We also recommend closing out prior year expended encumbrances and those recommendations in 1415 would result in general fund savings of 363,746. Our recommended reduction to the proposed budget t...

But you have known Vernon Hawkins for years. Where would they feel they have the authority to do this . I dont know. Im sure there were people that did all kinds of things. For his cooperation, Jeff Thompson could be looking at only six months in jail. Prosecutors now bring a case against the mayor . Are todays developments a game changer in the race for d. C. Mayor .

Commissioner lee, why dont you ask your question . There is not so much a question, but a comment that i want to make. After the last meeting, i submitted my comments to them to give to mr. Shrine and i have a conversation with him about my comments because i had a little trouble of saying either we disagree or we agree. And it is sort of like black or white and it is really not that, it is more like this is what our department wants to do and what they want to do to move towards a certain goal....

Senior management ignoring bogus signatures, forged signatures of licensed professionals on submitted plans, each document as you probably know, comprises separate felony counts. And Senior Management round filing complaints for work done without permits and tipping contractors to clear off the job when inspect ors finally make the visit. And if this commission is truly managing the department, and the department you might, in the field inspect ors from outside of the area prohibit, the Senior M...

And specifically, in our report, and i worked on this, we reviewed all notices of violation, for the years 2008, 2009, 2010, we did not do a sample. We reviewed all 8,875 notices of violation. 766 of those in those two years went to a directors hearing, and only 62 percent were abaited. That means that the process is 38 percent ineffective. And the report that we mentioned that 11 percent of the nlvs this is all of them, we reviewed were never closed out. And the rate for the building electrical...

Either we disagree or we agree. And it is sort of like black or white and it is really not that, it is more like this is what our department wants to do and what they want to do to move towards a certain goal. And so i left it up to him and i say, why dont you put my words into either i agree or disagree, because i cant do it myself. So from what i read here, it is consistent with what the department and what the bic wants to do but if we are hung up on whether we disagree or agree with the gran...

Of photographs signed by a licensed professional that show the existing condition. Finally based on my experience, you must hire a new director from outside of your own department. By selecting no senior managers at the root of the 15 percent problem. Thank you. Thank you. Next speaker, please .

Page 2, there is a comment responding to the 2007 business process reengineering study that was done as you know, six years, there were over 180 specific recommendations. Saying that 25 of them were fully implemented six years later, is indicative of the problem. And i would like to make another comment. And this is the one that is particularly upsetting to me. On page 9. The department partially disagrees. It would be helpful if the specific area of disagreement was enumber rated with the grand...
