Council - Regular Meeting

Good evening everyone. Uh, welcome to the 2026 2027 annual action plan public input session. My name is Albert Bazil. I'm the housing and social services director. Here with me, I have in the back our um, senior housing coordinator, Mr. Tommy Fson. I have my I will not say junior but my housing coordinator Won Centiel. Uh those are the people you need to be nice to because they are the one running the show on the housing side. So tonight one of the reason we are we are here tonight it's to meet one of the HUD requirements. So the CD is an entitlement meanings that we receive money from HUD under the CDBG program and the home program and as part of the requirements we should uh inform the public. We call that citizen participation. So we do that one for our complaint. Every five years we tell how the city intend to spend that money. But each year that we receive the allocation, it is mandatory that we meet with the people with the residents to explain this is what we receive. This is how we're going to spend the money. It's an opportunity for you guys to say, "Okay, can we put a little bit more here, less here?" Some of them we can move, some others we cannot because some of them uh some of them are mandatory, we cannot touch them, but some others we can for sure play with the allocation as long as those requests meet the priorities and needs that were identified during the comp plan. So with that said, uh what we're going to do, I think uh we went quickly through the introduction. I'm going to do an overview of the housing and social services department. We're

gonna talk a little bit of the consolidated plan and the annual action plan. What's the difference? But they are connected. Um we're going to do a recap of 2529 comp plan what was identified as priorities and needs um for the city because we did last year our fiveyear consoed plan. So we not do we all do I think all the way to 2030 but every year we have to do an actual plan to explain how we going to spend the money. Uh we're going to show you what we received this year uh in term of funding from the department of housing and urban development hard and the next step in this process. So, as I as I explained in the beginning, uh we're doing this process as part of what we call the citizen participation. It's not going to stop here. Once we done here, uh I'm going to mention it a little bit later in the program. It's mandatory that we have two public hearing. The first one we're gonna do it in front of the planning commission on May the 5th and then we're gonna go to the council on June 23rd I believe for the final approval which will constitute the second uh public hearing. This one is just an informative just for you to know what's coming your way for this fiscal year for the next uh fiscal year. And at any time if there is any question you can stop me or we can wait all the way at the end to uh to ask question. I just want to remind that this um the session is being recorded. It's currently being live streamed on YouTube and on Numi TV. People can come back at any time and watch it. Uh our mission as a department is to serve the culturally diverse North

Miami community by ensuring that you guys have access to decent uh housing, affordable housing, safe housing and all that while we are offering some good programming in term of social services. I can see in the public right now I got some participant in one of our social services program. We have the senior programs. We have some other program for the youth that we try to elevate the community not only by providing decent housing but some other social programming here. So this is how it works. The city is an entitlement. What does entitlement mean? So we receive money from hard to serve our low and moderate income population. I will not say that we do not apply for this grant because we have to fill the application anyways but those are money that are being allocated to local government based on our population and based on our level of poverty. So I think CDBG if you have if you cap 50 plus you are entitled to receive the money and I think home home factor both level of poverties and uh population. So here uh as a grantee the city of North Miami I've been a grantee for CDBG since 1993. I think we started receiving home funds back in 2014. So those funding when we receive them there are two requirements requires that we do what we call a five-year consolidated plan. What does that mean? You give me $100. You say Albert this is $100. I need you to tell me what you're gonna do with this $100 for the next five years. So, how you going to spend $20 in the first year,

$20 in the second year? However, we decide to to spend it need to know ahead how we intend to spend that money. So, once we do that, the city doesn't make the call, my department doesn't make the call, you the residents make the call. So last year some of you may have received in the mail survey uh my staff and I we attended several community meeting like HOA meetings social services community outreach meeting where we passed those survey you guys responded to the survey that's when we determine uh that's where the um the priorities and needs were determined last year. So we say for the next five year you guys want the city to put attention on home repair on public services on emergency elderly on economic development. So all those activity that I can do under this uh under under those grants. So here you got on the left side the city is required to prepare a five-year consolidated plan. So right now we did ours last year. I am not due to hard for a plan until 2029 for the five years. But that doesn't stop here. Hard doesn't give me doesn't give me money for five years. They give me money every year. So after I told them this is how we intend to spend the money when I finally receive the allocation for year 26 27 coming up. I need to explain to them again how I'm going to spend that money. So that's the reason of your presence today. Last year we talk about with five year upcoming. This year we're going to come about we're going to talk about with the money that we receive this year. Next year I'm going to invite you again to come back to see what we receive, how we going to spend it. So the consolidated plan basically includes

the community needs, priorities and goal identified by you. So when I say by you the residents it's not only the people who live in North Miami businesses in North Miami community partner who don't live in North Miami but who serve resident of North Miami. So we got a plethora of people who respond to those surveys and that's how we determine what are your needs and when you receive your survey you say no no no I need the money to go toward uh improving the infrastructure such as the community center you can say okay when I go to the community center we don't like the state of the bathroom can we put some money toward improving community center can we put some more money toward repair so all that were being asked during the uh survey that we administered last year and that's how we come up with your priorities and your needs. So that's the role of the consolidated plan and once you identify the needs you say okay uh priority number one it's uh reap this is where we're going to put more money this is where we're going to put uh the second priority and so forth. Now through the five years the project's approved must remain consistent with the consolidated plan. This is important. So if you fill out your applica your survey and we determine at the end housing rehabilitation is a high priority. It doesn't make sense to hard to see that this money is being spent on repairing community center. So there is a problem. You say your problem is housing repair. Now we are spending the money in doing side work. So we cannot do that. We're gonna be have we're gonna have a problem with her. They're gonna call us to say okay what's going on? Uh the needs change and if the needs change we need to amend the consolidated plan. So whatever we say are your needs how

expect to see that the money being allocated to those priorities. Feel free to stop me because I can call all the way to the end or we're going to wait for the end to ask the question. So we talk about with the consolidated plan. Now let's talk about with the annual action plan. The annual action plan we say it already the city receive annual funding through CDBG and home programs from HUD. as an entitlement. We receive those money and the allocation are based on population and needs. Uh HUD requires submission of an annual action plan every year. Every year I just received my letter from HUD. I think we got the letter on March 27 that gave me my allocation. So I need to go back and tell her this is how we're going to spend the money for this year. Then uh in our annual action plan, we need to say those are the projects that we are going to do. And we expect with that money to repair five homes. We we expect with that money to redo a room at the library. We expect with that money to assist 10 elderly with repairing their AC. So it's not only telling them I'm putting $100,000 here, but we need to tell what's going to be the outcome. Then uh the project must align also with city needs and priorities and goal in the consolidated plan. This is really repetition I just told you. I cannot put the money where in an area that was not identified as an area of high needs. If it's not a high needs, the city will have to find money somewhere else. Okay. To address that, the money must be put into high priorities. Then like I said, if for some reason we make the decision this money instead of going now to housing repair is going to

the sidewalk, we need to amend the plan and explain to her why we are making those changes and I need to show that I met with you. I met with the community. So those are the population decided the community decided this is where we have the priorities now. And HUD doesn't expect that the city only have their money to do everything that the city needs. So they expect us to find some money elsewhere. It can be it can come from the state. We are also a recipient of uh ship funding from the state. It can be from the county. Unfortunately, we don't get anything from the county. Uh it can be local. We used to administer we we used to receive some money from the CRA to put toward housing but I'm happy to announce that they are running their own program um over there. So if for some reason I don't I'm unable to assist you the CRA got basically close to the same program that we are having. So I and that's one of the thing that I tell hard I don't run the program but the city through the CRA match those program and it can be private funding too. Someone may tell the city, I'm giving you half a million, you know, and I want this money to go toward housing. Never happened. But we need to give credit. I think uh right now we have one affordable um project that is being built uh on a property that was given by a resident pri before dying. So I cannot say that we don't receive anything from the private sector. Uh this is what we're talking about. Um it's good to say h want no hot doesn't just want hot want me to talk to you how

do I talk to you I talk to you through public meetings that we are having on the on May I'm going to give you the exact date the first Tuesday of May and we're going to have May the 5th and we're going to have the second hearing on June the 23rd at council meeting. So we have to do two public hearings. Now they want me to conduct workshop. That's what we are doing right now. The workshop is good in the sense that you can tell me what you want to see change. Once I go to uh the planning commission or to council meeting, you still can come and make changes. But at that time they're going to have to modify my draft. Right now I'm still working on my draft. I still have room to make changes and to update the information. If you go to the planning commission to the city council at that point you have you have to talk to the commissioner to the board and then for the board now to allow you to understand why you want to make the change and the board will make the recommendation and so once we do that uh that's for me and the residents we also have to do agency consultation so we send email to stakeholders to community partners to businesses in the city ask them where are the priorities where would where they would like to see the money being spent. Do they have new needs okay that that are emerging that we are not aware or that was not uh that were not identified in the consolidated plan. That's another opportunity and we do that with both the residents and the other other stakeholder businesses community based organization who serve the community. Now once we once we are done with uh public meetings workshop between the first public hearing and the

second public hearing we're going to have a 30 days uh commenting period. The plan the draft of the plan will be available at city hall at the library at no at no me at our office no um at 12300 northeast 8. We we are the last building at the corner and it's going to be online. Me, I love online. I don't have to go in person. I can pull the plan. I read the plan. If I have any comments, I I will send an email. But we put all the information in there. If at any time, you know, you have a comments, you can feel free to send the email to housing. Not only we will include your comments in the in the plan in the draft, we will also respond to acknowledge that we receive your comments. So after the 30 days commenting period, that's where we take we take it to city council for the final approval. And once we get the final approval, we send this uh plan to hard for final approval. So the money that I'm going to show you in a little bit, we don't have it until we go through all that process. If we don't do all those things that I just mentioned, we never got our agreement with HUD. Our account in HUD um financial system will be never credited until we go through all that process. Those are the priorities that were identified when we did the consolidated plan last year. Uh owner occupy came first. Okay. H owner occupy most of the time we are looking at home repairs, roof, um AC, windows, those major item. Number two, public general public services. Public services most of

the time we don't do it. uh there is a set aside in the money that we receive that we have to give to uh community based organization. Let me explain that if we receive $100 from HUD $15 we need to give them to nonprofit organization to help you guys. The housing department cannot do everything. So certain thing when you come to us you say okay I need help for someone to help me find a house. I don't have enough staff. It's only five people in this division. So at that point, I can refer you to a partner uh who specialize in housing navigation. Those people will help you find a home. You can come to me to say, "Miss Albert, I have an elderly in a home that doesn't have money uh they don't have food. So if they don't have food, what do we do?" We refer you to a uh community based organization. will specialize in delivering hot meals to the seniors and those people will sign you up and help you. So this is mandatory. We have to give uh that money to the people. With that being said, public services, we give the money but we don't administer it. Those people go and do provide the service to you and we give them the money to do that. Uh the third thing that comes to us is homeless prevention. This is new to me. I've been uh with the city for a minute. Um I can tell you the last past 10 years we didn't experience homelessness, but this is something that is coming our way. Uh and really we don't have the the structure to deal with it. Most of those cases we refer them to the county uh to the homeless trust. But this is something that is beginning uh beginning to to come up with our in our survey in our

consultation. So the only thing we do to that effect to compensate is to increase the allocation that we have in tenant based rental assistance. So we have people who want to come to North Miami for instance they may be able to pay the $1,500 but they don't have the means to pay the $4,500 upfront. So we help them with those moving deposits. So to make sure that those people are not in the street but I have to tell you right now really most of our homeless the extreme one the chronic one they are being referred to the county because we don't have enough money to cover that. And our number four rental house um priority is rental housing but this one come with all form. It can be moving assistance or they they're late in their payment. They need assistance for back payment or they cannot even afford the monthly. They need some st some type of uh subsidize to help them pay the monthly. So someone to at least to take a share. So we have all that but we don't really have enough funding to cover that. But all that came as priorities last year when we did the consolidated plan. And finally number five we have improvement uh of uh public facilities. So they want me to put some money in our buildings. Um what we call building we have all our community centers. So uh I can tell you for instance two years ago we helped replace two roofs at alen enchanted forest. Last year I think we helped upgrade uh the AC at Jose part of the AC uh one year ago we helped the library I think they upgrade their electrical outage. So we help uh wherever the needs are being identified, we try to put some money to assist in this area.

And now this is uh this is us this year. Uh if you look at the numbers, this is what we received from HUD this year under the home program is 280,000 plus. Uh under CDBG is 754,000 plus that we receive. If you guys are used to come to those meeting, we realize that every year the money is going down. Every year the money is going down. There are two reasons for that. At Congress level, CDBG and home allocation was not increased for the last past three to four years. There was no increase. So if CDBG was funded at three billion, we've been receiving three billion for the last um past four years. Now the other issue we are having I mentioned earlier that CDBG is based on your population. So maybe you have more cities that are getting to the 50,000 plus uh residents. So if more city are becoming entitlement and then the allocation is not increased. So what do they do? They take from me they take from other cities to give to those people. And that's why it is important for you guys when census time come, you guys need to answer the census because I'm pretty sure that North Miami got more than 60,000 plus residents. But if you not if you don't answer that, you're not being counted. You're not being counted. So it's important when comes time that you guys fill those application and return it. So we are being counted and we receive our fair share of whatever the federal government is giving. So this is what we have uh for this year. I think this is uh uh next year is going to be our year two in the plan. We are currently in year 1 2526.

Next year is going to be year two in the plan. So uh again we tell her this is five years not specifically this is what we want to do with this year money. So what we did uh this is how we distribute the allocation under CDBG. We look at the priorities. Look at the priorities you see here. Okay. We have owner occupied, public services, homeless prevention, rental, public facility. If you go here under CDBG, we cannot do rental. Rental is not permitted on the CDBG. So what we do uh besides we are entitled of um to set aside 20% for administration because we have to pay staff. Okay. Was doing that work. Uh we remember how was in rehab came as priority number one. Public services at priority number two. But there is a problem with priority number two. Not a problem. You see we put the bulk in housing rehab and we only have 114. It's because there is a cap for public services doesn't want us to give more than 15% to those community based organization. So even though they came as priority number two we are limited in the amount that we can give them because it's it caps at 15%. And then we have public facilities. So there is not much that we can do because remember uh with CDBG we don't build we can improve we can upgrade but we cannot build with the CDBG money. We have building under CDBG but really this is you you need to have the money you need to see the money to get into construction not this little one that we receive here. So now when we go under home under home we we don't have more than 10% of the allocation for uh

administration uh again we put a nice portion on the housing rehabilitation but remember on the CDBG we have a nice chunk so we can afford to put less on the home but if you look at under tenant based rental assistance we kind of increase it that's the one that assists the people uh when uh when they need moving assistance and we got we are trying to put the sub uh the subsidiary one where we assist on a monthly basis but this one is a little bit tricky so far right now we are focusing really on the moving assistance we we don't want we we we did it on the the homeop I think that was the American rescue plan the one that President Biden gave uh for COVID we we tested the program before it. It's feasible. We can do it, but with this little funding, it's very difficult. How many people can you support? We don't have rent less than 15,600 in North Miami. So, it's how many people can you support? What is it? 1,500 time 12. So, we already looking at $15,000 per person. if we have to subsidize someone for a year assuming that this person can cover a nice portion of the of the rent. So basically if you guys notice everything that came into the priority is being addressed in the distribution. So we are addressing home rehabilitation, we are addressing public services, improvement to public facilities, rental assistance, and the one item that I didn't mention, uhoh, I did that. The one item I didn't mention is the community uh housing development organization, the

shod. This one again, it's like the public services. It's a set aside 15% that we have to give to nonprofit developers, not community based organization this time, to nonprofit developers to to come and bring uh and build affordable housing in North Miami. But I have to tell you, it's very difficult in North Miami because there is no more empty land. And if I give a developer $42,000, the volume of thing that I'm asking them to do uh all the requirements that they need to meet it's um it's very difficult. This is a line of item that currently we are we are assessing because money is sitting there developer that can doesn't want to work with this little money. I'm asking for too much for this little money. So let's move then. So you got you guys have an idea between the consolidate plan, the annual action plan, the money that we receive, how we distribute the money, but all that is recommendation that staff is doing based on the results of the consolidated plan to the planning commission to the council uh the council uh the city council. So planning commission cannot make decision. They can make recommendation to city council but ultimately mayor and council will be the one approving the final. They can change but make sure that they can change but they can change based on what were what was uh reflected during the consolidated uh plan process. So as and as I was saying earlier today we are doing our public input. Uh we're telling you this is what we received. This is how we're going to uh distribute the funds. Uh May 5th, we're going to go to the planning commission. In three weeks, we're going

to tell I'm going to do the same presentation to the planning commission. Uh they receive the package, they go through it. Some of them come, they have their question. We answer question. They can ask they can ask for modification. Sometimes they vote as is the way we present it. Some other time they vote with recommendation to staff and city council. And after this, we're going to have a month, 30 days. It's mandatory to have the commenting period. So, it's going to go through from May 11 to June 11, we're going to have the commenting period. After the commenting period, whatever you guys said during the commenting period, whatever uh the planning commission recommended, all that will be uh included into the plan. So we will update the plan to present to city council on June the 23rd. So remember planning commission is the first public hearing 30-day commenting period and on the June 23rd that city council for the final approval once we done uh assuming that council approve it on June 23rd. If they don't I have another opportunity the first meeting in July but they have no choice. they have to approve it because we cannot miss this deadline. If we miss the deadline to submit to HUD by August the 16, we're not going to receive the funding for this year. So, our goal is to uh submit the latest to HUD on August 1st, but we have until August the 16 to do it. If we miss the 16, we didn't even have a that's the only thing that HUD didn't wave during COVID. They didn't I have all type of waiver during COVID, but I didn't have a waiver for that. We had to submit our plan uh during COVID on August 16. We had to do all those meetings online using Zoom and

so forth. Then I I never see them change this uh submittal deadline. And once we submit, they have 45 days to to give us the thumbs up. That's put us to October 1st. So we should have our money approved by October 1st to start the new fiscal year. And here this is the end of my presentation. I thank you for your attention. Is the time for you to ask your question if any. Okay. So that's it's time for you to ask your question or forever hold your peace. If there is any question that's mean that was great. I said everything right. Any question? There we go.

Correct. Okay. What what is the what is the requirement uh application? They ask you for your income. They ask you for this and that. Okay. So, uh, under housing repair, Duna, I don't know how to get back to this thing. Okay. Uh, under housing repair, we have to make a I need to make a difference for you. Now, you're getting me into detail. Under housing repair, we have three different type of program. Okay? We have the owner occupied, we call it single family repair as well. You have the emergency elderly, and we have the pen program. Mhm.

The owner occupied. This is the big one where we help residents up to $60,000.

This one we don't have it open year round. We have it open once a year from October 1st to October 31st. Why? Because we don't have enough money to serve everybody. So what we do, we open application and we do a lottery where we select a certain number of people that we can help depending on the funding. So let's take an example. If we have $300,000 that's mean divided by by 60 I can only help five people. So I have 85 people applying. How do I choose? You know I'm going to have an issue. So council I think back in 12 or 13 if I'm not mistaken. They make the decision we're not going to have waiting list. We're not going to have first come first serve. So they kill all that. So we do a lottery for the big program. That's the owner occupied. The second one that we have is the elderly emergency where we where we assist uh residents 62 or over. Okay. So I can come and swap your AC if you have an AC issue. We can do your water heater. We can do your one window or two doors impact doors if you need to change that. We do we don't redo the bathroom but we can make it ADA compliant. If you have someone who got some issue we put a grab bar for you to hold. This one is open year round but at some point if we don't have any money there is no more money at at that point we we close it. Same thing for the paint we have a certain allocation uh in the paint for that it's anytime the money is over we close the application. So basically paint elderly open year round owner occupy once a year October 1st to

October 31st and most the two elderly paint and elderly um and paint emergency those are grants you don't have to repay it if you are eligible you met the requirement you got the salary all those program are at 80% AMI um AMI means area median income There is a certain income you have to have. If you exceed that, we cannot help you. But those are uh Mr. Fen and Mr. Sentil uh show. So I don't want to get too deeper into that. Those guys are excellent. They will sit down with you, walk you through the process so uh you know if you are eligible or not.

Any other question? Okay. Thank you. You're welcome. Any other question? So we go ahead. Why don't I ask like on 125th 10th Avenue? Oh, sorry. Thank you. On 125th 10th Avenue, our house is on the corner. Mhm. I don't know how many times cars, buses jump over the fence and get in the yard. And you are on the northeast side or northwest? Northwest. Northwest side. Yes. I think your area is one area I think they are fighting to put a Okay. A circle, a traffic circle.

But I need to verify that. Don't take my word. No, no. Excuse me. Because I think they tried to once but the bus was passing that way going that way. So they couldn't do but now they don't they don't the bus the bus doesn't go that road anymore. I need to do some research for you because I know for a fact there are two or three area people u people came to the council meeting to complain about u people driving fast accident happening in the area I think they were discussing to bring some traffic circle in the area but don't take my word let me let me go ask the question to see if there is something happening in the

few months few months ago they had an accident okay a car dropped over the fence almost get into the living room where we sat down. They dropped my uh So, your house is at the corner. Yes. Everything was down. Yes. Wow. Until now, we don't finish. We don't fix it because our insurance they fighting to give us a little thing to Yeah. Okay. But I I'll get the address, the complete address. It's 101 Northwest 125th at the corner. Okay. 25th on 10th Avenue on the right side.

Okay. That's some that's something I need to take and run it by public works. I don't know if they have any project coming and I want to make sure what I'm saying is right because I know they're trying to push some traffic circle in the area. It's not only only the city the county has to give his word to for those traffic circle. It may take times but I want to make sure I'll verify if it's your area. Yes. Thank you. Uh that they're working on. We'll do. You're welcome. And uh excuse me. And my AC is been my AC broke down. So we You have the right person here. No, don't don't ask me the question. Ask this person the question.

Our AC broke down and it's very hard for us to replace it when it's hot.

Okay. Thank you. All right. Thank you very much. You have the right person. Nice. Any other question? If not, I want to thank you all for coming. Hopefully, I'll see you on the 5th at the planning commission. And mostly I want Oh, no, no, no. She has a question. Won, she has a question. No, ask her a question. No, no, don't be afraid. Ask her a question. It's in ref Oh, thank you. It's in reference to the center. Mhm. We used to get bottled water. Bottled water. Uhhuh. At the center.

Oh, okay. We used to get bottled water at the center. Mhm. For some reason. I was away for a while, but I've come back. Mhm. There's no water. There's I mean, there's water, but it's not the bottled water. Mhm. And I believe we should have enough money collected or what have you that we can continue with the bottled water. I don't know where this other water is coming from. Mhm. And for me, I don't know about the others, but I'm not comfortable. So therefore, I do try to bring my own water, but if it used to be at the center, why not bring it back? I mean,

no. Uh, it was a choice made by admin by by my administration because we got so many issues, so many complaint. is so many uh plastic into the environment it's becoming impossible to manage. So the decision was made that we are bringing those five gallons of water and you guys have cups. You can take as many as you want. Now the second solution that I'm working on and that's going to be the definite one. I'm going to get a bottle of water for everybody. So when you come, you bring your your bottle, you fill your your bottle and you have your bottle for the day. So this is this is not a a money issue or no no none whatsoever. We have two issue. It's too many complaints about the water and also for me too much plastic in the environment. So I hope by Mother's Day I can have a nice bottle with our golden senior silver printed on it. Very nice bottle. You write your name on it and each time you come to the program, you bring your bottle, you fill your bottle and everybody's comfortable.

That that sounds good. But wherever we're filling the water from, that container should be clear. I mean, there's this dark dark container that has the water in it. We can't tell if if they're There is no reason. There is no reason to put it in the dark container. is to stay in the clear bottle that we receive it from Zeph Hills or from Nestle. That I can fix. That I can fix. I would appreciate that. All right. No, no, she No, she's talking about uh uh maybe we pour it in a thermos type like to keep it cold, but I know exactly what she's talking about. I make sure I fix that. And then the other thing,

I don't know if you have anything to do with it. It's with the restrooms. Mhm. There needs to be some type of air freshener that's automatic that comes in. Sometimes you go in there, you you can't go in there. This this the stench is so horrible. And I don't know who to complain to.

I'm going to say I'm going to say two things. Uh I cannot say that I'm a tenant over there because this is a city program. We're just using the facility. But you need to work with me because it's not something that one person go, 1 hour later another person go. I have 100 people using this bathroom between the time of 9 to 1:00. The only thing that we can do is maybe to bring a porter during the program during the program time to have someone check on the bathroom every other hour. I have my staff do it. I think the young lady, the attendant, the park attendant do the same effort, you know, to go every but it's not like you have someone who is really going after you clean and so forth. This is something that we need to address. It's uh I cannot say it's not my problem. It's the park problem. This is something that happened when I have the program going on. So, we need to bring a solution during the program.

Anything else? That's your time. That's your opportunity. Thank you. Okay, so it seems like I answered all the question. With that being said, I thank everyone for coming. I truly appreciate you coming and listen and ask your question. I hope to see you on the 5th. If not on the 5th of May, I hope to see you on the 23rd of June for the final approval. Thank you all for coming. Thank you. Thank you.
