go back to the funding for the parking garage. the parking garage, as we know, has a concourse authority overseeing it, and we're paying off the bond. how many years do we have yet to go, and how these increase fees will help pay off the bond, so the funds will directly come to this. the other issue is, in considering this is for the academy and museum primarily, how much thfees have the academy in museum been paying to park and recreation, and have those fees increased, and have they gone through -- i would like that to be analyzed when this matter is heard. i do think that should be a separate item. as far as 12.20, a share the previous speakers concern. this is removal of oversight. it was not too long ago that we have the famous president of stanford university thing with his yacht with facility expenses. we want to know how these funds are being spent and we want annual oversight of the increase. as far as part code 12.49, i think this is inappropriate, because this issue about park fees is currently in legislation, so how ca
