that is on the board's website. on our website, we have a memo that lists all of the boards and commissions that are decision-making bodies, rather than advisory bodies, where the mayor or some combination of the mayor and board or board president makes the appointments. and then the city's conflict of interest code, which the board passes every other year, also includes a list of all of the boards and commissions, whose members have to file form 700, with the ethics commission. putting all three together, you can basically find everything, but the point is well-taken from the grand jury there is no easy access list. so they have asked our office to prepare such a list and we're going to do that within the next couple of months. i think our letter says within 90 days. one proviso is we're going to prepare a list alphabetized as the grand jury requests of all decision-making bodies in the city. advisory bodies sometimes come and go, created by ordinance or the mayor or departments and so our list won't track those, a
