the replacement of the existing storefront glass system on both the
Broadway and 11th Street facades with anodized aluminum metal and
modified glass with clear glazing. Board Member Jason McKenzie
seconded the motion. The motion passed. Board Member Reggie Luther
did not vote on the motion or participate in the discussion due to a
conflict
