on september 26, 2010, dispatch received the complaint of a male blasting music at 1000 sutter st.. the residential hotel with narrow hallways and then walls is well known to officers as they respond there almost daily. this busy sunday morning stretched staffing to its limits. officers were sent to the fair and a critical incident in the northern district. the officer responded to a call at 11:17 a.m. and climbed seven flights of stairs to room 708. she approached the room with the manager who unlocked the door after numerous attempts to get the occupant to do so. she entered the studio apartment and saw the suspect line on the bed to the left of the door. his arms were behind his head. she saw the wooden handle of a gun on the floor was littered with clothing and garbage. she approached the bed with her gun drawn. she picked up his weapon and back away from the suspect. she backed approximately 10 feet while never taking her eyes off of the suspect. fearing a physical confrontation, she placed the unloaded large caliber revolvers with a 9 inch barrel on a chair behind her while ke

we have spent a lot of time on the sutter st. van ness corridor product -- project with trader joe's in that particular case, they did not have any parking. there is a good feeling about the store. i am perfectly comfortable with trader joe's moving into the location and getting a liquor license. that seems to be very much in tune with the grocery store that had won. trader joe's is a little bit different. that is a no-brainer. packaging two formula retail projects into one, i would agree with commissioner miguel. i would have expected that they would have approached us not as a package deal, but it would have understood the sensitivity of adding formula and retail of this scale, it is a question. starbucks, takes -- starbucks takes a fraction of the space of what is in front of us. i am not very comfortable seeing this all packaged in one. i would share the concern about the potential of an additional liquor license being allocated to this location. if you can buy it at one, why do you have to compete among each other? but that

i urge you to make sure that sutter health does not -- as they have done in the past, and they've tried to close st. luke's already, and he knows what goes next? i urge you to be very careful and insist that they include the inpatient care. supervisor mirkarimi: thank you. next speaker, please. >> good evening. i have work force eight weeks for 39 years. today, they are full. the icu is full. there is no place to put anybody. all of the floors are fall. it was a bustling beyond belief. we are not supported in our ability to take care of patients. we have lost many services. it is really hard to get anything done at st. luke's easily, due to a lack of supporting services. they may come in tied to a gurney. they may have a medical disorder, but inevitably, they end up -- it is very hard to manage psych patients. we closed the neonatal intensive care unit, but that does not stop women from coming in with premature labor and needing immediate services. we are not set up to deal with that. i would not say it is optimal. we can confine this to certain blocks of time. inevitably, the emergency surgery wil

sutter. i have seen their work and dedication and the passion they have for the community. as part of this partnership, st. luke's has provided many presentations for our clients and many of our activities. we have collaborated with them at many health fairs. many of the clients have benefited from their charitable programs. they were a strong supporter when they opened our child care facility in the bayview district. i grew up in san francisco, and as far as i can remember, st. luke's has always been the backyard harsco. -- hospital. i am happy to have an earthquake safe building like this in our backyard. this is though this project can be done immediately. thank you. good night. president chiu: thank you. next speaker. >> my name is -- i am a project engineer. the general contractor that was hired. i am a graduate of the training program. i am for 30 years in san francisco resident. i have a degree in

st. louis was kind of the kicking-off point for the west. questions over here. yes, sir. >> this is, this is a hypothetical question. do you think if gold were discovered at sutter's mill five years earlier, it would have been impossible to wrest california away from mexico? >> you must have been at that, where was that last -- same question. it's a good question. well, if they discovered gold at sutter's mill five weeks earlier, then to settle the war the mexicans would have turned california loose knowing there was that much gold there. my answer, again, it's a hypothetical question, hypothetical answer. my answer is, no, because the americans, the whole american army was sitting in the middle of mexico city. i mean, they were finished. santa ana's army had disbanded, they didn't have anything left to fight with. and the same was true with the californians of mexican descent in california, they had been subdued by the u.s. navy and and fremont and the california battalion. they wouldn't have wanted to, but they didn't have much choice at that point, i don't think. anybody else over here? yes, ma'am. >> your next door neighbor in fairhope, alabama, is a good frie
