>> thank you. good morning, commissioners. great to be here with you. as i am sure you are aware another focus area of work is the public work. this is putting that public bank in perspective of bank accountability. i believe moments like this like the one we are in now magnifies areas that need changes. arguably i think the current pandemic is the perfect storm to evaluate bank accountability. i am looking at response by private and public actors in live time and assessing their epactions. the report has three key questions. in brief the report looks at incentive structure driving the large corporate banks andrews lessons to form forward

solutions to immediate community needs and the report will look at what covid-19 means for accountability community actors like small banks and credit unions. given this present moment, i think we need the san francisco public bank initiative in the changing system of needs. this will be completed by the end of the month. i will share the recommendations with you at the next lafco meeting. with that i am happy to field questions or comments. >> thank you so much for your assistance with this. we look forward to that report. any comments or questions for kara? >> i just want to say thank you, kara, for putting this together. i am very, very excited to see

what you come up with next month because we think we need to start thinking at a public bank at this point like something to help us get back on our feet with regards to affordable housing and issues that are going to be adversely impacted by a deep precision or depression with budget cuts. i am glad we are framing the public bank as part of the covid-19 response. >> commissioner haney. >> thank you, chair fewer. this is exciting. i am glad we are doing this. thank you for coming on. one of the things we have been looking a lot at is what banks have been doing for people who have struggled to pay mortgages or rent, and what policies are

set up across the different be banks and what opportunities there are. that will continue to be an issue after this is done just to put a word in there if that is something to look at forgiveness and interest rates and all of that for folks having challenges repaying loans or mortgages. that is an important piece. it sounds like that is included. i wanted to flag that. >> definitely. thank you. >> thank you, kara. we also at the board of supervisors my office have been working with the public bank. we can use that information. thank yothank you for your your. i echo what commissioner heavy y rain me said -- haney said. open this up for public comment. any otheany other items.
