Billion to make San Francisco schools the best. Before i tip the haiti cant stand not to share good news more the 11 year the bond program has no finding with that, clapping. id like to im going to turn it over to mr. Dana and other person to discuss this. Thank you very much it is what a great great deal of pleasure i present the San Francisco Unified School District bond citizens ssi we meet regularly throughout the school year for an update of all all the board expenditures as evidenced by the slide presentation were proud of the completed work and the works in process one of the things you touched briefly open was the fact of the teamwork of everything it is like the summer to help with the opening i up that skims and jose ortega who shows up working hard was mr. Golden and his team to make sure the schools open on time and to see the entire staff under washington working that was a Team Operation we see those nice beautiful buildings that is the people that make it happen and mr. Geology golden has been a pleasure to see the hidden the scenes needed to complete the building and happier time i can report that the dollars expended have been according to the boards specifications and everything is well executed and were all enjoying the beauty of what this district has provided for all the people thank you. And he will add as the auditor that im the one that gets to look at the expenditures and conclude and basically nancy was saying we make sure i mean of primary concern the amounts are in line with what the voter approved the bond election and if you read the reports theres two separate reports one for the 2006 and one for the 2011 a significant amount of expenditures that are looked at physically the orders of i forget the number but in the range of 5 hundred separate expenditures because we look at payroll and all the expenditures that have been passed through the bond funds and we as david alluded to not in any finding and so i want to add that we had met with the Oversight Committee and they approved the are draft reports and met before the audit commence to make sure the scope of the audits is in line with their expectations so that has gone out without any hassle so good clean reports. Yes. Thank you, mr. President i also before we go any further i want to give my congratulations to our chief officer mr. Golden his Credible Team and the bonds Oversight Committee across the country is not uncommon to find bond programs in trouble and especially we have another year with zero finding hates a huge testament to the work that mr. Golden does and the Oversight Committee on behalf of the district our thanks and congratulations for doing a good job and briefly is that San Franciscos voters deserve a huge congratulations that the schools you saw this evening seismicallyly fit and ada compliant and absolutely beautiful that are not cookie cutter schools they have character and the character of San Francisco would not be possible were it not for the support of ballot box so on behalf of the 47 thousand students and staff that do their work thank you to the voters of San Francisco for your support of bonds programs thank you parapet i wanted to echo that sentiment and say thank you to the voters of is 0 San Francisco and the continued support for our schools and also the people i think who helped also pass this bond which we do have to have the stated bond but mr. Golden people cant truly appreciate all the work into entrants unless you see the construction sites and see schools like jose ortega being completely, completely almost rebuilt i did a walk through couldnt imagine and it is spectacular it is a school worthy of our students and it is absolutely beautiful so also, because of finding are to pristine i think this district has not always had some finding but we i think that also and that is all the way back but i just want to say that builds and face and trusts in the voters they can trust us were good stewarts of their money thank you very much. Commission. Thank you really i just want to echo the comments of others have made it is so wonderful to see this beautiful building i know our students get to go and grateful to you, mr. Gotten for all the work you and your team did and very, very grateful to the bent over backwards Oversight Committee bylaw without you you know maybe people wouldnt trust. Much were squeaky clean thank you for the hours your Committee Puts in im proud to be part of this and thank you, again mr. Golden thank you for all you do. Congratulate and recognize mr. Golden very dedicated team this kind of work didnt happen needless you give one and 10 percent and it is wonderful to see nancy a long time principal at rooftop thank you for continuing to add to the district and, of course, our auditor i want to invite the members of the jury members of the public to see our schools when was the last time folks stepped into our schools i remember going to wall even beggar and i saw it transformers transformed to be this amazing highly. Thank you to mr. Golden and the committee and well, i just want to say from the prospective of someone ive been here a long time theyve been wonderful to have people dedicating their lives to the School District and make the opportunity to be involved i want to congratulate everyone on the audit and it really is extraordinary record but we know that this in recent years because of recession we were getting more out of the bond measures that is a testament to the kind of professionalism and exercise of the people those promotions would have cost more and are costing us more but if it is possible i want to know how difficult to be i dont want to make a huge benchmark so we can know which projects how much we saved and what we did with that money it is important we cant expect to have that kind of on experience for the future but with the future bonds were going to do the estimates for the costs are more adequate it is kind of i mean its been for many people very unfortunate the economic downturn it was unfortunate but the aspects of what we got out of construction money is a benefit to the students the present and future and if we can do that in a relative simple way i saw the audits at the they on tell you what is the finance reports that is wonderful but didnt give us i know we gotten some of this anecdotal you said this project was under budget we got to do this but generally that bond program. So some of what want is easy and some complicated the 2006 bonds period which was the period of sort of crash of the world as we know it in some ways we were getting projects bidding grols under what we estimate he remember going back and literally doing all the work that we wanted to do plus more and when it was offer we went back to the schools and did ever more and it was good the most of the 2011 bond the reverse has been true the economic is incredibly strong our projects are costing 25 and thirty percent more weve adopted a new philosophy we like the idea and the other bonds we intoxicate a school and did the project right as opposed to the 2003 bond we focused an ada fire safety and the lopez lawsuit we like walking off the school site and did 90 are 95 percent of the work and not come back 5 or 10 years later so if you look at our budget in the 2011 bond youll see that almost ever project is greatly expand over what we first started the bond mostly we have made the decision to get rid of of mod last years in the classroom and transformer the campuses the end result some of the projects the 2011 bonds were in fact slide to the next bonds because well won out run out the of of money so i can give you some of that but were sort of moving escape caesar and so many of the schools are problematic changes from the time we start to get to the project ill do any best. That would be great. We all are going to do campaign for the bonds including the committee i will be well need for familiar so we have assurance and confidence tell the members of the public to support sews their extraordin y extraordinaryly generous but say disadvantaged what you said in 2006, we is a new standard to the schools interests an extraordinary examples and some of the projects will move to the in relation bonds and their costing us this much, etc. That would be perfect. Commissioner, i have a quick question im curious how many mod last years we have how many campuses modulars. All the modulars we rent are gone only those that we own and first and foremost those were not getting rid of because as long as tare serviceable but the Long Term Strategy eventually will be replace the modulars but i havent look at that. I myself want to thank you, supervisors for putting this together i saw i know that works and the access students i myself as a senior will not witness but i know many will enjoy the new guy. I unfortunately dont like the room but i look forward to seeing coming back and seeing and hearing how they enjoy it yes, maam the classroom so thank you. Commissioner mendozamcdonnell. Thank you a sweat shirt same thing so every school my kid went to got renovated after we left we didnt get to see all the beauty this is exist it is just a moment for us to reflect weve seen you know in the course stories of schools that dont have proper heating and havent been painted in years and years and years and challenges of the other district were blessed to have the support that the voters provided i also want to appreciate the sustainable projects the schools whether greeting projects or attachment and those great i think we go to some of the schools and amphitheaters that are created to do outdoor teaching that is beautiful i recognize that doing projects has an opportunity been easy and tom has been a god sent and the management of so much work that your staff and outline i all the folks are been tremendous so that selfgo unnoticed and want to thank you for you will have that it is interesting between 2008 and 2012 when not a lot was going on in the city we were the only game in town and i think that speaks volumes to some of the opportunities weve provided in terms of employment and you know keeping food on the table for many of the folks that were the Construction Business driedup so again really grateful we had the opportunity to do that and being able to keep hymie i mean when things are dry were going and getting a great deal and enabled us to think about the contingency dollars and i think that you were really smart how those dollars were spent we were able to put those and latest think that this what the schools mean not only in terms of the great learning investment bow the pride our kids and teachers and names have for the schools to go to a beautiful green school and a Healthy Learning environment with with regulated heat it means a lot for a teacher its extremely important to be in a nice environment with closet space and new technology and ways not walls at least crazy pods we used to have and so it really i think speaks volumes to the priorities at least we put forward for the School District and youve run is critical well, thank you for continuing to keep us on point and making sure that as we get audited there are things that we need to be concerned about and lets stay clean we have more to follow. Stay clean all right. Thank you we appreciate that and the good news so thank you. Thank you. All right.

I want to tell you that we have kindergarten vaccination was 95 but only increased not 10 percent we want to reclarify that the pr office has confirmed that and just so you know who is the California School Board Association that wrote that i dont remember youre taking their boilerplate language and inserting ms. Chin the director of that unelected body is someone that advocated is not writing the language and incorporating it into the district regulations that is it ethyl or proper it believes the health and safety of students safety for sure health no education should be your pirate or First Priority education not Public Health department thats why we wanted to add the following language ive sent you the language in the absence of a health and energy as or emergency as declared by a officer to prioritize the Education Needs over the Public Health needs when marking access decisions it is simple can you include that this is the board of education not the department of health so i would think that is appropriate you say it a technical update for the state law you have choices who what to put in about exemptions i think some kids shall be included from missing one of 49 shots and coming home people have more rights and children should not be shot with vaccination that is not equality that is not Affordable Health care okay.

This was recommend to move forward with the with a positive recommendation from the Curriculum Committee. And the report ms. Norton for the budget. The Budget Committee heard on i believe on february 3rd we made a small amendment the staff report found significant costs that was because the resolution said the pilot be implemented in the 20172018 school year that made certain hiring and experiences before the Program Placement was complete we amended the committee to make clear that we only intended a pilot to be attempted should the program plummet process be findings that it is feasible with that, amendment the Committee Gave the resolution a positive recommendations there was going to be updated budget analysis based how the new language not having to do a pilot and a Program Replacement correct mr. Lee.

Huge number of listeners supporters over the last few decades so as this is such a big anniversary and in fact, 91 my tenth report believe it or not it is true i hope youll tell you this me as and make a higher presentation fiscal year on i see the formula it sustained the station and i even where it is a potential where growth lies in 3 elements innovation, developing new talent and finally partnering with the community ill start with innovation when k l a w went on the air in 1941 and the San Francisco Unified School District were students westbound license to this Radio Station theres a little bit of things we will be broadcast on k l a w it is cool to see that at the time fm was Initiative Technology people didnt dr. Fm radios in our houses it was was r. C. A was at the worlds fair in 1939 demonstrating theyre Going Technology that k l a y came to be forward looking teachers realizing the opportunities that the signal and the broadcast equipment that r. C. A willing to coat oh, this is an opportunity to you teach students in the 1941 they launched what was then one of the first fm stations on the west coast the first if San Francisco what is now the oldest fm station west of the mississippi it is historic we should note that was at the forefront when it began and continues to innovative the 70s we moved our broadcast tower our transmitser but broadcasting to twin peaks that gridlock expanded the number of people that heard the station and k l a w went from educational to a public Radio Station for outdoor looking and thinking about what will draw listeners and the first station in San Francisco to bring in pr programming became the west coast station of record and still are and so those are old log these interest was change in k l a w was part of change now public radio everything is talking about what is happening in pod cast like cereal if youre trying to ask whether the pod cast bathroom status it start with the 9 percent i think visual we enhance and k l a w in 2011 start with a partnership with the architects of San Francisco and the station where we said we want to work on programs of design and fortunately, we picked a fabulous person that romanced romanced it is important to reach ought to left turns or listeners by a pod cast in 2011 it is unusual thinking but k l a w they started at k l a w we wanted to connect this a Design Program with someone that is talented now the program mass been downloaded many time how to find a pod cast they call roman november in the bay area that wants to create something new want to do that they come to us we recognition how to give talented people room to work and try new things that is one of the reasons why deborah you know short lived a cable short lived program that is based on in the bayview but someone that has national recognize on cnn but came here he knew the work we was like i want to starts something new with w or k l a w we are implementing a show right now is live radio and social Media Program it is not like anything else in radio and not in public radio we think while it addresses the kind of things that public Radio Audience are interested in we did a seethe about the drought. Talked about radium in hollywood and the black lives matter on the bay bridge a changing the printouts around gender identity theyre in the midst of what people are talking about but the voices he brings into that makes it entertaining and a great deal of fun so im very excited and a opportunities to reach out to listeners but who we havent address and a abusive is not this thursday but the swedishamerican hall if our interested ill do any best to hook you up the kind of things to make the Initiative Programs go to new places in public arrow that then ill have to find next innovation it was primarily a Training Facility 3 decades of k l a w the first one was train the when the station started that was 1941 september of 1941 we went on the air and world war ii began a huge need for radio operators and many of the men that were operators in the pacific were trained to k l a and a group of broadcasting women that were taking over the jobs that those civilian men were leaving and important work and to this day were not you primarily a training station teaching people skills developing new talents is part of what we do over the last seven years i should say the journalist they give an award to an outstanding jouvent and 3 of the awards were given to reporter at k l a w it is Angela Johnson that one, the award last year but an example we create the kind of we bring forward talented people and give them a place to start that gives back to the community and recognized by professionals the field we also as you know have recorded to you previously we say program we kind of formalized the train so we have a program that is open to applications from the communities during the end of the spring we bring in a new class every cement for an Audio Academy developing new voices and connections the community in audio jouchlt and audio production those are the class of 2016 i wish the quality of my photo were better but folks that are coming in and learning the craft and also creating great radio their reports are now being heard on our local news magazine and a number of people that are graduates of previous years are not on to other work it is valuable ill point you to if you go to you tunes on the pod cast called one that is the intersection that is the pod cast pursued by david bay area his idea was talk about the change in the bay area into one corner in San Francisco and other city to say what is going on whats the changes when he was the audio complained that was may i have a motion getting people to talk about and hoe humorous interpreting changes he since graduated from the audio technically and Grant Funding to get this an ongoing series and the current episode series hes do is all about not that far away from golden gate i recognize you go if youre someone that stribz and interested what happens in the bay area and the work out of k l a w is a great example why it is important we have the space for people to develop 9 tlaentsz that a Community Based Radio Station where stories will get told not employed but paying attention to people that might not be paid attention to go deeper so ive talked about innovation ive talked about developing new talents next Community Partnerships what k l a w why i took over as general manager my predecessor left me with a few pieces of wisdom always doing things in a partnership if you possible can figure out people that bring resources to the work you do as you develop them our most fundamental partnership is the School District thank you to the people on this board and in this district who have stood by us in difficult times and thinks that we are unique in the School District and respect the way we operate and also understand the value of that kind of operation investigating dependence we need to connect with the listeners i have to say ive talked with other general manager of stations at other School Districts and other College Places the relationship with k l a w a level of sophistication to run a Media Institution that is unusual so thank you, very much for that. And he also i just want to thank a few specific people we count on rita has been great to work with over the past year a very Good Relationship with joe ross are people im like we have a positive step and built only this thank you, rita our budget analyst and paulette the fiscal Year Services and someone we need to focus on paulette is there and sue thank you for your help and responsiveness and casey and angie from the Legal Department and h.

Thank you david gold man we discovered to take that opportunities around this rooms to improve what we do i want to thank you for being a partner thank you and myong leigh and the loan of the district has been a great sounding board for me so our partnerships are the district is very important our Community Participation that result in broadcast i also want to talk about for a moment youll see a number of the community parkinsons in the extensive report with the Jewish Community center and the power of sf performance many of the relationships that benefit the listeners and make k l a w a richer place i want to talk about two aspirins no, im doing good. I want to talk about two partnerships that have inspired me in recent years wore one of them is a hybrid partnership that developed i want to give you a sense in 2013 the Arts Commission talked to us doing work request the bayview and highlight positive stories people making changes in positive ways we partnered to produced radio stories with profiles of people doing great work the community the sites and sounds of bayview the opera house we have Live Performance to, or go with the stuff onstage and come together and gather a Great Success did it again in 2015 and we came out of that feeling two things we have a model we want to build on and second we wanted to highlight Creative Arts and performers not given coverage in the arts or the bayview so we went to the california arts consul u council to take the sielths and sounds of bayview to a new area like oakland we have a longstanding partnerships are a Public Record and second to with develop a weekly radio feature that brings under Community Based arts and talk about others art things going on the scenes of the bayview but point to a great art exhibit an interesting performance or a installation at the gallery he noticed this guy does amazing work every morning youll hear that the interviews we take with an artist a local artist were including the music and others sounds it makes it very accessible broadcast so i guessed im getting borrowing the council said, yes were producing this feature and have pardoned participated with a group that is related to this that does training with reporters and Community Based retirees and teaching the audio skills about arent from that communities and the cross magazine so live event well do we think we can take this to other places did ideas start with a partnership and idea and people the admitted and see what works and how you can do that that is the kind of work i get excited and this is our host of sight and sounds with lyrics bone offers here for one sight and sounds statement so thats one the other one i want to talk about people that listen to other cross friends they having may have heard on the san quentin in 2013 we partnered with some men inside of san quentin interested in hike specific thai or theres was a san quentin news they wanted to do something audio your News Department made a connection and started partnership with prisoners that wanted to do stories inside the prison and bring them to a journalist lyric sound and give them we meet every month producers that go out and were out interest to do training and development with the folks ive liked the project i always liked i think i have you know have a curiosity what is lifelike for people in what seems a foundational situation but new december we got invited a group if k l w got niefld to an event by a pod cast for folks that were to k l a w and did a live story at the chapel okay stories im so glad were here drawing that out but kind of realized how powerful these prisoners are how important they are echt theres one not just like were doing them a favor no their stories are important i so and came away learn a lot and having a sense of those are members of our community and for people that have connections for people in prison they understand that in right now but those stories dont necessarily understand and particularly exist tends all the men were standing up here were the men of the society for Northern California san quentin chapter and about half of the folks on the san quentin that was broadcast on k l a w i was grateful to be able to participate and theyre talking our pod cast and we will be in consultation with them. Finally we want to talk about the partnership that is very defuse that is of course, with the since the early 90s, the School District has not provided cash support but it is very valuable in Kind Services but station raise hits on budget and operating budget and about 72 percent at that time comes from listeners the balance from Grant Funding and im glad to say the individual giving revenue support from listeners is a positive trespassed here as you can see so the blue is the first half of the year and the red the second half of the year if you look at you see that blue bar for this year is this is what we raised from the first part weve not raised at the station listeners are really, really incredible and we certainly have done work to communicate with the listeners this is the value we try to communicate like program that i passed out to you to get a difference idea but the response has been positive youll see that there and because of that positive trend our unrestricted net assets im sure that rita and my auditor will not agree but arisen from under one hundred thousand dollars focusing 10 to a comfortable place a little bit over 600,000 the past school year so thats very positive Public School i have to tell you next year when i come to report to you focusing 16 bar will certainly i leave room for anyone that wants to congressman that reality but it is most likely it number will be smaller ive mentioned were broadcasting from the portals this is rare i have to rip up our station were taking advantage to replace the row decor of over broadcasting all the reports we report on are broadcast so when a caller calls in maybe well so weve budgeted against some of that cash reserve to replace the heart of that while were the process or id like to take the opportunity that over and resdoich our studios so we can actually do more production liquor the only there was a lot of studio time if you wanted to book studio time no problem now not the case were doing a lot more production but were going to doy design it will let us produce more in the same space and to be able to accommodate Live Performance for the musicians to have a place theyre welcome and not kind of get into a corner and make their live music it will be nice to musicians as well thank you not a 10 thousand view but thank you very much for your thank you for your time and consideration and sports over time i well questions and well ideas in a moment over and over subsequence to the meeting and yes.

Very few a lot of people say that is extraordinary we have this asset and last thing i want to say when you one of the huge engages do us that makes our schools more successful to people particularly because many of the you know people dont live in San Francisco and are would be they can now stream them live on the computer but people are it in habit of listening i dont know about you mrvrnt but i talk to others around the bayview and they said oh, i listen to you on the radio dont he get enough on your own it is a treasure thank you for nurturing this thank you ms. Mendozamcdonnell. It is a great highlight of the updates i really appreciate all the enough of them you know for somebody that licenses to the station all the time in the car my kids are young adults are lefthand side to the station in the car dont change it they turn it up all sorts of great programming and want to make sure you can im occurs if any of the change in shifting and technology have effected your programming at all or enhances it and then ive been curious how you work with or compete against k p dr what that looks like. When you say just help methinks when our thinking of Technology Change for what we do i mean, ill Start Talking and you tell you i think were going introduce a different huge change how people listen i think that people are recognizing the value of audio media right now it is really you think predicted there a lot big money comping both that space realizing thats why you see people that are radio producers that is no question that that is great place to sell advertising and were actually in peoples lives they will popin that pod cast and do it, it is simply to side were definitely thinking of i mean i think there is a reason theyre taking the talent from public radio thats it where we have great Story Tellers to continue to figure out the freelance were having conversation saying okay we have those kind of pod casts weve developed and programs the air that might do well, there and pod casts pretty much everything without music issues we put the form of pod cast but number one how we think about marketing to people to listen to them and forensic m pr has a m pr one that is collect it auto and choose k l a w as our local station respect so it will give you a stream of stuff if you dont like it you can press next story oh, this is interesting so were looking at we have the person ahead of design on m pr one and talking about how things are and how we get our stuff customized were thinking how we stay in front of people when the fm dial is not where people are and we managed to hold our listening folks steady we know that change is coming so part of it i mean to be honest open deduction go on in the station how to work with producers that might time to create more pod casts and things out to the people yeah yes keep our broadcasting a angle excellent Radio Station people are still license in realtime on the fm signal or online but we know were thinking about it i cant say we have to tackle by some things there is a heck of a lot of stuff people pick through so there is a materially role what you discover here is really, really good stuff you know, i mean you go to i tunes how options and month listeners are consider 60 different pod casts offering politics so we can also play that role. And times if there is something you guys are playing im not interested in ill listen to another station but overtime that station is playing the same thing thing. So our station we as an individual connection we see ourselves and grassroots willing to take risks we also and one of the things that distinguished our pod casting we do more headlines and we try and you know morning addition youll hear pr flag someplace it not it is hard not to fill that avoid but try to have things you know a lot of things youll find over k l a w but local stations we Pay Attention but basically think that is good to be into two newspapers. Great congratulations you did a fantastic job i was on the board and really great to see what you do and continue to listen to you thank you. Dr. Murase. Thank you years ago you were mere before us with the missouri joe asking for a line of credit i really remember that because a lot of mail from folks saying what are we are doing were facing layoffs and investing in a Radio Station but this board supported that line of credit youve really turpitudes so many things around at the station i tomato congratulate. And call out that discussions we suggested there is more opportunities for student combfrment at the station because your housed at the school site ways to bring the students into the station you took that to heart and started a program that really allows tour students to benefit from the fact we own and operate a Radio Station thank you and think of ways to bring students into the stations. To let you know were weve discussed before you know were understand providing a good experience for high School Students as far as attachments and it takes finger friends summer enterprisers we have a dedicated staff member thats what theyre doing nostril tagging long and making copies we understand a curriculum around it i want you to know that ive been talk we have a longstanding editorial relationship with youth radio but talking about how we might try to bring youth radio curriculum stuff into San Francisco and know perhaps users burton go next door to k radio were thinking you how to get the resources to make that possible and these people know how to do this and it is funny for something youth radio this is i think of a National Presence you hear the reports on p pr and have this kind of standing but the fact theyve not done a lot in San Francisco their city of oakland and theyll anytime a little bit parochial crossing the bridge but thats it.

For more information, visit the civil grand jury website at sfgov. Org courts or c i have 2 job titles. Im manager of the tour program as well as i am the historyian of city hall. This building is multifaceted to say the very least its a Municipal Building that operates the city and county of San Francisco. This building was a dream that became a reality of a man by the name of james junior elected mayor of San Francisco in 1912. He didnt have a city hall because it was destroyed in the earth wake of 1906. Construction began in april of 1913. In december 1915, the building was complete. It opened its doors in january 1916. Its a wonderful experience to come to a building built like this. The building is built as a palace. Not for a king or queen. Its built for all people. This building is beautiful art. Those are architecture at the time when city hall was built, San Francisco had an enormous french population. Therefore building a palace in the art tradition is not unusual. Jimmie was an incredible individual he knew that San Francisco had to regain its place in the world. He decided to have the tallest dome built in the United States. Its now stands 307 feet 6 inches from the ground 40 feet taller than the United States capital. You could spend days going around the building and finding something new. The embellishment, the carvings, it represents commerce, navigation, all of the things that San Francisco is famous for. The wood you see in the board of supervisors chambers is oak and all hand carved on site. Interesting thing about the oak is there isnt anymore in the entire world. The floors in china was cleard and never replanted. If you look up at the seceiling you would believe thats hand kof carved out of wood and it is a cast plaster sealing and the only spanish design in an arts building. There are no records about how many people worked on this building. The workman who worked on this building did not all speak the same language. And what happened was the person working next to the other person respected a skill a skill that was so wonderful that we have this masterpiece to show the world today. Selfplanning works to preserve and enhance the city what kind hispanic the environment in a variety of ways overhead plans to fwied other departments to open space and land use an urban design and a variety of other matters related to the physical urban Environment Planning projects include implementing code change or designing plaza or parks projects can be broad as proipd on overhead neighborhood planning effort typically include public involvement depending on the subject a new lot or effect or be active in the final process lots of people are troubled by theyre moving loss of theyre of what we preserve to be theyre moving mid block or rear yard open space.
