the best way. Yes, yes, that's good. In particular, in this case, it is not to give cash, but only to provide services because it exempts the cost of public business and police services. So we know exactly where the services are used. That's right. Where the money is used. That's right. So I don't want them to spend a few thousand dollars more. Oh, yes. It doesn't make sense to do that to get a few thousand dollars. That's right. Yes.

Thank you for doing so. Yes.

Thank you, Kevin. All right. Do you have any other discussions? Yes. Mr. Diner, thank you. Yes.

It's okay.

And in Downtown Alliance, we asked for a support letter to apply for a building exterior improvement subsidy. This is a very general procedure. We've always done this in the past. Downtown Alliance's Director-General asked us to ask for support for the Maryland-based Housing and Regional Social Development Department's building exterior improvement subsidy program application. They will deliver praise for the services of the town and Downtown Alliance through our proposal and submit the proposal to the subsidy application. Yes. If you approve, we will write a letter to the mayor to sign. Have you ever received a grant from Downtown Alliance in the past? Yes, there is. When the number of employees decreased, we cooperated with them.

I was in charge of the grant administration at the time. So we cooperated very closely. Since the number of employees has increased, they have been in charge of the management of the grant, We continue to promote the fact that this subsidy is helpful to local businesses. This is also the part I often mention. The last subsidy I received was in 2023, and I was supported by DHCD, a local housing and social development department at the time. DHCD recently revised the subsidy management method and prepared a separate budget for building exterior improvement. It is a very useful support book for businesses. Up to $20,000 will be matching support for 50% to 50%. In other words, the business can be reimbursed up to $10,000 after completion.

Yes, or if you allow me, I can sign on behalf of the board. You can do whatever you want. How did you do it before? I think both methods were possible. Yes.

There's something I'd like to ask Angela. Did you have a case where the chairman signed? In this kind of grant application, there are cases where the chairman's approval and the chairman's signature are required. As Mr. Krantz said, this is simply a request to support the application, and it is not a kind of procedure that requires the project to be approved.

Yes, that's right. This letter means that Blair supports the application of the Downtown Alliance. It doesn't mean that we sign directly or become the applicant. The key point is that the Downtown Alliance supports being a good organization. I fully support the Alliance's funding. There is no problem.

I wanted to make sure that some of the cases were properly processed because I had to sign with the chairman after the meeting and the vote. I was worried that there would be a time limit and it would be hasty. I haven't been able to check the case properly right now, so I'd like you to review it again. Um, please make sure to check what's in it. Yes. I'll send you the draft tomorrow. All right.

그러면 회의에서 논의할 시간은 충분할 겁니다. 네, 알겠습니다. 다른 논의 사항 있으신가요? 네, 직원 의견 부탁드립니다. 저는 괜찮습니다. There was a strong storm in the last few days, but our village was really well dealt with. The flood damage was much less than the previous year. I don't think anyone got wet in the house last night. I'm so glad. At some points, it was close, but thanks to the restoration work we did, I don't think that happened. So I'm glad. I don't know if it was exactly Sunday a few days ago, but I think it was Saturday, Sunday, and Monday, but it was stopped near Main Street 22 and Main Street intersection. They were evacuating people from BGE to Main Street. It was stopped last night, but it was turned on again around 7 o'clock this morning. Mr. Klein, I saw something that looked like a soil leak in front of the city hall. I think it came out from the other side of the road. I called you early this morning, and you probably said you had to come and clean it. I said I'd clean it, but I don't think it's here until 3 p.m. I didn't see it myself. Thank you for watching. He was really kind and said he would definitely send his staff. He may not have come this far, but he said he tried. He said he would send it, so I'll check again tomorrow. Thank you. There is no problem this evening. Thank you.

아직 정리 중이지만 재정 관련해서는 괜찮습니다. 여기는 아무 문제 없습니다. 네, 네, 괜찮습니다. 감사합니다. 위원님들의 말씀입니다.

지난주에 여름 휴가를 즐기거나 휴가를 보내고 있지 않으셨던 모든 분들께 알려드립니다. 주의회는 특별회기를 소집하는 것이 적절한 시기라고 판단했습니다. 이 특별회기의 목적은 정기. It's not about reducing the cost or the burden on living expenses, but it's about revoking Maryland's main constitution and deleting the bill that guarantees the equality of the House of Representatives. I made a statement. I didn't do it on behalf of the town. It's because the town council didn't vote to confirm their position on the issue. But I made a statement as an individual and a town council member. If the bill is passed, it will be one of the communities that will be affected by the weakening of federal representation. Currently, the lawsuit is in progress on whether the issue can be amended to the Constitution by voting in November. We will be very careful about this situation. If the problem is attached to the vote, If you are watching at home, please take a good look at the November voting site. In my opinion, the sentence of the problem is ambiguous. So we all thoroughly investigate the problem and delete such protections and sentences. We need to understand how much it will have a wide impact. In particular, the Maryland Declaration of Rights, that is, the rights of our state law, will no longer be applied, It is a problem that some citizens are not able to file a lawsuit according to their right to vote. According to some scholars, it is the first time that the Maryland House of Representatives has rather reduced the number of rights and protections guaranteed by the House of Representatives. Therefore, these measures from Annapolis are quite shocking and we will continue to watch how the situation will develop in the future. Yes, Mr. Taylor, thank you for the update. Do you have any other news? Mr. Klein, on my way here, I saw a new packaging construction on Coatland Street. It's near the Education Office building, is it part of the housing community development fund project? The packaging construction seems to have been completed relatively recently in the last few weeks.

It must have been part of the regional social development block subsidy project.

Yes, it's on Cotland Street. Yes, that's right. Yes, that was part of the last packaging construction. There's still a lot of work left to do, but it was definitely part of the project. As Angela just said, most of the cost was covered by the regional social development block subsidy. Yes, yes, yes. I don't have much to say. Christine, do you have any? All right. Let's move on to the next case. There is an agreement to turn it into an unannounced meeting. Mr. Chairman, Maryland Public Meeting Law General Act 3, 305B, Act 1, 2, 3, 7, 8 I agree to hold an unannounced meeting. I think it's almost all of them.

In addition, public discussions on sensitive information about potential real estate negotiations, including price, location and strategic considerations, have a negative impact on the negotiation power of public institutions, Yes, thank you.
