President Wilshire
For the Affordable Housing Presentation, thank you for being here and we appreciate you doing this
presentation for us.
Sarah Marchant, Community Development Director
Thank you very much. | wanted to just open by saying that this is a project that the Mayor supported, along
with Economic Development and Director Cummings. This is a partnership together on this project and we
brought in RKG Associates who you will meet just shortly, Eric Halvorsen who has been a tremendous
asset to this process. And again we have worked pretty hard to understand a lot of data here. | know that
you got a report that’s over 80 pages long that’s in your packets. And so Eric is going to run through some
of the key highlights of this and then we hope to be able to have a discussion with you afterwards. So Eric,
| am going to turn it over to you to share your screen, if you have any trouble then | have your back.
Eric Halvorsen, RKG Associates
Can you see that there?
