Ask mr. Updike which is what is the cost to the city if we dont do this . Is it possible there is another alternative plan for us that maybe more parsimonious . Thank you supervisor christensen. On the overhead i indicated some of the impacts to delay. We have 1 million in sunk costs related to the ceqa process which in the determination of public works is not transferable to a new site so that is specific to this site that is lost but more importantly is the escalation costs of the construction project.

That was in 2010 so we didnt put the crime lab into that bond, that Public Safety bond in that year so we did in the following iteration which was last year. I think the process for this it makes mow really me really uncomfortable and the order and the appraisal and the lease, the Purchase Option agreement, that order of things done and the appraisal done and things done prospectively what the price could be years from now from the out set of the lease. It doesnt makence to have a up or down vote on and i am uncomfortable voting on this but i know there was a lot of work to put this together according to the cap tap plan according to have a new crime lab facility.

Guess the concern about the 4 million is somewhat balanced by the question i would like to ask mr. Updike which is what is the cost to the city if we dont do this .
