i am here to tell all the new people here that all these new programs -- i am sure espinola is the only who has been here longer than i have. i have been here 20 years, when we used to go to jail for these good faith efforts. it started in my community, the western addition. i am appalled by everyone in these groups that had not even invited no one from the field no more. everybody in the city thinks it is the field. but that is where the blood, sweat, and tears started. that is where we had to stop everybody. i am from the department of regulations, a new department that is going to come to city hall would you like it or not, that will be watching all these caretakers, city build and all that. where is the mechanism to increase this agency? it is not all peaches and cream. there must be a mechanism. i have been monitoring and regulating. i do not have to have a big bankroll, a big computers, or office space. what i do is in my heart. each one of these city

espinola jackson followed by mitchell wallton and then deanze brooker. >> my main concern coming back from the november meeting is how the lines was drawn to make executive park part of visitation valley and the lines just put in illegally like i stated before and the fact there was never a public hearing on that matter and i was trying to ask one of the partners here that has been meeting with us how do we undo that because i want to make sure that it's 2011 and things that happen in my community be done the right way. i have been a long sitter there at executive park. and i was thinking maybe it would be built out before i pass away. i'll be here. i'm not going any place. so what i would like for you to do is instruct the planner who is drew the lines and it was done illegally and i want to see the lines undone. i want to thank you very much and you all have a blessed afternoon. for the new commissioners that weren't here and this came up before you got here and that is money being gotten from the developers and we never asked the developers for anything because we want to see the c

>> espinola jackson. i did not know i would be jumping up so much today. i really hope that you pass on this. 15 years have passed. we have had several directors. the process has been really, really slowed down, and like you said, things have been happening, and i am glad that i was here today so that i could whisper in my baby's ear. i have been working on this since the 1970's. i heard her say that you have been out there. we need to really get the work going. thank you very much. president vietor: ok, any other further public comment? if you did state your name for the record, sir? >> my name is larry wong. i represent the collective bargaining unit for the engineer's and technical people. the past couple of months, kerin has approached local 21. at two of the meetings, we gave presentations. last week, we talked about the work scope. at this point, local 21 supports the rfp conditionally. it was involved in the resources of the puc staff, equipment, a final review of plans, reviewing training requirements, but making sure things are up to snuff, prepar
