deputy city attorney jon givner. >> mr. givner: deputy city attorney jon givner. so this item was sponsored and it was introduced by the mayor and president cohen. it will authorize the city attorney to file a validation action regarding proposition c which passed in the november election. the board adopted a similar ordinance in july authorizing the city attorney to file a valuation action for june's proposition g. as you know, questions have been raised about whether proposition c in november and propositions c and g in june required a 50% vote to pass for a two-thirds majority. this ordinance will authorize our office to seek kay judgment that proposition c in november required only a 50% majority to pass. >> president cohen: that's great. thank you. so just as a question to you, deputy city attorney, how long does this process take before the city can expect to hopefully be able to drawdown and spend this revenue, this money? >> mr. givner: that depends on a number of factors. we expect this ordinance if it comes out of committee today as a committee report to

i want to recognize jon givner, who has been outstanding. i have a little something for you. it's under $25, thank you, supervisor tang. jon givner, a little something to lift your spirits. thank you, you've given me great advice. in the event i have disagreed with the advice you've given me, i have found advice somewhere else and you have not held it against me. thank you. your phenomenal city attorney and although ben is not here, harvey, those two gentlemen are also institutions that have served san francisco for a long time. i think ben said 25 years, 20 years, a very long time. started as a young, young man, now he's just a young man. and harvey rose. i love this man. he is so funny and witty and charming and i love the fact that when it comes to controversial issues it's always a policy matter for the board decide. one thing that i can always, always count on is that he will give you real information. he will do the work. he will find the numbers. and he will present them in a very fair and balanced way. as a budget legislative analyst, you could not ask for something m

givner: deputy city attorney jon givner. any amendment you make today will trigger a continuance in this committee to another committee hearing. you could make an amendment extending the set aside to the 2040-41 fiscal year. the -- the other proposal you have to add in an additional review in 2030, we haven't yet drafted. we could draft it for the next committee hearing, but with charter amendments, we want you to be voting on something that's written in front of you because they're so difficult to change, so i wouldn't want to come up with that on the fly. >> supervisor yee: that would be my -- i would love to see a 20-year period and have a ten-year evaluation, but that's going to cause a delay in passing this out of committee. i don't know if supervisor kim, if you would have any objections to that? >> supervisor kim: no. so i am making two amendments to the charter today, so i'm expecting a special committee meeting on monday. if the committee so chooses to make that amendment, we can make that. just so you know on page
