Chairs thank HPD and transition to public testimony
Chairs Sanchez and Lee thank HPD for their testimony and encourage agency staff to stay for public testimony. Lee reviews public testimony rules including two-minute limits and written submission procedures.
Well, with that, I want to thank you so much for your testimony today, for all of these hours of hanging out with us.
But we really do look forward to that roundtable and, you know, to make sure that Mitchell Lamas and our affordable developments are, you know, they remain front and center.
And I say this to all the agencies, but if there are folks that can stay and listen to the public testimony, I think that would be great to hear from some of the residents firsthand.
It would be wonderful.
So thank you so much for all of your time today.
And with that, we are going to move into public testimony.
