I feel that i have the experience in history to continue to work with the challenges in support of kids and families within the city and county. First five is really essential to our city, not only to support children and families in their services but through various programs and platforms such as the frcs that we work diligently...

[inaudible]. I also did like hearing from ms. Hall and her experience and i absolutely agree with supervisor avalos and that it could be a great forum for her to learn about how funding decisions are made and how it is that we can better bridge sources to communities that need it. In termser of looking at what this committee does, i know that a lot of the decisions that are made has to do around funding and how you allocate grants, so i do see how mr.

Position. When the board of supervisors created the position they put restrictions on what i could work on and do. If the board of supervisors would simply lift the restrictions i could do all of the items that the executive officer currently does.

Not necessarily of any commission but the work that this commission does and do all of th...

I just want to make sure that we have that discussion, so with that i will open it up to my colleagues. Commissioner avalos. Thank you chair campos. I would like to see it brought in house and i think a process for going through that. I think its important that when we have a position open up and go through a search as part of it. I think thats just the process i feel most comfortable with overall all, but thats the i talked about that a lot last year when we had major openings in the mta, in ot...

Promising and realizing for reasons for saving the planet and economics that we must do this local build out. Its not really something that we can debate. We need so whatever you do with these positions we would hope that you still end up with two positions and one position could be carefully dedicated to somebody with a lot of expertise on local distributive renewable and generation and efficiency so they can help us dive in with sf puc and make sure were getting the sf puc hour enterprise to p...

The commission with that and if it is the case there is no expeditious way to do that and the only way is to actually go through the more formal process of requesting the consolidation of positions and a new position is created at least we will know that. Mr. Fried, ms. Miller do you want to add anything to that . Okay. Why dont we open it up to Public Comment. Good afternoon again commissioners. Eric brook representing San Francisco green party and the local organization our city. First a techn...

Program position, take away some of the restrictions so that position could be used to fill in the executive officer position, so those are the two options, and i personally think that we should pursue bringing the position in house. I also believe that we have very capable staff that can step into that but i also want to make sure that we have this discussion, and that we have a discussion not only about the outcome, but the process that we want to follow because thats very important, and it ma...

Maybe i am wrong on that but good to make sure youre correct on that from the staffs perspective. I agree bringing it back in house because the next year is going to be really big for clean power sf and some other things and we need somebody that can be available five days a week, 50 weeks a year.
