then complete the application and the permitting process starts for the applicant. the other approach which i think is a bit trickier is that the board, that the permitee submit the application to the board and the board would determine whether it's adequately permitted and issued. the first approach is i think would be more consistent with what the city would do. >> okay, maybe my logic is a little bit simplistic. but there is a permit application. that permit application was disapproved. >> it was never actually submitted. they didn't allow him to complete it. it was partially submitted but not approved. they didn't review the mobile facility permit. >> the application was submitted. but additional information was required. however there is an application in. that application has been disapproved. >> that's the same as disapproving a permit. >> it's a permit application that's disapproved. >> the question is how if you were to grant that permit, do you have before you the information necessary to support the elements of granding the permit, if you don't and you st

and make sense to ask for a new application or updated application to moved from assistant patrol special to patrol special and given all of the problems that we had and compliance and make sure we're thorough and that's where i am when i saw the packet so i will vote no on this or ask for a continuance. that's where i am. >> commissioners any further questions? commissioner loftus. >> presumably you reviewed his application and maybe you just want to talk us through the steps that you took and presumably you couldn't come and recommend him unless you looked into his background? >> past history and other complaints that have happened in his service history since now, problems like that. i looked into. that's why i did it. normally it's not done that you reprint and i did another computer check since that and use the lexus system to find minute things and i didn't find anything and normally for the application it's not required when coming from assistant to a patrol special and maybe that's the confusion. >> what about employment history and i think i know what commissioner chan is talking

move forward with the application or we have to let a new applicant have the opportunity to apply for that site. we provided the information to the applicant at the end of september. it was certified mail to him. it was returned and we e-mailed him with the exact information telling him what he can do to move forward. it was acknowledged by the applicant via e-mail. subsequent to that, at the mid-point of october, october 16th, we sent the applicant a certified letter again stating that because of inaction because of we requested for action, we have determined that you have abandoned the application and formally deny your permit and that was the trigger for the applicant to come in and appeal the decision. >> what date was that again? >> the date was october 16th was from the status history that shows that the certified letter was sent out. it was subsequent to that that the applicant came to us to try to initialize it and at that point it was too late because we went to move that forward to allow another applicant to apply for that spot. that's not necessarily means that if this appl

it's now appropriate to deny their application. we all need to a move open to our jobs and other prongs we've worked diligently here's my file on trying to work with them. at&t has not demonstrated working with us. time to move on with more time the building wouldn't be any more suitable it is and is the wrong building for this site ambassador you i trust you'll do what you need to do for us to be finished. thank you >> good afternoon commissioners islam lawrence - i am the vice president of the union station. i come to you to ask to move on. i've heard from the commissioner how they felt about the project and it didn't sound favorable. i talked to at&t they were going to come and talk to us. i waited two most and i heard from them a few minutes ago and they want to move inform 17 hundred address. what can you tell us about this at least confidentially it's already a microcould site now they're to add sites but why do we have to come down here knowing that 17 hundred is for more viable they've moved on 18 hundred can't we see or is

. 2009 was the last time the test was given and there was 10,000 applicants for the job. this is a need for secondary criteria and a secondary process i and the fire chief can make selects from that volume of candidates. we recommend those criteria whether they're language skills, fire science, course work, or employment as an emt or paramedic be made clear in the job announcement to have fair opportunities for the applicants. in addition, since the 1997 merger of the ems function into the fire department, there have opinion changes in employee classifications, particularly with regard to the cross trained firefighter, paramedic class. today, there are two classifications, there's designations and the h 3 level 3 and the h 2 p. and they have identical jobs and identical skills. we recommend the fire department and dhr work together to review the department staffing needs and insure that the classification adequately reflect the needs that they have in the department and make any necessary changes. >> in the area of promotions, the fire department, we made a few recommenda

on the consumerwatch, julie watts explains what's behind these orphan applications. >>> reporter: >> whenever i contact them they say we have no record of you. >> reporter: viewer after viewer -- >> they say my name is not in the system. >> reporter: email after email all with the same complaint. >> my applications have been lost. >> reporter: they signed up for insurance but still have no coverage because their insurance companies say they have no record of their applications. i'm sitting here with a stack of emails just this week alone. are there a lot of lost applications. >> no, not a lot as a matter of fact. >> reporter: "covered california's" dana howard says only 2% of all the applicants are dealing with this issue but that still amounts to over 12,000 californians! so what's the problem? >> when we send over the, uhm, the transmissions and verification that the person has enrolled, sometimes, uhm, there is a misalignment of data that takes place. so what actually the insurance plan sometimes is looking at doesn't quite match up with what they think that it should be. >> repor

many don't have this provision on their application but this was a given the box would come off. we didn't want o l s c to be second guessing the decisions that the employers make whether or not the civil action was an issue. it was the timing that the employer can you couldn't ask or inquire into the job history. we really want to thank the supervisors and their staff for working with us. it was a unsatisfactory process and we're happy about the outcome and the chamber of commerce >> thank you. any other members of the public? >> welcome. thank you. my name is roxanne and i - >> excuse me. cue speak into the microphone. >> my name is recognizing an and i work for the treasure island homeless initiative. we're very pleased as well that the supervisors and the entire city and employers have begun along with the ban of the box. our population that we serve is persons that are disadvantaged economically but they're the person who have the barriers to employment. our constituents are the people who have a criminal record from the 80's or 90s that have to do with marijuana but we have

it's a permit application in process. so my vote would be that we don't have jurisdiction to do anything at this point. it's an administrative, the dpw has administrative discretion to deem it abandoned. that's my position on it. >> what you are saying is we shouldn't have accepted this appeal? >> right. >> i understand that point. i think it was confusing in trying to figure this out and i'm sure it was confusing for the legal side to look at this. but i would probably approach this slightly different in saying how can we allow some level of closure. i would probably allow him to complete his application because i think there is going to be appeals that the directors hearing and let them go through their process to determine whether it's an appropriate location and then we'll see whatever comes back to us. >> right, but what authority do we have to do that to do anything? >> i thought we had two options, one was to allow him to complete the application by granting the appeal. >> in essence by doing that you are consentin

as you can see over recent years, the number of female applicants has been trending down. so even though currently the composition of female employment in the fire department work force is meeting that ten percent threshold, the decline in the number of applicants seem to indicate that attention should be focused on recruitment efforts and we have recommended that the fire department develop a recruitment strategy and plan and that they coordinate with employee organizations actively around their individual recruitment efforts. we also recommended that as the department of human resources implements it's new testing model by which firefighters will be tested for recruitment into the department, that they provide -- dhr provides the chief and commission ongoing performance results of that model as its rolled out so that the department can insure that it's recruiting the full force that it needs. so the process of selecting candidates for the h 2 which is the entry level firefighter class or the academy class has been complicated overtime by the large number of applicants. 2

with our current system the written application becomes the blockade. the checked box becomes a red flag so large that everything else on the page is obliterated. there is no advancement to a face to face interview. there is no precious 7 seconds that can change someone's life for the better with a job or housing. the system is so prejudicial that it's denying applicants those critical 7 seconds to engage the interviewer. in my career in vocational rehabilitation, of both hired staff and trained clients preparing to enter the job market. looking back, i can identify a commonality among my very favorite clients. those who stood out as charming and earnest in their quest for success. what was that commonality? the clients with the greatest potential had all been incarcerated. the box must go. people must not be prejudged. they must all be allowed that second 7 seconds and beyond for interviewers to see what i saw. >> thank you. >>> good afternoon, supervisors. my name is matthew [speaker not understood]. i'm a proud member of all of us or none. you know,

the application was not heard so we want to make sure that happened. they've been in business over thirty years and their permit was slightly outdated because it was juan torres and now the staff at that time, felt it noted to be updated so they went through the entire process and got their sign offices. the new permit officer has not had a chance to visit the restaurants but he understands the commission needs to act >> great ms. torres. >> she doesn't speak english. i'm the manager the night club and we've been returning the club for 35 years now >> okay. great. are there any police to speak to this? yeah. why don't i have a seat if we have questions we'll come back >> i'm inspector keller and the police department has no issues with = cap at the. >> great commissioners you have any questions for the applicant or police. great. is there any public comment on this >> seeing none. >> - oh, there is. >> nope false alarm. >> i'm happy to take a motion. >> i move to accept this permit. >> a second. >> a motion and second let's take a vote. i want to say o

large volume of applications that do come in. it's over 56 percent of the division that works on application review. there has been an increase in applications over the year for building permits for existing alterations as well as condominium and subdivision additions. we have the current staffing level reflect the increase over the few years due the public commitment for better public service through expertise and reduce wait times. staff will also be continuing different training efforts to remain up to date on the number of changes that occur to the planning code over the year. there will be some on going process improvement as well for the maintenance and keep of the various guidelines and documents that we make available to project sponsors and the public. so now moving on to the citywide planning division. the division is proposed to remain stable over the next 2 fiscal years. the changes of the distribution of the fte's to the work program areas is for only of the reorganizationing of the representation of the programs tha

our interests primary were were to get qualified applicants into the jobs and enable the position to be filled. we didn't want this to be cumbersome that you set people up to fail all along the process to be hired and there is something that makes them unsuitable weighing we've advocated this early so it will happen after the first interview and we're graltd about that. everybody we worked with all the companies and biz businesses were clear they were comfortable. many don't have this provision on their applicaion but this was a given the box would come off. we didn't want o l s c to be second guessing the decisions that the employers make whether or not the civil action was an issue. it was the timing that the employer can you couldn't ask or inquire into the job history. we really want to thank the supervisors and their staff for working with us. it was a unsatisfactory process and we're happy about the outcome and the chamber of commerce >> thank you. any other members of the public? >> welcome. thank you. my name is roxanne and i - >> excuse me. cue speak into the microphone. >>

then i think at&t should send a letter to dpw that satisfies the requirements for an application for permit requesting that the permit be granted so that we know what the permit at issue truly is that at&t has satisfied all conditions of the permit and dpw has a chance to say we are denying the permit for reasons one, two and three in this letter or this application, then thosish shies would come before you for /aeu analysis and appeal. >> i think what our city attorney just state d makes sense to me because the permit that will ultimately be denied is the permit which we have jurisdiction to hear and it will be included in that as the matters that you brought today on appeal. so we will get there. i agree, this must be frustrateing, but that is part of the city process. i understand your argument on the law, but i don't want to mess with the city process because i don't want to operate outside our current jurisdiction. >> i heard something a little troubling, and i don't know that this is germane to the particular issue. the represent said that at&t was asked to go out, meet with th

review more than 56 percent and there's been a conditioned use of applications over the past years with noble increases in building permits as well as condo with the recent change of legislation. there's been an there in volume and backlog because how quickly the volume has been coming in. the division has adequate staffing and reflects the current staffing where they've increased the staffing to provide better service to the public. staff will be working on continued changes to the planning code and the ongoing processes updating various plagues and implicitly documents we magician available to the public. now the historic preservation will be presented by tim fry >> good afternoon i'll briefly walk you through this slow down per. in particular let's look at listens two or three and 6 and 7. there's been a significant increase in preservation most notably the historic review with sequa review and minor permits to alternate under article 11. the two most active conservatism district. and as was mentioned the pace a of planners keeping up with that workload has been a challenge and durin

because it's a hopeless application. it's a reckless application and it's a pointless application. >> paul brunson is a professional matchmaker and author of "it's complicated." he says lulu is a dangerous way to start a relationship. >> i think this turn submission that's important in our lives, perhaps the most important thing we'll ever do is date in a committed way and get married, it takes something very serious and it makes it a game. it's just not a game. >> while our lucky back lor alex is waiting in manhattan, we hopped in a car heading across town and gave alex's lulu page a final once over. >> wow, he's handsome. >> isn't he? >> my rating was pretty good from what i saw. i saw some comments, one was a mama's boy. yes, i do love my mom. so i guess that's pretty accurate. >> i hung back at the bar as the two of them are about to meet for the first time. >> hi. >> we finally meet. >> it's like the biggest table of all time. how you doing? alex. >> sara. >> nice to meet you as well. >> i just moved to new york a y

so they're the very end of that provision states the applicant shall certify the tenant shall occupy after the eviction. either the tenant shall certify to the planning commission that the original tenant reply or the applicant shall send to the planning commission that even though tenant choose not to reoccupy it >> i guess my question is so in terms of i guess know if the board is here? no it is that would be helpful in the rent board we are were here when i have a situation when the at that particular time is temporarily evicted and then in terms of what the process is right now they have a right to return. and assuming they could bring a cause of action if not given the right in the landlord fixes the unit over the tenants objection. but how the rent board determines whether the tenant has a deserve to return or wave that right do they require a declaration. i ask only because we have a situation where a tenant has not decided to return and didn't want to sign a declaration obviously ideally it would be great to sign a declaration whether or not to return but that's in light of n

the application will list the seats and the criteria for filling the seats. the noontime should be posted on the dbi website soon i hope. so potential plants and interested persons that want to apply should check the dbi website. anyone wanting more information should contact the respective secretaries the code advisory committee is neil. yeah, we changed it to rick. and the board of examiner is - . we need to fill 3 new seats on the board of examiners. this is posted on the dbi website. those 3 seats were created by the soft story legislation and they're one think for the tenant seat it needs to be an architect or structural engineer. the homeowner or property owner needs to be an architect or structural engineer. the deadlines for applications for the expired seat and the new seats will be the end of february, february 28th. the nomination committee will moot in early march to review the applications then we'll figure out what to do after that. regarding the current members on those 3 bodies we want to thank all the current members and ask that they're inte
