robust discussion about special education assessing our language programs as well so i'm hoping we can continue that very violent discussion thank you. >> thank you commissioner murase report if budget and business services commissioner norton and they met on february 1st, we heard commissioner murase and commissioner wynns resolution about the green memorial we passed forward to you with a positive recommendation we're going to hear for more and more about has a negligible impact of implementation we heard the chapter the committee gave that a positive recommendations and heard an interesting presentation on the transportation department and you heard some things in the

past report that were highlighted from that report i think that the biggest sort of how the transportation has ballooned in costs over the past years and big reason in transporting students to non-public schools fewer located within san francisco so that's definitely something that we've been watching and continue to be of concern and i did suggest that we have a cow at some that's right looking at the transportation policy and i know when you're looking to hire hire a transportation planner that would be helpful and he actually think that may, in fact, have happened half fund by mta is that in the works i

think maybe anyway i support that i think the committee supported that and heard a great presentation from the colleague on the governor's budget that was released shows revenues are slowing we need to be aware of that that will effect our budget in house here and the staff with is really starting to doing scenario planning i thought the presentation was great i recommend i think y'all got a copy i recommend you look at that that owls where we may need to make trade offs to understand what the trade offs are i believe that's it the next meeting the budget committee on march first on 6:00 p.m.
