City departments, we feel like we feel as if we would like to wail until the final report has been finally vetted before we determine what portions of funds could go to what solutions as acquisition and rehab, subdifficulties. We talked about many different solutions. As youll see in the report, these looked at Public Private partnerships in conversations with private philanthropy i. Were in conversations with the tech industry. Were in conversations with the real estate to look at vacant or surplus city property.

To be prepared in writing and submitted inform the board of supervisors and the mayor and hope youll port that concept the ethnics Commission Tips to previously prepare this report once again we called for revisiting some of the concepts that were in proposal j that were feuded in part of the rewrite of the ethnics laws.
