what would they do if city college close e what would we all do if city college was gone? thanks. (applause) ~ >>> hi, my name is patty chung [speaker not understood] i'm a city college counselor with city college of san francisco. i'd like to thank you for holding this hearing today. first of all, i want to let you know my dad attended college city college of san francisco in 1951. it was because of city college he was able to learn english, find a union job and support his family. if it wasn't for city college of san francisco, i don't know where i'd be right now. but i am a counselor with my advance degree so i am city college. the other -- i wasn't planning on speaking today, but i really wanted to get up here and share with you something that i found very distressful. i think it was like the second semester when our interim chancellor was at our college. it was a staff development day and all of us were called in to a huge auditorium and we had a speaker that sang the praises of university of phoenix. and we were told that we needed to offer more classes like them, online cla

so, the only access they'll have is city college. and if we remain true in our commitment and our goal that we really want to do everything we can to tackle recidivism, then city college in my opinion is the strategy where that next step has frankly been denied so far. so, i look forward to working with certainly the city college community, the board of supervisors, and i think it's time the criminal justice system be more vocal in this discussion of us vigorously defend and vigorously bolster city college stations in san francisco. thank you. >> thank you. (applause) >> thank you, sheriff mirkarimi. >>> hi, my name is [speaker not understood] wallace, i'm an esl teacher at the [speaker not understood] city college three blocks away at eddy street. malia cohen, thank you for sponsoring this. i was one of the teachers that came to speak with you in your office in march and we really, really appreciate the unanimous resolution that the board of supervisors passed in support of ccsf. i was a student at city college in the '80s. i did my studen

my brother is also starting city college in the fall and won't be able to if city college closes, won't be able to achieve what he wants to do, and he wants to study law. i've been humbled by my experiences at city college and it's nothing like what my high school teachers and media have told me. i regret [speaker not understood] many of my [speaker not understood] as they will not transfer out in time because time is of the essence to study and be the most successful student and i guess i'm out of time. thank you. (applause) >> thank you. >>> my name is dawn moore. i'm alumni and current student is the ccsf. the accjc commission members did not reveal their hearts, goals, connectionses and how they got their position. but accjc wants to close ccsf or reduce ccsf in spite of ccsf, san francisco's people and our elected board. accjc statements that ccsf would and then they could and then they would lose accreditation and, therefore, our enrollment stopped rising. and it's worked at compton junior college and they used that as proof because they didn't have an elected board any more, they

if all these students -- if city college closes, there are students [speaker not understood]. there are second chance students, ex offenders, [speaker not understood] based on their income. if all of these students lose the opportunity to attend city college of san francisco, their surrounding community colleges in the bay area will also have a limit, a cap on the number of students it can serve. mostly unlikely it will be able to attend another community college in the area. so, what would happen to san francisco with an additional 1500 students, ex offenders, low-income students, [speaker not understood] who cannot go to college, lose fund to begin with. and secondly, san francisco will have additional costs in providing service for these students as well as possibly crime will go up. in some cases we hope not. i strongly support what you're doing. thank you very much for having this hearing, but it's really important to you as elected officials do a little extra, if you can, to try to save city college. thank you very much. (applause) >> thank you. next speaker, please. >>>

if the city were to sift million dollars it could take between 6 and 19 years to be absorbed if the marketplace. about 2 dozens of those projects like new york city and seattle and washington most of them go beyond have other areas of focus such as a affordable housing and open space speaker san francisco's program is very unique in that it allows any third party developers or investor to own t dr without it having to be connected with the ultimate your. there's seven hundred thousand or 1.6 t dr that's been transferred off the parcel but not been used. that's been noted i think as a positive in the reviews of t dr programs. there isn't the program to go from yours to developer speaker and sifting t dr month jurisdictions track t dr through documents. in terms of pricing there's quite a few a variety. to increase the fdr in some cities you have programs that compete with t dr like other payments and in places where you have those people take the lowest cost options. in new york city due to the complainants t dr can become expensive it's about 25 percent of land value and the prices go as high a

department at city college and i am the point person for the 100,000 member san francisco labor consult at the college. i want to especially address supervisor cohen. it is our hope that if we survive, we can build on the successful city build program which as you know is bringing in people of color with the skilled building trades. which is something i've been working on a long time. trustee chris jackson and greer which is to bring a retail hospitality cohort to the neighborhood comparable, but creating more job opportunities, even than the city build program. they'll have time to work on that now because it's all about survival. hopefully we will survive. i just want to say that from the point of view of the labor movement, the question is is this a just authority on an unjust authority that's represented by the accjc. and when you feel that while there is valued criticism of the college in general, it's just unjust. it is as if the mayor's office came in and said you are all deposed, you cannot represent your constituents. we lost our democratic voice, our board of trustees. we have an agency that is -- lacks transparency, lacks accountability. rumors fly because we

the city does approve it, then that issue moves forward to the city council. if the city council approves it, then the residents here have six months to find a new place to live. reporting live in palo alto, marianne favro, nbc bay area news. >>> new at 5:00, one day before the gold club's planned opening in downtown san jose, the city council rules committee will consider new rules for the gentleman's club. doors on west santa clara street on august 8th. on august 7th, a city councilman will ask the rules committee to consider making adult entertainment establishments pay a public safety fee to cover the increase in crime he says will follow the bikini bar. he also proposes a no-touching rule, brighter lighting inside and an earlier closing time. >> there's a lot of guys walking around with cash. they're often distracted. we see dancers who are often underage. we see all kinds of issues relating to sexual battery. so by doing what we can to try to reduce those harms, i'm hoping at least we can avoid what we have seen in other cities. >> he says the city of san j

if we don't? >> i'm not at this point to prepared to provide advice on litigation or liability of the city if we don't meet the charter obligation or obligations under federal and state law. >> i assume is exposed to by members who are not exposed to the rate at this time. >> if the city fails to meet it's obligations city employees might take some action in that regard. >> okay. >> any further questions. >> any further questions? >> thank you for your presentation. >> do you have anything else at this point in time? if there is anything you want to respond to. hue wit is here. she's done a tremendous amount of work i believe on a continual basis and procedurally can answer questions about your process. do you have questions, colleagues? >> any questions? i have prepared a report. in redoing my packet, is there anything that you would like reviewed by the budget analyst. >> i guess, two things. one, i imagine you do this work for other municipalities, can you comment on the rate trends that we've seen in the county of san francisco since miss dodd has taken over in the last few years and how we are do

city college. he poke at that. if we can get an update from the mayor's office as well what the mayor's office is doing. ~ spoke at that there have been questions about the accrediting commission, and the role the accrediting commission ha played. [speaker not understood] are here to discuss that. ~ has played i think that is a strategy the city needs to take on about whether we should question the crediting commission and the recommendations and [speaker not understood]. we'll probably hear from both sides from that question. there are people who have been involved in struggles for city college for years and trying to make city college legitimate institution. at times, the changes that are being forced, it is important to be accredited and opening and make the change people want to see. we'll be hearing from people talking about that today as well. there are great concerns -- i'm sorry, the murmuring in the room is really distracting. if we can keep our voices down, close the door, i would appreciate it. is the door

beyond oakland but i want to make sure we're pushing the edge to insure we have a city that moves forward. i want to ask if our city building manager rob can come up. thank you for being here i know you have a lot of work to do. >> i'm with the building management and security systems. i want to give you an update. since the last time, we talked the hardware is expected within three to four weeks we should have that in the first week of august and that will be four monitors two at the ground floor entrance and two one at each main level. those touch panels will be here first, the the programming we're working on that at this point instead of doing the website as originally planned we've partnered with e t and go through software recessions and those should be helpful. our timelines we're planning at this point to go live by the end of august. if there are no other questions president chiu. i want to make a quick comment you, you know, this topic has come up and i think itself fair to say that we've having had other discussions i'm pleased in the next month this is actually going to happen. colleagues we ha

and we do have four or five examples of cities' restitution formulas. if anybody is interested they can see me afterwards and i can give you what other cities have used. >> awesome. are you all right? why don't you hold the mic until you don't need it any more. we have another question over here. >> this is for the san francisco crew. how important was your task force, elevate the issue of graffiti abatement in san francisco? >> i think one of the main reasons why it was elevated is -- and it's been continued to be elevated. the current mayor was actually the director of public works and he saw that graffiti was a serious problem. and, so, it's become more and more prevalent and the board of supervisors has also taken it on. i think they also recognize that the graffiti brings blight to the neighborhood. and, so, it hasn't been hard to get the support. and just like we're all here, as you saw yesterday, the city leaders are all on board with this. so, that helps a lot. if you can get your city leaders to buy in that it's an actual problem, your chances of

city attorney said in my mind. and i think that issue comes more to a head if we disagree with what a city attorney said. well, i was going on commission renne when he was saying that we could educate the commission. in that part of the education would be, it is not required but it is strongly recommended that you would get a written opinion from the city attorney to provide to the requestor of the rm i don't know if it means anything and, i don't know if the word of mouth is better or worse or a written determination is better or worse. because there is that and there is the when that is happened and then the when is what is certified here and you told me only when i asked. you did not actually... and there were a series of procedures that were not followed. but would that... would getting a written sbons have triggered the rest of the procedures to be followed was my question and in which case you would less en, if not mitigate the violations. >> there is a ten day window in responding getting a written opinion from the city attorney does not... >> i am in favor of the motion. i do think that it would

we want it somewhere else and if i moved throughout the city i find service very spotty. but certify could be better. so whether we can have better cell sites let's make it possible. if every cell tower was subject 80 to this nobody 0 would want a cell tower near them. so i'm al for flood prevention and safety but i hope you can approve this authorization. thank you >> thank you. next speaker, please. >> i'm a san francisco resident and local small business owners. i've been working on the flood issues and in the company nearly 40. i'm available to answer any questions about the packets and the you understand that were addressed on the map. i believe the gentleman very adequately described the sewer as having back flows and i also want to point out that the language between curb and gutter got misunderstand by the reviewer of my t m. it talks about the sewer remittance that they be designed to carry the load from curb to curb. in a one hundred year storm it wouldn't exceed the location and the batteries would be well on behalf of curb height. and the maximum flood would be

. >> wal-mart is threatening to pull out of the district if city leaders pass the living wage bill that requires large retailers to pay their workers at least $5 an hour more than the minimum wage. >> today the big-box store announced if it passes they will pull the plans in the district. >> it's frustrating we worked so hard to get retailers to come into especially a district where they don't have a lot of options so we work really hard to get wal-mart to come and that was going to be an anchor to encourage more retail to come so it's very frustrating. >> wal-mart says it may opt-out of three other stores already under construction in the city. >> well still ahead on the news edge at 11:00 a human skull found on a public golf course. the latest on the search for clues in this murder mystery. >> and a health alert tonight. why some people who use indoor tan nurse and have been diagnosed with skin cancer never give up the deadly edition -- edition. -- addiction. >>  tonight in florida police want to know who the skull belongs to. they found a human skull in

city college. that won't be happening. that's not a likely outcome i'm told. >> so what happens if it does -- if city college of san francisco does lose its accreditation? what happens to the 90,000 students? that's a lot of students. >> it's a ton of students. and, you know, yesterday i met with bryce harris, who is the state chancellor for this. and he had no idea. he said, there will not be a college for these students to go to. >> he said he is working really hard. the state is working really hard to try to save the school. that is not what they hope will happen. >> is there anything in the state budget surplus that could come to the aid of this -- really i mean 75,000 students, this is not some insignificant part of the educational system of california. is there anything in the state budget surplus that could be brought to bear on this or is this just they're on their own? >> it is not a question of how much money although if they had all the money in the world it might not be a problem. it is money management. to give you an example, 125 people at city college have access to the payroll computer. so you can go in if yo
