Of crimes for which people are held, which is we have the population lets see, we were going to build a jail for 380 and we look at the jail population today with all of the work around bail reform and the psas and we have a population of about 313 based on this one date that the bla gave us and i look at these. I look at the crimes upon which people are being held and we know that we have the psa and i see crimes like murder. 30 people held for that, attempted murder, firstdegree robbery, assault with a deadly weapon, kidnapping to commit another crime, assault with a semiautomatic firearm, sexual intercourse or sotoomy with a child 10 years old or younger, kidnapping by use of drugs.

Supervisor brown, do you have any comments . I am happy that we have finally worked together and Found Solutions because as, you know, we know when we are talking to everybody on the streets, our constituents this is a top priority.

Jusjust the massing and articulation can respond. How about if we leave the option with the project sponsor to continue. Here is what im worried about, is what if it gets to the Planning Commission and they have better drawings and a better understanding of all of the agen adjacencies and someboy complains about a cast shadow. If you want to pursue a partial as a way of communicating different impacts, then i would say we leave that up to you. Or just leave it in the way it is and follows the project. Yeah. Thats clear. That would be clear. I wouldnt want do we have concurrence . Just concurrence tha
