MINOR

The document was converted from a cover letter and draft resolution into an official enrolled resolution. The text was reorganized to remove the letter format and add official resolution numbering and citation details, but the core policy content regarding the $437,216 annual subsidy for 13 affordable housing units remains unchanged.

Scope change

The scope of the bill itself did not change; only the document format changed from a draft letter to an official enrolled resolution.

TECHNICAL

Removed the cover letter addressed to Chairman Mendelson and replaced it with the official enrolled header and resolution text.

Reordered the resolution sections to follow standard legislative formatting, moving the legal basis to Section 2 and adjusting section numbers for Transmittal, Fiscal Impact, and Effective Date.

Added official resolution citation numbers (e.g., 26-372) and formatting consistent with enrolled legislation.
