department to allow them to install the pole, and one of the reasons for the joint pole, i think mr. klein mentioned, we want to avoid having all communication companies and the utilities to insert their own poles. so we're trying to minimize poles in public right of way. so really to allow a pole it's up to our public works department to allow that to be inserted. >> supervisor fewer: got it. thank you very much. thank you. we are learning bits and bits of information, aren't we? now let's have public works, eric thrasher to talk about the utility underground master plan study. thank you. >> good morning, supervisors. my name is eric thrasher. i am with -- >> supervisor fewer: hi, mr. thrasher. >> i am with san francisco department of public works, bureau of street use and mapping. i have been liaisoning with our partners at telemon engineering study, the master plan underground utility study. i'm going to invite doug zeiring with telemon to discuss the slides. this isn't the actual study. we're giving you a sneak peek. the results should be completed sometime late august or early septemb
