Members of the public, this is your community to press star and 3 to be into theed into and to speak to any of the legacy business applications. I will take the first caller, and you have three minutes. Caller hello, commissioners. I am Chris Hillard i apologize i am getting some feedback here. Sorry about that. Commissioner, again, thank you for allowing me to speak. I am Chris Hillard, and my wife and i are the coowners of farleys, the coffee house on petrero hill. We have been there for 31 years now. And my father started farleys originally when he broke his french press and could not find a replacement part and found petrero hill could be the ideal location and we really became to embrace our motto which became community in the cup when the earthquake happened in 1989 and a lot of power around water in the city was out, except on petrero hill, and no one was going to work, so the neighborhood really came together and came to farleys and we became a Community Gathering space. That is really how community in a cup, our motto, began, and what we embrace today and we certainly hope to be approved for a legacy business to carry that on. As we all know, community is needed right now more than ever. I want to thank you for your consideration and thank you very much. Clerk thank you. [no audio. Sir, we lost your audio.
