commissioner fung's comment. creatively respond is something that is hard to budget, it is something that is hard to prepare for, particularly when you scrape every day to do the necessary work. what i would like to suggest and see support for is the robust continuing education and utilization with other cities and planning departments, e.p.a. on challenges that we need perhaps in similar as it is spread across the country in different kinds every responses. this department has always been the leader in innovative planning and pilot programming. i hope we will find a resource for each of our staff to stay current, look at future skills, to continue to form technology but also in the real art of planning. as you indicate, it would need to be program and budget-driven to approve development application by staying strong and creative in the art of planning itself. i appreciate the addition of additional departments to dill e skill level and i hope we will have some support for robust continuing education to stay ahe

brian fung thank you very much.t to the nation's capitol and around the country, in advance of the inauguration, we're joined now by cnn law enforcement analyst, jonathan whackrow. good to have you on, jonathan. i'm floored by the security presence in washington today. that there are going to be more than 20,000 troops by january 20th. every road leading to the mall, right, has a security checkpoint and reminds me of kabul. as americans see that and see the national guardsman armed now with automatic weapons, does that force deployment tell us about the size of the threat here? what do you get about the intel about the threat from looking at all of those forces? >> 100%, jim. what we're seeing, the optic, the show of force by the national guard, the secret service, law enforcement partners, in advance of the inauguration speaks to the signature of this threat and the real concern that law enforcement officials have. i mean, what we're dealing with is the threat of violence from domestic extremists, from terrorists.

cnn tech reporter brian fung is following these reports for us, so, brian, will apple take parler off they absolutely will, fred, and this is a huge setback to donald trump's supporters. parler is a social network that bills itself as a platform for free speech. in practice what that has meant is a lot of violent rhetoric and incitement on the platform. we've had companies including apple, amazon and google forwarding examples of these types of content to parler saying, hey, we've seen threats of assassination, calls for civil war, what are you going to do about it, and now these platforms, seeing that parler has not done anything about them, have removed the app from the app stores as well as the amazon web services which is the cloud hosting provider that keeps both parler's website as well as its app functioning. so all of this means that even if you have the app installed on your phone, you won't be able to access the service. and parler's ceo is saying the companies are trying to stifle speech and that the service could be down for up to a week while it tries to find a replacemen

commissioner fung? >> commissioner fung: you know, what this commission can do with cell sites perhaps can be directed in questions a slightly different way to the city attorney, and should staff want to voice their opinions, they can, also. so some of the issues that have been brought forth relates to health hazards. i'd like to separate that portion of the discussion away from the conditional use issues of location. perhaps the city attorney can bring forth the litigation that has occurred with respect to looking at the e.m.s. emission as a health hazard. and then, the second question related to that is is that cell companies have severely litigated both the city and other jurisdictional issues throughout the state. do you want to address that, austin? >> sure. thank you for the question. the issues have been well established that radio frequency emissions and e.m.s. are regulated by federal entities, by the f.c.c., and they have set forth certain standards. the initial standards, i believe, were adop

thank you. >> commissioner fung?he points that the commissioner chan brought up is along similar lines of one of my comments, and that is that we should encourage the organizers and planners to look at what are short-term fixes versus long-term fixes, and to be able to identify those in greater specifics. i think that as an example the reduction of process is one that i think can be a relatively short-term fix. but as you see what occurs every week, the discussions as to what is appropriate housing, what is appropriate density and what is appropriate location brings forth tremendous amount of difference of opinion, and i think we probably will see that also when we look at high opportunity areas and mapping. i did have one question, and that is that are there other zoning areas besides n.c.d.s which may perhaps -- should be looked at with respect to increased housing opportunity, recognizing that there probably will be some density increases and other changes within the zoning from n.c.d. to n.c.t. i don't know who w

i believe commissioner fung also clarified what's going to happen. can you also clarify what's happening on january 20 to 21. what is the e.i.r. going to be approved. if it is for the hospitals, will you tell us if it will be the e.i.r. >> yes, i apologize that i didn't do that. right before us today is the programmatic e.i., which is the vision for the campus as well as the building sites themselves and the massing envelopes, if you will, of those buildings. that's what's going before the regeants. then there will be a certification of the environmental report. it is worth noting that we were scheduled to go to the regions in november and we've held over for this next cycle to allow ourselves more time to finalize the m.o.u. we're already waiting for longer than the original plan. in february, we will kick off the public process for the next e.i.r., the project for the next one. if we stick to the schedule, that would be published in the summer of 2021 and would be in front of the regions roughly the same time, november or january. november of 2021

. >> and for the record, when president fung basically asked that same question in 2015, i really did take that to heart, which was come together, come to resolutions. we wanted to do something that was short of having to move the stairs from the property line because we were told that it was permissible. with you know, with the variance, it is permissible, it is legal, and we were told that was the case, and short of moving the stairs, we were prepared and are prepared to do anything and have it resolved with the neighbors. >> president honda: hopefully you do that, and that president fung guy, we don't talk about him anymore. he left us. [laughter] >> thank you. >> clerk: commissioner chang? >> commissioner chang: well, i think both the permission holder and termination holder both acknowledge that the plans are inaccurate, and i think with inaccurate plans, it's hard to determine what's fair and reasonable and what should be done in the case. i appreciate the permit holder's willingness to address the inaccuracies and prepare accurate plans. i think that's absolutely needed in orde

elaine fung semrau, her father served in world war ii, and it was her story, and her father's story that compelled me to take this a whole other level further than just having them we featured in a documentary series. it was so important to realize that these chinese men and women served, they had no path to citizenship. yet, they serve anyway. they truly believe that they can contribute something to the united states of america, and they did so willingly, with great sacrifice to them and their families. >> and that's all the greater impetus to your project. frank provided his valuable research support, and he really had this bigger overarching goal in trying to force the project, and the personal aspect, the connections that you had to discover, you seem so important to this. i want to ask you about that so, fang, the american legion was founded after world war i, i think most people will recall world war ii veterans as well after returning home in 1945, 1946. could you speak a little bit about the contributions that chinese american veterans made to the legion, and also what role you p

fung billy pleaded not guilty following his arrest on murder and attempted murder charges after his motherduled for july. marty. >>well the u.s. is closer to approving a 3rd covid-19 vaccine doctor anthony fauci said that johnson johnson single dose vaccine, we'll be approved in about 2 weeks. >>i don't want to get ahead of them, but i have to tell you i would be surprised if it was any more than 2 weeks from now that the data will be analyzed and decisions would be made that's really good news as you said, because that would be if it does get an emergency use authorization, yet again another candidate that does have some differences and that's good because it gives a wider range of flexibility. well doctor fauci says another advantage of the johnson johnson vaccine is that it can be stored at regular refrigerator temperatures. >>unlike the pfizer vaccine. >>well, 6 flags magic mountain in southern california has transformed from an amusement park to a large scale covid-19 vaccination site you can see the theme park filled with cars and its parking lot as la county aims to vaccinate 4,000

. >> president walton: thank you, commander fung. >> president walton, i know that there's five more slides and i can get through them in less than five minutes and i want to thank the board for their patience and i know that it is important information. but with your permission i can go through the remainder in less than five minutes. >> president walton: thank you so much, chief. sounds good. >> thank you. so this is the really important slide. it shows exactly where we are. 272 recommendations. we have submitted, completed 193 of those. so 79 are in progress. and like i said we have 131 that are found substantially compliant. so the compliance measures, we have an agreement and collaboration with cal d.o.j. that each recommendation has compliance measures that have to be met before we can be found in substantial compliance. there's 998 in total. we have completed 792 of them. and that is validated through total substantial compliance or our conversations and technical assistance that we received from the california d.o.j. and hillard hines. so that leaves 260 compliance measures i
