Uh to a point where Gilbert Wood will take a direct call from any of you this room to ask a question about our company or to bring up a concern about one of our properties. And so with that, I'll uh I'll bring Chris back up to talk about 501 Pond Street. Again, we're excited about this opportunity.

Congratulations, Michaela. It is with great pride to recognize Jake Young for this award. Jake's strong work ethic and determination are qualities that do not go unnoticed in Molton High School community. Jake's teachers report year after year that he is a dedicated and compassionate student who is willing to step outside of his comfort zone and take academic risks. He sees every day as an opportunity to do his best and prepare for his future. On top of Jake's academic obligations, he also commits his time to BHS's basketball and baseball teams, a part-time job, and gives back to the community as a coach and mentor to aspiring young athletes. They're very busy as well. It is this type of self-discipline and dedication to others that propels him in and outside of the classroom. Jake is planning on studying political science and playing college basketball at William Penn University in the fall.

Um, it sounds like second reading on the natural features resolution has been postponed. Um, so I look forward to the discussion tonight. I only just became aware of this resolution. I want to thank everyone who worked on it. Um, I'll just state what you probably have already heard and already know. The draft comprehensive plan is meant to replace the 2004 natural features masters plan master plan.
What happened to the army? Because it's not happening. I mean, our principal, vice principal, Miss, they're awesome. But once again, in the fourth, fifth, and sixth grade, they go to Mrs. Campbell. Like I said, amazing woman. I love her to death. But as a counselor, she's not doing her job. And then these kids are feeling like nobody cares and they're being bullied on social media. The ones that have it, you know, the kids that are bullying them at school are also bullying them on social media and or and they're hearing about it or they're seeing it. Where is the help at school and you know my 10-year-old had her teacher put on because there were numerous kids in her class that had been bullied. So apparently they felt that that was the class that was having problems. So therefore, you know, she was part of the problem because she didn't see it.
Uh and we've brought some other uh improvements to the project itself to improve the design and I think to improve the overall uh relationship with with Ashlin proper. So with that, thank you. I'll turn it back over to Chris. Thank you, Mike. Uh, so as some of you may be aware, uh, the project 501 Pond Street has been stalled for some time. Uh, so wind has entered into an agreement to purchase, uh, site from Tras Development. Uh, and think that, you know, we have a, uh, viable path forward from a financing. Um, as I'm sure you're aware, there's a lot of constraints in the market right now. it's difficult to get housing uh development started. Um so we have uh we'd like to you know talk about the uh proposed financing plan going for bond financing low-inccome housing tax credits. Um but you know in addition to having the uh you know financing path that we think is viable uh wind was attracted to this opportunity because think that uh uh the current ownership as well as the planning board really good job with design something that we're excited proud to step in take ownership.

You're welcome to stay if you would like to leave. Now is a great time. Congratulations everybody. Thank you. Thank you. All right. Comments from the audience. Anyone remaining who would like to make a comment? Uh, I don't think we have any additions to the agenda. Correct. Correct. All right. On to routine business items and the approval of minutes. We have a motion, please, to approve the minutes of the March 13, 2025 board of education business meeting. Second.
Every every student who participates is a winner, right? It takes a lot of uh courage and dedication to go out there and uh do your best out there in the fields. And I know that every child uh played their heart out there. Um, so you know, uh, uh, I guess if I had to sum it up in one moment, uh, Renaissance at Matson for the boys championship and it was won in overtime on penalty kicks. So, you know, we you know, when when when our kids play, they they play all what is it 90 minutes of soccer and, you know, all the way into overtime. So, thank you so much Just wanted to add my thanks to everybody who made this happen. Thank you to the students who participated. Everybody uh you guys are the winners. But obviously it wouldn't have been a game had other people not gotten involved.
So, we appreciate all of your all of your support. Um, and please extend our thank you to Miguel Ernnandez as well, okay? Um, our your executive director. And then we also want to acknowledge and bring up another group, and we're going to bring them up um all at the same time, our student ambassadors. So we could have them come up now. So we'll have you guys right up over here just facing facing our our um our folks here. And I know not all of them are here, but we're going to acknowledge all of them and read out their names. And then for the ones that are here, we have a a certificate for you as well of recognition. So just a little bit about what they do. Um they're at every single LCAP session, right? There's five of them. They're some of them are part of the uh steering committee.
But looking through the comp plan language, there's very little about natural features except for generalities. And some of the current language hints at weakening our current natural features protections uh in the name of encouraging more development, especially housing. We badly need new housing, but housing development and natural features protection can be compatible. Um most new development should be in locations that will make the least ecological impact, especially on the remaining biodiversity in our city. This resolution is not prescriptive as I read it uh but should serve to call council and planning commission's attention to natural features protection as uh as the planning commission works out the final comp plan language. Um, just a personal note where I live, northeast Ann Arbor, just in the last few weeks, two areas that I've often used to find quiet and solace, the parcel just east of Nixon Road, adjacent to uh, Clay School and the area north and west of the U of M's North Campus Research Center have been completely leveled.
But the kids that had had the problem had already gone to the counsel and she was the teacher to two of my grandchildren in sixth grade. Never had a problem. communicated to me about my fifth grader because she's her one her teacher now and she had my youngest one in second grade never had a problem. She's always communicated with me and I feel really horrible that she's the one that is on leave until all this is figured out when I know what kind of teacher she was for two sixth graders. Yeah. and a second grader and you know all this I know what kind of teacher she is, what kind of a person she is. She's very caring and if she knew that there was bullying going on, she would have stopped and then we get told as he did too, well, we can always put him in a different classroom so they're not with the kids that are bullying him.
So you know to that end like to you know make a note that we have no uh plans to uh change the design of the facade or the overall building. So the total unit count at 120 is the same unit mix between one bedrooms and two bedrooms same. Um there will be we do anticipate a couple of updates to the programming uh within the building to facilitate uh wind management way that we operate. To Mike's point, we operate in perpetu long-term owners and there's a number of things that we like to see know a few examples including generated. So, that's something to see included in this development. Um, or the addition of a few more offices adjacent to the lobby for on-site property management and leasing staff to have right there on site. And then, you know, some tweaks to the like to see the room for parties, things like that.
This one's ripped out to left center field. Left fielders under it for the third out. Not before the Spartan score another one. It is 13-7 going top five. Hey boys. Hey. [Music] [Applause] And we're back for the top of the fifth. 13-7 Spartans is the score. Olly Clacka is now pitching for the Spartans as he throws ball one to Jacob Fehey. [Music] And there's strike one. [Music] 3-1 offering. And it's outside for ball four. And we have a pitch runner for Fehee. Landon Eldridge up the bat. He singled his last time up. Takes strike one. Ball high. [Music] [Applause] slider and hi. Actually, we're going to call a Boach. A Bach called on Oi Clacka. The runner goes to second. [Music] That one's in the dirt. Two in one. [Applause] That one is fouled. [Music] 3-1 taking high. Actually, that was 22. Now it's full count.
[Applause] [Music] First pitch inside. Ball one. [Music] Fast ball inside again. Ball [Music] two. Slider in the dirt. Ball three. Sports desperately need some base runners. Cannot keep leads getting away from them early in games. Three 0. Now it's inside. Ball four. Four pitch walk to start out the inning. Now up to the plate, Mason [Music] Graasso. [Applause] [Music] Slider was on on the ground to third. Third try to get two now and he throws on a first and he's safe. An air from the third baseman trying to get two bases for the double play, but he looked wait for the ball too quick and it got the ball got away from him. Now Berser's got first and second. Nobody out for Maxwell Carlin. He singled his first time up. [Music] showing bunt. He couldn't get the butt down, but it was able to get in the dirt and the runner was going to move from second to third.
Uh, does anyone have any questions, comments, or edits on these minutes? All those in favor of the motion, please say I. Anyone opposed? Abstaining. All right. Board of Ed committee reports and finance. We have a lot. So, we met yesterday for our finance committee meeting. Ryan, myself back in Saul. And so from a budget standpoint, we're 63% expended. Um that's just assuming full expenditures at this point. Um no reason to change any of those projections at this point. Um overall, we're projecting a balance um of the budget of $435,000. So um if you can actually go to the third page of this long schedule. Wanted to talk about some of the transfers that are being requested. um and what you know think about what we want to do in terms of um you know the give back for the next year. So you'll see there's 435,000 um there are transfers two large transfers that will require approval over on the bottom left of the chart.
