that would be great. >> president breslin? i also wanted to add -- i'm sorry, i missed this in the director's report. we have started negotiations with kaiser for 2015. we started on august 1st, and we just had our second meeting. so, we'll be working, working with you going forward. >> thank you. >> any public comment on this item? >>> dennis [speaker not understood], actively [speaker not understood] retired firefighter. i'd like to congratulate the new elected officers and i look forward to watching the year. and second of all, having sat through over a year of i guess presentations and actually negotiations that originally approved the gender -- my mind went blank there, but for the gender operations and so on. it's goow at that is recognized as any other procedure because at the time when they went through all that procedure, they tried to tell everybody that this is just another medical condition that has to be dealt with. so, it's nice to see even 15, 18 years later from that time this is now recognized for what it real

. >> president breslin? >> yes. >> i wanted to acknowledge the importance of that question and to also state that plan 1 has been a plan for hss since hss has existed in the '40s and we are dedicated to bringing an alternative model to the board that will save that plan and actually help turn it into a healthy plan again. so, that will be coming forward during the rates and benefits. actually in december so the board can give us direction on whether that is something to pursue for the rates and benefits. >>> hello, my name is gail bloom and i'd like to talk about plan 1. i don't know if this is the right time. i have a problem with plan 1 and i'd be happy to hold the question till later in the agenda when it looks like you have open discussion about the different plans. >> up to you. >>> well -- >> yeah, you can say something now about it. >>> it's about plan 1. if you want to hear it now, i'd be happy to bring it up. >> maybe you could talk to the staff. >>> i have talked to your staff. >> okay. >>> and the
