supervisor melgar. >> supervisor melgar: thank you, president walton, and thank you, colleagues for hearing this. i am really grateful to have had the co-sponsorship brains and sound being aboard supervisor peskin, supervisor ronen, and supervisor mandelman. and i know have -- we have supervisor safai and supervisor mar as co-sponsors after getting folks' input into the legislation. this charter amendment is a small down payment on the work of the reform that we must undertake for the department of building inspection. but this needs to be a charter amendment because it deals with how commissioners are nominated and appointed. we currently have a situation under prop g from 1994 where the regulators are the regulated and because there is no process through the rules committee then folks can be appointed who later we have found out are accused of gaming the system, that they're trying to -- that they're charged with regulating. so we -- this charter amendment will give a split appointment to the mayor and the board of supervisors and mirror the appointment process of a planning commission. i
