So we'd like to call up Carl Weissbrad, who was the chair of the commission.

Gale A. Brewer

Thank you so much.

Member of the Public - Carl Weisbroad

Thank you, Madam Chair and members of the committee.

Member of the Public - Carl Weisbroad

I'm just really here to thank you for embracing our recommendations.

Member of the Public - Carl Weisbroad

I just want to stress one particular recommendation, which is the importance of the council and the mayor making recommendations on compensation for the following council.

Member of the Public - Carl Weisbroad

Than the one that makes the recommendations.

Member of the Public - Carl Weisbroad

So it was a very important recommendation of ours.

Member of the Public - Carl Weisbroad

We, I hope, created an incentive for the mayor to call a commission so that we won't go through the inordinate and unconscionable, really,

Member of the Public - Carl Weisbroad

10-year gaps between one recommendation for compensation and the next.

Member of the Public - Carl Weisbroad

And with that, I just wanted to thank you, and I have no further statements.

Member of the Public - Carl Weisbroad

We submitted our report to you, and thank you for your consideration of it.
