vice president clyde: right. i just want to point out that anything that makes life easier for me i'm in favor. so if it means that it's easier for me to drive in and out, i'll go for everybody paying for this. so i just want to caution you about these polls because i'm entering san francisco three times a year and it's easier those three times -- >> we always caution by this is a summary of people who participated in our feedback. we have also conducted regional polls that are statistically significant that show the polls for congestion pricing. i want to come back to low income concerns and shopping locally. the equity issue on low income has been an issue, but it hasn't been as significant because in the bay area, a lot of low income travelers are already on transit. what we found is particularly during the peak period, not all times of day, but particularly during the peak period and particularly to the most congested in downtown focused areas, a lot of low income travelers are on transit. 5% of peak traveler

commissioner clyde? vice-president clyde: i second that. i'm absolutely in favor of the intent of the legislation. i understand the driver of the legislation. you know, the fact that people have the intention to hire locally is one thing, and i understand the driver to make it a mandate. we have a very high unemployment rate in san francisco with labor and trades, so i support the intent. absolutely. but i have to agree that we have to make some statement that this commission is useless unless we are allowed to vet legislation be as it's coming forward and being proposed. so i agree with commissioner o'conner and i think we should draft a statement. it's just going by too fast. no one mentioned the $10 million limit, which is very small, and the tremendous competition that our l.b.e. amings are under for the contracts that now the larger companies are bidding for, and this is precisely the type of legislation that advantages the largest companies. so i think we should draft a letter. i agree. president yee riley: commissioner o'conner? comm

commissioner clyde? vice-president clyde: yeah, first i'd like to thank you for your work on this project and also the advocacy for the l.b.e.'s, and just thank you. so i would be, you know, very much supportive of the position of the human rights commission on proposed mendenhalls -- amendments but i would also caution that also the amendments are put in the legislation, there is no guarantee, and we've seen that it's very, very difficult to amend legislation going backwards. so i, you know, i would like to support a resolution or something they can't, you know -- to the board for tomorrow's meeting and supporting the recommendations. because, you know, our -- there's still so much pressure in the economy. this economy is not ramping up overnight. there is so much pressure and i don't, i agree with the punitive, you know, using punitive liquidated damages against small businesses is not a good way to go. president yee riley: so, director, do you -- is there any chance we can reiterate our concerns to th

commissioner clyde? vice-president clyde: yes, i will just want to say with -- for the record that i am concerned with the speed with which this is going forward. i'm not confident it's had a thorough vetting. there are many issues in here, like verification -- how long does a person have to be a resident of san francisco? where are people going to live? how large is the labor snool all these questions that the reason we're asking for a phase-in is because i don't think we know the extent of our labor pool or our local training initiatives. i mean, you know, if -- you can't -- you can't, for instance require city employees to live in san francisco, ok? so we have these local hire mandates. what prevents someone from just getting an address in san francisco and, you know, with their cousin or their friend and being then, being then eligible under this ordinance but not really living here? i mean i just find that there are many details that haven't been vetted, so i'm really concerned, commissioners, that

chief bass said, clyde, where is your chief? i said, sir, i don't know. he said tell the commission. i am telling you, he did not even show. he did not even show. he did not show up for three officers suicides. now i am told by the beat cops, friends of mine, he is setting us up. ithe wallet trek. did they caught the wallet, fill out the paperwork out. these cops are not stealing. if they don't fill out the paperwork in today's time, sorry, two days off. that is old. our police officers are not correct. they may not be perfect, but they are not correct. chief, wake up. don't humiliate the rank-and- file. thank you. president mazzucco: any other public comment? seeing them, call item two, please. a >> item 2, reports2 to the reports. ita is -- item 2a is the chief report. >> good evening. i have some crime statistics. crimes were down 8.3% year-to- date. there were 3200 if you were part one crimes. the breakdown is 4% reduction in violent crime and 9% reduction of other crimes. homicides are 44, and we were at 44 this time last year. if you need any additi

president yee riley: commissioner clyde. vice president clyde: thank you for the presentation. >> thank you for having me back. vice president clyde: i admire your work in this. it's a big project. just i guess i'll talk about the small business concern because there are several discreet neighborhoods within the northeast cordon which seems to be the preferred option at this moment for further study for different reasons. >> can i clarify one thing there? although it is the best performer, we would recommend all of the scenarios move forward for additional analysis. vice president clyde: that's what you're looking at different analysis of this study of congestion pricing. i'm a big fan of using our existing infrastructure like the tolls or the parking system in order to reduce congestion and reduce trips. i know that you have a discreet time of day entering and leaving. there are people who out of economic necessity will adjust their hours. i mean just out of economic, even at a 50% discount. i have got kind of multiple

>> i just wanted to respond to commissioner clyde's comment. working with commissioner dooley the last time we were here we actually did a presentation in north beach. she suggested we go to the north beach meeting and we did that with commissioner dooley. president yee riley: director. >> i want to make a comment for the record and that is as our, we're beginning to hear from many of the businesses through the small business assistance center and taking a look at things such as this, not only do we have businesses that are subject to impact fees in this particular area and adding to this, i think what we're beginning to see is that even as a business, well financed formula retail, i mean we're making it harder and harder and harder for low income businesses to come into certain areas. so in effect, it's a subtle red lining and i think that we really need to take a cautionary note of such things as how they overlay and i would like to see this in the economic analysis as to how this type of fee will affect a business in relationship to all of t

clyde memorial church became a christmas site. clyde says it has seen demand for it's toys rising. as the working poor and the newly unemployed try to make ends meet. >> this year is very difficult for families. even working people who can't afford to buy toys and gifts for their children. we have seen them standing in line since 2:00 this morning. >> my kids wanted toys out here so we came from oakly california to try to participate in this wonderful giving and blessed christmas. >>> clyde will also serve holiday meals to those in need on christmas eve and on christmas day. >>> is your internet service providing blocking your access. tough new rules were handed down today. what they will do to your view of the worldwide web. >>> and another hurdle for former hp ceo mark hurd. why the fec is now looking closely at how he left his former company. >>> there are more problems tonight for former hewellet packered hurd. the fcc has launched a probe to determine whether hurd shared sensitive information about the company's acquisition back in 2008. investigators believe the leak might ha

vice-president clyde: and i do think we need to combine a nolte that commissioner o'brien made, that a large portion of the issue around jobs right now in crag settle economy and i think combining that particular awareness in relationship to the pool of -- that particular awareness in terms of -- well, anyway, i'm just going to leave it at that. but i do think that we need to draw that important point, that one of the big issues with jobs right now is also the economy. >> so, commissioners, would this be a response? or would this just be a statement? president yee riley: a statement. commissioner o'brien: a statement. president yee riley: and the fact that we weren't involved the commissioner o'brien: we don't have anything to respond to, so i would imagine it's defined as a statement. >> the commission did not have the opportunity to make an official response, so the commission is sard -- forwarding on a statement? >> yeah. >> ok. president yee riley: do we need a motion? >> yes. vice-president clyde: yes, i move that we adopt the statement and send it to the board to the clerk of t
