k. brandon: thank you. >> commission, that concludes the presentation. >> president k. brandon: thank you. danny campbell? >> thank you, madam president, commissioners. danny campbell. i'm a representative with the sheet metal workers, local 104. i want to say briefly jay and his team reached out very early to us in the san francisco building trades unions and committed to partner with our local union contractors here. which, as a result will mean good careers for local residents and our city's use through state-approved apprenticeship programs. they listened to our concerns very early on. and we are excited seeing the theater returning as darius mentiond in san francisco. it's a great project. my colleague, just to confirm what darius said, my colleague ian lewis with the hotel workers was here earlier but had to leave. he wanted me to convey their support for the project. so thank you. >> president k. brandon: thank you. is there any other public comment? >> president and commissioners,my name is bob hare
