environment. we look for diversity and a professional background that can address a lot of the issues. i'll be making a motion to appoint peter for the second seat >> thank you colleagues any objections? thank you. and now comes the tricky part of the two expired at large seats. there's jonathan goldberg and he was here and has been serving for several years now. mr. fong >> and this lady has a case in sacramento so she sent her apologizes but expressed an

interest to continue to serve. colleagues. >> colleagues, i want to speak in support of mr. goldberg he represents a demographic somebody brought that needs a voice and he's done a good job. my office has been looking at the c ac members and looking at the boarder transportation authority c ac and with the transit riders union and it's been a wonderful process by i'd like to thank him for praert in that process and i'd urge his support as an incumbent. any other questions about those seats and a supervisor kim >> i want to make sure we have

a good balance of a lot of different factors we want to see. so far we've appointed 5 men and one woman. so i certainly would hope that with the at large seats we consider trying to do some balancing out. of the gender and looking at the city as well. i know how challenging it is our office did a lot of diverse background. but i certainly would like to see that >> excellent point commissioner campos. >> thank you, mr. chairman i want to echo our comments with respect to mr. goldberg i think

in having that continuity is important. i share the concern that commissioner semioutlined. i do wish making sure with we have a diversity representative sample of the community and i do worry there are not more women on this body. i won thing i >> the clerk will read the journal from the previous day add to the applicants that, you know, you have to - you can this is a hard process because we have so many incredible applicants and that's hard to appoint people but i hope you take out of this process we want people who want to serve and the

fact you're not appointed today doesn't mean you won't be. continue the involvement because that's how most people end up getting appointed to those seats >> so let me ask colleagues on those two at large seats i do strongly support what the commissioners are saying and one of the folks wants to be considered for the at large seat as well. commissioner breed >> i want to marry are we certain she wants to be considered. >> so far we have 8 men if we considered who we've made a motion to support we voluntary two open seats one at large.

why not moved with the at large and continue one at large and one richmond seat. so do you want to make sure that she continues to be interested. i assume that would be for any seat but we should make sure and give her an opportunity to speak to the projects committee because i didn't give her a head up >> so it sound like there's a motion to continue the second at large seat and can we reappoint jonathan goldberg for another two year term. out objection. thank you >> thank you very much mr. fong for making that as painless as possible and for all the people presenting. so ms. chang call the next item

>> 8 recommend 8 members to the advisory committee this is an action item. >> so my understanding is that oh, wow. we have a lady here - commissioner yee. >> i think this discussion in wanting to appoint more females on here i was a little lost in our discussion. i heard john a female and wants to be reappointed why did we skip over her. i will make a motion for her >> she's a south asian rep and i can't remember did they communicate an interest. >> she sent on e-mail saying

she was an attorney and her work required her to be in sacramento today. >> i recall that supervisor kim discussion to hold-off but do you want a motion. >> i want to have a female and here's one who's been on the committee and expressed that she wants to continue. i don't know her personally and john i don't have any objection so i would feel comfortable to nominate her. so i guess to reopen >> let me just think about procedurally so we'll resend the vote on the at large seat. yeah, and can we do that await objection.

am i doing this - so colleagues, i move we resend the vote on the at large seat can we do that without objection. thank you. so commissioner kim wants to open but commissioner yee is moving that we support the lady for the second at large seat. can we do that without - >> can somebody speak to her since she's not here i assume that staff has some background on her comment to the c ac. >> i'm not qualified to give her biology but she's been at most of the meeting and she continues be to enthusiastic about the projects and brings

the view of her particular neighborhood to the project as well and what neighborhood is that i saw generally pack heights. >> i think it's close to the fillmore area. i want to say she move forward recently so the location that's listed in her application is no longer her address but she moved still within proximity of the corridor so far as i know >> thank you. >> so we have a motion on the table from commissioner yee. sound like there's no other comments can we reappoint her for another term without objection colleagues. okay. thank you.
