[12:35:35 PM] >> Exhibit a, both of them actually don't show any investment in home ownership and so I just wanted to make the comment that I'm looking specifically at housing development assistance program where it's just a dash. If you look at ownership housing development assistance there's nine G.O. Bonds and if you look at the other, exhibit 8, you will see only about 25 people as it relates to home buyer assistance. And I just wanted to call that to your attention because as you are aware, when you approved the St. Johns 19 acres there was no home ownership included in that. So I just lastly will say that the same arguments that you keep hearing about the permanent supportive housing and candlewood applies to he is sparrow Rutland permanent supportive housing as well and I would ask you to take into consideration the memo that I sent to you guys for item 118 for councilmember tovo last week. It's still relevant today. And for the people who are [12:36:36 PM] listening, pandemicoversight.gov is where you can actually file a fraud waste or abuse complaint -- [buzzer]. And I just -- I believe it's important for you -- >> Speaker, your time has expired. >> Harper- madison: Thank you. And clerk, I'd like to clarify for the record, I said adjourn the council meeting at 12:35. We needed to Vess the council meeting at 12:35. My apologies for that. I believe we have an in- person speaker for the Austin housing finance corporation. >> Yes. Pepper Medina. And I don't believe she is present. >> Harper-madison: Okay. Give me a moment because I do believe -- so that's it. So with that, I am going to recess the Austin housing [12:37:36 PM] finance corporation meeting at 12:37 and go back to the Austin city council meeting. [Pt. 2 – August 12, 2021 portion of meeting] At this point I'm going to recess the Austin city council meeting here at 9:13 and I am going to convene a meeting of the Austin housing finance corporation.

We had earlier convened to take testimony in the Austin housing finance corporation. Is there anyone here to speak that would like to speak?
