. >> sally was diagnosed with primary sclerosing cholangitis, known as psc, a rare chronic liver disease with no cure. she would need a liver transplant, but they're not easy to come by. >> until i made a decision in my head pretty early on that i wanted to be the donor. if it was possible, i'd start getting in physical shape. i stopped drinking, doing everything to try to make sure my liver was going to be good enough for it. and when she got that message that day, it was like, i'm volunteering. >> married for 28 years, todd wanted to spend a lifetime with sally by his side, offering to donate 60% of his liver in 2008 to keep his wife healthy. todd, giving the love of his life a second chance at life, proving true love does exist. >> if you think about the possibilities of not being able to enjoy all the wonderful things that we've been blessed with, i mean, how can you say anything but thank you. >> you're welcome. i would do it again. >> yes. >> 15 years later, todd's liver has grown back, and sally is doing well. making a love story for the ages. >> where you can hear about the west

. >> i think we worked with the psc to understand that contract that they've entered into over the past couple of years under the delegated authority. and based on the information that they've provided it appears to me that they've used the existing delegation of authority judiciously and only for contracts that had quick execution timelines within a week or so that would not be suitable to bring through a legislative process. there was one contract that they could have brought that they could have entered into under the delegation of authority but then brought to the board because it had a longer procurement timeline. so i think that in combination with the fact that you know, these contracts are funded by power revenues, they're highly regulated under state law. they're not contribute in dailies directly to the general fund deficit. i think the power enterprise's well-managed so i think this delegation of authority feels less risky than the delegation of authority we talked about a couple of weeks ago. >> but it is removing power of the board of supervisors. for that reason we do cons

, the professional service contracts so you have a good sense of what we're doing for public health psc, mta and all of the city family, the general fund, the combination of capital and ongoing. so again if you look at that light gray that there is some funding in the budget currently that didn't maintain for the paving program for curb ramps some of the core functions we do and i'll go through some of the other ones that have been removed and not included in the budget and then that dark gray in the lower right that's general fund what's called general fund operating. i'm going to have a whole slide on what makes up that amount because that's really where we have to make our reductions the 13.8 million and then just moving around solid waste commissioners as you know the trash can pick up by recology rather didn't have to pay for that out of that funding becomes a small amount as you see here at $12 million comes from that directly to public works and the solid waste account and that provides mechanical sweeping services hand sweeping and sidewalks and then the one team which is the ou

who are the members of the psc or what avenues are available for raising objections to projects thatwe believe bypass local residents or violate the policies such as has been done over at again at mission bay i mean not just only mission bay but trans bay. so we're trying to figure out who is the account holder we come to for accountability. >> what is the recourses and how do we make sure that inclusion is definitely involved with the community contractors? we wouldn't be here raising these questions right now and if we were contracting contractual opportunities because we would be obligated to be doing research and reports to make sure that we are in compliance. but because we don't have contracts we are out of compliance and we want to make sure that somebody is held accountable. >> thank you. thank you, mr. williams. thank you. >> are there any other members of the public wishing to comment on non agenda items at this time? seeing none. we're moving over to remote callers. we do have one caller. >> hi, this is gloria berry from ten. born and raised in district five, the fillmore
