everything, this is foote's great line to ken burns.rything we are or will be goes back to the civil war. and in that marvelous phrase, i think in the first ken burns told me in the first eight or nine minutes of the taping of the filmingÑi of foote when fooe said it's the crossroads of our being. i think it's the greatest single homerric tag to the war. >> charlie: so the civil war defined us the kind of country we would be. someone said in the revolutionary war we created the country and the civil war we defined what kind of country it would be. >> yes. and i would say a memory frame and look at the expea asian and a sinewy struggle with. the twin original sins in the country i think were slavery and the removal of native americans. and the civil war was the great fire to use lincoln's image that we came through the fiery trial. and if it had gone the other way, if ourÑi native region had won, lord knows what would have happened. we would have become i think añr playground for european colonial mowers. we would not have been the count

. >> as far as the foot beat, i generally speak citywide, all 10 district stations have foot beats. in the northern district, we have run some permanent foot beats. we run our violence reduction foot beats as well for public housing. we have the continuity of the same patrol officers in the same sectors that are required as part of their driving the to to walk along lowerhaight and japantown area. right now, i don't have the resources to devote a foot be to those areas. again, we run a lot of foot beats a citywide every day. on the numbers in front of me -- in the northern district every day, we run no less than six. i agree. it is a great interaction that the officer does have with the residents and the merchants of the community. you cannot beat it. i get out and walk. i really cherish that time that i am out there. it is invaluable. it is a win-win for all of us. there are positive relations between all of us. again, as staffing allows, we will increase the foot beats a citywide. in the northern district, we run no less than six. that is replicated citywide. >> in my first meetin

but in this case it ripped open a three to four-foot hole. there's what's called tear straps under the skin to prevent that rip from propagating even further. from that standpoint they were never in danger of crashing this airplane. >> we have seen these incidents before, as tom pointed out. has the industry underestimated the toll that age and repeated landings and takeoffs take on airplanes? >> i don't think they've underestimated it, lester. i think we have to be very cautious, because we know from history, there's been aging aircraft issues and, of course, this is an older aircraft. however, we also have to look at the fookt that this is a new event. it could be something totally unrelated to the process of aging aircraft but more to the inspection now. because there are more xprensive inspections and the mechanics could actually do damage by doing some of these inspections. we have to wait until the ntsb does their investigation. >> at 34,000 feet, you have to get oxygen on in a hurry or as we saw on that flight, people start passing out

every square foot. that is a recorded document. i think he said it was not a record and document and that they did not have to worry about it. it is a recorded document. if you read this document, that has been a concern from day one. that is back when it was constructed. the concern was this 19 dozen square foot sort of orphan parcel, if you're going to build something bigger year sought cutbacks -- something bigger here, you have got to set it back. i do not think the 1967 agreement has been satisfactorily addressed. i do not think they can ignore it. " i hope you understand the issue with the setbacks. i am happy to answer any questions. commissioner peterson: no one is saying that builders are optimistic, but i nder why you want this about? we do what you want this about? you would rather have a taller building but more of a setback? it may be set back by 3 feet. >> we appreciate that apparently they are making efforts to reduce the encroachment, but i would answer that a couple of ways. number one,

they knew every foot of sidewalk or st. they could close would reduce the number of pedestrians and civilians exposed. the suspect turned toward them with gun in hand. lt. parra and sergeant gordon were no more than 5 feet from the man. both had that split-second to realize that they were on the brink of using deadly force with all of its consequences. once again, the officers ordered the suspect to drop his gun. staring down officers, the suspect raised the gun and then tossed it to the ground. lt. parra and sergeant gordon maintained control of the scene. they directed the subjects -- suspect to the ground and directed him away from the gun, handcuffing him. they also rendered aid to the victim in an attempt to save his life. they turned their attention to isolating other potential suspects. they directed the arriving units to secure the suspect, perimeter, murder weapon, to locate witnesses, they ran a textbook investigation and follow-up. we are tremendously fortunate that these two officers were on that street that nig

under the proposed lease, the asi anna airlines would pay a rental rate of $it 2 per square foot for a total of $800,000. as the budget analyst report it is a rent reduction of approximately $94,000 a year. we saw a similar rent reduction when the committee approved our cargo lease with china airlines. we'll see this as things come before you where at the end of a few 10-year leases, particularly with some of our cargo tenants and the cargo market is substantially different. much smaller than it was a year ago. so the new lower rental rate is the result of a negotiation between airport staff and the airlines. and we feel that it is a fair market rate. supervisor chu: ok. let's go to the budget analyst report. >> madam chair, members of the committee, debra newman. as she indicated and as shown in our report on page 4, table 2, the current lease with asi anna airlines is at a rate -- asiana airlines it is a result the $943,146 per year under the new lease. although the square footage would remain the same, the rental rate per square foot will go down to $21.40 so there will be a total

he was shot in the foot. that was the last violence attributed to gangs, until february 21 of this year. on february 21 of this year, 22nd and mission, three suspects asked the victim's what they claimed, then they punched and stabbed them. on february 26, 3000 block of 16th street, a victim was confronted by four nortenos, who stabbed him nine times. less than an hour later at 17th and mission, a victim was fatally shot in the next. -- in the neck. on march 2, 24th and harrison, a known norteno -member was shot by an unknown suspect, the fourth time in his life he had been shot. and that is the last confirmed gang incident we have had in the mission district, march 2. on march 14, we had a well- publicized shooting at 16th and caledonia. however, we don't have any evidence is gang-related. as more time goes by and we don't get evidence of gang connection, the more that we doubt it is gang-related. because these guys. about what they did, and gang assaults and shootings, there always bragging about it. we hav

you heard and saw in the powerpoint that there is some substitution of 40 foot coach's 460-foot. i think that begs the interest as to why the 60-foot coaches are not in service, because when the buses get overly crowded, that is when the service slows down dramatically, and that is when buses, the lack of preventive maintenance, scheduled maintenance, repairs, that, i think, contributes to usage of vehicles. when you have a 40-foot, you have more people standing on the aisle. that makes it harder to get on and harder to get off the tissue have to wonder way through the crowded aisles. in terms of making it clear to the passengers, there is a switch back or a turn back, again, with the articulating buses within the 7100 series but with all of the 40 foot buses, there is already voice announcement system. it does also have an autocomponent that plays in three languages announcement simply about the feet. the digital system only functions right now in english. why could it not have some simple announcements for a switch back or turn back in spanish, with chinese characters, that peo

we break our building down into a 43, 10-foot width and then a 30-foot width and with this we step down coming down the block to relate to the topography of the street. with the first setback, we come back 13 foot 10, then on the setback from the rear yard we come back 15 feet nine. then with the, on the materials of the building, basically once again we have a tile water course in the bottom with plaster above and then we have aluminum panels that kind of he chloe the middle part of the building, then we have a protected canopy at the top. then for the community center with the ground floor we have windows at the street level and then windows at the rear yard, trying to pull views through the building and to the street level. and then up above, we have a channel glass system which i've brought here and i can circulate that with you in a minute. that's -- that diffuses the light. it's a double channel system that makes a translucent appearance and it brings light into the building but it also doesn't project light. it's really a gloge element more than a projected light. -- glowing elem

the effect would be and 85,000 square foot enclosed terminal, meeting our functional design, 4000 for the ultimate case. we needed to save more money and that i just showed. looking at the interior of the building, considering sliding doors, elevators, it, seating, window shades, $100 million in savings. we also looked at substituting asphalt for pavers in the ground transportation area. for the new commissioners that is the area between the terminal building and pier 29 as shown on the screen. would it have been nice? it is not necessary. they do not have them at the airport, we can do without them here. but they did say of another $1.5 million. the marginal wharf is a 50 foot swath on the bay side of the sea wall running along the embarcadero. part of it was built in 1914, the other was 1965. we tried non-destructive concrete piles. so far found to be suitable for advanced construction projects. if you recall, from our last phase, the first is what we intend to deliver for the america cup. at that time we did not have to deliver the

and i didn't say that it was a three-foot notch for five feet. but it was on the west side. so my understanding of the motion, it was made by commissioner moore, was in a it was for the whole -- was that it was for the whole side. if that was wrong, i'll also say, commissioners, that in order to avoid this type of thing in the future, i -- with a there -- in a it be cleared up before the -- that be cleared up before the meeting is over. this unfortunately, although think it was necessary for us to do because there is a question. but it should not go beyond the hearing. it should -- the clarity should take place at the hearing. before we adjourn. >> i think the city attorney could clarify on the record for us. >> could i add a comment here? >> sure. >> just reflecting on what secretary avery is saying, the difficulty with this particular drawing set and i would like to use that as a forward-moving comment, the drawing set is represented in two scales which makes it very difficult to read. the first is the one on which the setback or the cutout was documented as the first draw

little more than one foot. these are exceeding above a level that happens less than once a year and you can see, over time how often those get exceeded. i won't go into the filigree here. let's go to the next one. you missed my cartoon but - summing up, in this report did you know the program manager from the climate program from the energy commission and i have to say the state of california is - it's a wonderful place to work because you know, we have this rich area and we actually have a rich scientific community and state agencies that are pretty enlightening. this here meeting ain't happening in nebraska, guys. any way, california has the opportunity to really be a leader in a lot of different ways. do we have anybody from nebraska here? the magnitude of the impacts of climate change going back to the different emission change, get much worst if the global greenhouse loading takes this higher rather than lower route. and the greenhouse loading in the atmosphere, which i should have said earlier is a big pr

but the truth is you can build a 20,000 square foot building and they can only use 6,000 square foot of that building. if we were to build the building on the present site that goes all the way to lombard street, we would have a much larger library all on one floor and that would go from 8,500 square feet to 12 thousand square feet. president olague: thank you. peter warfield, bradley, lizzie hirsch. so i guess we should have mr. herrera, and mr. ginsburg wanted to speak. should it follow this portion of the hearing? i believe so. this is public commentary, so it would be when we hear the item, when the item is called, and it hasn't been called yet. >> this is public comment only on an item that has been closed. this is not the time for presentations. this is on the e.i.r. president olague: this is public comment on agenda items where the public hearing has been closed. which is only the e.i.r. but the actual e.i.r. hasn't been called yet. the actual item hasn't been called. >> i'm peter worfield, executive director of the library users association, and we have some strong concerns t

the limit, the amounts presented in the permit, which was 50 square feet short of the 4000 square foot limit. when i requested that the interior be measured, it was, i thought it was going to happen. i did not know that dbi was going to be unable to do that measurement. it was not that clear to me that that was something dbi could not do. the answers were, yes, we can measure it. i need some clarification. >> if our department was asked to measure, we would try our best to measure it. if construction has not started, that could be difficult. i would need something from planning as well. there is a planning code. the 4000 square feet, and where exactly the measurement would be taken from, if it is the exterior wall, in the middle of the wall, that would be something. building code requires it from the inside for exiting purposes, for occupant load, which is the only times square footage would come up. we would be measuring the square footage if it goes over 4000 square feet. it is a planning code, not for a conditional use. i would have to ask planning. i was thinking if we did have to
