we have staff from dpw and bill sanders from the city attorney's office should you have any questions. we also have omar masry from the city planning department for any questions. with that we can hear from the city attorney if they want to give additional comment. otherwise -- prepared remarks or just here for questions? all right. any more questions at this time? okay, no questions on my end. we do not have a budget analyst report for this item so we will open this up for public comment. i have one speaker card, martin fineman and if there's anyone else who wishes to speak on this item publicly please line up against the far wall. everyone will have two minutes. thanks for being here. thank you, did you say two minutes? my name is martin fineman and i'm with the davis wright law firm here in san francisco. i'm here speaking on behalf of crown castle ng west as well. i provided written comments which i believe your honor has received. if not, i certainly brought additional copies with me. the proposed amendments, frankly, are too many and too varied to go through all of my written co

all i'm asking is to be allowed to meet with bill sanders and talk to come up with a workable system and not rush into this legislation. we have been working with other cities, the city of los angeles for their bureau of street lighting for putting facilities on street lights is exempting local facilities from these permits, that's because the bureau of street lights, just like the public utilities commission, will have full authority as a landlord to do whatever they want in terms of what goes on those poles including any modifications you may be concerned about under 6409. if you exclude city-owned properties you don't have to worry about 6409, you don't have to worry about the telecommunications act. we encourage you to step back, look at this legislation, don't create more legislation that's going to create more litigation. do it right this time. you need to know every one of these poles can come before you on appeal under ceqa already because of noticing. send this back and allow us to meet with the city attorney. thank you very much, any questions? i think that's the last comme

bill sanders. one of the aspects of culture that is extraordinarily variable is the economy. economy means the ownership of property and the production and distribution of goods. there are cultures and economies in which every nuclear family is self-sufficient. and then there are economies where there is considerable interdependence among the various households. one of the measures of economic complexity is just the amount of what we call division of labor -- occupational specialization. keach: archaeologists have recently discovered evidence of occupational specialization in teotihuacan like the manufacture of clay figurines. figurines came in a variety of styles many painted and highly detailed. thousands of these sculpted faces have been discovered. they were probably used in ritual. many are exactly the same, indicating they were mass produced in molds. across the atlantic is fez, morocco, a city that has changed little in a thousand years. here can be found an analogy for the economy of ancient teotihuacan. this is a leather tanning workshop where fine skins are produced

just this week bernie sanders introduced an infrastructure bill to create millions of jobs. that would increase wages for millions of americans. in addition to just employing them. it would affect the entire market. and democrats need to show americans a vision like that. you know i think when we look at the fight in december when elizabeth warren in the senate and the progressives in the house really stood on principle and drew a line in the sand we lost the vote but it had a huge impact. there were quotes for wall street the very next week saying wow, given the fight that democrats just did we'll be lucky if there's not more regulation this next congress that we're now. essentially they went from playing defense to playing offense and having wall street running scared. that's the kind of fighting experience americans need. >> and quickly, the polling that your organization has done proves americans want an increase on social security. they don't want to the privatize it. i ask that question for verification on the poll numbers because the republicans are talking about back

hill is expected to take up the pipeline bill friday's vote came after the nebraska supreme court threw out a lawsuit challenging the proposed route. bernie sandersme now. what a pleasure to see you. >> good to be with you. >> the bill passed the house last week it will likely pass in the senate why do you think the president should veto this? >> well because i think it's a good idea for the president, congress and american people to live to the overwhelming amount of scientists who tell us loudly and clearly that climate change is one of the great planetary crises that we face. and that it is absolutely imperative. this is not bernie sanders, this is the scientific community who tell us that climate change is real, it is caused by human activity, the emission of carbon that it is already causing devastating problems on this planet in terms of drought and flood and extreme weather disturbances. unless we get our act together the planet that we're going to be leaving to our kinds and grandchildren will be snasktly less habitable than the planet we have right now. we have to reverse climbed change, and the idea of going to an area and allowing for

bill passed 93-for. senators from bernie sanders to ted cruz voted for it and everyone thought it worked. it hasn't cost the government and nickel. it will pass easily but unfortunately it got caught up in the machinations of the house and there were some on the house but didn't want this terrorism insurance at all and some were extremely reluctant. i will say this ibb the speaker and majority leader understood the importance of this and i worked with them in the later months of last year to try to get a bill done. and at the end of the day i was able to negotiate a bill with the chairman of the house banking committee who was a reluctant supporter of terrorism insurance and to come up with a proposal that made some changes but kept the program intact. it was a good compromise that is before us here today. it's a little different than the original bill and it extends us for six years. the hundred million dollars limit has been raised to 200, but still the program can function very well under these proposals embody brought it early in the session, i'm glad it passed the house and i'm glad

newly republican-led senate energy committee approved the bill, which president obama has vowed to veto. vermont independent senator bernie sandersenounced the measure. >> i am very worried about the united states congress turning its back on science, turning its back on those people who tell us that we have got to cut carbon emissions rather than give a green light for the exploration and production of some of the dirtiest oil on this planet. i think, frankly, that is crazy. >> the vote comes as one of the senate's leading voices on environmental protection california democratic senator barbara boxer, has announced she will not run for re-election in 2016. boxer, who was first elected in 1992, has supported reproductive rights and gun control and was one of the immortal 23, the 23 senators who voted against authorizing the u.s. invasion of iraq. a coalition of democratic lawmakers has joined with labor and environmental activists to oppose president obama's plan to fast-track approval of trade deals. the obama administration has been quietly pressing for the authority to secretly negotiate trade pacts and then rush them through
