Also there needs to be a plan to retrofit this building to make it safer during an earthquake; •The minutes of these meetings are to accurately reflect the contents of the meeting and there are places in the minutes where it was noted that John Q. Public spoke and next to that name in parenthesis the name Mike Belenski which is not an accurate reflection of the meeting.
