my village is a member of the new york rural water association a nonprofit associate of small and rural monday asking about my availability and i happened to be traveling back to castleton last night for a trip related to my day job. my village is typical and representative of communities that have water supplies in new york and the rest of the country. according to the u.s. environmental protection agency the state of new york has 2305 community water systems, 88% serve populations under 3300. all of them small community and sewer utilities have to comply with the same regulations testing and certifications as the biggest cities. we have to operate, maintain and update our water infrastructure with very small budgets. as a small community mayor my number one concern and worry is drinking water and number two is waste water. everything else is a distant third. if there's a problem with the drinking water it has to be addressed immediately. middle of the night, middle of the winter it doesn't matter when. every citizen and especially the most vulnerable depend on the safety of the water

the property qualifies as a historic resources with the association with the longshoremen's association and has a district association with the 1934 general strike and other events such as the shootings that occurred outside of the building known as bloody sunday and the property is a resource. as stated in the documents the building was not found under listing two for persons and because of the lack of association between the building and in individual includes harry bridges. while he was a member of the union and one of the organizers of the strike the building doesn't have direct association with harry bridges or union members or leaders. without evidence to give connection between them the department stands behind the determination that the property is significant under one criteria. please note that even if the building had been determined to also be eligible for this under criterion two for person the evaluation of impacts would have been be conducted in any different matter and the department would conclude no changes to the building so the changes along the embarcadero the depar

here's a map of the noe valley association benefit district. it was formed back in 2005 and the initial assessment budget was roughly $230,000 and to expire in 2020. in terms of operation, debra who is here with me will present more on the accomplishments of the cbd. their main service areas are public rights of way. district identity and street improvement and incorporate operations. in terms of financial bench marks, obw covers bench mark one. it's budget amounts for each certificate vase provider was within ten percentage points from the management plans. bench mark two, whether they meet -- in comparison to the budget. bench mark three, the variance between budget amounts for each certificate vase category within ten percentage points from the money spent. and whether the funds are cared for into the fiscal year and the budget being spent for those items. in terms of bench mark one, the noe cbd did not meet this requirement in the following fiscal years, 2009, 11-12, and 13-14. the explanation for 09-10 was the cbd received grant money whic

the korean association owed about $510 million. japanese real estate developer marunaka hollings brought the property last year for about $19 million. they said they would ask the association to vacate. but they resold the property for about $34 million to another real estate firm. former upper house lawmaker mediated the deal. he said maintaining a plate for the association is a crucial issue between the two countries. he added he sought out a company that would lease the property back to the korean group. >>> officials at the japan football association are taking action against the country's national coach. they've decided to fire javier aguirre because of his alleged involvement in match fixing. the spanish court has accepted the prosecutor's complaint against aguirre. the allegation dates back four years to when he coached spain's top league team real zaragoza. >> translator: we want to avoid any influence on the team as the members prepare for the 2018 fifa world cup. we've decided to terminate the contract between the jfa, an

california truckers association is right here today with an example of their rigs and their commitment to working with us, the entire private sector and the utility companies and others working with all of our departments with a program that is designed to focus on at least for the next two years a very deliberate effort to look at the way our urban large vehicles are traveling and going in and out and through our city and neighborhoods. this is important to us because we realized that at the very start that while there maybe in terms of numbers of collisions less each of those collisions are very severe whether you're a bicyclist a walker or a senior or a family that if you're in the unlucky situation of having engaged with these large vehicles your chances of coming out of that is going to be very, very little, and we realize that this is one of the most important things that as we are experiencing a very strong economy in san francisco with all of the developments, not just downtown, but in our neighborhoods, people rehabbing their homes, small businesses rehabbing and from fires an

this enemy must be opposed they must be killed, they must be destroyed and associated extremist form of the islamic ideology must be defeated wherever it rears its ugly head. some who counsel patients arguing violent islamists are not existential threat and say they can be managed as criminals. i respectfully and strongly disagree. i've been in the theaters of war in iraq and afghanistan for many years. faced this enemy up close and personal. i see first-hand unrestrained cruelty of this enemy. they may be animated by medieval ideology but they are thoroughly modern in their capacity to kill and maim as well as precisely and very smartly message their ideas, intentions and actions via the internet. in fact they are increasingly capable of threatening our nation's interests and those of our allies. furthermore, it would be foolish for us to wait until our enemies pose an existential threat before taking decisive action. doing so would only increase the cost in blood and treasure later for what we know must be done now. our violent and extremely radical islamist enemies must be stopped

certainly we associate it with baked goods. if you're into biofuel, you associate it with ethanol. it is an old plant utilized in ancient times. we believe it was found in the southeast asian arctic pallidus -- archipelagoes. it was moved around in ancient times and able to find its way to europe by the middle ages. anecdotally, we believe christopher columbus brought it from the azores to the new world on his second voyage to the new world. it ended up being an important plant economically in plantations, grown predominantly by slave laborers. first in the caribbean islands and then later on in south america and the gulf coast of the united states. it is fascinating and reflective and solemn to think about the history of this plant and the wonderful resource in terms of sugar it is capable of providing us. also the dark and sordid history of how human beings chose to cultivate this plant in terms of utilizing it is one of the main pillars of the slave trade. and really having it be a resource that drove what we would call now today a negative aspect of human history where we utili

so i think our job as governors and certainly as leadership of the national governors association, is to make sure we do everything we can to bring down that barrier of non-trust. you can trust us. we are pretty smart people in the states. where doing some good things. in fact, in many ways, much better than a collective work that comes out of washington dc. which, and probably most of our views, they're trying to do too much. we might fall down skin our needs, but we will pick ourselves back up again and find solutions. and we will end from each other. it is a wonderful system. we need to bring back some of the trust from the federal government to the states. and that is part of the job. if we can do that, i'm very optimistic about what the future will bring. >> what you think of the -- governor hickenlooper: go ahead. governor herbert: he is kind of a shoot from the hip, tell it like you see it kind of guy. and i think he speaks for mayor giuliani, himself, and not for many others on this particular issue. i know there is frustration that comes, whether it is efficient with the exec

it is to be expected while your associates profit handsomely, the parents the children who live these field who live next to them will pay a price from the chemical combinations that will inevitably circulate in their children's bloodstreams as they breathe, swallow, or ingest, through other means. at last month's meeting january 15th, 2015, dawn kamalanathan and management urgently the promised the commission to explore alternatives. as the record shows and as miss bonilla and othered when the chemical risk was first brought to their attention. the record also shows that the rpd again kicked the can down the road in 2011 and 2012 with the same promise. shortsightedness or denial of the propses or symbolic gestures risk passing on a significant burden for the next generation to have to deal with, perhaps after you all plan to have left your positions. based on data supplied by your associates, san franciscans to-date have awarded tens of millions of dollars by you to your associates accumulating over 34 acres of these tire chrome installations within city boundaries containing chemica

he is not associated with the buildings. the ceqa guidelines that has the building be historic based on this, clearly says there is an association between this building and the person. that states that a person that lived and worked in the building for a long time. there is no evidence that mr. bridges was in there all the time and the more issue that the strike events were the historically remarkable issue that really determines this building historic resource designation. it is as we noted on papers and you have in the document we submitted, mr. bridges, the artifact building has a commemorative plaque that says harry was in this office building. he wasn't even in. it doesn't matter. that's where he was. we don't believe this building should be an historic resource just because mr. harry has a relationship with it. we think based on the fact in the record, based on substantial evidence, not argument not speculation, not guesswork. the bases for this building to be historic resource in the events which were localized for yo

is a special certification, special training that is conducted that is embraced by the truckers associatione this training program adheres to the special needs of a very congested urban setting like san francisco. this is what vision zero recommended. we are implementing that today. we are requiring all of our truckers be they city employees or the private sector go through this training and make sure that the drivers themselves understand how to go through a very congested urban setting and pay very close attention to the pedestrians, to bicyclists, not just having the right to go through a light, but taking the extra precaution just as we have been training our pedestrians. doesn't matter what the light color is anymore. you've got to look both ways. you've got to understand that people may not be paying attention. the congestion in the streets and intersections are so high and people are distracted with so many things we've got to pay attention to a higher level of safety in the city and that's why i endorse this effort. i am proud of all of the departments to begin doing this in a very

i then worked for the mississippi water association as a circuit rider for ten years. in this capacity i visited every one of the delta approximately 500 small communities to help them with their water and sewer problems. currently i'm working for about two dozen small delta communities assisting them with their water and sewage utilities. i'm honored to be accompanied here by the mayor of one of the small towns from mississippi. the town has a population of approximately 1,200 persons. the mayor challenges are compounded by the fact that as a small-town mayor he has a full-time job as a truck driver and has to handle much of the city's issues on his free time. his community has little professional staff because they simply can't afford it. the wastewater system is failing because of its age and inability to meet its current treatment. the cost to update the sewer system to be compliant with approximately $2 million. the drinking water system needs an additional $1 million in upgrades. the town was recently fined by the department of environmental quality for failure t

also, my understanding is there will be some type of independent audit that the association of bay area governments will be strongly supporting as well. for facts, i think some of you know that this employee of the financial authority for non-profits may have embezzled approximately $1.3 million of funds that were supposed to be designated for the soma stabilization fund for infrastructure, streets and parks in the south of market neighborhood. leaders from south of market testified. my hope is with our hearing and also the work within abag and finance authority for non-profit that san francisco will be made whole and especially the neighborhoods that need the funds. the south of market neighborhood as well. thank you. the rest of a will submit. >> thank you, supervisor mar. >> supervisor wiener. >> >> thank you madame clerk, along with supervisor campos and presenting legislation that is groundbreaking and the very first of its kind to put protection in place for lgbt seniors living in facilities where really they are particularly vulnerable, because they rely on others for necessary c

how would you define associated persons or force fess you were me? >> i guess i would look at it and take it pretty much at face value, senator in concluding that that language likely allowed for the possibility that other networks, maybe not even formal groupings, but other networks might align themselves with isil and as we know, right now isil and isis is in conflict with core al qaeda and the al nusra front and the designated al qaeda affiliated operated in syria. >> so core al qaeda or al nusra would not be included in that definition because they're actually not associated with isil? i mean that's my belief and i think that's what you just said. >> i'd have to check, but i guess what i'm saying is when i look at the words associated forces i was thinking ahead to the development of new allyiances or new alignments that we can't foresee today. i wasn't trying to say that anybody was in or out that definition, inside or outside of that particular definition. >> i don't want to take more time than i should but today we have to base looking at this

i mean our group is made up of associations from around the country. but i think it's important for perhaps states or local jurisdictions that would be resistant that if a state enacts a collective bargaining law, all it does is provide the option for workers to represented by union if they choose to. no state legislature can compel anybody to join a union or to force a sheriff to recognize a union if the workers don't want one. the other thing i think that's important to emphasize, because it gets -- ties into this same i think, level of resistance sometimes that the related issue of a national law enforcement bill of rights. one of the frequent criticisms is, well if we have that in place, the union in place, i can't get rid of a bad cop, a dirty cop, the brutal cop. and that's just not true. i think speaking from my own experience, but from cases where i've worked with police officers who did the right thing and were wrongly accused and police officers who did the wrong thing and were properly accused. when you have the framework that's in place it

i'm cap linkline director of the national adult protective services association. a membership organization which helped found the justice coalition with a seal funding. we created the advisory board on elder financial exploitation on which i'm proud to say philip marshall served. elder abuse is a huge expensive deadly problem but one that is largely invisible. one in 10 older persons which is about 5 million people is maltreated twice the number combined number of child abuse and domestic violence victims. it kills. victims are three times more likely to die the non-of these cohorts. it's expensive costing individuals their families financial institutions and taxpayers billions of dollars annually. over 90% of reported elder abuses abuse is committed by the victims on family members especially their adult children and finally financial abuse go occurs often with physical and emotional abuse and neglect. congress held first hearings on elder abuse in the 1970s but only recently thanks to the elder justice coalition fielder justice act the justice coordinating counc
