Questions. Is there any Public Comment . Commissioners is there any comment. I have a comment i am happy that you get your ppa letter from planning and i like how you are lining up your ducks there, and especially with the other two lots, and they are all going to come under the same Environmental Review and that is the real smart way of doing it. And otherwise, you have environmental done for one and you end up having to do and start the other one three years from now which drags everything out...

Moderation like that. This wonderful nation. But more or less this is america, so safe. That situation has completed changed. [inaudible] so thank you all. We and they is actually unrealistic. So we must think entire 7 billion human beings, we must consider. That is my honest belief. So no problem. As a politician [laughter] or that you see, a little bit of insane person. Still same person, human being. [laughter] clear . Clear. So the main purpose, you see, we have to sort of look seriously abo...

Odds or which day in which week is probably not helpful that i think everybody understands that if it tracks out to long but the political calendar can start working again. Sonata tomorrow is what youre saying. Moving on the problem is we are getting all of that to the competitors. Very good. We will read that in the National Journal leader. [laughter] just kidding. I want to talk a little bit about the James Burling experience with lighted up the gst is a little bit and we were talking backstag...

And job growth go hand in hand and ive seen it in my own experience. And so i want to begin today with a statement of the obvious. That the United States faces a massive infrastructure deficit. And if this deficit is not addressed, it will stunt the recovery weve begun and cripple our economy. Now, i dont want to tell the people in the room how big this infrastructure deficit is. Youre moving goods around america all the time and the people that work in your businesses need efficient ways to get...

Position that you would like to be, secretary hale, to have the data that youve just talked about. What are the controls that will be in place for taxpayers on this huge contract . It is important. It is going to under as i understand it, it will impact the Health Records for all of our men and women in uniform. We had notable examples of failed i. T. Projects and this is an 11 billion project. What controls will be put in place as you go forward with this echo and i guess, a good question is wi...

Going to be working very closely with the forest city engineers to develop that infrastructure plan and coordinate with the other city departments like the San Francisco Public Utilities commission and the department of public works. So, we are trying to get an Interdisciplinary Team from across the city to really focus on how we build this new neighborhood. And so that, and in closing. I mentioned the exclusive negotiating agreement earlier. And we do intend to come back to you with a proposal ...

Organizations are actually having it for the wage applied to that work. That they are not under cutting other department whens it comes to those, and i mean, that it is. And it is not so hungry for the jobs, like we were three or four years ago. So now, we get to be a little more selective about who is doing that work. So hopefully we will be able to have it. Definitely. So one more thing that i would just throw out there is that the department of public works was or is responsible for some tree...

Doing in advance, paid off for us and so the system is working out fairly well. And it is an interesting year all the way around. That is the 207. We are at the level of the year, 2007. That is that blue line there, and that was, what was, a relatively dry year, but we have caught up with that now, so that you know, the trail up not to be the worst year on record but it is, actually you know, who knows we could catch up to the green line if something strange happens out there. No snowpack. Total...

Access to the base i think is what you said. The concern that i have sometimes, and it is not all that, when you are talking about a nonprofit and it has the people that work for it that do the tree stuff. And there is the wages and there is benches and there is healthcare. I used it and now i understand it.
