they're part of the fabric what we had in the city and every time we lose one of them by them moving to oakdale we lose something incredibly important the workers leave and the services go away so i think this very important short term emergency program is only the first step into a large picture of how we structure the financial world in the nonprofits to stay in the city that is benefiting from larger booms thank you. >> next speaker. >> good afternoon. i'm broadcasting the scld of 0 positive reservoirs center at the 785 market and we've been there 10 years first i want to thank supervisor kim in hosting the meeting in her office this
