Well take that out objection and to move item 3 to the full board to the december 8th board meeting. Motion to that effect . So moved motion by supervisor tang, take that without objection. [ gavel ]. Colleagues all right all all item no. 4, take those without objection and underlying to separate send it forward with full recommendation to the board for the december 8th meeting. So moved. Motion by supervisor tang. Mr. Malamut. City attorneys office, i prepared language to address the budget analysts recommendation. I could read that into the record. Item no. 1 . Im sorry, all item no. 2. Recommendation no. 1 in regard to agenda item no. 2, i could read into the record a proposal, but it would require rescinding that vote on item 2 and rehearing it if you think the item is acceptable. Sure, i just want to make sure its something had that were voting on today. Yes. Happy to do so, colleagues motion to rescind the moment so moved. Thank you. This is again your agenda item no. 2. At the end of the existing language this is entitled environmental findings. We would add the language, in that action, and this referring to the ceqa findings the first item on your agenda. That action the board recognized that the commission on Community Investment and infrastructure ocii on november 3, 2015 approved resolution 702015 which adopted california Environment Quality act findings. And including a statement of overriding considerations, and mp research and Planning Program as required by law. As part of the ocii approval of the resolution and other proval actions related to the Golden State Warriors event center and mixeduse district c pretty sured as conditions of approval, those aspects of mitigation measures and concerning transportation impacts in the mp research and p mitigation monitoring and reporting plan and this essentially recognizes the two mitigation measures and indicates that they have been imposed as conditions on the project by the commission on Community Investment and infrastructure. Thank you, i just wanted to clarify the reason we put this recommendation in and im willing to ask what the City Attorney says is that none of the documents we saw did it explicitly say that if there wasnt sufficient money for the mta to implement all of the transit measures that are being considered by this legislation, it never explicitly that the warriors are responsible for the list of measures. We understand it was in ceqa and we understand it was in the mitigation measures and in the ocii, but it was never stated explicitly that if the revenues fall short that that is what the warriors are going to be doing. So i will defer to the City Attorney on this one, but i think its a really key point on why we made the recommendation. Thank you. I think you will find agreement on this entire panel and the full board. Assuming that your language satisfis that concern, i think that is something i would certainly support. So at this point, colleagues unless questions, entertain a motion to accept that language into item no. 2. So moved. Motion by supervisor mar, take without objection [ gavel ] colleagues we have to revote on item 2 as amended to forward in item to the full board for recommendation to thedecember 8th board of supervisors meeting. So moved. Motion by supervisor tang without objection. Madame clerk, do we have any other action. Item 4 was also amended it was also recommended to the full board to thedecember 8th 8th meeting.

The watermelon enterprise was similar the reduction in revenues and reduction in uses. As i mentioned things for the power enterprise look good and on time with the budget a number of restriction radio i reduction uses for the power enterprise and finally were meeting all the minimal metrics health commissions. No problems or concerns. I think were staying on top of the budget process and get through the winter were going to see what the hydrologic situation looked like the questions will what the sate is going to do in response to the winter and sxhefrment for the demand for wastewater thats one of the final questions.
