Descriptive of what were trying to achieve with this committee and a more well rounded perspective of our district, too. So, i am a little dismayed that none of them have a very strong education background and i think also that because i dont know what schools they represent or where theyre from, i think i dont have enough information to approve this today personally. Im just speaking for myself, but thank you, mr. Ar men trout. Commissioner mendoza. Thank you. When do we have to have this approved by . Commissioner mendoza, theres no deadline. The committee has an active body that has the minimum number to operate. So, the numbers could be approved at any point. This brings it up to full capacity. So, we would like to have this approved. The Oversight Committee and we would like to get going with the school year and to have the members participate. One example is that the Oversight Committee will be participating in the qtea impacting innovation awards which is happening that process
Workers show up on time for the designated shifts and performing the duties as required, that goes into the noncompliance breach of contract arena and the district has all of the contractual legal contractual rights to deal with that, you know, if and when Something Like that occurs. So, there would be a process where we would engage with a contractor saying a, b, c and d, this isnt happening, why isnt it happening, when are you going to make it happen . If the answers to those were not satisfactory, then the district would begin a relatively speedy process to terminate the contract. All of our contracts, all the district contracts have a 30day termination provision in them. We dont even have to have a reason. Thats just in the public contracts code. So, there is ample ammunition should it be necessary for the district to take appropriate action if the contractor is not performing. Commissioner fewer, and then commissioner wynns. So, mr. Goldman, i think that the gentlemen tonight, the

Tonight, and abc will have to honor and respect the contract they sign with us or its not going to be a very happy relationship. So far i have no reason to think otherwise. And in your discussion with our counsel, ms. Coleman, have you all sort of reasoned out what would happen in the event that during sometime during the contract thing didnt work out for the workers, as you said, you have no reason based on all the processes that have happened thus far to think anything would go wrong. But if something did go wrong, have you vetted with Legal Counsel what steps we would take, if any, at sfusd . I dont have the agreement in front of me, which was part of the bid proposal.

Give taken a particular interest. You go there lots a what draws you up there . A couple of things. Canada as in northern nation. That is what, one of the things that makes us distinct from the United States. Whereas in canada, the United States, you say go west to find your identity.

One is that this government is extremely proamerican. The valiant the relationship with the United States. We could not be in a better situation than to have the United States as our only real labor, closest economic partner and oldham of the allied. And ally. At the same time, were Strong Canadian nationalists and think in our own modest way. We see no incompatibility with that.
