just
with

Therefore,

matter

John
aida.
P
Good
morning,
thank
you,
executive
secretary,
green,
madam
chair
members
of
the
board.
As
attorney
green
mentioned,
this
was
previously
approved
which,
at
the
time,
included
a
management
company
approval.
Since
that
time
the
management
company
is
no
longer
involved.
So
one
of
those
members
was
the
proposed
manager
of
record.
So
we
precipitated
the
need
to
correct
that
the
application
with
me
joining
is
stephen
brooks.
The
proposed
manager
of
record
mr
brooks
was
previously
approved
by
this
board
as
a
manager
of
record.
But
just
to
reiterate,
he
is
a
u.s
citizen.
P
We
did
appear
a
second
time
in
front
of
the
neighborhood
association
of
back
bay,
just
because
there's
questions
about
whether
or
not
the
establishment
was
committed
to
opening
and
just
to
reiterate
from
this
board
that
we
are
committed
to
opening
the
poor
house,
we're
still
acquiring
the
assets
and
on
it
on
the
clock
with
the
bankruptcy
court
to
do
so
as
these
assets,
including
licenses,
are
part
of
a
bankruptcy
court
order.
So
this,
hopefully,
is
the
final
step
and
we'll
be
able
to
move
ahead.
