mr. updike and my staff on this matter. and finally i want to thank deputy city attorney carol wong for her excellent work in crafting this legislation. i am happy to go into the details. i know that we were not able to accommodate all of the requests of primarily enterprise departments. but i think in our effort to have a standardization of the city's appraisal and evaluation process have done it in a fair manner. but i am sorry if the puc is a little upset. but i know you will get over it. having said that, before i introduce some minor amendments, mr. updike, would you like to come forward and make any remarks on behalf of the department of real estate. >> thank you chair. john updike, director of real estate. as you noted and i certainly echo your thanks to lee hefner for his work and carol wong and the departments. i think we saw good amendments through the discussions. this is a catalyst for me to hiring appraisal, a member appraisal. which real estate as best we can tell in the last several decades never had on staff
