>> supervisors, kate stacy in the city attorney's office. if you are discussing severing out subsection e of 2116 and eliminating appeals of exemptions at this point, a could be amended to read "if the board of first the negative declaration or eir, that should be final and shall not be appealed again." then it would not be discussing exemptions any longer. supervisor chiu: thank you. that is exactly what i am trying to achieve and i would ask if we can incorporate that. chairperson maxwell: that is to additional amendments. -- two additional amendments. supervisor mar: my head is spinning from the legal language in changes that have been made so quickly. i share planning department staff concerns. a lot of neighborhood representatives -- i do not think this is ready for prime time. i appreciate the efforts to try to move forward with some of this, but i do feel we are tinkering with a 40-year-old law that is about protecting the environment and giving a voice and some say to neighborhood groups, sometimes challenging good and bad projects.
