[19:09] annual report of the landmarks commission. Uh this is
[19:15] for years of the commission and the work of our commission
[19:22] prior year. All right. So the purpose of this report

[20:25] commission for approval. In addition to the commission, we also have a site
[20:30] visit subcommittee which is comprised of members of the commission and members of
[20:35] public. And the other thing I'd like to commission
[20:39] me
[20:43] so we
[20:54] do here is really the The bread and butter of what we deal with at
[20:59] commission is we call application specific
[21:06] deals with any alterations
[21:10] of building
[21:18] the things people can apply for your roof
[21:26] sidewalk. driveways
[21:30] and windows just some of the things that can do
[21:38] that. This application is what we provide to public
[21:52] focus on the exterior of the home and the property of the
[21:56] anything home obviously building permits to go
[22:01] through that process but that falls out
[22:07] or what
[22:16] people are always surprised to know this but we remind people that we have four
[22:21] historic districts park being the largest
[22:26] properties
[22:30] small and mighty districts
[22:36] and then the Milwaukee Road resistance
[22:48] all these properties are tax credits.
[22:55] In addition to four districts, we have 46 individually listed
[23:05] charitable foundation.

[23:38] So this is breakdown 2025. We had a 25% increase
[23:53] last year 40% by step. So the majority of workers
[24:08] not
[24:11] project
[24:20] and here's
[24:25] a lot of players a lot a few other
[24:33] commission likely work very well together. We operate pretty efficient
[24:40] and we really appreciate learning about project.
[24:50] That being said, I'll just wrap up with the notable project that we dealt with

[25:12] on the residential side project that's wrapping up
[25:18] church
[25:22] campus

[25:45] I would say
[25:51] these two projects in particular
[25:57] position a lot of work in the last two years.
[26:10] So commission
[26:15] all the properties that come to us through that process through
