degree and so that is what i can commit to you that we will take it, and miss chan is very good at holding us accountable being true in reporting data. and reminds us constantly, about research, and how we can and cannot say something. and so, i know that she will hold us accountable with the same but if you don't mind, i would like to take this conversation back and we will come back with it. >> that is fine, i just think that the question should, and it has been out there and should stay out there and we should try to figure out how to answer it and simply, i think that since you are giving us the kc result and give us comparative results because that is the one statistic that is the conditions have not changed over time are more kids passing it earlier or are we at a point that this graduating class where more kids have passed it than other years, i would love some of that perspective and then, i am going to ask, actually, the peanut gallery asked me to ask two other questions. because they all right went. so the first question was, what percentage, or do we know what percentage of the cla

what is holding us back? >> on those numbers, they are better, but they're not at potential, if you will. and they could be and there should be a higher number of jobs. what is holding us back is probably a degree of uncertainty, a lack of confidence, the fact that a lot of companies are investing into themselves more than actually investing in capacity and in job creations. to, you know, to feel stroerng, to be more solid, but not necessarily investing in new capacity, which is what would be needed going forward. >> because there's a lack of clarity in terms of policy, is that one of the issues? >> it is one of the issues, yeah. lack of opportunities in some corners. lack of predictability, uncertainty b you know, the regulatory environment in which all the corporate players and financial players are operating. and we at the imf call for completing that regulatory reform so that people know exactly where they stand and decide to take the risk or not. >> you have said in the past that the european central ban

we've repeating been asking what's holding us back in terms of saving lives i want to thank sfgovtv it's important that our city understands how safety is first and not speed. the impact drivers what make to get to a site 5 minutes earlier in helping us to save lives we want to see the design sea implementation commitments we'll talk about political will and others things to achieve our goal we want to know what what we, do to meet those goals. i look forward to getting feedback on days presentation. i want to hand this over to supervisor yee >> thank you chair kim. i'm happy that we're finally kicking off that font and looking at the strategies that will get us to the vision in 10 years if with your fortunate we'll get to our vision earlier than that. one of the for the were finally looking at this issue a little bit more comprehensively i know you we've had discussions around fatalities and pedestrian safety and we've talked about the engineering piece of it and the isolation and sometimes, it's all about enforcement and others say we only have education about how pedestrians or driver

york city did that is comprehensive and can house all the vision zero strategies we're talking to hold us accountable and think how to achieve vision zero because megan said this is a real shift in the way we're thinking and if we're talking about the zero traffic fatalities we can't simply put together a list off what we've been doing but think progressively this is an exciting time to do that i want to see the city put together a plan to do that. >> thank you seeing no other public comment it's closed on this item. item 4. i'm so sorry did you want to - >> so we'll reopen public comment on this item. >> i'm lenore goldman i'm with the tenderloin health partnership. it's san francisco health improvement partnerships for the neighborhood pilot project we've been meeting with stakeholders and resident for over six months. we've targeted safety as the primary focus to enable other health improvements to occur. and it's evident that without, however, much we invest and put support into other height improvements when every single block virtually in the tenderloin shows up as red and black eve

what is holding us back? what is keeping us from achieving that destiny that we have been granted by the lord? what is keeping us from that? look, i would just say this, while there are millions of americans that are out of work, all you have to do is go out of this chamber and go down the hall and i can show you a lot of americans that have a job a and that aren't working. the senate continues to sit on all these jobs bills and legislation that would get america back to work. i'm sick and tired hearing that, well, if the house would just do something. i will tell you something, i would suggest this, the president would wear out his fingers on that phone calling harry reid. his left arm would probably go numb by signing all the legislation that is on his desk right now. what's the roadblock and keeping us from that pathway to prosperity? it is a do-nothing senate. it's a senate that sits back and calls the american people liars and distorts the facts and puts out every day myths about a house of representative

you just try to hold us hostage. that's all it is. >> it's not. >> and what's even worse is, i'm sure customers have heard this. >> and you're just taking from us. you're holding us hostage. >> see, i disagree. thank you, but i disagree. >> let's just bring it down, 'cause i don't know. i don't know where to go from here, dane. >> bye. >> well, that was interesting. hey, thanks for coming. >> hey, how are you? >> good. good. i'm dane. >> nice to meet you. >> yeah, pleasure's mine. >> well, that was interesting. >> yeah, a lot of passion. >> and so what are your thoughts? >> pete and allison are really talented. >> uh-huh. >> but we've never had a plan-- you know, having some type of, you know, profit at the end of the day. >> what is your strong suit? >> i'd say this, business development, sales. we created this pretty large field-trip business. it was all service related. >> did you create the field-trip business? >> i created it with them, to be honest. i mean-- >> yeah. >> if i didn't come in... >> yeah. >> there w

take that much money to send the message out number one to educate the community and number 2 to hold us accountable so once the promises are made they're kept and this general manager has been a part of >> thank you, commissioner well said. >> any other comments from commissioners. i will now call. sir you've been standing there so i'm going to call you up. was that a surprise >> generally they call you out (laughter). >> you know, commissioners, there are 3 very important items here. and we really can't do justice in 3 minutes. on the water supply outlook i'm interested in the tunnel i'm focused on the mountain tunnel layers focused just like i was at the cooling versus damn. under the sewer improvements program as dr. espanola jackson stated clearly do not ever think if you can bring spur and other types of organizations like spur they will come into our community and tell us what's really good for us. they may talk about what's happening in the rest of the city and that's fine and i know what it is because i ran the presidio. so i know what tenants can be brought in the best way. i c

the only thing that holds us back is we don't have enough dentists to treat the number of people. we would treat more people. >> this is not an area that people deal with. it can be a significant barrier. we see 185 to 200 clients. in the dmv area we see 300 to 350. >> it's overwhelming but helpful. there are a lot of people willing to help. >> at cafe connect we have volunteers that work as waiters. everyone who come here experiences a surprise that it's such an easy thing to relate to this group of people. when you are out of the street you ignore them. when you are here you treat them like human beings. people are gratified. >> you give back to people. you give back to our community and it makes the world a little less cruel. >> i heard people in line talking about the donation when they walked out. it was nice to see people come and get the things they want and leave. it's rewarding for our employees to help out. >> the feedback i have gotten from the employees today has been positive. they are encouraged that the fact the city is doing something like this for the homeless. >>

commissioner moran our costs are rising with the cost of inflation about 3 percent a year and in fact you hold us to to a high budget standard to keep costs affordable and what's also included so the rates that you are going to hear from 4 speakers today who have approximately 3 to 8-minute presentations for you will go through what the charter requires and reviewed by an independent rate consultant and and patricia magove r.n. did the independent rate study and next up will be charles pearl will go through the staff proposal what we need to pay for the cost of the water as well as sewer improvements and i should mention the cost is a penny a gallon for water and to make that water clean and to go out to the bay and ocean just over a penny the rates that are presented to you today go from 2 pennies per gallon to less than 3 pennies per gallon over the next 4 years and that's really what this rate package this 4-year rate package helps pay for. in addition to that kevin chang who is the chair of the rate fairness board will report on the hearings he chaired as part of the public process also requi

so even though those criticisms are kind of holding us back now and probably should not and it was right to push the point, i want you to know that this isn't a simple thing. >> thank you. >> good afternoon, my name is jackie flynn, i am the executive director of the a phillip randolph institute san francisco. we serve residents, san francisco residents, that are directly impacted by planning, development and recommendations given by the citizens committee on community development. and i feel that we need community advocates that have experience serving low income neighborhoods, under employed and unemployed residents here in san francisco in order to keep our families here. i am here on behalf of my organization to support both eddie ahn and miguel penn for their appointments to the ccc i feel they will continue to serve our communities impabting hundreds of families in need. thank you. >> good afternoon, my name is jackie chen. we strongly support miguel penn for a seat on the citizen's committee on work force development. as a dedicated professional he has developed work force strateg

i plan on you continuing to hold us accountable and we are committed to working with you and for you and with 88,000 groups and over 7 million members in california. they very much, i appreciate it. >> before you take your seat, any other questions? this is a piece that is somewhat unrelated to the direct topic, but i think that many of us are aware that today the announcement was made from cms regarding the release of physician level data for those recipients of medicare or physicians who practice and accept medicare payment. i would agine that if someone went on the website and looked at that stuff right now it's probably a massive data points. but at some point in time i would imagine that there would be groups like the center for payment reform and others that will start to digest this data and start to bring an interpretation about medical practice. i know there is permanent medical practical and standards and so forth. i would like at a later date how you are going to share with us this form of transparency in the market with your delivering medicine to our members. you don't h

but, that is not, that is not anything that should hold us back, legally. >> and i agree, when it comes to finding, what is in front of us, is there a willful violation, to me it is like a more complicated question because what we are contemplating is making a decision that is not, that, adjudicating the referral that was sent to us and so we have the discretion to find there was a non-willful violation and we don't have to, do we think that the policy reason that they have articulated is important enough that we should have a procedure where you do name the person, at all levels so that they have a chance to make the case at the sunshine ordinance task force, rather than, if, and you know what i am worried about, is if we now, find the violation of mr. ginsburg, and you never have to name the person that you ultimately named to the ethics commission, and at the task force. and so, you kind of never have that mr. ginsburg or whoever the department has or the head is next time never has the chance or may not have the chance to make their case in front of a task force in the future, and s

what is holding us back is probably a degree of uncertainty, a lack of confidence, the fact that a lotcompanies are investing in to themselves more than actually investing in except and in job creations. >> joining us now with more, brenda, achker of bulls and bears. she was probably being diplomatic and polite. 192,000 jobs is in truth, mediocre, don't you have to have roughly 340,000 jobs each and every month just to improve and do that? you really have to do have, what, 3 and 4% economic growth? >> yes, gdp and over the last 12 months, we have averaged about 183,000, which is less than we need to get the faltering economy going. >> people often compare this this to the reagan years and he would say it was a more difficult economic picture, he had run away inflation and interest rates that were sky high, double digit and yet, he was able to create economic growth and create nmore jobs. >> yeah, absolutely. there could not be more two opposite ends of the spectrum. reagan cut regulations, cut taxes. corporate, dividend. income, and obama of course, has done, you know, he has poured a

as the new finance their myspace is in us and that's what holds us but he concedes there's a reason to suppose in the us he did not focus. in another hotel and took any city some good old fashioned street you get a place where his career to add to it. boston misrepresent the truth the locals. martin is a much richer in dublin. for him she is still the party issue his huge issue of servants generally hostile to pay court costs between twenty twenty five percent of the new entrants only took an even worse hit and miss and sent the croke park one agreements did not get them protections against because i didn't attend rte news kilkenny. the only cd has poured into a staff infection planned for jobs the intention of putting a representative government needed to concentrate more on reducing youth unemployment and a large number of long term and pilates. the oecd likes the auction planned approach with its additional targets included in reporting because it organizes and droids policy went across government and state agencies know the mechanism is in place the least he thinks it should concen
