. >> and have there been vacantcy since you have owned the building? >> there is one vacantcy and when they have looked at it and i believe that the previous owners had done some work in one of the other spaces that became i guess vacant because they looked and it the foundation was down. >> and so, still unreinforcemented brick? >> partial. >> this side of the building because we wanted to double check, what happened is as soon as they left the space we knew that there is basically is a combination typical combination of brick and concrete forms of foundation. so we did not know at that point in time whether or not it was brick or not. what we did is we opened the space and low and behold it was a brick foundation. >> i am more concerned about the space that became vacant. so at that time, did you check? >> we did. >> and so that area did not require any structural modifications? >> no it did not. >> thank you. >> you mean your seismic only applies to one quarter? >> absolutely not. if we could we would look at the entire space as a whole because that

rose's suggestions that filling the vacantcies is critical. what are you doing to fill the vacantcy as well. >> i would say over the last three or four months, we have actually taken 50 different actions to fill the positions, some of those were back fills resulting from internal promotions but we are being pretty aggressive about filling the positions. many of the positions that she mentioned are in the process of being filled right now. >> okay. thank you very much. any other questions colleagues? >> okay, seeing none i guess that we will open up to public comment, on three and four, any members of the public that wish to comment on these items, seeing none, public comment is closed. >> from my perspective i would say that the one comment that i get time and time again is the need to have more staff at planning and handle backlog and so forth, so i am very supportive of this notion, i would associate myself with the comments of the budget analyst as well. however and i do agree that especially as we head into the budget season we need to be

forget that it is a basically a 2 to 3 year program and when it is done, then they move on to fill a vacantcy as a gardener and then we are able to backfill the spot. so, we would welcome any additional apprentices that you feel are appreciate to keep, 4, 10, and 9 clean. >> supervisor campos. >> i have a question and i appreciate the program, and i think that is a very important part of this. i just had a question about mcclarin park and supervisor cohen noted the importance of that as a regional park and it involves three different districts. i was looking at the score on page 38, and there was a pretty significant change in terms of the scores in the first quarter as opposed to second quarter and then quarter and fourth quarter and i was wondering is that because of additional work was done. or i was trying to understand that. >> you know, lidia you might know more but that is one of those things supervisor where you see on any given day that it is a snapshot in a moment in time. >> yes. >> and so i am, you know there is subjectivity with the evaluator and who knows what they saw that day

talking about just the real estate revenue that you obviously improved here and it is a combination of vacantcy and rental and we have not talked about it here but at some point improved delinquency. >> right. yes, i don't have those details, but it is based on real estate's analysis of current or how the market is currently looking. and a turnover, and that sort of thing. okay. >> so basically, if that is the case, i would say that this is probably more of a conservative side and i think that we all understanding what your aexceptions are and hopefully you show us a more positive picture and the revenue that we can generate the more that we can manage to control. and knowing that we have to invest the better off we are. is kind of what i called the jaws. and the revenues like this and the expenses go up like this. the jaws effect and that is always a good sort of indicator of the future. i think that is going to be a positive. and i think that at some point, probably to think out of the box and the revenue sources could probably be in. it is hard for the public properties and naming the opport

before they moved in there was a vacantcy, i knew what the condition was because we had to do the work on the foundation. i think that they saved the money and rushed in the tenant and hoped that they do not find out how bad it was. i was a tent ant from 1978 to 88. >> thank you. >> tan, you have three minutes. >> i would like to add just to the point that she just made that when alan purchased, the building in 1986, it was owned by multiple parties. there are three are four parties that owned the building and everyone had to be in agreement. and secondly i think that prior to the 1989 earthquake there was not that much of a push, you know, on land lords to do any type of work. subsequent to after the 1989 earthquake there has been a lot more discussion about what can we do to make building safers and that kind of addresses why this was not taken care of when this space was vacant, 22 plus years ago, i don't know the exact, like the full details, but i do know that this was this building was owned by four people and in 1989 people were thinking what else can we do about that? and anoth
