kim began probing robert's quirks.hen did he start confiding in you, kim, that he wasn't just a used car salesman, but that he was a secret agent? >> he started telling me in little bits and pieces about undercover investigative police work for the government. >> james bond-type stuff? >> some of it was terrorism. some of it was crime rings. it's not like he sat me down and said, oh, by the way, i'm a spy. it seemed like very difficult, gritty, unpleasant work. >> kim grew closer to robert the man of secrets despite her promise to herself that she wasn't going to get involved in a heavy relationship, not right then. so when did all of this change? >> i really started to realize that i was falling in love with him. >> against all of your rational wishes? >> absolutely. >> robert moved in with kim. >> he was charming, absolutely charming, very complimentary to my daughter. >> kim's mom, ann, a teacher back in phoenix, wanted to meet her daughter's interesting new boyfriend, so she flew over to london. you could see the a

supervisor kim: ok. the one good thing is that in july, we discover that we do know the number of beds ago vacant every night. our data system is available to collect that information. we did get that information in july. it would be great to get a continuation of the number of beds. because that was the issue that brought about the discussion in july, how many beds they did that night given the number of people that request reservations. i am curious as to why we cannot follow the number of clients getting reservations when it is all within the computer system. everyone has to sign up via computer and a resource center. it is not clear to me why we cannot figure out how to do that. >> individuals have to changes in the record system. but we do not track -- we cannot track requests in that system. that only tracks and actual reservation. so a person approach of the reservations station and requests any shelter bed or maybe a particular shelter, there is nothing in our data base that lets us know that thi

supervisor kim: thank you. >> we have been talking to supervisor of jane kim. watch for the next episode when we will be back. >> about four years ago, [inaudible] look at how beautiful this was. there is our relationship to the planet. these regions are the wealthiest, the most powerful. that really has impacted the planet. it is almost impossible now to go anywhere and had it really be completely dark. there are very few locations that you can find. that means our relationship to the sky, there is a way where we dominate the sky. we cannot see anything really. we are blinding ourselves in a way. >> you can look at the images, they are beautiful. when i started four years ago, there was a conversation about environmental issues that was very different. this is not being talked about in

supervisor kim: i want kim: -- i want to thank supervisor kim for raising the discussion. the two have nothing to do with each other. if we have a part of ordinance that all we can tell is patently unconstitutional, i don't like that it is. i think the supreme court was wrong, but they've ruled we should repeal it. i will

supervisor kim: i want kim: -- i want to thank supervisor kim for raising the discussion. the two have nothing to do with each other. if we have a part of ordinance that all we can tell is patently unconstitutional, i don't like that it is. i think the supreme court was wrong, but they've ruled we should repeal it. i will not open ourselves up to a lawsuit that we'll move. we have a duty to do that, in my view. i have not heard any argument about why we should not do that. i would like to take this opportunity to make another change that might be appropriate, but it does not even give any leverage. it is not likely had a chance -- maybe someone disagrees -- of doing well in a lawsuit. we have good representation and would do as well as we could do. but i do not see why we would not pass this ordinance, eliminate the litigation risk, and then move forward with any other appropriate changes to public financing. supervisor farrell: first of all, if the legislation is as advertised, to piggyback a little bit on what supervisor elsbernd is saying -- if we are only raising taxes

supervisor kim is correct. the folks that benefit or could potentially benefit from public financing are the ones that could advocate on behalf of those that need the most advocating. but, again, we are talking about a simple constitutional issue. we are out of compliance. public financing. two separate issues that should not become an old or brought together. we need to vote -- that should not be combing gold -- be comingled or brought together. we need to vote and come into compliance, and then talk about a public financing structure. today, i hope i have articulated -- maybe i have not. but i want to make sure we drive home the point it is not to coaming goal -- it is not to mingle two separate issues. one is not necessary to the other. our counsil has advised us. supervisors kim, weiner, campos, farrell, chiu, and elsbernd are graduates from law school. six attorneys. president chiu: do not forget eric. supervisor cohen: supervisor mar is an attorney. you would think they would understand the importance of

supervisor kim: thank you. supervisor mirkarimi: i would like to second the comments from supervisor camp. -- kim. anecdotally, as the state is lessening its obligation and deflecting more into local government that much more, and i chair public safety, and we are trying to figure out what kind of population we are dealing with. we never get very accurate numbers. really, what is that population? between law enforcement and city government, they seem to have conferred that we would have stepped up our game. that reality is going to grow. especially with the alignment starting this week. can you expelled on that? i am beginning to try to figure out how to enable. >> you are absolutely right. when questions are posed on the data, it is very challenging. that is where the coordinated case management system is in dire need of support. actually able to attract clients through systems. that does not include the criminal-justice system. the chief, and her wonderful work, we have several partnerships under way. given t

what i believe supervisor kim is proposing -- i am not sure it is the answer. but i do think it needs to be vetted with a lot of the designers of our public financing program, with whom i worked to find an amendment to harmonize with the board of supervisors was going to do with the mayor's program back in 2007. there has been a process i feel comfortable with. i do appreciate your bringing this forward, supervisor farrell, to answer the challenges from the supreme court decision, but i will be voting against the amendment, looking for a new version. supervisor kim's is probably a start, and we will be able to assess a new path for the future. supervisor kim: i want to respond to some of the new comments that were made. this was a novel part of the

supervisor kim: i appreciate the motion. i actually looked at mr. st. croix to see if that would be enough time. supervisor elsbernd: i will just withdraw and hope you can come up with something on your own. president chiu: is there a motion to rescind? i would certainly make one, but i want to -- where are we? supervisor elsbernd, have you withdraw your motion? i am sure the naysayers know what they're doing. i will leave it to them. supervisor wiener: we all know this will not be fixed in two or three weeks. it has to go through the ethics process, through the committee, through this board. it is a lengthy process and not something you're going to want to rush. you want to do it the right way. supervisor elsbernd: supervisor mirkarimi was not here. there were only three people who voted no. perhaps supervisor mirkarimi will vote yes. if he votes yes, we will not have to have this, so i vote to continue it for one week. president chiu: i have one question for our attorney. could be a menace to include other aspects of the public financing? or does anyt
