bleirman, we can't -- >> president bleiman: can you hear me now? >> clerk: yes. >> president bleiman: so if you have a specific question email, call, ask staff, this is not the venue for answering [broken audio] but if you do have comments, please do provide them in whatever -- whichever way that works for you. if that makes sense. everybody hear me okay still? all right. so this agenda item i would like to open things up to public comment and please help. >> clerk: yes, president bleiman, someone had their hand up with a phone call. and they were the first one. and then we can do the chats and several other hands up. so let's get right to it. hello, caller, you are unmuted and you have two minutes. oh, now you're muted. okay. it looks like they have their phone muted. so we can move on to the chat comments. >> president bleiman: do you want me to read those or do you want to read them yourself? >> and i would just recommend that you share the screen one more time with that call-in number. >> president bleiman: so let's start by sharing the screen

. >> thank you very much, president bleiman and commissioners. the first permit on the agenda is a permit for live performance for recovery room. recovery room was slated to come before the commission in march, but it was delayed due to covid. recovery room is a bar and restaurant and is normally open seven days per week and serves american cuisine. they are seeking an l.l.p. permit to have live bands and other performances until 10:00 p.m. included in your binder are signatures in support from recovery room patrons. initially, when i sent you the packet, i indicated there was no opposition. however, there was opposition submitted by t submitted. the building owner said they were not in opposition to this permit, but they would require us to require sound proofing installation? i did let the property owner know that the commission cannot require sound proofing, but we would set a sound limit, and the proper owner did not write me back. i just wanted to make you aware of that. it's not exactly opposition, but i wanted to share. here to talk to you
