to

discussion.
I
know
I
have
councilmember
yang
has
a
comment.
I.
D
D
C
A
B
C
B
C
A
So
this
is
is
not
related
to
the
budget
action
we
took
for
high-rise
related
to
the
communications,
the
newsletters
and
things
like
that,
we're
doing
with
them
right.
This
is
an
outside
contract
funded
by
ship
correct,
and
what
would
they
be
providing?
Do
you
know
what
services
that
were
there
asking.
C
D
Mr.
chair
I
mean
the
reason
why
I
ask
is
that
as
I
recall,
the
fifty
thousand
dollars
that
we
allocated
to
Minister
the
high-rise
representative
council
was
much
more
security
measure
than
anything,
and
so
it
you
know
in
to
seem
unusual
to
me,
but
I'm
going
to
do
some
background
research
on
it
and
trying
to
figure
out
what
the
situation
is.
Okay,
thank.
C
A
So
it's
outside
of
the
security
measures
that
were
taken
through
our
regular
process.
This
is
separate
from
that,
but
we'll
we'll
look
into
that
and
have
those
answers
addressed
offline,
but
I
think
we'll
be
able
to
move
this
item
forward
for
today's
actions
that
correct.
Thank
you
as
a
general.
Thank
you
very
much.
Mr.
Smith,
hello,
you're
joining
us
and
we'll
get
some
more
detail.
Tell
address
mr.
A
councilmember
Yang's
issue
any
other
questions
or
comments
on
those
consent
items
all
those
in
favor
of
those
items
please
signify
by
saying
aye
aye
and
opposed
those
items
carried
forward.
Now
we
have
two
public
hearings
today
and
I'm
going
to
ask

Gang
Thank.
D
A
It's
typically
I,
don't
think
that
they
would
those
offers
are
always
extended.
These
are
excuse
me,
relatively
perfunctory
kind
of
actions
that
we
take
in
these
reappointments,
but
when
one
of
those
commissioners
finds
the
time
to
come
at
like
to
highlight
that,
as
opposed
to
blame,
the
other
person
for
not
attend
sure.
