[inaudible] >> and the people outside, nobody come messing. >> are you finished, sir? >> huh? >> are you done? >> i have a question for you then. this is a difficult area. what do you sell in your store? >> i sell cigarettes. >> what else do you sell? do you sell alcohol? >> no, no. it is smoke shop. >> smoke shop only? >> yeah. i am broke now. we ain't got no money. only $200 to $250 a day.

what do you do for this? >> speak into the microphone, sir. >> you need to introduce yourself, sir. >> let me explain the question for him. >> may i just interrupt and i apologize for this but i'm very challenged. i don't think at least from my perspective it offers a real opportunity for me to understand your position. it would be really helpful from my perspective if you would allow a translator or if we need to continue this hearing to offer you a translator.

[inaudible] >> cowl you please -- -- could you please -- >> i can't understand. i apologize that i don't understand but i'm having a really hard time. >> he said two months ago and -- under 18 but she looked -- and it just was -- he didn't ask her for i.d. or anything and he sold it to her but at the same time he said -- he didn't sell to anybody before and he has been in business doing this job for almost 17 years and this is his first time. so he asks for you guys to give

him a chance because he didn't make no money actually in this place and he didn't sell much cigarettes at the same time for hardship he took construction. he mentioned that he lost $60,000. at the same time he is not even able to survive with the -- in payment and doesn't have enough money also to send for his family. so 25 days for him is too much. he would pay $300. -- for his violation. >> could you answer the question of what percentage of the business is selling tobacco products that he would be disallowed from doing?

whatever figure. annual. what percentage if you can give us some idea? [inaudible] >> last year income 17,000 dollars in total, everything. >> percentage of revenues derived from sale of tobacco

products? [inaudible] >> 25% or 50%? >> i make $200, $250 a day. >> how many tobacco? >> ok. >> sometimes -- >> 1%, 2%, 3%, 5%, i don't know.

he can't tell exactly because mostly describe maybe, two, three cartons a day. he doesn't know exactly. maybe 2% or 3% of tobacco. >> thank you. the store closed right now because of construction? >> no, it is not closed. it is in operation. >> ok. thank you. i believe your time is expired. is that right? >> ok. thank you. [inaudible] >> he didn't deny it. he was honestly mistaking because he thought the lady was old enough and he said he --

promises he is not going to be doing it again and make sure he asks for i.d. >> commissioners. i will -- reduce 25 days to 20 days. >> say that again? >> 25 days to 20 days. >> thank you. >> ok. is there any public comment? is there any rebuttal?

mr. aldohmi, anything more to say? explain -- you have to lean into the microphone if you do have something -- sir, sir, you should probably ask your interpreter to interpret what the department just said. the department just agreed to reduce from 25 days to 20 days. >> so you still have rebuttal time if you want to use it. >> he said he can't afford that. he paid $300 to keep the business on.

otherwise he is not going to be able to make it if he is closed 25 days or 20 days or even 10 days. he works on a daily basis to manage -- and tax and stuff like that. so it is still harsh for him to do that. >> [inaudible] a lot of -- from the outside. no problem. i do not have money from this -- and the people only crazy people. >> last month -- >> this is on the overhead? >> yeah.

>> this receipt from march and april. $oo, $100, $40, whatever he can afford to do. he said otherwise he will just close forever. thank you. >> ok. doctor, is there anything further? >> commissioners, tobacco sales about -- i don't see how that will make a difference for just

three weeks. thank you. >> but your offer to accept 20 days still holds or no? >> yes. >> ok. thank you. >> commissioners? >> the fact that the owner did not even look at or request an i.d. is a strike against and the 2% to 3% of sales to the extent that one can estimate them also suggests to me that the suspension of the recommended 20 days by the department would not result in -- would not be the cause for economic failure. for that reason i would move to uphold -- would it be an upholding of the recommended, ok. so, overturning. >> grant the appeal. in accordance with the temperature dation over the --

recommendation of the department, 20 days. >> any further commissioner comments before we call the role? seeing none, call the role please. >> on that motion, commissioner hwang, grant to suspension from 25 to 20 days. commissioner fung:? president goh:. thank you. the vote is 4-0. the appeal is granted and it is changed to do days. >> thank you. there is no further business. we're adjourned.

you are so lost. no, i'not, man. dude! i dropped my phone. oh, the road! whoa. yeah. you know what i'm saying. how would you like to save your life from an ugly reckless driving death? don't answer yet, there's more! act now by slowing down and we'll guarantee you complete satisfaction! kids: that's awesome! announcer: in the real world...

passenger: whoa, andy, slow down! because we have a great waste water system here in san francisco, we do about 80 million gallons of waste water here in san francisco, which means we basically fill up 120 olympic sized swimming pools each and every day here in the city. we protect public health and safety and environment because we are discharging into the bay and into the ocean. this is essentially the first treatment here at our waste water treatment facility. what we do is slow down the water so that things either settle to the bottom or float to the top. you see we have a nice selection of things floating around there, things from bubble gum wrappers, toilet paper, whatever you dump down the toilet, whatever gets into our storm drains, that's what

gets into our waste water treatment and we have to clean. >> see these chains here, this keeps scum from building up. >> on this end in the liquid end basically we're just trying to produce a good water product that doesn't negatively impact the receiving water so that we have recreation and no bad impact on fish and aquatic life. solids is what's happening. . >> by sludge, what exactly do you mean? is that the actual technical term? . >> it's a technical term and it's used in a lot of different ways, but this is organic sewage sludge. basically what it is is, oh, maybe things that come out of your garbage disposal, things

that are fecal in nature. it's sludge left in the water after the primary treatment, then we blend those two over and send them over to digestion. this building is built to replace tanks here that were so odoriferous they would curl your hair. we built this as an interim process. >> is there a coagulant introduced somewhere in the middle of this? . >> this coagulant brings solids together and lets the water run through. that gives us more time in the digestion process, more time to reduce the amount of solids. these are the biggest ones in the world, like we always like to do in san francisco. they are 4 meter, there's none like it in the world. >> really? wow. >> three meters, usually. we got the biggest, if not the

best. so here we are. look at that baby hum. river of sludge. >> one of the things is we use bacteria that's common in our own guts to create this reduction. it's like an extra digestion. one of the things we have to do to facilitate that is heat that sludge up and keep it at the temperature our body likes, 98.6 degrees. >> so what we have here is the heat exchanger for digester no. 6. these clog up with debris and we're coming in to -- next wet weather season so we always come through here, clean them out, make sure that we get maximum heat exchange during the colder wet weather. sludge season. >> rubber glove. >> right here. >> rubber glove, excellent. all right, guys.

>> thank you. >> good luck. >> this is the full on hazmat. . >> residual liquid. we're taking it time to let it drain. we don't want to get sludge on it necessarily. take your time. stand on the side of it. . >> should we let it release for a while? . >> let it release. >> is that the technical term? . >> this is the most important bolt on the whole thing. this is the locking bolt. it locks this thing right in place. so now. >> take your hammer and what we want to do, we get rag build up right in here.

the hot water recirculates right in here, the sludge recirculates in here. the sludge sometimes has rags in it. all we want to do is go around the clean the rags. let me show you how. take the slide hammer, go all the way through the back, go around. >> got you. >> during the real rainy season, how does that change the way dealing with this job? is it a lot more stuff in there? . >> what we do, charles, we do this quarterly. every four months we go around and clean all the heat exchangers so we don't have a large build up. . >> go around? . >> yeah.

(sound of hammering). >> what i'm trying to do, charles, is always pull it out on the low stroke. >> right. so you are not, like, flying out. now talk about clean up. . >> then where does this stuff get deposited? . >> we're going to dump it in a debris box and it will go back to the plant. >> if you think back, the romans came up with a system of plumbing that allowed us it use water to transport waste away from the hub of civilization, which enabled cities to grow. . >> you have a large bowl, a drive motor and another motor

with a planetary gearbox with differential pressure inside there. the large mass up there spinning separating the solids from the liquid. we have to prevent about once a month, we go in there grease those, change the oil, check the vibration levels. the operators can tell just by the hum of that machine that it's a harmonic noise emitted that it's out of balance and the machine needs to be cleaned. it will start vibrating and we have vibration analysis machines that will come over here and check the levels. so it's kind of an on-going thing that you have to stay on top of on a daily basis. >> handled properly, you take organic residuals, as we call them, that are leftovers of our

society and turn them back into some energy. and we have another ability to take that sludge and get a nutrient value for crops there. we actually are running a kind of composting energy recovery system. >> well, this is a dirty job. we try to do it safely and we try to do it without imposing too much on the public. people want to flush their toilets and have things go away and not be bothersome again. we do a lot to try to accomplish that. i'd like to invite you to come back any time you want. once you got this in your blood, you are not going to be able to stay away. the raging waters are fun and when we do digester cleaning i really hope you can come back. that's quite a sight. >> yeah, that sounds interesting. >> i really appreciate you coming by and it was a

>> i work with the department of environment and we are recycling oil. thank you. we can go into a refinery and we can use it again. they do oil changes and sell it anyway, so now they know when a ticket to a. hal>> to you have something you want to get rid of? >> why throw it away when you can reuse it? >> it can be filtered out and

used for other products. >> [speaking spanish] >> it is going to be a good thing for us to take used motor oil from customers. we have a 75-gallon tank that we used and we have someone take it from here to recycle. >> so far, we have 35 people. we have collected 78 gallons, if not more. these are other locations that you can go. it is absolutely free. you just need to have the location open. you are set to go.

tape 55 >> welcome, this is carl. >> great to meet you. >> great to me you, and i want to thank you for your interest and this is the city's animal shelter. and come in and a lot of people come here to adopt a animal or if they have lost their animal or looking for other animals. and we deal with other animals like birds and rabbits and you name it. this is more to see in this facility and more to see in the community. and i suggest you go with an animal control person and see what they co, whether rescuing

animals in distress or hit by a car or dealing with aggressive animals or wildlife or a variety of things. you can only get that flavor with them and doing it first hand. >> i have been with animal control for about six years, i spent a year in the kennel and then the office came up and i started doing it and it really fit. it's really the job for me. and animals i have to handle and i know what i am doing, i rarely get scared. [whistle]. we do a lot of investigations and most are not as bad as people report but everyone once in a while they are. and i had one and people h
