>> my name is cathy len and i am with the park merced action coalition. and it is my understanding and maybe i am wrong, that their permits were suspended, bearing investigation of their safety record. so, i can testify to the way that i knew that i felt that the permits were suspended and they did come out, and they were double parked down on brotherhood way and they started to cut trees. so, the question is was their permit suspended? and were they cutting with the suspended permit? that is my question. the speaker said that this was in 2003. and we have discussed this with various tree experts and your chance of being killed is about as much of being hit by lightning if not less. and so regarding to the complaints, we have called the city 311 and numerous, and four complaints today and we had very little reaction from the city. so, i am very clear on that. so that is what i can testify in regard to their safety, ability. and their pruning abilities are another story, which i will address in a month. thank you. >> next speaker, please? >> good evening,
