as for a century city, this is a strong doctrine. we should not be referring people to immigration because of an arrest. an arrest is by far not under any circumstances a conviction and even in cases of conviction i'm proud to say that i support supervisor campos's very well crafted compromise to allow immigration referrals once a conviction is in place foot even in such situations, and phil wants to live fully what is the underlying reason that we are referring people. seems that this questions come up under the heading of the police commission because in looking at records, i don't believe there has been many referrals by the san francisco police department. in fact, the department that would have the most active is an ability to make such referrals would be the sheriff's department who is charged with the document in, processing, and fingerprinting of individuals actually arrested, which, by the way, has no civilian oversight. i'm strongly in favor of century cities and i applied supervisor campos for his very strong and well craf

it was promoted by manhattan and 21st century city which you were kind enough to assert that you read at one point in and time. it's been great to kind of watch the stories of cities over the last 20 years. we began -- i began as mayor of indianapolis with an expolice sate manhattan agenda, literally right. cities instead of being centers of pathology could be great places that celebrated the diversity and assets. this was a period of time as you remember where several of us coming into the early 90s took the large cities, not as large as this one, a series of problems and apply conservative principals to produce the results. to some extent we did that. one the things i noticed about rick and his book, particularly dear to my heart. cities are diverse places. if you can apply conservative principals, you can create opportunity forest all of your communities, all of your neighborhoods. and it's creation of opportunity in a seamless city that's particularly important. the other thing that i saw in rick's book that i thought was fascinating and i wish it was more well recognized across t

but we also have to realize we live in are 21-century city. we're a phone callal point around the world and i urge you to provide opportunities for disadvantaged young people, who are in one of the most expensive cities in the world and take on that responsibility to provide services and support services that provide for them. if you -- thank you for your time. president chiu: next speaker. >> thank you, board. my name is alexander cotton. i present the league of young voters, also known as the league of pissed off voters. i'm here so that the league can lend our voice to advocates at booker t. and other youth advocates throughout the city to support the project in its 5-unit form. 5,700 youth in san francisco are at ric -- risk of homelessness every year. these are folks who are leaving the public education system or cycling out of the foster care system. i wanted to set their struggle tonight into the larger context of the state, california, the state in which public education is under attack and cuts are threatening to eviscerate certain ser

city. philadelphia, throughout the 19th century, was the major industrial city of the united states. all of these industries used water from this system. and it served as a prototype for many american cities, including pittsburgh and new york. man: new york city went to philadelphia and said, "you know, we're thinking of developing a hudson river water supply -- what do you suggest we do?" and they said, "we've had "a lot of problems on the schuylkill. "don't go to the hudson river. go to the upland and work by gravity." and that's what new york city did. they first went to the hudson highlands, but 150 years later, it went to the delaware highlands. and really diverted the water that normally went to philadelphia to new york city. i don't think they anticipated that. narrator: the majority of new york city's drinking water comes from watersheds in upstate new york. a watershed is the area of land where water from rain or snow melt drains downhill into a body of water. mountains act as a funnel to feed rivers and lakes. and in this case, reservoirs. in the new york city system, water
