commissioner hechanova: thank you. next item. >> 9d, an update on other activities affecting the administration of the department. >> actually the hiring in of the new clerical people that will be running the system. these people were supposed to be hired in january, as we all know, and the requisitions were not signed by the mayor's office until last week. we are putting them out there. we do need people to man the desks that will be issuing the tickets to people, so it is not just a matter of whether the computer system works or not. we also have to have staff to be able to man the system. it is not going to do any good if we have something that is not going to be manned by people or have people to actually help people use the system, and that is what we have also been waiting for, so that it will all culminate hopefully before the end of next month. commissioner hechanova: thank you. any other comments? >> is there any public comment on 9d? commissioner hechanova: next item. >> item 10, review and approval of the mi
