so we do need you to right away to make that request to the board. it could be done through an sfpuc m.o.u., but that process has been pretty clunky in the past, so it might make more sense to just have the board to directly -- direct the funding to lafco to do a build-out plan so that lafco could take the lead on that. sfpuc and its staff have done a good job of getting the program off the ground and keeping it alive, and that's what they need to stay focused on is this competition with pg&e and making sure that they're giving costs -- cost sensitive reliable service to customers. we need the board of supervisors and lafco to direct the build-out process because that's a bigger picture thing that the whole city family needs to be part of, including agencies like the san francisco environment. so let's make sure and right away to get that bigger budget request from the board of supervisors, however you decide that you're going to do it, we need it to happen so that we can get this off the ground and get what the letter is asking for by this summer. th

the parole board have received criticism in the past.rboys fiasco that the parole board went through when they attempted to release that repugnant individual. the parole board back then have the opportunity of releasing pitchfork, but because of representations i made to the secretary of state forjustice, they acted politically as a parole board and chose to delay listening to having a hearing for colin pitchfork. the parole board are not short of playing politics in this too. they had the hearing back in march, they sought to get other evidence from prison authorities for the simple reason that in law, they are trying to make this decision gr proof and what that means is they're trying to avoid any criticism by way of a judicial review. let me be very clear, this is a provisional decision, it now moves to the hands of my colleagues and governments and the secretary of state forjustice who are now going to be contacting and pushing for him to exercise this right to demand the parole board reconsider this decision. we have had actually wo

the condo board gets the report. the condo board then needs to communicate that to the condo residents and need to make it clear enough that they are concerned. my concern was it was diluted. the board got the report, it was scary to them and they asked for a second opinion. they called in our building official to come over and talk to them about it, and from the reading of the minutes, our building official said to them, you're okay, it's okay. i wasn't at the meeting and i don't know someone who was at the meeting. all i know is what the minutes reflect. they may have heard what they wanted to hear. he may have been trying to cause them not to panic, but i certainly think there needed to be more urgency. we can see from the follow-up e-mails that he communicated to our town manager that he talked to the board and they're working on starting their stuff for 2021 to do their 40-year certification, but there was no sense of urgency communicated. where did that message get lost? >> it sounds like from him. to be honest
