the appointment process for the community advisory committee for essential education. the -- our committee reviewed the current appointment for office which was discussed a bit at our last board meeting. the appointment process is governed by the education code so it's outlined in the district's plan, and so that plan, which was revised in june 2007 is currently being updated. and what the next steps are around that is to coordinate with the administration and the community and the advisory committee itself to ensure the updated plan is consistent where practical with the district board policy 2020 governing our citizen advisory committee. it's an ongoing process for us with the advisory committee itself. we want to headache sure all our advisory committees are to the extent possible governed by

2012, but obviously this [inaudible] gofrned in a different way so that's a process of working with our general council, as well as staff and committee itself to make sure to the extent possible we're able to align those policies. >> thank you commissioner haney. and may we please have a report from the billings and ground services committee of yesterday? >> we had quite a lively discussion last night. we had a report at 1979 mission street, which is on the corner of mission and 16th street and the proposed 351 apartment units, as well as retail space in the bottom at that location and the impact it will have on marshal elementary school. we also talked about the willy brown academy and the progress

being made in the building of that school. the steel has arrived and so if you go by the building you'll start seeing an actual structure coming into play. so that was very exciting to hear and we're still on schedule to open in 2015 and there are a lot of pieces in place around the marketing of the school, how it's going to be advertised particularly at the -- our annual fair and then we're also going to be hiring a sounding principal so that's going to be another exciting piece to that. and then we had two very interesting reports, one on the custodial services during the summer and we have quite a bit of custodial social securities that need to be implemented throughout the summer because of deep cleaning, because of summer programming, we are going to continue those

discussions and better understand how we balance some of the pieces to that. there are -- it was, i think very clear to all of us that we need more custodians in our district and that how we utilize our custodians, we just need to be thinking about that differently. and then the other piece to that was our permitting on the summer programming so elizabeth lee was available to answer any questions on that. willy green reported on the custodians and then we had larry who came in to talk to us about the work orders and the process in which work orders come through and priorities in which they take and the few number of staff members that he has as well that are helping to maintain all of our district facilities. so we had some really great conversations on how to help him streamline his process. we were actually hoping that there would be an opportunity,

superintendent, for some of david's key staff to talk to the principals at some point. that's something we used to do. maybe in particular some of the new principals, walking them through the process to get work orders completed, to think about how they allocate space and consolidate space for non profits. and permitting, because we think it would be really helpful to have that. thank you. >> thank you. i will now recess -- did you have something to say? i will now recess the regular meeting since the board will be going into closed session. okay,

that will be something on the program that you haven't heard before. string orchestra repertoire is pretty small. i used to be boxed into small repertoire. i kept constantly looking for new repertoire and commissioning new arrangements. if you look at the first of the program you have very early, young vibrant mendelson; fabulous opener and then you have this fabulous concerto written for us in the orchestra. is our gift. msk(music) >> and then you have strauss, extraordinary piece. the most challenging of all. string orchestra work.

23 solo instrument, no violin section, now viola section; everybody is responsible for their part in this piece. the challenge is something that i felt not only that we could do , absolutely could do, but i wanted to show off. i can't tell you how aware i am of the audience. not only what i hear but their vibes, so strong. i have been doing this for a long time. i kind of make them feel what i want them to feel. there is nobody in that audience or anywhere that is not going to know that particular song by the fourth note.
