Stand up to the podium, introduce yourself, and the presentation will be on the screen.”

Let's read it into the, you know, she has, you know, the patience to participate in the process, so let's read her statement. So I hope they like the bright white paint. Personally, I think they need to deepen the color and the ceiling of the balconies to tone down the glare that is going to be experienced.

“Okay. It's a beautiful project. Any more comments from the board? No. I think with the modification, which I suppose was managed by the design architect, right? Correct.

So is there a motion here? Wait, we got a public comment. Yes, we have public comment over here. Two seconds.”
