on average, city employees had to go approximately twice to the task force. they could not go the first time to get it done. there were times when they were going more than two times. that is the average. that is not acceptable. it creates enormous inefficiencies. the task force needs to be able to manage its calendar, which it has not done. i think that the rules committee did a very good job in terms of selecting smart, good, hard- working people who can come to give a fresh perspective to resuscitate this task force. there was one recommendation of the rules committee with which i do not agree, which is the recommendation to reappoint bruce wolfe to seat 8. i believe that a change should be made in that seat as well. i think they need a fresh start. i move to amend the recommendations for a8seat 8 to remove bruce wolfe and add another applicant, todd david pirie supervisor chiu: -- todd david. supervisor chiu: is there a second? seconded by supervisor farrell. any further discussion? supervisor campos? up supervisor campos: first of all, i want to thank al
