i am teresa stricker, the general counsel for lafco.uested that we provide an overview of some options for the lafco to study hospital community benefits. and the first thing that staff requested is that i clarify what is meant by the term community benefits. that term can mean many different things depending on the context with which you're using it, so i'm going to go over a few areas that local government frequently use the term community benefits and then focus us on what we're looking at here today. sometimes agencies and other cities will in negotiating a development agreement, will -- with a private developer, will agree -- have the developer agree to include certain projects that are often referred to as community benefits or public benefits, such as the development of a park or another public amenity. for example, california pacific medical center development agreement requires the development of a variety of different public amenities. so that is not what we're talking about today, so i just wanted to clarify that. additionall
