And moderator if you can let this member of the public in so they miprovide comment. Nobody here. Mr. Patrick wanted to comment on consent . Put him through . He has come back. Hi this is jim patrick. Concerning the scene calendar and the leases associated there with the we have been going for 5 years and the down stairs area on the south side is barely populated. In terms of leasing. And that is a strategic problem we need shorter leases. I believe we need torous the build out expense. By not requiring union larp. These are policy. I believe the Real Estate Agent representing the people wants longer leases that drives up the real estate commission. The goal is to be the retailer is successful in making money. And when they make money. You can have a happy retailer getting the good market price. You cant dom it with 68 over roadway temperature is too much to ask in my opinion. Thats a policy issue. And you want to take advantage of the members as i said earlier we have 3,000 people a day going throughout Transit Center. 27 minutes dwell time that is significant and should be able to capitolize on this that we had some policy in place relative to the logs. Thank you. Thank you. Caller directors i have not received an indication a member of the board would like to have the items considered separately. A motion to approve consent . I will make a motion.
