>> my pleasure. >> we'll shoot for 6 weeks. >> thank you very much. >> is there any public comment regarding this issue? >> hearing none public comment is now closed call the next line item. >> line item five all matters pertaining to the item below. >> any public comment regarding confidential litigation matters that we'll be handling in closed session? >> >> i'm like many of the other bodies in this city who have closed sessions you have met the minimum requirement for at least stating the cases you are going to talk about. in many cases like the ethics commission they say they are going into closed session to discuss something confidential and the brown act require that some minimum amount of

information be given on the agenda so people of reasonable intelligence can read it or not and whether it would be to their benefit or advantage to attend so i'll say having the cases listed is very appropriate. i do, however, always have concern when certain things are handled in private and concern over whether or not and you can like this or not, whether or not the members of the commissions when they discuss things in private are honest about when they come out of it whether every single thing they discussed in there was confidential and non disclosable i have a hard time thinking everything uttered in these discussions is something that can not be disclosed at all and keeping things secret

from the people. the ethics commission recently took me to task and said mr. hearts you make it seem like we're trying to hide things and i said i'm not making it seem but i'm saying you do try to hide things you hide what you don't want to be seen. occ is nothing but a cover a fig leaf for police misconduct. they investigate cases and the people who filed the complaint have absolutely no rights to see anything regarding the complaint all they get is a letter saying charges not sustained. an faitdecomple and so as far as a citizen is concerned, they can lie through their teeth and the citizen would never know it and i think

honestly many of these things where you go into private sessions and have these private discussions are really done for the purpose of minimizing the damage or potential damage to the city and protecting officers from their own misconduct. >> any further public comment on this issue? if there are none public comment is now closed. >> item 6 with regard to item 7 a and b san francisco administrative code section. >> i have a motion? >> moved. >> thank you very much ladies and gentlemen we're now moved to closed session. annual celeb

>> good afternoon, everyone. this is a pretty thrilling day that for us it's another milestone in the progress of connecting the great city of san francisco from one end to another about economics development and about clean environment, pittsburgh that's about building consensus i'm sure the mayor will agree he served as the che administration officer it to took years to get this to a third street rail of central subway thousands even if hours of volunteers coming together to make their point of view known. we've been here 5 wants on the

total of this project but making progress again and every step of the way all along i'll say whoever we were appealing to our hopes are riding on the third street rail and our hopes on the street subway for all to be a model to the country of economic development while we improve the quality of life and sflrs customers and create good paying jobs that's today is a sad day because of the loss of robin williams i was oncoming over mayor we were together in 2012 with another phase we are that altogether with ray la hood the secretary of transportation and while we were listening to each other's speeches we were on our i preponderance watching the

last of the games to dorm who would be in the playoffs and while we were celebrating the; correct construction we were cheering the victory of the giants that day to go on to the world series and robin williams was a great giant fan my daughter christine right-minded me in after 2001 that was by and large the first time god bless america took place some may have done is but a tradition across our country and robin williams was a great giants fan but in 2004 he sank god bless america urging the 7th ending stretch we've lost a genius and san francisco has lost a great

friend we made contributions to life. two weeks ago on the steps of the k358 the democrats launched the jump start to create good paying jobs in our country a rock the entrepreneurship begins in the classroom to make college affordable and early child onsite hood evaluation affordable and in some ways when with yes, ma'am succeeds america succeeds a version of growing the economy by this each week this week is make that on america where we say we want american made companies invest in good paying jobs here in america by removing tax credits

to send jobs overseas what is what the law is now, it's ridiculous we want to over turn that with the savings we want to invest in building america and building the infrastructure and that means roads and brigades and cr=certainly mass transit and water supply and broad band the infrastructure of the future so this the the job the parlor we're sthifls all over the country what better place to start where the innovation has begun it's begun with the consensus over time with the community involvement i've said to the city i want to give you every option but if we allocate the sources we need the dirt to underlie this consensus building over time has been very, very

central to our success and, of course, the recovery act that president obama took the lead on made a difference in getting hundreds and hundreds of million dollars nearly a billion dollars for the completion of the project while it started local it was local and state funding under the leadership of the leaders today, i'm honored to be here with the mayor how important this jump start for the class is and how important building infrastructure is to the jump start. roadway there's a installing felt be middle-class because of the stalling of those kinds of initiatives h initiates we want it to be non-barn we know the american people overwhelmingly support an nishlt that improves

the quality of life and to get the products to and from work and employees to and from home and again to clean and protect the virnlt as we create jobs we have have to build consensus i salute the people in san francisco for the rolls they've played over the years really decades to make many of the projects that are emerging now projects so that's consecutively the quail valley and hunters point and the transbay terminal with the enter connections with the parkway and the longtime in the planning and consensus building many of them possible because of president obama recognition this buildings infrastructure of america is essential to growing our economy with that, i'm pleased to give this podium oh, by the way, did
