9:50 am
ago there were things i think your director agree there's another process. >> we have some city perimeters for what we have to do. and our fees match the fountains that other government agencies process. it's actually capacity building if you write a proposal that goes to rfp you can shop it so we are going to try to a simulate this as public fund. we have to be transparent so would love our feedback, you know, you can change this and that >> but nothing tangible to look at. >> i think what the other departments will take to our
9:51 am
ceo's and have a survey on what's working and not working. >> when can we expect that survey to happen. >> probably not until february. >> we did have an internal meeting with shawn and david and others to do an assessment of reilly take into account how to engage community groups and the internal process. so we have some documents that came out of that meeting. here's the business process with how we manage money. we look at that and say is that staff or community members where is it we can improve that
9:52 am
process >> can we do the survey in january. >> we probably will not been able to do it in january. i am thinking mid february we want it to be a good process >> yeah. let's do this i know it's not you i've been saying this for months i'm really serious i think it's great what you guys are doing but to get the feedback this is great this is a community friendly process we can propose stuff that is happening on the ground and not have the challenges. i'm saying january because one person is saying a lot >> we'll come up with a plan. >> all right. the other if

>> that's good you guys are doing good we're on the ground and we say get engaged get engaged and they say we're doing this we can't articulate this one the confines of our fees we can change that and for us who are role the community driven folks. >> josh i want to address that one thing that's been channeling many the world the carbon is that the things that are laid out for the folks are impossible for them. nobody could follow the portfolio we're excited to hear from people do you understand this and things. but i want you to know this represents a huge go progress for the carbon folks to get
9:55 am
money out and no other city has done this because of the difficulty of portfolio on the ground. that's because of the executive order that newsom signed >> that's within a defined market and the portfolio that is defined so switching that to modify offsets is a switch that allows us to open up the field and loss the rfp process to be more effective. this is only one step in a direction of trying to make this money assessable. when that roll were we talking about trying to fix the plan
9:56 am
