supervisor avalos: thank you, mr. fried, for your work on this. we will hear from a member of the public who will talk about another type of approval voting system. i think that could be a new variable, i would like to see us take a look at. may be based on some of his comments we can look at that in terms of a system of voting that is not based on having a runoff, but also a way of calculating a specific way of carrying out an election, different from ranked joyce voting, where voters are able to talk about preferences. >> i would be more than happy to study any other system. let me know if this style has been used someplace else. i know there are some theoretical systems out there. those would be a little more difficult to actually study what they are, because it is a theory. it has not been put into place. you cannot say whether it is doing better or worse. i am more than happy to get into that discussion. i just want to make sure we are preparing current -- comparing current systems that are in use. it is a reality that you cannot necessarily

commissioner campos: i will turn over to lafco staff, mr. fried. >> the budget is presented before you in the packet. we believe we have enough in the reserve account at this point, if need be, to return funds to the city and county of san francisco that we should reserve our right, we have the ability -- once the city and county has given money to us, the city and county does not have the ability to lower the amount. they can raise the amount a time they want, but they can't flourish without lafco's approval. with the city and county having financial issues, time has been spent on a different pot of money. in future years, we need the funding source for and will have the funding source back. so the staff recommends doing that once again. commissioner campos: think you very much. any comments or questions on the budget? commissioner schmeltzer: i want to say that the process has worked well, there hasn't manhattan real -- the money wasn't there prior to it being adopted and this method has worked well in order to work hand-in-hand with the city of
