when you tax something you get less of it when you incentivize that you get more. one way to pay for the grants slid unemployed workers collect it if there willing to move. the u.s. labor department executed a small grant. the job search and relocation program involved 40 different offices. different offices offer different assistance ranging from -- in 1981 analysis found wages for those who relocated were higher. local state and federal levels provide tax incentives for worker training. similar staff should be given to employers. differing rules for programs like medicaid create a major barrier. while section eight housing vouchers -- a long waiting list is against that. high housing costs is a reason that others don't move. i maybe have 40 seconds left. high housing costs is a major reason they leave robust job markets. in atlantic a lot pointed out that states like texas that has lester laws have high rates. city should loosen these. wall street journal found that in nebraska there around 990 jobs available but only 65 homes for sale. the state is considering i

from the perspective of the startup activity, we did not incentivize the venture world in a bigger way. from my perspective there is great opportunity. you want to attract millennial's from that space as well. .>> talk a little bit to me, how could you speak about the important training programs for the chronically unemployed that could help aid the growth of our economy? >> so, the stigma associated with technical training for a place with a four-year degree could be difficult for today's youth. the growing costs of post secondary education, young adults are beginning to recognize the technical careers could play in reducing or preventing student loan debt and starting them on the path to financial independence. successful training programs need to take advantage of this to entice other young adults in their field. students do not respond well to schools and counselors pushing them toward technical training but appreciate the experience of their peers in the generation who has been able to do this within their career. i think these organizations that exist, they have to make them more

from my perspective i would be incentivizing big business to get these people moved. that to me are tax credits, tax breaks, go ahead and the people. think about it right now their people in the country who the house are still upside down in pockets of the country. so the idea of moving or maybe junks down to seattle, it's untenable because your house is still $50,000 upside down and you're working two jobs. these are huge problems i think. i also think to the problem that ms. dine schmeisser has, i think you're really talking about great education and market at the educational of k-12 and we need to change the way we educate people and we need to let them see the future of what can happen in a job markets. we're going to a very digitized economy and is going to move far faster than we ever saw. economy moves to the industrial revolution. it's going to move in 15 years with industrial revolution took us 35. we want to let them know that through spot education that are great opportunities, and for them in other areas in other industries. that's why would start because

i made reference to fair changes to incentivize ridership. generally, our affairs index with inflation as well as all of our fees and fines, d's at sevet seven changes are deviations, mostly downward deviations or new products. i won't go into them all, but they reflect a few different themes. one is transit fair projects that we think are overced based on declining usage such as the monthly pass and some of our visitorpa products. also, using greater fair differentials to incentivize people to move on to clipper, and union -- and many mobile. they proposed for a new adult a pass and this would be to target more infrequent writers but give them unlimited trips essentially for the cost of two rides. so these are things that we are doing to reconcile our affairs with a where we see demand is but also to incentivize more transit ridership. there is some risk in our budget, as well as the general funddgetbu in form of the potential repeal of senate bill one. the signatures for this measure for november have been submitted through the secretary of

and also child care, understanding that to incentivize p.d.r. development in the city is to create public benefit as well, to allow things that create public benefit. if you can allow office, which is something that will generate income for the project, which is a publicbefit. so just wanted to submit that for your consideration. >> supervisor tang: thank you very much. any other members of the public wish to comment on item 1? seeing none, public comment is now closed. we're joined by supervisor kim. can we have a motion on item 1? >> i would like to make a motion to send it to full board with positive recommendation. >> supervisor tang: we can do that without objection. so moved. thank you very much. madam clerk, item 2, please. >> clerk: item 2 a president lose authorizing the continued operation of the navigation centered l at missi street through september 30, 2018, and the continued operation of navigation center located at 20 12th street through december 31, 2021. >> supervisor tang: thank you very much. and this is an item that is sponso

the more we are staring at our phones and the more we are on these apps, they are incentivized to make them as addictive as possible, we both have two kids. do you have fears for how your kids interact with the internet and communications in general as it becomes an increasingly central part of our lives? >> the positive part is great. some of the programs my kids are able to watch our educational. it is great seeing them learn through some of these. i do worry about how it changes the way they interact with the world. when we grew up, when i was growing up, the world was defined through the analog communication system. i wonder sometimes, or my kids by the factaped they are interacting with a screen as opposed to reading something? one of the things i think about is we want them to be well so wed members of society want them to look around them in addition to what they see. it is a challenge. >> one of the things i have noticed is with the algorithms that tell you which new story to read or what kind of movies or shows or advertising to target the people based on what they have seen.

when we are talking about these large providers and making sure that less regulation will help incentivize them to put more money back into the networks, are you concerned about some of these companies focusing more on the already urban areas, helping make sure they can accommodate increasing traffic there rather than putting their money into expanding their infrastructure into the hard-to-reach areas? ajit pai: to me, this is the central problem with internet policy in the united states, there is simply not a business case to serve many parts of the country which are rural. not many people per square mile surrey get less return of investment or to point fiber and/or they are low income so people would not be up to afford the services. to me we need to have serious national effort nor to promote much more access. the fcc is doing that. the license regulations were adopted across the board to try to modernize our rules to encourage companies, smaller companies that are critical to provide access, to give them a stronger business case are reaching those individuals. one example of what uses

it's hard to incentivize security so when i look at that. i'm worried that working to continue to see more devices attached to the networks that raise the risk profile. and had unintended consequences. getting better instrumentation of these devices. and getting constantly plugged in. we don't really had any security controls baked in the place. when you live in a world where you live in. every day you wake up and you see organizations getting breached every single day he start becoming a little numb. what most people see in the process of the media. it's like 2% of what we see every day. when you see day in and day out organizations that has a lot of money and time and energy to secure themselves and so get bypass. i hate to say this i go to that conference and i want to leave the security industry every year. there is no one incentivized to fix this problem. we do in cycles because someone has an investor. if you look at the economics of cyber -- cyber security it's all broken. i come from the u.s. government. i can't understand how many s

that will incentivize the creation of new rules. it will also incentivize china's participation in this process. and to the extent that we have been concerned about china's failure to engage in, say, the doha round of negotiations constructively, this is where we could get that to change. so where should we start when we're thinking about new rules for state-owned enterprises? well, if we go and look around at a lot of the new initiatives on the free trade agreements that have been proposed in recent years for the united states, the tpp agreement, the trans-pacific partnership agreement, it's got a state-owned enterprise chapter. i'll put that up in a moment. there were all proposals for state-owned enterprises. the eu agreements all have soe chapters in them. the oecd program. the oecd has a work program on state-owned enterprises. they have been tasked already with developing this overcapacity forum to deal with steel. at the g-7 readout for the communique or the g-6 communique that came out over the weekend, there was acknowledgm

if we can do that with the central american population, that would go a long ways to this incentivizing the smugglers and cartels and traffickers from bringing kids up in the first place. >> is there talk and serious thought about if you cannot pass your bill you go to a skinny bill that just deals with family situation? >> i think at minimum we have to deal with the family separation. i am a father of 5 and i think this is inhumane and the pictures we have seen, that is not the face of america. >> that addresses the skinny bill part of it. i want to ask both of you about ambitions because they went into this with the ambition of widespread reform. -- can't make these large-scale changes to immigration such as what we saw in 1986? >> it has been such an -- a difficult issue for congress. under president george bush and again under president obama with the bill in 2013. realizingl sides are to fix the immigration problems will require bipartisan consensus and that is difficult to get to in this congress. republicans wanted to try to look at this on their own, bring something that preside

incentivizing joblessness. are we incentivizing stuck wages? >> maybe. i think the most important thing is working on straight employment subsidies. i think something like a flat wage subsidy targeted towards the end of the labor market is the right answer. make it a are our subsidy so it is not complex. i am fine if you want to say that those dollars will be larger in west virginia then eyill be in new york. i am also fine if you say it three dollar wage bump will have more of an impact in virginia than it will be in new york. is a question as to whether or not you want to give subsidy directly to the workers, or you want to give it to the firms, which will be cheaper to implement. also more effective in places that have a binding minimum wage. if your goal is to bump up wages , i am more focus on joblessness rather than raising wages. giving it to the firm has a certain amount of sense to it. >> did you have something on that? ofi have a particular view how this is all playing out. i guess i share the diagnosis of what is going on, but i think it will

that will incentivize the creation of new roles. it will also incentivize china's participation in this process and to the extent that we have been concerned about the round of negotiations, we could get this to change. where should we start. were thinking about new rules for state owned enterprises. if we look around at a lot of new initiatives on the free trade agreements that have been proposed in recent years the united states the ttp agreement and has a state enterprise chapter. they were all proposals. the eu agreement, the oecd program it has a work program and they had been tasked already with developing this overcapacity form to deal with steel. at the g7 readout for the communiquÉs of the g6 that came out over the weekend there is acknowledgment of this issue also applying to aluminum and other high-tech sectors so there is seemingly an engagement by the other advanced economies to get on this issue or to address this issue. finally, the european commission has been dealing with the concerns raised by its differing member

we tried this at a festival we did and had about 6,000 people and incentivized people monetarily to purchase the clean canteen style glass and nobody bought it. we ended up with, i don't know -- i think we brought 3,000 and of the 3,000, we brought back 2,800 and even with the financial incentive, nobody did it. that is another consideration. and conceivably printed the name and the year of the event on it because it is like a souvenir cup, and you can't sell them the next year. that is another added cost we had to do and just eat 2,800 cups because we thought we could convince people to do it. >> how is this going to be enforced? a cup police? walking around? >> so i am not clear on if there will be actual inspectors, but right now environment is with the authority to issue fines and there is an event that has too much plastic in the composting stream. and so they get audited because the primary service provider has this report that environment gets ahold of. and they can go to the permit authority andsay well, this event has been a bad actor. we would like you to either cancel the event or

the republican tax bill incentivized i apologize. incentivize the growth of past businesses with the income earned somewhat impact with the solvency of the social security trust fund? >> there were a number of factors as was already alluded to. it accounts for the macro are dynamic scoring effect. and those changes that passed through the removal of the individual mandate. with that small net effect create a little bit more revenue were little less revenue that we project over the long term for the first order of effects would be negligible. you have different information than i have why i asked the question but pass-through businesses now with the consent would contribute to the erosion of the payroll tax base, would it not? >> i believe that is true. >> let me answer that. the information that we actually got from that joint committee. >> let me ask you this so can you explain why the social security trust fund as reserves? >> largely because with the law they do not have the ability or the capacity or the legal right to borrow so

workers were incentivized to basically open up those accounts. you learned question let me correct a couple of things. we don't know how many accounts were opened, unauthorized. one isd you not say that bad? >> one is too many, that is absolutely correct. regardless, there is no question we had an incentive planned in part of our business, in our retail banking business, that incentivized our team members in retail banking, most of whom did .n incredible job it incentivized them to open an account as opposed to providing good service and advice. >> how does that happen? >> i think it happens over time, when you have a plan that tends to work for a variety of reasons. when you look at the customer service scores, they were improving during the same time. we were growing as a company, or earnings growing, all of the other metrics. step back, we had an incentive plan that went off the rails. and it was more than just an incentive plan. i think this is an important learning experience for all of us. it created a management environment where many of o

with incentivizing monster home that is not going to happen. we are going to be hear and objecting to that. you have seen some of us week after week and we are going to object to them monster homes, 4,000, 5,000, 6,000 square feet are not affordable housing. we need to have affordable by design. also we would like you to divide a maximum limit for adu. if someone could build a 2,000 square feet or carve out 2,000 square feet and call it adu, that is going to be a sham. that is not an adu. that's it and thank you very much. >> thank you. >> tony robles. want to echo what some of the other speakers said about the displacement ramifications this could have. we see turning garage and storage spaces into dwellings and i am a tenant organization nizer with senior and disability action turning garage and storage spaces require complying with modern day storm and air. storage and air and everyone is turning their extra space into an adu -- it calls into question is it city planning, slub planning, what is it? >> next speaker please. >> good afternoon j

supervisors who have relationships with military installations in their jurisdictions where they incentivize and some jurisdictions make sure they want to have a good representation of veterans and members of the military as poll workers or as full-time election officials in their office. so again, they always have that perspective and their perspective is not lost and we put that at the recommendation that other states and localies you can incentivize and make sure that that voice is brought not just on election day and day to day and the year-round staffing, that would be really good. from a technology perspective, david, we had really good recommendations that we put out there and i think states have taken heed to it. one relates to the common access card. as many of you know, the department of defense is the largest employer in the world, over 3 million employees and so if you are a member of the military, you have a common access card and that's just a way of verifying your identity and there is a signature component with this card. our working group of election administrators put forth

the meantime but wall street says about the tax how the tax legislation the new law has basically incentivize the share buybacks he says the no trim tabs provided as to why the share buybacks are suddenly blowing off the charts is key the corporate tax law has changed concerning the repatriation of overseas cash that represents many years of untaxed profits and vested mostly in u.s. treasuries and corporate bonds this quote unquote repatriation is a one time affair why. these limited so called overseas cash has been repatriated and spent on share buybacks dividends and executive bonus is gone and then what these immensely overvalued shares will then have to find real buyers but for now companies are selling their treasuries corporate bonds which have taken a beating recently and are using the proceeds while they last to buy back their own shares at historically overvalued prices right you mentioned leveraged buyouts there are so instead of a company doing a leveraged buyout on buying another company they're doing a leveraged buyout of themselves they borrow lots of money and they buy back the

and we think we have a package that is front of you that does both incentivize our operator, provide specific benefits to the port and allows us to move ahead on potentially extension options. so here's the proposed business terms. i'm laughing because we skipped through this before, but now we're going to talk about this. this is the heart of what we have in front of you. and that is to extend for two options of ten years each, starting in 2045 to 2055 and a second option contingent on the first being exercised from 55-65. what that would allow us to do is base rent, it's a good formula. the base rent ratchets up to 70% of the sales, the preceding three year sales. we're about to implement a new based on the success, their base rent is going to be increasing and going to be doubling. so right away, a very good benefit, a good clause that is already in the lease. so what has been proposed here to a lot of discussion with the consultants with the partner boudin, is to have a fair market value reset during the option periods and those would be collared if you will, between 6-7%. their

it will incentivize the creation of new roles and china's participation in the process to the extent that we have been concerned about china's failure to engage in negotiations consuctive. iss a get that change. where should we start when we are thinking about new roles for state owned enterprises? if we go and look around at a lot of initiatives on the free trade agreement that has been proposed in recent years for the united states the transpacific partnership agreement has estate owned enterprise chapter. i will put that up in a moment. they were all proposals for state owned enterprises. the oecd program on state owned enterprises has been tasked already with developing this overcapacity thtodeal with steel. at the g7 readout that came out over the weekend there was acknowlent of this issue also applied to aluminum and other high-tech sector so there is seemingly an engagement to get on and address this issue. finally the european commission has been dealing with these roles with concerns raised by six differing levels enterprises for decades. there's lots of institutional materi

does he have a point that if you just continue that practice, that it incentivizes traffickers to bringto the border. >> well, our country needs comprehensive immigration reform. there is no doubt about that. but what we have happening -- >> but is he right, senator? is he right that catch and release incentivizes the dangerous practice. >> what we have happening right now is we have parents bringing their children to our country, seeking asylum. they're refugees, escaping violence. and the fact that what we are doing then is cruelly separating these children from their parents, is unconscionable. i believe it is immoral. that is the immediate problem we need to fix now. >> i hear that. i talked about your legislation that would end that. but do you think senator rubio, your republican counterpart, is right that catch and release doesn't work and that it can be dangerous? >> i think that what we need to do is have comprehensive immigration reform in this country. that is absolutely essential. >> listen to what secretary nielsen said just yesterday when she was asked about the conditions

our hope is that projects like the one at 2 russia, which i presented earlier, might be incentivized to use home-sf and provide affordable units if the process is simplified. since tier 1 projects will not be exceeding the height limit and should look similar to or the same as a project proposed under base zoning, it seems appropriate that they not be required to go to the commission. so that concludes my presentation. and then i'm happy to answer any questions after public comment. thank you. >> president hillis: i'm sure we'll have some. we'll open this up for public comment. any speaker cards? if you have comment, line up on the screen side of the room. >> good afternoon. steve vettle. here to speak about recommendation number 2, which is to set the inclusionary rate at 23% for tier 1 projects. i would point out that the current 18% for rental projects is proving difficult for projects to pencil, to increase sub starjly for a project not getting a height increase seems burden onsome and i think it ought to be rethought. the basis of that recommendation is a study done on divisader

we put that as a recommendation other states and localities if you can incentivize or make sure that voice is brought into not just on election day but day-to-day, year-round staffing that would be really good. from a technology perspective we had three really good recommendations we put out there and i think states are kind of taking heed to it. one relates to the common access card. as many of you know the department of defense is the largest employer in the world. over 3 million employees. and so if you are a member of the military, you have a common access card. that's your way of verifying your identity. a digital signature component with this card. our working group of election administrators put forth the recommendation that common access card should be experimented or piloted or used in the overseas voting process. that's one -- i had that visual where you saw the multiple steps in voting. if again, sort of like my phone, members of the military if they are broad, and they have a common access card, they use it for all sorts of things. why not include voting in that process.

unlike other proposals which would incentivize more illegal immigration, in my view, by essentially codifying past practice where people were apprehended but then released into the community, this legislation actually solves the problem by keeping families together while ensuring the integrity of our immigration laws. again, it among other things overrides the flores settlement agreement ensuring that families are kept together during their immigration enforcement proceedings. but importantly to me, it also expedites these proceedings. and this is one of the problems i've sao*ep in -- seen in the immigration system. we have so many cases, such a backlog, so much time required to get to a decision that it creates a lot more problems in terms of what do you do with folks who come across the border. so this would expedite and prioritize these cases and families, provide lots more immigration judges which you've got to get a decision on these people. you need to have more immigration judges and a better process. more money, frankly, is going to be needed, interest resources to be sure that infras

if countries know what each other is doing, that helps to incentivize countries to be even the shorterommitment cycles, five years, so you go back -- you don't lock in ambition over a ten-year period, but over short periods, and before makg a new commitment you get an assessment, a review of the state of the science, the state of the economics to help inform a decision to increase or to submit a new number. so those were some of the key elements that were inserted into the paris agreement and, quite frankly, some of them are under threat in the ongoing negotiations. quite frankly, because of the u.s. is no longer displaying that level of leadership. so on the ambition question, i believe countries can do more. we are going to do more as barbados as my new prime minister has announced, but we are 0.00000% of global emissions, however -- however, we are going to do more and many countries -- and i think as david said earlier, that leadership needs to come from around the globe. it needs to come from the small islands, it needs to come from the african countries, countries in latin americ

> it is, but they -- it's a total of 7.60 for 2 nc.at we'o premium curb side model fee, too, to incentivize them to use the garage. >> supervisor sheehy: any way we can capture -- obviously, our taxi industry is diing, and that's probably the one place wen sav them. again, not to discriminate unnecessarily, but there is kind of an issue here when you think about that the taxi drivers have paid the city $200,000 for medallions, and we're kind of -- i think that they're -- i think perhaps -- and i don't want to go through this all -- use all this time because i think we have a long hearing, but maybe there should be a discussion between mta and the airport because we have collected with one branch of taty government $200,000 for me dme -- medallions for taxis. they're basically going bankrupt from these medallions. i thsince we've saddled them with this debt that we don't saddle with tnc's for. the one piece of property we do own where they could get an advantage in picking up and drop off is at the airport. and while they have small advantage, if we can make that better, maybe that's a place

gross, the tax bill incentivize i'm sorry, mr. gosse they incentivize the pastor businesses that moved the top tax rate unencumbered from 39.6 to 15%. what impact will this have on the solvency of the social security trust fund? >> there were a number of factors in the recent tax bill, the trustees have not taken into account the macro or dynamic scoring. the other factors built in which is the payroll tax changes, the pass-through and the removal of the mandates on balance have relatively small net effect. some would create more revenue. some less. in some over the long term that this direct first-order would be negligible. >> you have different information than i have. that's why i asked the question. pastor businesses, the growth of those businesses now with the incentives that i just mentioned would contribute to the erosion of the payroll, would it not? >> i believe that is true. >> the information we built in. >> the information you built into it can you explain why the social security trust fund has reserves? >> we have res

this this is a proven program tt provides relief from low-income families also incentivizing work. i agree we need to improve the eitc program took unfortunately i don't think is the right approach. this amendment will pay for the edge expansion by tax cuts. prior to the tax cuts and job at our tax code may use corporations uncompetitive on the world stage. this had led to inversions, the offshoring of american jobs. individuals have less take-home pay. these are not the changes i believe should be reversed. many americans today including in ohio for taking more money home in their pocket so they have more money to spend. as result of the tax cuts and job act is a multinational corporations respond by giving pay increases and expanding operations this week the national association of manufacturers announced as result of the tax reform, the optimism of the members is at an all-time high. these are members who employ many of those americans my call he is talking about. in fact, just last month by the company for my district testify that they are moving components other operation from

lot of comments because we started trying to develop projects in areas that have no subsidy or incentivizationompetitive battlegrounds. we got criticism at the beginning, why are you so stupid? why don't you invest where there are subsidies? because we think subsidies will end. we need to be prepared for when they will not be around so this needs to be sustainable. this will be the thing and we pushed that. we prepared for competition. we prepared for the moment when renewables would be an open, global, very wide and fierce battleground, and today we have a huge competitive advantage. francine: ok, so you go to hubs. you tell them this is my problem. i need a better battery or storage facility. we will get to that. you buy them when they come with the answer, or you investin them? what is that relationship like? francesco: we don't buy them or invest in them. we have partnerships with venture funds that do that. we don't get into that. francine: why not? francesco: it is simple. we cannot make a mistake. we are not able to make mistakes, because you think things will never go wrong. i'm joking

the point is to move away from the minutiae, and incentivize the big picture. emphasize the communication congress really needs. there are other examples as well. for example, looking at my notes apologize -- the issue of vacancies. this is something p.o.g.o. tracks. the answer was 14 i.g.'s are now unfilled at this time. we track that. the question is, when will they be filled? we do know that they are unfilled, but we don't know when they will be filled. there are a couple steps we would like to see, probably through a change by congress in the federal vacancies reform act, a law that says, what is the process for ensuring vacancies are filled? for example, currently it is notified by the administration that there is a vacancy. what is not notified, when will the vacancy be felt -- filled? what is your plan? why hasn't it been filled? there's another we are exploring , which i will talk about, could is someone else make the i.g. nomination on a temporary basis? there is an interesting u.s.dent, whereby for attorneys that are vacant, the judicial branch takes

and reporters and furthermore it shows that agents were incentivized to provide inside information. we have profound concerns about the volume and extent of on all three media contacts by f.b.i. press no the we have uncovered during our. seven reporters in direct contact with the f.b.i. over one hundred phone calls and you've got officials as high up as the assistant director taking time to hobnob with reporters if you read this report you would think that at this point leaking classified information is just not a big deal to the highest law enforcement agency in the land but the f.b.i. had no problem busting james wolf for doing it himself james wall former congressional aide was a rested for allegedly giving information to his girlfriend who was working at the new york times while he was a congressional aide now miss watkins says that the new york times never received any leaks from james wolf and wolf is now facing charges of lying to federal officials. mr hoofs alleged conduct is a betrayal of the extraordinary public trust that had been placed on him what about when f.b.i. agen
