Patrick Mallet: And with that I have Charlie Viles, who is going to walk through the different elements of the school, and give you an overview. Pete Hallenbeck: Do the Commissioners have any questions at this point? Or are we going to wait until we hear from the applicant? The Commissioners had no questions or comments. Peter Hallenbeck: Alright. Go ahead, Sir. Charlie Viles: My name is Charles Viles. I am duly sworn. My connection with the School is — I've been on the School's— Chairman of the School's Camus Planning Committee for the last six years. I was on the School's board from 2007 to 2014 and was Board President for two of those years. I've also been a parent at the School for fifteen years. I want to quickly introduce the other folks that may come up here to speak. Rebecca Rogers who is the School's treasurer, a member of the Board, and also a practicing attorney, if there is a need for cross examination and things like that, then she would serve in that capacity. Chad Abbott is the Consultant that we've hired with Summit Engineering. He's a practicing Engineer and he will —anyway, a little technology issue there— he will address the technical details of the application. And then we also enlisted Vick Knight, who is an appraiser, and if needs to get up and speak about the property value, the maintenance of the property values, or the proposal, then he's ready to do that as well. Although, if that's not required, we won't do that. So, my job here is really to provide a bit of a human face. I'm the expert for the School. I understand what the School is about. And to provide you a picture of what goes on at the School, and so you can better get a feel for what we're trying to accomplish. Waldorf Education is a style of education that has been around for about a hundred years.
