despite the fact they be issued by yesterday. again to my knowledge the department has worked hard to come up with practical elections that are going to work. they have listens to our concerns they've done everything but i must say it's very frustrating to have the department appear at the hearings and say that at&t's applications should be denied because they didn't follow the rules but we're not going to follow the rules on the new ordinance. the reason we've filed all the appeals last fall the department stopped following its order that makes it difficult to do business that way where we think
6:31 pm
they should be held to the same kind of standards we're held to which say they having should follow the rules. i want to stress that they have done an excellent job with the regulations and i don't want to seem to be criticizing but the practical problem is while they've been working they've not accepted applications or processed anything we've had a new process that will ca take a couple of months through no fault of their own shut down construction in san francisco it's a subsequential thing >> i have a question mr. johnson what other entities don't have to comply. >> for instance, you'll notice
6:32 pm

6:33 pm
and the city is exempt >> okay. >> so i can use words. >> no, i asked specifically. thank you very much >> ms. short rebuttal. >> thank you, carl short department of public works i want to address one point mr. johnson kugd what dpw could have been done is to hold the hearing open and allow for the time to review the additional sites at&t could have submitted more than one site at the outset there was nothing in the process that prevented at&t from submitting more than one and it - the
6:34 pm
language used the plural in addition the sites that were identified as the box walk if at&t would have allowed the populations the time to review what was being proposed we might not feel ourselves obligated to deny but as argued the state law does allow us to look for a site that is at least butch on the population so we have the populations weigh in on it the hearing officer is left to deny those applications. the applications were properly denied. and again, because our new ordinance requires that any permit that is not final in the effective date of the ordinance should be subject to the new ordinance. i will once again explain we
6:35 pm
were flu on target to meet the 60 day deadline we give them a chance to talk about this and we gave them an opportunity to weigh in as we were still crafting the order and had a more formal process that culminated in a public hamburger after the public hearing the inspires office that supported the legislation the supervisor who required the 60 day 7, 8, 9 limit requested because of the holiday season we allow people until after labor day we were the ones that enclosed it we agreed other than that we were to have a time limit in place >> ms. short.

6:37 pm
before the new ordinance. at&t needs to exhaust they're right of appeal so - >> want to go through the process they can do whatever they want to but if there's no further legal action i suggest that we not drag down the public and did - the board. >> thank you. commissioners those matters are submitted >> i would move to deny the appeal based on the reasons we've did stated many times. >> this is one of the last few days. >> no, it's probably preface to many, you know. >> as the council for at&t
6:38 pm
stated that this is very frustrating its very frustrating for everybody and as a member of the public had stated earlier there in my opinion would not be new legislation had there been more outreach on the on behalf of at&t it's frustrating for all of us to into through this on a weekly basis and the public that stays out here until 10 or 11:30 in the evening. i hope i'm going to support what my fellow commissioner says >> deny the appeal and yeah. deny the appeal but hopefully, this new legislation will make people happier. >> i don't hear that open -
