and this agreement the agency purchased two parcels, parcels a and c. a key tenant of this transfer agreement was a so-called true-up division which said that any funds left over after the city fulfilled its obligation under the agreement with caltrans would be given back to the redevelopment agency to adjustor true up their purchase price. this was a foundational premise on which the transfer agreement was based. the redevelopment agency came forward with funds from the low mod housing fund which were instrumental in the construction of octavia boulevard with the understanding that the purchase price would be adjusted in the future. in addition, the transfer agreement included an option to purchase an additional five parcels, parcels g, k, o, q, and u should they so choose. and, in fact, the agency did exercise its option to produce an additional five parcels -- excuse me, to purchase an additional five parcels at a total cost of $12 million. the total amount paid by the redevelopment agency from the low mod housing fund was $17.8 million. since the ed

it does not make us a police agency or a correctional agency. but does it make us a law enforcement entity, given our responsibility to enforce particular laws, some of which have no one else to enforce them? that is a legal question that i would be interested from hearing from miss herrick on that one. >> certainly, so i would not call the ethics commission a law enforcement agency under 6254 f, typically that it does reply on the police agency and fire departments when they are doing arson investigations for example, may be law enforcement agencies... i don't... i don't recall seeing that anywhere in the materials, a reliance on 6254 f, i did not rely on 6254 f. there are other state laws that protect the disclosure of confidential information in the government code 6276 and 6276.32, which are part of the public records act, as well as the government code section that the controller's office relies on in terms of the protection of the whistle blower complaints and that is government code section 53087.6. so while i agree, with mr. shaw that th

ratings agency fitch has downgraded argentinian debt. the agency says a default by the latin american nation is probable. >> buenos aires is in trouble. in argentina does not pay its debt, which it says it will not, it will be technically in default. >> argentina owes money to creditors who refuse to take part in a debt by down after it defaulted on government bonds a decade ago. a u.s. federal court has ordered repayment by december 15. the government has appealed against the ruling. argentina is already struggling with recession, which the fitch report partly blamed on government intervention. fitch also highlighted allegations of corruption and pointed to a wave of protests, some of which have been violent. the court ruled that argentina must repay the $1.3 billion in debt, and if it is forced to pay in full, other holders of debt totaling $11 billion are expected to demand immediate payment as well. argentina says that if the court order same place, it may have difficulties in meeting the payments on other bonds. latin america's thir

the money was not going to be given to the agency and now mo, affordable housing. in essence the amount they overpaid up front as we were wait tog figure out what the purchase price would be, they agreed they would pay the higher amount and wait i'd the end of the day and see if that was going to be the lower amount for the purchase. >> then it would be a true up? >> yes, that would be a true up at the end of the day. they would look at the difference between all the proceeds coming in, all the costs going out and the difference between that was going to be the amount the agency paid for the parcel. >> and, so, apparently a misunderstanding? >> i think so. we all agree these need to be used -- revenues need to be used for transportation projects. but the amount of money going back to the redevelopment agency and mo was not revenue. it was amount returned back to them that they had prepaid up front, a loan in essence. >> as i understand, i wasn't sitting on the budget committee at the time, but that memo from the transportation authority was delivered very shortly b

so, you're well resourced for all the agencies of the city. secondly, think about not only how to preserve this network of community-based prioritization of public improvements, but how to extend it to every corner of the city. maybe rather than subsuming all of this into a transportation sustainability fee, like maybe every neighborhood needs some kind of advisory committee or community meeting, town hall, something, where they get to have a chance to prioritize improvements in their neighborhood. so, we think this is great work. we'd actually like to see it refined. we'd like to see it extended. the last question is how do we pay for community planning. we've always done it through fees. community planning follows development sites. if you have a lot of development sites and you can generate a lot of fees then you can get a community plan if you don't have that. but still need community planning. you may not get it in the current environment. so, i think we also need to have a conversation in the city. should we general fund fund community p

thank you to all of the agencies working day in, day out. the samoan community center and all the case managers meeting with the families and thank the case manager and how do we complement that work and create a change in the city and county of san francisco. we would like to thank public housing, henry allah ez, where are you? thank you for making this space available. we would like to thank the police department and thank you for all of your work and strategy and working with us in reducing violence. we would like to thank wendy from adult probation. we would like to thank william juvenile probation chief. we really want to put a shout out to department of children youth and their families, maria, and the human services agency first five, and of course the public housing commission and everyone else who has worked tirelessly in this endeavor. to move forward formally with unveiling the family resource center we would like to have the officials that spoke to be part of the ribbon cutting outside right in front of the family resource center

be handled by the ethics commission can be referred to another agency. i indicated to you last month, i don't believe that you should be hearing this case at all. you should transfer it in its entirety, that would be in total to another jurisdiction, not just merely to obtain, an opinion, and the deputy city attorney, who clearly did not understand the roles. next i would like to draw your attention that maibl ing had violated sunshine ordinance in 2007 or so, and in that complaint is referred to the ethics commission. i believe in total. and the ethics commiting accepted oakland's determination in that case, and i am asking you again to transfer my case in its entirety to another jurisdiction, there is a clear conflict of interest with this body, ajudicating a flawed analysis from the an jose city attorney and you should refer the whole matter to another jurisdiction and finally, i would like to congratulate the four courage yus members of the board who rejected this considering ross macarini, they, unlike you, came to the correct ethical conclusion, th

that i'm not aware of what any internationally recognized legal authority for a civilian agency to go overseas and kill so it is you know there are still some questions that i think pose some real serious problems it is hard to remember but about four years ago pro. didn't obama who has made himself the sole authority to give the green light to these drone strikes it's hard to remember but four years ago this is a president who campaigned and beat his primary challenger hillary clinton because of his very strong language being against the iraq war this is a president who during that campaign four years ago said more times than i can even count that his intention and his promise was to shut down guantanamo bay a.s.a.p. not only is one not shut down but most of these policies that we're seeing that we're learning about running still counter to that those campaign messages a i guess i want to ask you what you think happened and of course there's a lot of things that the general public will never know and b. why do you think the public hasn't sort of held the president accountable for the

we make mistakes, all agencies make mistakes. but under the general, javier own doctor problems that we had and they were also very clear that they were going to stand by the work force. and certainly if he happened to be the nominee, it would be difficult for the agency. >> a concern of yours, i can see. before the newsbreak today, the biggest talk in town was about the economy. president obama and the republican speaker made their views known on the upcoming fiscal cleiff approaches. both men agreed on the urgency to act. the devil is in the details. >> ladies and gentlemen, that the president and the vice- president of the united states. >> del left the supporters fool you, he knows there is no honeymoon the second time around. he is straight into a living and economic crisis in demanding compromise from politicians. dodge the american people understand we will have differences in disagreements in the months to come. they get back. but on tuesday, they said loud and clear that they won't tolerate this function for politicians

not everybody is going to benefit in fact we talked to richard jones from the international energy agency the author of this report and he said that some of the shelf gas projects may be put on hold because the development of shale gas makes them good on the clean and viable let's listen to what he had said. i don't know that that will be the area that will be exploited first especially if the technologies that are being developed to exploit the light type oil resources in the united states are continue to be successful and start to spread to other countries that may be a cheaper alternative that may delay the exploitation of the arctic resources. but you know if people can can exploit a resource economically i think they will look at their investment opportunities and see where it stacks up and i wouldn't i wouldn't be at all surprised if we don't see some investment getting started but i don't think it'll it'll happen overnight so only with the u.s. becoming basically self-sufficient when it comes to gas supplies maybe becoming even and exports later on now gas from has long been saying

thank you for your dedication to the agency. if you'd like to say something. >> first of all i want to thank the director of the mta and the cfo and the senior manager hill man. i'm honored to receive the employee recognition award today. and i'm thankful for the recognition that i receive for my work. this work could not be done [speaker not understood] without my managers and coworkers to make [speaker not understood]. again, thank you for [speaker not understood] and i truly [speaker not understood]. thank you. >> on behalf of the board of directors and the entire agency, thank you for your outstanding service for all these years. the people of san francisco are very grateful to you. (applause) >> mr. haley. >> thank you, mr. chairman. our next two awardees are going to be recognized for their extraordinary deeds on what is a night a week ago sunday, which, very dramatic night for the city. the celebration of the giants' victory and the subsequent events that followed with that. and first we want to recognize mr. simon timany

that's partly a problem of cost because the agency is underfunded but i think the agency is not focused enough on the need to generate deterrent. >> sometimes they are giving out parking tickets. >> susie: let me just jump in here because we have less than half a minute. investigator, you're talking about things that they have to restore. investigator confidence is an issue, things like the flash crash and this not really making wall street accountable for that financial crisis. so what be done to restore investigator confidence in a few words? >> in very few words, enforcement is one thing. the public wants to know that those who are culpable will be held accountable. i don't think that has really happened because the sec has been too focused on quick settlements. beyond that we've got to deal with systemic risk and the really deep structural vulnerabilities that are whether the floo things like money market funds. that is the short term agenda. but on the background the basic thing to say about elise is she is very oriented toward consumer protection and does believe in a restoring in

employees it just covered the other agencies so here what you see is a focus on national security on clamping down and making sure that the flow of information doesn't take place and it errs on the side of protecting the policies and programs that are being carried out for so-called national security purposes and this really has a a root in being a response to p.f.c. bradley manning's allegedly of the wiki leaks documents which i think is important to put out for can text purposes because after that they formed a working group and started to put together this activity yeah absolutely seeing as bradley manning was a member of the military and you know is accused of leaking these classified documents this would fall under what the president has said you know needs to be monitored. so it's a what i mean as far as bradley manning i mean this you know took place two years ago or more talk about you know his role and this memo. well what we're seeing is just the slow wheels of bureaucracy turning because this was part of the program was that you would go back and get these standards and wh

considering that we've had so many cases against rating agencies over the past few years i think it's time they're under some sort of scrutiny and this may just be the the one that actually opens the doors for for a change in the actual credit rating agency world at the moment it's dominated by three players and they have been under constant. constantly under threat at the global economy at such a dire situation and position these credit rating agencies are very very slow off the mark to downgrade ations and actually at some point caused market volatility which has. put those into consideration that is somewhat justified just about shows the global frustration with rating agencies indeed at this moment i mean we still can't forget the name of mae and freddie mac. they had aaa ratings before they fell do you think the hitting the boiling point if you look at all of the last six months they've been relatively. easy for the market by reviewing by signaling in the reviews especially with spain for that reason market's been able to price in the action before it's before the actual agency h

, enforcement agencies, faith based organizations, business to work collaborative kind of the thing you see in the community and on the streets. so it's kind of a new partnership that we've built and that's that innovative component that we put into the strategy. i'm going to just talk a little bit about both myself and deanna, who is going to get up in a moment and the police department is going to get up in a moment. i focused really primarily on the i and the p, which is interrupt and predict, so i want to give an overview of what that is and how it works so you have a better understanding of what we're doing. so the interrupt part, which is also an introduction of the new zone strategy within the police department, includes the following: does this roll up? you guys have it in front of you. the violence response teams, the vrt's, it includes gay suppression efforts, violence cease fires, all of our gun abatement programs collectively and our yuelgt and family programs which also dovetails into the organizing component. a lot of these things may look familiar to you because some of t
