[inaudible] clerk okay. That motion carries 40. The matter is continued to august 12. Okay. So now, we are moving onto item number 1, which is general Public Comment. This is an opportunity for anyone who would like to speak on a matter within the boards jurisdiction but is not on tonights calendar. If you do want to speak in general Public Comment, please raise your hand. We do have a comment from zach karnazes. Alec will queue up the video. Im having to read this Public Comment from bed because im having some Health Problems right now. I want to thank Julie Rosenberg for her help in making sure that access is improved for board of appeals meetings. She has done more than almost any City Employee that i know of to help with the disabled accessing public meetings.
