The degree to which she has mastered the jobs and the inns and outs of the department and the commission and the confidence she shows now in running meetings with lots of people in the room, compared to when she did it in the beginning i think that shes earned another year in this position. I think she deserves another year in in this commission. I think we will all benefit from having her as our president again. I am so humbled. We need a second. Commissioner. Do you accept the nomination . I do, yes. Thank you. [laughter] gladly. I was surprised. Thank you. Any further discussion . It would be wonderful to have you serve another year. Thank you.

And i look forward to continuing with all of you. So thank you very much. [applause] i just want to say ditto for me. Ok. Thank you. I see no further discussion. We will now move onto the next item which is item 13. Highlights of the january 17th, 2018 Operations Committee meeting and the december 11th, 2017 and january 8th, 2018 policy Committee Meetings. Ok. So we had a meeting last week, most of which you got the highlights today. We did a big dive into the budget and we got to talk about short falls, funding and we went through Department Area by area and saw how the funding was working there. We did our homework. Im glad we passed everything today. We had a great presentation on help me remember the name of th. A presentation but the name of the the Equity Initiative is a cross Departmental Initiative in the city to make sure all of our communities are being considered with all of the different deficient were making as a department. So what i loved was that they now every initiative we undertake as a department there are questions that we have to ask and the questions are things like who does it serve . What are we not thinking about . Making sure that the equity lens over lays everything so we dont have Environmental Justice program that is mostly thinking about Environmental Justice but that everything we do as a department has a justice lens over laid. The several of the staff have been trained in it and the training will be on going over the next year and its actually happening across the city and all the departments, that was very exciting to see that. Thank you. At our december 11th meeting the policy Committee Heard a presentation on the programs or the Movement Towards use of Renewable Fuels and by city agencies in addition to hearing from the department. We heard from the sustainability with the support of San Francisco and San FranciscoInternational Airport discussing their various contributions to december. We also had a presentation by the citizens climate lobby regarding a proposed carbon feet and dividends, its bipartisan support in congress this issue is going to come before the commission shortly. And then just earlier this month on january 8th, we received an update from chris giger and his colleagues regarding the departments december hearing on the implementation of the 2017 reduced risk pesticide list and we received the first version of the 2018 pesticide list. We reviewed a document that summarized the issues raised in Public Comments to date as well as the departments responses and we heard from chris that there has been a 95 reduction in the use of the most hazardous herbicides within city limits. We also began a discussion of the new restrictions under the reduced risk pesticide list and those of you who had been here before, but not you, know that this will come before us as well but not until may, right. July. Ok. We have some work to do. It will be a few months before we actually are finished with the recommendations for you to take action on. Questions for the Committee Report . Thank you for all the hard work. I had a question regarding when the c. C. L. Carbon fee and dividend issue will come before the full commission. Do you know when . I think in march. March should be the earlyest. This Commission Meeting had been full and the february meeting was full so march would be the earliest. Ok. I cant make a comment about it can be . Why not . I just think its interesting i think we need like its a policy Committee Meeting it was one of those passive presentations where you hear what they have to say. I just do know that car been feet and dividend is taking the carbon revenues giving them to the general public like done in alaska around fossil fuels. Theres other groups out there including the 350s of the world and a lot of groups that dont think its the best use of the money. I am a little reluctant to we can have that discussion thats the protocol but i love the opportunity to engage it more before we have to take a vote. I dont know what the process or path pathway is. I dont feel like we got asked at the policy Committee Meeting or did we have a chance to invite other people who feel differently. Theyre smart, committed, aggressive, they got on our agenda. Plus it already passed here a while ago, which is also interesting. Sure. In this conversation it would be kind of a recaping of the conversation that was had in the Committee Meeting. The conversation of the merits of whether or not the action item should come before the commission would be a conversation for new business. Which is later. Which is next. Rafael. I agree with you commissioner at the end of the policy Committee Meeting the policy committee did not affirmly act. He was hoping you would but you did not. I feel like theres room here to talk about whether a resolution would come forward and what it would say. We have not started crafting anything. So if we would like to, we could revisit perhaps at the next policy Committee Meeting. To have a discussion. Id like to do that. Theres a lot of ways to invest carbon revenues and lots of wayt interrogate the other ways and a lot of those ways are ways Environmental Justice allies prefer. Which is investment into low income communities and those kinds of things. And there are other environmental groups have other ideas. New energy. Im going to interrupt the conversation. This has to be just a recap of the conversation that had happened in the Committee Meeting. Again, if we want to have a discussion about the merits of whether or not this discussion should continue at the commission that would be for new business. Which is next. Which is next. Any Public Comments. Or any other comments . Or next item. Seeing no Public Comments seeing no further discussion, well move onto the next item. The next item is announcements. This item is for discussion. All right. Meeting tomorrow. Well meet tomorrow and what is the address . The retirement. Market. Into the microphone. Ok, yes. Let me pull out my calender. I believe its 1145 Market Street on the sixth floor. Ok. Thank you. Seeing no further discussion an announcements, seeing no Public Comments. We move onto the next item, item 15 new business agenda items. The speaker is anthony val december this is for discussion and possible action. Excuse me. Commissioners, the next meeting of the commission will be a special meeting on wednesday february 21st at 2 00 p. M. And we are having it at the port of San Francisco offices bay side Conference Room peer pier 1 weve had a flurry of meeting here at city hall so the department has decided the offer the opportunity to take the meeting out into the community into one of the city facilities there at the beautiful offices there at the port of San Francisco. So at the commissions request the department is doing a deeper dive into the information that was received at the community meetings. So, the Outreach Team will present more of the data received during the community meetings. The commission will also be considering the annual report, the commission on the environment annual report, followed by a discussion with the City Attorney also at the commissioners about meeting laws so if there are any im sorry meeting laws. The brown act and sunshine act rules surrounding meetings. So if any of you have any questions, please submit them to me so the City Attorney can prepare. You may also ask questions at the meeting but just in case theres any particular issues that you would like covered, please let us know. And the commission is also planning on having its regular meeting in march. Right now the date is march 27th , 2018. But we are in the process of polling commissioners to find a date because theres a conflict with that date. So just a headsup we will look to change that date as well. Thank you. So this is new business. So to pick up where i left off. I think i just want to be clear that i feel like we need to investigate, interrogate if you will, examine, other carbon investment pathways before inviting one where theres just a very active and engage organization pushing for it. City resolutions and Commission Resolutions are part of the strategy so they sought us out. I dont think thats a valid reason to invite them to present it here without looking at other investment pathway through revenue and considering the constituency. I am not saying i oppose it but groups and other environmental groups have other investment ideas about how to use carbon revenues. In the state of california has been a leader in an equity based Investment Strategy and its distinct from what citizens lobby is proposing. Having said that, they do really good work around around the bipartisan solution caucus and other exciting things but i didnt feel like we can leap frog from the policy Committee Meeting from this meeting without a broader examination of other policies. Or whether we want to take action on that. I think its just something we have to realize that they were pushing an agenda and we have to discuss what our vision is. Comments . New business. Can i have a clarification question. I understand just, i thought that they said that the supervisors several years ago, had supported a resolution in support of the end dividend. Is that correct . In which case, it might already be on the books and i dont know why we would need to renew that commitment. That is my recollection too. I do agree the chair of the committee can decide whether or not to calender this item at all for discussion or to go deeper and that will be something that we can discuss at the policy committee under new business as well. Ok. Think about it so that you have a view. My view is that i definitely would want to invite other groups up to the plate. I understand that. I just meant whether or not you have a view on whether or not we should do this. Because it doesnt make any sense why think. To begin this process if at the end, you are going to feel that it isnt worth it for us to do it. I dont think its a high priority. Especially if we can get the question answered about whether theres already action on the books a few years ago in which case it doesnt seem like the best use of our time, i feel like we can discuss this at the policy Committee Meeting but theres a lot of other things where we are moving the ball or where are we on the waste questions weve come up with or just a lot of things. So could we ask you director rafael to at least find out the answer to that. Certainly. And would it be possible for you to email me and lisa and maybe we will not write that. I will let anthony know and he will figure out how the best way to get the information out. With the answer to that question. Has the city already gone on record on that matter. Yes, we will find that out. Thank you. Any other items under new business . Future agenda items . Any Public Comment . All right. Ok. I know were late. I guess one question i have is about i guess in the state of play around where we are in zero waste, not for something that has to come up right away, i know its an issue that comes up with the policy Committee First. Its an issue that continues to be vexing and theres been technological upgrades and good things that are happening and at the same time, theres still issues and so id love an update there. At some point in some venue that makes sense. Our plan is to actually do a fairly deeper dive on the zero waste plan and what kind of metrics makes sense and get the Commission Guidance on that. We havent determined how best to do that yet. Is it the policy Committee First and the full commission or is it some separate meeting were trying to workout right now with the best way is to first frame the questions and the problem statement and figure out how to engage the commission. But you are absolutely right. Its time this year in 2018 is the time to really look into zero waste policy. It would be good to take up our climate summit, how we are going to engage around that. I know that jennifer was dealing with the Mayors Office on it. But it might be nice to take that up in mayor something so its a few months out. Ive asked you about that before. And there was still a lot of things that were up in the air but maybe by may. I wasnt trying to no, no, no. Why think that maybe not the next one or the one after that i dont know the right time but id love an update on green purchasing now that we have the new Technology System in place and were supposed to be able to track that appropriately now. So id love to know how thats going. See no further discussion. And seeing no Public Comments. We will now move on to item 16, adjournment, the time is 9 46p. M. Thank you, everyone. Im rebecca and im a violinist and violin teacher. I was born here in San Francisco to a family of cellists, professional cellists, so i grew up surrounded by a bunch of musical rehearsals an lessons. All types of activities happened in my house. I began playing piano when i was 4. I really enjoyed musical activities in general. So when i was 10, i began studying violin in San Francisco. And from there, i pretty much never stopped and went on to study in college as well. Thats the only thing ive ever known is to have music playing all the time, whether it is someone actually playing next to you or someone listening to a recording. I think that i actually originally wanted to play flute and we didnt have a flute. Its always been a way of life. I didnt know that it could be any other way. Could you give me an e over here. Great. When you teach and youre seeing a student who has a problem, you have to think on your feet to solve that problem. And that same kind of of thinking that you do to fix it applies to your own practice as well. So if im teaching a student and they are having a hard time getting a certain note, they cant find the right note. And i have to think of a digestible way to explain it to them. Ee, d, d, e. Yes. Then, when i go on to do my own practice for a performance, those words are echoing back in my head. Okay. Why am i missing this . I just told somebody that they needed to do this. Maybe i should try the same thing. I feel a lot of pressure when im teaching young kids. You might think that there is less pressure if they are going on to study music or in college that it is more relaxing. I actually find that the opposite is true. If i know im sending a High School Student to some great music program, theyre going to get so much more instruction. What i have told them is only the beginning. If i am teaching a student who i know is going to completely change gears when they go to college and they never will pick up a violin again there is so much that i need to tell them. In plain violin, it is so difficult. There is so much more information to give. Every day i think, oh, my gosh. I havent gotten to this technique or we havent studies they meese and they have so much more to do. We only have 45 minutes a week. I have taught a few students in some capacity who has gone on to study music. That feels anaysing. It is incredible to watch how they grow. Somebody can make amazing project from you know, age 15 to 17 if they put their mind to it. I think i have 18 students now. These more than ive had in the past. Im hoping to build up more of a studio. There will be a pee ono, lots of bookshelves and lots of great music. The students will come to my house and take their lessons there. My schedule changes a lot on a daytoday basis and that kind of keeps it exciting. Think that music is just my favorite thing that there is, whether its listening to it or playing it or teaching it. All that really matters to me is that im surrounded by the sounds, so im going top keep doing what im doing to keep my life in that direction. Good morning. Welcome to the budget and finance Committee Meeting for january 25th, and i guess i want to thank sfgov tv, michael and jim, for recording todays meeting, and making it available to the public and also good morning to our clerk, linda wong.

Resolution, retroactively for the department of Public Health to accept a grant approximately 300,000, participate in a program, California Department of Public Health and Oral Health Program, proposition 56, january 1, 2018, through june 30, 2018. Department of health. Hi, my name is margaret fisher, i represent the m. C. H. Department section of the department of Public Health. Im the Oral Health Consultant and the child health and disability prevention program. Approve the accept and expend for the grant of 308,000 sorry, exact amount. 879 for the first fiscal year, its a fiveyear grant, totaling 1. 500000 1,500,000. Sorry. With this grant we hope to create and support the infrastructure for local Oral Health Program that we have been developing for the past four years. Some of you were here when we presented the Strategic Plan for childrens oral health in San Francisco. With this, these funds, we will be able to hire for a category 18 grant funded only position and epidemologist, to help us describe the Oral Health Status of children and young adults in San Francisco. The other portion of this fund used for express hire for a Health Educator trainee for three years, to help promote the Oral Health Program in San Francisco. We also hope to support our three Oral Health Task forces in the high risk neighborhoods in the mission, in district ten, and also in chinatown, who have the highest rate of dental decay. Our children have up to 60 , kinders have dental decay in the high risk areas and we are hoping to bring it down to the National Healthy peoples average of 30 or less. So, we are targeting Health Disparity among the children of color and low income children in San Francisco. If theres any questions, im happy to answer. Ok. Thank you, any questions . Seeing none, glad you are going to be talking in those two areas, 60 sounds like a lot. So hopefully well get it back down to the normal and maybe drop below the normal, the 30. Any Public Comments on this item . Seeing none, Public Comment is now closed. Can i have a motion, please . Make a motion to send forth item two to full board with positive recommendation. Passes, thank you very much. Resolution approving authorizing agreement for conveyance and acceptance of interest in Real Property from state of California Department of general services, easements for subservice tiebacks, and property at 100 armory street. All right. This bundle of money coming. Rightofway manager, item before you today is the acquisition of some easements from the state of California National guard armory for the sfpc westside recycled water project. If you see on the graphic in front of you there, the project proposes 1. 6 million gallons of recycled water, to serve Golden Gate National park, lincoln gate golf course and a lot of the presidio properties, to save Drinking Water for drinking purposes instead of watering plants. The project is completely in the ocean side Treatment Plant and the National Guard armory one more, so if you look at the graphic, the next graphic here, this plat map, the National Guard armory sits like a castle above the ocean side Treatment Plant looking down on the village there. So, this is the graphic here shows that we have mostly hillside and terraced hillside, so its the easements are completely within the ocean side Treatment Plant but are technically on the National Guard armory property. And this next graphic just kind of shows you the areas that we are acquiring, a building easement, a permanent maintenance area, a tieback to go back into the hillside to support the walls and then a temporary staging area. And then the last graphic shows, or picture shows what it looks like from inside the ocean side Treatment Plant. So the National Guard armory building would be on the far left top corner there, looking down on the building, or looking down on the ocean side Treatment Plant, and then youll see here the hillside and the terraced kind of side, excuse me, the Hillside Terrace affected. Youll see in the photo there. Those green structures in the foreground on the righthand side will all come out and the westside recycled facility will go in that footprint there. Any questions, please ask. Thank you. Supervisor tang. Thank you very much. Im just wondering, i know the item before us is the Real Property agreement, but we have been in conversation with public works how to irrigate sunset boulevard, while not using Drinking Water. One of the issues, no way to obtain recycled water. Just wondering, would this help with that, sunset boulevard issue at all or do we need to create a whole separate pipeline for that . Well, again, im not the project manager so probably not the best person to answer the question, but this project is again i think to facilitate Golden Gate Park and other areas, we also have a San FranciscoGround Water Program where we are putting some well sites in Golden Gate Park. There must be some way to facilitate, i think, the request that you are making here. Ok. Hi, it would require a separate pipeline. What we can do, ask the project manager to see what it would take to run a pipeline up to sunset. I can send your office that info. That would be great, thank you. Okay. Any Public Comments on this item . Seek none, Public Comments are closed. I feel like this is one of the more exciting projects that i could really get behind, puc, and its all the water that we are going to save in the long run is going to be a really bonus for our system that is giving us our freshwater to drink and i like your suggestion, supervisor tang, that we expand it to even other areas, and it was fortunate to be out there in the Ground Breaking last week, was it last week, yeah, it was pretty exciting. I mean most exciting part of it was everybody and not sort of joking but not joking that this particular project is trying to hit some of the bigger areas where it would be the simplest to actually utilize the recycled water. Maybe in the future, hopefully not too far future, that we start considering whether or not, and along the line of supervisor tangs thinking, can we actually expand it in such a way that even homeowners at some point will be will have access to this, so that because i realize that when i stop watering outside, i actually reduced my intake by 60 . So, most of the water i was using in the home was to water outside and that made me realize how much i was actually wasting on the outside plants. Ok. Did i ask for Public Comments already . Yes, you have. Could i have a motion . Ill make a motion to send forth item three to the full board with positive recommendation. Motion passes. Chair cohen will take over. All right, good morning. Madam clerk, call item four, please. Resolution authorizing and approving amendment to lease with bgca management for bill graham Civic Auditorium increasing base rent to 25,000. Sponsor of this particular legislation is supervisor kim but today claudia goreham from the department of real estate will be walking us through a power point presentation and making the presentation on behalf of supervisor kim. Thank you. The floor is yours. Thank you, good morning, chair cohen and supervisors yee and tang. The resolution regards an amendment of the existing 20year lease of the bill graham Civic Auditorium to bgca management llc, approved in july 2010. About three years ago the tenant approved city staff with a proposal of creating a smaller venue space for music and events in a side of the building, approximately 900 seats. The new small venue would be two stories and include a new stage for music and other performances, and a ushaped balcony which takes it to the second floor of the building. Staff was encouraged, it would increase activity in the civic center and allowed negotiations to amend the lease. Neither city nor the tenant wanted to renegotiate a new lease, but just certain conditions in the lease, especially city staff, so terms that were more favorable to the city in certain aspects. With this with the assistance of the Mayors Office, the controllers office, city administrator and others, reached the deal which is before you. Majority of the lease terms and conditions remain the same. I could not list all of them, its a very big lease. Length of the lease, the number and length of options, the annual adjustment percentage, they all remain the same. Revisions to the existing lease include base rent, in 2010, 100,000, we have increased that to 300,000. In addition, tenant improvements. Under the original existing lease, there was an exhibit that had a very large list of tenant improvements that were specific to the building, that were negotiated before anyone got into the building, and it was to be 10 million. Under the lease amendment, that list goes away, and the tenant has agreed to make up to at least 10,250,000 in improvements that are more specific, such as modernization of the passenger and freight elevators, and modernization and upgrades to the actual electrical system in the main hall. In addition, under the existing lease, city has to pay 50 of the overage of the shred hole mark of 200,000, so utilities go over 200,000, the city pays 50 of whatever that number is. Under the amendment, tenant pays all the utilities. In addition, participation rent has changed under the old lease, you had to make a threshold mark of certain number of tickets sold. Under the new amendment, we are guaranteed a number for each nonticketed event, and that is 3,500 per main auditorium event, and 2,500 per smaller space, including any nonticket events in the new hall when its up and running. Additionally, city days were decreased from 50 to 25 because the city has never used 50 days and we never used more than 24. And finally, room 202, the city had use of but never actually fully occupied, is going to be incorporated into the polk hall. Other newer conditions are that the tenant wanted to install a new marquee on the back side, hay street side of the building. May i interrupt for a second . Who is the tenant . Bcga management, llc. Management company, thank you. I think there is a building manager inside the building, but they are not in the building. I understand. The marquee on the back side, they would like to improve that and as landlord, we are in agreement with that. They have to go through the different reviews and regulatory approvals, and if they do install one, the city will get 50 of that income. And finally, the lease amendments updates the lease to include all the newer and mandatory items that must be in the Real Property agreements, including prevailing wages, local hiring, wages and working conditions in workers and so on. If you have any questions, here to answer them. Supervisor yee has questions. And we have a b. L. A. Report to hear as well. Just for clarification, the rent, base rent of 300,000 is annual and that is for the whole building . Correct. Ok. And of, during the year then, whats available to the city is 25 days. Correct. And is there any fine print that states which days or is limited to . A lot of times i have seen these leases where the leasee, the person that leases the building, in this case the city, sometimes is at a disadvantage because you get the most lousy days. Like 25 days will fall on monday. Right. The only thing that the lease amendment does is change the number of days. The original lease has a very detailed description of how and when the city can use the days. Theres no restrictions on any of the days it can or cant have. It just has to give notice, it has to work with the tenant to make sure it does not already have an event or a Music Performance or calendared for those days, and only up to four days in a row. So, thursday, friday, saturday, sunday, saturday, sunday, monday, tuesday, Something Like that. But does not say you only get monday, tuesday, wednesday, thursday, doesnt say that. I realize in the spring, quite a few high schools use it for graduation. How does that impact them . Again, i dont think it will have any impact. We have never used our 50 days since 2010. Only gone up to 24 days. And that was one year. Usually its much less than that, so we ask for 25 days so we would be over the threshold mark we have used in the last seven years. And so when the high schools use it, is that considered a city use . Yes, it is. So youll protect the high schools. Correct, yes. And then what if you use more than 25 days. Possible, will you have like sublease it back . No, i mean we are in a very Good Relationship with the tenants, and if we need it, we can use it if we want, those are set aside for us. If we had to use it with other days, we would work with them on calendaring them on that. Any fiscal impact for more than 25 days . Each entity or department has their own fiscal impact. They have to plan on if they are going to use it for a particular event or performance, they the question is really between the city and the leasor, the management company. Now its 25 days. And all of a sudden the city says you know, we need ten more days. Are they going to give those ten days for free . Its not ever technically free. We have to pay for utilities and security and things like that. So, it allows them to set it aside and not you are right, not pay a stipend over and above what the costs are for using it. But i believe we have a good enough relationship with the tenant, that if we had to, we need it for all these days, they have allowed us to use it when its been raining and we had to put Homeless People in there and what not. So, you know, in certain emergencies and situations they have allowed us to come in and use them. I dont think that would change. This is kind of im sorry, i dont want to be im glad you have Good Relationship, but sometimes its odd that we dont have it in writing, i guess, for me. Like if you have these situations and one of these days that who knows whats going to happen in future, where about the relationship, and the fact that we are able to do it now, shouldnt we have that in writing in the contract to allow for those extra days . I think its a guaranteed 25, which it was a guaranteed 50, and we never used 50. So, it was kind of like why have that guarantee in there if we never could get to that points. And 24 was the highest we have ever used in the last seven years. So, it makes it so on their calendar we can sit there and take aside 25 days and have it on their calendar. Nothing that prevents us from saying oh, we need additional these days, can we work with you to find these days. Its just that they are not guaranteed on their calendar that we still have to work with them in case we want this month we need a couple more days, are you filled, do you have anything going on . I want to state for the Public Record that im not that comfortable with those type of gentlemens or ladies agreements, mainly because i know that things could change in the future and we have then no guarantee that we could actually do this in writing. Im also very confident if we needed to amend again the days, we could do that with their negotiation and agreement. Thank you. Budget legislative analyst and hear the report. Good morning, chair cohen and members of the committee, yes, as she pointed out, an existing lease with bcga management, for bill graham, that goes through 2030. It adds polk hall to the existing lease and revised the terms of the overall lease. The two major issues are the existing lease, utility credit provided to the tenant is sufficiently high that the tenant has actually not owed rent to the city in either 2016 or 2017. So the amended lease does move that utility credit because of that we actually estimate that revenues, and increases the base rent, and because of the two provision, increased revenue to the 13 years of the lease to 5. 7 million. Under the existing lease, there would be no revenues. Now, the adding on of polk hall technically under the admin code, it would require a competitive bid by the use of polk hall by a vendor or a tenant. Resignation does wave the Competitive Bidding process. Because the overall amendment to the lease improves, increases revenues to the city and improves the terms to the city, we do recommend approval of the process and recommend approval of the resolution. All right. Recommendation for approval. Lets go to Public Comment. Any member of the public like to comment on item four please come up. Good morning, supervisors, joanne desmond, stage hand, local 16. I believe you have a copy of the letter stating our support.

Thank you very much. Next speaker. Good morning, supervisors. Coming off of a very entertaining tv show thats been, the City Government of the procedures going on here. So im, what do you say, stay on schedule. Im here not knowing what they are talking about, but just for the sake of it, i support what yall are doing. And also i have comments, Public Comment, about bill graham. His production and everything. Because all that originated in the and history shows without a doubt bill graham came to my community and took away all the things a black man had, mr. Sullivan. And now, on fillmore and gary street, i dont know if you have the same people there renting out the property, called the fillmore auditorium, no blacks, we go in there, we dont have no kind of benefits, so yall talking about benefits over here, yall aint did jack frost. By the way, since im up here talking politically, all the politicians around here playing politics, politrick, im going to use this tv that you are watching, that i created, to do like what trump is doing. Hes a master at what hes doing in that tv, im the master down here locally. And im going to use this until yall give me my right to be in the media back there where there was no black media there yesterday, or the day before. All these blacks came in talking about racial and ginger, no, it was politics at its best. And i want to commend the supervisors, the progressives, because the progressives got to give it to moderates, and resolve the problems that we have and stop playing politricks. So when i get back to talk later, a good example of how the politicians and the supervisors and some of them are lame ducks, are playing politricks right here in this arena. Thank you. Thank you. Anyone would like to speak on item four . All right, seeing none, Public Comment is closed.
