actions as well as increasing the message to the community about reducing the water use. and to do that it s been actually, the response is almost immediate in my office. shortly after the announcement from the puc we got several calls from local schools or a water agencies to increase the messages out to community fire department s that level of activity has increased and we re anticipating to see that in all the activities around the region. we ve been having discussions with our public information office so the regional campaign for drought messaging and taking the managed fund and the grants we ve received to take advantage of that and the water statement was certainly a success loose time that was our recent experience. so we re looking to do & that and putting forth everything to watch things carefully and make sure we can act and encourage customers to do what they can to save in the future so. just one thing i continue to talk to any agencies and told memo committee l
i think i ll just make a couple comments and that s just that i note there are a number of different issues swirling around this planning code change including both the design which is not before us and also the labor issues which are also not before us. but i m really glad to see that through this process facilitated both with planning and president chiu s office we are able to resolve a number of those issues before the [speaker not understood] came before us. and i think it certainly will make for a stronger business presence on that corridor, having resolved many of those issues prior to this coming to the board of supervisors. so, congratulations on that work. thank you, supervisor kim. colleagues, are there any additional comments or questions on item number 3? okay. we ve adopted the amendments on item number 3 and as i understand it we can move these out of committee today. is that correct, mr. givner? okay. so, colleagues, i want to just thank supervisor chiu for
