this is a family friendly application. it is using red and hard information, so if you are a parent here, you can no what is going on, where the nearest playground is, depending on where you are. there are five applications to date, and they work in washington, d.c., and any other state that has adopted the standard we have worked very hard to establish, and there is a whole bunch more being created. again, this is kind of leveraging the creativity of our community. in summary, the ordinance actually establishes a single portal, datasf, and it institutionalizes the method for public feedback so people can give an idea of what they are looking for. it also requires coit to deal with some of the technical aspects of open data, such as setting technical standards, looking at whether we need to make improvements in the software contract, and also, it looks to create a generic license so people are not confused as to what the legal noose is around data. so that is my presentation. if you have questions, i'm happy to -- [no audi

>> we are web application developers. sort of like the neighborhood improvement association, after- school tutoring programs, so they already require this information, but right now, it takes a long time to get it, and there is a lot of things they would want to be able to do that they do not have access to. if they get some of this information, it will help them deliver services but also advocate for certain -- supervisor mar: so i'm seeing that it is useful not just application developers but researchers and journalists and the public as well. i was in a meeting with health care advocates and organizers, but i could see that it would be useful. >> we are working on a mobile app right now. if we could get some of the other large cities, we really get a big picture of what we should be doing and where we should be targeting our efforts, so we are really excited. supervisor mar: thank you so much. >> i'm proud to live in a city that has an open date of policy. i teach at stanford university. i would like to point out the p

that is the clear where application. since the appeal was filed in a timely way and through the months of august and september we worked with the appellant group, a lot of things came to light for clear wire and american power corporation -- american power corporation. working with that and working with supervisor campos, we were able to ultimately get face space with the appellants and understand some of the underlying issues of the graffiti and some of the landscaping issues at the site. since then, american tower has taken great efforts to come into those compliances, which they have three years to do, but to do it in a more timely way. that effort is ongoing right now, as we speak. the line of action has been submitted to the board for their ongoing activities. i am going to turn the microphone over to our legal counsel, who will make some other particularly relevant comments about the ceqa exception. >> good afternoon, mr. president, members of the board. i am the outside counsel for clear wire. we are focusing now

i just want to know that of the eight applicants, two have actually withdrawn their applications not withdrawn? ok, that is wilma parker de pavloff. we will call each applicant and as each applicant to make a brief statement when you are interested in filling the vacancy, and it will provide an opportunity for the committee to ask any questions. if we could begin with vera haile. good morning. >> good morning, commissioners. i'm asking to be appointed to another term on immigrants' rights commission. my two main interests are immigrants rights and aging, and i try to put the two together. i am also on the advisory council, the advisory council to the department of aging, and i work 13 years in self-help for the elderly in chinatown and 13 years in the tenderloin, and that is where my experience with immigrants was initiated. i'm still active with many groups, and language access, which is part of immigrants' rights, is a very important issue to seniors as well as other immigrants, and i have been pleased that the language access ordinance was revised and extended and, hopefully, we w

i believe it is four or five applications that have been filed. all of the applications have to comply with new requirements established over the last couple months, and that will inevitably be a more time consuming process. we know there is a lot of interest in getting these processed, but we have a job to do in making sure the new applications comply with new rules and regulations, so we are going to process them as expeditiously as weekend, but we need -to make sure they are compliant. >> what is it in the new regulations that makes it a time consuming? isn't the work the oil companies have to do to prepare the president's -- the permits? >> the oil and gas companies do have to do additional work. i asked the question. how long does it take you. they confirmed there is additional work. even though the saudis additional rules way back in may when they saw the report with -- even though they saw these additional rules fact in may when they saw the report, that even though they have been doing some of the work since then, they are still not signif

so there's actually a very small number of applications that are truly pending. i think the number is three or four. so if we get an incomplete application, we don't have any choice but to kick them back to the companies. so the only applications that are currently on our plate, as i say, are three or four, which is not a large number. now, what i was told several days ago by our staff in the gulf is that they thought that it would not be long before for at least a small number of additional applications would be refiled, information would be complete, and we'd be able to proceed to prompt review and approval of those permits. but it's a back and forth process. obviously, information is missing we can't say we'll approve it. so we have to send it back to get information information. so it's the back and forth that's taking time. >> one of the things we're hearing people were discussing delays in the shallow water permits even before the moratorium was lifted was the holdup seemed to be around the worst case scenarios they had to plan for that really there's a gre

>> at this time, yes. >> i want to address a couple of things in the application. as far as grandfathered, there's no such thing as an entertainment permit that is grandfather. they must be applied for by every person and we are the entertainment commission. the conditions on his lease, this is not our problem. this is something that you take up with your landlord, what ever you were due diligence should have been. i have a couple of things that i wanted to say. i believe that you have to have food available as long as you search of a halt, is that correct? >> yes. >> if you are serving alcohol after midnight, you have to have food. this is not something that we can deal with here. i'd do disagree with no line outside. i waited for a seat at the chinese restaurant. you cannot have a cooper of people waiting to take that table. that is not friendly to business. >> i am wondering what happens at 11:30. it seems that most people are most likely to be there until 9:00 or 10:00 tonight. >> the code says that you need one security guard for every 100 people tend to know

we were seeking applications -- actively seeking applications from residents. had been going on two weeks before we actually met in committee. i believe one person had filed an application. the process will be open for another two weeks, but the spot is designated for a resident, and i feel very confident that a resident will be placed in that position. it does not seem to me that the thing for us to do right now is to hold up appointments of members of tida who have been sitting on tida and doing a very good job. there is nothing, in my opinion, that should prevent us from moving forward on the appointments we currently have, particularly because we are the ones who will be approving the resident, and i think we can all feel very secure in knowing that ultimately a resident will be appointed to that one particular position. so i would hope that we would move the mayor's appointments through. these are mayoral appointments that sit at the pleasure of the mayor. there is nothing to stop the new mayor from making appointments if he or she sees fit, so i think we

and that after a six-month period from the date of the document the applicant may submit an application to planning to modify the conditions to allow him to have entertainment until 2:00 a.m. on thursdays additionally. northern station recommended approval with additional conditions that i've also attached. please note the conditions allowing entertainment -- the condition allowing entertainment only until 1:30 from northern station. this is a regular condition from them. it's more restrictive than the c.u. conditions and it's in front of you for your consideration. the applicant also submitted letters of report with his application, notably from the union street association and the union street enrichment association. the other thing i did want to point out was that the planning department has indicated that the applicant is in the midst of completing a building permit application that is relevant to the second and third-floor uses. i don't believe those are entertainment uses, so they're not really something you need to concern yourself with, but they are asking staff that we not issu

his name came up with in the last year or the respondent denied the application for two reasons. he was 2 points shy of the examination which was not required to pass. there is no rule that they pass the examination, only that they take it. to the issue of being locating places within san francisco, now that there's gps, there is no reason to know exactly where every place in san francisco. many of the responses that were marked as incorrect or subjective and confusing questions, especially in light of the fact that his first language is not english. i was confused to many of the questions and i have a law degree. also one of the question was when the driver should produce a safety check. he marked his second answer which it is important, when i hear a noise while driving. as a passenger, i hope that he would perform a safety check. both answers are correct. if they go into the questions. the hearing officer consider that some of the bills were fraudulent. the decision was based on an overly critical analysis which has been abandoned. instead, the respondent sole cause for the de

>> guest: the problem is they go application by application will be very difficult. what you need to do is get some transparency to the consumers so they can see their bucket of minutes is being used up at a more or less rate by a given application. they will see that -- >> bcg, this application is going to take up too much. it's not worth my money so to speak. let's get you might have to quickly. >> guest: we think that's one mechanism that can do it. their other mechanisms that are dynamic like that. you can use an analogy to the electric grid where you have stickers on your refrigerator that says this one is expected to use so much over this period of time. i think it would be better if there was dynamic, but maybe something more static could be done, too. >> host: this is c-span "the communicators" program. our guest is gpl of the qualcomm corporation, paul jacobs. paul kirby is with "telecommunications reports." his argus reporter. >> they announced that qualcomm has announced there'll be internet report still shut down the service is entirely. you said you've b

it is unreasonable to face a denial on the application. he has been driving full time. he continues to settle this. the has more than satisfied the requirement and he has been misplaced bills. there was at least one letter and in support of his application of for medallion holders. one of the letters is a gentleman that is here today. it says here that if mr. omar said that this is not the only original bill, he has and i will respect his honesty and request that the mta and the officer understand the possibility of losing labels and conducting our business. he also at the hearing presented a list of 200 other drivers who attested to his driving and had many in the audience. thank god they did not bring them tonight because he would not have any room for them. he would like to say a few words so i will conclude when i get my rebuttal. >> good evening. i have driven a cab for 15 years. have to wonder witnesses and -- i have 200 witnesses. i am a full-time driver. call any of the witnesses. they say that i am not a first- time driver. if i make a mistake with a the time,

>> no, it's a standard application accepted by more than 100 colleges.on. >> let's take a look at these mistakes that we were just talking about. number one, this is something i think that especially because these kids are stressed out, they're in their senior year, they have got so much going on, but making basically not following directions, not really writing down everything they should? >> especially with essays, you need to adhere to word counts, character counts, you need to answer the essay questions and you would be surprised at how many students don't do that. they go over, they write too much or they don't specifically answer the question. should parents take a look at that to make sure they do that correctly? >> parents, you have to be careful because it's important for the student's voice to come through and colleges are very wise to a 47-year-old's voice versus a 17-year-old's voice. so you would be doing your child a disservice if you're going to write the essay for them. but you can certainly go to your english teacher or your high school

>> guest: the problem is asking carriers to go application by application is going to be very difficult, so i think what you need to do is give some transparency to the consumers so they can see their bucket of minutes is being used up at a more or less rate by a given application, and then they will see that as cost to them -- >> host: so there's a particular tiered price. you may see, jeez, this application's going to take too much, it's not worth my money. i'll get to my cap too quickly. >> guest: we think that's one mechanism that can do it. there are other mechanisms that aren't dynamic like that. you can use an analogy to the electric grade -- grid where you have stickers that says this one's expected to use so much over this period of time. i think it'd be better if it was dynamic, but maybe something like that could be done too. >> host: this is c-span's communicators program, our guest is the ceo and chairman of the qualcomm corporation, paul jacobs. paul kirby is our guest reporter. next question, mr. kirby. >> host: earlier this month you announced qualcomm was suspending sal

at some point, the applicant came to my staff and provided a handwritten note. my staff as i waited this and noted that there could be some discrepancies and they contacted the home office and talked to one of my permit staff. per discussion, they were authorized a four-month permit. this is not answer the question that was posed that how what an individual was given this, it would somehow change from how it would change possession. based upon this information, some have a document and we have to revoke the permit based on what appears to be fraud. had this to build a building permit or a planning document, someone would make the change. deep building believes that we acted appropriately -- the building department believes we acted appropriately. but appears that someone had manipulated information. >> it is that your handwriting? >> that is my handwriting except for number 5. >> what are the word spread of four of the line at the bottom. >> that lists 30 linear feet. >> i just want to make sure. >> when you put to that, you had written it the number four. there

as far as the test is concerned, each medallion applicant is given a test. they are all given a basic texaco driving test. the get three opportunities to take the exam and mr. omar failed all three times. there are claims that test should be irrelevant, but i think that goes to the heart of whether you know what you are doing being a taxicab driver. there are only so many ways we can get to know what you know about driving on the streets. that test is one of those ways. if someone sends a location to you, you do not want to get a complete later on that drivers do not know where they are going. that is the type of complaint we tend to get regarding this issue. this is not irrelevant. it is actually an important point in order to maintain a medallion. finally, i do not want to go into details regarding the brief. i think the brief summers up everything relatively well. there was an issue regarding mr. omar's airport transaction. his bills will typically have an sfo trip, if not several. smart cars were introduced to sfo the summer of 2007, in june 2007. you ca

the subject application, the bill to permit application was submitted at the end of december of last year. they submitted through the review process and the planning commission heard this item on may 20 and voted 5-1-1, with a commissioner absent, to approve the project as proposed. with that, there are probably some questions of what the powers of this board are. i would defer to the expert, the deputy city attorney and the deputy director, but it is my understanding of the discretionary powers of this board are broad. the discretionary powers of the planning commission are derived from powers given to this board. you can consider the impact of development applications on the adjacent property. i think that is important to know so that everybody in the stands with the roles and responsibilities of this board are. also, we're starting all over again. these to novo hearings will cure a lot of the minor here it -- all of the minor issues, whether the testimony went to 3:00 a.m., whether or not a child care center was or was not completed and the analysis. this hearing will correct all

the application deadline is february 18. between november 13 and february 13, they will complete an application form and then all of the requests will be processed at the same time. and this will go out on march 18. at that time, the families will go to school to enroll, and this is the final stage in this process. this was a very high level overview. and i can go into more detail if the commissioners have questions. but i also wanted to direct you to the application placement and roman handbook, and just to let you know that there is a lot more detail with the student assignment system. with these documents that are required. >> if people see this, where will they be able to get copies of this document? >> copies of this document are available at the education center, 555 franklin street and the child development center is at the school. and much of this information is already on the internet for the families to refer to, to use this as a medium for getting information. and there are a series of workshops for enrollment in

if you deny this application -- to uphold this application, they're going to be pushing to get his building permit. they can't get the building permit until these conditions begin to be complied with. if you take away that incentive, they will continue to comply, but i encourage you to approve the application and allow these conditions behalf -- allow them to put up the antenna so they can provide the new opportunity for broadband service. i will answer any questions. president chiu: at this time, why don't we hear from members of the public that wish to support the party of interesting. >> we are committed to completing the conditional use permit that we put together a plan to accelerate those conditions. thank you very much for your time. president chiu: any other members of the public? why don't we move to rebuttal by the appellant? three minutes. >> thank you. the tower. there is the tower. it is not going to change it that much. it is already incredibly ugly and does not belong in that part. we have looked over the action plan they gave us. it absolutely does not require the landowner

we want the applications. how you provide incentives to application developers? >> it is going to be difficult. what you need to do is get transparency to the consumer so they can see their bucket of minutes is being used by a given application. >> they see an application that is going to take up too much. it is not worth my money. >> we think that is one mechanism. there are other mechanisms that are not dynamic like that. you can use the analogy to an electric grid where you have stickers on your refrigerator that says this one is expected to use so much over this. time.d of "theis is see spam's communicators -- this is c- "pan's "the communicators program. >> behalf -- there have been internet reports that you are going to shutdown flow television. what happens with flow television. >> we have stopped our direct consumer sales. we were dealing with a partner up a television device. it did not affect the sales through wireless operators. if you have it on your own, it is still operating. what we are looking at is a couple of possibilities that we have structure

i think that is perhaps the most exciting place to see this kind of application. let me say this in closing. mark my words, this is coming to the state of california. if it takes me four years just to get it killed in committee, we are just going to keep at it until the state of california leads the way in open data. we are going to bring some sort of legislation. get ready. thank you very much. with that, ed, come up and give us a sense of the more practical applications of why you really love this. >> i actually love this from the start. i was a believer -- one thing that i have told my staff, colleagues, what we're talking about is not our data. it is not the department heads, not the city's data, it is the public's data. we have an obligation, i would say, to push it out to the public to make it available and useful to the public. when you do that, it can help the department and city, but most importantly, it can help the public. it can be very empowering. a lot of what we do, whether it is abating graffiti, picking up trash, filling pot holes, improves someon

the applicant wants to bifurcate this project. the planning commission erred. i urge you to grant the appeal, to reject the project and uphold the neighborhood. this is a vital interest to us all. i first hiked there in the 40s. i hiked there today and please correct this inequity. thank you very much. >> my name is charles kalish. i live on bernal hill. i didn't know anything about this. i came here for a different purpose. i'd like to ask you to make sure that an environmental study is done before anything is implemented. i got to say something, mr. speaker, i don't know whether it's your job or anyone else's job, but we are your electorate. and the disrespect that goes on that, is going on in this room, not just by ms. alioto-pier, but, really, everyone, not paying attention to what the public, people that took their time to come down here, is saying, it's very hurtful. president chiu: if i could ask you to limit your comments to the full board, not any one person. those are the rules. thank you. next speaker. >> good afternoon. my name is gabriella schultz

these are all great applicants and we all wish them well.or those that are not selected this morning, i hope that they will come back because we will be constantly looking for good commissioners. i would also like to think of up to it -- take the opportunity to thank you, supervisors. you have really gone to bat for us over the years and i want to thank you for your service to the community and protecting us in these tough times, as supervisor mar said. the immigrant community is under siege now, and i just want to say that you all are doing everything you can to protect us, to make the immigration experience as good as we believe it can be in this country. i also want to take the opportunity to thank the staff. they have been incredible. it has been an honor to work with her. she had done an amazing job. obviously, i am a big fan of vera haile, and i would beg you to reappoint her. she keeps a loose cannon like me in mind. her record speaks for herself. wilma parker was someone that i wanted to put forth an application. i worked with her fo

i think that concludes the testimony from all of the applicants. now let's turn it over to public comment. if there is any member of the public would like to speak on item seven, you each have two minutes. please come forward. thank you. >> good afternoon, again. i am president of the united humanitarian mission, and i support svetlana kaff. in my mind, is an ideal situation if all members of this commission will be one voice and the entertainment commission. we have people with nightclubs. one person killed a tourist from germany, and i think the members of the entertainment commission not only defend their personal interests or the interests of the industry, but defend the interests of the informant, prevent crime in our city, and because i have some experience in my commission, i know in the commissions they need advisory persons. if they have this person, that is the reason i support svetlana kaff. thank you. >> thank you. the next speaker, please. >> hello, i'm here to support linda weissman's application. i am aware of her background as an ev
