<br />C. Management Updates for Kottinger Place and Ridge View Commons <br /> <br />D. Miscellaneous Project Updates <br /> <br />A motion was made by Commissioner Whisnand, seconded by Commissioner Jones, <br />to approve the consent calendar. Motion approved unanimously. <br /> <br />6. MEETING OPEN TO THE PUBLIC <br /> <br />[There were no speakers on non-agenda items.] <br /> <br />7. MATTERS CONTINUED FOR DISCUSSION <br /> <br />[There were none.] <br /> <br />8. PUBLIC HEARINGS AND OTHER MATTERS <br /> <br />A.

However, the <br />managers ofthe properties audited received a letter explaining the audit, noting that it is <br />for educational purposes, and inviting them to free training seminars for management <br />personnel. The reactions Ms. Colbert shared earlier were in response to that letter.
