special events, there's a lot of appetite in the city for special events, and there seem to be more and more demand for them. many of these do not include cost recovery for the operating impact for us on the muni or the parking and traffic site. to the extent there is more of those, that creates budget pressure. most generally, a third of our budget comes from the general fund. so whether it does well or not impact our budget fairly significantly. the state of the economy can impact ridership, as does our own performance. because a quarter of our revenues come from transit fares, that also has a big impact on the budget. just kind of flagging a few issues out there that we may need to confront in one way or another in the two-year cycle. with respect to overtime specifically, we have had a couple hearings here, but that budget and finance and at gao. we have been running somewhere in the low to mid 50's in terms of millions of dollars on overtime expenditures. $20 million is planned overtime, built into our schedules. that is necessary for 24/7 operations. that obviously leaves a lot of

. >> it is a big deal special for redwood city. they're rolling up the red carpet. no president has been to redwood city in many years. he will be at the fox theater there this evening where tickets range from two under $50 and upwards of 1000. to under $50 tickets sold out rather quickly. and i doubt right now that they have any $1,000 tickets left. the president walking across the tarmac, is he coming towards the crowd? >> yes she is, right to the crowd as we speak. looking very confident, a big smile for the crowd as we have seen. and it looks like he will be saying hello. a lot of cameras out here. shaking hands. maybe he will be talking to some families with babies. i know they brought some that were crying. it sounds like that has died down. it is hard to see because there's a lot of media out here. security has been tight since we have been here. we reason late arriving. soy do not think that the president will be staying very long. his motorcade is just behind him, keeping the door open, ready to whisk him away at any moment. now, you mentioned that this is

we go back to when he was a patrol special here in the city and county of san francisco and when i thinkas part of city government, i think of what j.f.k. said in 1960, ask not what your country can do for you, ask what you can do if for your country. hanley chan has asked what you can do for your city not what the city can do for you. hanley chan's done it for the lgbt community, for the asian community, the hispanic community, the caucasian community, the african-american community. he's crossed all borders. this young man deserved to be reappointed to the sunshine board and it is my prayer and hopes you do so. thank you so much for your time. chairperson kim: thank you. >> my name's lou gordon. here here to support the reappointment of hanley chan also. hanley is really a good community servant and i'm proud to support him and endorse everything he does as a human being. he has a great family. there's another gentleman that i have a lot of respect for, also, and that's mr. wolfe. thank you. chairperson kim: thank you. >> supervisors, good afternoon. i'm tony gantener in support of mar

special use district. i believe that that is not the tool for delivering a project like this. i do believe that hospitals planning and design is part of a larger city investigation for corporate site, size, location. in this case, we are having an uphill battle for the special use district turns upside down all city policies, including the van ness corridor area plan. i regret that we have to go that way. i believe that, for many years, the transformation of van ness, which has a long history of transforming itself, into something of was supposed to become the residential boulevard, we have designed land use policies which have guided and shaped approval for design, policy, and corridor revitalization for decades. what we have in front of us was too big a move -- i am not sure as to whether we will get the boulevard we all dream about. i put that out there because i think it could have been done differently. i think that a planning department-driven neighborhood or whatever plan which would have shaped the project more are around larger city policy in a larger context in terms of planning and physical design would have been a better way to go. comm

upon generation of residents of san francisco had to endure the struggles and has made this city a very special place. that's why i'm so very excited about the leadership that presides over san francisco today. mayor lee, supervisor chiu, supervisor mar, supervisor chu and we had treasurer and also another county supervisor here with us. this ought to be a moment in which we celebrate the aspirations and the fact that we have risen to the governance of this country. and the fact that we have changed the opportunities. last night i had the opportunity to listen to an 86-year-old honoree at the simon wiesenthal gathering last night. she had spoken about how her life was different and the opportunities that were denied because she was jewish. because of the efforts of norm and mike and your leadership today and my great colleague betty yee, at the board of equalization, asian americans today are not denied opportunities because of who they look, where they come from. we are aspiring and we are leading california and america in a new generation. what norm battled for all of us through the 20th cent

with our department to obtain a permit if they wanted to part in any of these specially designated parking zones about the city. we asked for feedback on that idea. we got some resistance from operators and we also thought it was going to be quite a difficult administrative task to outreach to companies across the country, explain this permit system, collect their fees, at issue a permit, updated every year. we are not currently proposing to pursue that at this point. that is a summary of what we have done so far. supervisor mar: when you expect the mta board to finalize this plan? >> i think we have implemented the things that are feasible. i do not think there is -- most things were approved by the mta board as they were implemented. i do not think there is a need for them to come back and take a look at the entire plan. supervisor mar: you do not think there other things your agency can do to move things forward? >> enforcement is key. supervisor mar: to speak on the topic of enforcement, which is the topic that came up at the last meeting, i would like to invite -- >> i have been transferred over to traffi

baltimore is the kind of city that has a special kind of edevotion. every neighborhood is unique. the people who staid for all these years always believed that baltimore's best days are yet to come. there is no quit in them. their love for baltimore compels them to safeguard and uphold what is good and to stand firm in the face of their neighborhood challenges. none of us are willing to give up on our great city. and as mayor i owe it to the people of baltimore to focus on improving in key areas, better schools, safer streets, and stronger neighborhoods. this commitment tot fundamentals is how we're going to hold on to our residents and grow our city by 10,000 families in the next 10 years. but i plan to grow baltimore sss as much about attracting people like you, if this sounds like a commercial as it is to holding on to the families that are already there. just last year, baltimore's ranked as the number one city for new college grads and just this week baltimore's ranked the ninth best city to find a job. does that appeal too any of you? in the 90's as the national economy grew

needs or special circumstance. this is the city. even for those who are fluent in english, i encourage you to think about this challenge in a different way -- at some basic level, we know that our schools, something i have heard all our supervisors talk about -- that our schools work best if we have involve parents and good teachers, but when half of the parents are unable to communicate with the schools, is it reasonable to expect them to be able to be involved? on issues of public safety, if your house is being broken into, would you what your neighbor to be able to communicate with police so that officers could come? so much of san francisco is driven by small businesses, and many of these are led by individuals who are english- language learners or limited english proficient. their ability to access the city permitting process and to receive technical assistance would be improved if they had the language assistance, and that would be good for our city goes the economy as a whole. one last thing that i want to say on the importa
