Withdrawn. The numbers over the years have gone down a built by it in terms of volume and jurisdiction requests. Looking on page 23, geographic distribution, not much changed there over the years. You can see in red, those are all the address points of the permits that were issued to properties at those addresses. So its the northeast quadrant. I just want to touch quickly on 24 on the appeals Management System. Its been really great. Its a significant improvement. Its unbelievable. I feel like we are in the 21st century compared to what we had before. And i think its really incredible in terms of reporting capabilities. Our old system, we had to export everything from our system through access and then cobble the numbers in compel. There was a lot of room for error so this is going to be more accurate data. We saw a number of very large sunshine requests, like even for this recent case, they wanted to know all the d. B. I. Revocations so ms. Sullivan did an excellent job going through everything. But our new system really helped us go back and see which departments we can easily run a number of different types of reports, anything, really, with sales force, you just add different parameters. So it also helped us with the sunshine request for the wireless cases, the civil grand jury asked for all our wireless cases. And no problem, we could whip that out very quickly. And so thats great. What im very happy about, the new system is that it creates agendas. So our old systems did not have the capability. So it was actually manually, every time a case was rescheduled, someone had a cut and paste from one word document and put it on another and that was gather, and he was absolutely fantastic. And when he left i was saying how did he do this . Because i was doing it and making mistakes. But the new system, unless you dont enter in the system, this wouldnt happen. Its just great. So it keeps track of all the cases. The system does that. Well have the ability in the future to we are going to be able to integrate with the treasure collector which is another great feature so we can take payments online and at the kiosk at the new permit center. So we wont even have to handle money anymore, which is great. So i feel like we are a built oldfashioned now. We only take cash or check and one of my Staff Members walks up to city hall once a week to make that deposit. So this system will really help us. I think once we move, we are going to have that capability in place. Just moving forward and moving along to the budget, page 27, of course ill do a thorough budget presentation in february. But this is looking back. And we had a pretty good year. I think we were worried. Our projected revenue our actual revenue was below our projected revenue. But our expenditures were less than our projected expenditures. But if you turn on page the next page, 29, it gives a breakdown of where our money goes. But we did use money from the reserve account if you look at the table at the bottom. Because we did make one payment on our new appeals Management System of 38,000. Obviously it costs more than that. We made subsequence payments and those will be reflected in fiscal year, the next fiscal year. But our reserves will be adjusted based on our revenue surplus or deficit. So there will be an accounting toward the end of this year. And then on page 30, after extensive analysis by the Controllers Office, they only suggested that we increase the surcharge by 50 cents for planning and d. B. I. This is for fiscal year 20. For d. P. H. To 4450. And just as a recap, most of our income comes from surcharges, about 95 percent. Every year the controller does a calculation, should we raise or lower them, and we did have a significant reserve account so the whole purpose of the fee is to be Cost Recovery for the boards expenses so since we had a large reserve, the thinking was we need to reduce it because we are overcharging the public if we have such a large reserve. So that will go down. I mean, we took money out of our reserve this well, last fiscal year to cover shortfall. And then just 58,000 this year. And we have the other payments for the appeals Management System. But i made this comment last year. I think the year before. I disagree with living on reserves. And with the reduction, its simply the reduction in fees related to telephone, you know, the telephone installation appeals that we wont get this year is going to have a financial impact. And i think that well, okay. Go ahead. Yeah. So and also if there is a building slowdown because there is a projected this boom has to stop sooner or later, and it seems it may be on the horizon, although people have been saying that for five years. I think we should be very cautious about continuing the practice of eating away our reserves. Because ultimately, we are going to have to raise our fees astronomically, and people are going to say you just raised your fees 15 percent because we had to when we should have been gradually raising them. I anticipate that day when its a paradigm shift. I completely agree with you. I argued long and hard with the Controllers Office. I had the manager involved with our analyst and this is the end result. And they werent changing it. The good news is it hasnt been reduced that much. Its been reduced some. But yeah, i agree with you. Im more in line with your thinking. But ultimately, at the end of the day, i cant make that call. The Controllers Office does. I have to make the same, because i got to go on the record. I hope that you bring my comments to the controller and to the people who are giving you that feedback that we are spending on borrowed continuing to borrow money, really, thats what you do when you are eating into reserves and ultimately we are going to run out if we continue to do that. And murphys law, perfect storm, thats when the bottom falls out and we go into deficit. And i think its a very, very illadvised practice. And 50 cents cents isnt going to break anybody, one dollar, two dollars, three dollars, it was 10, 15, 20, it would be a different story. But we are not a little bit more is fully appropriate. Especially with the increases in Construction Costs and the overall project costs that we are all planning on. So thats it. I dont want to stay too late. Thank you. So at the end is the litigation report. We do have new lawsuits filed against the city. So you are familiar with those cases. And we have other pending decisions. But let me know if you have any questions about the report. We do need to vote on whether to adopt or approve it. And i forget, because i read it and wasnt looking at me did you put in the document that we made a special request to the board of supervisors . Yes, i did. Its in there . Its in there, yes.
