Getting invested because we know what it is like to learn and what the best ways to learn are and if you are invested you are going to remember that information so that in the future all of these youth interns that might be working at the puc and some of us might be commissioners and hopefully that they get invested in what we are doing here because it is our future and we want to make sure that we are making take of ourselves. Did you have Something Else to add . Well, in addition to that, we do have speakers that come down, people who are executive floor and other floors, that do come down and tell us what it is like to get to where they are today. And we do that to also remind people that you can do whatever you want if you put your mind to it. And natalie and i, we would like to thank you guys so much for this great opportunity. And it is such an Interactive Community to where you can get to talk to people one on one and get to know their ideas and what they are thinking and just t
To this . How will you cobble together your budget in the future to that would be part of costs of operating so we will make adjustments to the grant. We will look at amortizing that over a lot of Funding Sources. We anticipate, because we get a lot of different grants, that the 2,000 a month amortized overall of the Funding Sources will be very small. So there wont be any impact on programs at the department. You mentioned you are required to have some lead certification in your construction and building in your furniture. Where do those come from, are they actually mandates or things that you aspire to do . That is part of the environment code. All municipal projects as of 2011 are required to be lead gold. Those are city requirements, that all are required to follow. We actually have a lead consultant, simon and associates that guides us through the lead process and helps us figure out where we can get points while we are doing the value engineering. Simon and associates i believe w
Construction. If this doesnt pass what will the department of environment do . We would have to go back to the drawing board. We would have to look at where we could shave off in terms of Architectural Design. The problem of course is right now the design is approved, at m. O. D. , there are permit costs. If we make significant changes, we would rack up additional costs in Architectural Design and resubmit. There are financial implications for not getting the money today and having to try to change what the plan is. Just a question about your campaign you have raised in donations for this upwards of tenant improvements. What was the total amount . What we have raised to date we have been pursuing two streams of support. One is inkind. Those are companies that can offer us a deep discount for products or services or provide them out and out donated. We originally secured 51,089 in inkind support that. Is where ive been putting lot of my focus. That is discounted tiles, discounted carpet
Come down and tell us what it is like to get to where they are today. And we do that to also remind people that you can do whatever you want if you put your mind to it. And natalie and i, we would like to thank you guys so much for this great opportunity. And it is such an Interactive Community to where you can get to talk to people one on one and get to know their ideas and what they are thinking and just to see them smile makes a smile. So if you come back to if you have any role in the future, what is a job that you would like to have . Since you are in college right now, why dont you answer that. Go ahead. Well i am a bio major. So probably a commissioner if i could get there i am a bio major. And so you need to see me. I want to put you in touch with my stem cell agency. Well the states stem cell agency. Sure. You might give me a call. All right. That is the kind of thing that we, that our mentors teach us and that we have the speakers who are just like networking and how maybe di
I dont remember seeing cost of that incorporated. Is that something they will have other sources of funding for . Just an underlying assumption of the project, which is the approach wed like to take. An integrated approach to delivering the project. That is good to know. I think it would be good, since you bring all the leases before us, to articulate that as part of the costs so we have a better understanding. I think ovener it is a good policy. I appreciate it. I want an idea of the cost. Im not saying it is not a good way to invest city funds in the way of Good Environmental policies but i want a sense of the larger impact of that throughout the city, thank you. Mr. Chairman. Mr. Chairman, members of the committee. A clarification. Page five of our report, table 3, we show the improvements the funding for the tenant improvements the department has identified we list 1,502,571 as the landlords contribution to tenant improvements. Just to clarify that language. I know the supervisors
