city wide problems and partially agree the city's inability to manage these projects in a centralized function could benefit from reporting relationship between the city, cio and department c cio's. number 11. allowing common ict xurchgzs addressed and performed by department by department basis has lead to duplication and unnecessary spending. for this i agree. addressing by individual departments is the reason for duplicative efforts and spending. finding 12. the plan does not include ongoing operational activities and prior funding. for this i agree. the five year plan is a strategic plan and focus on operational activities would be helpful. find be number 13. there are no consolidated budget and staffing plans. partially agree. while there are some efforts there is no accountability and it's not clear who is responsible if spending decisions are not met. now let's get to the first category of recommendations. moving to -- there were a number of recommendations that came out of the civil grand jury. we were specifically asked to respond to a number of them. recommendation number two is the budget analyst for the controller perform manageme

it is not idle curiosity, we served the city for 43 years between the two of them and then they were sum marry removed after blowing the whistle. thank you very much. >> hi, i just want to... i just want to bring your attention, again to the fact that i sat there all of these hears, every single one of them and the memo that is from the san jose city attorney does not... is not detailed in our discussions. david pilpal and i agree on almost nothing. and he has extensive experience with that sunshine ordinance. and he sat on the task force before and he has been through many, many origins of it and he had brought to your attention, again, the same thing that we discussed. that there is some correspondence in there that does not fall under the investigatory process that the city claims everything is under there. and indeed, doctor kerr brought up again, but in some instances they just wanted to know if anything had been done, they wanted some dates. there was money that was found indeed to be missing and it was replaced. and the people who found it to be missing we have no idea what ha

the original plan -- one of the weakness was there wasn't connection between the department and it is bigger goals to achieve as a city, so there wasn't the direct connection between departmental initiatives and spending and koid and with enterprise systems and collaboration and the things that we spend auto meetings i of in in the last 60 days and the revised plan which will come next year is making that connection. certainly you could do it through organizational structure and easier to tell people to go interest one group and fall into line and even though i like that simple approach and i have seen others suggest it and it not go anywhere. one thing for koid -- there is one belief we focus and manage they're on time and on budget and i think that is important, but perhaps the bigger challenge for coit and the subcommittee is clearly articulating the goals. one email system as the vision and how does it align to that vision? i see now a laundry list of what departments do and not what coit does and i understand that we don't want to punitive for not participating and all of the projects are important, but in the ne

the 124th meeting between city and poly today at m and t bank stadium.earned its first win over them since 2007. also today, mock do notting -- mcdonogh knocked off loyola. and big game from a newcomer here, tony donatelli. three goals and an assist in his debut. i think he will stick. and millwood, another rock-solid performance. two more home games next week. please play with us. it's oysternomics 101. you start with a u.s. senator named ben. by helping restore thousands of acres of oyster beds, he kept hundreds of oystermen on the job... which keeps wholesalers in business... and that means more delivery companies... making deliveries to more restaurants... which hire more workers. and that means more oystermen. it's like he's out here with us. he's my friend, ben. i hope he's your friend, too. i'm ben cardin, and i approved this message. >>> john, you're keeping an eye on something again, huh? >> looks like another storm could develop. but where exactly it winds up when it qums up -- comes up the coast, wednesday looks like the key day. maybe thursda

the fewest number of edges needed to get between two cities is called the "distance." a diameter o3 means no more than two transfers. when edges go away, connectivity generally decreases. these statistics get at the large-scale structure of the network, but what about small-scale properties, the sort of "clumpiness" of the network? one way to measure these properties is to show, for any given node, what fraction of nodes in the graph it's connected to. another way is to ask, "what is the probability that it's connected to any other node?" a node connected to a large proportion of the graph is a hub, like an airline hub, which is on average connected directly to more cities than non-hubs. this is a sile notion of clustering, but there are more subtle notions inspired by the considerations of social networks. there, instead of asking how likely it is that i'm friends with a random person in the world, we ask how likely is it that two of my friends are themselves friends? in network lingo, we're asking how likely is it that two nodes connected directly to me are themselves

between departments but still a good chance to achieve. i will say partially disagree. finding number 27, a department first perspective, not the city wide perspective, intended in the administrative code has resulted in lack of coordination and communication between the departments and for this i would state agreed. the fact that these projects have taken so long to take forward is the attitude that perminates city agencies. next i also agree and it's difficult to move departments in the same direction. 29, department heads and cio's don't grant the authority for them in the administrative code as governing their own plans and actions. for this i agree. finding 30. neither coit or the cio believe in their ability to enforce these policies and initiatives and i patiently agree with that statement. while coit likes to behave they have the authority to enforce policies and initiatives because it's a diffused body there is no one to hold them accountable. the last finding there is no secure or immediate consequences for departments failing to implement in city wide initiatives and meet time lines for compleetion. i agree. there are no

the office of the mayor seems to believe what we're asking are a formal tie between the city cio and technology, leadership within departments for common city wide activities already exists as is stated in the response. has he or his staff really talked to the department -- really talked with department technology leadership or the city cio about this? we did. much more than one time and with much more than one person. it does not exist. the mayor's office says it exists not only in technology, but in such city wide services as finance, human resources and contracting. we would add capital planning and others. these are services the mayor states which are managed by the them and the central agency but that is not the case with technology as the may or's office believes. they choose the candidates they want to hire but work under the policies of hr. they have people working on personnel managers but not in the way leaders perform the role independent of the city cio or td. departments spend money but make sure they don't ignore what the controller requires. there are people that work

come. >> don't vote for people who do ugly things. >> reporter: we've heard the back and forth between city hall and the unions. >> we'll be fighting them. >> reporter: tuesday's city council winners seem to be deepening the divide. the union tried to knock out herrera to gain control of the city. >> they reversed the work on pension reform. it was the meanest, most deceptive campaigns ever run. >> we want them to be one of the most honest council. i don't think we have that right now. >> reporter: she says there needs to be more willingness to talk. as the court considers the half a dozen lawsuits, they need more options and the voters are on their side. >> the governors, the water boards, the counties, all of them passed. the mayor said, we're not going to bring it to the voters, it's not going to pass. every single one of them passed. ours didn't because we didn't have one. >> reporter: as the election closes, these union leaders are already banking their hopes on the next one. >> four to six years from now we expect the court battles to be done. before that, there will be an opportunity

we'd be happy to facilitate conversations between city college and puc and other large housing authority, other large landowners with the car share companies to the extent we could help see more car sharing in those areas. i think putting one on-street space as an island, i think is going to always be a challenge in terms of getting that critical massive usage to get the utilization to where it makes sense to have it there. i think we need to help seed that demand and perhaps using some of these spaces, city college, hunters view, the sewer plant, those could be great ways to do it. so, we're happy to work with the car share companies and those land owners to try to get more car sharing outside of the on-street. in any case, we want to pursue the on-street as well for the reasons that we discussed. they're visible. they're everywhere. they're perhaps more sustainable because they don't go away the way parking lots do. so, i think parallel strategy of both on-street and off-street legislation supervisor wiener has introduced, all of those are pathways to get more car-sharing in san franci

even put more checkpoints between cities there simply dividing the country making it impossible for the palestinians to create their to create their own country or establish their own country and the bit at the un there's really is a readiness for and the palestinians they have the tax money that they're withholding and they can do even or take more measures against the palestinians and is obama willing to maybe exercise pressure and as well that's something that a lot of people think well you know you have to lobby you have the congress you have a lot of players here not necessarily that's not going to be the case not in the not in the first year at least was just seems like obama could at least condemn the fact that israel is violating international law by building an encroaching on post and then just like the rest of the international community france and and all these countries are saying we don't we condemn this we don't agree with this so for obama to just kind of sit back and just totally ally himself with israel is just i think an insult really and you know let's see if anything

want the public to be assured we're concerned on these things and we feel that the partnership between the city and the warriors and the port, everybody has the best interests and we will work very hard and we believe there is time to get to the answers and meets the schedules so we will remain oft mist i think on that behalf and the process is important to us. we are going to respect it. what happens so far is not disrespect to the process for the community and we just need to do a better job and make sure we can communicate what you have and how we are addressing those concerns on behalf of everybody involved here so i have a couple of specific questions. one i just want to understand in the resolution we're talking about creating a performance benchmark for negotiating the conceptual framework so jennifer or brad if you can explain how to give a better definition of that. >> yes commissioner. so the exclusive negotiating agreement is a document that really governs the negotiation between our development partner and city staff, and you approved a resolution authorizing city staff to enter int

celebrating the relationship we have between the city, the neighborhood and the sea services.ter way to celebrate the rich maritime history than being here today and i would like to say that third fleet dialed up this weather for you, but that would be selfish on my part. i can tell you as a sailor entering into a port such as this, it makes you feel like coming home. and as you'll see today, the ships are recreating a path that has been crossed by millions of sailors dating back to our world wars, the golden gate bridge for many of them was the last thing they saw of the american soil and the first they saw when they came home. for us today, showing that recreating that path way if you will, it's a huge complement to the city for the way that you have always embraced our returning sailors, marines and coast guardsman that served forward and are finally coming home again. the parade of ships is a visible display of a partnership between the bay area and the sea services that has been strengthened. just this week, we brought together military leaders, local and state leaders an
