but that is not the board. that is just the staff. >> i would guess -- i mean, if they say that, probably the board. i'm not aware of votes. i am just trying -- >> at their representative to the organization also spoke at the meeting last week in support of the plan. and council said no. we will support the bay delta plan. what happens is there is a groupthink. if we keep talking about these voluntary settlements, maybe they will magically work out. if we keep talking about the river management plan, may be able happen. if it doesn't, there is no fallback plan. that is a big difference between the states proposing and what s.f. p.u.c. are proposing. but if these nonslip measures work, if you go down to 30% of impaired flow. there is a backup. it is all about getting results. our concern is that the s.f. p.u.c. alternative is about checking things off a list. and hay, gosh it did not work out. i'm sorry. >> i am interested in this conversation of negotiated settlements. i'm trying to understand -- i do believe t

or to run for the board. was how to get closer in terms of the city and the school district, but at the end of the day, i feel it was probably one of the most brilliant strategies we had in order to open the flood gates, services and support and the relationship we built over the years with the city. and i've endured three school board elections. i've worked with 11 different board members over my years. i've been part of a team that's hired three superintendents. i've approved two inter interim superintendents. we've renewed the children's fund that pours millions of dollars into our district for our children, and we've raised millions more dollars through philanthropic and foundations, and we've looked at that as investments for our children and people have stepped up in ways that i've never seen before. and i want to just thank the staff, who worked tirelessly for our 58,000 children and our 4,500 teachers and the many, many folks that you represent when you come to us to update us and to be sure that what

charter law and the board of education ties the hands of local school boards it does not allow us to address the concerns that we heard from the malcolm x parents tonight. we are so strictly limited in how we can conduct the prop 39 process to offer safes to charter schools. there is no way to engage communities around that. and what results is that communities who are already feeling somewhat abandoned by us , suddenly find themselves having to share their space with another school with all the difficulties that that entails. that is just one example of how frustrating this situation is for a local school board member. i read recently that california is the second-largest charter authorizer after l.a. and this is the same start -- state of california that says that they celebrate local control and created the local control funding formula and the local control and accountability plan. it is just talking out of both sides of their mouth as far as i'm concerned. i am just tired of it. we need to do something to fix state laws on this issue and we shall level the playing field. this re

going to the boards in parallel. we would like to get the road open to the public as soon as possible, so that's why we are asking for that delegation of, that limited delegation of authority to continue formalizing the form of purchase and sale agreement and the easement agreement. >> thank you very much. colleagues, i don't have any other questions. do you? no, ok, public comment. please -- any member of the public that would like to comment on this item, please come up. seeing none, public comment is closed, thank you. all right. motion to approve with positive recommendation, send as a committee, and take that without objection. thank you. item 7. >> clerk: resolution retroactively approving emergency contract for general airport security services between covenant aviation security and the city 1.7 million from april 9, 2018, through october 8, 2018. >> kathy wideman, an item, resolution to approve an emergency contract for security staffing with covenant aviation after a previous contractor failed to provide suf

for boarding.d that gleaming green tick. passengers that check in online can't use it. travellers without be passports need not apply. and if you checkin passports need not apply. and if you check in at the airport using any other means than your passport you will still need to show your papers toa human will still need to show your papers to a human at the gate as normal before you can board. so, what does the us department of homeland security think about this. it increases our processing speed and the accuracy of our inspections, but the accuracy of our inspections, but the real value is that it allows our officers to focus on the enforcement mission. it allows them to focus on talking to people and enforcing cbp's laws and regulations. system also provides a digital record of exit checks, but of course passengers are more biometric to the data —— biometric data to the government in return for speedy boarding. but is using just your face secure enough? it has passed our security checks so far. a

most boards are well functioning.rds enriching management or themselves are by and large gone or diminished significantly. activist investing has been helpful in this regard there's still an element of boards not acting quickly to protect the reputation and make tough decisions. cbs is a perfect example why would that board not have said les, take it at face value there were accusations in this article, because you're telling us that's not the case, we are going to go ahead, have you step down while we pursue an investigation because we think that's the right thing to do in the name of the governance with the benefit of hindsight, looks like it would be the right decision i suspect because the board wasn't contemplating a fourth responsibility, how do you protect the reputation for the long term. >> jon fortt in the case you got a powerful ceo, maybe a founder ceo who's personality is all tied up with a brand, how do board members navigate that. i imagine some situations it may come down to i may have to leave the boa

in two thousand and one of these are board members that know media these are also board members thatinclude william cohen former secretary of defense a former dean of the harvard law school and we've got big names on this board in the new board members whether or not they'll be willing to entertain these mergers i think it's a wait and see time finally before we go margot you've helped us out on others the other mergers we've talked about in the media space would this be one of the. deal . would that be one that would raise and i trust issues or not i don't know that it would raise antitrust issues viacom right now is operating i believe as the ninth largest media company c.b.s. certainly has big holdings in television and they both have properties in film so whether or not it reaches the level of some of disney twenty twenty century fox i don't think so but you know anytime you have you have one of the big submerging with one of the bigger i think that it's going to fail it's going to face some d.o.j. scrutiny we're going professorial i could never get the professorial lecture to wh

foonly i want to -- finally i want to speak to the relationship between the sfmta board and board of supervisors. as supervisors, you understand transportation in the context of broader issues, such as education, employment and housing. i feel that information exchange between the board of supervisors and the sfmta board is not only appropriate but necessary for a city that has a dynamic as complex as san francisco. should i be fortunate enough to receive your support, i would make it a priority to meet regularly with your offices, hear your concerns and ensure that a dialogue exists. i want to close by thanking each of you for your attention and commitment to excellent transportation in san francisco. i look forward to answering any questions you may have. thank you. >> supervisor safai: i think we're going to go straight to public comment on this. i'll save my comments. i just want to see how many people are here to comment. ok. please proceed. >> good morning. my name is brian, i am the executive director of the bicycle coalition. on behalf of 10,000 members, i voice strong suppor

meeting with the board members, that's what i was used to when i was a board member. a superintendant that communicated with the board, talked to the board, gave us weekly reports. not not communitying. communication is really important. the final thing i would say, it is a reality, board members live in the community. they know where the bones are buried. they know the political constructs, oftentimes. so you have to use your board to help you navigate that. and sometimes use the board to help you get out of trouble you might have gotten yourself into because some elected official calls with you something crazy. the political dynamic is really important. >> thank you. >> great. >> alton, you have been there, you have done this. right? when you think about the job of the superintendant, someone earlier today said something about a north star. what you think about a north star to guide superintendents to differentiate between always competing priorities of being an administrator, taking care of the buildings, the buses, the books, and those kinds of thing. and the job

i think this board, in my experience, and i can say that having served on a number of different boards. , will grapple the costa hawkins no longer exists. with them i nisha of the policy that is before us that supervisor kim -- with them i nisha -- us to new construction, there should be a rolling effective date. i actually went to the san francisco chronicle with a professor who was extolling the virtues of getting rid of costa hawkins that shared the policy point of view with supervisor kim. but we will grapple with that when the voters repeal costa hawkins and passed proposition ten. we show during the inclusionary housing debates that we can find that sweet spot and i think we can do that here at the san francisco board of supervisors. did someone just go out that window? is that what i just saw? deputy? >> wind. [please stand by] >> supervisor fewer: and we need police officers and firefighters, and we need superintendents of schools. and the reason i mention that is because our old past superintendent renting a single-family home for $4,000 a month, in one month, his rent was rai

the supervisory board's main job is to monitor what's going on but also to advise the executive board. the. most important characteristic you need is curiosity going to be curious to be able to ask important questions about what the executive board is doing and what decisions it's making. as a supervisory board member she has to be discreet as she's dealing with confidential matters. when she first started she visited freenet various company locations and spoke to employees today she is checking over documents and balance sheets if she overlooks anything she can be held liable for it a supervisory board member of freenet earns an average seventy thousand euros a year if i am very proud of myself. i'm not doing this to boost my status or because i like having a fancy title. but i want to be a role model for young women to show that you don't have to be fifty and we're a business and to work in a top position. because it's. she's not permitted to say what ideas she's put forward or what objections she has raised since being on freenet supervisory board. but she's happy to speak about ho

embarkation where passengers board vessels. alcatraz has, we have had an embarkation site for the alcatraz island since 1972 at the board of san francisco. it is an incredibly popular place to go for visitors to the city. it's a wonderful national park, and we have worked very closely with our partners to develop an agreement that really is going to improve the visitor experience on the embarkation site, provide more retail, interpretation, get us a lot of investment into our pier, and the concessioner and the retail operator. this agreement is going to transform this embarkation site. i am here today not only with my team, rebecca and jay, but also with our partners, laura from the national park service, greg moore from the park's conservancy, and i see mark buell is here and sonny from supervisor peskin's office has been helping a great deal as well. we also have provided to you letters of support from the inland boats union, pier 39, blue and gold, spur, sf travel and all the partners that share an interest here en the alcat

i used to be on the board of the inner sunset parks board association. i think we need to have people with deep roots here. my first teaching job was at l lawton, and i also think understanding how government works is important. i'm running a grassroots campaign. i am an outsider. i don't work in city hall, but i do have experience in politics. i do have experience in representing district four in city hall, so i think there is a level of which that my biography, my backgrounds, my hopes for my family's future, and my skill set and recess may are enough to make me a supervisor if i'm lucky enough to get elected. >> thank you. mr. murphy? >> yeah. my experience is typical of someone who's invested in ecology. it's a seventh generation vision. right now, our city is being sold out to the highest bidder. land use economics is the biggest crisis we face. this is where i surf. this is where i run. this is where my son and i play basketball. i envision a place where he could return, to this neighborhood. i love it here. this is the dream that i've had, and i'v

system across the board. the key thing for us with what the actions require -- and ed used the term systemic. that's it for us. we don't want to have fits and starts in performance or another hiccup as we had over the last couple of months in terms of managing the system. the way to do that is to best align the support systems that are needed, whether it be in the hiring side, materials management side. we have v.m.i. actions that have been very important in improving maintenance. with that, it's a quick snapshot of some of the things that we're in the process of doing. it's a realistic set of actions. it's built off of improving and focusing on the fundamentals. there's not a lot of silver bullets in there. there are things that we continue to build on with your health and support. with that, it's a quick overview of the items on the list. near term means 90 days. and so we'll continue to focus on that. >> we'll continue to provide you updates as we make progress or have challenges. we've heard you. we heard
