in our opinion, the garages are unstable as far as the operations are concerned. three of them, we don't even have bonafide collective bargaining agreements, but that is our problem. we want transparency and it is very important. i believe that some of the instability is rooted in court decisions that have been made about adherence to complete revenue control that goes back some years. that being said, this should have happened a long time ago and we're not tell you -- here to tell you who these are for the we're asking for the stability to be bought about as soon as possible. i thought it would be done in 90 days. staff has a little bit longer time frame but as soon as possible, i cannot emphasize that enough. besides our members were working in these garages, i'm talking about and revenue control, a resourced that is important to muni writers in san francisco. i believe that when the stability is achieved in the coming months, this will be beneficial certainly to my members but also to those who are dependent upon this revenue stream. i cannot emphasize how impo

it's a building over a garage, as mr. smith had described. and with that, we will remove that staircase and within that we'll put a front door that leads into a staircase and to the elevator that reaches each one of the floors. a little bit more about the elevator itself. currently the building does have an elevator that has accessability only through the garage of the building. it does not have accessability through the front entrance of the building. that's another reason why we are moving that entrance to the elevator from the back of the building to the front. and that elevator also will be reaching into the garage as well in case a handicapped person comes in via the garage and can access each one the floors via the elevator itself. some comments about the church itself. we currently have about 330 regular attenders in our church. in the last year and a half we've experienced a growth in our church and that's one reason why 401 taraval became available and we felt that moving there would be a good solution to an overcrowded church that w

tell me i can't use my garage. >> then the little streets, how who is responsible for the trees and gardens and everything else there. >> in most case, it is the adjacent property owner who are responsible. so even though those, when those streets dead end, we have a lot in san francisco, they're unaccepted streets, it is too steep to build there, the street couldn't go through, the property owner, the public right of way, it is still where the street would have been. but the adjacent property owners have to take care of that area. in some cases they made beautiful gar dens and sometimes they do the minimum and sometimes they don't know they're responsible and it can get neglected. >> it is trees and gardens. >> tree landscapes, the way the ordinance phrases it, you have to maintain it in good condition. it is a little vague, so long as it is not a blighted area. it doesn't have to be a manicured lawn, but we don't want it to be overgrown weeds. >> there are recent aamendments that say you can't pave over the required landscape area, in the front setback, particularly, planning says

i believe that you awarded contracts for some of these garages and the recent past. apparently, there was some questions that came up. the people that did not get the award and those people asked questions and apparently there was some private meetings held and they decided to go back through the bidding process. it seems that there is something that is not on the up and up. the former vice chairman started asking questions. i don't know if he got all the answers. the journalist asked for some public searches and requests. he might find out -- you might find out more than you want to about why these contracts were not awarded when they were supposed to. i might take some time to ask some questions. this is and little sneaky. i urge you once these are awarded and once you have done the audits to make sure that the city is getting its due amount about what is being collected from the operator of these garages. we can make sure that there is not more being pocketed. >> think you. -- thank you. >> good afternoon, directors. i will not mince my words today. this is about
