and i want to assure we will be acknowledged. the deputy superintendent carranza's family is here, and we should just take a vote. i am going to be supporting him. >> i do not know. i do not want to jinx the vote. i should charge the board for a finders fee, i think. [laughter] but, realistically, i think it is so exciting for me as a superintendent. i've been a principal at many schools, and one of the hardest things after you leave is what happens after you have worked so hard to create such a beautiful dream, and it can become somewhat nightmares, and it is tough enough to make a decision to retire, but i tell you what made my decision really easy was getting some with richards caliber that can step in, not having to waste a lot of time, and there is always thinking from the perspective of a teacher. and if you look at some of the best school districts in the country, they have one thing in common. they have some continuity, succession planning, it is you cannot change systems. the work is ongoing. it never ends. it is great to

i will be pitching. actually, i will be hitting. she will be pitching. are you ready? ok. go ahead. , no. [laughter] that is not good. all right. i have one strike on me. oh, no. this is horrible. the pressure. oh, i think i struck out. this is not good. [laughter] ok. very good. she can choose different pitches to pitch. that is kind of fun. here is our team. our team is getting ready to take the field. we will be playing each other in a really tough game of baseball. it looks like a nice day over at&t park. let's do this thing. oh, i swung too late. strike one. too early. strike two. oh, no. [laughter] i'm out. this is awful. this is very embarrassing. pitch. yes! what a catch! that was a great catch. our final out in the inning. go ahead. fouled it off. destroyed. uh oh. oh, no. i did not score that inning. i did not even get a hit. now we switch. i am attaching -- pitching. i will throw a fastball right by her. fastball coming, the heater. yes! strike. oh, my gosh. that is crushed. she is going to have an inside the park home run. this is not good. a triple. that is not good. boo

now that nobody is doing any more reading, i will read. no, i think honestly, it is a question of time, but reading, to bring inspiration, but that is the problem. i get into a book and say that i can make a collection of that after, like, three lines. one time i did an existentialist collection years ago, and i was thinking, so i read a book to no more, to get into it, and sometimes, the explanation can teach you. i read about it and i learned and understood. so i did the collection with my interpretation. i tried to understand the base, the concept, so it is good. you have to read, definitely. >> creativity is so difficult to define by creative people because you just do it instinctively. you were telling me that last night, something inspired you, and you went back andrew your next collection until 4:00 a.m. what inspired you? do you know what set it off? >> i think it is image sometimes. one that you do not expect can be also a surprise. it was not the case here today. yesterday during the night, it was more like an image that i have se

i will be honest. i find this report very unsatisfying, because they are simply numbers. we are dealing with people involved, and simply saying we opened x number of cases does not tell anything except what we process cases. four years ago i put in my complaint. i heard absolutely nothing until i got a letter saying not substantiated. goothat was the extent of it. i was asked if i wanted to partake in the arbitration. i said i have some questions here again i said what happened if the arbitration does not go well. i said what is the officer does not show. i said this before, and it seems rather odd he would ask somebody to enter into an arbitration were one of the parties can refuse to come. i really think someone being asked to enter into mediation were the other party has the option of not even participate in, and if they enter into it, that is the end of the process for them, that is an unreasonable position to put a citizen in, and i wonder why anyone would want to enter into mediation under those circumstances. but any further public comment? please call the next ite

i do not see where we get to the requirements or will be met by this. i think we should act tonight. >> thank you. >> thank you. i would be supporting the motion to continue the conditional use. i have been very moved by a lot of testimony i have heard today from neighbors, partners, but it rarely from our partners and labor. it's i want to get there. i am close to being able to support this project. other afford to a discussion part of the early iran zoning on june 4. it is my hope that they will take back some of the feedback they heard. that is from the public and reconsider some of their plans for the development. of like the sponsor to take into consideration the transit goals and the impact of the loss of recreation. we have heard a lot of discussion around that. >> that is where i am. i look forward to continuing this conversation. thank you. >> thank you. it's just a few comments. we have had a lot of testimony today and tonight. i am glad to shorten my comments. there a lot of issues that have been raised on a number of assets from building heig

i was asked if i will be running, and i will not be run in. we are doing out of reach. -- out of reach. we are doing things, trying to reach out to chinese language stations and spanish-language stations to make sure everyone is aware of what is going on in the language they are most accustomed to. the pride of lions -- pride alliance is being recognized. it is available online, and we encourage everyone to look at it. we are proud of it. we did have a situation this afternoon. while looking through some evidence on a cold case, an item was in the case file box. goo5 was put back where it belongs, so what is our procedure for making sure refrigerated evidence is returned in a timely fashion. it is a good idea to make sure we are being a conscientious and the efficient as possible. >> i noticed the homicides were in three hot spots. are we addressing those issues announcenow? is there anything you could tell us about what we are doing in those areas? >> we are analyzing all the data we have for the city to focus our attention on areas where we

i will try to answer a, b, c. for me, i know that the first thing i began to think about when i thought i wanted to write a novel was that i wanted to write about my culture. and because i had grownup in the chinese culture i wanted to write about china. i wanted to find out more about myself because of i was raised in the bay area and because i didn't know culturally a lot of things i wanted to know. i knew i wasn't going to write about myself and knew that i was not going to write about my family. but i wanted to write about an aspect about china and women. those were the 2 things i knew when i began the first book. i was fortunate enough to it stumble upon the silk working women which gave me everything i wanted. it gave me the culture. it gave me a sense of what it meant to be a female chinese women in that time and a sense of empowerment on what they had done. regardless of what they understood they were doing at the time. they didn't know it was a culture that was earning money and living independent of husba

i wanted to say. >> call don. you will review this and incorporate it into the recommendations. >> i also submitted last week part of the process the outreach we did. i just wanted to say it was sent last week. >> i do not remember. >> it was still about ethnic media outreach where a said i listed the publications that we selected, i indicated the circulation to give a picture of the region. >> will you send it back to me again? >> for the purposes of this moment, let's reach agreement on to where it goes. looking on page 4, the first reference to outreach plans. page four, second paragraph. >> that is what she says she has. >> i can resend it. >> in the last paragraph, i am not sure if this -- if it is that relevant. i liked the idea that it is very general and and does not address any specific recommendations other than encourage public precipitation. and the fact that it is not a popularity contest, i do not know who want to mention any of that. stay objective as much as possible. >> you do not want to include that. >>

i will take a look at the operational environment that i anticipate and 2013. and the combination, or aggregation, of those factors will generate an assessment of what u.s. and non-u.s. combat power i will need to continue the process of moving ansf into the lead and giving the support they need so they will be successful. there is no number out there right now. your question is extraordinarily important. i owe that analysis to the chain of command and to the white house. we will make that analysis in the aftermath and the recovery of the troops. thank you, ladies and gentlemen. good to see you again. my pleasure. thank you.

i am willing to support 120%. >> let me propose a question. we have a downpayment assistance loan program. it is for people buying property for the very first time. i am not sure what percentage that is. if that is a place for we could draw the line, if it is 120, i am willing to accept it. if it is 100 -- >> we can find that? -- fund that? >> i see no one here who is willing to confirm that. supervisor wiener: thank you. for future reference, since this amendment was not brought to my attention until the motion was made on the floor, we probably could have confirmed all of that beforehand. not exactly the best way to do legislation. with that said, i do think if we put it at 120 comment that would be -- 120, that would be fine. i cannot imagine a scenario will be will have subsidized housing that is subsidized above 120%. i would feel comfortable if we did it at 120%. that would include the entire moderate income housing. >> 100% right now. until i hear back from the mayor's office, i think that makes a lot of sense. i do not know if there is

i will be voting against this. supervisor olague: to the amendment, there is a part of me that as a little bit torn on this one. understanding of the motivation behind this recommendation, i do hear what supervisor campos is saying about requiring -- about promoting some type of consistency and how these efforts are moved forward. i do feel a little bit torn at this time. i do want to make mention of the fact that this was brought to us -- contrary to the misinformation that was put out there, it was being driven by different things, this is very much about concerns -- i will just read a little bit of this letter. just for the public said so they understand or some of this was coming from. regarding the importance that low-income property owner should have a vote. with protections to ensure they are not squeezed out by new historic rules and regulations and procedures, having mitigated claims in historic districts in pasadena, i have seen the need for community in e historic preservation process. these claims involv

i will share with you that value that i do believe that our youth will inherit a better city and they should. we should create those conditions for that to happen. with all the problems that we have, if i could suggest, we still have to have a city that is fun to live in as well. we will continue trying to make it fun, whether it is entertainment, the things we want, the parks we walk, the school system's we want, while we take on the serious business of providing services at the community level, cultural competence services, services that our hospitals, with the police provide, what our fired apartment provides, or what our schools provide. we will keep an open mind about that. i invite you, if you wish, to join us in the four other district-held town hall meetings before we start making other serious decisions, or approach nor department and the commissions we have. as i said earlier, i need your involvement, your innovation, york investment in every aspect of this, so that next year, at the same time, you feel things have been heard and responded to, and that we are human beings, j

i think the president will be reelected. i think hopefully this polarized miss we are in, somebody will win a victory so we can get on with it. >> so we will have a negative campaign aimed at personalities and attacks. whoever wins will emerge with a mandate? >> if the president puts out the perfect plan to move the country forward tomorrow or paul ryan did, the problem is right now the other side will attack it. i do not see how we get out of it unless the american people actually -- unless somebody puts it out there and the american people swarm to it. >> i agree that if anyone laid out a plan both sides woul swarm it. that is because it has been polluted by three and a half years of this president stiff arm in his opposition. the president needs to set the tone. we got elected in a contentious election in 2000. we did not come in with a wave of enthusiasm and good will obama came in. by june of 2001 we passed bush tax cuts with a quarter of the democrats voting for it. we did it by negotiating with it. this president had t

i will have to worry about getting back, but getting here was pretty smooth. a special thanks to markets for guiding us safely -- marcus for guiding us safely. i wanted to mention that we are very committed to seeing the panhandle extension happen this fall, hopefully. i am saying that loud so we can keep our ears open. also, i believe it is sunday street closures long overdue. our office is committed to seeing that happen soon also. we're lucky in district 5, people from the mta were with us. people from the bike coalition. it is a wonderful district and we have cyclist's that are very devoted to the cause. we would like to see the panhandle extension happened this fall, breaking ground. and sunday street closures is the thing we are not next committed to seeing happen. -- we'renext thing we are commid to seein happen. >> good morning, my name is carmen chu, i came all the way out from the sun set district. -- sunset district. we went down jfk, the beautiful roadway that was wonderful to see that happen. i think the feeling that i got was not only waking up re

supervisor avalos: i will withdraw my first amendment. >> i will withdraw my amendment and the new amendment would be in that same section, it will read for applications pertaining within historic districts that are receiving a direct financial contribution from local, state, or federal sources for the purpose of providing subsidized for sale unit to residents earning 120%. all rental housing units for residents earning 100% ami and below. there are two different measurements that we are using. i think it might be consistent with our down payment program. >> colleagues, to the amendment to the amendment. supervisor wiener: i think if we are going to do this, whether they are a renter or property owner, it should be 120% of ami. it is unclear to me why we would do otherwise. i have a point of information for the maker of the motion. the amendment i indicated about 80% of the units subsidized, that was to avoid the situation where you have a 20-unit project and one unit is subsidized. to make sure that a large majority of the units are subsidized. that is not inconsistent with the amendment th

i will call out the speaker cards that i have.have the former director of the mayor's office on disability. >> good afternoon. i am speaking as a private citizen but a person with a disability that has a longstanding history for working on this. i have known christina for several years. through the bay area of the disabled sailors, and the boaters to work on the america's cup. i strongly endorse her candidacy here. i find her to be not just smart but thoughtful. she is not just a leader but an organizer. she is able to be a spokesperson for the disability community but does not presume to speak for everyone until she has spoken to the people. she is someone who has worked in many different contexts with many different type of people with disabilities. i also think that it is important, the questions you have asked are important to go to the issue that she is not as a candidate to represent the disability community, she would have responsibility in terms of governance. i think she would be a very appropriate and a good candidate. s

chairman. >> senator warner. >> i will try to be very brief. one thing i would point out is fifty-five% owned by federal government. we have a bipartisan bill to try to do a spectrum inventory. we won't know how we can reallocate federal partners unless we have full inventory. we have some parts full back on that. it is essential to us talking about the spectrum inventory build. it is an important step to move forward. i have been concerned with the approach on government spectrum about spectrum sharing as opposed to full relocation. experimental licenses with the private-sector that might allow a more efficient use of spectrum sharing. >> spectrum sharing is an important opportunity. it shouldn't be thought of as eliminating the need for reallocation of government spectrum used by government. in some cases it may be more effective to have sharing, a license but particular areas around the country where it is expensive to move so t mobile with support of the wireless industry filed application to conduct tests around the military base and workin

i will be contacting north texas state representative and sending in a check. >> i am looking forward to the 3:00. >> good luck, you were really fired up today. >> we will now come to order. i guess come to order or the magic words. -- were the magic words. based on the prior motion that was passed to dispense with the reading of the vote totals from each of the chairs, we will put the vote on the screen for everybody to see. [applause] [unintelligible] we are going to let chairman gray speak for a couple of minutes. >> thank you. you will never regret this. i have never been so excited about anything i can think of. the work is now beginning. we have the very best candidate i can think of to lead this ticket, and i will do my part as well. let me tell you my strategy. we need everybody in this room to take this election personally. we need you to get our information to pass it around to your circle of friends. tell them to take it personally as well. when that happens, we will start polling. we are now about 7% with gov. johnson. we will start calling around 18%. you know what happen

i will mention another. we have seven states reporting they will forgo 60,000 jobs this construction season because of the temporary nature of the extension. they cannot plan beyond that for federal funds. if we can successfully conclude the conference quickly, we can look forward to restoring jobs in those seven states. i am sure the numbers for all of the states would be released 100,000 jobs for gone. it is steel, manufacturing, transit vehicles, things that go into them. these are sophisticated jobs. these are jobs we need in construction, manufacturing, and other areas. i have some sense of urgency about passing the legislation. the legislation as reported by the senate has funding for the secure rural schools. that is critical in my part of the world and across the united states for many states that have a significant federal land holdings. the harbor maintenance trust fund, i have advocated for years we spend the money collected for harbor maintenance on the harbor maintenance and improvement activitie

i will give to the parents. you know the problem. if everyone could listen to the parents, we will be successful there. if you allow west to put in place who we want, and it does not work out, then you can say we tried it your way. now we are going to do it our way. thank you. >> i would like to ask the board for some permission sure if this is my fault. i had the privilege of listening to a young senior student on monday when he was graduating. he did this knock out poem. i was so impressed i was hoping that if i were to ask, even though he just graduated on monday, that he would come here and recite his poem. i was hoping to have him early on when we were doing the superintendent's sought, but he was sitting in the back and a trauma. the light is in your face. -- from up here the light is in your face. his name is nicholas smith. he is a former student and he graduated on monday and i was there and he gave a poem that he wrote, "my race is extraordinary." if you do not mind giving him a moment to recite his poem, i would love him to

i will give uh few phone numbers. don't feel like -- if you break up with somebody if they cheated on you it is goodbye and good ridden and see you later. >> we know nothing about this couple, but it can't stop us from having an opinion. >> absolutely. we have to fill the time and talk about this just like incidentally the policeman who was interviewed and he said, you know, they have nothing to say. it is just the woman went crazy. you are allowed to paint the car if it is yours. she painted "cheater" on a car that was not hers. it belonged to her husband. >> it is community property though. >> but it means i can paint "cheater" on my own car and it makes people think i am in an angry, angry relationship which is cool when you are boring. have you ever reacted badly to the end of a relationship? >> oh god, always. usually in a water tower with a rifle. this guy got off easy. >> why is it always about stuff? they always end up cutting clothes and guys steel things and women destroy things. what is it about the stuff an

i will be happy to do that. yes? this gentleman. he has the microphone and we'll go back to you. >> if i am correct, there has been a bilateral investment treaty negotiated and agreed to by both the russian government and the united states government but not ratified. if i'm -- if that's true, is that not true? >> no. >> i would like to know the status. >> i will repeat. i will answer very briefly. we have been offering to our american colleagues the idea of sitting together and developing this agreement because absence of such agreement is big handicap for development of long-term relations. and the american colleagues was that they were rethinking the strategic approach to that kind of agreement not supplied to russia but most probably as applied to the rest of the world. my sense is that our american colleagues are now a little bit more ready to engage and we are looking forward to that. >> we should have a bilateral investment treaty and negotiations and the administration just finally came up with its model that so maybe we can

we will get very deliberate. i think it will save lives. it will create a culture where everybody has to respect each other's views of the road. >> you alluded to the former mayor who said he would solve the muni problem in 100 days. he will not make that mistake, but what will you do to fix it? >> i meet regularly with mta. i have sessions with their board members as well. one is to make sure they pay very serious attention to their economics, that they build reserves to spend money on their assets, the trains, cars, and trucks. they do not have labour practices that are not efficient and keep every example of excessive and abusive things, that they take care of it. these are simple ways of how you run a corporation. you do not allow bad things to happen or get out of control. the new have balance sheets. you have to go through the discipline. -- then you have balance sheets. you have to go through the discipline. it sounds overly simple. you can imagine how we got out of what -- whack for some many years. the trains and trucks were not in

i will show a sign that will reinforce that. this is where seniors in san francisco live base in the 2010 census. they are really spread all over the city. particularly the chinatown area. one of the things i want to point out is this issue of isolation which is not confined to one demographic or one in income growth. off -- if this was to show the proportion of seniors, then west portal. it is not these issues of isolation. these are not just confined to low income persons, they affect all seniors in san francisco. this is the slide that addresses your concerns. you will see that san francisco has twice the number of recipients. this goes to the issue of requiring public sector support. >> in your age immigration, he spoke of the 20 years with the growth and reduction different populations have been. will we see the same growth in these areas? >> well, if your demographics are somewhat fluid. if i had put it this 2000 census up there, it would have been at the height of the dot com bauble. we typically see increases among older

and i presume a doctoral degree that you will wrap up this summer? knock on wood. i have just gotten to know you and to meet you, but your reputation precedes you. you are obviously beloved in our community and on behalf of everyone here, i want to wish you all the best. you are moving on with your family, and you will the mets. i think you on behalf of everyone here. thank you so much for your commitment. >> i feel quite ought to be in the company of gordon and anne. and what effect the educators, we are appreciative of the attention that we get. we appreciate the relationship we have been able to develop with all of you. i am going to miss the city and the weather a lot. it is hot in texas. it is a blessing to be here and now all of the gunmen in stuart hall -- young men in stuart hall high school and all those incredibly dedicated teachers there. supervisor farrell: lastly and certainly not least, sister anne walker. sister ann walker is currently the head of convent elementary in san francisco. she graduated from st. mary's college of notre dame, the university

of course, i will do that. if i may i will reflect on it, and prepare a written statement, but i was also reflecting on the experience of setting up the parliamentary standards of the authority which i felt was a need to do, and that has been a very interesting institution, because here is a body which is, has considerable power over the members of parliament which is the parliament of the land, itself, and to begin with, it caused conflict and friction between the members of the house of commons and this body, but it sort of gradually settled down, and there are mechanisms there by which the members of the authority and the five members are appointed at arm's length from the people of the house of commons and it works, so of course, i will -- >> well, there are a couple of things that you have agreed to look at. and i'm very grateful. let me just ask one further question if i might, really picking up on something that lord hunt said which lord wakem agreed with. >> and the lord chairman of the ppc at the moment

i think he will be sorely missed. and the mayor has asked any who have run for office to step down, even in the way commissioner garcia has as it has been quite graceful. he recognizes that he serves the mayor at his pleasure. this is precisely the character that i want to salute. mike garcia has service commission with great honor for the last eight years. prior to that, he wasn't ethics commissioner, so be served two years, and we are talking about 10 years that he has served, pro bono. every wednesday for 10 years. commissioner garcia, i want to thank you as a member of the structural engineering committee. thank you. president garcia: thank you. director goldstein: is there any other public comment under this item? seeing none, we will move on to item number two, which is commissioner comments and questions. commissioner garcia: anyone watching this will know that i will have some comments. thank you. those were kind words, but i will take issue with one thing you said, and that is that i have done this pro bono.

i will not repeat the point i made earlier. there were some things that the public said that came to remind me that there are some very important issues that were not well-addressed in the eir. the northeastern waterfront study is cited liberally as a basis for recommendations and decisions. as if it were, in fact, a regulatory document. for example, it is the reason for narrowing drum st. this stands in stark contrast to what the city has been arguing in another lawsuit, which is filed by the telegraph hill dwellers, among others. it is the northeastern embarcadero study, not regulatory, has no force, is merely suggestive. that is contrary to the manner in which the planning department and planning commission have treated the northeastern and marketer of study. the question is, which is accurate? is it a rule, a regulation, or is it not? it is inadequate to be addressed in the eir and. because what position taken by the city attorney in another case. secondly, on traffic. in particular, the feir assumes that a provision of tha

i will let you know as soon as i can win at the start date of that change of room and day and time will occur. thankfully, i have nothing to report on corrective action. >> on the promoter thing, it is extremely easy. i did it. if i can do it, it is super easy. the other thing about 416, isn't that where we started off? on the first and third tuesdays? >> that is correct. >> if i may. i wanted to make sure that i get at least one month's notice because i have a lot of rearranging to do. i am sure there will be fine with it, but i need one month to make sure i notify them. >> not a problem. >> i understand joycelyn is going to buy two tables. [laughter] all right, vaj, you are on. >> i will also keep this short period in your binders, you will see a basic report that you're used to seeing from me. nothing -- there are a few high notes that i will cover really quickly. one, we had a discharge of a firearm outside of noble on 600 polk st. no one was hurt. we are looking into that matter both with reports from the club and sfpd. it looks like there was an altercation outside. there is still

i will not speak about what i was supposed to speak on, but i will speak about the process. i am listening to the deliberations that the planning commission. i have listened to the deliberations that small business. they demanded gray areas where they were taking place. when this came before this committee, the questions asked are very, very confusing. i would say that if one of you chooses to do something like this, you actually have a point that should be distributed to all the supervisors. this concerns every district, even though the ones not based in chinatown cannot be grandfathered in. secondly, it is the responsibility of representatives to do some focused outreach, ok? we have budget associations that work, because all of a sudden they take. they work with representatives. the representatives get everything done at this rate. you are a representative because you are supposed to represent. you have to do some outreach and i am suggesting that the smart business commission, or the planning commission, should be doing that. now, in some of the district we need to stop c

i will start with mary. >> thank you. i thought all this testimony from the community speakers was incredibly moving and shows a wide range of issues that really has to be addressed. i guess i slipped into my pragmatic mode at some point and try to figure out what the calculation is, basically in terms of what the market will bear. it is clear, political pressure from around the country is often what helps to determine that, but we can also tell by watching how things develop, that there are forces impinging on what will actually get accomplished. i think the critical thing is to remember there are two ways that we can influence what the government does. there is the legislative, cir approach, and there is the administrative reform. some of which does not require legislation. some of the stories we were hearing, particularly from the business perspective, is about changing the way people do business, in terms of the government, changing the way we think about the relationships that exist. a lot of that can be done by press

i think we are completely ready for it. we will have people there for a few days to make sure it is working smoothly. the 11th. -- june 11. i hope all of you will be in town to receive the feedback on it. >> thank you. >> item 12 f, updates on other technology projects. >> we are trying to focus on the web. we did implement the 3r payment on may 2. we have about 25% of the total requests coming to that. we did have a glitch yesterday with the payment processing. it is used throughout the city for automated payments. we will have a significant amount of refund requests because the system did not work well. but that is not something we can control. that is the first time that has happened. we called the information technology and equipment room, -- we call it the information technology and equipment from, that is brewing -- that is going pretty well. i have to get the final approval by the department of technology on the equipment. have theyquote to do -- we have a quote to do the construction. i have been collecting money from a cou

i will not buy you any notebooks. i repeat no notebooks. but i will send you decals that are not to be placed in my room, around my room or on the window of my car. >> okay. who was this guy? and why did you set out to tell this story? >> this guy was my fantastic, magnet, bossy, difficult, older brother carl. he was the red state to my blue state. all you have to understand to know about how complicated and difficult this relationship was my first memory of my brother was with when he sail me out a window when i was 2 years old and in the san antonio emergency room with a cut on my eye brow. he gave me the gift of a hard head. he went from there to being the youngest member of the john berk society and coming into my room to smash my joan biaz records because she was on the list. he was complicated, but saying all of that he was mysterious. he grew up to be a trial lawyer turned apple orchardist. part of the madening sibling thing was understanding the control freak nature that my brother had. for example, every year he would send me a box

you will hear patterns and they will be repeated often 3 times this is a t high. i want you to try to listen for the patterns and see if you can figure out the number patterns. you will see a justure called salon. you remember the greeting namatse? >> good. salom is the muslim greeting. you take your right hand, say a salom. it's a muslim greeting and you will see the dancers say this and it means peace be with you and the king and to all of you this is taught.

i don'ti hope we can work with . you will be coming back to us in june with some amendments given labor negotiations among other things. i do want to speak further about that. i question the logic of implemented meters without yet having the upgrades. it seems more reasonable to have the upgraded meters, which you are in the process of doing, before implementation. i would like to talk about that component. another thing quickly. you went through this quickly. with regards to the back door boarding proposal, this is something, i am wondering, in terms of your budget, how does that policy impact your budget? did you assume a lower rate of revenue or assume higher enforcement? can you speak to that quickly, unless there is a slide later on? >> i am happy to speak to it now. the direct cost -- well, let me put it this way, we are proposing to add more fare inspectors as part of the budget. that is about $900,000 cost to the that is something that probably would have proposed even without that. but we do need better fare inspecti
