today which is a resolution affirming the importance of maintaining a safety net for lg bt youth and to encourage universities to prevent a bowling -- to prevent bullying. we have been touched by the incident that happened at rutgers university just a few days ago where you had where you -- where you had the student who committed suicide. two students invaded his privacy by taking -- by videotaping and private interaction he had with

a person of the same gender. there are many lesbian, bisexual, gay, transgendered people that have been harassed by their classmates and online. lgbt youths are more than four times more likely to commit suicide than their straight counterparts. in san francisco, they were 8.4 times more likely to report

attempting suicide. we are near the year 2010, you still have many teenagers and young adults throughout this country that are driven to suicide because of a trauma of being bullied. we need to do something about that. close to 90% of those students experienced some form of harassment at school in the previous year. that means almost nine of 10 have experienced harassment. we are lucky that we have a board of education has been very sensitive on these issues and was creating a safe classroom program which makes the safety of these kids a top priority.

even though san francisco unified has been working on this, there is still work that needs to be done. that resolution basically makes it clear that the board of supervisors and the city of county of san francisco firms the importance of maintaining a social safety net for lgbt youth. it resolves that the board of supervisors encourages schools, colleges, universities to increase their efforts to stop borrowing, raise awareness about lgbt youth and foster acceptance among all students.

had their quality of life negatively affected by tour buses and at this time there's further. regulation. we have worked with the mta, the police department, and other agencies to find solutions for these problems. and attracting much a station which will restrict the use of amplified sound on open airbuses. -- i am drafting legislation. we want to focus on the northeast part of the city. what the proposed better solutions for tour bus loading and parking. and requesting that the san

francisco police department and force currently existing rules that are violated by tour buses related to noise levels like the time allowed for idling and unloading passengers. i am proposing that we increase the current fined for commercial vehicle idling from terry low amounts from where they are right now in order to truly -- the very low amounts from where they are right now. we need to be responsible neighbors. the rest will submit. >> that concludes roll call for introductions. >> why don't we go to general public comment? >> members of the public are welcome to address the board on members within jurisdiction the board and excluding items which have been considered by a board

guaba >>-- >> january, 2010 was the time

line for the bond issue getting completed. at that point, the program was only half finished and 78% over budget. is there any doubt so that there can be more years of private fund-raising. if we look at the foundation, -- according to the required filings with the state attorney general, since the year 2001, the private fund raisers have had total revenues of 31.7 million. during the same time, the total donations was 2.8 million. this would not even be that high if they did not consider purchasing an election. what is happening in the current year. the donations dropped 25% from $490,000 to 378,000 this year.

the executive directors at salary went up 19% from 170,000 to 212,000. if you are looking at how private money extorts private -- public programs, the library is an example. the loser is not just a public benefit at dien diem of democracy itself. as society becomes more and more politicized, the benefits of society flows into less and less hands. thank you. >> thank you, annette speaker. >> -- next speaker.

i have lived here for 50 years. my family has been farmers since the 1860's. i am concerned that the final decision makers, that you really visit the huge but county site -- do you the county side. the debt -- to view the count -- the yuba county site. our sludge and waste goes to yuba county in the sacramento county. after the decision was made, the person who made the decision was

assets, have you visited the site? he said, no. he was then asked if any of his staff had gone and he had said no. we are progressive as a city. how can they say that this is the most environmentally friendly site when they have never gone to sea and examine the site. i'm asking that you do so. that is the number one fact. there is no agricultural land around it, this is baron hills. the other side is in the sacramento valley.

>> thank you. >> i am concerned about this new landfill waste management proposal that you will be considering. currently, we have a key companies. this is taking to a landfill and waste management picks it up from there and processes it. under the new proposal, there will be one company handling it from the curbside to the dump site. that is a monopoly. the one article that was printed about this, it was stated that prices will go up for our

garbage collection. i am concerned about this. currently, our garbage travels 35 miles and a truck to the ultimate landfill. under a new proposal, it will travel 140 miles on trucks and rail. the report does not include the construction of a railroad spur from the north and south route to into the landfill. the cost has not been concluded in the proposal -- included in the proposal. i understand that this will go to the budget and finance committee. i encourage you to go and visit both of this size before you give your final approval and bring it back to the board. thank you. >> thank you, next speaker.

fbi investigation. there is a formal complaint with the attorney general's office. i am teaming up with the center for -- excellence. we have a press conference said. this starts at 8:00 a.m. and will be gone until 1:30 p.m.. in every county in california, the crisis is such that they're using mediators and depriving people of their care not -- people of their rights. they are not qualified to make these decisions. many times, they give children to the abusers. there is no record of such. in marin county, they have destroyed evidence. they have no court reporters moreover when you go into court.

as was her husband. what she uncovered was the child protective services are full of pedophiles and molesters and she was trying to get legislation to prosecute them and lo and behold, some pedophile murdered her and tell -- murdered her. these unsubstantiated allegations. you know what is going on. senator schaefer said that she contacted other assembly people after she lost her senate seat over this because it is so corrupt that she lost her senate seat over it but she said she was glad because she was able to
