difficult timeline of getting all the ballots measures on the ballot, getting them heard properly, and the work of the clerk s staff to monitor several committees simultaneously, and wanting to make sure that there aren t mistakes made getting measures on the ballot, i felt like it would be easier and more appropriate to take away those measures from a third committee by putting the stress on the clerk of the board to have to monitor three committees, perhaps create special committees. it s just too much. it s just too much to ask. [please stand by] . chairman: why don t we go to public comment on this oh, i m sorry supervisor chan. supervisor chan: i was just thinking about how do we move this important agenda forward making sure that our clerk can do the best that they can, you know, that they can to really meet our goals and needs and this is really a critical piece. i really, again, just given what we have been through in the last ten months as families and with jus

So, so long overdue and i thank you so much. And i have questions, but that will come a it gets tested. Its not worth going into it. Its been a pleasure to work with you ~ for the few projects we worked on. Thank you. I do want to say theres been a team of 20 planners on this project for a couple years now. We have, as john knows, been bled by an interesting staff. Having planners willing to participate when they have so much on their plates. [speaker not understood]. The Planning Department has benefited hugely from that. This is going to be challenging, but everybody sees what it has to offer, so, were getting there. Thank you. Thank you. Seeing nothing else well move on to the next item. You want to call public comment. Pardon me. So, any member of the public yes, howard. Garv, commissioners. Obviously im here on another topic, but im very interested in this. It looks like an absolutely wonderful system. Last year i participated in the process to vet the citys proposed requirements
And i hope there is some way they can be linked not just through the address, but really somebody that reads for content would say, oh, this is the same project. Theyre just now sort of back dooring in some of the other things that werent known to this commission and to the Planning Department. You would have had a different reaction and the public would have had a different ceqa reaction. So, i want to bring that to your attention because it bugs a lot out of me to tell you that i see it all the time. There are increases in the scope of work and there are just plain new applications one by one. Some of them come in the back door through plumbing. Its very creative. But the point is that when it happens, the planning code is advertised is not appropriately enforced. You all didnt see it because you cant. And if you come in with something innocent on day one, but day five, you know youre getting to the good stuff, thats what i would hope this tracking system alerts everyone in the Plann
A wonderful person so you were blessed to have her serve is he. I have been tracking the tracking system for many, many years so i am very relieved that its coming to fruition. And i think everyone here is going to be very benefited by it. I just want to bring to your attention and followup on what cathy howard just said about ceqa issues. There is a game in town, in case you havent heard it, its called serial permitting. So, i would hope that some way commissions such as this are not blind sided with the fact that theres a permit with an application no. That looks perfectly innocent and doesnt actually possibly even have any planning code issues, but it will be when you start getting into permits a, b, c, d, and e. And i hope there is some way they can be linked not just through the address, but really somebody that reads for content would say, oh, this is the same project. Theyre just now sort of back dooring in some of the other things that werent known to this commission and to the
