He seems to be unmuted. There were problems. Commissioner scott are you unmuted thank you everyone for being patient. Well cap up with our technology. Can you hear me now . Yes. I heard everyone in test mode. Steven, can you hear me . Yes. Thank you very much.

I know weve seen footage of people gathering in dolores park this weekend, and the possible impact that could have.
