list kaushik roy of shanti. i would add that name. and also michelle alcedo. >> chair kim: two more names, i think were actually getting close to 15 and i have to count. but id like to add into the consideration scott hits you cana. we dont necessarily appointed this many people at a time. usually we do staggered terms but because this is a creation of a new task force that makes it a little more challenging. >> i think i have 15. >> chair kim: yeah. so we do have 15 applicants before ...

i think would be a great addition to this task force and would do a great job. but we only have 15 seats so i hope that those of you who, for whatever reason, youre not selected, that you will still be able to be involved, because the fact that youre not an official member of the task force doesnt mean that you cannot be a part of the process, and you cannot add your talents and your expertise. so i hope that whatever happens today that whoever doesnt get on, will continue to be involv...

i appreciate, chair kim, your opinion on this. i dont think we need to do a procedural motion over motion but that is something i would support and would recommend here. >> chair kim: thank you. we do have a motion to move forward on bruce wolfe with recommendation to the full board. i know that we actually previously had recommended bruce wolfe to the full board and i was one of the members who supported bruce. there was concern i had with the sunshine task force around the city chart...
