public comment is closed. this is an action item. is this the final vote? >> this is actually the first -- should we leave it as is? commissioner campos: i think it is important to highlight its. it might catch the eye and be more interested -- it might be helpful. >> we have a section called "what's new." i will put it there. commissioner campos: if we can have a motion to except the 2012-2013 lafco budget?

seconded by commissioner schmeltzer. can we take that without objection? done. call item number six. >> authorization to amend the agreement with miller and dolan to extend the term to june 30, 2013. >> fason fried, lafco staff one more time. the contract for miss miller's services will be expiring. this is a continuation of her contract. for whatever reason, the contract has gotten off of the calendar or budget cycle. staff is recommending that instead of extending it for one year and have it, and not point in time, we are recommending that we extend it through the end of next fiscal year that will mean that contract will be a 16-month contract in total. over that 16 months, over the

last year, we spent $88,000. most of it has come out of the cca fund for her legal services. we're asking and the contract itself is for 125,000. we're asking to keep it under $125,000, continue that and added into the system. for 16 months, we will need a little bit more. it should work out a budget early -- budgetarily for us. commissioner campos: i did think it was important to make sure that the contract are based on the fiscal year. i think for purposes of accounting and budgeting, it makes more sense. that is the reason we are doing it this way. commissioner schmeltzer?

commissioner schmeltzer: thank you. again, now that we have worked with miss miller for a number of years, first in her role as providing legal counsel, the prior executive officer in the interim position that i think she has held for three years, i think she has done a very good job, a very capable java. >> i will definitely agree with that. one thing that i appreciate about miss miller aside from the expertise is that she is very mindful of the fact that we want her to be efficient. we are certainly very appreciative of that. why don't we open it up for public comment.

seconded by commissioner mar. without objection. call item seven? >> authorization to amend the agreement with the dalessi management consulting, to extend the term to june 30, 2013. >> this is another contract that has come up and expired. sfpuc utilizes him with the model. the expertise is definitely well worth it. the initial amount by $25,000 over the course of the last year -- we want to extend it

through the fiscal year the same we did with ms. miller's contract. we're looking at full budgets and everything else with it. but we are not going to look to extend any extra money than what has already been allocated. we do need him, it is good to have his services available. the sfpuc has asked to bar him, so out of cooperation, we have authorized that. commissioner campos: why don't we open it up for public comment? any member of the public that would like to speak on this item? public comment is closed. motion by commissioner avalos, seconded by commissioner schmeltzer. without objection. thank you. call item eight? >> public comment.

was because of the dubious attempt earthlink and google to take over wireless internet services in san francisco as a private monopoly, a duopoly thing. right now, we are doing a lot of work on community choice. as soon as that work gets done, based on what we are getting from the fcc, even under obama, we have moves by a very massive corporations to take control of the internet. advocates that have been working on that are pretty afraid that if we don't move soon to set up a public broadband system in san francisco that covers the entire city, we will get preempted from doing that by corporate takeover. as soon as we get community choice put to bed, we need to

jump on that right away. commissioner olague, i wanted to make sure you got that message. commissioner campos: any other member of the public that would like to speak? public comment is closed. >> item nine, future agenda items. commissioner campos: colleagues, this is an opportunity to discuss or introduce any other item that you would like for lafco to consider as we move forward. why don't we open it up for public comment. seeing none, public comment is closed. item ten. >> adjournment. commissioner campos: meeting adjourned, and i want to take this opportunity to wish a happy birthday to commissioner pimentel. she makes me feel very old and we wish her a very happy birthday with her family and the

>> the question when i started 11 years ago when i started

doing resolution work is can anything be presented on a really low resolution device where it is potentially a digital image? can anything be presented that way? or will it feel cold and electronic? >> the imagery will change. there will be four different sets. it is a two dimensional image. it is stretched out into three dimensions. the device is part of the experience. you cannot experience the image without the device as being part of what you are seeing. whereas with the tv you end up

ignoring it. i make gallery work more self and budget and public art work where i have to drop this of indulgence and think about how people will respond. and one of the things i was interested in the work and also a little fearful of, it is not until you get to the first and second floor were the work is recognizable as an image. it is an exploration and perception is what it is. what are you seeing when you look at this image? one of the things that happens with really low resolution images like this one is you never get the details, so it is always kind of pulling you in

kind of thing. you can keep watching it. i think this work is kind of experience in a more analytical way. in other words, we look at an image and there is an alice going on. -- and there is an analysis going on.
