commissioner walker. >> i really appreciate people coming in to talk about this. i know when we initiated this many years ago, several directors ago, had reasons for it, primarily, to provide consistency, deal with accusations of favoritism, shopping for plan checkers, etc. i know as long as i have been on this commission, my goal is to create a department that provides excellent customer service to everybody walking in the door. everybody equally. it sounds like this program is problematic. one of the things that is going to be a problem that may not be insurmountable is if we cannot deal with this serial vs. parallel issue of thing going through the system. if we cannot do that, it will be difficult to make the kinds of changes. i am not clear why it makes so much difference to have a sign- in sheet rather than being issued a number, except for that, that one is serial from station to station, whereas each station has a sign-in, as opposed to one signed in for the entire process. is that correct? >> yes, but first before information does not have a sign-in a cli

i think everybody pretty much agrees, but commissioner walker expressed something below bit different. i did not hear you make a motion. did you want to? >> i would tend not to do a continuance, coupled the order, hold it in abeyance -- to uphold the order, hold it in advance and then maybe have a check-in. let me ask the city attorney, if we uphold the order with the six months old, can we add to that, if we need, within that six months' time? if there is an emergency delay or something? >> i am not sure. i would have to check. you would then modify the order of abatement to allow the six months to complete the work, is that when you are saying? >> yes. >> if it came to you within six months, the question would be then, could you re-modify it? i think you can but i'm not positive. i would want to take some time to get that answer. >> given the fact that the goal is to do this wall, i would say a six month continuance for us to come back -- neither the wong's or my intentions client is to have the wall not being done. it is in the intention of both parties. you have to understand we a

commissioner walker was there as well. i could see you boiling and boiling in getting up to this boy. -- getting up to this point. with regard to the staff, i know this puts you in a difficult situation. i know that you are in the trenches. the acting director hui was there solve the problems as best they could. in regards to the system and q- matic system, this is a new system. as my wife always says to me -- i watched commission meetings as if they are soap operas. sad but true. the q-matic system was almost a headline for years at this commission and it was the same conversation. i did not save a lot of dialogue about problem-solving until it arrives at our doorstep. and i do not know if you could have. everybody wants to the right thing. what concerns me is, as the commission, we have to do the right thing. it would be responsible for us to ignore what is happening out there. a lot of money was spent on this, and especially in these times, we need to be responsible for every penny that we spend, but at the same time, i

. >> commissioner walker, what is going on here, i believe this is a genuine effort to resolve this year whether they come back in three months or six months -- to me, by giving you the six months, that is it. we resolution on that. that is my position, but i will lean towards the rest of the commission. i am quite okay with the six months, provided that at six months is used to resolve what we discussed here this morning in all aspects. obviously, we are concerned that this gets done before the rainy season. it would be nice to see this done by the end of the year. >> certainly. the goal was to have it done two years ago. certainly, that would be our primary goal, to get this done as soon as possible, before the end of the year. commissioner lee pointed out an issue, it is not in our powers. there are other parameters in play here. we do not want to have to say, if it takes six months and one week -- we do not want to have further proceedings here. i do not mind giving progress reports and coming in and giving you more of an idea as to what is happening at our local, but i do not want a

. >> commissioners, my name is debra walker. it i stand here in support of ross mirkarimi, ms.lopez, and theo, the family that has been most affected by this process. i paid attention. i watched as the questions were asked by europe -- by you all. this is a process that never should have happened. and everything after that fact has been created to justify a bad act. initially, there should not have been harshness between people love each other. as people who have families, you probably understand it gets to that point. but this process, especially the removal of an elected official, it should never have begun. i feel for you because it was begun and you have had to go through the process of wading through the mountains of evidence. i understand that you have the lot to look at here. and that is what i suggest you do. the facts from the people who were there, ross and ms. lopez arte all the people whose testimony matters here. what we are seeing now, and what we saw from the beginning of this case is the highly on to justify, i think, the responsible act of putting this forward.
