ms. rogers. mr. adams? >> so, as ann marie mentioned, the planning commission last december approved an update to our procedures manual and that update really codified a series of best practices and lessons learned over the last five years of managing the program. we're very pleased to, to have inclusionary program which is really considered one of the best around the country. and i want to recognize shondra eagan who is here with us to answer questions to really bring in the program to a level where it attends to a lot of need in the city. so, the planning commission approved the update to the procedures manual. it included a number of modifications that require adjustment to the planning code through legislation and that's what we're here today to review with you. in addition, we're taking advantage of the legislation to do just a couple of clarifications that result from the recent passage of prop c. so, what i wanted to do is first kind of walk through the modifications and clarifications related to our

ms. rogers. >> ann marie rogers, planning department staff. so, we did get a copy of the digest from your staff. so, we think we could look over the ordinance and publish a written report by next week on the 18th for hearing at the planning commission the following week, the 25th. unfortunately there is no hpc except for the first and third wednesdays. that's why we get the first time we could bring it to the hpc would be the first. [speaker not understood] to date so far the hpc has acted every time we've brought an ordinance to them. it is within the recommend many of reason they may take action on the first reading. did they take action on the reading on the first, that would enable board to make any amendments that were in your ordinance at your next board land use committee hearing. >> supervisor kim. >> again, my preference is that the legislation that i introduced does get fully vetted by both the planning commission and historic preservation commission, especially i would also love to expedite my legislations in general. i do find that
