we can hear it at the full board, if that becomes an issue. i think i am going to be very comfortable appointing these, moving forward. however, and get the discussion. at this point, i would be comfortable doing that. i would make that motion. supervisor campos: i am ok with that. i would support that. one thing i would say again -- it is nothing against the individuals. there are some of my favorite people in city government, and we have worked very well together. but we all that discussion -- in some cases, there is a benefit to having that discussion at the full board. these are issues that impact the entire city. it makes sense, in some respects, that something like this is discussed by all 11 supervisors, not just the three of us here. i would look into the issue of the authority of this oversight body. even though the powers are prescribed by state law, the resolution does go beyond what state law provides. there are good reasons for that, but we need to make sure we talk about that. the second point is the level of involvement by the co
