on the Affordable Housing Advisory Board. And, professionally, I'd like to say that I'm a herder of 1 <br />cats, but technically, I'm a project manager, vice president for a general contractor that largely 2 <br />builds multi-family affordable housing, hospitality senior living. 3 <br />4 <br />Leon Meyers: Okay.

While there is no 45 <br />time limit on the presentation of evidence, the Board asks that the presentation of evidence be 46 <br />consistent with established policies and rules of procedure, and acceptable levels of decorum to 47 <br />ensure a fair and effective hearing for all parties. Regarding conflict of interest, it's the duty of every 48 <br />board member to avoid both conflicts of interest and appearances of conflict.
