mr. riskin or the department may be able to explain why it is necessary. supervisor kim: people understand it is an obstacle that maybe we could have meetings here, even if the room does not look its best, for the savings. that is what i got asked a couple of times. >> this whole area will be a construction site. it won't be safe for people to be entering and leaving. it won't be so -- won't be functional. desks will be moved aside. the desks would be unavailable. it would not work logistically. it would not be safe. the cost to have meetings elsewhere will accrue to the city of verdun in place that is not already set up to have meetings, such as in rooms 400 or 416. while it is feasible, there are logistical challenges in terms of fitting me via and city staff. i think city hall management -- the light courts provide a better option, much better for the public, because they are not permanently set up in this room and the other hearing rooms are for the av for sfgtv, there is marginal cost for the setup for each meeting. supervisor kim: thank you very much

mr. riskin has stated, the board will be required to move from chambers somewhere between four to eight meetings that the board has. based on our discussions, analysis, the estimated cost for such a move would be betweebetwn $44,000 for four weeks, about $51,000 for six weeks. therefore, the current -- total cost at the time of the riding of the report is -- that includes the request of 477,000 as well as the low -- relocation costs. i would also comment on the top of page 8 of the report that in 2008 there was a similar project that was considered by the board of supervisors which would have used general fund revenues. that project was not approved by the board. our recommendations on the bottom of page eight, we recommend that you amend the ordinance to appropriate 5 and $20,000 using cop funds including the subject request of -- for the temporary location. given that the relocation costs are not precise at this point, we recommend also that you place that $51,042 on reserve to go back to the budget and finance committee for initial cost details. finally, we consider approval of the ordinance
