>> for what distance? >> open rail. >> facing the light rail to the north. >> on the fourth floor, right? >> yes. >> yes. >> the frosted windows? >> third floor. >> is that correct? >> therefore in the fourth floor? >> two windows on the second and third floor and the white -- light rail is specific enough. and frosted -- we have had this

discussion before. >> yes. >> is this on the basis that you are speaking to provide additional privacy? >> yes.

>> i just need a clarification on that it is the fourth floor deck railing facing the appellant's property plaline. >> facing the lake well. >> facing like well -- light well. facing the appellant's light well. how much lettuce? >> lettuce up to 6 feet. >> that is from the deck floor. >> yes. >> 42 inch solid railing and up to 6 feet lattice. ok.

motion with commissioner hillis. >> commissioner hillis. >> we have a motion from commthis appeal, uphold the per, with the following conditions, that the windows on the second and third floor in the light well defrosted. that the fourth floor deck railing the 42 inches celebrating the end up to 6 feet -- solid that railing and up to 6 feet lattice. >> it is a minimum of 6 feet. >> of 42 inch solid railing. minimum 6 feet lattice. ok. on that motion, a vice- president.

>> aye. >> aye. >> aye. >> the boat is -- vote is 4-0. >> thank you. we can return to item nine. that is appeal 12-055. >> thank you. thank you for your patience. the parties have come to an agreement. we will explain the elements of the design. >> we discussed it in the hallway. while we still feel it was not approved >> we have agreed to go

with exhibits c, which is a combination of the two proposals. this is exhibit c. it reduces the size of the deck on this corner. the one thing we are adding to it, this is a little better, is to make the deck symmetrical on both sides. to balance it on the other side and still allow a place for them to have a barbecue. this protection is only 16 inches. on this elevation, it is 6 feet or less high. we are going to work that out.

the bottom of the wall is going to line with the windows -- allign with the wind as. the goal is to minimize the screen. >> just a clarification, it is this dryinawing that satisfy our needs and estimations. it is the sideline, not depicted -- sight line, exactly where the permit holder has drawn the person with the view. that view is blocked by the proposed wall and stops at this. it affectively eliminates any of

the view into the bedroom. that is quite satisfactory for us. on the height, we have agreed it will be 6 feet or less. less than 6 feet will give us sufficient protection. neither one of us wanted to be that high. we have an agreement it will be 6 feet. >> up to 6 feet. >> yes, up to 6 feet. >> this is based on this geometry we have. if somebody were to lean over, or to go to extreme measures. >> i think we have enough explanation. do you want me to make the motion? i am going to move to grant the

appeal, issued a permit on the condition that the quarterdeck -- corner deck is shortened and a small wall is added. >> i believe there was an addition on the other side of the deck they were requesting. >> that is going to be based upon their application with the building department. >> instead of a revision. >> why do we not just make it? >> we should. and the deck has been increased on the opposite side to create a symmetrical look.

i do not think we want to make them come back. >> that is consistent with the plan. i would like to have those submitted, the drawing you showed us. so we have something to reference. >> ok. >> as exhibit c. is that on the basis of the agreement of the parties? >> yes. >> thank you. looks great.

ho>> we have a motion from the vice-president to grant this appeal, uphold the permit with conditions stated in the record with a reference to an exhibit say -- which are referenced in exhibit c and shown in this of middlsubmittal as amended by ha.

this is done on the basis of agreement between the parties. on that motion, to uphold this condition -- >> aye. >> aye. >> aye. >> the vote, 4-0, this permit is upheld. >> there is no further business. >> the meeting is adjourned.

>> the right to vote allows us to vote for candidates or party and it is a significant way to have our voice heard. exactly 100 years ago, women were given the vote in california. the battle for women's suffrage

was not an easy one. it took more than 70 years. a woman could run for president in new york. >> organizing this conference, basically it modeled itself on a declaration of independence for women. it marked the beginning of the women's equality movement in the united states. >> at that time, women were banned from holding property and voting in elections. >> susan b. anthony dedicated her life to reform.

>> suffrage in the middle of the 19th century accomplished one goal, it was diametrically opposed to this idea. >> many feared it would be corrupted by politics. >> women in the 19th century had to convince male voters that having the vote would not change anything. that woman would still be devoted to the home, the family, that they would remain pure and innocent, that having the vote would not corrupt them. >> support gradually grew in state and local campaigns. >> leaders like ellen clark sgt

come repeatedly stopping these meetings -- , repeatedly stopping these meetings as a politically active figure. doing everything they could to ground the campaign in domesticity. >> despite their efforts, the link made it tough whenever voters were in the big city. a specialist in francisco. >> the problem with san francisco is that women's suffrage as an idea was associated. >> susan b. anthony joined the provision party. a deadly idea in san francisco. liquor was the foundation of the

economy. and >> anything that touched on the possibility of prohibition was greatly and popular. >> the first campaign was a great effort, but not a success. >> the war was not over. less than one decade later, a graphic protests brought new life to the movement. >> women's suffrage, the republican convention in oakland, this time it was the private sector response. 300 marched down the streets of the convention center. women were entitled to be here.

>> joining together for another campaign. >> women opened a club in san francisco. it was called the votes for women club. if she could get the shopkeepers to have lunch, she could get them to be heard literature. the lunch room was a tremendous success. >> it was the way that people thought about women willing to fight for a successful campaign. what happened was, the social transformation increase the boundary of what was possible, out word. >> there were parades and

rallies, door to door candidacies, reaching every voter in the state. >> the eyes of the nation were on california in 1911, when we all voted. it was the sixth and largest state in the nation to approve this. one decade later, we have full voting rights in the united states. helping newly enfranchised women, a new political movement was founded. >> starting in the 1920's, it was a movement created by the suffragettes moving forward to getting the right to vote. all of the suffragettes were interested in educating the new voters. >> non-partisan, not endorsing

candidates >> -- endorsing candidates, getting the right to vote and one they have their voice heard. >> the 100th anniversary of women's suffrage is taking place throughout the state. bancroft library is having an exhibit that highlights the women's suffrage movement, chronicling what happened in california, bringing women the right to vote. >> how long does this mean going on? >> the week of the 20th. people do not realize that women were allowed to vote as early as the 1920's. in the library collection we have a manuscript from the end

of december, possibly longer. >> in commemoration of 100 years of voting in california. 100 years ago this year, we won the right to vote. around 1911, this is how it would have addressed. and here we are, dressed the same. [chanting]

>> we have the right to vote. >> whether you are marching for a cause or voting in the next election, make your voice heard. thank you for watching. on may 12, sf posted a benefit for project insight. canadians supported the recreation programs are too sick children. >> learn more

when a resident of san francisco is looking for health care, you look in your neighborhood first. what is closest to you? if you come to a neighborhood health center or a clinic, you then have access it a system of care in the community health network. we are a system of care that was probably based on the family practice model, but it was really clear that there are special populations with special needs.

the cole street clinic is a youth clinic in the heart of the haight ashbury and they target youth. tom woodell takes care of many of the central city residents and they have great expertise in providing services for many of the homeless. potrero hill and southeast health centers are health centers in those particular communities that are family health centers, so they provide health care to patients across the age span. . >> many of our clients are working poor. they pay their taxes. they may run into a rough patch now and then and what we're able to provide is a bridge towards getting them back on their feet. the center averages about 14,000 visits a year in the health clinic alone. one of the areas that we specialize in is family medicine, but the additional

focus of that is is to provide care to women and children. women find out they're pregnant, we talk to them about the importance of getting good prenatal care which takes many visits. we initially will see them for their full physical to determine their base line health, and then enroll them in prenatal care which occurs over the next 9 months. group prenatal care is designed to give women the opportunity to bond during their pregnancy with other women that have similar due dates. our doctors here are family doctors. they are able to help these women deliver their babies at the hospital, at general hospital. we also have the wic program, which is a program that provides food vouchers for our families after they have their children, up to age 5 they are able to receive food vouchers to get milk and cereal for their children. >> it's for the city, not only our clinic, but the city.

we have all our children in san francisco should have insurance now because if they are low income enough, they get medical. if they actually have a little more assets, a little more income, they can get happy family. we do have family who come outside of our neighborhood to come on our clinic. one thing i learn from our clients, no matter how old they are, no matter how little english they know, they know how to get to chinatown, meaning they know how to get to our clinic. 85 percent of our staff is bilingual because we are serving many monolingual chinese patients. they can be child care providers so our clients can go out and work.

>> we found more and more women of child bearing age come down with cancer and they have kids and the kids were having a horrible time and parents were having a horrible time. how do parents tell their kids they may not be here? what we do is provide a place and the material and support and then they figure out their own truth, what it means to them. i see the behavior change in front of my eyes. maybe they have never been able to go out of boundaries, their lives have been so rigid to sort of expressing that makes tremendous changes. because we did what we did, it is now sort of a nationwide model. >> i think you would be surprised if you come to these clinics. many of them i think would be your neighbors if you knew that. often times we just don't discuss that. we treat husband and wife and they bring in their kids or we treat the grandparents and then the next generation. there are people who come in who need treatment for their

heart disease or for their diabetes or their high blood pressure or their cholesterol or their hepatitis b. we actually provide group medical visits and group education classes and meeting people who have similar chronic illnesses as you do really helps you understand that you are not alone in dealing with this. and it validates the experiences that you have and so you learn from each other. >> i think it's very important to try to be in tune with the needs of the community and a lot of our patients have -- a lot of our patients are actually immigrants who have a lot of competing priorities, family issues, child care issues, maybe not being able to find work or finding work and not being insured and health care sometimes isn't the top priority for them. we need to understand that so that we can help them take care

of themselves physically and emotionally to deal with all these other things. they also have to be working through with people living longer and living with more chronic conditions i think we're going to see more patients coming through. >> starting next year, every day 10,000 people will hit the age of 60 until 2020. . >> the needs of the patients that we see at kerr senior center often have to do with the consequences of long standing substance abuse and mental illness, linked to their chronic diseases. heart failure, hypertension, diabetes, cancer, stroke, those kinds of chronic illnesses. when you get them in your 30's and 40's and you have them into your aging process, you are not going to have a comfortable old

age. you are also seeing in terms of epidemics, an increase in alzheimer's and it is going to increase as the population increases. there are quite a few seniors who have mental health problems but they are also, the majority of seniors, who are hard-working, who had minimum wage jobs their whole lives, who paid social security. think about living on $889 a month in the city of san francisco needing to buy medication, one meal a day, hopefully, and health care. if we could provide health care early on we might prevent (inaudible) and people would be less likely to end up in the emergency room with a drastic outcome. we could actually provide prevention and health care to people who had no other a
