We're in City Hall Plaza's city administration complex, it's a new complex that we have for
people coming to get their permits and pay their parking tickets and we even have a little
city store here, and behind me is a painting by a local artist named Anthony Holdsworth
who loves to go out on the streets and paint pictures with oil paints of downtown Oakland,
all the city landmarks, and this painting was specially commissioned for this spot in
the administrative complex. In our City Hall administrative complex we have our planning
department, and the folks in our planning department are responsible for all the changes
and permits for all the buildings that we're doing in downtown Oakland, and we have this
tabletop model that they use with all the little buildings that they rearrange them
and help visualize how the cities going to grow and change. And so it's one of the things
we show on our tours to let people know what we're working on.
