Gear cleaning lots of debris. Its such a big job, we noticed many lots are now being covered with plastic tarps and straw barriers to keep toxic ash from washes out of lots into drains during the months of winter storms ahead. Rebuilding is another matter. Its going to be three to five years for most of the rebuild. Reporter full recovery predicts keith woods of the north Coast Builders exchange will perhaps take a decade. Every contractor i know in the area was busy before these devastating fires hit us. And this is going to put a real strain on capacity of local contractors. Reporter making matters more complicated, theres a serious shortage of labor to work for those contractors. We do not have anywhere near the capacity, the number of contractors to even come close to rebuilding the homes that weve lost up here in the tragedy. Reporter licensed contractors from other parts of the state can work here as well as from a few neighboring states where we have reciprocal agreements. But i
Precisely two years ago today, february the 13th of 2014. Well let them play it out there at the end of the overture. The 10year hit 1. 53, up 11 basis points since that low and oil is coming back after these opec headlines that well talk about in just a moment. A wild last 30 minutes and weve had disappointing numbers out of europe. The banks over there are suffering. Well talk about that with some of our guests coming up here and the impact thats having on our markets as well. It started in the overnight session today and it looks like the worst of it happened just as markets were testing that 1812 level and falling through it and this news out of opec, the u. S. Benchmark has moved up more than 3 off the lows of 30 minutes ago. Well get more insight from former leaders in the financial space over the next two hours about whats happening across the Financial Complex here. Peter sands is joining us and citigroup vice chair bruce rhodes and former wells fargo ceo. Not just the banks. L
Questioned that. I can go back to the Clerks Office and get that answer for you, ill get you an answer between meetings but ill definitely have an official answer. I guess i would need to know where is their time coming from, where is the other half and whats the responsibility there. Again, even if you look at lafco meeting once a month and those hours along with ours associated with work outside of lafco, its definitely probably more than likely wont even be onefourth of the time. I just need to have a clear understanding of how the time is broken down for that in particular. Secondly, i think what im missing here, i know this is really from my understanding and just, i was hoping you could clarify, were talking about this budget in the context of general fund dollars, not necessarily the cca dollars that come from the puc this is lafco general fund, which is separate from city and county general fund. Okay. And so where is this money coming from . This money, the city prior to i thi
Not referring to those costs in this because normally speaking you dont get to the level you need. You are getting into they technical stuff that you get away with just Drinking Water every day . L. Just echoing commissioner breeds administrative the Clerks Officery, i want you to know what the breakdown is on that and also to look at the 1314 budget would be helpful. Im inclined to say that were probably in line with the budget this year unless, you know, for the fy1516 year, unless theres some sort of consideration to make for the Committee Clerk salary and benefits just so that we would have if enough in the budget if we wanted to use outside Consultant Services. But i think that just echoing back to commissioner lindos thoughts on what do we do after that, is that well have a greater need for outside services as we sort of switch gears into a body thats not so consumed with cca i will definitely, i have the notes to get the 1314 budget. I think thats something thats pretty easy for
Or the meet after, but to think about is there a planning meeting that we can have with the commissioners to understand what do we see lafco doing as less and less work is coming in from cca, which is going to be some time but to anticipate that and try to understand how do we make sure that we have the funding and also that the work were doing is unique to lafco and is something that can be utilized foertd people that seek the resources and the help from lafco, including the board of supervisors and public that comes to us for research and questions. Okay. So some of the other things, weve also established a proper reserve policy. You may remember passing that a few months ago. One of the things i wanted to do is get our budget more in line with how the city and county does its budgeting currently so our process looks similar to theirs. I have worked with the chair to step a good review process to make sure it all occurs. Factors to consider for our request to the city and county as w
