the next card i have a mark weese. did i get that right? close enough? thanks for being here today. >> good afternoon, commissioners, my name is mark weiss and i'm a writer and historian and blogger from palo alto california and i have a blog called plastic alto and i took an incredible tower of -- tour of this building. we had a very lively group and some ideas were generated. one thing that came up to plant the seed. 1769 marks the portola expedition of the spanish bho -- who started out in san diego and as a palo altoan. they saw palo alto and realized they were lost and went back to san diego. i don't have the exact timeframe but it's consistent with the same thrust that found yerba buena and eventually mission dolores. with the 250 anniversary of this breakthrough of western civilization i think there should be a regional acknowledgment of these affairs. very specifically i look, i'm familiar with your agenda today in a drought and also closely following the regent -- recent earthquake, i think it would be interesting to write 2019 port los ola and
