A man with short grey hair and glasses in a grey t-shirt studies pages of a printout of a PowerPoint presentation on the desk in front of him. Right of him a blonde-haired woman with glasses holds a pen, with her hands on folded papers in front of her, and listens to someone off to her left and out of view. On the right of this photo is a woman with glasses and short brown hair, wearing glasses, with her chin in her left hand as she listens to someone to her left who is not in this screenshot of a Council meeting.
