i would like to invite up teresa sparks to say a few words from the vantage point of her position. we have heard from stakeholder'' about the initial draft of our legislation. i hope and think it's a better place today, but i would like to give an opportunity to say whatever you would like to say. >> with regards to the amendments before us, it sounds like it would not substitute for the amendment. >> i have been told that because these amendments narrow the scope of who provided the preference that they are not substantive. with regards to the amendments we have not included -- these have arisen at the last few days at that they are not substantive. the city attorney is looking into how they should be drafted. we should make the concept of these amendments today and not sent it to the full board for two weeks and that would give us time to tighten up the language to make sure it to file for public review. supervisor chu: thank you for that. i think there is a benefit to making sure we understand what is out there. >> thank you for the opportunity to respond to this. the commission
