The private attorney representing UniDev, recommended changing the title and made minor changes to the body of the resolution. Although, the resolution was heard at the HCHA meeting held on December 21, 2005, I am requesting that this newly titled resolution be included on the Council agenda for action at its January 5, 2006, meeting instead.
