Where this project stands
Five steps, from the Board agenda to the closing. A disposition is the sale or transfer of a Land Bank property. The Council step is City Council's approval of the sale, which comes after the Board's approval.

Board hearings
One row for each Board hearing where this project was on the agenda. Fewer than six approving votes means no decision was reached; it is not a denial. Speakers and letters are public comments on the item.

How members voted
Shown only where the minutes or a transcript record how a member voted; a voice vote with no names shows no one. Y = yes, N = no, A = abstained, R = recused. A blank cell means no vote by that member is on record for that item.
