ms. kirkpatrick, i also did want to acknowledge that we have mark dellrosa from the controller's office, actually he's the acting director of audits who is available for questions. and actually before we go into public comment, i did want to ask deputy city attorney john givener to clarify the board's recommendations in this particular report. >> i was on the wrong side of the room. deputy city attorney john gibner. the report itself requests the board to provide a response. and usually the civil grand jury report requires -- with the civil grand jury report, the board is legally required to provide a response. here after the presiding judge and my office reviewed the report, we each concluded that this situation, where it's a follow-up to the previous continuity report, the board is not legally obligated to provide responses to the findings and recommendations. the board could choose to provide those responses to the specific findings and recommendations or more general response or you could choose to hear the testimony today and not adopt a formal response by resolution. >> supervisor
