it proposed a 1000 man american expedition against pensacola. galvez would provide intelligence and transport and artillery powder and provision. his response was equivocal but probably more convincing was the fact that the flotilla returned laden with arms and ammunition and provisions. after much debate, american leaders decided to dispatch a much scaled-down expedition. james welling, a captain, and 1029 man went in a boat, arriving unmolested into the heart of english territory, his party captured and ravaged a number of british settlements. they also captured several vessels, one of which was later turned into an american warship. at natches, they convinced the inhabitants to sign of oath of neutrality. he might have successfully captured west florida, however the americans began plundering those not considered friends, thus creating a pool of disaffected who were instrumental in helping the british to reestablish authority. one result of the willing expedition was that it almost sparked a war between england and spain. welling's party was

so we might bring in 30 or 50 or whatever number to try and bring expedited attention to that. and at that point, there is the following that second notice of violation, as you know there is normally this monitoring fee of $52 per month, that is charged but i would say that the opportunity of getting this on track, and minimizing any type of serious cost issue, is very good. and ultimately if people are not being responsive, we will have to refer the case to the city attorney, for litigation. and as you know, we had a very small number of such cases under the unb program which was the only other mandatory retrofit program that we have had to deal with in the department. >> director? >> yeah, first of all, regarding the solar, and that we already, you know, that i already, you know, (inaudible) and our chief building inspector. and before even they passed a code by the state, the biggest issue is, you know, (inaudible) most of the time inspect and that is why we may be reading 90 percent but the other ten percent or whatever it is there is a (inaudible) and they are going to tak

because of insufficient resources, the expedition has been postponed until late july, early august of 1864. specifically august 4 and august 5. this sets up one of the iconic naval battles of the entire civil war. and the human factor here is really paramount. i want to discuss specifically how the human factor manifests itself. because it manifests itself in the two protagonists we will meet at mobile bay. i am referring to union admiral david g farragut and confederate admiral franklin buck buchanan. these two men are yin and yang. before these two figures, we must pause for a moment. because these two figures are titans, not just of the navy and the civil war, but of the prewar united states navy also. david g farragut from tennessee will remain loyal to the union. butanan is from maryland went south. we will discuss reasons in a moment. farragut had been at sea since he took a midshipman's commission at age 12. at age 14, he had commanded a prize crew in 1814 serving with his adopted uncle on the uss essex. at age 14, he is truly one of the great sailors this country has ever prod

but because of vision zero you don't expedite it. i would consider that a project, because i have seen projects where the end date was several years out. and when i spoke to staff about the need to make it quicker. somehow they made it happen. and i think that's a plus for us. >> right. >> just to piggyback on what timothy was saying. the engineer subcommittee has been conveneing and in the process of developing or drafted our two-year action strategy. among that is the engineering section, which will provide greater clarity on what we are considering is a vision zero project. and exactly what you said, something that may have been in the works already but maybe expedited and could fall under something vision zero. all of our projects really do go through that safety lens. so we would like to say that all of our projects really do support vision zero. and we will be working with our communications group to define it for the public when we promote certain projects. that everything would support vision zero, but maybe something is bran

hosted or nonhosted which is my primary policy preference, that we at the very he least provide a expedited right of action whose mission statement includes affordable housing and tenant right protections. while i don't think this amendment is as strong as the 90 day hosted and nonhosted amendment, i do believe this amendment will allow us to go after the worst actors, the actors that are permanently taking units off line and not putting them out to tenants and residents that could live here in the city, further exasperating our housing market issues. and i'll just give you a -- one brief example of that. in april of this year, the tenants union who we will be talking about later today actually filed four complaints of the department of building inspection stating that there were units that had permanently been taken off line, were not renting to existing residents, and had permanently done either full time air bnb or short term rent alley sanctionly turning those residential units that should have been homes to real people into hotels for tourists. this filed in april dbi finally held a he

again, that's why appellate courts have always expedited these cases. the next panel i think is going to talk about some of the practical issues, but there are other things in the law that affect how this goes forward. for example, the waiver provisions which we be ginn in 2017 could arguably be used by state os obtain tax credits without having to create a full exchange. they might have to do other things. there's a lot of pieces in this law, which, again, when we look at it in its entirety -- and i don't think it's true those of us on this side fail to look at it in its entirety -- reinforce states have different ways of interacting and the way our system works is that if congress makes an offer to states, states refuse, and the voters of that state don't like it, then we vote people out. that's the way the system is spoetzed to work. in my state of ohio, people don't get tax credits because we didn't create an exchange. if people of ohio don't like that, they can pressure state representatives to change that. and if because this litigation has dragge
