if i can ask the deputy city attorney. if i could ask miss adams. if i could ask the deputy city attorney, would supervisor daly's motion be a motion with regards to specific items that we have on the calendar? i think we need to do that. >> let me make one clarification here. we have a redevelopment plan that is being adopted potentially by you today. we also have a bunch of plans and when people use the term plan, they need to be careful what they're talking about. a bunch of plans attacked to a disposition and development agree many. -- agreement. we also have a contract between the city and the agency called the interagency cooperation agreement and that has the ability, when you approve some of the implementing contracts, the interagency cooperation agreement, you have the ability to approve the contract on some changes being made to those other plans that are attachments to the d.b.a. about the it is a contract so it requires approval of the developer and the agency in order to affectuate those. but we do not have the ability to condition appr

it does not say it is okay to ask the city attorney. it does not say it is ok to seek the and permission from anyone else or anywhere else as a substitute for a commissioner having a basic level of knowledge required by law. not to meet the minimum qualifications is different from having gaps in your education. you have been a commissioner for five years. you not only have the minimum qualifications for your position, you are also lacking knowledge in the requirements. the public activist for people's rights has spent many hours to protect people's writes. he commented during public comment. your job is to protect public rights. commissioner garcia, you attacked him by saying that he could not speak any public comment section. it is not required to take a note for public comment. he was not a witness. your attack on mr. hartz is totally unacceptable when you lack the qualifications and knowledge to be a commissioner. you did this to support and protect illegal projects. i believe you owe mr. hartz a public apology. president peterson: a
