The department has the authority to sign such an agreement, and once it is signed that triggers an action that then allows another appeal of ceqa which may come before you. We expect when you come back in september, and then if youre comfortable with that analysis and then we will have this contract in place by january, and all of the benefits that are part of that contract will be felt by the people of San Francisco, so in closing i want to say again as i did in the opening that the contract process has been done with the utmost integrity with the weight of the law and the rules every step of the way front and center.
