supervisor chu: thank you. for organizations like cba cbd to be able to tap into a community challenge grant, in my mind that is not a good connection as they are meant to address and deal with smaller organization neighborhood type projects. if you are already getting an assessment of $2.7 million, it doesn't seem it should be the intent of aid community challenge grant to augment the budget. i hope that is not a red line on your fund raising component. >> we do not want that to be. we have a project that fits neatly into that criteria at this point. which is why we made the decision to apply. supervisor chu: thank you. let's open this up for public comment. i have two cards year.

supervisor chu: it is hard. i learned that my shoes were out pretty quickly -- wore out pretty quickly. i learned to be more practical about the types of shoes i war, of course, but overall, i learned how important it is to communicate with people about what it is you would like to do. in any campaign and any political idea that comes forward, there are misconceptions about candidates, about people, about issues. the most important thing you can do to break through that is to have direct conversations in people's living rooms and talk to them about the issues that you see are pressing and what you are working on and explain your values to people. at the end of the day, they can choose to support you or not support you, support your issue or not, but at the end of the day, at least you are not perpetuating misinformation. at the end of the day, i enjoyed getting to know the people out there. in terms of interesting jobs, this has to be one of the most interesting jobs. you work on a whole host of issues all year
