i know director colfax wants to say a few words as well. >> thank you. thank you president green and really appreciate the comments from the other commissioners and just to extend on behalf of myself and the rest of the department how grateful and proud we are of laguna honda and what everybody has done. we are the city of saint francis and the quote attributed to saint francis particularly apt to what you have all done in the last year and a half which is, first do what is necessary, then do what is possible and see you are doing the impossible and i think that is apt for the incredible work that you've done and the leadership you have shown in terms of shifting a culture of the institution in so many ways through a very challenging bureaucratic system. one thing that never changed and think your north star was inshoring the health and welfare of the residents and their families were central so grateful for everything you have done and everything you will continue to do. >> thank you so much and thank you for being such wonderful care-takers of god's ho

colfax has been helpful to listening to us and being open and honest with us. so i want you to know that we very much appreciate that. but now we need the commission to take a position that it is unacceptable to use public dollars to bust the union. these workers need to be lifted up out of poverty. they need to be treated with dignity and respect. they need to be honored for the challenging work that they do. but more than 80 of them have resigned in the last three years. now that says something about the conduct of the employer, and it says something about the discouragement of the workers who are giving up their work for very very low wages to offer a service to san franciscans who's families desperately need these services. but his turnover rate and vacancy rate is simply unacceptable. so 16 million dollars, this year, he is slated to get more than 5 million dollars on track by this department over the next decade. we ask you to review the new language passed by the board of supervisors, we ask your assistance and holding al gilbert accountable as a ceo and

so we'll go to director colfax. >> thank you, hi, everybody. i want to touch on partnerships, this is recognized nationally and i often get text from colleagues that i used to work more closely with, who say, one of your team members is presenting and as usual, san francisco is doing a great job. i think the other part with the presentation, the team was, maybe a little too humble particularly around doxy pad trial that the city clinic was a major site for. and stephanie was coti, of this trial published in the journal of medicine. i think the other thing that was very that was very, ground breakinging for the department is for their recommendation, we move aggressively. you're seeing some of the data that looks promising, we're not ready to say definitely do the dox' pad. from the month we initiate dox' pa*d from now, it's becoming commonized. and many of them have taking it, it's not considered an unusual thing for people. it's an example of ground break research going from academic journal to being applied in the community. >> thank you, and

colfax and hearing in sarah and philip in just a moment let me give you a perspective san francisco like other major cities has had challenges and we register a couple of years ago had all eyes on san francisco and people were wondering what is happening we rolled up our sleeves and the proposed solutions earlier day with the police department and the chief of police talking about safety strategy and is a district attorney talking about the prosecution we have eyes and ears on the street and ducks in a row make sure safety of people in downtown union square in san francisco (clapping.) but we want 0 people to have a wonderful time we want phoenix to see celebrate the holiday spirit to enjoy the ice skating rink to come and witness the tree literally on thursday to explore the winter walk and harangue out at the various location and you know what people get hunger what when they're shopping who without the possibility of parole want to come and sit outside in this beautiful location and enjoy the cu songs or joy and glass of champaign while 240e let their kids run on union and hang out in

they finished almost half of the 140 mile project from colfax to the state line. >> we had some delaysith equipment and materials. i always happen with new construction. >> caltrans wants to resume road repairs before the end of the year but it is up to the weather. that can be tricky. for us in the bay area, i would say, the mood tanked because when it is -- it is one thing to be raining. it did. it was so jerry and misty. i was in the first part of the day in a lot of places. it is hard to get motivated. >> you posted one of those on twitter. >> it was fleeting. >> it was there and then it was gone. >> we saw some perspectives of the clouds when the sun went down. the sun was ducking underneath the clouds. were showers on the way tomorrow. after tomorrow, the forecast dries out. it dries out for a while. let's take a look at the big picture perspective here. we are in the midst of this brief stretch of unsettled weather. it is moving through the bay area. that stretch of dry weather will not just carry us and the end of the work week. it looks like most of next week it is going to be

it stretches from colfax all the way to the state line . drivers say they can feel the difference of the freshly paved asphalt, but it has been a challenge to get concrete done and higher elevations. >> we have delays with equipment. i always have been in construction. >> it is really all up to the weather . let's check in with first alert meteorologist paul heggen. >>> you can have these nicely paved roads. if you have a layer of ice and snow, it doesn't really matter. >> it doesn't. they will experience another round of snowfall tomorrow. we will talk about how much they expect in the sierra momentarily. let's talk about our weather around here. what you need to know as we head through the next few days. you can see this guys are clearing out over san francisco with that rain moving further to the east. this is the last band of showers moving out to the east. more showers are going to arrive tomorrow morning. these will be fairly light fairly quick. they are going to wet the roads as we head through thursday. a dry break that will last lo

the public defender, sylvia nguyen, the prosecutor on the case, farah soria, and the judge, linda colfax, declined. >> my requests for an interview. the hearing transcript show that the probation department did not agree with their plea deal. that would let robert sonza avoid prison time by participating in a residential program, quote, probation instead recommended that he be sentenced to serve his time in prison. still sansa got out with time served a little over six months in jail. how did that happen? so so was that a good outcome? do you think so? >> i have looked up at that case briefly. i was left with concern about that plea. it is not something that on its face, i believe i would have done. >> this case began under former prosecutor chesa boudin before his recall, but it wrapped up in the early months of brooke jenkins administration, when there was a culture that had been established here by the prior administration, in a very lenient plea, offers. >> and it takes time to sort of correct course to have of lawyers understand the true value of a case, the true public safety risk

public health grant colfax.t dorse our sheriff and fire chief jeanine nicholson, thank you for joining us today. mruz mrauz. now some of you might know that i used to be in a similar position like april. running a cultural center in san francisco. and let me tell you, it is not easy. and it is not easy when you have a very limited budget and you are trying to run programming, you are trying to rent space and trying to make things special for the community. the fact that april has really taken up the mantel and pushed the envelope to get additional resources from the city and think bell future and what is necessary to ensure well is a physical home for the american indian cultural center is something i'm excited to be continuing to partner with her on the work that she is trying to do to make that home a reality. it will be a lot of work. as i know many of you know and i am looking forward to the village sf what that will mean for the district as well as friendship house and all the great activities, events, hous

right now, they're holding traffic right around colfax. so if your viewers are familiar with this part of the drive up into the sierra, you know that colfax is a little bit lower in elevation before you hit the real snowy, wintry type weather conditions as we headed eastbound into the sierra this morning, we have some video to show you of what we encountered. there's snow on the roadways, snow on interstate 80 and chain controls in effect. so for drivers headed up in this direction as we get toward the weekend, you're going to want to make sure you are prepared just in case. i know we're not really expecting much in the way of a huge system over the weekend, but it's always a good idea at this time of year for folks headed up into the sierra to have those traction devices, have your chains or make sure your vehicle is equipped with all wheel drive because caltrans crews do check back at checkpoints making sure that drivers are prepared for those types of conditions. we saw, again, snow on the roadways. some patchy fog, even some snow flurr
