instead of 26.4 contingency is justified and would result in needed increase amount of numbers requested and our recommendation on page of the report we recommend that you recommend the proposed resolution to reduce the increase in the not to exceed amount by $276,000 and for the total listed to reflect a 10% contingency or $168,000 in lieu of 24-point 4% contingency or $440,000 and we recommend that you approve the proposed resolution as amended. >> okay. thank you mr. rose so with the one month -- now does that change things here? >> yes it does. we concur with the report for that end date but by pushing it to january 31 i would like the opportunity to
11:31 am
revisit the numbers. we believe this amount is sufficient but i don't want to come back and short change us again. >> let me suggest this. we will talk public comment but i want suggest that we continue the items and not take amendments -- hold on. we need to do the extension amendment now and do the numbers amendment next week if we can advise you to work on it together. okay. >> and if i could make one other comment? i am sure i would appreciate and my colleagues at the other departments would appreciate if maybe we could have a small working group in next fiscal year to see ways that we can expedite the contract approvals for the board. right now they average six and eight weeks and mr. rose is accommodating but everyone needs time to do their due diligence before we bring it here and we find ourselves short in the process of getting in front of the board so the
11:32 am
departments can do a better job of starting the process earlier but maybe we can look at the process and see some streamlining to benefit us and make it so we're not bringing these last minute contract modifications before the board. >> i don't disagree with that comment but in my experience it's going to be incumbent upon the departments to think well in advance because i will tell you departments and i appreciate the comments earlier and jam this body and not intentionally but they do it and it's something we don't appreciate so you will find resistance on departments that come late and criticize the process for not being quick enough for them and i appreciate the comments and we can always do it better but it will come down on the departments to think ahead in the future. >> that's fine. we're willing willing to do that. >> okay. okay. so why don't we take public comment on this item? anyone wish to comment on this item? okay seeing none public comment is closed.
11:33 am
okay. so we have a requested amendment to extend the term until from now -- instead of december 31, 2013 to january 31, 2014. could i have a motion to accept that amendment? okay. mr. city attorney just to double check we have done the amendment to extend to january 31 and if we continue the entire item to next week we can work on the financialimplications. >> that's right and as long as they're doing that and i believe that's what they're requesting. >> we just want to check the items one more time. >> we will continue this item and to the december 4 budget and finance committee. all right. motion to continue this item as amended. so moved. thank you. >> thanks. >> madam clerk do we have any
