it is educational space for city college, which is also a valid option. in the late 1980s, the board of supervisors had once offered the reservoir site to city college for a token payment of 1 dollar, but the mayor next to that. we have come a long way since then, so the gilding height should have been 25 to 65 feet, that is what the parameters came up with, but that four -- the for-profit developer, having five to seven units, an accident -- asking for in excess of 75 to 85 feet. so from the parameter, to the community development did not really result in what the development wants to do. >> thank you. next speaker, please. >> christine hanson. this property has come before the san francisco voters on four occasion previously for zoning changes for potential sales to a private developer, but the voters have rejected those plans the increase in the area population with no support or solution to the various types of congestion in the proposed project alternatives is inconsistent with the san francisco general plan in multiple ways, and those are too vast to be considered without a ceq

community college board member alex randolph. and supervisor safai and another member of the community college board, tom. and thank you supervisor matt haney for joining us as well. i want to take this opportunity to acknowledge the first lbgt fire chief jeanine nicholson. and thank you supervisor walton for being here as well. and our police department, our chief is here, bill scott. i am so excited. have you guys seen the new flag, new vehicles of the san francisco police department? amazing. thank you, chief so much. there is a freedom band that you will be the official band of the city and county of san francisco, lgbt freed domband. you will hear from them shortly. no one celebrates pride like san francisco. thank you for joining us to raise the flag in our city. i know there are challenges throughout the bay area of raising this flag. in san francisco it is not a question. it is an important part of what makes our city so special. i want to thank all of you every year for coming for the flag raising. i want to acknowledge

with the school district and maybe even the college board to really address how do we get the services that the city has into schools, and for the students who really need them to make sure that people are getting the things that they need to be supported and be successful. i think we can all agree that whenever a student or young person has to be arrested, we all fail and the system has falling -- fallen short of meeting the needs for them. i also want to highlight the materials we gave out with you, showing the connection between school push out and gentrification and how it is not just a san francisco issue, but it is something that is going on both nationally and throughout the region. and finally i would say this. we cannot rely on the m.o.u. with the police department and the school district to solve all of these issues. we have to figure out something that is larger and more overarching. it will bring in public health services, physical health services and everything that our families and students need to be successful and not just wait for an emergency to bring in these resourc

there is an actual board of colleges they are not part of that there is no company that does that so the purpose is to really is supposed to be to give an idea of where our high school student is and how their readiness for college so you kind of have this common data point for all all colleges to look at all applicants so by the numbers it's like can you do this can you do that but tell me if i'm wrong but you know that kind of like i mean i get ok each person has their individual score but there's so many factors that play a role in how you take a test like even what i was in his you know you to like what happened that morning what happened that week what's going on that it's impossible to judge if somebody is ready for college about based on like water to us that supposedly all of your grades in high school well that's a better barometer of this and was initially the fact that they were removed and yeah right like what's interesting is that when you take away the idea of s a t's you actually get more diversity in college who i magine. in one study from bates college test option

college. i'm a frau graduate of city cole within i didn't join this board to see city college be downsized and i think we all feel the same way and i want that out there that we are not on the board to dowdownsize city college. we're fighting every single day. and we work really hard and our administration works hard and we all have a role to play and i want to give them that respect, because it is a hard nut to crascrack and we are all commitd to do what it takes to make sure our students get served, that it remains a place people feel comfortable and inclusive and folks from all over the world and throughout ow our communitis can feel loved. that's what i love about our college, it is a community and so we want to work together. we want to work together to also advocate at the state level because again, to the comments made earlier, we're wearing the same jersey here and really within we have to come together and organize and look at the ways that the state is not funding our education the way they should and look at this state funding to identify ways that can be shifted and so, i just agai

i do want to reiterate my thanks to my colleagues on the board of education and city college board of trustees, and the parents, and the families, and of course, school personnel who came out today. i will not go into context i. i think supervisor safai did a good job of talking about and framing the conversation of why we are here today, but i do just want to thank supervisor safai because at the time of the incident, my youngest son is at balboa and i also have a connection with the family, so supervisor safai jumped right in as a member of the board of supervisors because balboa is in his district, and i had the opportunity to jump in and engage as a member of the board of education. one of the most pertinent things that we wanted to make sure happened is that we push forward and put the right policies in place so that we can avoid incidents like this from ever happening again. as a parent, as a former member of the board of education, and someone who has worked with young people most of my life, we have to make sure that one, we never put young people in a position where they can

i think we have that in other entities, whether it's city college board. they have a student rep. on the san francisco unified school district, they have a student rep on that board, so nothing new. i think we need a voice there that's representing the youth. so if that's something we need to do regarding an ordinance, i will help do that. thank you. >> chair fewer: thank you. supervisor ronen? >> supervisor ronen: i just want to say i think you made my day because despite my advanced age, i agree with every one of your recommendations, and am really proud to be working on some of them. go closure of juvenile hall yesterday, 10-1 vote. it was pretty amazing. yes, snap for that. i also just want to echo and mention that it's really frustrating that we haven't opened up the t.a.y. navigation center yet. the fact that we have put money in the budget two years, and the fact that we still don't know if there's a site that's feasible is extremely, extremely frustrating. i was talking to jeff kosinski, the director of supportive and homeless housing about it. i know we're looking in distr

incredible women to elected office, including the board of supervisors, school, and community college boardof the 105 commissioners that i appointed to serve on commissions throughout san francisco, over 50% of those folks are women. [applause] and let and. >> the hon. london breed: and let me tell you, like the fierce leader of our country, nancy pelosi, will be here today, and valerie jarrett, who influenced one of the best people in the white house. and when she wasn't influencing michelle obama, she was sometimes influencing barack. today is about inspiration, today is about putting forth our best selves. today is about mentoring, and today is about reaching our best selves. for kaiser permanente, i just want to say thank you for the incredible sponsorship. i also want to thank our incredible sponsor, susie tompkins-buell and the buell family trust for this summit. thank you to uber and -- i'm trying to remember all of them. there are a lot of them. thank you to the california women's foundation for your work on this summit and for putting it together, as well. so many amazing people, s

i had the opportunity to work with jorge when i was on the city college board of trustees. i just want to thank for your extraordinary work for all those years, but particularly through the tumult of the accreditation crisis. you a you were an anchor for the institution and, college made it through. [applause] >> president yee: okay. all yours. >> about 45 years ago, i was almost homeless. i knew that education was the door for the american dream. city college had been that door for me. it's always nice to work in a place that you enjoy working and doing something that you love to do, and let me tell you, education works. like me, there are thousands of people that can tell you about how city college have changed their lives. i want to thank you, all the supervisors, for your support to city college of san francisco, for your support to free city. this is just an amazing city, and without city college, it wouldn't be the same. thank you to all san franciscans for giving me the opportunity to live in this beautiful city and work at city college. thank you.

board member on the new york board of rabbis, and the center for the holocaust diversity at the southern campus of suffolk community college. founder of the jewish hospital referral service. pastoral care coordinator of the suffolk partners in dignity. chaplain at the brookhaven memorial hospital, south side hospital. longest sitting member of the board of ethics. i have known rabbi moss since i was a little kid. nearly 27 years ago he was the rabbi who presided over the bar mitzvah service for me and will be the rabbi for my daughter's bar mitzvah. he's left an impact on so many lives, including my own. one of the things i love most about him is how he visits people in hospitals, nursing homes and elsewhere all the time every day. if you think you have lost touch with rabbi moss and it's been 20 years since you've spoken to him last, even if you weren't really even that close with him back in the day, if he finds out that you are at a local hospital, he will come and visit you and pray for you. his family services during the high holy days are amazing for the kids. he involves everyone. it's not easy to get every single k

linda fairstein stepped down from the boards of a college and a nonprofit charity. the top manhattan sex crimes prosecutor when five teenagers were wrongfully convicted following the 1989 attack on a female jogger. "cbs this morning" saturday co-host michelle miller has covered the central park five for years and joins us with this latest turn of events. michelle, good morning to you. >> good morning. many are hearing about this case for the first time because of the series "when they see us." linda fairstein is a role played by felicity huffman, a role she played before admitting to her participation in the college admissions scandal. she's seen as a single-minded prosecutor convinced of the young men's guilt. >> they brutally raped a woman and discarded her like a piece of garbage. >> reporter: "when they see us" revisited the central park five, a case that drew headlines in 1989. it focuses not only on the black and latino teens who were accused of attacking and raping a female investment banker but also on the woman who helped successfully convict them. >> these

the ceo says toue city college francisco's board is set to vote on a deal to secure its free tuition the next ten years. a two-year pilot program is set to expire in july. the program aims to increase enrollment at the college. >>> chevy's high-tech truck could be the first pickup with a six-figure price tag. the company is rolling out a new version of its heavy-duty silverado. that something a monster. complete with a multicamera system with 14 views. the truck is expected to be the first pickup in the u.s. to cost $100,000. >> when you said chevy, i thought of the restaurant. >> you can still get a nice enchilada. >> their interpretation anyway. i'm taking a live look at the new york stock exchange right now. trading under way, pretty flat up about 19 points right now. >> this morning we're hearing from the woman who got married with 34 bridesmaids by her side. all right. 38-year-old carter married her husband gary earlier this month in florida. her six sisters and her 28 girlfriends all celebrated this big day with her. she lived in eight cities over 20 years. she says that's how

college. we've most of our money certificated money and you can see we're $6 million over our target and the board has asked us to get into target and the way to do that is not to take it all out of sections, because we've reduced sections, not courses, but we did reduce 250 sections as shown there. but many of the reductions are coming as you can see by reducing add mai administratorsg from 8.5 million to 7 million. that's a 20% cult. cut and every gat gorcategory is reduced. we can't run a college without our classified staff and our friends in sci, cannot. and their budget is also being reduced from 37 million in regular salaries to 34 and you can see the reductions right there. so it is true that we're cutting class sections to be more efficient or to be more accurate and it is true that we're cutting empty seats that we had last year. but it is also true that every single individual in the college is going to make a sacrifice in order to get us on goal. and supervisor hainey, i am at an end. >> thank you, chancelor. committee members, any questions? supervisor walton? >> thank you, chair and

college are great. we have a great board, great faculty, great staff. that college has been there since 1935. it's graduated 35,000 alumni. it's had a great reputation. so in the last couple of years, we've set our goals on three major things. number one, students. we need to be student centered to make sure our students, most of whom are -- we're aajority minority campus college. need to graduate and move forward with their lives. want to grow the college wide receiver we think we have some capacity to grow. so that was one. and then the college has been there since 1935, so we have -- we wanted to rebuild it advicely. so we want to go out and do a construction program to give the people of the community the state of the art. >> took a bold step, city college did, when you considered it a sanctuary campus. talk about that step, what it means to you, what it means to the students you serve there. >> well, hsi is huge program matcally but it's probably even huger for city college symbolically. because it's the official announcement by the federal government, by the department of education, tha

[cheers and applause] >> just notice how i have been saying the bronx, the right way. president o'donnell, you began your tenure at manhattan college in 2009. i became a justice a month later in august 2009. we are both celebrating our 10th year anniversary and i congratulate you on your 10 years thus far. as a baseball fan, i am thrilled to be here at the birthplace of the seventh inning stretch. a tradition dating back to a game in the 1880's between your jaspers and what is today new york city's second best baseball team, the mets. guess what team i favor

>> we saw with the college board this is really probably more about diversity and, really force diversity isn't all white as they would say or all elitist as they would say. we saw them try to maybe introduce some kind of oppression or adversity standard by which they would allocate points based on if you have a single parent household, all that, that is a complete mess. i would rather have this, if you're going to have some kind of an option for that, i would rather than say, we'll not have standardized tests at all. this is a little difficult. i kind of understand. they're saying okay, we just don't want people who can afford thousands of dollars of tutoring to come to our schools. but i just don't know the solution. you have to have some kind of objective standard. stuart: i just don't, there is no solution out there at this moment. allie stuckey, thanks for joining the debate. it will go on forever i'm sure. >>> up next. will the real joe biden stand up, please? his campaign is a work in progress. can he get it together for the thursday presidential debates? my take on that next. stua

college degree. and lastly, as we honor the 65th anniversary of brown v. board and wrestle with a promise unphiladelphia is it is evident that like our k-12 system we spend more money to educate wealthy college students than students underserved by our education system. depriving the institutions that serve our most vulnerable college students of the resources made available to predominantly white four-year universities is contrary to our values and the best interests as a nation. congress has a responsibility to strengthen and invest in institutions that are prompting economic mobility, as we continue to work toward a reauthorization of key federal higher education policy, we must understand the critical work these institutions are doing to address the specific needs of today's students and invest in -- invest in these initiatives. thank you. president verret, dr. mchatton. chancellor dubois. and president boham for being with us today. i yield to the ranking member mr. smucker for his opening statement. >> thank you, adam chair for yielding. we're all here tod
