notwithstanding what i thought were improper self-help expediting serial permitting, i don't think that the argument that they are intending to delay can stand alone without the counter argument. also, while i recognize it might be frustrating to receive limited argument on the paper, i think that we are as a board entitled to have all of the arguments made at this hearing be considered and that is what we are doing. and that is what i am doing today. so for all of those reasons, i would feel inclined to grant the appeal. >> i feel that again, we almost don't have a choice because we have a permit that is essentially non-conforming on a number of basis and i would definitely vote to up hold the appeal. >> i would also repeat what i said last week which was that we have heard almost nothing related to the scope, and what its impact is upon the neighbor for an appeal. what is it about these that they don't like? other than the fact that there were procedural errors? . you know it really seems like this process should have been a site permit process verses a see quental permitting that occ

program, -- one will be invelers, some kind of expedited travel program. moving to risk-based is a major change in how we address these it is the right thing to do. finally, i cannot close my remarks without mentioning budget and sequestration. it is difficult to manage a large departments such as ours when you never know if you are going to have a budget, what is in it, and whether you are going to get more or less. we welcomed the action last week finally got a 2013 budget. congress finally put some money back in for customs and budget -- border protection. we are still in the process of packing what- un they did. you have to reach down and count and see where the money is. i cannot tell you what impact that will have. we will work through those even as we acknowledge that sequestration does have real impact. those will evolve over time. we will work our way through it and we will work our way through fashionin a positive with the department continues to coalesce and we continue to work on things like agility and flexibility, and where we move to a small

we have an incentive to expedited this. it would be after a lot of postponement because they are ill or something like that. usually what i do is try and call the other side. call the landlord and say could you please extend this pass through and usually they are cooperative. >> how long would you know this -- how well-known do you think this application is amongst renters? >> we think it's quite well-known because anytime we send a decision that contains a pass through. we send out a memorandum you mean in three languages that refer tenants to organizations to do actual outreach around hardship applications. i will admit, it's not pleasant. tenants, there is no privacy involved. once you say i cannot afford to pay a pass through that the landlord is required to. you have to prove that it you have to show me your expenses and it's invasive. >> when you say trilingual i'm assuming cantonese and spanish. are they also offered into other languages? >> we can get translators for any language. >> you said that certain categories

i hope to count on the board's support in order to expedite these payments. i would like to again acknowledge the hard working people that have been out there since the main break has occurred. san francisco puc general manager harwin kelly and his staff, [speaker not understood], dpi and others, thank you everyone for your continued efforts and attention and look forward to the support of the board of supervisors to help these residents in the coming weeks. >> thank you, supervisor yee. supervisor avalos. >> thank you, madam clerk. along with supervisor kim i'd like to acknowledge the life and legacy of president hu go chavez. there are very few people in this world have used the power of their resource he and governments to really challenge the world order and promote self-determination in their country the way hugo chavez has, and that was a great beacon of hope for a lot of countries around latin america that were able to bring forward new forms of government that would actually look at self-determination, free of u.s. -- [speaker not understood] that has

we're helping expedite and get these plans out as fast as we can. sometimes the plan reviewer argues something, the field inspector catches. we have virtually no disagreement from the contractors or designers on those issues. so, i think that, once again, the main reason something may come back in for discussion is because of a change to the field -- in the field to what may have shown on the plans. >> and that will come back anyway. it won't be overlooked just because the letter of approval. >> right. anything that changes in the field, if it can be worked out in the field -- a lot of times we say if it's a minor thing like adding a sprinkler head, great example because it happens all the time. maybe they put up a wall that's not a load bearing wall. that's building department. maybe they put up some sort of divider or something that loses sprinkler coverage and they add some, we say, look, we don't need them to come back in. we have hydraulic calculation our people can review. but if they say, oh, hey, we're adding this whole area, lots of sprinkl

process, more expedited process through the hardship application. and then i would also say that in addition to that, we would have to [speaker not understood] for residents who say they are on social security. there hasn't been means tested, we would have to essentially create the criteria around an asset assessment. but the idea would be to avoid any unnecessary hearings for residents who are on a fixed benefit. and i think that's, you know, within the interest of both the tenant community, both in the interest of the [speaker not understood] community who in many cases, you know, i think everyone agrees that the process take a little too long than is necessary. >> supervisor kim? >> okay. no, that actually answers my question. and just if we could get, you know, a commitment from you on behalf of the mayor's office to ensure we are able to move through with this trailing legislation before supporting -- >> you definitely have our commitment to do so and we look forward to doing it. and we hope to do it quickly as well. >> thank you very much. >>

have an option to file a motion to see a judge or a court jurisdiction and say, this is just an expedition and i do not want to do it and have a judge make a determination, how to you all envision that same protection and same right and what we are talking about now? >> it depends on whether we are discussing a probable cause regime, a traditional warned approach, or a subpoena not based on probable cause. if a subpoena, there would need to be prior notice. these current statutes allow prior notice when the government is pursuing a subpoena, then allows for delays notice, which is unfortunately obtained in a routine case. no one ever finds out their e- mails are being accessed, or does not find out more -- until much later. this is a complex question. what notice should there be? the current statute says the government obtains the problem will cause-based warned and there is no requirement. to the provider, not to the user. >> under the warrant, the theory is you have an independent person who has looked at it and determined it is reasonable and it is not a fishing expedition. now, my ques

that one had to do with expedited removal. so that was a specific -- >> i understand. but why would the decision in that case have required you to make a request of the secretary and the decision here to release onto our streets as opposed to the expedited removal and deportation 2200 plus people. we have seen documents that suggest the plan was to really several thousand more onto our streets without any approval from secretary napolitano. >> the regulatory authority for expedited removal is set for this secretary, not by the agency. unlike attention releases, ice has exclusive detention authority here to >> if you want to increase the deportation of people outside the country and expedite that, you have to seek the approval of the secretary. but if you want to release the same people back onto the streets of the united states where they can commit more crime, you do not have to seek the secretaries of rule for purpose. >> no, that's not what i'm saying. if i wish to change the rules for expedited removal, i have to go to the secretary with that proposal. that authori

comment that the budget analyst office is totally supportive of reducing the backlog in order to expedite the permit process in the system. we understand that problem. and we are totally supportive of that, as stated in table, or shown in table 7, on page 11 of our report, we are recommending approval of 8 of the ten, posted tenure positions and we recommend disapproval of two of the ten positions. with respect to the one planner position... so we can recommending eight of the ten. 80 percent. the one planner position that we are recommending approval of is very simple. there are 3.28 vacant positions. we believe that any department, not just the planning department, but any department should first fill their vacant positions before they go to the board of supervisors and ask for new positions. if after that is done, and the department can still justify additional positions, of course, we would look at that if that is referred to us by the board of supervisors. and recommend approval if it is justified. but prior to not filling 3.28 vacant positions, and our professional judge. makes no s

what is your competence level that will our policy intent to expedited this process to make it efficient as possible that planning and dbi are going to be able to do that and by doing that, are we going to then be slowing things down for everyone else doing other work. i know that for both departments we have a boom bus staffing funding model which i think is terrible for a policy but it's how we do it. so if you can comment on that. >> absolutely. i do have a tremendous amount of confidence that the acting director is going to set up a program to administer this. we've met with them on several different levels. this is something when you hear complaints about the permit process and if they are doing this over the counter and the drawings are done to their standards they should be able to walk out of there. >> how about the planning department? >> it's been very helpful. it's typically not visible from the street. we have been able to work with scott sanchez and some of the staff in instances where a brace frame is noticeable. they have guidelines not only for their staff but something t

when earlier expeditions came to copan, they found the hieroglyphic stairway fallen into a jumble. one expedition rebuilt the stairway, but their effort resulted in an assembly of hieroglyphs that were out of sequence and made no sense. artist barbara fash has been drawing each glyph on the stairway in an effort to reassemble them in correct order. fash: we've been doing this now for over the past 10 years, recording what's left of the hieroglyphic stairway. as you can see, it's deteriorating very rapidly, and we're losing very important information. what we're hoping to do is be able to put it in order, and that way we'll be able to have a better idea of what the hieroglyphic stairway actually said. keach: fash's work is already paying off. it is now clear that this is a kind of ancient media blitz -- a stone billboard recalling all the great deeds of copan's kings, including eighteen rabbit. it was propaganda, and it was probably effective. the royal dynasty continued, and the king who built the stairway lived a long and prosperous life. but to william fash, the king is trying to

if i see a repeat questions, it will help to expedite the process, answering those questions that people want answered. we have some of the best and brightest minds here. don't be shy. if you could do us a favor and use the microphone so that everyone can hear your question. >> you had mentioned about assistance in public contracting. for small companies, one of the issues is bonding. what do you do on that? >> for all public contracts, public agencies need to see that there contractors have bonding in order for them to demonstrate they can complete the contract. sba provides an insured bond guarantee to those who do bonding to small businesses on public contracts. so there is an sba program on a maturity bonding, similar to what we do. it is a guarantee to be assured the in the event of a default, that is a guarantee. so there is a charity bond guarantee, structured differently than the sba guaranteed loan program. >> i am a big fan of marketing. let us know if you have a small business in there that we can patronize. thank you. -- in that area that we can patronize. >> i have a company

certain of, as obama looks at syria and iran, he wants to avoid any kind of entangling war, long expedition nature war like america has fought over the last 10 years. chris: these wars, if we go into iran, does anyone think it's a quick war, in and out, without historic repercussions on the other side? >> absolutely not, which is part of the reason why nobody within the -- there are very few people in the administration that have any sort of appetite for a war in iran. the same goes with syria. we saw with the libya entanglement, we saw sort of barack obama's doctrine. he is going to be looking for very much multinational-type force. he is going to the u.n. he is looking for the french to take a lot of the lead. he is going to be -- but nobody, even with both syria and with iran, there is no nobody particularly at the pentagon who is really wanting to do this right now. and barack obama least of all. chris: michael. >> chris, this poses problems, the perception which i think is accurate of our wearyness causes problems particularly in iran. people don't believe that this president really is
