the remaining changes. i also understand that our director of planning is here and can further elaborate on why he has concerns about the changes and exemption procedure. supervisor chiu: could i just ask for clarification? in the version of the legislation we have, what exactly would you be severing? supervisor alioto-pier: why don't i let miss daisy cover those? supervisor maxwell: ms. stacey, could you cover the splitting of the file and what we would consider today? - standing as it would cover the negative declaration today and the environmental impact report, but if you could go over that -- my understanding is it would cover the negative declaration today. >> my understanding is that the planning department has asked that all of section 31.08 b seven out of this ordinance. supervisor maxwell: for those who do not have that, what would that be, do you know? >> 31.8 deals with exemption determinations. in includes a number of provisions about exemptions, including new notice requirements, some referral

my understanding is what is before this commission -- the changes that were amended by the cac was changed to renumbering on page 3. the first statement that a adding a new address or change to an existing street #number -- that has been added on. also, in the second paragraph of the renumbering, the second line says -- or tenant. this added -- who may be affected of the changes have been notified. these are material changes from the previous version that was in front of the commission. >> do we have a process to deal with that, if somebody wants to change in address or needs a new address? do we have a department to deal with that? >> currently, the process has been in place. my understanding is that the additional items are just for clarification, to get the process more clear. this has been the upper function. >> i know that someone came in recently for an address change and nobody had any idea how to go about doing that. it ended up in the director's office. i have no idea where went from there. >> commissioner, we had one employee, a longtime employee, and she did all of the address c

do not change this, but to make changes that you proposed throughout the rest of the document. supervisor chiu: with regard to section 31.16, no changes there? revert back to the current draft? >> that is correct. supervisor chiu: that is actually two sections, not one, right? >> yes. supervisor chiu: i understand you are not taking it out, you are saying leaving 31.08 as it is, which means for purposes of today's discussion, we are moving those couple of pages that refer to section four and doing the same for section 10, taking section 10 out of this legislation? >> only the sections that have section e and the references in a and b. as i understand it, all those would be changed. would be only the references to existence. supervisor chiu: i'm sorry, i probably need you to walk me through that again. i think section e was what i meant last time, right? starting with page 18, section 10 referring to amendments of section 31.16, where would you be? >> the changes would be in section a where there is a reference in three and four two exemptions. since there is no corresponding la

in terms of how this is going to change, what will be guiding the change. on december 14, the board is going to take action on a new transportation -- to outline several different goals, and the objectives as well. and once this is approved we will have enough of a framework to be redesigning this and have something to share with the board and the community in january. the framework that would guide the development will have limited the strategic transportation, to support the choice in school assignments as a tactic for creating a learning environment. this is still a choice and the goal is to create a moratorium of learning. and more choice may be a possibility for all communities. we have to make certain that transportation is available. and these resources for muni or any other modes of transportation. we want to make certain that we are supporting the low income families and giving them voices to participate in these programs. and we also want to make certain that the english learner's have access -- access to the programs to serve the newcomers. we wi

should congress change the law. nonetheless i thought it critically important to energy gaining troops and families on this issue as ultimately it'll be they that determine whether or not such a transition is successful. i believe we had to learn the attitudes, obstacles and concerns that need to be addressed, a should be the law changed. we can do that only by reaching out and listening to men and women in uniform and changes. the work undertook this from masseur va answers by tens of thousands of troops and their spouses to meetings with small groups and individuals including hearing from those discharged under current law. mr. johnson and general ham will provide more detail on the surveys of troops and their families in summary a strong majority of those that answered the survey more than 2/3 do not object to gays and lesbians serving openly in uniform. the finding su ges for large segments repeal of don't ask, don't tell, disruptive in the short-term would not be the dramatic change many have feared and predict

published a report titled, changing climate, assessing the risk to california. the report looked at 3 scenarios for cutting the amounts of emission that we pump into the atmosphere and depending on whether and how much green house gas emissions can be brought under control, the report projects by the end of the century average temperatures in california will rise between 3 and 10 1/2 degrees centigrade. one of the most publicized impacts of global warming is a predicted increase in sea level. and here's a graph showing sea level rise in san francisco bay. now, i want to note one very important fact about this graph. it does not show predicted sea level rise. it shows how much the level of the bay has risen over the past century. since 1900, the bay waters have risen 7 inches. and we at bcdc have been monitoring this increase for decades and we have been especially concerned because ground elevation, particularly in the south bay, is sinking because of ground water extraction. so even if there's no sea level rise, we expect more flooding as the low-lying areas co

when we look at snow pact changes one of the questions was the different changes. what we typically do is say we expect at least a 25 percent reduction by 2050 some we expect a 50 point acre foot. we will lose 25 percent. some other projections have it losing 40 percent by 2050 which is not far away and there are projections worst than that. typically we have shown the nature of the reduced amount of run off that occurs as a result of run off. we're looking at this differently from a flood perspective, next slide. this may not be obvious but this is the peak day flows so it the highest you experience in the river system in this case the american river in a given year. here's when,folsome damage was built. these are the flows when they did not have the operations for flood management that's how you would study the reservoir. now look since it was built. six of the highe flows recorded have happened since the damage was built. has the corporation changed the criteria, no. we have been aware of this from some time. this is feather river and,orville, was constructed he

have word changes. i don't know if i should show them to you at another time. >> i think now would be a good time. >> how strongly do you feel about those? >> i thought i could just give you my red line. >> nonsubstantive changes. >> what do you want? really, it is small stuff. but since i read it and wrote it, i thought i would mention it. i'm happy not to give it to you, wls. >> why do i need to do it now? >> my understanding is this is the public acceptance now, so i don't think there can be amendments lather, even minor, or else we'll have to go through this again. >> forget it. no need. >> public commen on circumstances warranted on a practice already in place but this would clarify it in the rules, and then section 6-d-2 explains and clarifies the board's policy that these affiliated with a party should speak during that party's allotsment of time and not under "public comment. so that is it for section -- article 3. i don't know if there are any comments from commissioner fung, or others, that yo

it's clearly a change. i know all the messages today are apposing and i look at this sort of like mountain climbing as a former and pretend mountain climber, thankfully when you climb mountains the levels of steps are right when you begin and that's what we all get to deal with. i take t comfort from the writer that said we were not really lost, merely where we shouldn't have been without knowing exactly where that was. thank you. [applause] >> i'm not going to repeat it all. but you can't take the climate out of the climatologist eventhough this is a strategy session. let me - i think i missed part of the discussion in previous panel and i think, there was something that i frag mentally caught about water. i wanted to point out in california, the amount of water that's used in conveying and other forms of pump inging, imagining the water system is about 18 percent of the total electrical use in the state. so, the different - that means the different parts of the climate problem are connected. it's not just

so increases in temperature, no changes in precipitation or the way we get precipitations and no change in the precipitation. decreases in snow back of 50 percent and decrease to inflow and decreases in yield. that all assumes a static systems and our operators don't change dealing with flood pockets or rule curves so that's impact of operating the system like we have historically and that's impact on our system. the issue is from today on we can't operate the system the way we used to so we have to start changing and coming one new models on how to do it. >> this i have found this a phenomenal chart. if you start that upper left and go down line by line on this chart, it shows you the official demand forecast for the seattle city water supply system. we have never - at least to date - underforecasted the demand. we always over forecast. i think if you have not looked at your official forecast it gives you a reality historically and what the demands really look like. i think also, if you have not look and i'm assuming most have, this is what our water consumption looks like verses our p

i have embraced change vigorously, but change with the purpose. there is no purpose in changing this lease to the ortega family. thank you. >> next speaker, please? >> hello, everyone. i worked for the proposal at stow lake. iphone the cafe on eighth avenue -- i don't the cafe on eighth avenue from 1979. we were the first in the neighborhood to offer vegetarian meals with a focus on nutrition. regarding the preservation of the interior of the boat house, i thought the commission was set for preservation. instead it seems to be for transformation. regarding the annual. revenues offered by burress and myself, we're guaranteed $75,000 more than the ortega enterprises. that is to say or take that offers guarantees of $140,000, compared with two other $15,000 by burress and myself. therefore, greater annual revenues. -- compared with $215,000 by burress and myself. it would be more money for san francisco, the committee, and the city, rather than going to new mexico, home of the ortega enterprise. it therefore, it seems to me if we would have been chos

relevant page change for you today. additionally both planning staff and the supervisor's offices have met with the developers in the area. it was requested that the ordinance directly acknowledge the various planning processes in the area and clarify that in-kind improvements can be used to cover 100% of the required fee with commission approval. these requests represent nonexpansive amendments that the supervisor will introduce at committee. since you have already heard staff presentation for this case, i will be brief and focus on the nuances of this legislation. generallyly the intent of the proposed amendments is to be in line with the other programs and to have the supporting documentation. the fee amount and the area of subject of the fee does not change. on that note, the revised ordinance brings the policy movement on the part of the supervisor. a number of our concerns were corrected. it turned out that we were right, that it wasn't a wash. and changing from gross to occupiable made a big difference. we are ba

their they're changing their behavior all. choices you know but also i think that that trust is a factor as well so we put out all and puts out a report every year called the trust barometer and you know one of the sectors that's doing increasingly well and earning a lot of trust in the process is technology and the data supports that you know technology purchase are high especially with gen y. so you know we have to ask ourselves a lot you know is there a correlation there you know does does a does gen y. trust technology companies like google apple except for a specific reason and now they're rewarding them with their behavior as well. you know i think a lot of the points that are being made are really interesting i believe that there is even an appellate judge here real quick we're going to tell you we're going to do a short break we'll go back to you after the break after the break we'll continue our discussion on post consumers stay with. dr swan's policeman swan's ministers were just pretty good if you didn't find me if

we are proposing that most changes would occur in year two, which is 2012-2013, with incremental change happening in the first year. that is designed to maximize the lead time for families to have an understanding of what transportation services will be available. the graph showed earlier -- you can see we are anticipating a greater jump in the changes and services. i will just remind folks of the slide. it is like 11. -- is slide 11. the blue bar -- this is theoretical to illustrate. we are looking at phasing out some current routes, but also adding new routes to support the policy goals and objectives. we are imagining that the biggest change will begin to happen in your 2012-2013 -- the year 2012-2013. in terms of how families will find out about the changes, we are looking at capturing information about who is riding the bus. we will be able to send direct mail to families currently riding the bus. we will be able to have materials at each school site that will have more detail about the changes. through the school sites, we would have discussions with families. rather than doing wh

let me say we've not a climate change just like yours in our backyard. the time spent yesterday, at least for me, was very well spent and leads up to the business of today. yesterday we talked about the state of knowledge. some of it was wonderfully obvious. and water goes down hill and collection areas and some of it was breathtakingly vague trying make a billion dollar decision about something. we talked about simple solutions and bold actions and diverse drinking water systems in san diego and we heard about thinking about discipline, winning over regulators and economic development agencies and environmental groups as getting them to work with us. today, we have the opportunity to make it much more useful because it's amply, clear climate change is happen together all of us right now, as water system manager's and we can work together and act together, we can probably be more effective, more quickly. so that's what we're going to try to do today and here's how we're going to do it. we're going to use those five topics up on the screen to frame the si

and they are not small changes. virtually eliminating all the parking on site, making it cars stacking only, and coupled with the elimination of most of the car shares basis -- car share spaces, you will have problems with people parking on the street, double parking, may be blocking transit at the site. we would also like to have the opportunity to bring to the commission's attention how much this project has changed since you saw it last. as you may recall, the neighbors issue with this was the code exceptions that were provided to this particular developer, the gifts given to this particular developer, which have tremendous negative impact, and those are the rear yard modifications, and the projects that you all passed out of here was not legal, was not code compliance. you were told, "we modified this rear yard because it was a corner lot" and if you look back at all the applications you -- that were submitted to you, you were told corner lot. at 5:00 p.m., before this was heard, the board -- before the board of

with the greatest potential each before climate change is considered. we think that's really good news. so, how do you take advantage of the new sources? the next tool, i just finished my first strategy and this is integrated water management. we think the new tools conjunctive management, integrated water management is going to be particular important. by that, we mean cross agencies not just water utilities but looking at all the agencies locally. waist management agencies flood management and energy agencies. a full sweep across medium activities that are watershed based that address a full range of supply quality, waist water, et cetera. the advantage to this is first, potential multiple benefits. the example that we will include in our document the shed where integrated has shown remarkable potential to come up with really innovative tools that were almost unthought of a decade past. cost savings and can bring funding and partners to the table. we think it will be and important tool for maximizeg the new tools. if your a water agency trying to impr

since that change, it has been fairly successful. as far as holds, we have put together a team of three part- time personnel, one with expertise in evidence. they have been actively working and have gotten through many of the holds. there is one in the administrative component, two others going out and contacting the individuals as to what is secretary of the old. supervisor maxwell: are you talking about the last point of the evidence envelope, the $250,000? >> he mentioned a total amount of gold that had to be accounted for. there were a variety of factors that contributed to the gobi on the 18-month old period. we began to look at it at the 15-month mark. the problem is, you have transfers and somebody may think that the evidence is germane to their case. it is not just as simple as cutting it off. so we have to look at the criteria of making a hold last that long. there are best practices that we look at where we need the congruence of the office and justices. maybe it was serialized money, maybe it had bloodstains on it. sometim

due to climate change we have to anticipate. speaking on your comment about a template, the county council has asked us to develop an annual climate plan the first of which is news today and it maybe delayed by a week or two is what i've heard. what we've done, is put together an intraservice group to identify impact to all the different activities we engage in that range across planning, permitting, regulatory, as well as something like requiring access like purchasing hybrid buses and transportations systems. i think this is an annual report and we're going to be imposing performance measures on ourselves and reporting how much progress we're making, and it will, i think result in dialogue because we'll have to talk to state agencies on the issues chuck talked about, where we're not getting the support or freedom to do what we need to do, but it will also generate discussions in the county and staff that probably at this point, don't see what the impacts are of climate change. for the moment, this is going to go on indefinitel

and change of the way we do flood changing and maybe i'm miss reading the flood change task force but i would argue they ignore that and nothing they recommend took climate change into account. we no, fema, flood map's don't incorporate future risks and some say they don't adequately incorporate flood risks. the story we heard from david on often does but insurance companies are interested in this because they obviously have a financial stake in that and we may see some changes in insurance policies. after katrina, the new orleans levies were built to the exact same standards before. i didn't want to argue about the height but they certainly did not include climate change and one would argue they built them at an ineffective manner to begin with but they did not rebuild with climate change. brad said the colorado river and it's use of,hydrology, and it occurred to me, why are they not addressing climate change. why is the bureau not integrating it into the analysis of the system and i'll come back to an example of that in a moment. we have not yet done in california a systematic asses

wicker: the fact sheet mentions on more than one occasion that change is -- that changes adopted by the b.c.c. cannot affect substantive rights or obligations. it says under background, the new start treaty authorizes the parties to use the bilateral consultive commission, b.c.c., to reach agreement on changes in the protocol of the treaty, including its annexes, that do not affect substantive rights or obligations. further down, under authority of the b.c.c., the state department fact sheet says in addition to making technical changes to the protocol, including its annexes, that do not affect substantive rights or obligations, the b. b.c.c. may -- and then it lists six bullets. first, resolve questions relating to compliance with the obligations assumed by the parties. secondly, agree upon constitutional measures as -- substitutional measures as may be necessary to approve the necessity of the treaty. next, discuss features of the mills and their launchers, other than icbms and icbm launchers or slbms and slbm launchers, referred to in paragraph 3 of article 5 of the treaty that distin

that needs to change.y jacobson, i thought, said it very well. no labels is an attitude, not an ideology. that sums up why i am here. i thank you for the invitation. because we have some initial interest figures, someone needs to be tasked with keeping time. that responsibility also falls to me. the only label that fits our next speaker is a public servant -- dan glickman spent 18 years as a member of the united states house. he was also a secretary of agriculture under president clinton. secretary glickman. [applause] >> thank you, michael. thank you to nancy jacobsen and her team. thank you to david brooks for what could be the next preamble to america, which was just spectacular. he deserves a hand for that. [applause] briefly about myself, i was a democratic congressman from kansas. that is an oxymoron. kansas is the longest-running state that has not elected a democratic senator in the country and it is probably the most republicans did in the country. then i went on to the secretary of agriculture. a

the world has changed. and you know, if you really simplify the sales tax would be very different discussion we have as we're talking i'm not the taxes, but the collections and how you collect that. >> in most cases come most of the proposals i've seen set a limit on how the limits would have to collect taxes. >> guest: we will start up with the accent and it's if you go with the startup, the level is not as low as you think to try when you have new businesses coming into the marketplace. >> host: this is c-span's "the communicators" program. we are disgusting sales tax on internet sales. our guests are scott peterson of the streamlined sales tax association and jerry cerasale of the direct marketing association. grant gross of idg new service. they sent him a sunny bill. what was that about? >> guest: it's about a fulfillment center that has an affiliate of amazon and the state of texas. and generally is a physical presence test that has been created. you have an obligation to collect sales tax. we have sp

this isn't changing the constitution, right? it's a tool that has been used in the past that is okayed by vice presidents who preside over the senate from hubert humphrey to nixon. the idea is either through negotiations or motions to get some of these bills changed. >> it's a real pleasure to have you on the show. >> it's great to be on again. we're fixing our stadium so you can visit. >> it was very sad the way it deflated like that. >> i know. but it's getting fixed. i wrote a book on that stadium, rachel. >> did you? >> it was my senior essay in college. i haven't confessed it. you have a way of bringing things out of people. there you go. a little fact. >> can i extract an invitation to go with you through the metrodome when it's fixed? >> you can. but don't wear a pointy hat in the top row. >> and no darts. >>> still ahead, our government gridlock, it can be fixed on a single day in the first week of january. if it doesn't get fixed that day, it can't get fixed for another two years. nothing works like that with that speci

it has changed the world.s show has led a path that has changed the world. >> i wanted to say that a lot of that is because of mike, and i salute him for that. >> larry: and we'll be right back. major i events are going to take place across this country. it is called the march. >> that night it came to us thanks to you, let's have a march on washington because i have watched over the years, about 38 years in this town, people who marched on washington made an impression. switch to tempur-pedic. now it's your turn. call now for your free information kit including a tempur material sample, along with a dvd and catalog. traditional mattresses use metal springs that can cause pressure points causing you to toss and turn. only the tempur-pedic mattress automatically adjusts to your body while keeping your spine in perfect alignment. plus, because tempur-pedic doesn't transfer motion, you won't disturb your partner when you get out of bed or shift positions. best of all, tempur-pedic will let you sleep on one of the

supervisor maxwell: so are you going to change that? >> yes, we are open with the new system, that will be changed. supervisor chu: and that is currently on hold pending your ci 0's evaluation? >> correct. supervisor maxwell: the next one, should adopt a better segregation of duties. did you speak to that one? >> that is auditor speak for the same person should not be potentially doing conflicting jobs. as i said, authorization, record-keeping, custody, reporting a monetary evidence should be done by separate people and there should be job descriptions to show who should be doing what. supervisor maxwell: is that the standard in the field? >> yes, that can be considered an industry standard. some jobs are compatible, some are not, just like an accountant. in the financial world, you should not be writing checks, citing checks, keeping track of the bank register. they should be segregated. supervisor maxwell: and that is why? >> to minimize fraud. this is monetary evidence. >> in our department, how it works in the property controls offi

this is important information to know - but how vulnerable would be be if we had the flexibility to change the way we operate and that's a we question. and that races something more important than science and that's politics. next slide. what shouldn't be done? don't assume future climate will look like the past. actually i'll say it one more time on the conclusion. do not justify actions using climate change without the science to support them unless their justified for other reasons. i'm going to poke a bear here - a big bear - but he's not in the room so can't kick me out. the governor proposed two new surface reservoirs in california and the large part of the back up justification was issue of climate change and the terrible impact on storage. people are not doing to believe this, not opposed to new damages but i'm apposed to amdams. i think it's a great way to evaluate new,dams or possibilities for them in california it's not good enough reason to build them and that's an important distinction. ironically we're having this same debate in nuclear power. climate change is a great thing

effects of climate change. all water management decisions must take into account the implications of energy and greenhouse gas emissions of those decisions. some of the comments earlier about caps and credits. water agencies if they get credit for their greenhouse gas emissions, they will look for it. in san francisco if your water agency can find the reductions which admittedly will probably be through energy something and get credit for it or maybe, i don't know - even money somehow, that helps the process. existing water systems shall be tests underconditions of future climate changes. we had examples of this. test your systems under a different set of climate assumptions than the last one is water agencies shall partner with other agencies and authoritys to seek combined solutions. some times the best solutions are not purely water solutions but a combination of water and energy solutions or waist water and transportation solutions and so on and we heard about this. but it should be fundamental and this lea

that's not going to happen unless there is a major change of government. so we have an international community that has to remain united in support of the court and in support of the principal of justice that he can't travel and go places and he's boxed into a corner and has to wear the scarlet letter of the indictment where ever he goes and isolate him as much as possible and eventually the government doesn't last forever. we will see what happens. i know for the fact when charles taylor, the former president of liberia was indicted by a hybrid u.n. court at the time they stand sierra leone he laughed and two years later he was in the dock, and now today as we know because of ne and campbell he's been charged for crimes against humanity but laughed at the indictment because in the country he is untouchable. we will see. molosovich from the same thing. invited by the tribunal for yugoslavia. he scoffed, didn't laugh, little difference. within two years he was indicted in jail awaiting his trial. so we will see what happens. but the important thing for the

why the change?cting police says number one, the impound process was taking up a lot of his officers' time and they are already stretched thin. the other reason is in many cases impounding a car is not keeping unlicensed drivers off the roads because they can buy another car instead of getting it out of the lot and pay that hefty fine. i'm matt bigler live in san jose for cbs 5. >> thank you. >>> well, a drop in weekly jobless claims and pledge by some billionaires to give away most their wealth, two business stories making news this morning. let's go to jason brooks with kcbs and cbsmoneywatch.com for the latest. jason, good morning. >> reporter: good morning, sydnie and good morning robert. good news on the job front. first time unemployment claims fell by 17,000 to 421,000 last week a bigger drop than expected reversing an increase from last week and continues a two-month trend of falling claims. we saw the four-week average drop to 427,000-plus. that's the lowest that level has been in more than

so he's changed his strategy.t's not that i didn't do anything wrong, i wasn't personally corrupt so you still shouldn't issue this hard sanction on me. >> the congressional black caucus was upset, they thought it went too far. maxine waters is also facing ethics charges. how wary are they perceived that they're being extra tough on african-american lawmakers? >> that is a concern because we have these two african-american congress people who are both very high profile. nonetheless, there has been some concern, a greater concern, perhaps, that this democratic congress came in talking about a culture of corruption among republicans and weren't able to discipline their own. now with rangel sort of held out as an example, that he did something and he actually was the first member of congress to get censured since 1983, so it will be a little bit easier for them to make the claim that they police their own after these two cases. >> fascinating day. joe jan ohns and melanie sloan. >>> a killer facing the ultimate punis

just a major amount changes things. now, you have to be times the amount of density, three times the amount of residence or housing units. over the last 10, 15 years, i have seen more students come here. there used to be no students. because of the need to get more people to come in so they can make money and survive. [inaudible] that is concerning. one of the residents spoke about it early on this evening. those who are familiar with san francisco history know what happened to the fillmore. those residents in the district, those residents that live in the bayview and other areas -- it is a devastating thing. i have seen some of my friends i have known for many years. i went to lincoln high school. i'm from this city, and i love this city, and i love parkmerced. i do not want the ownership not to make money. they are a business. i understand that. they need to thrive, or that will be destructive to the whole community, but this would be even more impact full -- impactful if they go forward with the project. parkmerced i
