11:01 am
issue we need to grapple with. the good part about it, in addition to the fact that people are living longer and living healthier lives, the positive here is that this is not one of those issues that is perpetual and has no boundaries around it. this is a very discrete, defined population of long-term survivors who we need to address so we don't have large numbers of people with hiv losing their housing and either becoming homeless or housing to leave the city. i know we can address it working to the and i look forward to that work. with that, mr. chairman, if there are no additional comments or questions i would ask that we file item no. 1. >> thank you, supervisor wiener, thank you to everyone to came out to speak on this item today and our budget analyst for their hard work.

11:06 am
the resolution or, as the budget analyst, you can urge the puc to include a not to exceed in the resolution. >> maybe we should just talk about that topic itself. do you have an issue? >> i have no issue, frankly i was mortified when i found out we had overextended and tried to find out where was the control that should have been in place. this is a very simple and effective resolution of that so we are in total agreement with it. >> supervisor. >> my question was actually just about that very same topic, making sure that moving forward that there are the internal controls that the budget analyst had recommended. i'm not sure why it wasn't in there in the first place. >> i'll be careful it won't happen again. >> thank you. if no other questions, colleagues, we will open up to public comment. anybody wish to comment on item 2? seeing none, public comment is closed. so, colleagues, we have a recommendation by our budget
