Its city property. And as far as the type of paint we use, we dont use aerosol paint. We dont use solvents or thinners or anything like that.

And you have every right to be concerned about that, because you could cause a violent reaction. From the wrong person. Im not saying that every person who is involved in graffiti vandalism i...

Take the mic, walk it over. Tagging is tagging. If youre set for work release or work service, community service, [speaker not understood]. Now, our when were doing a lot of volunteers, we had to go with it because we had a nonprofit to clean up. When they did our clean up, they were actually reformed gangsters themselves. They had opened a nonprofit and they were doing paint overs. They were pretty astute at assessing the juveniles and assessing the areas they were in. What weve done since then...

When they tried to get them involved in the mural program. I think the one suggestion i might have for you is you start documenting the number of times that youre actually painting out there box and you start generating a bill along with a letter and send it to them. I think thats probably your best strategy so you can show the amount of cost that youre actually spending abating something thats theirs.

What we consider the proper supervision to go out to be able to assess the environment and the young gangsters that go out on the paint crew, they respect the old veterans even if theyve gotten reformed. They dont so much respect the city work [speaker not understood]. Thats how it worked with us. Okay, anybody else up there want to comment on that . Im going to run over here because its over here.

Alternative vehicles. Its time for us to have a home that all of us can be proud of. And we couldnt do this without everybody working together on the one goal, which is, lets build something that reflects the honor of hetch hetchy, the honor of the greatest engineering feats, reflects what our puc does for our public, and for generations to come it will educate everybody. Im really proud that one of the greenest and most sustainable buildings is here in norm in district 6. The wind turbine, the ...

Part of town that sets a lot of sunshine and typically the size of a roof that works for a about a 500,000 installation. The advantage of these installations is that they install it for free. They maintain it for 25 years and we get the power in the school at exactly the same rate we would pay if it came across a wire from hetch hetchy, so its sort of the universal winwin of going green. Now, on the flip side were also doing some of our own installations so were trying both. We have just finishe...
