that was happening there. did we approve that money, i thought we approved that money to do something to mitigate, if we have that money, can we get it done because it's been several years now. it was before your time, tiffany. >> when you say we? >> it was back in the older days. >> just to answer commissioner bustos question, i recognize it's not calendared, but you are correct the former redevelopment agency commission approved dollars public improvement dollars to make certain improvements along the public right-of-way that was in front of this church and those dollars and we can follow up with an

informational memorandum. my recollection and my understanding was those dollars were approved by this commission and expended. it doesn't quite help the private property issue, but the past or of the church has raised as well as dr. jackson there are certain private property functional issues about the building meeting the street grade. we have a limited ability to post a solution if we have not entered into a contract unless there is an area with tax for bond increase. we are unable to enter into an agreement to make further improvement but nonetheless we can follow up with an informational memorandum. part of the commission's charge was to, all right if we can't help, what can we do, so we have

worked closely and also the department of public works has reviewed an issue to see what can be done on the public side as the city's side own public improvement program but there may be other improvements that the church owner itself may have to do but we can get the current people together. >> maybe you can just provide us with an update because if it is an issue of an agency as the city that caused some of this flooding that maybe we can we do to planning or public works that if we did cause this maybe we can mitigate it because if it is public property and we have to fix

it. >> just for correction, the city did not cause the issue. >> that's what we are hearing from folks is that we caused it. if there is things we can do on our side to help mitigate the problem, the church, the great tabernacle provides a community service to the community there, so maybe there is things we can do on our side if we didn't cause it maybe there is things we can do to help something to mitigate that and if there is certain things the property owner can do, then maybe the property owner as a non-profit can raise some money to help do that too. thank you.
