that you are comfortable with to go with. >> okay. >> i think january for sure and february if we need to talk more about it meet more with people and flush out a little bit more. >> and also mr. brooks in public comment mentioned various scenarios -- i'm not sure of the time frame whether or not you could spell that out in the rfp, but i think that it is important to understand -- the goal, i think that i'm personally trying to get at is to provide the possibilities so i'd like to know a diverse grouping of, you know, various layers of the situation and not just okay this is what we have to do but these are the possibilities but i don't know how that works within the time frame so maybe it's something

to think about and let us know what your thoughts are on that so we can determine if it will work. >> so maybe an outline in january and you could give some feedback and i think we also need to think of resources and you know how much are we committing to this every endeavor and what's most important and where do we want to allocate because we could do a -- >> and this is something to think about because i know when i've met with mr. freid in the past about the budget many years we've given money back to the puc that we didn't use is that not the case. >> we give it back to the general fund. >> so i'm hoping that we have enough money for the current fiscal year so we could not necessarily give that money back to the general fund and use that initially with the

expectation that we'd have more money in the following fiscal year to help with this process ongoing so maybe we're able to kind of balance it out over fiscal years but it's something i know you guys have to look into and get back to on the details. >> yeah there's 2 different funds we draw money out of. we don't run that money. that's a bucket of money that's available to use from our mou and the general fund is not supposed to be use for cca but although we can change our minds but we have plenty of money right now. >> so why are we getting that money from the general fund if we can't use it for cca? >> we get money from the sfpuc and that's separate from the general fund money and we've returned the general fund money because we haven't needed it because we have enough that we

need from the sfpuc. >> so if we could have an understanding of what this is going to cost if we're going to do it, it's important we do it right and invest the necessary resources to making it happen. >> and we have to discuss with the sfpuc about the resource allocation. >> let me be clear i think at this point where we are we need a fresh pair of eyes and experts to look at this to bring all of our work together and look at it in a different way and i think it's important that we do away from the puc. >> thank you to the staff for the work and the information you brought back to us it's really helpful and i'm actually very excited and opt imistic

and so i really appreciate the work that everyone has invested in making this a possibility thank you. >> do we need to take a vote on item 3 c. >> i'd prefer if you direct staff to prepare an rfp for your consideration at least an outline at your next meeting along the lines of your discussion. >> so you want us to make a motion to approve this item? >> yes. >> so we have a motion by commissioner breed seconded by commissioner councilmember marcason mar. >> thank you for your great work on this. >> before we move onto the next item -- i don't believe that we have taken a motion to excuse

commissioner, chair avalos who could not be here so if we can have a motion by commissioner breed and if we can take that without objection. thank you. item number 4. >> 2014 lafco schedule. >> great. miss miller. >> the appropriate schedule is before you under our bye laws. >> okay so we have a motion before we take action on the motion why don't we open it up to public comment. seeing none public comment is closed so we have a motion we can take that without objection. >> we can now go to the next item item number type of.

>> executive officers report. >> there's no report at this time. >> no report is there any public comment on this item? seeing none public comment is closed. >> we can now go to item number 6. >> this is an opportunity for any members of the public to speak on any item that's not on the agenda. >> seeing no member of the public, public comment is closed. >> future agenda items. item number 7. >> is there anyone that would like to speak on any possible items? >> any member of the public? >> okay mr. brooks. >> eric brooks again. san francisco green party and also you might remember a few years ago 2006 and 7 my organization and we are still part of a

coalition when when google and earth link -- we're seeing tomorrow today or tomorrow the announcement that the fact that we kept them for actually charging us for wifi is leading to these corporations just giving it to us so that's something that's positive. and i'm hoping that in 2014 we finally do get scheduled on this item of building a public broadband internet network just like building the roads and highways we need in san francisco i'm hoping in 2014 we'll finally get action items on that and doing studies on how we can roll that out.
