Ask the public to participate remotely by writing to the board or leaving a voicemail message. For all comments received in advance of the meeting we have received and we appreciate these comments.

The antioch bridge and the benicia bridge, a concern but not a major problem for drivers. Thank you, mike. We are continuing our Team Coverage on the biggest wind event to hit the bay area so fa ....

Alix rising covid cases impacting the economic data. Composite pmi for the euro area dropping below the 50 mark, which shows contraction. Meeting. O ecbs next joining us is john hardy, Saxo Bank Head of fx strategy. Does 1. 18 make sense for when you consider the rising uncertainty .
