most of it was around affordability and the business items i want to highlight he brought out was his commitment to continue the 88 program that has been developed with the neighborhood. and continue on small business leading up and support for the business portal. those are 3 important things for the commission. and the mayor has - will be continuing his commitment on that. i want to make the announcement so on december 9th the commission approved a resolution to have the apply for the s b d c rfp and last friday open the 24th we received the official announcement that this o the

contract has been granted so we'll be meeting in the next couple weeks to figure out how we will be working on facilitating that grant. once we'll have that flushed out you'll get the plan for the city program. a quick update the jobs are posted now and but we're still a ways away from it's a fairly laborious process even once the jobs are are do posted they're posted through the 8th district at large. there's testing and there's a period of some an individual to

be able to consist about their test. it's a detailed and lengthy process and if all goes well timing wise we will know at least for one position around the end of march the other may take longer because there's a specific language requirement and an additional test. christen and i will be metro moot with dwp to start formalizing the permit process and structure. we do need to work out some discussions and how it will be done with dwp and, of course, get an absolute confirmation from them. the formula retail study the presentation was made to working

groups and the planning commission last week phase one was presenting data. it did not the data didn't give any inclusive direction of any sort of concept or ideas in terms of - not necessarily rethinking but there are there other ways to take into account a formula retail control. we'll wait and see and commissioner dooley you attended one of the workshops so you'll be able to present that. and lastly it's a long list of legislation that's before the commission the legislation of policy committee we'll be hearing from later on today.

and in the future. with that, i that concludes my report if you have any questions, i'll be happy to answer them >> can i gritting give a shout out to senate file you can't a she's been doing a good job. i want to give a shout you tell to her. i'm starting to hear from other people and posted online her presentations i wanted to give a shout out for her hard work >> i extend my appreciation she did a good job in calling for some of the stakeholders to review this with. a good group of people to present it to. >> okay. next item. >> the next item is item 11 president's report.
