WOODWARD:And you may begin. <br />J. LUM:My name is Johnson Lum and I own this property. I’m sorry I’m kind of <br />broken up with all this thing, took one year and it caught up with me now. So -. But I tried to do <br />the best I could to get it right. I hired someone. Also I went to the Planning Department and <br />asked for information, and I did everything. And also I complied with all the setbacks. The <br />independent surveyors came two times to survey the land. And I cut back, well, I cut back the <br />parts that I need to do and also put in handicap parking and also bathroom. And I did all that. <br />And I also put the metal roof on the back area where the meeting place or where we have <br />meetings. So it’s, all that is done. <br />And the purpose of this park is to help education, help the kids. They need science, they need <br />engineering. And I’m a self-made engineer. And, you know, just to build one of these tugboats <br />it takes one year. See, I built three of them. I built three of them. And you know how much <br />engineering goes into one of these? This is what I want to show the kids, that you can do it. <br />This pulls kayaks. You see here this picture? Yes, this is the proof that engineering can inspire <br />kids. And, actually, this is a gift, my gift to the community. So I hope you’ll pass my project. <br />Thank you. My daughter will speak a little bit. <br />WOODWARD:All right. Thank you.
