Speaker 1

07:04

you. I know it was mentioned earlier that the that there was a support letter from the community organization that was, and I would put air quote, fraudulently submitted without getting involved in neighborhood issues. It was clarified in the committee that in fact, that the member, the individual who sent the letter on behalf of the Community Association, did so on their own, and it was not a letter that was signed and approved by the association. From my understanding, the association remain neutral on this particular item. And just wanted to make it very clear that that that item was discussed in committee, and it was very clear that that individual did submit that letter, did so on their own.

perfecting churches in my district, and Jay Z was in my district, and I have not missed one meeting. And everybody who has been at the meetings has seen me there. We're very aware of the letter. Have copies of the letter. It was retracted. They understood where, where Mr. Short made a mistake and he apologized. He is no longer president of the university Detroit. Association is now attorney Aaron Ferguson. I'm very proud to be working with Jay Z simply because you guys have been more than willing to accommodate the residents I have been there. I know where it was at the first scale and how you have scaled down to accommodate requests, not siding with anybody. They own the property. They own the property. They have been there for over 100 years, educating students in and outside of the neighborhood where I live. I live in Green Acres, but I know the area very well, so they have been more than accommodating. Madam Chair, more than accommodating. And I am looking forward to the construction of the new development. I had a tour of the the original structure, Mr. The facility manager, gave us a tour. And I'm just happy that you're going to preserve it and maintain it and build around it and not demolish it. That was my expectation. I'm hoping that's still part of the plan. I will be monitoring it, but I'm happy that you're you'll be able to build over there on your land, and it will not again, not affect the property value over there. I just don't believe that it will. And so if they have gone through the process, it's been a long process. And member tape, pro Tim, you've allowed me to hold it up. It didn't even come before your house. And you and I had a discussion about that, because I was nervous about that area over there. Member waters has also attended meetings, and member young, so we're all familiar with the matter. Thank you. And I'm glad we're here today, and I'm hoping that it will move forward. Thank you, Madam Chair, and thank
