i just want to make a couple points about my two nominees for district 9, pat delgado, from whom you've heard. she truly is an institution in that neighborhood and what she has done for her community goes beyond, you know, she really is incredible in terms of what she does not only for our parks, open space, but for the whole community. so i'm very grateful to pat that she is willing to serve yet again. tom valtin is not here today because he had a long-planned family vacation at spring break for he and his family. i know tom takes this very seriously, does great work and i know he will continue to do a good job for district 9 and for the two other candidates, mr. nick belloni, i know you have done a lot of good work and have a good reputation in terms of your commitment and les hilger i have had the opportunity to work with, great to see you and have the opportunity to be involved and i know the city is better off because of that involvement. glad to see this going forward. >> no objection, the motion is passed. keep our space open. okay, madam clerk. >> items no. 7 through 14 are sett
