my name is jerry dratler. the affordable housing presentation didn't include a financial metric on bond expenditures. the presentation reminds me of the annual performance review process, when an employee would tell me what they did without reference to their performance objectives for the year. i'd like to thank member larkin for clarifying that my questions were intended to be a general requirement and part of a standardized bond presentation format, that is overdue. it is my hope this year will be the year of the standardized cgoboc bond presentation format. and lastly a public perception survey is a great example of what cgoboc may do and not what cgoboc shall do. can we allocate more resource to shall do requirements. thank you. >> thank you, mr. dratler. great. >> clerk: item number 7, presentation from the city services auditor, regarding the 2016 public health and safety bond expenditures audit and possible action by the committee in response to such presentation. >> good morning. chair chu, members of

>> my name is jerry dratler. on tuesday, i sent a package to this commission. i have handed out the same and before and after pictures. in my public comment, i hope to correct some of the factual errors in the d.r. package. the first error? the third unit was not illegal. rm-1 zoning allows for three units. plan check letter number one states the revised plans showed three units on the property with independent access kitchens, bedrooms, and baths. why is the planning department saying the third unit was illegal? error number two. removal of a third unit -- excuse me, removal of the legal third unit was not permitted under permit. you have a copy of the original permit. that's not the case. the permit application prepared by the original architect does not include removal of the unit of housing. the planning department discretionary review analysis commenting that the permit allowed for the removal of the unauthorized dwelling unit is doubly inaccurate. the removal was illegal, and the unit of housing removed was totally illegal. the architect's claim that cfco
