if acc has enough staffing to do so. acc is crucial to the city disaster planning and another animal commission and dr. o'neil could not be here but she sent you a letter outlining the importance of the work on the disaster animal response team training and for the building that holds the acc staff and animals is not rebuilt. we expect acc to shelter the animals if we find ourselves temporarily forced out of our homes and that become harder if not impossible to do if the shelter cannot be used because it is no longer safe, please find a way to rebuild the acc facility. and the control of

mission and mandates are and what our resources and adam will speak to our operating budget and staffing and those kind of issues and the work load and what they are proposing for enhancements and where to go from here. the danimal care and control is san francisco stray, injured and abandoned and mistreated animal and the enforcement of all state and local animal control and welfare laws and we will show a 30-second video that tells a little bit about what we are doing. >> animals bring out the best in us, they lack one vital gift, a voice. >> the animal care and control is an open door shelter, we take in any animal that comes through our door. >> we touch people's lives through animal. and we do everything that we can to save their lives. >> we have to, we never lose our humanity for both people and animals. >> join me, as we help to give a voice to it the thousands of animals who otherwise go unheard, we thank you for your support. >> and that is a really brief version of a longer film but it gives a little bit of an idea of what we are doing. and to talk about some of the key functi

staffing is the lynchpin to good care. but the owners are telling the administrators keep the staffing low because we want to keep those profits high. they're making record medicare revenues, record profits. anytime a nursing home comes up for sale, it's a feeding frenzy, it's a bull market. why is it so good? because it's guaranteed money. >> for brian lee - his role as florida's ombudsman for long term care meant that he went up against nursing home corporations in the state. >> if you're making multi- multi- billion dollars and somebody's going to come in and disrupt it somehow, by tracking down how you're getting paid, they are afraid of that. >> he says he was forced to resign in 2011, after flagging problems with the corporate structures and reimbursement systems. >> as state ombudsman i had this provision, the affordable care act to ask for the nursing homes for this corporate information for more transparency. i made the request, within days the nursing home industry contacted the governor, within days of that, oka

when we originally began we were a nurse staffing company.l kinds of clinical disciplines, and really we've become more of a workforce solutions company in helping our clients to manage their total workforce costs as opposed to just being that temporary provider. >> right. that's why i think it's such a better company now than when it started. terrific. thank you, susan. president and ceo of amn health care services. read the stuff. you'll see this is going to be a big star, i believe, in 2014. stay with cramer. >>> you've got to give it to john chambers, the longtime chairman and ceo of cisco. just when he convinced me that his company may deserve the benefit of the doubt, he comes out with horrendous guidance. caused my charitable trust to take a hit as i showed way too much faith in this man and his company. i believed in him, i was wrong. as much as chambers is to blame, it wasn't all his fault. if you listen to the cisco -- you should listen to it especially if you want to hear a combination late stage tom landry meets the waning hours o

>> it depends upon staffing and equipment. most of the officers that work at park and richmond station do know the exact areas where most of the people are in camps. most of the park being so diverse, there are areas of the park because of it's size and time limit, the officers don't have the time to go out there and do it. >> if the legislation passed and there were park hours, what difference would that make for the officers who actually are responsible for patrolling the area? >> if there are complaints and there are people sleeping during those hours and it's safe enough to do those, the department would enforce those as the law. >> how would you enforce it if you are not able to enforce it now? >> we are able to enforce it now because the park is closed after a certain amount of hours after 10:00 at night. >> but you are not necessarily enforcing it until 4:00 a.m.. >> it's a safety issue and lighting issue. >> what i'm trying to understand here because i know for example with alvin and captain corrals, they are issued ci

so, i have included in my amendment language that encourage the department to prioritize staffing at nighttime. i also know there are resources and want to be on record that i support additional resources to go to the parks and recreation to ensure this is an ordinance that can be implemented. i believe where this legislation will have the biggest impact is in our small parks and playground including my district. i have included language in the findings to recommend that enforcement be prioritized for small neighborhoods parks and playgrounds. i also believe in having a clearer picture of the problem. my amendments include an annual report requirement to put a number of citations issued and what kind of sight citations and the cause of the vandalism issues. regardless of today's vote on the legislative itself, we must send a strong message that the city must keep our neighborhood parks clean and safe. so, i also want to thank supervisor cohen for cosponsoring these amendments. colleagues i ask for your supports. >> supervisor yee has offered amendments. can we take the amendment with

it appears the medical examiner's office is under staffed. today the chief said in a statement to kpix5, unexpected short staffing lentenned our case chosure turnaround time. a core group of highly qualified. dedicated professionals are working long hours to meet the needs of our community. the family are not alone in dealing with these delays. the san francisco chronicle reported today that it is a common problem for the office. data shows half of the cases in the last year remain open. kpix-5. >> the medical examiner's office is supposed to have four pathologist but they have one permanent and one temporary. the city data shows it it takes more than three months to chose cases. >>> santa rosa police are invest againsting a mysterious case involving an unconscious teenager with a head injury. he was found on the grounds of mount tkpwoplry high school. he goes to another school. k about pix5 don knapp is there with more, what are you hearing? >> reporter: the police have an unconscious victim on their hands. trying to decide if it was a viole

making it meet the standards that we set that americans have the alternative way with beefed-up staffing and allowing new rules to allow individuals at the call-in centers. i think -- i'm not sure what you think you discovered here, john. >> you bypass the web site. you said all have to go through the web site. >> we have been through this. you call and have a conversation with someone at the center and give them your information and rocess it for you and bypass where the problems were happening. it has to go through healthcare.gov. i give up. >> one more thing. tell me if this is accurate, october 24. a person on the other end of the phone can get questions answered up to 150 languages as well as walk somebody all the way through the process and enroll at the end of the day. >> at the end of the day. you give somebody your information, when you call up and sign up for something and somebody takes your information and they process that, they process whatever it is you are signing up for and enrolling in. they can do that once you are off the phone. that's the point. relieve americans who

levels to be able to provide some type of staffing levels out there. it was not a sustainable position. >> during crime filled night shifts there were a dozen cops patrolling the entire city and not enough to answer the 911 calls during the day. the hand over was controversial. city hall lost control of their police department. the city activists and some charge that was union busting andlill conceived. despite the protests the camden officals pushed ahead. many veterans chose not to apply to the new force. most of the new recruits come from the suburbs. critics of the transition say young rookies like him lack the experience and the skills to deal with the tough streets of camden. >> i'm here for the right reasons. i know that. i'm here to help people and i can't think of a better place that needs help and needs police services, quality police services than the city and residents of camden. >> between may and september this year homicides dropped 22% from the same time last year and shootings are down 11%. police say it's thanks in big part to this. c

there's 155 approximately u airport that tsa provides some type of staffing. we do it as it relates to screening of law enforcement officer, no crewmembers, pilots, flight attendant. we'll do the screening function. the issue with the exit lanes is on access control which access control is just the exit lane is one of dozens of access control point around the airport that tsa doesn't provide an airport functioning. in shifting this responsibility, i understand the concerns that airports have expressed because of the cost associated with this. on the security screening functions as opposed to access control. >> yeah. and i respect that. however, it can't be done in a vacuum. we have to do it with the input of your stakeholders and congress, which signed legislation putting the responsibility under the tsa. we haven't changed that from policy standpoint and to have the tsa take this up without direction from congress i also think may be inappropriate from a regulatory standpoint. one of the other issues i have with the tsa procurement procedure for vendor and ai

the lots gives the operator an opportunity to first of all, consolidate and have a more sufficient staffing plan and also with these lots, but one of these lots, potentially coming out of play, we could have an operator and we had two and we not one of the lots, we will have an operator just operating one lot and which will not be economically very efficient and so our hope is that it would allow them to drive the bid higher. >> okay. >> and so, back to the lbe conversation and if you have and are bidding on one lot verses five lots, i think that there will be more people that have the resource to go after that contract and then the total contract. and, then my other point was why are we going from 3 to 5 years? when it seems like every time that we go out to bid for the parking lots we get more money, why are we increasing the term? >> so, that is a good question, there is a couple of thoughts on this. again this is our rationale and we are just trying to share this with you, the idea on the fao*if-year five-year is that the lots do require capitol investment and for the firms to make that

the university forever that we have staffing problems, we're understaffed. we are putting patients at risk. and they try to shut us up. >> the uc medical system says there's no safety problem. but either way, five uc medical centers and nine campuses were affected by today's strike. and just at ucsf they had to postpone 50 surgeries. >>> saving the city from super villains doesn't come cheap. just how much it cost to make batkid's dream come true. >> striking gold in one of the last places you would expect. the hidden treasure discovered in an airplane toilet. ,, ,,,,,,,,,, appears poised to reject itn contra >>> after eight months of negotiations and two strikes, the bart board appears poised to reject its own contract offer to the unions. the directors are set to vote on that proposal tomorrow. but they say there is simply no way to pay for six weeks of paid family leave that was, they say, mistakenly added to the final draft. >> anything that adds cost to the contract i'm not able to vote for at this point. >> if the board rejects the deal it's back to th

supervisors and i want to thank the deposition violence community to conspire that our office was staffed properly. today for the first time in history we have a stand alone unit that deals with domestic violence that is self-contained we have argue parallels and our versus and our lawyers all working together. navigate those men marshall kline is with us and he's incredibly committed to the day to say we no longer have domestic violence in our community. so - (clapping) so today let's celebrate all the wonderful work that's been done by let's not forget there's a lot of work to be done. there's still too many women and young imperials who are afraid to come forward. as long as there's a victim out there we're surviving as a community >> (clapping) >> thank you very much district attorney. we're so fortunate to have our mayor, mayor lee who's commitment to ending domestic violence to stop. he holds his service to the history regards he has said 90 through those there's no room to domestic violence in san francisco. he's put his money where his money is he was vested $3 million to services

we developed a six-year police staff and fire staffing plan to train san francisco's first responders. over the next two years ~ san francisco will hire 300 new sworn police officers with six new academy classes. and we will add 120 firefighters with three new fire academy classes. with with 35 construction cranes across our skyline, you can see public and private construction jobs being created every day. in fact, an estimated 223,000 jobs will be created over the next 10 years from city projects alone. for our part, we're making a sound investment of $25.1 billion in capital projects over the next 10 years through our city's ten-year capital plan. this proposed budget includes unprecedented levels of general fund sub poderth for these smart capital investments. ~ support $72 million in year one and $105 million in year two. thank you, president david chiu, for your collaboration on our city's 10 year capital plan that will ensure we strategically invest in our city's infrastructure. (applause) >> now, this budget will fully fund the street repaving program to improve streets and sid

continuing conversations about how to make share that animal care and control is adequately budgeted and staffed, mr. chairman if there are no comments from other supervisors, what i would like to do is to move to continue this to the call of the chair and then to the clerk, and to request that this item be transferred to the budget committee so that we can reschedule it during the budget schedule at the appropriate time. >> so that as a vice chair of the budget committee i appreciate that and i think that a lot of good budget issues have been raised and i was mentioning so supervisor tang that i want to work with you and supervisor wean tore make sure that there is adequate support for the acc office, and a lot of the issues that were brought up that we continue the dialogue and i was going to ask if supervisor tang or you want to make the comments? >> thank you, supervisor mar and supervisor weiner. and i think that it was very, eye opening to hear, the presentation from our city department about just really how severely under funded we are for the department and while i do appreciate the comm

there's 155 approximately of airports that tsa provides some type of staffing. we will still do the staffing as it relates to screening of law enforcement officers, known crew members, pilots, flight attendants and things like that. we will still do that crooning function. the issue with the exit lanes is on access control. >> right. >> which access control is, the exit lane is one of dozens of access control points around the airport that tsa does not provide any -- that's an airport function. so in shifting this responsibility, i understand the concerns that airports have expressed because of the costs associated with this, the bottom line for us in a time of reduced budgets for tsa, we have to find cost savings to focus under risk-based security approach on the security screening functions as opposed to access control. >> and i respect that. however, it can't be done in a vacuum. >> agreed. >> and you've got to do it with the input of your stakeholders and with congress which signed legislation putting this responsibility under the tsa. we haven't changed tha

department remains the same although the director ruskin mentioned that the board of supervisors are staffingted states we have about one hundred officers but the officers are discharged through the muni. numbers of arrests in the police department are way up across the board >> the number of - i don't have it handy but i can get it for you. no, but that's worth mentioning dan referenced with the people on the bus were so e.r. grossed in the technology of their cell phones they didn't notice the gunman. we want to tell me to pay attention to your cell phone usage. right so david's question what about the secondary market in cell phone its way too easy to move a cell phone. that's why i said you wouldn't walk down the street carrying cash. in the the first time we've actually made more robbery arrests because people prefer to traffic in cell phones than drugs it's a secondary item. so the question was don't the new apple technology the lock that makes the brick phone contribute to that. there's so many other cell phones out there but we encourage any marker of any cell phone to enable the brin

most health care staffing companies have struggled recently, yesterday they posted a solid quarter, very too. as a result the stock roared and a lot of people bet willing against it, 11.7% higher today. looks like they're cured. as demand with health care improves with implementation of the affordable health care act next year, i think the stock will benefit as an outsourcing play, although again it's controversial and many people think it's a good short. guthrie, thank you for bringing this one to my attention. i think you've got horse cents. that same night sandy in connecticut called about fly leasing with super fly ticker fly. here's a company with a 6% yield that rents aircraft to airline customers. unfortunately, it doesn't live up to the movie, let alone the fabulous curtis mayfield soundtrack. fly reports less than a week from now. i'm concerned the profits may not be so hot as current contracts have disappointed. this is a speculative way to play the industry, which i know i like. i like delta more, though. i think you need to see fly leasing results and get clarity on whether t

that's where the hotline is staffed. they call the local authorities. that's where it's investigated. >> what should we do? do we have to discern at all what we think we might be seeing? >> if someone is saying please help me. i'm held a prisoner. i need help. if someone is saying i have been mistreated, often victims can end up in emergency rooms because they have been beaten and abused. let law enforcement sort it out. we never want to put a person at risk. you want to call law enforcement and report it and let law enforcement deal with it. even when you call the national hotline and report, there may need to be several weeks or months of investigation before law enforcement can move in because they are bound by the law. they can't break into somewhere because i called. >> as unfortunate as it is, the awful way the traffic people are treated, the people who handle them, that is probably just the beginning o how ruthless they can be. we really have to be careful to not get ourselves involved. >> that's right. because it's one thing if it's an individua
