UM, AND KUA IS LOCATED, YOU KNOW, CLOSE TO THE INTERSECTION OF WEST NORTHWEST HIGHWAY, UH, AND HARRY HINES? YES.
AND YOU'RE LOCATED IN THE MIDDLE OF A, A MULTI-BUILDING SHOPPING CENTER? RIGHT.
UH, AND, UH, YOU EMPLOYED, DEPENDING ON THE DAY, AND I I KNOW YOU, YOU CORRECTED ME, UH, YOU'RE NO LONGER OPEN ON THURSDAY, BUT ON FRIDAY, SATURDAY AND SUNDAY, YOU EMPLOY ANYWHERE FROM FOUR TO SIX, UH, OFF-DUTY DPD OFFICERS? THAT'S CORRECT.
AND THEN LIKEWISE, INSIDE, UH, YOU HAVE YOUR, UH, YOUR, UH, SECURITY INSIDE? THAT'S CORRECT.
AND THAT'S, UH, BECAUSE POLICE CAN'T COME INSIDE
UH, AND, UH, ALL OF YOUR, UH, EMPLOYEES ARE TBC CERTIFIED? YES.
AND, AND WHAT, WHAT DOES THAT MEAN? WELL, THAT MEANS THAT EVERYBODY, EVERYBODY CAN, UH, PICK UP, UH, WELL, THEY, THEY'VE GONE THROUGH THE TRAINING.
AND, AND LAW CERTIFICATE REGULATIONS.
AND, UH, IF YOU'RE ALLOWED TO BE OPEN AFTER TWO, UH, AGAIN, THERE'S NO ALCOHOL SOLD, SERVED, OR ALLOWED ON THE PREMISES AFTER 2:00 AM.
IS THAT CORRECT? THAT'S, THAT'S CORRECT.
UH, AND, UH, AND OVER, UH, THESE YEARS, AND YOU'VE HAD A CHANCE TO LOOK AT, AT THE CITY'S INFORMATION, WE, AGAIN, ENJOY A LOW NUMBER OF POLICE CALLS FOR SERVICE YES.
OR, OR ANY OTHER PROBLEMS? YES.
UH, ARE COMMERCIAL NEIGHBORS US? YES.
AND WHY WE'VE HAD TO BE COMING HERE THE LAST FEW YEARS IS WE DISCOVERED, OR MORE CORRECTLY, CITY DISCOVERED THERE'S A MOBILE HOME PARK WITHIN A THOUSAND FEET.
CAN YOU SEE THAT MOBILE HOME PARK FROM KAA? NO.
CAN THE MOBILE HOME PARK SEE YOU? NO.
AND, AND WHY NOT? UH, THERE'S A, WE'RE THE, THE, UH, EAST SIDE OF THE, OF THE PROPERTY.
AND THEN THERE'S ANOTHER BUILDING, AND WE HAVE THE STREET AND WE HAVE SEVEN 11 THE CREEK, AND THEN THE MOBILE HOMES.
THERE'S, THERE'S A CREEK RUNNING THROUGH, AND AS A RESULT, A LOT OF VEGETATION AND RIGHT.
[00:10:01]
AND, UH, AS FAR AS YOUR, UH, UH, HAVE YOU EVER HAD ANYBODY FOR THE MOBILE HOME PARK, UH, COMPLAINT ABOUT KALU? NO.UH, AND AS FAR AS YOUR COMMERCIAL NEIGHBORS, UH, ARE THEY, UH, SUPPORTIVE OF KALUA HAVING A LATE HOURS PERMIT? YES.
AND WHAT, WHY IS IT IMPORTANT FOR YOU TO HAVE LATE HOURS? THAT'S SORT OF A LESS, UH, CHAOS WHEN PEOPLE ARE LEAVING LITTLE BY LITTLE INSTEAD OF SHUTTING OFF AT OKAY.
AT TWO O'CLOCK AND EVERYBODY COMING OUT AT THE SAME TIME.
AND, UH, UH, HOW MANY, UH, HOW MANY CUSTOMERS DO YOU THINK YOU HAVE OVER A TYPICAL WEEKEND? UH, PROBABLY AROUND 4,000, SO.
MR. STERNER, DO YOU HAVE ANY QUESTIONS FOR MR. CARDONA? UH, NO QUESTIONS, MR. CHAIR.
UM, WE WILL GO WITH, UH, THROUGH THE BOARD IF THE BOARD HAS ANY QUESTIONS WITH MR. CARDONA.
UM, WE'LL GO THROUGH THREE MINUTES.
FIRST, UH, MS. KYLE, DO YOU HAVE ANY QUESTIONS? NOT AT THIS TIME.
ALL RIGHT, MS. THOMAS, DO YOU HAVE ANY QUESTIONS FOR MR. CARD? I HAVE ONE QUESTION.
UM, JUST, UH, LOOKING AT THE EXHIBITS, EXHIBIT ONE, UH, WANTED TO KNOW, UH, ABOUT THE HOMELESS ENCAMPMENT AND HOW IT AFFECTS YOUR RESIDENCE OR AFFECTS THE LICENSE PERMIT THAT YOU'RE TRYING TO OBTAIN.
IS IT NEAR THERE? UM, THOSE, THOSE PEOPLE APART OF THIS COLD ENVIRONMENT? YY YES, MA'AM.
THE, THE CREEK THAT, UH, THAT MR. CARDONA, UH, SPOKE ABOUT EARLIER, UH, THAT CREEK IS, IS DIRECTLY BEHIND THE SHOPPING CENTER.
AND SO, UH, THAT'S THE REASON, YOU KNOW, WE CAN'T SEE THE MOBILE HOME PARK.
MOBILE HOME PARK CAN'T SEE US BECAUSE WE'VE GOT THIS, YOU KNOW, LIKE I SAY, THERE'S A, THE CREEK GOING THROUGH THERE, IT'S BEEN BUILT UP WITH THIS HOMELESS ENCAMPMENT.
UH, SO THEY'RE JUST, YOU KNOW, YOU CAN'T GET THERE FROM HERE AS FAR AS GOING FROM KALUTA TO THE MOBILE HOME PARK.
UH, AND UH, THAT'S WHY, I MEAN, WE, YOU KNOW, WE DIDN'T REALIZE FOR YEARS IT WAS EVEN THERE AND THAT WE WERE GONNA HAVE TO COME TO YOU FOLKS AND, AND SEEK AN EXHIBITION.
UH, BUT YEAH, BECAUSE WE'VE BEEN THERE FOR A DOZEN YEARS BEFORE APPOINTMENTS CAME UP.
HAVE YOU HAD ANY RECENT COMPLAINTS, I NOTICED HERE THAT THERE HAD BEEN SOME IN THE PAST, BUT HAVE YOU HAD ANY RECENT COMPLAINTS FROM THE MOBILE HOME PARK REGARDING THE NOISE OR ANYTHING RELATED TO THE, THE DISCO TECH AND IT'S AFTER HOURS? NO, MA'AM.
IT'S A BIT HARD TO HEAR THE LADY WHO'S SPEAKING.
I HAVE TO GET FAMILIAR WITH THAT.
WHICH, WHICH PART DID YOU NOT, WHAT DID THEY NOT HEAR? CAN, CAN YOU HEAR HER NOW, MS. KYLE? YES.
IT WAS JUST SOUNDED LIKE, I GUESS IT WAS COMING FROM SOMEBODY ELSE'S MICROPHONE, SO, YEAH.
THAT'S MY, THE ONLY QUESTIONS I HAD.
UH, MR. JEFFERSON, DO YOU HAVE ANY QUESTIONS FOR, UH, THE APPELLANT? NO QUESTIONS AT THIS TIME.
JUST REAL BRIEFLY, UH, FIRST OF ALL, MR. CARDONA, I RECALL YOUR PRESENTATION TO US A YEAR AGO, AND WE, UH, WE WERE ALL VERY IMPRESSED AND CONSIDER YOU ACTUALLY AN ASSET RATHER THAN A DETRIMENT TO THE COMMUNITY.
I LOOKED OVER THE LAST YEAR'S POLICE REPORT, AND I DON'T HAVE ANY SERIOUS CONCERNS WITH THAT.
HAS ANYTHING CHANGED IN THE LAST YEAR WITH REGARD TO YOUR OWN SECURITY, THE PHYSICAL LAYOUT OR YOUR OPERATING PROCEDURES FROM A YEAR AGO? NO.
PRETTY, PRETTY DOING THE SAME THING, TRYING TO KEEP THE PLACE CONTAINED WITH THE DPD AND OUR OWN SECURITY INSIDE.
AND THE PHYSICAL LAYOUT OF THE BUILDING HAS NOT CHANGED, RIGHT? OH, NOT AT ALL.
ALL RIGHT, MR. GONZALEZ, DO YOU HAVE ANY QUESTIONS? NO QUESTIONS FOR ME.
UM, MY ONLY QUESTION, MR. ALBRIGHT, ARE YOU, YOU'RE STILL APPLYING FOR A ONE YEAR YES.
MR. CARE, WHAT YOU HAVE TO DO, YOU HAVE TO HAVE THREE YEARS OF OBTAINING A LATE HOURS PERMIT, AND AFTER YOU HAVE THREE YEARS, YOU CAN THEN START ASKING FOR A TWO YEAR, UH, RENEWAL PERIOD.
[00:15:01]
OKAY.UH, THIS WOULD BE OUR THIRD TIME.
SO, SO NEXT YEAR YOU CAN ASK AND I MUST BE GETTING OLD 'CAUSE I FEEL LIKE YOU GUYS WERE HERE THREE MONTHS AGO.
I, I REMEMBER WE WERE ALL RIGHT HERE.
HOW DID THAT HAPPEN? IT'S LIKE DEJA VU.
UM, IF NOBODY ON THE BOARD HAS ANY MORE QUESTIONS, UM, WE CAN MOVE ON TO THE CITY'S PRESENTATION, MR. STRINGER.
UM, THE CITY WILL CALL, UH, DETECTIVE MONTREAL AS OF OUR WITNESS.
UM, WOULD YOU PLEASE STATE YOUR NAME FOR THE RECORD? NAME'S? UH, GERARDO MONTREAL.
AND HOW ARE YOU EMPLOYED? I'M EMPLOYED WITH THE DALLAS POLICE DEPARTMENT VICE LICENSING UNIT, AND I'VE BEEN THERE FOR A LITTLE BIT OVER, UH, FOUR YEARS.
AND WHAT ARE YOUR RESPONSIBILITIES IN THE VICE UNIT? UH, WITH VICE UNIT, WE, UH, WORK ON ALL TYPES OF, UH, UH, LICENSING PERMITS, WHICH ARE YOUR DANCE HALL, BID HALL, UH, SOBS, UH, LATE HOURS, UH, AMUSEMENT CENTER LICENSES.
SO WE TEND TO PROCESS, GET THE APPLICATIONS, MAKE SURE THAT ALL THE DOCUMENTS ARE THERE, AND THEN PROCESS THEM.
AND, UH, DID YOU REVIEW THE APPLICATION FOR, UH, KALUS UM, DANCEHALL LATE HOUR PERMIT? YES, I DID.
AND IF WE COULD TURN TO TAB ONE.
UM, COULD YOU BRIEFLY DESCRIBE THE, UH, APPLICANT'S OR K'S APPLICATION HISTORY? UH, KALU ACTUALLY ON 4 21 OF 22 A PLA HERE, AND GRANTED THEM A ONE HOUR LATE HOURS PERMIT ON DECEMBER.
THAT'S HOW LATE HOURS APPLICATION WAS SUBMITTED, UH, ON JANUARY OF 20 20, 24.
THAT'S HOW PERMIT WAS APPROVED WITH THE LATE HOURS, UH, DENIED AGAIN, UH, FEBRUARY 24.
UH, THE LATE HOURS DENIAL APPEAL, UH, DATE WAS SCHEDULED FOR APPLY OF HEARING ON MAY 24, APPLY, GRANTED THEM AGAIN, ANOTHER ONE YEAR, UH, PERMIT MARCH OF THIS YEAR, 2025.
UH, THERE A, THEY SUBMITTED THE APPLICATION FOR THEIR DANCE HALL ON LATE HOURS AGAIN, UM, APRIL OF THIS YEAR, THEIR DANCE HALL WAS APPROVED.
LATE HOURS WAS DENIED AGAIN 'CAUSE THE, UH, UH, AGAIN, THE SAME ISSUE.
PROPERTY IS WITHIN A THOUSAND FEET OF A SAME TRAILER PARK.
AND THEN TURNING TO TAB TWO, UM, IS THIS A COPY OF THE APPLICATION, UM, FOR LATE HOURS PERMIT THAT YOU REVIEWED? YES, SIR.
YES, IT'S, UM, AND AFTER REVIEW, WHAT, WHY WAS THE, UH, LATE HOURS PERMIT DENIED? UH, LATE HOURS WERE DENIED.
IT WAS A AUTOMATIC DENIAL ONLY 'CAUSE THE PROPERTY STILL LIES WITHIN A THOUSAND FEET OF A RESIDENTIAL AREA, WHICH IS THAT, UH, TRAILER PARK, WHICH IS, UH, WHICH THEY WERE CORRECT.
THERE'S A, UH, CREEK, UH, YOU REALLY CAN'T SEE 'EM.
YOU HAVE TO DRIVE OUTSIDE OF THE, UH, OF THE SHOPPING CENTER, GO ALL THE WAY AROUND AND TRY TO GET TO THAT TR UH, TRAILER PARK.
AND TURNING TO TAB FOUR, UM, LOOKS LIKE ONE, TWO, THE THIRD PAGE IS A, A, UH, BLACK AND WHITE MAP OF, UM, COULD YOU DESCRIBE THIS MAP BRIEFLY AND JUST THE LOCATION, UH, OF THE TRAILER PARK IN RELATION TO THE KAA? THIS IS THE, UH, LAND SURVEY.
THEY, UH, CITY DOES, UH, THE CIRCULAR, UH, UH, CIRCULAR, UH, C UH, SHOWS THE DISTANCE ABOUT A THOUSAND FEET.
AND THAT MOBILE HOME PARK IS JUST WITHIN THAT 1000 FEET.
UM, THERE IS A, THE PROPERTY, UH, KA LIES INSIDE A ALMOST A CENTER OF A SHOPPING CENTER.
YOU HAVE A COUPLE OF OTHER BUILDINGS, AND THEN YOU HAVE A LARGE BUSINESS, WHICH IS A CONSTRUCTION BUSINESS.
THAT'S BETWEEN THE TRAILER PARK AND THE KAA PLUS.
THEN YOU HAVE THE CREEK THAT ALSO LIES THERE.
SO IT'S THERE, IT'S A DISTANCE AWAY.
UM, AND AGAIN, IT IS A DENIAL FOR THAT LOCATION, LOCATIONAL RESTRICTION, DISCRETIONARY, THAT IT IS NOT DISCRETIONARY.
ONLY 'CAUSE IT, IT LIES WITHIN A THOUSAND FEET.
TURNING TO TAB FIVE, UM, DOES THIS DOCUMENT THE, UH, POLICE CALLS FOR THE LOCATION? YES, IT DOES.
AND COULD YOU DESCRIBE HOW MANY TOTAL CALLS, AND THEN HOW MANY OF, OF THOSE WERE RELATED TO, UH, KAA? UH, WE HAD 53 CALLS.
AGAIN, A LOT OF TIMES YOU, WE, WE MIGHT SEE A CALL, UH, 53, BUT NOT ALL THESE CALLS OF RUMOR, UH, OR SOME OF THEM, THEM ARE GONNA BE DUPLICATE.
[00:20:01]
OTHER CALLS ARE GONNA BE POLICE SHOWS UP AND NOBODY'S THERE.UM, FROM THESE CALLS ON THE 14, UH, OF THOSE 53, THERE WERE OFFENSE REPORTS GENERATED OUT OF THOSE, UH, FOUR OF THOSE DID NOT COME FROM KAA, BUT THE SURROUNDING OTHER PROPERTIES, UM, KAA DOES HAVE EMPLOYEE, UH, OFFICERS, DPD OFFICERS.
SO IN THAT SHOPPING CENTER, A LOT OF TIMES IS THERE'S AN INCIDENT THAT OCCURS AT A DIFFERENT BUSINESS.
A LOT OF TIMES THOSE, UH, INDIVIDUALS WILL WALK OR GO TO WHERE THE OFFICERS ARE, WHICH ARE LOCATED IN KAA.
UH, A LOT OF TIMES THEY'LL MAKE THE REPORT THERE AND THAT'S WHY IT SHOWS.
BUT AGAIN, OUT OF THOSE, UH, 14 OFFENSE REPORTS OR REPORTS THAT WERE GENERATED, FOUR OF THOSE WERE NOT FOR KAA.
SO KALU ONLY HAD A TOTAL OF 10.
AND BETWEEN THE HOURS OF TWO TO, UH, 4:00 AM WHICH IS FOR THE LATE HOURS, THERE WAS ONLY 11 CALLS OUT OF THOSE, THERE WAS ONLY FOUR REPORTS THAT WERE GENERATED.
TURNING TO TAB SIX, UM, COULD YOU DESCRIBE JUST BRIEFLY THE, UH, THE, UM, WHAT THIS DOCUMENT SHOWS? I MADE AN OFFENSE, UH, BREAKDOWN OF THE OFFICES THAT WERE GENERATED FOR, UH, UH, FOR THAT ONE YEAR.
AND THERE WAS ONLY EIGHT OFFENSES.
AND I GAVE A BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF WHAT THOSE OFFICES WERE, WHICH IS A FIRST ONE WAS A WANT TO LOCATE SOMEBODY.
UH, INDIVIDUAL GOES THERE, DOESN'T GET HOME.
SO SOMEBODY'S CONCERNED IN TRYING TO FIND OUT WHERE THEY AT.
THAT ASSAULT THAT OCCURRED DID NOT OCCUR AT THE KAA.
AGAIN, IT HAPPENED AT A DIFFERENT LOCATION.
THOSE INDIVIDUALS, UH, WALKED TO OFFICERS.
OFFICERS ARE THEN, UH, MAKE A REPORT.
UH, WE DID, UH, HAVE A DISTURBANCE, UH, UH, DUPLICATE REPORT.
JUST A COMPLAINT THAT WAS FOUND INTOXICATED.
BUT OFFICERS DO MAKE A POLICE REPORT.
I THINK I'M SKIPPING CERTAIN THINGS.
UM, UH, NUMBER SIX IS AN ASSAULT, UH, FEMALE WAS STRUCK INSIDE.
DETECTIVE, I'M SORRY, COULD YOU, COULD YOU MOVE THE MICROPHONE A LITTLE BIT CLOSER? CLOSER, YEAH.
UM, WE HAD A BURGLAR MOTOR VEHICLE AND THEN WE HAD A STOLEN VEHICLE OUT THERE.
AND OFFICERS TOOK THE REPORT THERE FOR THESE, UH, INDIVIDUALS.
UH, THE VEHICLE WAS FOUND LATER ON, BUT ON THAT STOLEN VEHICLE AT A DIFFERENT LOCATION.
AND THEN TURNING TO TAB SEVEN, UM, COULD YOU DESCRIBE THE, THE NUMBER OF POLICE REPORTS, UM, IN THAT YEAR PERIOD FROM 2:00 AM TO 4:00 AM OKAY.
I BROKE DOWN THE, UH, CALLS FROM, UH, FOR THE LATE HOURS FROM 2:00 AM TO 4:00 AM THERE WAS ONLY A TOTAL OF 11 CALLS, UH, GENERATED OR, UH, CALLS TO 9 1 1.
OUT OF THOSE, ONLY FOUR REPORTS WERE GENERATED.
UH, TWO OF THOSE REPORTS WERE ONLY ASSIGNED TO KAA OR KALUA RELATED.
UH, THE FOUR CALLS THAT WERE, UH, GENERAL REPORTS THAT WERE GENERATED, UH, WAS AN ASSAULT, UH, WHICH DID NOT OCCUR, OCCUR AT KAA.
THE SECOND ONE WAS A INTOXICATED PERSON WHERE, UH, WE, THE OFFICERS THERE MADE A POLICE REPORT 'CAUSE THEY, UH, CONTACTED A LOVED ONE OR A FAMILY MEMBER IF SOMEBODY CAME BY AND PICKED THEM UP.
UH, KAA UM, SECURITY ASSISTED WITH THAT, CONTACTING A RELATIVE AND NOT LETTING HIM DRIVE, WHICH THEY DO A GOOD JOB ON THAT.
UH, TRYING TO GET, UH, HELP FOR ANYBODY THAT NEEDS A ASSISTANCE.
UH, THIRD UH, CALL THAT CAME OUT WAS A STOLEN VEHICLE, WHICH WAS LATER ON RECOVERED AT A DIFFERENT, UH, LOCATION.
UH, THE FOURTH WAS AN ASSAULT, UH, AGAIN, THAT, THAT, THAT HAPPENED AT KAA HAPPENED AT A DIFFERENT PROPERTY THERE IN THE SHOPPING CENTER.
UH, AND I, UH, PROBABLY, AND I WANTED TO MAKE A NOTE OF THAT, THAT WE ACTUALLY ARE INVESTIGATING THAT OTHER PROPERTY, DPD.
AND BASED ON THE INCIDENTS AND OFFENSE REPORTS WE, WE'VE REVIEWED, WOULD YOU SAY THAT THERE'S A, A PATTERN OF CRIME AT THE LOCATION? NO, UH, NO CRIME, NO PATTERN AT ALL.
AND ASIDE FROM THE LOCATIONAL RESTRICTION OF, UM, BEING WITHIN A THOUSAND FEET OF A, OF RESIDENTIAL AREA, UM, IS THERE ANY OTHER REASON TO DENY THE APPLICANT'S, UH, DANCEHALL LATE HOURS PERMIT? NO, SIR.
THERE'S NO REASON TO DENY THAT.
DETECTIVE, UH, MR. ALBRIGHT, DO YOU HAVE ANY QUESTIONS? I, UH, MR. CAR, I'LL WAIVE CROSS-EXAMINATION.
UH, WE'LL THEN JUST PROCEED TO BOARD QUESTIONING.
WE'LL GO DOWN THE LIST LIKE BEFORE.
[00:25:01]
UM, MS. KYLE, DO YOU HAVE ANY QUESTIONS FOR, UH, THE CITY OR THE DETECTIVE? NO, DON'T.MS. THOMAS, DO YOU HAVE ANY QUESTIONS? NO.
MR. JEFFERSON, DO YOU HAVE ANY QUESTIONS? NO QUESTIONS.
I JUST WANT TO THANK, UH, DETECTIVE MONTREAL AGAIN FOR HIS SERVICE AND THE FACT THAT HE ALWAYS COMES TO THESE MEETINGS WELL PREPARED.
UH, MR. QUINT, I ECHO MR. HAYES'S THOUGHTS AND NO QUESTIONS.
UH, JUST ONE QUESTION TO SUM UP, IF YOU COULD HAVE GRANTED THE, THE, UH, LATE HOURS PERMIT.
DETECTIVE, WOULD YOU HAVE? YES, SIR.
UM, IF THERE'S NO ADDITIONAL QUESTIONS, THEN, UH, I GUESS WE'LL SEE.
IS THERE A MOTION REGARDING THE, UH, DENIAL OF THE LATE HOURS PERMIT FOR KUA DISCO TECH? ANY, I MOVE THAT WE, GO AHEAD, MR. HAYES.
UH, I MOVE THAT WE, UH, OVERRULE OR WHATEVER THE PROPER VERB IS, UH, POLICE CHIEF'S, UH, DENIAL OF THE LATE HOURS PERMIT AND GIVEN THE ONE YEAR EXTENSION.
OKAY, HAYES MOVES TO REVERSE THE DECISION OF THE CHIEF OF POLICE AND GRANT A ONE YEAR EXEMPTION.
I HEARD MR. JEFFS FIRST, HE HAS THE ADVANTAGE OF TALKING IN MY EAR.
UM, UH, IS THERE ANY DISCUSSION BEGINNING WITH YOU, MR. HAYES? DO YOU WANNA SPEAK IN FAVOR OF YOUR MOTION? UH, I THINK EVERYTHING'S BEEN SAID.
ANYBODY WANNA SPEAK AGAINST THE MOTION? UH, ANYBODY WANNA SPEAK ON THE MOTION? NEITHER FOR OR AGAINST? ALL RIGHT, MR. JEFFS, YOU HAVE A SECOND? DID YOU WANNA SPEAK FOR THE MOTION? NO FURTHER DISCUSSION.
IF THERE'S NO FURTHER DISCUSSION, THEN WE WILL MOVE TO THE VOTE.
UH, AND AGAIN, THE MOTION IS TO REVERSE THE DECISION OF THE CHIEF OF POLICE AND GRANT KUA DISCOTECH, A ONE YEAR EXEMPTION FROM THE LOCATIONAL RESTRICTION.
UH, ALL THOSE IN FAVOR, PLEASE MAKE SURE YOU HAVE YOUR MICROPHONES ON.
