my short name is magda. i joined about one month ago. i'm working with san francisco energy watch and i'm in the fellowship. i'm applying to be here in august. >> welcome. >> anyone else going to introduce themselves? >> thank you. >> we'll move on to commissioners. thank you, debbie, for that great presentation. >> any public comment? eric brooks? >> okay. good evening, one more time commissions. eric brooks. directors report covers just before every realm but i want to focus on management of natural areas and pesticides. last year we wound up passing better pesticide regulations but it was understood during the process a lot of public advocates like myself are working to evolve those rules so they become even better because we're not all the way up the goal yet and may not ever be. i think we can see after what's happened with court and federal decisions on the situation in the east bay that chainsaws and poisons are no longer the way to manage our public areas. those are 20th century ways. we need to evolve the rules to reflect that.
