Sprinklers in the house. Are you reneging on behalf of your client on that commitment . I dont think that she was aware of the fact that its not required. That doesnt matter. There was a request neighbor to neighbor, will you put in sprinklers in your house, and what i was just hearing again, i cant read that far and i could request that we postpone this and we get that all printed up, but what i heard was we will put sprinklers in the house. So regardless of whether its required or not, there was an implied contract between the your client and the neighbor. Im asking you, on behalf of your neighbor, are you reneging on your clients commitment she put in writing. Im not reneging. The reason is she thought it was required. This house is gutted. Theres a lot of work going on. So with your permission, if we move forward under further conversation amongst the commissioners, you wont feel bad if we put in sprinklers given that your client said it was okay.

I also think in terms of when you look at the mayors power visavis the board, if the mayor appoints someone who is then prohibited from running for reelection, the mayor will have less incentive to appoint someone who actually reflects that district and who will therefore be viable to seek reelection in that district. The mayor, in fact, will have incentive to appoint someone who is not necessarily responsive to the district, but is more responsive to the mayor. And that person can be in office for six months. And, so, the last thing we should be doing is putting supervisors in office who have no prospect of ever having to face the voters again and who, therefore, are going to have less incentive to actually care about what the voters need and what the voters want. So, i know that supervisor avalos intention is to reduce the power of the mayor visavis board appointments, but in one sense it actually can increase that power. So, in the end i think we have a good and workable system. Are
