six years ago san francisco police bought some expensive dna equipment for the crime lab.ver since it's been sitting unused. ktvu's allie rasmuss is live with our report. >> reporter: well, frank, there are two dna testing machines that the crime lab owns and is not using. we have a picture of them to show you. this is called an abi prism 400. and now some people including the police commissioner want to know why the department bought this equipment six years ago and never used it. >> certainly when we purchased this equipment it was with the intent that when we had the opportunity that we would make that happen, that we would increase the efficiency of the people who worked out there. >> reporter: the equipment is supposed to let crime lab technicians test 16 dna samples at once. san francisco police wouldn't tell us how much it paid for the two machines. but an online report priced them at about $140,000 apiece. san francisco police commander denise schmidt says they bought the dna testing equipment six years ago with a federal grant. >> we qualified for and got the fund

all of the equipment will be located and not be visible. information was submitted that t-mobile had not had the opportunity to review. i would like to respond to some of those questions. the project was designed to meet the requirements stipulated in the letter signed by the zoning administrator in 2006 and was further determined by staff to be considered an accessry use. it meets the definition of an accessry use. t-mobile required with all requirements as required by the application process including mailing notices to adjaceant neighbors. further the rooftop instaulation will have no impact of the commercial or residential uses or to surrounding buildings nor does it in any way endanger the court reporter residents of the building as suggested by mr. houston. the proposal will be reviewed by the san francisco building and fire department to assure compliance with all building and fire codes. despite the unfounded fears voiced by some neighbors, the antennas do not combust or elevate the danger of fires. in response to the questions of t

this equipment is called a boom pump and it comes concrete. it can pump 173 cubic yards of concrete for hours and had a reach of 147 feet. you can imagine the efficiency that is going to bring to the general contractors on this project. this is economic recovery in action, the ability to hire new people and the ability to buy equipment to put on a project. to us, every opportunity counts. every payroll that we make, every business loan payment terms, because it means we are coming back from one of the darkest economic times in our history. it is our responsibility to take this opportunity and take it forward. i would like to share a story of how we were able to pay this forward. we are located in the bayview district. we are a couple of blocks from bay shore boulevard and a few blocks away from third street. one of the most iconic businesses in the southeast part of san francisco is bodie concrete. they have been a landmark in san francisco forever. this is how we met our new employees. my son was out pumping country when a driver walked up to

equiping them and equiping residents in those areas with jobs that will enable them to stay in san francisco is critical to that. >> the important thing that i see here at caminos is it helps the low income community, it helps the women who wouldn't have this opportunity otherwise. >> the workers with more education in san francisco are more likely to be able to working that knowledge sector. where they are going to need that familiarity with the internet, they are going to find value with it and use it and be productive with it every day. and half of the city's population that's in the other boat is disconnected from all that potential prosperity. >> we really need to promote content and provide applications that are really relevant to people's lives here. so a lot of the inspiration, especially among the immigrant community, we see is communications with people from their home country but we as much want to use the internet as a tool for people to connect within the local san francisco community. >> i think it's our job as public educators to give them this access and give them this opport

is this billion dollars all for the equipment, or is this to man the equipment as well? >> well, it is essentially for the equipment that is going to be required. and then ongoing costs for the personnel to maintain the equipment, do the training and have it all ready to be deployed in 24 hours should a situation occur. >> tom: and where do the additional costs come from? >> the costs will be coming from the participants, the four companies. but we have in mind that ultimately, all of the participants that explore and produce in the gulf of mexico will participate. they will pay in, and it will be a non-profit organization. >> tom: and how will you determine that pay rate? is it shared equally? is it by the amount of deep water production companies have in the gulf of mexico. >> i think that will be determined in time. we just thought this was very important. we've been working on this for the last six weeks. we felt that the industry response on containment was inadequate, and this is what we're putting very proactively, putting it in place. >> tom: this was spurred on

it makes sense to take the equipment and protective. they are working with local leaders to come up with the best way to do that. it is hard to find high ground in some of these parishes. we know that we need to put this stuff where it is protected. we are happy to have that negotiation, but i think we are all in agreement. agreement that we need to put this equipment where it can be best maintained and be safe for following use. i am still haunted by the specter of flying in over your lens on september 6 as the principal federal official and looking down onto a parking lot full of buses that were flooded and not used for evacuation because they were not moved in time. next question. >> i have a question regarding the seep that was identified within 3 kilometers. that ap has developed a map that shows the two old wells within the radius that you described. i wonder if i could show you this mapping you could point out which of those trust you caught me without my glasses. we can follow up on that. >> again, about the complaints from the

some of this equipment takes years to acquire, build the equipment. it is not dead -- uncommon for big-ticket items for big items to be procured. in other cases, it is just waiting to be put into the pipe line. we fell and come at the end of march, some of those things had not been delivered. host: so are you recommending that the state department keep a closer eye on where the money is pritchard, how quickly it is spent? guest: yes, we are working on developing a more comprehensive delivery schedule so that they can close the gap on expected delivery date. we would like the state department to develop a more comprehensive schedule that would of line when things would be delivered so that they could then be used as a part of operational planning. host: how much does all of this cost, how much has been spent? guest: the total program is about $1.6 billion. about $250 million is going to central america, the rest is going to mexico. 46% has been obligated as of march. so we are not quite halfway there in terms of obligations. the expenditure rate is cur

meaning that all of our equipment has to be able to be fully operable during wet weather, we have to be able to turn everything on and operate at max. we can also not have any dry weather violations. remember we talked before about the wet weather season being effectively october through april? have i given you too many pieces of paper? do you need a replacement? >> [unintelligible] >> as the commissioner pointed out, the permit also requires placing equipment on a regular basis with a capital program so that it works well. replacing the inefficient and undependable processes that are breaking or troublesome, we need to upgrade the order control an institution to electrical. everything is in service, 24/7, constantly running. we have talked a lot about risk and removal. we have seismic, structural, and erosion upgrades with perimeter improvements that will have to be made into facilities to be a better neighbor. starting with chicken plant upgrades, we have in-city treatment plant upgrades looking at seismic upgrade works, electrical, mechanical, structural, new structures, processes
