when the board receives notification the board member can contact the department head to find out what is going on. a board member can call a hearing all before the department requests a provl and even potentially before $250,000 of work is being done. you you are right, it doesn't speed up time in which the resolution will get to the board and potentially be approved at least, it allows the board members members to use the board's power of inquiry to find out more. >> may i ask a question director nu rv u, the budget analysis said 60 days, derequired because it can take that long -- what can can you tell us on the day of an occurrence versus three days later, or two weeks later? >> i think you spelled it out whennage emergency happens we don't really know what the full costs are involved in the emergency and we won't know for -- it could be a week, sometimes it could be longer depending on what the emergency is. when you have an emergency that is above $250,000 it is a serious emergency. and to complicate things those types of projects but notify you, does give you the ability as we h

the second area we consider for policy decision to the board is the threshold amount. the threshold amount written in the code is currently 400,000, it does have a cost of living adjustments every five years, as a result. the current threshold is 440,000. they're proposing this go up to 600,000. the threshold amount is used to determine a number of things. one who does the work? currently under the threshold amount either city employees can do the work or the work can be contracted out. above the threshold amount, the work needs to be contracted out. the second area is whether formal or informal bidding requirements are imposed under the threshold, informal bidding, and above the threshold, formal bidding and the third ayeah, who can accord the contract under the threshold amount, the department head can award the contract above the threshold amount the mayor if it's dpw or the commission is required approval for the other city departments, those are the main areas having to do with the threshold amount, however, there are lots of prosituations in chapter six, that giv

when the emergency happens, however much the amount is the department heads, and the board members can work together to figure out a way to talk through the likelihood something is going to be over 250. the ordinance requires -- or the proposed amendments require that the department submit a resolution to the board to approve the work within 60 days, that's not -- that's the outer limit so if there is work that is done, and it's clearly going to cost millions of dollars, the department head can submit a resolution. the next week. and it could move through the board process quickly that is really something that i think the board could impress pom department heads is important to you. >> just for clarity, the other thing is i don't know if it's more appropriate po put in the language, if there is a clear expectation that this emergency could potentially be over the thresholds that's when we want to be notified. i don't want to be notified if it's below the threshold is that better to insert into the language if there say reasonable expectation that the amount will exceed or a reasonable

the board believes that the project protects the relative affordability of existing house, this board should have made that motion. not a motion about the design. i am not asking for a motion about the affordability of 437 duncan. which like the soundsness of the property, has been conceded by the llc that bought this property in 2011 for sale price of $560,000. what this board's motion should have dealt with is the relative affordability of existing housing, the other existing properties on the 400 block of duncan. homes opened by my neighbors. homes considered relatively affordable. the proposed project is replacing a sound and affordable single family home with the project that 2986 net square feet with the gross square footage of 3544 square feet. this project is built as proposed can easily threaten possibly more homes on the street. if this project is built as proposed to reduce the over all square foodage, will be the largest most expensive single family home0÷ 4y on the 400 block of duncan street. it will precipitate a major up tick in the price of and the likely loss of exist

then the board >> 2011 >> what did the board do with this? >> i could be wrong, but i'm pretty sure >> there was an earlier version. similar kind of ordinance of this that was trying to simplify the third party reporting, i believe the recommendation of ethics, was to do exactly this delete this provision, because it duplicated state law, the clean up is to try to get rid of state law in a number of places in the code. the board didn't act on that ordinance for a few reasons, among others i recall it eliminated the commutative contribution before mccluchin -- i don't recall this question coming in this ordinance. but mr. bush may >> it's redoneundant i can withdraw that. >> i would agree with you, they're minor in the overall grand scheme of things, we put it in there for a reason, but people can disagree in terms of -- our experience with the surrender stuff, just as an fyi when people call us and ask for information, they're asking for who is spending the money and how much they're spending that's what they're asking for, what we try to do i
