we're asking to fill that position. we want more positions, but the 52-41 list, the engineers that do the plan check is the list under concern, because the previous list that we did have approved requisitions for, the people will not -- were not suitable to the hapacting the deputy's list. now we have a new list. we have exhausted all of the engineers we let go before, so actually we are getting more engineers then we have in the past. we will be filling the 52-14 vacancy. we have asked for that, and i have asked for every 52-41 requisition that i have for this year. we're not leaving the engineers positions vacant for attrition. we're leaving other positions vacant. you have to realize i have to leave at least 25 positions vacant for attrition. that is just something the comptroller's office or board of supervisors does -- excuse me, personnel list, they will take and say you have so many positions and they have to keep this many positions vacant. the will have to take the money out that we programmed in. commissioner

hopefully we will be able to get these positions filled. but because we're so far in the year, we will have some savings. we are projecting a little bit of savings in on personal and materials and supplies. a very small percentage of the budget, but we expect to have some savings in that area as well. we are continuing to see more issued permits, both in volume and in the evaluation of permits, which is why we are seeing an increase in charges for services. but everything else is pretty much what we expect to see this time of year. in terms of the financial report, we are in good shape. commissioner hechanova: commissioners, questions? >> that was an excellent update. >> i

, and we're filling them this year, and it will balance out. by the end of the fiscal year, we are allowed to replace positions that we about to replace. it will balance out, because most of the engineers, the projects that are coming into the fifth floor, some of them do not require that the engineer to be on the fifth floor. so there is a very mixed on the fifth floor, which right now there are more inspectors and engineers, but, who oversees the fifth floor, brings engineers into the over-the-counter process as needed, but most of the engineers to the plan check on the second-floor. >> i understand that. but then we're pulling people from the second floor to the fifth floor, which means something is not getting done on the second floor. >> i understand commissioner lee's concern. fifth floor is the shining star for dbi. it has been incredibly successful since it was implemented that is what just minimal staff. they have been understaffed all the time. every indicator that i see, especially in san francisco, is construction is going to increa

the jobs that our country needed filled. what do we do now? do we accept responsibility for creating this mess? recognize that we have an experienced work force that has been providing critical services for years? obtain legal status to help the country succeed or do we attempt to throw out the experienced work force and millions of new workers through a government controlled program that has never worked in the past? i mentioned it before, but i need to mention it again. how can you think the answer to our labor needs is to deport workers who are already here and know what to do and when to do it just to ship in millions of government approved workers every year? the proposal is asking taxpayers to spend billions to deport the experienced workers only to require farmers to shoulder the cost annually. it doesn't make sense. it won't work. we already know the results in those states where action has been taken. tremendous loss. we have seen it in georgia and alabama. university of georgia estimates because of resulting worker

but the power to fill all vacancies that may happen during the recess of the senate. there is no dispute. i put this to you. there is no dispute that the senate was in recess when the president made the appointments in question. i believe that is uncontradictable. the senate was in recess. the question is whether it was an adequate recess. in duration, to justify the use of the recess appointment power. let me begin as a formalist -- from a formalist point of view by saying that there is nothing in the text that limit is the duration of a recess that triggers the president's power of apoilt. appointment. it has ban matteen a matter of accommodation that presidents have not exercised the reezcess power when the senate was going to be quite promptly available to advice and don't a nomination. and -- but that is as a matter of a combination. even if there has been a recess of 37 days, if the senate is about to return and will be available, many presidents have thought, there is no justification for a recess appointment when the senate will soon be available. so the quest
