. >>> i'm joyce crumb, human services agency. i'd like to speak to the nomination of raija freeman. i think raija bring a world view to the shelter monitoring committee. she's degreed, she's professional, and i think she looks at it in a different manner because she's on the giving side of services that individuals are receiving. i think one of the things that nick said was that we need more diversity. we certainly do. 65% of the shelter population is african-american and we currently -- i think we might have one african-american that sits on that committee. so, i think the mere fact that when someone goes out to a shelter to conduct a site visit and they can connect with someone that looks like them, opens them up to being real honest about what they feel about the shelter and the things that are going on in the shelter. so, i do definitely support raija's nomination even with the residency requirement. thank you. >> thank you, ms. crumb. is there any other public comment? seeing none, public comment is now closed. [gavel] >> colleagues, any thoughts? supervisor breed. >> thank you
