commissioner covington: all right. thank you very much for your report. >> president nakajo: thank you, commissioner covington. commissioner veronese. >> commissioner veronese: chief, that picture of you is priceless. i'm not going to ask who you were on the phone with. >> with the chief. >> commissioner veronese: okay. that's a great picture to be used at another moment. getting to this narcan, july to september 2019, thank you, thank you. this is great information, and it shows that from july of 2018 to september, we've more than doubled in narcan administration, and it appears to be some sort of a spike in april -- straike that. it goes in april from may to 181, a huge spike. i don't know what's going on on the streets, but clearly, something happened at the end of may that could cause that to -- would cause that to spike, and i'm not sure if the department of health has this information but if they don't, we should probably give it to them because it paints a picture of what's going on in the streets, and it would be great to know what the strategy is because these numbers have gone up. it's gone up to 214 from then. i

commissioner tanner: sounds like it may be coming from p.u.c. property to other people's property, so that may be the issue. >> clerk: thank you. commissioners, this matter's submitted. >> commissioner tanner: i have not heard any testimony that would lead me to believe this permit was not properly issued. i would move to deny the appeal. >> commissioner honda: just because i was smiling and making jokes does not mean that i'm not taking this as a serious matter. this particular project has undergone quite a bit of process and just by the amount of dollars per hour in this room, i think there is going to be a significant amount of eyes watching this project alongside with the departments which whether we like or don't like, we have to have faith in our city departments and their abilities to make things happen, and so i would concur with my fellow commissioner. >> vice president lazarus: as would i, i'm content to let the normal processes take their place because i haven't heard anywhere here tonight that would encourage me to revoke the site permit. >> commissioner tanner: and just to the woman, you gave testimony just wondering how things would be caught in light of the previous c

based on your observation, commissioner richards. >> it is. >> i would support your asking for a further pushing out of that particular item. >> commissioner fung. >> commissioner, perhaps we can have a separate vote on that particular item. >> i am happy to do a separate vote. >> commissioners, i think what he is saying we thought we could handle it on the 14th of november. i think that gives staff enough time to come up with the information we need. in the calendars, part of the reason that calendars are full and they are short is that projects pulling out or get continued. it is hard to know that in advance. i just want to say that the 14th could work and we could get the information to you in advance. >> shall i call that question then with the exception to 21a. >> yes. >> on that motion to continue items proposed except for item 21a. >> so moved commissioners that passes unanimously 5-0. is there a motion for 21a. >> commissioner richards. >> move to continue to december 19th. >> second. >> on that motion for item 21a to be continued to december 19 december 19th. roll call]. >> so moved commissioners that passes 4-1 with commissioner fung voting against. i
