what is the citizens advisory committee say? they said that this all sounds very good basically, but they want it in an easy to use report card file format, and that there is a heck of a lot of good information and requirements now. but to put it in a digestible usable way, that would be best set and the public can understand and really appreciate and have accessible accountability and assurance. >> and where would it be published? >> that is an opportunity for us to do it on our website, to put it in our popular annual report and put it into our comprehensive annual financial report, and to really put it in bill inserts or otherwise. it would provide a pretty far-reaching opportunity. they focus as well -- >> that is your intent is what you're saying? >> i'm saying that the possibility is really quite good to be able to get it out in front. i'm not proscribing that we have to do that, but to the degree we want to, much like already required by city ordinance and by street a voters told the city to do back in 2003-2004 with prop
