comparis comparison. coming on board we had new personnel growth. this is always a prior to me to increase the staff for our back loads and increase our jurisdiction with prop g. starting this week is diana rosen seen t rosen stein here in the audie e audience. many of you know her. she's been with the city a long time. he was with -- she was with the city attorney's office before joining our team and before that she was at the public defender's office. we're excited she is here. we also brought in sharon elsli who is not here this evening. she's going to work in our mediation team. she starteded to. the next steps are to bring in another lawyer. i didn't mention it before. inez frankal who was with the

work you've done. you've been very helpful. and we could not have done the work we've done without shouch tremendous service and sacrifice by all of you. thank you. any questions for director henders henderson? director henderson, also in your presentation, you didn't note that there were -- that the [ indiscernible ] which is certainly a good sign and i'm assuming you're satisfied these are thorough investigation. also what i'm hearing is we seem to have less filings between last year and that year. is that correct? >> that is correct. a combination of two things. one, we've introduced a triage model. so cases are handle and are not ta taking a full year to do the investigation. also we are getting less cases coming in the door. i think that that is going to change once we get a new computer system up and web site

up so that it's easier for people to access information and get us the information either on their phones or through the internet. you can do it but it's a tricky process to do it now with the current web site. >> i understand. thank you. any other questions for director henders henderson? thank you. >> line 1c. commission reports, commission president's report. >> the commission president has no report at this time. >> commissioners? any reports? >> commissioners have no reports today. next line. >> 1d. commission announcements and scheduling items identified for consideration at future commission meetings action. >> i know the commissioner herb
