we continue the board program. it is never really a good time. we want to make sure the resources are in place. if they are not, what kind of adjustments can be made. the special program, the recommendation is to recognize that most sap training is about the family homes and small buildings. if we want to use the volunteers, we need to be in a position to use the right volunteers, maybe have a special training program for them, maybe have a special certification for them. and i hope if we are successful with that, that will be useful to the other major cities in california and the west coast who will rely on our expertise and developers as well so we have teams properly trained to use the procedures in the downtown areas of the major cities. >> okay. first of all, we do have the task force to be set up. a there are a lot of materials her here to make sure everybody has an input. there is information about how to get help when there is an earthquake. when there is trouble, you can ask for help. but before we do this, everybody has to come in organi

maybe more of a logistical question about the program and the board program. a couple of questions. if there was an earthquake, and there were engineers coming up from la to help. there would be a lot of activity needed by a lot of people. the firms in the city will be very busy. there have backup plans. >> when the program was stopped [no audio] and screens all those. i remember the time our building -- and the[no audio] coming to help us, with our engineers on the building. we ne we cannot do the inspection. [no audio] in the building, that's why we have this to help them to get ready and -- every couple of years, the engineer may not be available anymore. the electricians and all those, that is why -- >> it is clearly a national program. i would strongly agree with the recommendations. it is very valuable to have an entity, like a firm who knows the building already and the people are standing by. and that knowledge is transferred as people and come and go within the firm. someone dedicated to the building, who knows, that is valuable. >> to make sure they are on top of this. >>

i felt with the strong support of the board we'd able to fund the program and the board did try to expandfree city. but the pot we get to play with on june 15 is incredibly small and not large enough to fully fund the program. i'd not want to put the provision in. i'm fine with an annual report. i'm sure supervisor mandelman will make that happen with the passage of the oversight committee ordinance. >> supervisor: supervisor yee. >> so the amendments would have to be implemented by march of 20120 20 and i know that we're having a discussion on the m.o.u. and i have concerns on the m.o.u. and we need to negotiate a good m.o.u. that deals with all this stuff. and we need to do that soon because in many ways the m.o.u. doesn't support some of the things we desire, don't forget the election or this for the vote nor -- for the ballot measure is in november. i feel we have leverage in terms of getting what we want from city college. otherwise some of us might -- never mind. >> if they call their name off through the department of elections it does remove the charter amendment and you have unti

program. if there's concern the dollar amount is too high, know it will come back to the general fund. after the audit, the board will have visibility with the two-thirds majority to adjust out up and down if major policies or programs pass at the state or federal level. finally, on the scholarship issue, the topic makes me uncomfortable too. free city was never intended to be a lifestyle program. a last dollar program is every other scholarship must be fully expended before our program kicks in. that wasn't the intention. we know the last dollar scholarship programs always hurt the lowest income students. i can barely understand my own pension and health care. i have staff that haven't even signed up because they were so busy working and these are folks with means. how can we expect the most vulnerable students to apply for every scholarship. it hurts the lowest-income students the most and middle income students can apply for fafsa but the lowest-income will not apply and attend. i want to help city college fund counselors and do everything we can to streamline the process because i don't want to leave dollars
