Thank you very much thank you, very much. Richard. Sorry i meant the other richard. I have something to ask of the Commission Im trying to help facilitate a request from dr. Michael lee he is given the commissions a copy of his request theres something theyve gotten completed and i talked with michael about this we were talking about percy the kind of person that goes up there and simply telephone rp d and the lights will be fixed they were too high we had them brought down lower this is a followup that percy passed away on 4th of july that was a conversation with Michael California we do about the lights currently some of the problems that are occurring michael told me the staff people are not that interested in extra hours theyre not going to be there the extra hour but the facility often doesnt have me staff so if you had that extra hour i myself will enforce having that done as michael said other people that have another timelines and time schedules to continue to work out basketball and tennis along with not many kids come out at night that has been going on for a little while now if i can help dr. Lee maybe some of you like to know more about his background he works very active at the chinese rec center and trying to get him to betty honking Recreation Center hes very good extraordinary informed of whats going on in the community actively a rec and park kind of person endorses activities in chinatown they dont have enough tennis tournament the fellow was richard king theyve gone out to San FranciscoState University so not much of the organized activities required im asking that i personally will recommend this the center hour it is not going to cost staff time and all the department has to do is exclude a memo to the electrician to work the timer an additional hour thank you.
