(inaudible). >> just want to point out for the record we've given the older lease in 1999, that spelled out the terms and a new lease and the terms are exactly the same that's what we provided in the lease so. >> if that's true (inaudible). >> excuse me. not if they've got the same area that the other had i'm satisfied i want to say for sure they don't have (inaudible) i want you all to understand. >> okay dr. jackson do you have a copy of the letter? i have one right here to give you if you don't have one and do you have the lease?

>> and then 5 thousand square feet adjacent. >> the exact same thing why don't we move forward we can talk about this. >> i'm sorry we can't talk about it now, it's not on the agenda. >> that's my space. >> okay. at this point do we have any another public comment before we move on? item 5 communication >> commissioners? members of the public any comment on communications? okay. is it on communications? >> yes. >> commissioners no one is going to disrespect dr. espanola jackson i've had a lot of patience i

served through 3 generals 3 i pay attention to the communication as to the deliberations about the 5 thousand square feet and the additional 4 thousand plus the 3 thousand 4 hundred square feet was a space vacant so a gentleman could have a media center that was vested and many of your staff members were aware of it now what's happening is they're not paying attention there's one person trouble maker who is gone before the political action committee and the ethnics commission and thinks she have access to the mayor or the general manager so do we have a

lot of patience lots of patience please does not disrespect dr. espanola jackson please she's 81 years old and she know here history well, she comes here many times on some things she'll have her own opinion that comes with age but when it comes to real estate and when it comes to other things don't try to hoodwink us 3 people spoke about it one commissioner said let's go over to thing and make it happen on one condition that the footprint remains the same if you say it is and it's not then we need to continue this matter

this matter is going to come from a committee and if those two people who the commission has the blessing and signing tomorrow i'm going to be there even though i'm not feeling well, today, it's not going to be pretty they're not - we have astute that's why the last time i waited for everybody to speak and i said there is a dark cloud hanover our heads we want to do right but again and again the devil plays the music i unite going to distance to the tune of the devil god have mercy on this wicked wicked person. >> can i quickly comment so we

can under communications if you look at the original lease it says there's a approximately 5 thousand square feet of adjacent space and if you look at the bottom of the old one it says approximately 3 thousand 4 hundred and 50 square feet of rental space in the old document in the new document in reverse order it is 3 hundred and 50 thousand square feet and it says approximately 5 thousand square feet adjacent in childcare so it says the same thing in opposite order i don't know what to say it's the same it is a fact though the other thing i want to point out i'm not trying to cause disrespect i feel i have

total confidence in my staff and the real estate is the are person who is in charge of 56 the leases and that's the person i have confidence in determining that the space is identical. >> well, i'd like to say this we'll get together and work it out this is not insunday nightable both leases there is a play yard of 5 thousand sheet e square feet and the indoor area is 3 thousand plus that's in the old lease and the very same thing is in the new lease i don't know if you've reviewed both leases but clearly it states that. >> can i add real quick. >> sure. >> my understanding because it was raised is this we've taken

action on the item but it was contingent on making sure the facts are what they say they are and there's no change my hope we'll get advise from staff if that at an appropriate time our action is upheld. >> okay. then moving on to other commission business commissioners any business? >> i have some nouchlts to make in the agenda item 13 will be heard at our next meeting and under the regular calendar we're going to hear item 16 first because i believe there are people who want to speak and so to make our life easier we'll move i to the first spot.

>> item 16 we want it removed. >> oh, removed okay. thank you and i guess the only other thing in commission business is go giants already item 7. >> item 7 is recommendation the deputy general manager for the rim fire. >> so i have the great pleasure of attending the 90 anniversary of compassionate where the friends of camp margret i accepted the award and ann claishg the friends of camp mather wanted to be here. >> will michael come up maybe

event. >> actually, the partnership with the west coast water was one of the key partners that was a great thing. >> i'm here to give an update on the drought if i could have the slides please. some of those are familiar again if so the reservoir that shows hetch hetchy the water bank it 34 percent of capacity that's a good thing and the storage is 57 percent which is a bit low but you expect that the specific numbers we've lowered hetch hetchy 84 hundred feet since the first of july it is not as much as we normally do we have a 10 percent reduction by people and that's a good thing we've added to the water banks and done a

good job and the storage is down but we want to make sure we preserve the supplies overall our picture going 0 into next year is relatively good on the precipitation front we're at the beginning of the year if you look at this closely you'll see a bump from last saturday from the men's show it was not anything to speak about and prpgs later this week and the good news is the peak about 3 weeks ago we hit a hot spell we're staying below the level to achieve the 10 percent demand for the year in looking at our custom water savings we
