Very quickly, I had made the same note about the business license tax. podcast-host

I guess we all went looking for that. podcast-host

Also on the unfunded pension liability, podcast-host

I know the idea has been to chip away at it and I was trying to understand about where we were because I was there in the same presentation and I know on the BOSCA board that we looked at the CalPERS and they did better this year and so we've just set aside a certain amount each year but it does change depending on how those pension funds are doing. podcast-host

It's interesting to me how the room is empty of public on something that we have a lot of control over, the money, and on things that we may not have as much control over. podcast-host

There's a lot of interest. podcast-host

You said it very clearly here, but I wondered if there's a good way for us to make the point that this is a one-time surprise revenue so that our residents don't think that we are squirreling away all their funds and not using them, if there's a way to just make the point that this was a surprise one-time larger amount. podcast-host

I DON'T KNOW IF YOU WANT TO PUT CHRISTMAS LIGHTS AROUND OR SOMETHING, BUT MAKING THE POINT THAT THIS ISN'T, WE CANNOT PLAN ON THIS EVERY YEAR. podcast-host

THANK YOU. podcast-host

Just to make certain for the public that we're really clear, this 3A, which has said increase the transfer to the public buildings capital fund, that that does not tie us to any plan at all. podcast-host

It does not tie us to any specific site. podcast-host

It is this one-time funds that we can put aside because we know that we, podcast-host

We have needs for City Hall and even just knowing $5 million to fix things that are here. podcast-host

So I think that's really important that our public understand this does not tie us to any specific plan. podcast-host

It is just funds that we know we're going to need. podcast-host

And to me, I think it's the responsible thing to do. podcast-host

Thank you. podcast-host
