mr. murphy. he said that if he moved it and they found problems that they would fix the problem but they would kill me for it. >> if they found problems. >> what is that old saying, trying to bring in the water? that one too much here. the issue is still the permit, not the appellants building. what i was leaning towards is that there was a right to the developer to build up to this property line. i would expected based upon my comments that i felt that the windows were not part of the commissioners concerns. this then left not necessarily the utilities that ran across a significant portion of the building in terms of the drain and meters which is where the sprinkler and gas valves were. there was a little bit of access that might have been part of that. maybe i was not as specific but i think what bothers me is the offensive nature of the response of the permit holder. and in our share that what i may or may not say in response to that. >> i agree with the commissioners about given the partisan

mr. murphy would come forward and tell us what he considers to be reasonable hours? >> thank you, commissioners. bart murphy, a permit holder. the more hours we work, the quicker the job gets done. 7:30 to 6:00? vice president garcia: i would even be willing to give him half a day saturday. i do not think that is too interested. do you feel you need the saturday? i agree with your sentiments that the quicker it gets done the better off the appellant is going to be. you need to come up here if you are going to address the board. commissioner fung: if mr. murphy offered the weekdays, i think that makes sense. we are seeing a boom of construction in the higher-end neighborhoods. i have firsthand experience with the pounding on the weekend, which is the only time i get off, you know? i think we days, if you can do it, is reasonable. 7:30 to 6:00 is a reasonable time. >> is there any way i can get an inspector to come and look at the property line? or is it too late for that? vice president garcia: for what purpose? >> just to view the properly to -- the property line, to

mr. murphy brings up a good point. the imitation of the schematic system is telling on the future adoption of the computer system. if they cannot get the simple electronic system to work, and i have a piece of paper that said it was supposed to work by last november -- if they cannot get the simple electronic system to work, what kind of a permit tracking system are we going to have? probably worse than the one we have now. thank you. commissioner hechanova: thank you. next item. >> 9d, an update on other activities affecting the administration of the department. >> actually the hiring in of the new clerical people that will be running the system. these people were supposed to be hired in january, as we all know, and the requisitions were not signed by the mayor's office until last week. we are putting them out there. we do need people to man the desks that will be issuing the tickets to people, so it is not just a matter of whether the computer system works or not. we also have to have staff to be able to man the syst

mr. murphy: there are massive deficiencies in medicare causing it to go bankrupt. one is the intravenous medication. but it requires specialized equipment and supervision and off lasts several hours a day over a period of several weeks. it's very expensive for patients to go this care in the hospital. although private plans have been covering the therapy for decades, medicare still forces people to go to a hospital where they have increased risk for infection by going there and it costs thousands of dollars for delivery as opposed to hundreds of dollars at home. that's why today representative eliot engel and i are reintroducing the medicare infusion home therapy act so the patients can receive the treatment in their home at a lower cost. our bill saves taxpayers money, about $6 billion over 10 years. mr. speaker, our proof is that this is one more way we can find significant savings in medicare than simply waiting for the program to go bankrupt. i urge my colleagues to support our bill to give patients better quality and care at lower costs. i yield back. the spea
