But one thing that i would say, its interesting to have this conversation because, you know, there is clearly things that need to be addressed. You know, the question is does it rise to the level of losing accreditation. A little while ago, this committee had a hearing where we heard from our external auditors, and the Successor Agency to the Redevelopment Agency was actually found to have a Material Weakness, which is as high a noncompliance of the audit as it gets. And it had to do, by the way, Material Weakness around finances. And, you know, what i im not happy that that happened, but instead of saying, lets close down the Successor Agency, i would simply say, lets figure out how we make it better, which was actually what we were trying to do here. applause and, so, i am not going to justify any fiscal financial mismanagement by anyone, but i do want to make sure that i know what it is but it is based on facts.

Justify any fiscal financial mismanagement by anyone, but i do want to make sure that i know what it is but it is based on facts. [speaker not understood]. applause and thats why thats why the Mayors Office the matt report is important. If we can get reports from persons in various areas and thats exactly why we have bens office engaged and why we have kates office engaged. So, these are going to be ways in which, again, we look at it from a very different perspective, being mindful about the fiscal responsibility that is put forward. And then having said that, you know, the other area that the mayor just wants to really push around is enrollment. And i know, supervisor avalos, you asked what is it that we can all do that kind of brings us all together. We clearly have some differences of opinion in which each of our energies want to be focused. But i think the best thing that we can do for our students is to, is to calm them and let them know that the college is open, that were regist

Having worked on and being an important player in the changes that happened in the School District, im all for those standards. But lets take that example, the payroll as an example. One of the things that does worry me, and i wonder if the mayor has this concern, if you guys have this concern, right, we have known about this payroll issue i think for quite sometime, have hadthctionv we . ~ havent we . I dont know not with the example that i gave. Okay. But we know that, we know that the structure of many of the departments at city college are not on solid ground. The thing that i dont understand is that the state chancellor had, you know, people from that department, that agency at city college for the last year. Supposedly working on these things, right .
