IRVINE: Yes, you're right. It wasn't appointed in any manner. <br />RAY: I think how we got here is because originally we were focused <br />more on a Commission than a department. <br />HERKES: Yes, and we ended up with a department. Now I'm wondering if we <br />need the Commission. You're right. That's exactly how we got here. <br />IRVINE: Let's take it out to the public and then look at it again. <br />HIGASHI: The one other correction is the nine members representative of the <br />nine districts that we have, or do we have nine members in there? <br />YUEN: This goes back to the issue the Commission has not voted on yet, <br />of what to do with the other Commissions that have one member from each Council <br />district, if you go from nine to six. <br />RAY: I thought we had agreed that we were going to leave it the same <br />and you just come up with some language that would - <br />MARTIN: <br />earlier. <br />1 thought it was represented in the first passage that we read <br />RAY: That would basically figure out the way to leave it the same.

We can say that if it passes and we don't have <br />nine Council districts anymore, that we will keep dividing up some of the Commissions <br />using the Council districts as they existed in the year 2000. That is an option, but I <br />didn't think that was voted on. <br />MARTIN: I don't think it was either. <br />YUEN: And so, if you want to vote on it, then we can do that.
