much. >> i just wanted to thank tidwell, melara, and leigh, and really, thank you for taking the time to pull all lavar reports together -- pull all of our reports together. mr. mcdonnell: thank you very much. it moving again, item number six. a press conference. based on lots of discussion and exploration with the city attorney around options, they are fairly limited in that while we do want to find a suitable, formal moment of issuing of the report, the problem is if we do

it collectively, that it constitutes a meeting. once it constitutes a meeting, we are back where we started again. so our options are, a, we hold a press conference with less than a quorum present, which therefore does not constitute a meeting and we issue it, or to report its issued and a less public, less formal, less visible way and just gets distributed to committee and habitants. discussion? >> i have a suggestion. i suggest we hold a press conference with share mcdonnell and vice chair lam, and maybe a couple other task force members

would be willing to participate in that so we would have at least a public presentation of the final map and the result. mr. mcdonnell: thank you. mr. alonso: or perhaps we could have john did a press conference on his own, provided he has time, since he is not an official member of the task force. mr. mcdonnell: okay, and obviously we would have to explore that with him. we cannot commit him at this moment. atmr. lee: i do think it is important, in whatever way, to get the word out quickly, based on the same issues that member pilpel reyes, there are a number of implications that will move quis in our interest and the city's interest for people to know what they're voting, when they did not expect to b voting, and vice versa, not to mention all of the other political activity. i think a press conference would be good.

i am find myself with not attending the press conference, but i think we need to do whatever we can to spread the word quickly and widely. ms. mondejar: i'm not really sure bridget ms. melara: i agree this information has to get out to the media and as many people as possible, as soon as possible. by tomorrow, this will be old news, so a press conference is probably it less than effective. it is more trying to get the information out. mr. mcdonnell: thank you. any other comments? i wouldn't say whether it is a press conference or not, the idea is it is a moment of idea distribution. i don't want to get caught up on the language of "press." mr. pilpel: perhaps since we have issued press releases

before, if we could just issue a short release saying that we have adopted this matter and report, distribute that to anyone we could think of it as a beginning, we certainly have seen some coverage today. i don't know of the board of supervisors would want you to make a short presentation at a meeting on tuesday, to just say, is there, something along those lines. mr. mcdonnell: okay, thank you. mr. alonso: the press is out there, so we could just run out in the next five minutes? mr. mcdonnell: nice. we have one proposal on a press conference with less than a quorum, at a conference at event. mr. alonso: no. ms. lamms. leigh: yes.

ms. mondejar: yes. mr. pilpel: yes. mr. schreiber: yes. ms. tidwell: yes. mr. mcdonnell: thank you so much. we will move forward with planning and event of some sort, less than a quorum, to be determined how and when. any public comment on the press conference item? thank you so much. item number 7, task force budget. ms. lam: there are no additional reporting, just a recap from the last budget. we are anticipating a net balance of " approximately $8800 related to the outreach and consultants. at minimum, we would have that balance if not more. mr. mcdonnell: any questions? mr. pilpel: consistent with the comment a while back, some funds

existing, and consistent with the admen codes, could we arrange to. a small number of reports, in addition to having a pdf available on the website for download and printing? mr. mcdonnell: yes, thank you. ok, any other questions? any public comment on budget? thank you so much. moving to item number eight, general public comment. on non-agenda items. ok. excellent. just before we adjourn, ms tidwell? ms. tidwell: sorry, yes. just on behalf of the task force, i think we were all very grateful that kay decided to come out of retirement to help

us. [appluse] we all think she has been very instrumental in the insured its posted, getting us public, as quickly as possible, posting the draft maps, and we really would not have been able to do it, stayingwe appreciate all the hef the people who have supported us, but i think you were really a crucial member to our team. we just want to say thank you. >> i will not be back in ten years. >> one last word then if i may. last kind of prerogative of the chair. again, it's been really a plesh

working with each of you as i commented a moment ago there were many who expected this to turn into some kind of political fight of progressives and moderates and everybody in between on opposite sides and it did not materialize because we didn't allow it to materialize. so i really appreciate each of you for that. and again, to kay and -- who was everywhere all the time which was just incredible and we appreciate that, to the city attorney's office, just incredible support, always available and always supporting us nudging us when we were getting too close to boundries in any respect. and our consultants have provided both technical assistance and advice and often led us when we weren't sure where we were going. so i really appreciate that. so to that end, kind of my own.

one of the things that we subscribe to at united way where i serve by day which i now get to return to my day job as chief operating officer of united way, is we talk about living united. that that's what we try to instill and catalyze in our communities. everyone owning and being trustees of community and i feel like this task force and all that have supported have done the same. so to that end i have for the q 2 team united t-shirts. i have for the city attorneys team live united t-shirt. and for each of the task force members. and we have coffee mugs. so i will be giving those out to you as you depart. so with that, and again with a deep sense of gratitude and appreciation both for all the time we spent together and for the fact that this is the last time we spend this time together, we adjourn.
