Adel fung. I am one of four coowners of 275 fullsome street. Most of the major rehabilitation work was done from 2012 to 2014 under the previous owners. But we as the new owners are looking to tackle a number of major scope items on specifically of wood deterioration and the curbed wood te deterioration, the compe reroofing and attention to an overlooked slightly inaccessible patch of land that started to grow vegetation. The rehabilitation needs came on our radar as homeowners, wear and tear of the original curved windows and even the mosaic that revealing, especially the turette was older than it looks from the strateg street view. We readdressed the items over the next three years focusing on the wood rot with the upcoming rainy season and curved windows. We hope that the city is able to support us in this investment. I appreciate the opportunity to introduce myself and to give the vote of confidence that the property tax savings from the mills act contract will truly help offset co

So i just wanted to put that out there so as this gets forwarded on to the goa, maybe theyll remember that. Commissioner johns . I did get the impression from the presentations that were made that there is an economic necessity for this money to be aloallocated so these folk and p up the properties. That was my belief based on the testimony. And in terms of communicating to the board of supervisors, these are structures worthy of preservation and some will be expensive to preserve.
