We have a contract with lang Engineering Environmental to provide Environmental Conservation services to tida to monitor the navys Environmental Program, and we brought them on in 2013. This is a Selection Process that actually had been contacted before i arrived to tida. They replaced amec engineering and infrastructure. The contract was original term of three years with two oneyear optional extensions. A contract is scheduled to expire at the end of this fiscal year. I wanted to bring it to the board to discuss whether to issue a new rfq for the remainder of the navys environmental work or to modify the existing contract through the projected remaining four years of the work. Bringing in now for discussion and board action because if were going to issue a new rfq, we need to do so propermptly. So they do attempt the navys base closure meetings. We attend the monthly meetings between the navy and the state regulators. Its also attended typically on the phone by sfpuc and other city ag
We talk about a fair and transparent election, the millions of dollars that get spent in these elections really do give a disproportionate voice to the wealthiest among us to determine who our representatives will be. That said, i want to honor what many members of the public have said. You know, and step back from the nomination, but i do want to thank supervisor fewer for that generous nomination. I also, chair, president tang, if i may, wanted to address one nominee that i heard from many members of the public and in fact she was my first choice and i would have really liked to have nominated her today and that is city administrator naomi kelly. She is someone had has served at the helm of the city for decades and is a great public servant. And would have been a perfect fit for the interim mayor role.

And reuters highlights another comment from the Kentucky Republican where he said it is absurd lawmakers must chose between the Iran Nuclear Agreement or going to war. We will watch that News Conference now. It is half an hour. Morning, everyone. Today after the election at a Similar Press conference like this i said the American People expressed their opinion in the election and two things were on their mind. One was it was helpful to us obviously the president was not very poplar. But the other issue is the issue of dysfunction. The sense that nothing every gets accomplished here. To observers they were not sure what dysfunction was but if you worked here you know it was the senate. The senate was basically shutdown for literally years. How do you measure dysfunction . One way is do you vote on amendment amendmentamend amendments. We had 15 votes before this and 60 this year. The law requires us to pass a budget, not when we feel like it, but every year.
