Before i start that, i just wanted to say that since the last meeting, we have gone from summer to winter and from fires to floods, as is how it goes in San Francisco. I just wanted to say thank you and to acknowledge the department of Emergency Management, the p. U. C. , public works, m. T. A. , fire and rec park.
