i welcome the thoughts of my fellow commissioners, with respect to the hennessy declaration. commissioner liu: i agree that the job duties of the sheriff are at issue, so it seems like both parties are agreeing that is an issue. whether we have competing and differing facts about that, i think that is relevant, and that should come in. chairperson hur: any dissenting view as to the admissibility of the declaration? like we did last time, i think we should do is not take a vote on every one of these, but at the end, we will take a vote on all the decisions we are making. i would ask ms. eng or mr. emblage to help us keep track of the decisions we have made. >> it seems to me it probably would be better if we did, for example -- i think there is no objection from any members of the commission to the introduction of interim sheriff vicki hennessy. we have an awful lot of these we are going to have tonight. some may get lost. i think if there is not any objection, or if we agree with your ruling, i would prefer that we indicate on the record that there was no objection. chairpers
