i'm calling to be supportive of john kanter, the project manager on this job. i think my understanding is there have been some concerns about the project in the past. i want to say that i've known john for about eight years and we serve on many committees together and i have found him to be very honorable person and a man of his word and i think you can count on him going forward to do the things that are agreed to this evening. i can give you some examples if you'd like. and would be happy to answer any questions about his character. >> ok. thank you. so, we will now hear from gerard westmiller. mr. westmiller. >> yes, thank you, board, thank you, everybody. i've been watching that project over the last several years, i also a four-year resident of san francisco. thank you for all the work everyone does. and i would like just to put my support in for the project and not have this project once again denied for something else. it seems like everything is set in stone and i'd like to see a building there on that block instead of just a hole. thank you. >> clerk: t

statement that says that one of the 14 shooting victims has died and that is 25-year-old douglas john kanterve said very little about the shooting today. and last we know is that one suspect has been arrested. we don't have any confirmed details on who that suspect is. and that police here in austin continue to look for the second suspect they believe was involved in the shooting that ended up in the wounding 13 people and now killing the first victim. this was a chaotic scene here on sixth street in the iconic entertainment district of austin, texas. this happened early morning saturday. it was a biker rally going on. thousands of people filling up the streets. st that led to the chaotic scenes there as officers raced to the scene responding to the gunfire. witnesses described how chaotic it was. >> i just recall seeing, you know, a few bodies on the floor, police officers running with guns drawn. people running and fleeing the scene. it just immediately turned to what do we do next? where do we go? what is the next step from here? we're obviously involved in an active shooter situation dir
