All right. That was my last speaker card in person. We have completed in-person general public comment and will now be moving to remote comment. For remote commenters, it's recommended that you are in a quiet area with audio turned off on other devices, including your TV, to avoid feedback when you deliver public comment. Participants will be identified by either their name or their last four digits of their phone number. As a reminder, if you are calling from a blocked or private number, you will be introduced as anonymous.
