it is an amazing city to live in. to age in. we all want to do this in a dignified way. this is just the beginning of the conversation. we will continue to work on these issues together. supervisor olague, do you have any concluding comments? supervisor olague: i am not sure where that conversation would take place. i am not familiar all the rules of the government body, the brown act and sunshine ordinance, but i think we do need to have a conversation about the next step. there was some talk of having a conversation at some point where we could work with the department of asian -- of aging and adult services and find out how they are engaged on this issue. the senior network, clay for elders, have been involved in the ihss. there are so many groups talking about senior issues in general about which the lgbt community is excited -- is affected by. we heard the particular situation around the transgendered community, which are truly unique. issues that affect transgendered situation -- seniors, we do not know what we do not know. planning for elders to have that training

city. we contributed to causes such as the boys and girls club which is an amazing organization. the rotary club, i am a previous past president of the rotary club in bayview. i engaged someone in legislative policy. i was involved in the alcohol tax. that was -- there were books in favor of that. there is concerns we had about that. i think why i am here, in a unique position. i believe based on my experience that son -- san francisco small business is on the ropes. it is difficult whether you have one employee or 20 or 50 to do business. it is a difficult climate. i am here to contribute my time to serve you, to be someone who is a sounding board to try and reconcile our ideology we have here. we have so many great ideas we want to implement. over the course of the year we have been here, there has been a distorting further away from what it costs to pay for these programs. we are not generating the revenue we need. what i want to be is the person that can help make rational decisions. my strength is critical thinking. i have seen a lot of laws that start out with great intenti

incredibly interested in their city government, local politics, and making sure that we remain the most amazing cityn the world. i learned that san franciscans during campaign read everything they are sent in the mail. they love to meet the candidates and engage in conversations with them. i learned how important it is to build bridges between different communities, particularly communities of diversity that we have. i was incredibly honored to have been elected in november of 2008. >> where do you place yourself on the political spectrum? >> i consider myself someone who shares the progressive values that many sentences can hold dear. we have been a beacon to the rest of the world region that many sentences skins hold dear. we have been a beacon to the rest of the world for those. >> you are president of the board. describe the role of the opposition and the responsibilities that come with being the president of the board of supervisors. >> as president, i preside over the weekly meetings we have tuesday at 2:00 here in the chamber. i also determine which legislations will go to various committees

petersburg is a remarkable and amazing city. when peter the great selected this isolated site, it didn't seem to have a chance of surviving. but he wanted to find a place and provide both an outside port for russia so that europeanization of his country could begin in earnest. it was the only way he could see to reay modernize russia, and he succeeded. st. petersburg became the cultural center and the catal right up to the time of the revolution. narrator: after the 1917 revolution, st. petersburg was renamed leningrad, after the new leader, lenin. he moved the capital to moscow and decided the cultural heart of russia would instead become an industrial center. then, in 1989, the soviet era ended. st. petersburg regained its original name. since then, russia has gone through a wrenching transition from the old communist system to the new free-market economy. the changes in this city of five million people have affected everyone. the first time i was in st. petersburg was in the late '80s, a few years before the breakup of the so

initially, our views were that the city's amazing historic resources work at much less risk than the city's ability to meet its urban infill goals and its ability to change, as all cities must. we think supervisor wiener deserves enormous credit for bringing it forward pierre the process seems to have bogged down, and suddenly, conversation started and things started to move. it is plain that enormous compromises have been made, and that is significant in this town, given the way process moves. i think it is fair to say that we would support the planning commission playing a significant, active role in this as it moves forward. because you are required to take so many other factors into consideration. i think back -- that i would say that we would support the remarks that spur has made and other experts. i think that the amendments that supervisor wiener put forward appear common sense. they appear achievable. and they deserve your support. to come this far means that a lot of ground has been given on both sides. i know it is a moving target. have not seen the latest l this moves it i

it was amazing 22 years ago this city in the bay area region experienced the loma prieta earthquake. i was not yet in the fire department. it was about five months before i joined and like anne alluded to, if anyone lived here, they remember where they were. >> i was at a high school when it happened and all of us remember the frightening moments and the aftermath of loma prieta. and it's always fitting when we celebrate an anniversary to take a minute not only to commemorate that but to next on the importance of how the community needs to step up and assist the paid professionals, if you will. the san francisco fire departments, our respective departments are adequately resourced for any given day for emergencies here in san francisco. as you know, though, that all goes out the window for a large-scale disaster be it man made or not. that's why we always talk about preparedness. the more prepared we are, the quicker we'll be able to respond and the more efficient the recovery is. that's important to partner witho agencies as well as with our community partners. i think our deputy an

but i also see so much potential, so many amazing people, and we in city government have an opportunityo address so many problems and make so many things better. the campaign was a learning experience on so many levels. beyond that, i think you've learned something about yourself when you are putting yourself out there through the political process. i was very lucky that i had that opportunity because where i come from something as basic as free, democratic elections, that is a luxury. people participate in the democratic process. that is something that is quite amazing and remarkable. i think that you do not fully appreciate it if you have had it all your life. whereas someone who came from a place where that was not possible, i think that i have a unique appreciation for it. it was really an exciting thing to do. >> where would you place yourself now on the political spectrum? the left, the right? supervisor campos: i think the labels can mean a lot of different things. i see myself as someone who ultimately has tried to make things better for people. i have a progressive outlook in t

i was always interested in san francisco in terms of what it is as a city, its culture, it's amazing lgbt community. i came out here for a summer, fell in love with it. i have been interested in politics since i was a kid. i worked on campaigns as a teenager. i was involved campaign against senator jesse helms when i was in college. when i cannot hear, and was not initially involved politically. -- when i came out here, i was not initially involved politically. i helped to build the lgbt community center. i started doing campaigns. i gradually got involved in democratic party politics. i got involved in the alice b. toklas democratic club. i ran for the democratic central committee in 2004. i ended up sharing the committee. it was a gradual process for me. by the time i started thinking about running for supervisor, it made sense because of my involvement in the community and in politics. >> what did you learn from campaigning for supervisor? >> i learned a lot. i knocked on about $15,000. -- i knocked about 15,000 doors. i met a huge number of people. that is the best way to learn a

amazing experience. this board is such a vital asset for the city and community of san francisco. i am pleased and proud to be part of the exciting developments going forward. one thing i learned in my briefing is that while we are not a traditional part, we do not move things. we move people. the move more people than any other port. this today is really exciting. this is another milestone in our movement of people, with the establishment of this cruise terminal in san francisco. i also want to acknowledge my other commissioner, leslie. we work for a revolt of the commission. i want to say we have a female executive director. we only have one male commissioner. give us a lot of credit. this is exciting for all of us, and the commission is very excited to work on this. while i was not hear from the efforts that started in 1998, this is the fourth attempt to build a cruise terminal. this time, it is going to succeed, which is very exciting. i want to give credit to the port staff, who have never given up. you have heard from the mayor and president chiu about what the cruise termin

amazing. he really gets this. as city administrator, he was in charge of our recovery efforts.ve many examples already of what we have been able to do in san francisco. much of the work we have been doing already fits perfectly with ndrs. i am so excited we are able to host this wonderful group today to begin to talk about how we think now in advance of how we're going to recover. san francisco has already come up from the flames. we are a phoenix. we have come back once and twice. when the next disaster hits, we will come back quickly again. using the newç framework to put meat on the bones, what does that mean? what do we need to think about today in advance in each of these recovery support functions? what questions do we have to ask today to begin to pull our partners in? do we begin to pull those folks in that we need, the leaders from the groups? the nonprofits, the hospitality industry, the lifeline council. we need to be at the table today asking the disposal -- asking the difficult questions and figuring out how we will respond and recover quickly in the future. it is

[laughter] we saw real estate values dropping precipitously. as far as we were concerned, that was a good thing because it enabled us to move into market street. the city had encouraged us to do so, too, as they were very much interested in revitalizing market, 6th and market, which is essentially part of the tenderloin. we thought there were a lot of opportunities there. we know something about making urban environments vital. given the present political move, people are open to new ideas. that is true across the country. our burners are being asked to come into centers of vari

amazing. i dwru up in new york city, born and raised. and one of the things my mother did early is take me to the theater and it's something i fell in love with as a very young girl. it just takes you to a whole other place, a whole other world. it's magical. so here comes "stick fly" in my world. it's about an incredible black family on martha's vineyard and how families unravel. their vulnerabilities and how things come out and secrets come out that happen in every family. how you deal with that and get past what's going on in each person's life and how to help each other. it's family and it's so powerful to me. so i fell in love with it. >> what is this, some sort of test? playing in the big league? >> that's ridiculous. is that what that is about? have you lost your mind? this is upper middle class. >> nothing was solid. >> you had an entree. >> entree, what? >> you're not just producing, you wrote the music for it as well? >> correct. it's really cool, it's a brand-new thing for me, totally, totally new and it's not a musical.

president and has been close to us for a long time through the council of great city schools and others. but the amazing thing is that this is a great example of setting the agenda and doing effective advocacy. this campaign has taken over new york state. and the amazing thing is that now this, year and last year, politicians of both parties have been using the phrase "be the change for kids" in their campaigns. so in this time of extreme political tension over budgets and school budgets and funding for kids, i just hope that we see this as an example ta we are willing to talk about -- that we are willing to talk about and ourselves, we certainly will through the california school boards association, but also here in our district, to think about our advocacy messages and how we can really be effective at doing this with our partners. so thank you for the moment, the privilege. president yee: deputy superintendent. >> thank you, president yee. i wasn't quick enough to let you on on the national board certified, i think it would be important to recognize the fact that this past week assistant superintende
