the record, as well as the Board of Appeals. Do you have any sense of what's a realistic time frame, and I'm not asking you to speak for the Department of Public Works, but obviously, this is something they've been speaking to, and are very familiar with it, for four, five or six months now, so does it seem reasonable, say, if our next meeting is within two to three weeks from now, that we try to agendize and get everybody at the table and try to hammer some of this out? GOLDSTEIN: 1 think so. I actually think that the sooner the better, just because it is a major kind of shift and so, it would be better to get as many of the different perspectives as possible, before you keep on going. RAY: We had a meeting scheduled in two weeks. I'm going to suggest to the Commission that we move it three weeks, the last Wednesday in the month, so if that's agreeable to this group, we'd try to bring it up.

So any more questions for the Planning Department at this point? Thank you. Let's take a little break, four or five minutes. Then we'll go into Finance. RECESSED The Chairman called a short recess at 6:20 p.m. RECONVENED The meeting reconvened at 6:26 p.m. RAY: Let's reconvene the meeting. Continuing with Unfinished Business, we have the Director of the Finance Department, Harry Takahashi, together here today. We've received in the past, several written communications from Mr. Takahashi, and we just recently received an elaboration on those where he furnished us with some suggested language, or whatever, so hopefully everybody has those. We have this updated communication dated September 8th, Charter Commission Presentation, so I can refer everybody to that. I guess we'll work off of that. Mr. Takahashi. 25
