“No. You'll be able to do that when we open it up. Okay, so I start this meeting with some sad news. In late May, we lost our former mayor, Jeannie Rosenfield. She was not only a respected teacher, leader, she was also my neighbor, and I had many interactions with her. So I wanted to take a moment to recognize her. And, you know, this was a... Bell Harbor was... was a second home for her. She was the mayor for two terms. She served on the council and she was a very respected member of the community and I'm going to read a little bit about her in this proclamation that is going to be signed by…”

“Okay. I guess I want to start because I wasn't here for first reading, and I do want to thank the Vice Mayor for taking on last month's meeting, which was also an LPA, and you did a great job. I was actually watching from the plane, but I wasn't allowed to participate in the Zoom. I wanted to hear what you were going to say when I wasn't here, you know. But this was something that originally came out of a discussion that we had at one of our council retreats. And it's something where the ARB, while I see a lot of value in it, there are times where it could seem like it's really a... a…”

I'm just saying that I don't know why the ARB needs to opine on, you know, the color of the wood that clads the cabanas in, you know, or the basketball court, you know, things that have been voted on by a majority of the owners of a building shouldn't require, you know, shouldn't have to go through this process.
