GALDONES:Your objection is so noted. Let me confer with counsel. One <br />moment. <br />OÓTOOLE:Mr. Yuen, do you intend to testify now or at the Contest <br />GALDONES:Mr. Yuen? <br />YUEN:Good afternoon. I do want to make it clear that anything I <br />as a private citizen and not as the Planning Director. I am currently on vacation time at <br />this moment. <br />In the interest, I understand that the Commission is not going to be acting this afternoon. <br />It has been a long day and in the interest of not keeping you here longer than necessary, <br />IÓve submitted a letter and I will withhold any testimony. <br />GALDONES:Okay.
