at&t facility cabinets are still cabinets 59 inches wide, 48 inches wide and 26 inches deep. they house telecommunications equipment that allow us to provide communication services to speed telecommunication services. so the purpose of the program: the department has expressed concern that the installation of the surface mounted facilities whether at&t or any time will impede travel on public streets and inconvenience property owners and create blight right-of-way by the public. so in order to answer to these concerns that dpw had in august of 2005. dpw ordered 5 and 6 was implemented. this order which is titled regulation for issuing excavation permits in the public right-of-way is the purpose of the order to minimize the impact the placement of any sfm facility will have impact on the public right-of-way. this establishes rules and regulations anden insures permits affected will be heard before dpw issues any permit. a few things the applicant is required to provide is provide technical report, providing graffiti reports and each facility must display contact information of

>> all these cabinets are at&t cabinets. >> do they usually put ballards around them? >> the new ones. another consistent concern is trash and blight. we are not sure why people tend to place their trash on cabinets but that's a real persistent issue. finally it looks well but i think there has been a lot of concern about the at&t technicians for thing forgetting to clean up after themselves. it's already difficult to property owners to see the technicians leave. >> what is that? >> that is just wiring left behind. finally in summation, at&t would like to place a total of 126. i think that has gone down to locations and combining boxers. we approved 185 sites to install and only disapproved 9. there is also 180 in construction and again, i mentioned to you that we received over 2,000 protest in 2013 alone. finally the last page is where at&t has an approved permit at this point. it's around 180 plus. i'm here to answer any other questions you might have. supervisor scott weiner: in terms of the -- supervisor cohen do you have a question? okay. in terms of the hearing p

the city has been unwilling to allow us to place any cabinet on their property too. oftentimes the community will offer school property, mta property and we have either not gotten a response back when we have acquired -- inquired or flat out denied. if the city can help us work with a solution that can be helpful. i noticed something in san francisco beautiful is brought up. there have been issues of bilingual notices and verbiage in those chinese and spanish on notices that dpw has pushed back and said if we push that on there we have to address those foreign speakers to at&t and we find something wrong if you want to make a complaint with the company you can go e to dpw and if you are a non-english speaker you can go to file that complaint and there is something unfair if not unconstitutional as far as due process goes. we are fully supporting putting bilingual notices and other languages but the city is required to determine the process on the timeliness of the complaint and that shouldn't be something that at&t gets to determine because you are not an english spe

rather than putting two cabinets we can combine the geography into one cabinet reducing the number of over all cabinets we are going to need in san francisco to complete this project. of the 363 permits 181 sites have completed the process and they have been secured. 133 were processed and placed and the remaining 45 are in construction or will be starting construction very soon. the remaining 180 of those are in the permitting process from the initial submissions or hearing or what not. brought up earlier in the franchise fee in july of 2011 at&t has paid a half million dollars. the gross receipts go to the sf again fund and in addition to the 5 percent go to support sfgtv and the public access channels here in the city and they combine to almost a half million dollars. and that mentioned also what was mentioned earlier on the permitting fees on top of that and while our set fees we also pay for cost so oftentimes our permit cost are anywhere from $2-5,000 in permit fees we pay to the city in addition to the blanket fees above the cost that we have to reimburse the city for those cos

i think it is good that former cabinet ministers write. most of them do not write well. >> and most of them do not write against a sitting president that is still there commanding troops in the field. don't you think he should wait until the president he was serving is done with his term of office? you're not shocked by this at all? this is outrageous. >> the book will stand or fall on its own. if he is selling the truth let the truth win out. i don't think the president of the united states should be scared of the truth. if it is not truthful then we will have vivid discussion of where mr. gates got things wrong. i remember when he published his first memoir it wasn't a great read but a good read. it had a lot of details and took on the agency and took on the clandestine agency. i had many disagreements with mr. gates. >> a point of view about what is coming out so far? >> i haven't seen anything in the "washington post" piece you would consider surprising. >> i think he thought both wars were bad. i think he was pretty intent on getting

i apologize, the president making comments at a cabinet meeting.a listen. >> official cabinet meeting of the year, and i want to wish everybody a wonderful new year. we've got a lot to do in 2014. as i've said before, this is going to be a year of action. we've seen the economy improve. we want to maximize the pace of our recovery, but most importantly, we want to make sure that every american is able to benefit from that recovery, that we're not leaving everybody behind, and everybody is getting a fair shot. i was very pleased to see the house and the senate agree to a budget and to put forward a bill that will fund our government, as well as allow us to take some important steps to provide the services and the help that americans need and the american families need in order to get ahead in this economy, and so i would urge that congress pass that funding measure as quickly as possible so that all these agencies have certainty around their budgets. and congress is going to have some additional work over the course of the next several weeks, specif

it involves the cabinet, resident, senior white house team. it involves a whole team to figure out what the actual agenda will be and what should focus in the speech. the state of the union is one of the most challenging in part because it will cover such right issues. it is not just a means of determining how you will convey the policy of this white house. it is a way for the white house to terminate what policies will be. the process of marrying -- to determine what policies there will be. the process of narrowing it down. these debates that need to be -- part of what makes the state of the union address a challenge for the speechwriter is it ends up being a conversation in two directions. the policies themselves will determine the speech, but in many ways, it we need to focus the speech. it will help determine the focus of the administration will take in and help clarify those conversations. >> having worked on previous state of the union speeches, when the work is done, the president delivers his remarks. where will you be? >> i'm not sure

i'm strongly opposed to the installation of cabinets which is right outside of my house. we talked about blight and graffiti. what we have not addressed yet is the fact that they can potentially cause negative health impact due to the radiation that these cabinets submit. as we know all electronics emit some kind of radiation. i have not seen any studies or test that they have conducted that shows they are safe. what i would like to see from at&t is test, studies so they can educate the public on whether or not these cabinets are safe to be installed in these public areas. thank you very much. >> good afternoon supervisors. my name is paul wells. i'm from district 10 and a resident of portrero hill. one thung -- thing i do remember is that at&t had the cable. it was their decision to sell it off to probably a good profit. i know my rates went up. now at this point they are coming back and managed to get a 6-5 vote in their favor with boxes all over the city. i think the demonstration has been made and by most people if not 90 percent of the people who have been speaking t

but there's one cabinet secretary who is not there, they always keep at least one member of the cabinet away. the secretary of energy in this particular case, he's there. so you see what's going on. we do think, jake, that the president will defend the affordable care act, obamacare as we see the first lady with some of her special guests who will be introduced in the course of this event. we saw kathleen sebelius, secretary of health. she was just inside as well. there she is right there. jake? >> that's right. you see the agriculture secretary tom vilsack, secretary of labor, secretary of health and human services kathleen sebelius. she's had a rough 2013 with the rollout of obamacare. there is the secretary of the department of education, r.e. duncan came with the president from chicago where he was in charge of chicago schools. jean spurling who will be leaving the white house soon, director of the economic council. shawn donovan, with housing and urban development. there's kathleen sebelius. >> during last year of the bush administration as you might remember, jake, kathleen sibeli

it is organized in my cabinet, the cabinet for health and family services.i want to mention this just a little bit. we find that this is -- has been part of what we call the secret sauce, i suppose. in my cabinet, you have the department for medicaid services. you have the department for community based services which has been doing all the eligibility for medicaid and also provides food stamps and the snap programs. snap benefits and child care, that sort of, those programs. also in our cabinet is the department for public health and department for behavioral health. our office of health policy. just to mention a few of the major departments. we think this is rather significant because it -- we haven't had many of the structural barriers you would think, well, everyone works for one big administration it shouldn't be a problem. but we all know that sometimes organizational structures do get in the way. they become barriers. also, because medicaid is in the cabinet, and they work so closely and did work so closely with the exchange, we also have a really exp
