What we would like is some commitments from University City Partners and the district to help us negotiate an exit from the UPOA agreements, the UPOA covenants that have existed since the 1980s, and then some commitments around simple things like making sure our green spaces up there are going to be maintained.
I know that's important to University City Partners as well, so we have every faith that that will be executed too.
I've held my remarks here very short, as we have a lot to get through tonight, obviously, but I have registered with the clerk of courts an extended version of these remarks, and I would invite you all to read those.
We're available to chat at any time.
Our HOA has been around for 30-plus years, and we are here to communicate with you.
Thank you very much.
Good evening, Councilman, Madam Mayor, Reverend Greg Gerald.

that I organize with, we think that the highest aim of our work is not always to be oppositional, but rather something that we call co-governance with elected bodies.

We listen to grassroots communities, to grassroots residents, to grassroots nonprofits and organizations.
We solicit support from several thousand Charlotte residents.
In our work, we're doing what we hear from you that you want, that is an active and engaged and informed citizenry.
You've heard from our people tonight from nearly a dozen of them.
And we're asking you now to listen and to vote with us.
I've brought with me the names of going on now 1,500 folks from around Charlotte who have signed on in support of the people's budget.
