Go out and then the commission have a responsibility they give us the responsibility, you know, to appropriate money. The mayor put out so much money to certain nonprofits. The supervisors approve of it and then we, the commission, still have to approve. I will caution that the mayor and the board are not allowed, nor do they give money to particular nonprofits. There is an entire bidding process. Money is allocated by those two entities to departments but then there is a bidding process that goes on and i would just add to what i said about the contracting process. The Controllers Office as well reviews the work that we do in our contracting and Programming Office to make sure we meet the standards that the city has set for contracting and there actually have been changes in the 9 1 2 years i have been here. I have actually seen some changes in the way we do business to more and more just really tighten up and make sure that everyones really meeting the letter of the law on that, but
Through Community Health fairs that we will jointly do with cal fresh, with gph, and with the california extension. These are part of the plan that we have proposed and of course there is Performance Measures we will be measuring with nutrition as well as the Tai Chi Program as part of the evaluation plan. Those are detailed in the document that is shared with you. Is there any questions before i go through the budget . Yes. Commissioner. Thank you for that summary and its certainly a very worthwhile program. One question that is regarding the estimated target audience, is there any way that we can get participants to selfidentify if they are comfortable regarding their Sexual Orientation or gender identity .

Itani and commissioner hinton came to the meeting. It can be more but we said at least one meeting, okay . I think that was the consensus of the committee and we did have the input of director anne in to discuss the budget process and how it goes. So, with that, any commissioner. You are talking about the public allow to attend the Budget Committee meeting. Yes, yes. We said at least once per year. And we just said if they wanted to meet more often, they could, but at least have it in the bylaws. It wouldnt restrict them to one but they could have more if it was necessary but we wanted to have one Public Meeting and we had an open discussion here about the finances and i think it was the consensus that they could meet once a year. I have a question. Who determines or what process determines more than one meeting . That would be up to the committee, the three members of the committee.
