some of the big citywide issues that impact the district include transportation. we had more muni service and some other districts. it is not always reliable. some of the major bus lines in the district are not reliable. we have major projects like the renovation of delores park. it is an opportunity to define what the park is and what changes we want to make to it. that is going to be and port project, the same thing with glen canyon that is going to undergo a lot of work. one of the most challenging parts of the new district supervisor is that we elect the supervisors by district. it is very important to pay attention to the district, be engaged in the projects in the district. we also represent the whole city. any district supervisor that focuses on the district without addressing the citywide issues is not doing his or her job. every day, i make sure i am working on the major citywide issues and the district issues. i try to be disciplined about that. >> how will you approach the tough choices? >> i think we have to start by looking at the most critical city s

and i actually think that we have it enough support for this in the arts community and citywide to go forward with the recommendation and let the board of supervisors get the input and make the necessary adjustments. thank you very much for the opportunity. president olague: thank you. next speaker. >> good afternoon. we wholeheartedly support the art requirement for the downtown development in the present form. and that are necessary to divert funds to what would otherwise be in public art to achieve the certificate which is of great consequence to any project. and to encourage developers to purchase or commission their own art work for installation in the the areas and to activate the public open space and the right conversation. we also agree with the department's analysis that the opportunity for developers there and with the money spent on public art and the 1% equated to $1.3 million and we actually spent $1.6 million. thank you. >> thank you. >> good afternoon, commissioner. i am here on behalf of several public art. and reaching out to us and specifically we believe that the s

1, 2, 3, and 4 with the inclusion you recommend the legislators consider expanding the proposal citywide and the size requirement is included and that the land use committee postpone their consideration to allow more outreach. >> one slight amendment to that, i believe the commission wanted 25,000 square foot size to apply to residential and nonresidential projects both. >> okay. as ms. rodgers has reiterated -- please exexcuse me. on that motion, commissioner antonini. commissioner antonini: aye. >> commissioner borden. >> aye. >> commissioner fong. >> aye. >> commissioner moore. >> aye. >> commissioner miguel. >> aye. >> commissioner sugaya. >> aye. president olague: and we are going to take half an hour break because we will have to leave the building to get lunch and come back. so we need the time. secretary avery: commission is taking a 30-minute break.

department and add on that the recommendation that the legislation seriously consider expanding this citywide in total. i realize it's going to take a touch more time and the developers i have been in touch with have considering some of the small details been very affirmative actually and i think we heard that earlier today as well. and so i don't think there would be a great problem with it. and that would be the motion. >> second. olague r commissioner moore. commissioner moore: i want to thank ms. lieberman and mr. williams for being a living testimony to the success of the work in the early 80's. and couldn't be a better presentation than those people who actively thought it out and thought about it and see it success. i come from professional practice that created some of the buildings and discussed much of the art including the developer who is really made this happen. and it's realfully that area where my confidence is that it would work to fix that part of it. and there is maturity and there is local, international experience and public spaces but also in working with artists who are

every day, i'd make sure i am working both on the citywide issues and on district issues.

it is a citywide lottery system period. so that statement is not true. i just gave you the facts.u want to look it up on iran, it is right on the website -- if you want to look it up on your own. >> it is argued that keeping children in their neighborhoods will lead to gentrification in san francisco. how do you respond? >> i will tell you what it will actually lead to from the actual perspective, not from a hypothetical perspective that is not based on this a big numbers. if you look at the statistics, from the current policies, they do not focus heavily on a neighborhood school-based placement system. in the last 10 years, we have moved further and further towards segregation within our school district. the interesting thing is, the current system does not focus heavily on neighborhood school proximity, and the reason for that is to keep the school ever spent to give children more opportunity in areas and better performing schools that would not otherwise have the opportunity to go to a higher performing schools. right now, we actually have a huge issue with schools re segregati

any supervisor that just focuses on the district without addressing the citywide issues is not doing his or her job. every day, i'd make sure i am working both on the citywide issues and on district issues. >> welcome to "culture wire." today we are visiting southern exposure in san francisco alison prepares to launch a fantastic new project called beautiful possibilities. we will send them on a two-year adventure crisscrossing the united states to investigate american history and contemporary culture. it is using a traveling road show as inspiration. she will sit down and talk with residents in search of stories and experiences that reveals exactly what makes us americans. >> beautiful possibility is a traveling research project that i will take on a five-month journey across the united states and lower canada. i document this tore on a map that i painted for the project and also from previous projects called the road map to lost america. on the map i have taken all of the contemporary borders off the map and replaced them with native territories, and then overlaid it with contempor

as a supervisor, i do have to be able to balance managing citywide issues, which is very important, but at the same time, focusing on the specific needs of your neighborhood. that is really important to us. one of the things we need to prioritize is that making sure we focus on the nuts and bolts of government. a lot of the calls we get involved fixing alights, replacing a pothole. i think it is really important to make sure we get those things right and we try to work very closely with the city agency to make sure government is responsive. if we do not do those things right, those little things, which are big things in life of a neighborhood. >> how you reconcile the needs of your district with the needs of the city? supervisor campos: i think it is possible to do that. even though we have these great districtwide elections, i think district election still allow you to deal with larger issues. we feel that we certainly have demonstrated that as a board. individual supervisors have demonstrated that. one of the pieces of legislation we worked on last year that we are very proud of is th

every day, i'd make sure i am working both on the citywide issues and on district issues. there are so many ways that the internet provides real access to real people and resources and that's what we're try to go accomplish. >> i was interested in technology like video production. it's interesting, you get to create your own work and it reflects what you feel about saying things so it gives perspective on issues. >> we work really hard to develop very in depth content, but if they don't have a venue, they do not have a way to show us, then this work is only staying here inside and nobody knows the brilliance and the amazing work that the students are doing. >> the term has changed over time from a very basic who has a computer and who doesn't have a computer to now who has access to the internet, especially high speed internet, as well as the skills and the knowledge to use those tools effectively. . >> the city is charged with coming up with digital inclusion. the department of telecommunications put together a 15 member san francisco tech connect task force. we want the

in the meantime, the "occupy oakland" protesters are calling for that citywide general strike next week. organizers say it still is in the planning stages but would involve shutting down businesses and taking students out of schools there. frank ogawa plaza is open to the public. hundreds of protestors marched around city hall last night and things were relatively peaceful. it was a big contrast as you might imagine to tuesday, when police dismantled the 2-week- old encampment at the plaza. it got national news. protestors clashed with police, who used tear gas to disperse the crowd. >> none of the oakland police officers used rubber bullets. we don't have that in our inventory. >> that's a lie and the police need to be indicted, investigated, and the police that did this need to go to jail. >> protestors say police were at fault. oakland protest organizers plan a general assembly at 6:00 this evening. >>> the oakland protestors are rallying around an iraqi war veteran. 24-year-old scott olsen of daly city among the protestors when he was hit in the head with some kind of projectile tha

many of the issues that we're most concerned about our citywide issues. i think -- what i think we need to do and you will see this in the transit center plans, that will -- we will be discussing in the coming weeks, there are serious issues we can deal with at the planning level and within that geography. i think we have a great working relationship with mta in the development of that plan. there are other issues that are beyond the jurisdiction or the geography of that area. it is important to recognize that they are scales of issues. >> sometimes we're looking at --[inaudible] and sometimes it is hard to see how it helps reach the goals we have, but sometimes i do not always see the forest for the trees or whatever, right? and then i guess the other thing is, dedicated lanes for buses and this sort of thing. i take the bus every day. even though people have this idea that there is this great -- there are not in the issues if you are coming from the center to downtown. there is the capacity issue again. the buses are packed every morning. i think that i

every day, i'd make sure i am working both on the citywide issues and on district issues. >> hello. welcome to "meet your district supervisor." we are here with supervisor carmen chu from district four, which includes the central and outer sunset and park side neighborhood. supervisor chu was elected to the board of supervisors in 2008 and reelected in 2010. we will get to know her and talk about the toughest issues facing the city. welcome, supervisor. thank you for joining us. let's start by talking about your background -- where you grew up, what kinds of jobs you have work. supervisor chu: my parents immigrated to the united states about 30 years ago, and i would say that is probably the most formative part of my background. growing up in an immigrant family, you learn many things. my parents raised me in southern california, and i grew up in the restaurant business. they had a small restaurant at the time, and i was there every weekend, working -- well, not working, eating. having a fried egg roll, wanton, something good. it taught me the value of working hard and what it meant
