supervisor cohen. >> thank you madam president. through the chair to supervisor kim, i think you raised some critical points. i want to call your attention that i've been working with the mayor's office of housing to determine a clarity so when the housing application is complete or even when they're ready, we're not caught off guard. what happens is when the developer is ready to purchase the off site and there's little conversation so as you heard from ms. hey ward, they have 60 days to apply for the 80/20 which is the money that allows developers to develop affordable housing. very, very smart in term of that formula, 80/20. we need to do a better job in terms of we are stream lining that process. should you decide you go with it, should you let us know sooner rather than later so we're not left scrambling and members like you and i are not on the hook left to explain to our constituents why are you letting this happen and we haven't gone through the full process in shaping what this project looks like. thank you. >> thank you.

supervisor campos. >> thank you very much madam president and i want to thank supervisor cohen for the work she's done, not only on the establishment of this task force but also the report, and i look forward to working with you supervisor cohen as you explore in greater detail what the significance of that report is and how we should address the issues raised but one thing i would say is that that sort of stands out to me is we're spending millions of dollars and we have so many departments that are actually -- that have their -- you know, their hands involved and it's not clear who is really coordinating, who is in charge, and not only that but there is no level of involvement from the community in terms of deciding how the money should be spent. when that kind of money is allocated to an agency usually there is a commission that oversees the expenditure. we don't have that here so i look forward to working with you and i think this is one of the most important reports before the board and points to a lot of work needed and assessing how many resources should go into the various comm
