Thank you, Ms. Beguerell. The CRA consent agenda consists of two items and may be approved with one motion. Does any member of the commission wish to pull an item? Hearing none. Does any member of the public wish to pull an item? I don't have any cards. Oh, I'm sorry. Yes, I do. Mr. Conklin would like item number two. I'm sorry. We're not ready yet, sir. Oh, sorry.

Yes. Mr. Conklin, CRA item number two is the motion to receive the expenditures report for the community redevelopment district.

Dennis Conklin, 4581 Northwest CIS Court. I had a question on the week three, the Vance real estate service, $2,500. That's not a usual expense. I was just curious about that. Has that got to do with the famous Florida grocer or some other thing?

Mr. Nenemacher, if you can, please.

Yes, ma'am. Jason Nenemacher, CAO. That was an appraisal we had performed on 400 420 Media Express building. We have a foreclosure action pending, and we wanted to get a sense of the value to weigh some of our options in that regard. Thank you. Thank you. I yield back my time.

Thank you, sir. Can I have a motion on item number two? Motion to approve item two.

Second.

Any further discussion, comments? Ms. Beggarrode, please call the roll.

Commissioner Anderson?

Yes.

Commissioner Andreu? Yes. Commissioner Fajan? Yes. Commissioner Horland? Yes. Commissioner Reinstein? Yes. Commissioner Sortel? Yes. Thank you.

Are there any public comments for the CRA portion of the meeting? Mr. Conklin?

Again, Dennis Conklin, 4581 Northwest CIS Court. I want to compliment whether it's the CRA, which you were all directors of, or if it's the Gateway 7, I congratulate you on putting up the safety railings in the median of 441. Many of the other municipalities in Broward have started to do that to protect our pedestrians, particularly now that we're getting housing in the commercial district of the CRA. So hats off for the safety. Yield back time.

Thank you, sir. Any other additional comments regarding the CRA? Before we adjourn, I would just, for the listening and viewing audience and those of you who are here, there's a member of the Park East community who passed recently. And so we just want to keep the family. Those of you who know Kingsley Smith and he did a lot of great work in that community. And so we want to just keep the family in our thoughts and prayers during this difficult time. And on that note, it is now 6.05. We are going to adjourn the CRA portion of the meeting. And the council meeting will begin at 6.10 p.m. Thank you. Thank you.

Thank you.
