the second category, 33% of the violations were in that category followed by american disability act category. 8% were not categoric and than 6% were in staff and that has to do with treating clients with dignity and respect and the overall safety of the clients. because i am covering two quarters, i thought it would be important to present a comparison between the complaints and then for the rest of the presentation focus on the most current quarterly report because as you can see here on the chart, the percentage of complaints is very similar with facility and access being 37 and 35 respectively. the staff, 33%. that just gives a good idea of what categories the complaints are falling into and that has been consistent for the past two quarters. the standard care complaints by category, now this again for the most recent quarter. there was 58 separate complaints. standard one, treating clients with dignity and respect, standard to, a safe environment. stand at 31, completing all required training. these complaints included allegations of staff being disrespectful to clients by speak

. >> it may be instead of the category being so broad, there are going to be those property owners who are not incentivized to do the upgrades or corrections because they will never sell their buildings. whether through deferred maintenance they would rather continue with a blind eye and deaf ears at the expense of the tenants. maybe there is an interdepartmental communications by which -- if those public housing or other locations are incentivized or triggered -- >> there is probably a way we could add a step to the code enforcement process so that we would be able to go in, perform the work, be reimbursed on a different method rather than waiting for the sale. we could do it on a different basis and i can explore that with the city attorney and other jurisdictions to see how they can handle it. >> i agree with that. they could never sell a property and basically we are looking at the collection to never ever take place. >> can i ask the city attorney unquestioned? is it possible for the department to collect the rent for a month to pay for that? >> i think the director outlined the d

. >> the next one is on the category of storage of files and such. i know that when i go home and i have the content of just this past six months of reports, it accumulates. i can well imagine what it does for the city. do we have a central storage system and is there some digitizing of all of that material? >> we have a project in their to digitize the majority, to start digitizing our documents. in terms of prior to doing that, over the last several years, we keep certain documents in the house and we put a lot into storage in terms of the paper. then we pull those back in one or two days if we need to. that is the old way of doing things. we had an rflp out for an electronic data management system all along with an electronic plan review system. it was not successful. we plan to put that out again and we digitized our scan -- scanned all of the plans. we have another large project where we would go back, i cannot remember what year we started digitizing, but there is a long time, back to the 1900's, where we have all of these microphones and micro

is there some category where that training is extended? >> not that i know of. i don't know if they have been involved with any of the training in other departments, but in our department, the people in the field have to be certified to inspect the buildings. we are limited to that, or they have to be volunteers in the building or working with our staff. it is on a basis that the field people i will be deputizing to go into the field in the event of an emergency will have to be certified by the state. >> it does this tie in or is it -- >> it will be for some of the large buildings that do have engineers. they have been certified to inspect their own buildings and they have a certificate that allows their engineers to inspect the building and reports to the condition of the building. we are trying to do that with the city buildings and there's a contract out right now to get some contractors in to do that. if they have engineers that could survey the buildings themselves, that would save dbi from doing that themselves. >> do you assess a fee if the engineers go i

state by state and in those categories. >> joe? >> the most important step of rebuilding the enthusiasm is getting a republican candidate. as soon as they have someone to fire at, they can build up the base. but like youth, the beggest problem is whether they're going to be enthusiastic enough to go back and vote at the same historic level that they did last time. >> let's get kelly on that. it seems like i'm getting a lot -- i get put on one of these lists. i don't know how i get on. it's like a personal e-mail from somebody in chicago, from one of the guys -- >> dear chris -- >> some dowry. i don't know who it's from. social media, is that a part of it, technology of going out and constantly cheering people up? >> they've been expert at that. the hardest part of the magic what was 2008 for young people, can't put that in the bottle. t-shirts they wore back then faded. hard to get them as excited. doesn't mean they won't be supportive of the president but in the numbers joe talked about. >> the turnout -- >> gloria, come election

. >> i would like to ask if whether the category here, the difference by the public on the violation and this not only is a health safety issue but also on the light category because it seems to run a parallel course that's violations that require capitalization of costs. at a certain point, if there is negligence by the public, the proper agencies goes and then makes the correction. it goes into this whole category of the tax lien and judgment lien and it would be great if you can or the director can may be at the next meeting make some categories of what are possibilities of where code and a or a legislation or policy adjustments can be made necessary to correct this. we seem to be continuing to do the same thing over and over again and we're not getting any results. given we are at a point of this negative direction, i would like to neutralize it is not get into a category that would move both the department and incentivize property owners, especially those who are not going to look toward selling their property but in the long term can say keep doing the improvements. i'm not goi

the category here is that they have a boy served the city and have more importantly always put their good work through the efforts of the department, and for that, we will always be thankful. also, i would like to commend the staff. dan lowry, chief building inspector. steve penelli, the chief plumbing inspector. rosemary, a housing inspector. john, and the acting senior building inspector. they have provided a whole range of categories of performance ranging from addressing nov's and inspections. when i look at the numbers, it is really commendable. again, thank them for their continued service, and good job and good work. also, i would also like to say the effort of the commission would be to also maintain and keep moving forward with the balance of the year, strong support for not only staff, but for the categories of how the department will continue to perform and take on the challenges of reduced staff, but at the same time, probably the ingrowing load of good work that is coming into the city. all of that, i hope, will provide an uptick to not only the growing economy in san fr

it would remove video store as a used category. we just see this as a dying retail use, and there is no reason to lump it out from other retail uses. at one point, there was a concern about that, so they tried to control it. it would also maintain existing controls for each neighborhood commercial district. so here is a graphic that illustrates our methodology. we take the uses that currently do not allow on-site alcohol consumption. we put them under the restaurant limited control. the definitions, one in article 7 and won an article 8, would be grouped into one, in article 7. finally, for those other three, they would be considered restaurants. this just so out -- shows the tuckahoe consumption issue. -- alcohol consumption issue. the existing controls were developed in 1987 and were to address concerns over restaurants displacing neighborhoods serving retail uses and proliferation of chain of fast-food restaurants. since that time, several things have changed, including for miller retell clothes and section 312 neighborhood noti

that is a catch-all category. it includes other retail services, financial services, and more. it is already in the law. there's nothing to change other than implementing the law as it was intended. i also wanted to mention, you had other formula retail use is on the agenda today. petco and target. both of these are not listed separately under formula retail. this is barred, eating, drinking, a liquor store. it is not any one of these. yeah, the planning department chooses which ones they want to see before conditional use. it does not seem right. thank you very much. >> good afternoon. my name is doug, born and raised in san francisco. i am in architecture. i want to speak about this issue of whether banks should be considered formula retailer not. i would like to continue the discussion and consideration of why banks were not considered in the past. i believe there is a strong functional issue why banks should be considered separately from restaurants and stores. that consideration is that if i need in the street and want to go to a restaurant, i can buy something from a form

you put them in the category of the supportive spouses or would you put them in the second category of more of the presidential partner in response to their husbands? i would say think about this as a semi final point. that is that i think laura bush had to be the on hillary. hillary in the minds of the american people seem to go too far on health care initiative. people began to say, wait a minute. she is not elected, not accountable. if we don't like what she's doing we have no way of reaching her. remember, hillary dialed back in knots and became more of the traditional first lady by being in favor of women's issues like charles advocacy. so i think that suited her personality and also suited the times in terms of what we wanted from the first lady. i think michele obama had only been there two years and still feeling here wait. right now acting more the traditional first lady, a traditional policy in terms of

as of now it only aplays to two categories. one, terrorism, and two, controlled substance terrificers. so to expand that category is a real alienation, and i do intend the play on words. and then the very real threat of the foreclosure of appeal. what i mean when i say that, right now, especially in the ninth circuit, we have a favorable circuit court of appeals. and what congress has chosen to do in 2007 and 2008 is propose a structure by which the ninth would be split into the ninth and a new circuit court of appeals. >> i have to ask you to finish. thank you. you can finish your statement if you can and then your time is up. >> very good. the last issue you may wish to consider is appeals would otherwise be considered under another proposal, all to go to the d.c. circuit court of appeals, which has no specialization in immigration. thank you for your time. >> thank you for your comments. next speaker, please? >> geeping, commissioners. my name is bar tholmue murphy. i am the chairman for the year national immigration reform.

this year the awards are being presented in three categories.iduals, awards for emerging leadership and lifetime achievement. and for organizations, we have the community impact award. more than 30 nominations were received in the top finalists in each category were submitted to a panel of three distinguished judges to make the final selection. now, the three judges are dafney quack, chair of the president's advisory commission on pacific americans and pacific islanders and those with disabilities of california, the president and c.e.o. of yanza media group and commissioner, natasha cowersaw, california commission on asian and pacific islander american affairs, and law partner with the law offices of g.c.r. l.l.p. unfortunately, all three judges were not able to join us tonight to present the awards. but we have three very capable individuals who are proud to make the presentations on their behalf. and now for the presentation of the emerging leadership award, please join me in welcoming supervisor eric marr. [applause] >> thank you. i'm actuall

and if they are moving into another category. i would like to support the least restrictive option. i do not think they should have to go through a conditional use. it is a form of grandfathering. the change of talk a great -- if it is not serving alcohol, it stays a restaurant, so there is no cu. we do have a number of self- service cafes that also have beer you can take to your table. we also have little bellies were you can buy a beer and sit down -- we also have little bistros where you can buy a beer and sit down. i do not want these little businesses to endure any cost because of the change in their definition. i do not think they should need a cu to move in their categories. >> i do not think anyone would have to go to the process. everyone is grandfathered in. if you are categorized currently as a small self-service restaurant, you would not just become a restaurant. -- now just become a restaurant. this is only for new ones. commissioner clyde: so it is by right without alcohol, and with alcohol, subject to the neighborh

half of these denials were in the highest criminal history category. justices were careful. the recidivism rate demonstrates that the rights of prisons -- prisoners released early were lower than those released under their additional sentence. of course, while any recidivism is unacceptable, the risk is mitigated because judges have the right to reject any prisoners who posed too high a public safety risk. for example, those prisoners who had disciplinary problems in prison. the commission does recognize the need for fidelity and certainty in punishment. we know that retroactivity should be rare. we heard concerns from the united states attorney's offices. we are from some senators and congressmen about the resources needed to implement retroactivity. we appreciate and acknowledged those concerns raised about the use of resources, particularly in this top economy. however, the commission heard testimony that retroactive application of the 2007 amendment, which involve a much larger pool of eligible offenders, did not overly burden or taxed the criminal justice resources. i w

committee, we focus on these 10 categories. which include prevention precaution training, hand washing, and communicable disease prevention, proper food handling, emergency procedures, including but not limited to c.p.r., intervention and harm reduction training, interaction with clients who suffer from mental illness, requirements under the a.d.a., the shelter training manual and culture community. and those are the areas that we focus on. >> so currently the department of -- currently the department of public health will deal with the shelter programs developing training modules that focus on the fire trainings and we're working with half to identify and to make it helpful for shelters to access the information and to utilize the trainings. we're also advocating for funding to meet the training requirements within the standard of care within 2011 and 2012 fiscal budget including maintaining funding for nutritionist, material cost and the trainer. and the standard of care were never a fully funded mandate and to trainers do st

and certainly regards to the independent arts category, it is off the grid and we have challenges and fire marshal occupancy ratings is out of reach in regards to those thick and i am not sure how to approach resolutions on those fronts. if this was allowed in the western selma area, it would last until the western plan is approved and then it would be negated based on the mixed use category being ruled out. and because i think what is now basically the s.l.r. is that it would be allowed in and the event would not be in that final form. i am hoping there is opportunities to change this. certainly a lot of events and working on an accessory use classification similar to this but say, for example, does allow d.h.a.'s to be aware of the modern times that d.j.'s are not just about rave culture or large parties and there are many restaurants that we are trying to bring into compliance that have a d.j. providing music for a restaurant that is the more sound controllable than live bands. i am hoping there might be some further exploration of how that particular classification of entertainmen

this is in the safety category. that category is doing ok. in part, there are not a lot of discretionary fund sources for pedestrian safety. that is why we are lobbying at the mtc for more funds to be available for pedestrian safety projects. the last two, and the curb ramp project, designed is pay for by state transit development article 3 funds at the department of public works. lastly, the 24 mission board project, overall, the leveraging is matching bart funds and regional transportation standards for livable communities. in addition to recommending the funds shown, we are recommending a commitment to allocate next fiscal year funds for bicycle safety glasses and bike to work day. that is simply because in the five-year partition process, they want to shift to three contracts a year because of efficiency reasons. commissioner campos: thank you. commissioner wiener? >> when this came up before -- commissioner wiener: when this came up before, i requested a breakdown by supervisors will dictate -- supervisor district. it looked like there w

technology advancing on this category. >> is their public comment on the director's report? any public comment? item number seven, commissioners questions and matters, agrees to staff. commissioners may make inquiries to staff regarding various documents, practices and procedures which are of interest to the commission. >> i believe it would be good to get an update from our departing deputy director. there has been support and interest in moving for some of our mandatory program discussions. it would be good to bring the men and had them update us on that. >> thank you. commissioners? >> with regard to an article i recently read on violations within the housing authority and the housing stock itself, we have significant issues that continue to not be responded to by those that are responsible for correcting this. do we execute nov's to those properties or follow-up in responses by those respective -- >> can i add to that? also an agenda item to talk about the state of the mou we have a housing authority and what our policies are. >> is more at the next meeting. >> we can ha

but the category will remain.t like who is the leader in -- >> until a new category emerges. >> yes. >> and they may be the leads e f that. >> exactly. so the prediction is i can't tell you facebook will, but i know the cat better will continue to grow exponentially. who was the leader in search in the year 1999? yahoo!. but someone else came along. >> but search still exists. >> and growing. google is the current leader. are they guaranteed to be the leader? no, that's a soft trend. for example, social search, does that have a future? the minute you hear it, you're going to say yes. you're right. >> so what do -- this seems obvious when you say it. why do companies not do that? >> you got to -- >> people are getting older, it seems obvious, let's get a fleet of cars and offer wllimousine-le service. >> web one was finding things. search. web two was social media. and it's about content sharing. what's web three with certainty? threats's give you a prediction with certainty. it's the 3d immersed experience. in oth

there are two categories of homelessness. this is on the end of been able to afford to live in san francisco. that live paycheck to paycheck. when they do not get that next paycheck, they could be homeless the next week on that level, we need to continue to support economic development, support job creation, small businesses, the act would create 60% to 70% of the jobs in san francisco. we need to push legislation white -- like local hire, which is supervisor avalos's legislation. we demand that companies hire folks from our city. that is one end. we have to do what we can use to subsidize other essential services, whether it is transportation or public health, so people can afford to live in the city. then you have another category of homelessness, which is chronic homelessness. it is not just living paycheck to paycheck, but other issues like mental health or drug addiction. that is a much harder population to address. i think -- the district that i represent as many of the community organizations. it continues to be a pres

the career category covers fiscal year 2010, 2010. this is one-third of the funds that you today get to choose which projects you would like to go to. the only eligible sponsor for this category is the mta. there is a list of six projects they are proposing to reprogram these funds to. two of these projects this board already approved last month. there with a 15 mile per hour zones near schools that were identified as high priority by the mta the number of people on this committee. and also a pedestrian project. this is already suffered delays. really today's action is adding the remaining core projects. which is 19 ave. accessible to pedestrian signals coming countdown signals, and sonic avenue upgrade. i will discuss briefly the mta staff here. attachment two shows the proposed amended 5y pp. and men and three shows how each of the scores. -- amendment 3 shows how each of these scores. if you approve the amendment this month, during the course of this fiscal year, mta expects to come back for allocation request for each of these pro
