director goldstein: thank you. commissioner peterson, commissioners, -- president goh, commissioner, some of these items will not be heard this evening, and those are with respect to the property on mason street, item six. also, items 7, regarding another property, they have jointly asked that the meeting be rescheduled. with a board vote, we can move it to that date, december 17. president goh: do we need a motion? director goldstein: we do. president goh: so moved. director goldstein: any public comment? seeing no public comment, mr. pacheco, please read the world. secretary pacheco: on that motion, commissioner fung, vice president garcia: , commissioner peterson, that is rescheduled to december 14. director goldstein: thank you. moving back to a regular calendar, item number one, public comment. is there any member of the public who would like to speak on something that is not on tonight's calendar? please step forward. >> my name is ross wilkinson. good evening, commissioners. i am a tenant, and i brought an a

goldstein. commissioner fung: just to hold for a moment, i did review the tapes with the stops in -- -- with the stoppage, and i know the issues. director goldstein: thank you, commissioner. >> my understanding is that the permit holder is willing to agree to have a condition placed on the permit that the tenants do not have to vacate, and it is not contingent to the tenants agreeing anything, so we do not oppose that. president goh: so that does sound like a settlement. let's hear from the other side. >> so you want to hear from us? commissioner hwang had stated that she had resided in her home during a similar project, and there were other statements that the tenants could reside in the unit. the permit holders are anxious to begin, and the permit holders have agreed to pay the additional expenses it will take to do the work with the tenants in the building, and we just ask that you remove the suspension of a permit and allow the work to continue with the tenants in occupancy, and if you have

director goldstein: -- president goh: director goldstein, i do not have -- director goldstein: i can provide you with a copy of that. commissioner hwang: the last page. president goh: i have got it. on the front. president goh: and then, item d, the patio door would close at 10:00 p.m., and the bifold doors shall remain fully closed, and that should include the door we are speaking about now. right? vice president garcia: yes, i cannot find those conditions. do you want to just read them? does any other commissioner want to review that? president goh: would you like made it -- like me to read them? i can read them into the record, if you want. vice president garcia: does anybody want that? commissioner fung: i think in your motion, that there is one operable door, so wherever there is reference to multiple bifold doors, that would be modified. vice president garcia: right. president goh: i think that is in a, because it talks about the open door, but i think that item d is inconsistent with your motion. vice president garcia: yes, so we would just strike the second sentence of d. sec

director goldstein: correct. secretary pacheco: so, again, we have a motion from the vice president, to grant the appeal, with the request for release of suspension on condition that a notice of a special restrictions be recorded on the land records with a note that the board is imposing this record nation -- recordation, and that that paragraph is being struck, the last paragraph. director goldstein: and i would also add that the parties have agreed to the key terms. vice president garcia: thank you. secretary pacheco: and with that they have agreed to the key terms of the nsr. on that motion what all of those conditions and that basis, commissioner fung, president goh: , commissioner peterson, and commissioner hwang is absent. thank you, the vote is 4-0, and this is up held with that condition and that basis. thank you. president goh: great. we are going to take a short break. [gavel]

director goldstein: ok, thank you. we will move into the last item on our calendar, which is item number eight, a discussion and possible adoption of the department's annual report. commissioners, we repaired -- prepared this report as part of the city charter, as all do, and it is also to inform the public. this covers the fiscal year 2010-2011, from july 1, 2010, to june 30, 2011, and what i thought i would do is touch on some of the highlights, and that i would be happy to answer any questions you might have. during that fiscal year, you have heard 151 matters, a 13% increase from the prior year. however, it also reflects that appeal volume was down significantly if we look at the 10-year average. it was down from the -- for the third year in a row, and i took a look at this trend. at least 45% of the appeals stemmed from dbi issues, and it might begin to look at what the volume has been over at dbi over that same 10-year period, and i did notice some similarities. in 2008, when the economy started to go south, it w

director goldstein: thank you. we can hear from the other side now. >> good afternoon, president goh, members of the board. i am -- and we are working with the project sponsors and have been in the last couple of years on the variances and other things. we have submitted almost everything we could find, so our submittal is pretty complete, but included in that submittal is information about this jurisdiction request, which is 13 months late and seven months after the fact with respect to the building permit, and request for late in jurisdiction is extraordinary under any circumstances, but in these circumstances, it does not come close to meeting these. there is no adequate explanation for waiting this long for coming here and making this request. it is in the documents, but to remind you, the petitioners are both experienced, knowledgeable, and sophisticated. they are an engineer and architect, respectively, a husband and wife team, going back as far as march 2006, there is an attachment to their own document that

director goldstein: ok. commissioner hwang: 4 point of clarification, are you suggesting that proposal a the condition? vice president garcia: yes. commissioner hwang: so no hinge on the door. vice president garcia: i would absolutely entertain that. commissioner hwang: i am just asking if that was part of your condition. i am not adding to it, just asking. vice president garcia: whether it was going to be permanently closed and work, or some device on the door to ascertain, or make certain rather that it is closed as much as possible.

first monday in october, we look ahead to the supreme court's new term with marcia coyle and tom goldstein. >> woodruff: from india, fred de sam lazaro reports on the world's largest school lunch program. >> the second fastest growing economy in the world has almost half of its children mall newerished. >> ifill: and jeffrey brown talks to dr. anthony fauci about the nobel prize in medicine, awarded today to three scientists for research on the body's immune system. that's all ahead on tonight's newshour. major funding for the pbs newshour has been provided by: >> oil companies have changed my country. >> oil companies can make a difference. >> we have the chance to build the economy. >> create jobs, keep people healthy and improve schools. >> ...and our communities. >> in angola chevron helps train engineers, teachers and farmers, launch child's programs. it's not just good business. >> i'm hopeful about my country's future. >> it's my country's future. >> and by bnsf railway. >> and by the bill and melinda gates foundation. dedicated to the idea that all people deserve the chance to live

goldstein, you can take four minutes. >> thank you, sir. i have three points to make. the first is that my friend from the united states says defer to the experts, but the point that the united states consistently omits is that there are 600,000 offenders that go into the federal system every year. i don't understand the claim that this only involves 1% of federal offenders. the marshal service and i'm sorry c.e. admit 600,000 offenders a year. they are not kept in separate housing. these are cited in our brief. they're subject to a reasonable suspicion standard when they're admitted to jail. the second point about numbers, justice breyer, there is a significant empirical study, and that is the county of orange case, the district judge there did an unbelievably detailed job going through the record of 26,000 admissions into the system and was unable to identify only a single instance where contraband would have gotten in under a reasonable suspicion standard. there's also evidence in this case, and the ed -- evidence to my surprise my friends keep pointing to, page 07a

i want to bring in scott goldstein, following the case for the "dallas morning news." story this morning in our meeting. when you think about a rapist going after sorority sisters you think about parents going out buying pepper spray to protect their daughters. but we're not talking about kids in their teens or early 20s, are we? >> no, not at all. this is delta sigma ptheta, it's black women and mostly alumni. it's a national organization and in this particular case it's been women in their 50s or 60s. and we're not sure if they all live alone, but they've all been alone at the time of the attacks. so, no, it very well may not have anything to do with anything during their college days at all. >> we don't know. police don't know yet. but they're in their 50s, 60s. but also police have surveillance video of a man they're linking to one of the attacks. while we watch that, tell me what is it exactly he's accused of doing to these women? >> well, from what we understand, the video is somehow connected to the second of the four attacks. it happened sometime in april in pl

i want you to listen to what scott goldstein told me about this last hour. >> police have this surveillancea man they're linking to one of these attacks, and while we watch that, tell me what exactly is it he is accused of doing to these women. >> well, from what we understand, the video is somehow connected to the second of the four attacks. it happened sometime in april in plano, which is north of dallas. they're not even telling us exactly what the video is from, but what they are telling us, the plano police believe this is very likely their suspect and he matches the description that all four of the women have given. and the women have also said that during the attacks, during the sexual assaults, he indicates he knows something about them, about their group. >> scott, what does that mean, he knows something about them? like what? >> well, clearly all four of these women, the common thread, is that they're a member of that sorority. but, you know, as far as details of what exactly is said, cops are being pretty tight-lipped on giving us those details. but they are saying that at this p

with all the diplomatic damage that comes from being put in the dock the way israel was with the goldstein report. now, what i think would be helpful would be, i mean, you know, if people came to this subject for the first time, you know, i would say it would be very hard to explain to rip van winkle why this is even an issue. how did this arise? where did this come from? and i think it has to do with one of the points that i referred to in my comments about the loss of elite opinion. i mean, when israel lost elite opinion and the u.s. government and many of its national security policies lost elite opinion, that became the basis for the development of these ideas that go under the general term of lawfare. if you were advising an american president, and saying that this is a problem for america national secure to policy, not just for his relationship with israel but for his own policy and the president said okay, i agree, it's a problem. it's a kind of warfare against the united states, we plan to do with all other kinds of warfare against the united states, what's our plan for for dealing

goldstein whether we know whether the pretrial detainees in new york were searched that way on entry, and he says there's nothing that shows one way or the other. >> right, i think that's correct, we don't know. and, of course, part of the empirical problem in that is that that facility only had been open for four months anyway. so it's going to be difficult if you're going to adopt the policy that they adopted in bell to insist on some sort of empirical proof. >> the one significant difference between bell and this case is that in bell there was a real opportunity for people to plan to conspire together to bring in contraband. here you're talking about somebody who's arrested on the spot. there's no opportunity for planning, conspiracy, with respect to contraband, is there? >> no. but the policy is aimed at all people, not just at mr. florence. if you aim it at all people, there are people who self-report, who have an opportunity to bring in contraband, and a lot people just get arrested and ha to have drugs on them. rather than show those, they'll likely stick it in their pocket or

goldstein take four minor offenders. -- minutes. >> thank you. point that the united states consistently omits is that there are 600,000 offenders going into the federal system every year. i don't understand the claim this involves 1%. the marshall service has them not in sprit housing, but 600,000 people are expert to reasonable suspicion standard when admitted to jail. the second point, justice breyer, there is a significant empirical study and that is the county of orange case, the district judge there did an unbelievably detailed job going through the record of 26,000 missions in the system and only identified a single instance where contraband would have gotten in. there's evidence in this case, and the evidence to my surprise that my friends keep pointing to, there's a memorandum from the ethics jail from 70a to 71a saying every year they admit 25, 175 people in the jail and only found 14 instances of contraband, and they don't make the claim those 14 instances from 25,000 would not have been found under the reasonable suspicion standard. t
