Can we have the next caller. Caller good evening, supervisors. Todd snyder for district 5. I thank you for amending this measure next week and supporting it thus far. I ask that you continue to support it today. And i want to point out that an arbitrary number of Sworn Police Officers provides no flexibility to adapt to the changing needs of our city. And this came from a Consent Decree entered into in 1979. And lifted in 1998. It has no relevance to the city today. So i urge you to continue to support this measure and to put it before the voters on the ballot in november. Thank you. Clerk thank you. Can we have the next caller, please.

We did a whole thing to calculate it and we gave the Zoning Administrator the ability to adjust it as needed. The point is to ep sur ensure it a bar masquerading as a restaurant and theyre legitimately serving food and we think this allows an easier way for businesses to combine still clearly having food as a major focus of their revenue model. Where did you get that figure . It was a calculation from our restaurant study, we took the model from washington, d. C. And then we redid it through a local study of revenue of restaurants and took the 25 percentile and i can send you calculations if that would be helpful. Where you say the Zoning Administrator can lower the figure at any time, is that decision bound by any oversight by the Planning Commission or board of supervisors .
