As of the last meeting, the staff had done their 95 presentation and the applicant tonight has 5 minutes to get up there, and he has an 96 update to something that he was adjusting from comments, so he's going to have 5 97 minutes to speak, and then the board has two people that have left to question the 98 applicant, and then we'll go to public comment. As far as public comment is concerned, if 99 you weren't here and did not sign up to speak in the June meeting, unfortunately, you will 100 not be allowed to speak tonight.
