Discussion. Kubby/ I do want to make a few comments especially because the vote on the specifications came after Green View and there was a lot of discussion about the issue of concentration. That this is just one of the many steps of planning for this and this has been going on for more than a year and so I donSt find this at all an uncomfortable position to be in to vote for us building 33 s.f. units. Twenty of them are in the Tenant Owner Program, right? That they will eventually end up being owned by the tenants that live in them. I know there is something else I want to say. Oh, and I am really glad that some of them may have some passive solar design built into them and I am glad that we could orient them on the land and figure out a way to come in at the budget for the square footage with all the HUD requirements and still do the solar gain thing. So I appreciate our architect spending lots of time designing this. Thank you. Horow/ Thank you. Any other discussion? Roll call- (yes). Resolution is adopted.
