i experienced all the issues of blight that this ordinance addresses, but the code was not enforced. repeated attempts to have the law enforced resulted in nothing. this is a good neighborhood and did not attract the people that would have normally come in. when the police were summoned to shut the doors and inspect the property, there was no posted notice so they could not contact the owner because the sign posting requirement of the ordinance had not been respected. so the current name, address, owner of record, authorized agent, was not noticeable. there was also a notice of default on the property. the lender's name, telephone, and address was also to be made available. none of that was. if i could get the overhead, i would like to show you some information i have. i would like to mention that the property was not maintained, windows were out. skylights were broken. security was nonexistent. i am concerned about the fact, though there were many reports, the inspectors did not come in deed, come and see these things, nor did they repair them or cite them. i am particularly interes

they are expecting the world has to recover from its incredibly low return rate that we are experiencing in the current year of under 1%, so, yes, i agree that there is some significant variance. you see a quick bounce back, and another cycle down in the years after. these are the treasurer's assumptions. because of the revenue source we are applying, the rates are small, it does not have a material effect on the bottom- line numbers, but it is a good point, and it is a curious trend. supervisor kim: the other question i had was undermanned and concessions, why there is such a drop. it is pretty steady. then, just for that one year, it is -13.9%. >> that is up on some further research after your question last time -- there is a specific revenue source coming into the recreation and park department that is scheduled to expire. it is a prepayment of some parking garage spaces, so once the one-time benefit expires, it causes a one-time loss which is then more steady growth going forward. supervisor chu: thank you. >> we are back to it to answer some of the questions that the board have had,

"don't go to the hudson river. go to the upland and work by gravity." and that's what new york city did. they first went to the hudson highlands, but 150 years later, it went to the delaware highlands. and really diverted the water that normally went to philadelphia to new york city. i don't think they anticipated that. narrator: the majority of new york city's drinking water comes from watersheds in upstate new york. a watershed is the area of land where wate
