they represent the entire city, there are there aredots in new -- are no disproportionate dots in any city. typically how we do this over control in the system is through maintenance effort. grease traps, keeping sources clear, keeping grease collection out of it. removal of sand and debris. a lot of material but cumulates in the system but needs to be removed so that the system can run as smoothly as possible. certainly, cleaning of the system is included. however, there would be a capital effort including installation and construction of new vent systems, treatment systems. this is focused on some areas where we have had odor complaints coming issues, and can address them through the vent program. this would enable venting of gases from the sewer system. >> you had made a comment the other day that the -- the number of complaints or dispersion of complaint areas was getting worse over time because of efforts to reduce the inflow? >> water conservation has been a wonderful but also difficult for us on the waste water side. less water is going through the system. the system is designed wit

of course, any city has distractions. its own unique kinds of distractions. but in the evaluation processes, because every team has to go through this, how do you know, how do you figure out who you are drafting, trading for, bringing in the right kind of players that can handle the unique distractions of this particular environment? >> that is a great question. obviously, the combination of first finding the player that has the talent to be successful in our league, but trying to find a player that is motivated past money, that is motivated to excel. i think it is. what i mean by that is, certainly, what you are trying to find is that person who is driven to be great, and, certainly, and they are going to make an awful lot of money, and it is not as much as a basketball player might or a baseball player, but a person who is driven to win, and are be perfect with that, no, but i do think that there can be mistakes made that can set you back if you are not attempting to do that, and i think that became one of our big focal point in 2006 with the draft, with fr

context of their contribution to the cultural heritage and history of our city and that artistic expression, and as the centerpiece of anyssful economic revitalization in cities across the country, it is a vibrant art form. it is a real commitment. [applause] so we have spent a great deal of time really analyzing how we can build on that and analyzing how we can make appropriate investments, and i will talk about the arts budget, and i will give you a sense of what we are valuing in this budget and how we believe we can aspire to the framework of economic growth and revitalization. this multi agency effort has been advanced not just by city departments representatives but by community leaders. so many wonderful things have happened that we are starting to pull them together. one of them is the remarkable effort under way is through the better market street project, where there is a real commitment to a improving the realm, a focus on more reliable transit. to remove at least 150 cars. it turns out that was the number of cars every hour or so that has been redirected, particularly going eastbound into the market quarter -

you don't walk around any major city and see scores of families creating ghettos like we saw during the great depression we don't and central park has not been getting into and out of disgust. for it either but it is not because because america being a wealthy society means that being unemployed is completely different than being unemployed in a country like haiti which we've talked. but before there are resources there are networks in even if you don't have close family and friends where you live there are local. shelters or ministries or community offerings that can help provide a support i get that i get that but tell me this because we're talking about failed economic policies of the past and how americans are just going to have to get over and there you have to move americans aren't the reason that we're in a recession right now wall street is the reason that we're in a recession right now but wall street got bailed out wall street the bailed out and now they're the exactly the first sector to rebound and bounce them so why is the thing americans should pay again they don't deserve

any? >> it would help the city overall in terms of what are the high impacts. supervisor maxwell: give me an example. >> what's the impact of spending on -- well, i think a park is an interesting example, because it's not a direct business benefit, but it does increase the amenity value. it makes it easier to attract and retain workers, improve the quality of life, and directly is an ingredient to business recruiting. that would be an interesting thing to try to quantify versus investment in expanding bugs transit, for example, which also has business benefits in terms of shortening commutes and reducing the cost of transporting workers to work, things like that. almost everything that the government does benefits business directly, or indirectly, because it benefits people directly, which are the labor force that drives that business. but i'm not aware of sort of systemic studies. my office doesn't get into the economic impact of specific appropriation decisions. i do think it would be an interesting exercise to sort of look at potential high impact things the

non waiver of damages, including a non waiver of special damages, punitive damages, or any other claim that the city could have.vis a vis the developer. if i may simply add something to that motion? i think if you asked staff, they would tell you that if there is a correlation between the actions of the developer in terms of its failure to do or not do something related to this project that liability would exist. i think that having that language in their confuses the issue. i do not think that in the and, -- end, the practical consequence of the language changes anything with respect to the developer, but i think it just clarify as that the city -- clarifies that the city would enforce all of its legal rights under the common law, and that is why i am making that motion, that the approval is contingent upon a non waiver of monetary damages, special damages, punitive damages, or any other claim that the city may have vis a vis the developer. president chiu: supervisor campos has made a motion with regard to the damages. do you have language? i think that would be great. i think there are some questi
