However, we do understand that there are a couple members tonight that will likely need to keep their video off. But for the rest of you, if you can keep them on, that'd be great. And please use the raise hand feature or wave if you'd like to be recognized to speak. For members of city staff, please keep your video off for the duration of the meeting unless you are speaking. And likewise, use the raise hand feature to be recognized. For members of the public that are joining us this evening, first of all, thank you for being here. We understand that a couple of you wish to speak.

in the board review of the artist presentations that even though it wasn't given to the artists as part of their site that we do have approval through the master plan to go into Olin Park. So if the committee wanted to consider the north portion of Olin Park that big open green space which today I went out and I paced it it's over 240 feet wide by over 120 feet wide looking directly at the capital that that is a site that we are we have the opportunity to utilize as part of the Olin Park portion of the lakeway plan master plan it's not on the skyline per se but it is a gateway to it so I wanted to make sure that the committee knew that that was available and part of what's already been approved by the council. All right thank you so much Susan. Do I want a visual? Does the committee want a visual for what that means? I know what I know this case you're talking about because it's it's beautiful. Yeah yeah does anybody else feel like they need to see a visual of where that space could would be? No that's probably the only space that I could readily identify without a visual.
