maybe it should be agendized, but i will not be here for it, so i will not say one way or the other. director metcalf: i just want to say thank you for raising the issue. >> we have a long closed session. >> we are looking at building a building adjacent to that, and it has been to the knowledge of staff for many years, so we are trying to get the design finalize so we can move forward. the idea of there are other alternative exit ways to be had, so with a little thought and head-scratching, we can develop a win-win strategy, and right now, it is sort of a win-lose strategy. >> thank you very much. >> no other members of the public indicated they wanted to address you under public comment. with that, we can move into the consent calendar. >> we have three items. the minutes, which i will recuse myself from, from the last meeting. and then a couple of amendments. >> we can call the member -- the minutes separately, sever those from the calendar. >> all right, is there any motion for approval on items 7.2 and 7.3? ok, and the objection? seeing none, passes unanimously. i will recused f

. -- agendized. but there are some items that i think reflect the transportation sustainability program, especially if those strategies are to help orchestrate it in this area. so keep in mind, you may want to continue to work with our mtc representatives. some of these items that are coming up very much affect mtc discussions as well. >> i would be happy to calendar those on a periodic basis, and direct report from the executive director. i can work with them to see what the schedule is on mtc, what they prefer to do. commissioner mirkarimi: instead of the supervisor's introduction time, that also helps, but it is also bolstered by the transportation authority. if commissioners wiener and campos agreed, it could be something that ta staff want to consider as well. there are things that we have been monitoring closely and we are pretty much intersected on what has been happening. >> thank you for that point. would be useful to agendize that. commissioner campos and i work closely with the ta on a reg

. >> i just want to remind the board that this item is not again rise -- agendized for discussion today. if you want to discuss this, you should consider putting it on the agenda for a future meeting. >> is this something you would like to agendize? director metcalf: i have so much to learn about the design. what is the normal process for this body of reviewing the design issues? >> we are happy to brief you on design issues. certainly, as part of my report, i could give you more in-depth briefing. we could always do that. or you could come to our office, and we could brief you directly. whatever you would like. i think we are good now. >> my experience -- for 12 years, i was on the emeryville redevelopment agency and counsel. i can tell you that the only i can tell you that the only thing i can say is one of the

. >> you generally can make announcements without having to agendize the item under the brown act, but if it's a report from one of your standing committees under the brown act, it would require that we post that report, as well, but you are free to make an announcement if the committee has an announcement rather than a report from its committee meeting. president mendoza: if the committee leaders have an announcement they'd like to make about their committee meeting, you're welcome to do that at this time. let's start with commissioner norton? commissioner norton: the curriculum and program committee met on september 19. we had two informational items. we heard a really interesting presentation put together by janet schultz, so thank you for that, on the various aspects of our summer school, how students did in our summer school, some things lincoln did last year. they married funding and built a program for all this students that was innovative. we heard from the special ed department about extended school year and some of their planning. we also heard a report on the planning for tr

this is not a substitute for a big agend a.t couldn't get passed and the goal of the white house to convince people that the president has a plan and fighting for the middle class and republicans blocked him from doing anymore. >> there was another interesting development on the president's western campaign swing. he made remarks at a fundraiser in san francisco. let's watch. >> we have lost our ambition and imagination and our willingness to do the things that built the golden gate bridge and hoover dam and unleashed all of the potential in this country. >> dana, that is after the president a couple of weeks ago talked about the country getting a little soft competitively. is there a political strategy behind ineffect talking down the country? >> not whon that i can see and comes interestingly in the wake of the death of steve jobs which we celebrated as one of the best innovators of history and maybe world history if we live longg enough to understand that. in 2010 election, in the midterm, there was a check on his legislativ

>> we can as a matter of moving forward, we can agendize all the committees that met in the previous two weeks as a place holder so we can properly compile it. >> we're usually pretty good about it. let's make sure that the committees -- whatever -- whenever we have any meetings set, let's put it in the agenda. and i want to make a quick announcement that this weekend is the 11th annual harley strictly blue grass festival put on for free for the city which is a huge contribution to our city and he, every year, kicks it off by taking all of the middle schoolers to listen to blue grass music so he's going to do that again. he's moving it up to a thursday because friday is going to be all day he's actually adding acts so all day friday will be the festival itself. so once again, m.c. hammer will be performing for the kids on thursday from 10:30 to noon if anybody would like to come out and join the kids. commissioner norton? commissioner norton: i wanted to say that many of the schools located around golden gate park have turned this into a fundraiser and are allowing people to pay to p

architectural foundation and enterprise high school students and maybe aden again diez -- and to agendize topic and there was a residential project that had huge implications to the school district and that would have been an interesting thing for a lot of the kids to talk about or think about. and they are normally not thinking in context of this project and walking to school but would have been interesting to put before them. and anything to kind of have young people come here and be part of the process because they will learn and also the parents will learn and it is something that spreads the word to get people involved earlier. and that is interesting and you were talking about social media plans in general and what else that you were all planning on in that social media space. and are we thinking about opening a twitter account? >> one of the things we are already working on is we got through the process a lot of positive comments. still room for tweaks but a you tube, twitter, and facebook account and i think that -- and i can be corrected, but we have some expertise on that and wi

friendly audiences, not so friendly audiences, that they are not working hard enough to enact his agend speech, he said take off your bedroom slippers, put on your marching shoe it's. >> not my fault. >> not my fault. go to the fund-raisers. white house sends out transcripts. in each one he said, i never told you this is going to be easy. you have to work hard and have sacrifice. to the people who are not his fans, he talks about shared sacrifice, meaning have you to pay more taxes. >> i went back and listen to the speech by jimmy cartener 1979, the crisis of confidence. i practically wanted to commit suicide. but in doing research, it was well received. go fog that. you know, he make its -- it's almost pathetic and self reflecting. what i find so unusual about this one is that the one great strength he has running for office was his inspiration, he made people feel great. now he's making americans feel lousy. they are soft. >> they are lazy. it's so different from his political strategy in '08. you know, it's surprising? >> they don't feel soft. they want to work. they are not enough j

he has a big reform agend amplt the 9-9-9 plan hasn't worked out.ut it's a bold, big reform agenda that addresses the problem that we face. i think that's why there is interest in governor christie, one has the sense he will do the same. he may not check all the boxes on republican orthodoxy, but i think a lot of tea party members are beyond expecting a candidate to dutifully check every box. if you think that mitt romney would govern more conservatively than chris christie, i doubt that. >> people at republican edge of politics, they really like herman cain. you were on target when you said, people li us, we don't understand how is herman cain up in the ranks with these people? but they like him and they think that the 9-9-9 plan is coherent. they think he's a warm personality. they like his surviving cancer story. they see him as a populist edge. at the moment, we haven't talked about the democrats. but remember, president obama and the democrats are having great success right now with their class warfare argument. the fox poll that came out this

would be useful to agendize that. commissioner campos and i work closely with the ta on a regular basis, and they are extraordinarily helpful in providing information, helping with technical assistance. two quick things as an update. at tomorrow's mtc meeting, we will be taking up the issue again on whether or not to move the mtc headquarters, colo kidded with several other agencies, to san francisco, after some chaos after the committee was formed in the recommended that we proceed with the purchase. there had been growing support for that. i'm optimistic there. i also believe we will have a hearing in the next month or two on ab 57, which is very important here in san francisco. i am confident we can have a good discussion on whether or not that bill should proceed. commissioner mirkarimi: commissioner campos? commissioner campos: just to follow-up on what commissioner wiener said, i think it is important to note, all of the city agencies in both of our offices are working to ensure there is a cohesive city strategy
