if it's water it is how the water rairpt will be impacted, about how the future cca ratepayer is going to be impacted. so he takes that role extremely seriously, and that's one of the reasons i decided to take time off to come speak for him. when it comes to commissioner vietor, she will figure out what the issue is, ask the question how to do it more environmentally smart, and i am surprised when they were talking about replacing the general manager they didn't figure out how to make it a more environmentally friendly but she seems to take the role as the environmental representative on the board extremely seriously. commissioner caei seen her pull up stuff where she said didn't we do this several years ago and why are we talking about it again. she understands the history of the puc and understands where it's been approximate. i think it's important to take all three of these commissioners. thank you. >> chair kim: thank you. is there any other public comment on this item? seeing none, public comment is now closed. i know that there are a number of pbs of the public who are here that
