Introduction → Enrollment · 3 edits

MINOR

The document changed from a Mayor's nomination letter to an Enrolled Resolution officially confirming the appointment. The substantive policy content regarding the nominee's qualifications and the effective date remained unchanged, but the format was converted to the final legal text required for the Council to formally record the appointment.

TECHNICAL

The document format was converted from a cover letter and draft resolution into the final Enrolled Resolution text, adding the official resolution number (26-385) and date (May 5, 2026).

The Mayor's signature block, dated February 13, 2026, and the attached biographical resume were removed as they are no longer needed in the final enrolled bill.

Minor text corrections were made to the resolution body, such as changing '3-yearterm' to '3-year term' and standardizing the citation of the District of Columbia Housing Authority Act.
