>> thank you, ken rue, deputy city attorney through the chair. that's the process. i think what we've done in the past, we start with the election of the chair. we have a discussion out out of the discussion, we have a motion. before we vote on the motion, however, we need to go to public comment, of course. and then we take the vote. if that fails, we repeat the process until someone becomes chair. once we have a chair elected, we simply repeat the process for the vice chair. >> i would hik like to nominate kristin chu to be chair of this committee. >> second. >> chairman: any public comments? can we take public comment? seeing none, can we vote? >> yes. >> chairman: okay. chair chu? >> yea. >> mr. lurkin? >> is that me? >> chairman: okay. member mccue? >> yes. >> member mcnulty? >> yes. >> member patoha? >> yea. >> chairman: vice chair post? >> yes. >> chairman: great. mr. mills hasn't been sworn in yet, so he is not is voting today. have there any nominations for vice chair. >> i will nominate lauren post for vice chair. >> chairwoman: i will second. any comments
