thank you very much. [ applause ] >> hello, my name is richard rothman and i support the motion to postpone and look at more options. i'm more concerned about the fees. i mean, when are they last year in the budget, the retirement system asked for more staff and one of the reasons for asking for more staff was to do their own investment. so, why, you know, i think we should have more of our own advisors, their loyalty to us and not to have consultants who work for who else they are loyal to and i would like to hear a report from the president or the executive director when the president found out that angels had a hedge fund in the cayman islands and if there was a conflict and if not, why wasn't there a conflict. if they are going to make 9 percent after net, how much will we make if we didn't have consultants and we just in vested the money directly without having to pay the hedge fund their fees and they get their fee before they give us their fee. i would rather have people on our staff and maybe pay them more at least we know they are looking after our best interest and beneficiaries.

i have one card and that is for richard rothman. >> good morning commissioners. am here to talk about the mothers building. i have been here before talking about it and i am happy to say that the grant application that the zoo, the art commission and rec and park from the historic preservation fund which is the fund that was set up with whoever owns am blooming dales because they dook down the stain glass in the empourium set up the fund for preservation assessments and rec and park and the others were awarded a grant for over $100,000 to do an assessment of the building, and i wanted to thank dawn for stepping up to the plate and making this grant application happen and coming to the meetings with me, and talking to the preservation group that rec and park is serious about fixing up this building. these murals are just absolutely beautiful and so hopefully the study will take about three months and in the spring then we will know how much money we need to fix up the building and thanks to everyone. >> thanks to you. >> is there any other general public comment?
