and i just want to thank the staff at d.p.h., clair lindsay and robert hill, and jeff sinby for their work, particularly when volunteers were not able to go into the shelters and they did that themselves at their own peril. so, thank you for your stewardship of the program and the oversight. and i'm happy to extend it. i did in that conversation come at least personally to the conclusion that we've had trouble filling one particular seat because of seat qualifications are too narrow. we were not able in short order to develop that language to havd prefer somebody with those specific qualifications, and it's been vacant for quite some time. so i will either do one of two things. one, would be to -- if the city attorney would allow me to without having to re-refer it to committee, introduce what may be a non-substantive amendment to make the seat qualification for seat number 1 more broad, add that at the full board in two weeks. if that is not deemed to be substantive. or, i will have a trailing piece of legislation that takes care of that detail. so whichever ms. pearson, deputy city
