to operate transitional housing for refugees and recommendation to approve the finding that the short term lease transaction with shelter and peace is exempt from the Surplus Lands Act as amended. Thank you, Ms.. Potter. Are you presenting on this? And this is this is something that has been in the works for a while. It's a project that I'm really proud of our city council for moving forward. And I think it really just puts into action the slogan Getting a little faded, but still as meaningful as ever in the back of the room that everyone belongs here. Miss Potter. Good evening. I'm Debbie Potter, the clean development director. And the mayor has just on my staff, which is fine with me because I wholeheartedly agree that this is something that the city and the council has been at for several years now. And it has been quite the process to get this single family home out at the base renovated. And the renovation is currently underway so that we can enter into a lease with a nonprofit called Shelter in Peace, who is going to run transitional housing for immigrants and refugees at the house. And so this is the very last step, I'm quite hopeful, which is the introduction of an ordinance for a lease with shelter in peace. That is a one year ordinance with four and one year lease with for one year options to extend for for a total term of five years. The lease transaction this evening is exempt from the Surplus Lands Act because given the short term nature of the lease, it is not considered a property disposition under the Act. And then just a few highlights of the term of the lease. It is a one year annual rent, a security deposit of $1,000. The use will be limited to transitional housing for refugees. You said it was a one year annual rent. Did you mean to say a dollar amount? Maybe $1? Sorry. Thank you. The tenant who is sheltering peace will do all of the referring and placement of the families, and they will be responsible for maintaining insurance and for all of the standard repairs and maintenance. And with that, staff is recommending that the City Council introduce an ordinance on first reading for for this lease for the single family home on San Diego Road. Could I ask that whoever is playing music or a cell phone step out of the out of the chambers. Oh, okay. But perhaps it was just him. Okay, so any questions or comments from them? From the council? No problem. No emotion. I'm of approval. Second. Okay. We have a motion. It's been seconded. All in favor. I and it's a the motion passes unanimously. And I just want to thank shelter and peace and Ms.. Potter and your staff for all the good work in bringing this this project to fruition. And we look forward to doing our part to help this community. Thank you so much for being here. And, you know, we actually have a I know, applause rule.
