do something to make sure that didn't happen again so i registered a group with the irs the citizens committee to confirm clarence thomas to try to make sure they did not weasel out and hearing that what clarence thomas went through it was tough but all the way he answered every question i knew him from the department of education almost every conservative in town knew him and respected him and admired him. and then at the end of the hearing when everything was almost finished, all of a sudden a surprise witness , anita hill. a young woman who had worked in his office for several different assignments following him from the department of education. she did not allege physical assault the inappropriate verbal conversations. that would be called boorish behavior but it was earth shattering at the time. the media immediately started to say he is finished he should withdraw and let me tell you there are people in the white house that wanted him to withdraw his name. clarence thomas is a fighter. i remember meeting with him i don't remember the circumstance but is any of this true? >> know it's not

in one thousand nine hundred seventy one there was a group called the citizens' committee to investigate the f.b.i. and the broken these these are a bunch of real leftists real progressive liberal. who grow up in to the media pennsylvania f.b.i. office stole information and showed the media look what the f.b.i. is doing that later involved or revealed cointelpro which led to the church committee and the last the actual laugh real liberals constitution flag waving patriots of the laughed they used to look at the intel state the deep state the police state as the enemy something happened some kind of weird i don't know some type of of a sedative or something was placed intravenously it took the collective conscience of these people and now they're all laughed the people who purport portray these progressives they're the ones arguing for more of this this intel state abuse now carter page is going to be one of the richest people in the world because the american people still don't understand what he did he had a title one fight a war and on him had to look at him in public i don't know if h

. >> moving onto the next item, is item 8, citizens advisory committee update. >> good morning, chair nuru, directors, executive director. my name is bruce aggett. i'm the chairman of the tjpa citizens advisory committee. the c.a.c. wants to congratulate the board and the project team on the successful opening of the salesforce transit center and all the work that went into that, including some of the festivities of the neighborhood ceremony and the ribbon cutting party. the c.a.c. appreciated the thanks that we received at the ceremony for our contributions to the completion of this phase of the project. as dennis mentioned earlier, a huge thank you to the contractors and the men and women from all the trade unions involved. overall, a fantastic job, quality project, and most importantly, a job done safely. for me, i join the c.a.c. a little over five years ago, and i wanted to thank director chang, i wanted to thank director kim for recommending me for this appointment. i remember the first presentation i attended. at that time, we were tracking status on the pub number of micropile

next, i think ensure a strong citizens advisory committee. we have a lot of community facilities funds to be generated. i think the concerns that i heard they want to know how this new revenue and benefit will be sent down and invested. what type of affordable housing and parks and pedestrian safety and bike lanes will be institute. what types of air quality around the freeway and residents to fund through the plan. to earn sure a level of confidence from the community the funds will be spent to benefit the neighborhood. we need a strong citizens advisory committee to recommend and advice to the commission on how to spend down the impact fees. i think the soma fund is a model of ensuring the fees are spent in a way to try to impact the mitigation of the development in the neighborhood and the office will work with the planning department and city attorney's office to draft that process. finally, by the way there are so many more issues. i know supervisor peskin has introduced an ordinance around the allegations if it is true we need to pace t

the migration advisory committee also said that eu citizens hoping to come here to work should not beiven preferential treatment after brexit. the impacts of migration depend on things like the skill of the migrants, but not fundamentally on their nationality. and so we don't think there should be a preference for eu citizens over non—eu citizens. the committee also found that overall, the impact of migration from europe to the uk has been relatively small. also tonight: the irish border question — the eu says it's about to make an improved offer to try to break the deadlock in the brexit talks. following the deaths of three men on an sas exercise, two supervisors have been acquitted of negligence, to the dismay of one widow. this is beyond unacceptable. and shows blatant ignorance to a vital need, where, apparently, three deaths are not enough. an elderly bus driver in coventry, who lost control of his vehicle, killing two people, wasjudged to be driving dangerously at the time. and it's in... and liverpool beat paris saint germain with a late winner in the champions league. and comi

majority vote however, i ask everyone in the room today, would you consign the fate of american citizens to a committee of other nations, including venezuela and the democratic republic of the congo, entities that are not even states, like the palestinian authority? you would not, i would not, and this administration will not. the icc is an assembly states party and cannot supervise the court anymore than the united nations general assembly can't -- can supervise u.n. bureaucracy. recent allegations of mismanagement and corruption among icc personnel make this perfect clear. the first prosecutor elected by the states parties attempted to bash the assembly of states parties attempted to protect a high-ranking government official from prosecution, assisted a businessman with links to violations in libya, and shared confidential court documents with angelina jolie. i cannot imagine why.

citizens advisory committee, but early educators, parents, early childcare providers, academics, and we're going to -- we're asking for people to be creep eightive in as many ways as they can, to reach out to the community and it could be on-line surveys or town halls and so forth. so that's what we're asking them to do. and i want to thank supervisor kim, who has been my partner -- partners in this effort from the beginning. for this, we're joined by supervisors ronen and cohen. the second item i would like to request is that i'm calling for a hearing on a report that was requested in resolution 1700095, which the board unanimously approved last november. this is the hearing on a 6-month report on an implementation of the police department's comprehensive plan and citywide strategy on neighborhood automobile break-ins, bicycle theft and property crimes. this resolution, which was co-sponsored by supervisors ronen, fewer, sheehy, kim, safai and supervisor cohen, we worked closely with the chief to draft this legislation that we passed. many members of the public, know people that are

i want to recognize our tjpa citizens advisory committee and our east kutch community benefit district. our director is here, for really working alongside this project for all of these years. and shoring it is one that not just would serve the region but serve our neighborhood workers and residents as well. i want to thank our residents for their immense patience over the many years as this neighborhood has become ground zero of construction, literally 24 hours a day. add to thank you for investing in this neighborhood, choosing to live here, and patiently living through the noise, the night construction can't get all of the traffic and continuing to advise the terminal in terms of how it can continue to serve the neighborhood. the san francisco police department will also be a huge partner and making sure this terminal remains a beautiful centre for this neighborhood. i know our captain will be shepherding many of his resources here and his deputy chief will ensure that he will get those resources. i also want to recognize our commander who will ensure that have the proper community r

however i have asked everyone in this room today would you consign the fate of american citizens to a committee of other nations including the venezuela and the democratic republic of the congo and entities that are not even states like the palestinian authority you would not i would not and this administration will not the i.c.c. is assembly of states party cannot supervise the court any more than the united nations general assembly consume the un bureaucracy recent allegations of mismanagement and corruption among i.c.c. personnel make this perfectly clear the first prosecutor elected by the assembly of states parties attempted to protect a high ranking government official from prosecution assisted a businessman with links to violations in libya and shared confidential court documents with angelina jolie. i can't imagine why. short the international criminal court unacceptably concentrates power in the hands of an unchecked executive who is accountable to no one it claims authority separate from and above the constitution of the united states is antithetical to our nation's ideals indeed this

she serves on the citizens advisory committee in the blue handle of the san francisco police department. she's a past president of jose ortega elementary school, where they advocated and won that school to be included in the school bond, and those of you who know jose ortega, it's one of the nicest schools in the school district. rebuilt on a beautiful hill overlooking the ocean. she was instrumental in advocating for and working with people the trail blazers before her in the neighborhood, mini and lovie, and those were their names, mini and lovie ward. that's what the rec center is named for, transforming, again, part of the neighborhood that was overrun with crime, illegal activity and drugs and violence. and that has now transformed into one of the most beautiful clubhouses and playing fields in the entire rec and park facility all over san francisco. children and families come from all over the city to partake in that, and we're very proud in that in district 11. she founded the first and only beacon, providing services to families and their children for decades. the beacon was the

in june, we presented to the citizen advisory committee for their feedback and input. we review stuff -- review the finalized measures early this month and staff is now currently working on putting a data collection process into place. while we don't have time today to review the full complete list of performance measures, i did want to highlight a few examples to become more efficient in managing our cost and staffing these things over time, we are talking a% of overtime as a% of base salary. and as a part of the effort, we have reinstituted a biweekly report that goes to the executive team of the top users. we have also included measures with long-term goals such as the number of gallons of storm water removed from the combined sewer system, in order to reach the future goal of a billion gallons by 2050 and reaching a target of hundred 60 million gallons by 2020. with other measures, before we can even set a target, there is foundational elements that are happening in order to collect data. for example,, tracking probationary performance management. once a framework

i myself would never run for a citizen advisory committee because i live in the mission district and i do work with the community in the tenderloin. part of our goal of our project is to give voice to voiceless populations in our community. and i think that if we could have a continuance, it would give us an opportunity to do more outreach to the actual residents that live there in the tenderloin and call that place home everyday. and i think in having more residents that are located in the tenderloin on that advisory committee would help steer the direction of the program's outreach they are tasked with doing and to start to actually get out to people who really do live there. >> supervisor a. safai: thank you. i appreciate it. sorry, the only reason i gave you a hard time is i need to get to a doctor's appointment. no, no, i want to make sure everybody has the opportunity to speak. any other members of the public wish to comment on this item? seeing none. public comment is closed. i just want to ask the clerk. was there some confusion on the listing in terms of how many seats were
