daniel and he gave him the greatest rev yoution in the entire old testament. he gave him the year of the a nowthctionving of the messiah and he gave him the actual year of the death of the messiah, 4 87 years before he died. now, i can't say for sure that in two months from now on november 10th that the world is going to end, but i think there is a high likelihood that it's going to happen then because in daniel 12 it talks about this blessing that will come in 13 35 days, which is certainly related with the seven-year cycle and that will end 13 35 days. he was told secondly to go his way because he was to die and then be raised at the end of the days, whether the days, the 13 35 days. now, getting back to the 70 weeks prophecy, the 77 jubilee prophecy, it's an amazing thing. 9/11 was the sixth trumpet and it's really quite easy to

explain it and it's based on the number 666. if you count to 36 -- if i had a stopwatch and i clicked off 36 seconds and stopped that watch at 36, that's the very unique number because if you count the 36 and you add every number, you get 666, and god said, here is wisdom. him that has understanding, let him count the number of the beast, it's 666. that was the stop number, if you will, okay. when 9/11 happen, this is the easy way to figure it out. when 9/11 happened, it was after 36 70s of years from the destruction of jerusalem. now, in luke thatthv 3 when jesus was baptized there were seven synchronizations and seven rulers. that was 28 a.d., it was the sabbath year 28 a.d. when the lord jesus christ [inaudible]. >> next speaker, please.

hello, good afternoon, supervisors. i'd like to read off the newspaper headlines courtesy of the chronicle. and i hope everyone does read it. first one, i would like to urge the immediate resignation of the fire chief, the first headline in the chronicle [speaker not understood]. if anyone would read that article, you would throw up to see how a black firefighter was called "house boy" and was forced to do very menial jobs. if that doesn't qualify for resignation, the second headline, s.f. firefighter faces discipline for helmet camera. everybody in this room knows the [speaker not understood] of two firefighters. third headline, which i feel that this board has neglected

for obvious reasons, s.f. school group linked to alleged theft of [speaker not understood]. i know many of you were affiliated with the school board. so, i'll just leave it at that. next headline. c-c-s-f head has plan for $95 million concert hall. after reading that article, why didn't the mayor's office and the board of supervisors even talk about that fiasco? now, this is the greatest headline. this shows how the city does business -- does business. nephew up for sfo job despite disciplinary action. please read that one because the lesson learned is if you want to be a high-paying city employee, keep breaking every rule. somebody will cover you and

that even includes internet pornography. thank you. >> thank you. members of the board of supervisors, i would like us to remain on the overhead until i remove it. [speaker not understood] san francisco open government was mentioned by a previous speaker, city librarian luis herrera is under investigation by the fair political practices commission and several of us went to sacramento to testify before the commission regarding this investigation. over the years, mr. herrera has accepted gifts that were directly beneficial to him such as travel, hotel accommodations, reimbursement for expenses, office supplies, so forth. he has also accepted gifts that indirectly benefited him by giving a large [speaker not

understood] that he could pass out to staff members to silence them in their questioning of the relationship between the library and the friends. none of these gifts for years have been reported as required by state law or by local ordinance. they have been simply accepted and spent and kept quiet. in return, both the city librarian and the library commission have been negligent in the performance of their duties under the law and contrary to public policy. the friends have raised and expended more than $53 million between 2000 and 2012 and the library commissioners and the city librarian have nothing to show where that money went. in the effort to cover up their negligence, they have sensored and abridged public comment. they have been found in violation by the sunshine ordinance task force on numerous occasions and i have

mentioned one to you that you six months ago referred to you which you will never take up because it uncovers your own negligence. it also violated the california public records act. and in the order determination 110 83, thatses what reflected to you but ire not going to take it up because it covers your own negligence in the matter. ~ you're not going to take it up ~ [inaudible]. ladies and gentlemen of the audience and supervisors, good afternoon. for the record my name is emil lawrence. i've spoken before this commission, many other commissions [speaker not understood] to other commissions many times in the past. for the record, i think also that what do we have to do to

get dennis herrera to investigate luis herrera? are they relatives? is that what's stopping you? what's in your power to get to you do that when the corruption is on the surface? i'm not going to spend much time on this issue at this moment, but i think you should look at that. your job is to basically observe and also listen to citizens of the county. and when you see corruption, to get somebody to investigate it. very briefly for the rest of my time, i'm going to ask this commission, this board of supervisors to have a moment of silence for mr. paul courier who ran for mayor, had the guts to run for mayor, spent 5,000 with no political machine, who died of a heart attack earlier this year. if we have more citizens of the

county and city doing likewise, we wouldn't have many of the problems that we have in san francisco if it had more citizens that were empowered in such a way. so, the remaining time is in silence for mr. paul courier. i thank you for your time in this. >> thank you. any other members of the public wish to speak in general public comment? seeing none, general public comment is closed. [gavel] >> madam clerk, can you please read the adoption calendar? >> items 4 through 7 are being considered for immediate adoption without committee reference. a single roll call vote [speaker not understood] these items. if a member objects a matter may be removed and considered separately. >> colleagues, would anyone like to sever any item? supervisor breed. >> [inaudible]. i would like to sever item number 5. >> okay. colleagues, any other items?

madam clerk, can you call the roll on the balance of the adoption calendar? >> yes. supervisor chiu? chiu aye. supervisor cohen? cohen aye. supervisor farrell? farrell aye. supervisor kim? kim aye. supervisor mar? mar aye. supervisor tang? tang aye. supervisor wiener? wiener aye. supervisor yee? yee aye. supervisor avalos? avalos aye. supervisor breed? breed aye. supervisor campos? campos aye. there are 11 ayes. >> those resolutionses are adopted and motions accepted. [gavel] >> and item 5. >> item 5 is a resolution reiterating the board of supervisors's support for clean power sf, citing the board's role as the preeminent policy making body in san francisco, urging the public utilities commission to set not-to-exceed rates for clean power sf without any further delay, and promising further action if the public utilities commission fails to set rates. >> supervisor breed. >> thank you.

colleagues, i would like to ask for a continuance for this item to next week's board meeting. >> colleagues, supervisor breed has made a motion to continue for one week. seconded by supervisor avalos. if we could take that motion to continue without objection. that shall be the case to the 17th of september. [gavel] >> madam clerk, can you read the in memoriams? >> yes, mr. president. today's meeting will be adjourned in memory of the following beloved individuals. on behalf of supervisor mar for the late ms. susan heron zib ot. on behalf of supervisor tang for the late young kevin john mcguire. on behalf of the full board of supervisors for the late ms. gail bishop. ms. evelyn wilson. and ms. christine vandemere. >> and is there any more business in front of the body? >> that concludes our business for today, mr. president. >> ladies and gentlemen, i want to thank sfgov-tv and greg burk for their work.

with that, unless theretion any more business, we are adjourned for the day. [gavel] thank you for coming ou today on this beautiful summer san francisco morning. it's a little windy so bear with us. i'm with the s fm t a. i'm so excited to have you here, to have these folks behind me here but most of all to have these vehicles here. as i think about why we are so excited to have these new vehicles hitting the streets of san francisco. the first new vehicles to hit the

streets in six or seven years. it's not just that our riders will have a smoother nicer ride on vehicles that are cleaner and neater and easier to access. it's not just for the operators and the mechanics that will have vehicles that are easier to maintain, it's not just for the agencies to have increased security in the buses and better features from everything from the fuel to the light bulbs, what it's really about is when munis is working well, munis is such and important part of the city's economy that all city of san francisco benefits. all of the people who ride these buses are

really benefitting everybody because they are not out on their own vehicles in the road causing pollution and congestion. they are getting around san francisco in the cleanest way possible and really contributing to what makes the economy strong. we are super excited about these vehicles for us and for our operators and mechanics and they are really a great benefit for all san francisco. i want to acknowledge some people. i have been a member of my board of directors, my bosses, chairman to director jerry lee, ramos, i don't know if anybody else is here. mohammed the director of public works and we are going to hear a little bit about how these buses are part of the public space. just like

these are clean, we want to keep these clean. the buses here from input, from our operators, transit workers union local 258. the san francisco transit riders union. the mta advisory committee. a lot of folks working together, our fleet engineers, mechanics, supervisors, operators, most of whom are under the leadership of john who has been the driving force of getting these here. the one person who was so excited about this is our mayor. he kept saying when are we going to get to ride those buses? i'm happy to say this day is here. i would like to

introduce you're san francisco mayor,ed lee. [ applause ] >> thank you. some of them have arrived and all of them will arrive by july. i want to thank the commission and ed riis skin and the staff for investing properly. this is what we talked about for a number of years. when you realize that many of the buses that we have are over 13 years old in the city and you realize on how not only how run down they are but we keep replacing the parts over again. we have learned the lessons of fuel economy, of ergonomics and designs and free coating on there and material that won't absorb the moisture that sometimes is spilled on

there. these are going to be great vehicles, not only for the drivers to drive through our cities safely and for customers for residents who need a more modern fleet of vehicles to serve them as we attract more customers. this is where the economy has picked up and certainly the financial situation from munis is improving as they make more investments. these are the proper investments to do. they are cleaner and hydro electric. we are using the money responsibly matched up with local monies. these are great investment. this is just the beginning. these bids take a long time, the manufactures take a long time in delivering

these buses. but we'll see in the near future, the replacement of some 60 trolley cars that will bring street cars into the similar level of standard that we want. we are reif refurbishing as we speak. you see not only a modern aspect to them. you see the bike racks in front because munis is about multi-ways of transportation. it not just stopping at destination to other destination. they can take other forms of transportation. these vehicles have arrived in a timely way. we have major events that will bring thousands more people into our city whether they are going to the concerts in our golden gate park or they are going to america's cup beginning next month all the

way through september -- or they are making game day trips to the park. this will get people all around the city where they need to be and these will be the standard that we have for the future beginning now. i'm proud for munis and the commission and they are working with dpw. speaking about dpw, muhammad and i worked together and we literally saw people who realized the second the bus arrives they can't eat on the bus. so where do they toss it? if they weren't looking or realized there was a trash can next to them as most bus stops do have them. they were irresponsible. we literally saw

people tossing things as they got on boarding the buses. that's not good behavior. obviously we need to do a lot more education. we need to end that practice and we need to keep and attitude, a very spirit of keeping our public assets clean and beautiful as you see them today. this is what these buses ought to look like a few years from now. we know they won't, but we need to keep that attitude in the city, not only with our youth but everybody in the city of all ages we see them discarding waste material onto the streets. we have a crew of people picking these up and reminding folks. we wanted to change things. that is part of using the giant sweep in the world ferries that we can use that spirit. i want to thank rachel gordon and the whole public works for using the

giant sweep theme. today we have over 10,000 kids who signed that pledge. that pledge means they will personally take responsibility for their actions. so think about it. they will involve their families and talk to people. this campaign, larry said it's one of the best campaigns they have seen because they love all the players that associate themselves with the giant sweep. of course today we have somebody that i felt, when we connect up and this is where muhammad and ed riis skin is doing to connect everything. we love our arts and we are engaging some of our street artist to be part of it. sweeping i believe is here today. he's one of our sales people for this pitch but he's going to be with us and i think

you will find at some of the bus stops that we encourage some of the street artist to perform in they are going to find a medium without a word of negativity and they will point out why are you doing that? they will have an attitude for our assets and bus stops and all the other places. i want to thank dpw again for the giant sweep campaign that they are doing and again reminding people we are a world class city. we ought to have that world class attitude. you look at some of the cities across the country i have had the opportunity to travel through. the streets are very clean and get reminded that we all have to contribute in every part of

our city. that same attitude in every city is the last point i want to make today. june 6, almost 10 days ago, there was a very bad incident that occurred. a shooting occurred of someone firing into one of our buses. as horrible as that is, and we can talk all day long, everything from gun violence to violence in itself to youth violence, we are doing everything we can to prevent that. while we are doing that in the community, there are individuals that want to cease the moment and make our community safe. on that particular day, rather that run away from the incident, there was concern for a passenger on

one of our munis buses and the driver acted very responsely that they got out of harms way and drove to the hospital to get attention to one of the passengers that was strayed by a bullet. this driver is a san francisco resident, 14 years experience in the city, has demonstrated year in and out with her fantastic driving record. button this moment, she acted way beyond the call of her daily duties and demonstrated heroic effort in making sure everybody on that bus was safe and getting that particular injured passenger to some services. i want to today to take a moment to not only recognize the buses in the city, but to take a special moment to recognize and thank

the good samaritan for year and that's phylica anderson. you are really are a great demonstration. not only a loyal employee but one that has act out of very good concern for the public. it's something that we hope we have the guts to do when the moment happens. you do have the guts. you have a love for this city and i want to give you this good samaritan award for your heroic efforts. >> thank you. [ applause ] >> i just want to thank god that no one was seriously hurt.

thank you. [ applause ] >> she says she wants to be the first one to drive one of these new buses. >> thank you felicia, an extraordinary act that shows incredible courage and quick thinking and compassion. one thing i have come to realize in this job is that munis bus drivers and train operators, all operators have an extra extra ordinary difficult job, with what's going on in the bus and the traffic with the streets and with events like you just heard about, it's a very difficult job and the great majority of them do it

extraordinary well. we have professionals like felicia that do this when we have that kind of professionalism and excellence. thank you again for your great work. [ applause ] >> so, the mayor referred to these buses as investments and that's exactly what they are. they are investment in the transportation system. while everybody has lots of ideas about what munis should do and mta should do and we all want great things to happen, it's about a community investment to direct where the funds are going to go and according to rules and that leadership comes from the mta board of

directors. they are the ones allocating the resources to best serve the needs of this city. now i would like to introduce the great member of the board to come and speak on behalf of the board. >> mr. mayor lee, good morning. i want to thank my colleagues here this morning. we've all been together on this and we work very well together to keep the whole city moving. i want to thank the director of transportation. lots of things are happening in this city. a lot of things are planning for the future. but this is so exciting because this is something that people can actually see. they will see it and ride it and enjoy it from the moment the service begins.

thank john hailey for this experience. i'm glad to be part of the mta. thank you very much. [ applause ] >> thank you, mr. mr. chairman. i had the pleasure of working with him. we are very grateful to have his partnership in helping us keep these buses. i love the mayor's challenge at least i heard of the challenge that years down the road we should look at these buses to look as good as they do today. we have support from all of san francisco to keep these great investments to continue to look good. the other one is our transit director john daleey who has spent a lot of time to

get these buses to hit the streets as soon as possible in a way that they will be providing great service for us for the next decade and more. to tell you a little bit more about the specifics of the buses i want to welcome job to -- john, to say a few words. >> thank you, everyone for coming. just a couple things to point out. we heard about the investment. one of the things about our bus fleet is it carries 3/4 of our rider ship. 7,000 trips a day are done on our bus fleet. this is the transportation for the city. it's clearly a billion dollar investment just in our bus fleet. you heard some of the features today. this has additional safety features both on the outside of the bus. it has state of the art cameras, not only to help with toll

lanes and exclusive transit lanes only but to see everything on the bus. cameras on the outside to help guide the drivers as numerous people have said we've worked closely with all the constituents and stake holders to design this bus. the number one cause of munis delay. we are having these buses roll on the streets as opposed to hit the streets. we want rolling. this is a big step for us but only the first one. as you heard of other programs the help of the mayor, his administration, our board analyzed -- and the leadership of ed. this is going to make a difference in moving us forward. i will be happy to tell you more about the buses
