interest of the business that we do here in city hall. the legislation that you have before you today does a number of things. it imposes the amendment that would expand the issue of lobbist and more lobbying activity is subject to self disclosure requirements and limits exemptions that are currently in the law so there is no confusion about what it is that we mean to capture. we also at the same time ensure that permanent expediters have the same rules that we demand of lobbyist and attorneys that do business here in city hall. i think we both recognize that we should demand no less of ourselves than we do of the public and the interest we seek to regulate. that's why our legislation also calls for greater accountability for oversight, contracts, procurement and grant making that we do here when we do the city's business and finally the legislation i think goes absolutely best in making sure that our community is as informed as possible when it comes to the business going on here in city hall. we have enhanced public information provisio

there are two large reasons why i support the building of a new residence hall. one, i had no choice but to move off campus my third year at usf. it is difficult finding an apartment because it is a competitive area to search for housing. i found myself homeless through july and would often find myself web caming my roommate who would visit apartments. i was 2,500 miles away and it was very hard to communicate. often [speaker not understood] skeptical for having me as a tenant because my parents did not speak english so they weren't sure how to keep my family accountable if i were to miss a payment and there was no reliable contact to reach my parents. it was a stressful period for both my parents and i. second, with housing opportunities available to students, it really does foster a great sense of community. living in the residence hall for two years, i definitely have encouraged every student to continue to live on campus because you have that sense of community, you are not able to find anywhere else. you build yourself as a better leader by getting involved.

i'm manager of the tour program as well as i am the historyian of city hall. this building is multifaceted to say the very least it's a municipal building that operates the city and county of san francisco. this building was a dream that became a reality of a man by the name of james junior elected mayor of san francisco in 1912. he didn't have a city hall because it was destroyed in the earth wake of 1906. construction began in april of 1913. in december 1915, the building was complete. it opened it's doors in january 1916. >> it's a wonderful experience to come to a building built like this. the building is built as a palace. not for a king or queen. it's built for all people. this building is beautiful art. those are architecture at the time when city hall was built, san francisco had an enormous french population. therefore building a palace in the art tradition is not unusual. >> jimmie was an incredible individual he knew that san francisco had to regain it's place in the world. he decided to have the tallest dome built in the united states. it's now sta
