9:31 am
but the rest is pretty much a direct quote of e-mail to mr. elliott. >> i've had spotty results are transparency with the mayor's office of housing a year ago inkwooig about the down payment loan we gave me information and now will not tell me how many of the fiscal year 2013-2014 loans that were not issued under deploying were revolted over to the next year and not tell me how many of the applications were received this year you have to be very, very

9:33 am
buildings for rehab you should look not to surplus them but to tell you land that the department sit on in close proximity where you make arrangements for example, 101 grove if you projected the health department the first 5 floors and went to to the limit and maybe accepted the property and give them a floor and make a deal with the department you could build the city department city administration building on that site without having to purchase land and you offer them space and build and you have it. >> and that wouldn't take 5 years if you don't do it now there will become surplus land so i see the did you not in our
