Requesting authorization to modify the existing Grant Agreement with institute on aging for the provision of the Community Living fund during the period of november 1, 2019 through june 30, 2021. In the amount of 700,000 plus a 10 contingency for a total amount not to exceed 10,564,736. Welcome, fannie. Good morning, commissioners. Program analyst for the office of community partnership. I am here to request modification to our existing contract with the institute on aging for the provision of the Community Living fund program to include a pilot for the administration of the Public Guardian housing fund. Currently, we provide the Services Using a twoprong approach of coordinated Case Management and purchases of goods and services. It serves San Francisco residents 18 and older with incomes of 300 of the federal poverty level. They must be able to live in the community with appropriate support and have demonstrated need with service or resource to prevent institutionalization. The modification we are requesting today for the provision of the monthly subsidies and moverelated costs for Public Guardian and conservators. Under the department of aging and Adult Services the office serves at the courtappointed conservator of vulnerable individuals and estates. Due to declining health, some of these individuals are marginally housed for prolonged periods of time while waiting for appropriate housing option. This funding will be used to help them attain or be placed in a safe and stable home such as assisted living, supported housing or similar housing. Those served must meet the c. L. F. And pg criteria. We will provide administration while the p. G. Office is Program Support including Case Management, in person visits, monthly approval of the housing subsidies and other activities to ensure the equitable access and appropriate use of the funds. The p. G. Office will prioritize access based on the conserveties need and the amount will be set okays by case base on the casebycase basis. The subsidy will range depending on the clients need, functional and financial. 30 to 50 of their income while others may be subsidized up to 100 due to lack of income or resources available. Based on the current need the p. G. Has identified for this funding, the fund can cover up to 10 conserveties annually. It will include monthly subsidies and moverelated cost and security deposits, moving boxes, packing and transportation for the move and furniture and other similar items. At this time i would be happy to answer questions from commissioners. I have one question. From the time the process begins for the individual until it is approved and the individual begins to get services, how much time does that normally take . Depending on where they are, we have entered into agreements with the facilities or supportive housing. If that is in place it could be very quick, within, i would say, less than a month. I would say two to four weeks. Then additional time may be required if vendor agreements havent been set yet. Thank you. Any other comments . A question on the operating expense details. The consultants, line 21. Appendix page b1, page 3, line 21. The contractor. Yes, at this time because this is a pilot program, c. L. F. May need to pull in a temporary staff to get this up and running. There is some funding allocated to allow that. Then as you can see on the next year, it is blank because by then we participate there will be an actual staff. Over the page, the purchase of service detail. 304,348 each year. What are they . That is the actual subsidy, the funding for the subsidies and the moverelated costs. Thank you. I have two questions. First should i consider the c. L. F. Similar to purchases services and Case Management. Are those similar in nature like a pace program. Should i think of c. L. F. Like a pace program . I think it would be similar. Of course, pace has something other. I think there are elements, the purchase of service dollars. Other than that, no, this is intensive Case Management to help people who are at risk of institutionalization to come out and live in the community, the community can mean in this case assisted living, but generally living in the community in San Francisco. We have found that the intensive Case Management is often what people need to stay at home safely. I want to add i it is the pay or of last resort. Any other comments or questions from the commission . Any comments or questions from the public. Hearing none, may i have a motion to approve. So moved. Second. Further comment . All in favor . Any opposed. Thank you the motion carries. Item j2019 through june 30, 2021 an additional amount of 200,000 plus 10 continuing been see for a total amount not to exceed 1 million. This item before you was an ad back. It is 100,000 per year ongoing with the idea of supporting cantonese language capacity in Advocacy Services around the Skilled Nursing facilities and assisted living facilities. We are going to do that in cooperation with the ombudsman who are going to use this funding to hire a contonies speaking staff person to focus on that. Ombudsmen provide services. They are known for responding to complaints by residents. They do a number of other things, providing consultations to facilities, families, residents, letting them know about their rights and things like that. Wit to any advance healthcare directives completed in a sniff. That is a legal requirements. Also including legislative hearings and changes in regulations and practices in this area. This is going to focus on skilled nurses facilities. Much of the work is with clients. They will also focus time on outreach and educational presentations within the facilities and within the target population to try to increase awareness and accessing of Ombudsman Services. Beyond the cantonese capacity that will be increased here, the program itself has a pretty good language capacity including mandarin, spanish and french and japanese. Thank you very much. Any questions or comments . A quick one. Within all of this on page 7 of 8. There is the designated community focal point. Is that where it is advertised. If you go there, people would hear about it and be able to know . The focal points are age and disability resource centers. California department of aging wants to make sure that when we do our big area plan we designate community focal points. These are places where hubs where information can be given out about the variety of services available. The California Department of aging wants us to make sure we identify those focal points in our contract documents with every contract that involves cda funding. The idea is here and it will be clear that the Ombudsman Program will say these people are out there. Yes, first the ombudsman can reach out to be sure they are aware of the services. We are also making sure the agencies are aware of the Ombudsman Service should someone come into that site needing assistance related to the facility. The idea is that the sites would know about that. They are informed and could helped. Thank you. Yes on the subcontractors 9 and 10. Chinese mandarin specialists. The other one is another dialect. Why is there a difference of 28,000 versus 16,000 . Is that because of the number of hours or what . Yes, the number of hours. What this represents back here is that the Ombudsman Program is doing whatever they can to get language capacity and get qualified people working for them. Sometimes there are people excellent ombudsman staff who have other things going on not looking for a fulltime job. Benson has done well to work with those folks to keep them in his stable of staff out there in the community so that is the difference there. Thank you. Any other comments or questions . Any comments or questions from the public . Hearing none may i have a motion to approve. So moved. Second. Any further comments or questions . Hearing none, call the question. All in favor. A. Thank you the motion carrieds. Next is to all right. Item 8. A motion regarding whether to disclose the discussions during closed session pursuant to San Francisco administrative code section 67. 12a. Do i have a motion for discussion purposes to disclose . So moved. Second. The motion is whether we should or should not disclose. If you are in favor of disclosure please indicate. Those opposed to disclosure. All in favor of not disclosing. A. Any opposed thank you. The motion is not to disclose the items that were discussed in the closed session. Any Public Comment on that particular motion . Thank you. Any general Public Comment . Good morning, commissioners and executive director. I am the director of the Richmond Senior center. I am not sure if this is the time to come in or if i should have come in at the beginning of the meeting. We look to invite you to an event we are hosting on october 19th. The Richmond Senior center in partnership with the round table, a coalition of senior agencies are going to be hosting one hard thing. That is an event we started with our village to recruit neighborhood volunteers to send them in pairs of two or three to the homes of seniors who have requested help with one hard thing. We did it twice a year at the start and the end of daylight savings time. It started with setting back clocks. Then additionally doing Something Like flipping a mattress or cleaning out behind the fridge or changing the Smoke Detector battery, those things that help people remain in their homes. It is so popular we do it quarterly. We wanted to host an event this october that encouraged leadership of agencies that serve seniors so they could see some of the great work other agencies are doing and meet the senior in the community. I did send an insight and you should get an email. We would love you to join us to see the good work that is happening out there. Thank you very much. Any other announcements .

Thank you. Good evening commissioners. I have a very brief update for you this evening. I just want to call attention to our annual retreat agenda. If you look under item three, there is a copy there for you, which is also been emailed. We are really looking forward to gathering this group together and discussing some of the things that are most pressing right now. We are going to have some policy updates, and some updates around the sound diplomacy project. We are going to hear from Senior InspectorJordan Roberts on Residential Development review, and some changes we are making to that process and try to actually better educate you so that you are better prepared at the hearing for those items. And then we are going to have an item around Strategic Planning where we bring back the work that we did it last years retreat trying to work out what our mission and values are. And get your feedback on all of that and make sure we are solidifying that at this years retreat. And then we are going to talk about how we can do a better job of promoting nightlife and entertainment. We would love your great ideas and we will help frame the discussion in advance of the retreat so we can have some good takeaways. I am planning to send out email in the next couple of days for a lunch order. Look out for that, we will need you to respond in terms of what you want. The only other update i have is relative to the appeal that we are handling for the citation for the onetime event related to a sound truck permit. We are happy to share that our decision was upheld. We will not appeal, which was great. The statement of decision is a foz when near packet under item three if you are curious to read it. Any questions . Thank you very much for that report. Any Public Comment on the executive directors report . Seeing none. Public comment is closed. Agenda item number four, which is a report the Deputy Director, kaitlyn azevedo. Good evening. Before i get into the report, i have highlighted a couple of areas i will discuss. I wanted to make mention we have seen an increase in complaints especially in the north beach area. Folks, obviously performing on the street, and an inspector in the district has been responding and we have been moving that along to sfpd and reallocating those. Just make mention of it. On page three i will mention arena s. F. We did get complaints, to complaints about them over a weekend and inspector did respond and he did find them out of compliance. He worked to bring the volume down, and then into compliance. We did issue a notice of violation for them being in excess of their salmonella. Page 5 their sound limit. Page 5, ive have located jackson, they place of entertainment they have three sound complaints, excuse me to sound complaints this past weekend and the inspector, upon responding to the complaint they found their front door open so they were given a verbal warning for the front door being opened he did take a sound reading. They were slightly above their sound reading, he just worked with the sound manager to bring them into compliance. We are keeping them on our radar. On page nine, usc virgin hotel is highlighted. Virgin hotel is a place of entertainment permit, however, their rooftop is conditioned where they can only have entertainment until 10 00 p. M. Due to a Planning Commission motion. That being said, we issued a verbal warning and then issued a notice of violation. Finally we issued a citation because upon multiple visits they had djs playing on the rooftop past midnight. They are now fully aware of their permit conditions. I have talked to the manager on multiple occasions. Going through their permit violations line by line. They are not to have any outdoor amplified sound, both the speakers on street level and rooftop area cannot have amplified sound of any kind past 10 00 p. M. This is per the Planning Commission. That is all i have highlighted. Im happy to answer any questions you have about the report. Just again, these rooftop venues are problematic. I appreciate you continuing to stay on top of them and the inspectors. It is frustrating them when they are going above and beyond. I feel like virgin hotel has been on the reports a lot. For a venue, and a hotel that big, it is really frustrating that they seem to be somehow forgetting their conditions. That is my note of frustration with them. S. B. M. West is on here a couple of times. I know they are not doing Rooftop Events anymore but i know it is frustrating for people. And then i noticed them not being really to give the owners Contact Information our inspectors. I think thats rude. [laughter] it is frustrating when staff, at these venues, are not able to engage with our inspectors in appropriate ways. We will be following up with him. We have had complaints about this venue in the past. We have not seen anything since september 2018. They are in an area that has a revelation cafe right in the area. We will be following up and obtaining Contact Information. I just noticed, this is the first we have heard, if im not correct, about jackson, right . Did it seem like after we visited them the first time they continue to operate too loudly . The first visit, the inspector did not take a sound reading, but the door was open. The second visit the door was still open, and they did a sound reading and they were out of compliance on the second visit. Was our third visit on a sunday . Was there a third visit on a sunday . I think i saw a third visit, i could be wrong. It was the site inspection that you seem. Got it. Okay. Did you get the sense it does say that they are, but that they are eager to work with us to make sure they are in compliance i will be contacting the owner directly myself. The inspector spoke with them on the phone on monday and conveyed that he was eager to be in compliance. I will be following up myself, too, just to say if you have a neighbor, dont give them reason to complain. Thank you very much for that report. Is there any Public Comment on the Deputy Directors report . Seeing none. Public comment is closed. Moving along, agenda item number five, report from the Senior Analyst, dylan rice. Good evening commissioners. Good evening, commissioners. Its been sometime since i have talked about zero waste policy updates. As you may recall, in 2018 the board passed the single use food where plastics toxics and lit reduction ordinance. In july of this year and january of next year, it is finally rolling out to be in effect. I wanted to give you guys an update. This ordinance definitely impacts Outdoor Events operationally, and financially. Organizers, food vendors, retailers. The point of the law is to reduce plastic pollution by prohibiting the distribution of Plastic Straws among other food where accessories. Also to eliminate toxic fluoride chemicals from food products. Im going to break it down to two buckets. The first bucket is things going into effect july 1, of 2019 and the second bike things going into effect january 1, of 2020. For july 1, this year, Plastic Straws are no longer allowed to be distributed. Not just at events, but also retailers. Paper straws may be at the booth, but they cannot be automatically given to the customer. They can be Available Upon request, or picking up from a kiosk for example. The other thing is that food and beverage vendors will no longer provide single use plastic accessories such as plastic beverage plugs, you seen those on coffee cups. Plastic cocktail steps sticks, stirrers and toothpicks, those certain single use accessories and condiments are allowed to be made Available Upon request. Things like lids two cups, you may have seen starbucks do that where they will have a lid available. And then condiment packages like soy sauce or catchup can still be Available Upon request. Little condiment cups you have seen those with the dispensers. Those kinds of things are not banned, but they are trying to distance dis incentivize people from using them. That is for july 2019 update. January of 2020, you may recall, the reasonable beverage cups ordinance that requires every event, on city property, that has 100 either provide reasonable beverage cups for 10 of attendees, or promote attendees to bring their own beverage cups. I just found out from the Environment Department, i went to training just hours ago, they are actually starting a program that is low cost for events to rent these cups from the Environment Department. There will be a Third Party Company that will get the cups back and wash them. It will be recycling these cups are reusing them at different events. They didnt want to spend extra money on hiring a private company. The other way to do it is that they can still show good faith effort in promoting the bring your own cup idea to attendees. That is another way that they can be in compliance. That is the up update. There is also stricter standards for compostable products now. Starting in january 1, 2020 all compostable products will have to be bpi certified, that is the institute that creates standards for what can be safely composted. Environmental department is going to publish a list of these approved products and vendors on their website very soon. My whole goal all along has been to educate Event Organizers as early as possible about these changes so they can plan their businesses accordingly. I will be doing another outdoor Event Industry bulletin and then more social media posts about this. And then this segues into the education initiative. In the winter of 2020 we will bring back the Outdoor EventsNetwork Mixer and we will department with the Environment Department and we will do an update on the policy. I want to make it a little less and try to find out a way to get an innovative Event Organizer to talk about creative low cost ways that they are able to increase the green. I just got a verbal yesterday from the environment i would like to partner with us. When i have more information on a date, time and location i will get back to you guys on that. This is a lot of information about the policy. Im happy to answer any questions, if i know them. I can also get back to you with specifics. This is not just only city property, right . Anything that is an enclosed area on the street . Actually that is a good point , yes. Food vendors will have to abide by these new rules, not just for the single use plastics. Not just on city property. If it was a private parking lot. What happens if i go to a Grocery Store within that party and then by something in the store can they bring it into the barricaded area . I think they would not be allowed to go inside the Grocery Store and then distribute the single use plastic items at the event. If i went to buy one myself . Being a citizen . Oh, yeah. Were not there yet. You can still go to the Grocery Store and buy plastic and whatever want. Crazy. Im just curious. Have you spoken to some of the smaller events and how these might affect their bottom lines . Yeah, so, was that a year ago, maggie . We did a focus group with small Event Organizers as well as the environment invited some vendors , and they express concerns about how its going to be a big shift for them in terms of, you know, sourcing and pricing out the new materials and then the other concern was the speed of alcohol sales was a concern. The idea is if you bring your own reusable cup to a bar, and they accidentally contaminate the spouts with your reusable cup they have to stop everything and sanitize the spout which will slow things down. There is going to be a trial period where we will see how things are going. Those concerns were expressed. What is the repercussion for violating the ordinance . They are enforcing through their ecology audits. Every event has to have the materials taken off premises and then it gets sorted at the facility. That data is sent back to the Environment Department. If there is a concern about contamination, the environment takes an approach where they try to problem solve with the. I think they can levy fines if it gets extreme. My impression is that was more about, you know, helping people find a pathway to compliance. Thank you very much for that update. Can i make a comment about Something Else . I just want to make a comment, had a chance to go to a producers focus group last month, thank you for organizing that, dylan. We had a great meeting where we had discussion about the challenges and the permitting cycle and, i just have a comment on a question for you. Im happy to report across the board, people are very appreciative of the work that you are providing for the producers. I just want to let you know that you doing a great job. People really appreciate your helpfulness, and the work that you are doing on the value you are providing to other event producers. We also have a lot of complaints about other departments, across the board they really love you. Thank you. Thank you for the job youre doing. Im just wondering if you have any other updates about the survey . I need to defer to the director on that. I think maybe you missed our last commission meeting, they did a brief update on the Steering Committee meeting then. Since it is not on the agenda, i would prefer to talk to you about it after the meeting. Okay. Thank you. Any Public Comment on the Senior Analyst report . I am seeing none. The Public Comment is closed. The next agenda item is the Police Department comments and questions. I dont see any officers present, unless you gentlemen are undercover . We are going to move on to number seven, which is hearing and possible action regarding application for permits under the jurisdiction of the entertainment commission. The only permit application on the agenda tonight is for a place of entertainment for travertine located at 1231 Market Street. The hotel was built in 1916, and has been a mainstay of the midmarket district for over 100 years. The applicants are applying for a permit with the intention to host ticketed events and their large ballroom and their smaller size conference room. They hope to have live musicians, djs, and resident artists and theatrical performances. Included in your file or 13 letters of support from the neighboring businesses on Market Street as well as letters from the midmarket cbd and the Hotel Council of San Francisco. No opposition submitted for this permit. Tenderloin station approve this apartment would not added conditions. Here to tell you more as a hotels general manager and the Senior Vice President , evan altman. Think you everyone. Thank you for allowing us to speak tonight. You took half of my opening story. If you guys are familiar with the Hotel Whitcomb. It was the functioning city hall from 19121915 as this building was being rebuilt which is wildly cool. And then opened its doors to the public. John and i represent the Ownership Group and management companies. We operate six other hotels on the city, that is the huntington , the park central over on third and market, two hotels in union square and the Hotel Whitcomb. We have been operating in the city for a little less than ten years now. The Hotel Whitcomb has such a colorful story. A great history to it. From 1916 up until the mid 40s, early 50s, it was the epicenter of entertainment for the midmarket area, hosting a lot of the great events. From the 60s onward it went a different direction and changed a lot of hands it is very much our intention to revitalize this building as this theatrical creative hub for the community. The architecture is spectacular. The ceilings are 22 feet, it has original marble and the woodwork. It is incredibly dynamic. The old fox theater that was demolished back in the 60s. A way to bring this back, our first effort in doing so, is taking over the ballroom with an immersive Theater Theater company to do a theatrical performance where the audience is engaging with performers. It is a ticketed event. We cant give away too much of the narrative because were hopefully going to go out with the press announcement. We expected this first want to run for six months. We will be redesigning the whole property and rebanding the property. Over the next 1218 months. During this interim phase we have some of the empty real estate that we want to reintroduce the hotel to the community. Once again kind of embrace all of the great things about San Francisco from a theatrical and performance perspective. That is our story. Any questions . I believe we passed all of our inspections and we provided the Community Support letters. Thank you for coming in. Just wondering what is your background and experience in doing entertainment events at your other properties . So, i am based in new york. John is our general manager here. We operate food and beverage outlets which could be deemed as entertainment. It is really trying to be part of the arts community. I started my hotel career at the w San Francisco in early 20012,002. The Hotel Whitcomb is the first facility we have that has that real estate in order to do something more theatrical. Okay. Thank you. What do you guys do for security Market Street and eighth street is a little challenging. Part of the things we will try to do now at least some of the places im working with is to protect the patrons, things like that where they have to park. Can you explain how your outside security may be handling your guests . I think there is two layers to that. First is we have a back alley which is actually were work uber actually drops off. That is the back entrance to the hotel. No patrons will be dropped off or even picked up for that matter on Market Street. That is a contained area where we have a thirdparty Valet Company taking care of any vehicles and they their the arrival experience. We worked with a Contract Security company now called secure lawn. On show nights we plan on tripling the size, i believe it is one per 100 guests. We expect the largest audience to be about 200. With that said we would have no less then 4 security detail controlling entrances. Market street is very active as we all know. We specifically want the theater entrance to be contained off Market Street and we will have people posted up all throughout the building. Looking out for our hotel guests. Outside, sidewalks. Thats right. It is more like a lounge kind of thing. Yes. The sound is and or does it depend on who is coming and . Bringing in the sound that would be specific to that show. Nothing robust. We do have hotel guests that are one floor up. Really it is more theatrical sound then it would be nightclub sound, right . It is not heavy base, it is more performancebased. How do you plan to monitor the level . Are you planning to have an inhouse engineer to help you out . We have staff and a manager that is their 24 hours a day. We will have decibel readers that will monitor those levels. When the inspector comes on and as youre reading you have a set level . That is correct. No inhouse sound . It is in the back of the building close to the alleyway. The people that we could potentially disturb would be hotel guests and we dont want that noise to travel. We still typically do weddings, the way the buildings design, acoustically, the room is very suppress them. Even the rooms above it we really when we did our sound testing we pushed the limits as high as we could, and did not even realize we were doing a sound test. Its been a place where Theater Companies and symphonies have actually rehearsed for years, for that reason. The room is beautifully designed acoustically. Do you have extra lighting in the alley for the uber . It is very well lit. All right. Im more worried about the outside than inside. Thank you. I dont have any questions. It sounds like a cool project and im looking forward to see what you come up with her. You can have a seat. In 20 thank you is there any Public Comment on this . Thank you. Is there any Public Comment on this . Seeing none. I moved to approve the permit. Second. [roll call] congratulations. Your permit has been approved. Please follow up with our Deputy Director at your earliest convenience. All right. The calm before the storm meeting. We have a lot of permits coming through the hopper right now. Enjoy this short meeting tonight ladies and gentlemen. The final agenda item is commissioners comments questions. Do you have anything on your mind . Good, because i do. Oh, please. [laughter] i want to wish everyone a happy hispanic heritage month. Also, happy Filipino American history month. I just want to say how lucky am proud i am to live in a city that really celebrates diversity and cultural heritage. Enjoy the month. Thank you for that. I am looking forward to this retreat. We do have one more meeting before the retreat, right . We can talk about of a little more there. I watched this a news segment on restaurants close and great i dont know if you had a chance to i have noticed a lot of this coverage on Small Businesses closing in the city is pretty onesided. I think they tend to focus on greedy landlords and the scorch of millennials who have changed their habits that are destroying our businesses. I dont think that coverage is fair. I think it might sell ads, but i dont think it is actually fair. I dont think we need to face the role that this building has on our government having the situation for Small Businesses right now. I have been chicken little. Ive been going to a ton of hearings and screaming. Im like little at the end, when the sky is actually falling but nobody believes him. For so many years, Small Business people have been, you know, frustrated and continuous complaining. As i was thinking about it, you know, there is at least five different ways that city hall affects Small Businesses. Right now it is affecting us in ways that are almost impossible to overcome for many businesses. We have fees. We have examples like the outdoor seating fee. If you wanted to have seating in your outdoor space which out of the blue double to 4,500 per year, if you want to have tables and chairs outside of your restaurant. We have taxes, including some very strange taxes. One the city levy calls on secured property. What is on secured property mean . It means anything not secured to the ground. Tables, chairs, sofas that they tax you on which is very strange writing that check every year. For some Business People it doesnt seem to make any sense. Lavishly there is legislation, like we talked about this new compostable products. They are talking about putting up a fee for her to go boxes right now is city hall. All of these things add up. And then there is things that i think affect us, in our department, which is the permitting process and enforcement from different departments. There is a give and take, and there is a social compact we have as businesses. We pay our taxes and our fees and we try to follow the rules. The city provides basic services. I think, you know, right or wrong there is a sense of right now from a lot of Small Businesses that the city is not holding up their end of the bargain. There is cleanliness issues. There is serious Public Safety and Public Health issues. I want this a body to constantly think about what our role is. Especially around enforcement and permitting. Im going through permitting right now for two businesses that i have. It is like entering a soviet era maze of bureaucracy that is so frustrating, and so insane sometimes. The main thing is that a lot of the people we come across, in the departments, either treat us with open disdain or indifference. From a Business Owner standpoint , when you are paying so much and you are doing so much, it is extraordinarily frustrating when youre dealing with permitting or enforcement, and you dont have somebody treating you like a human being. In many ways we are the customer, right . I am actually really proud of this department here. We are the Gold Standard for treating our permit holders like humans and customers. I want us to continue to be the example of how to treat businesses and partners to work with businesses who are in understanding roles, and only in rare occasions, where we do have issues that with businesses that are not behaving the way that they should. They should be the ones who are reserved for our apathy or disdain. I just wanted to point that out. I think things are about to get worse. We had at least ten restaurants in the last two weeks. My guess would be we could take 3050 more net loss restaurants. I would guess before february or march, that would be my guest. A lot of the reason that is happening is because of things that are happening in this building. I just wanted to point that out. I will continue to work on it, and i think we should. Thank you for hearing me out here. Any other comments . All right. Is there any Public Comment on my words . Seeing none. Public comment is closed. We will adjourn this meeting at exactly 6 11 p. M.
