Good afternoon, commissioners. Good to see you again. So this is a project that we are happy to be able to support. We were able to work out a deal with the project sponsor that will guarantee that these jobs will be like any of the other jobs in the Hotel Industry and especially union square. The workers will have the right to join a union, which is life changing for them. We were able to work out a deal that covers the buildings trades as well. Were pleased to support this project. I will be happy to answer any questions you might have. Thank you, ms. Gomez. Good afternoon, commissioners. My name is kevin carroll. Im the executive director of the Hotel Council of San Francisco.
