disagreement with each one of those. before we do that, i do not know if there is anyone that wanted to add anything? before we go into discussion, why don t we hear from members of the public that would like to speak on this item. please come forward. thomas picarello again. i also want to thank the san francisco civil grand jury for their work the entire year. not only on this report, but for their reports on the ethics commission, and also the report on the controller s office regarding the whistleblower program. with all due respect to this committee, colleagues on the full board, it is unfortunate that the civil grand jury is the only entity in the city doing any oversight on your city departments, city agencies, and cbo s. you should read all of your civil grand jury reports and follow their recommendations. these are average citizens, some lawyers, some school teachers. they have no agendas, they have no political constituency, and they re giving you sound advi ....

supervisor, is there anything else? supervisor elsbernd: that would be it. this would be, as i said, readily available for the public to review. supervisor mar: if there is nothing else, was there anything else? i did have a very brief presentation, and i did want to clarify to the members of the committee that redline revisions were also submitted to the draft development agreement itself, not the ordinance, but the development agreement itself, which was posted by the clerk on friday. i did want to briefly summarize those for the public, and i wanted to emphasize that copies will be available by the end of the day on the planning department website as well, per our usual practice. they were posted with the clerk. i want to clarify on friday, however, as required by the city, by the board rules. supervisor mar: just to remind everyone, items two, three, four, and five were called altogether. develop an agreement as item two. ms. byrne read the amendments for the spec ....
