commission president kim brandon. where is kim? so kim brandon -- [applause] -- kim brandon unlike any of the giants players or bruce, did precede this project. i did a fact check, because i don't want fake news, 20 years on the san francisco port commission, looking at the progress and what happened to the port through her two decades of service. thank you, kim. and and finally the city leadership. a heart felt thank you to jane kim who authored the legislation and has taken a personal interest in this project from day one. huge thanks to board president london breed for her long time support of mission rock and keeping us on track during crucial moments. thank you to david chiu for spear heading the state legislation that allowed us to do the project. and finally, i want to acknowledge our friend, our late mayor ed lee. very bittersweet here without him. one of the project's biggest supporters, with us from day one. we are eternally grateful for his leadership and support and we miss him every day. thank you, mayor farrell for ma

kim? >> vice president brandon: thank you, supervisor yee. i did first introduce the supplemental appropriation in january , and so how it now, i early april, so i think it is a valid question how we can spend 2.5 million over the next three months or, you know, can we slightly reduce that amount and be sure that we cover the increase in next year's fifrk will increase budget. my guess is that public works can probably spend unlimited sums of money to clean our streets, but i will reserve that question for the department. >> supervisor kim, bruce robertson, public works, no, we could not spend 2.5 million between now and the end of the fiscal year. what we can do is request a supplemental for additional equipment, as well as we can make sure we get our nonprofit on board to provide services in the tenderloin, and then we can begin the hiring process. and as department director stringer mentioned, we have gotten a lot more nimble in hiring the 16 positions, but it would not expedite the $1.6 million for staff, so the short answer is no. >> and

kim? >> vice president brandon: i just want to reiterate to the board in a 9-1 vote, in 2014, we allocated 1.3 million to the homeless outreach team. homelessness is always a crisis. this board voted 9-1 to pass that supplemental appropriation. and we did not know if that money would become permanent three months later, and yet we did it because we thought that it was such a crisis on our streets that we need to expand the number of workers and mental health outreach workers that were addressing homelessness. so again, this very board, many, many, many members who were there in that year voted that in april of 2014, to expand our homeless program, without any guarantee that we would keep those jobs permanent. now mr. stringer, i have to ask realistically what is the likelihood that these positions will remain permanent? >> you mean transition into permanent jobs? >> supervisor kim: transition into termnent. >> realistically, probably 50% may transition. that might be the best case scenario. i think i would have to consult with my budget manager to determine what we could support or transit

president breed, london breed, board member jane kim, senator scott wiener, and of course assembly member chiu was our chair. it was a dream for president brandon and me because all of the leaders were really full in on the seawall project, really understood the importance of it, the importance of safety in the waterfront, the dual threat of earthquake and sea level rise. it was a real opportunity for us to observe how well we've been doing in our outreach in getting the message out and how much leadership in san francisco and at the state level is behind our project. >> also, administrator naomi kelley joined us, and it was a great event. and we also had our contract opportunities open house, which was a huge success. we have a large turn out. a lot of new faces, and a lot of interest in most of the important projects that are going on, and then, we saw a presentation by pier 70 who has partnered with dwayne jones, rdj consulting or enterprises, showing how a large company can work with a small company and partner and succeed, so it was really wonderful to see. so i want to thank all the staff that was involved in our open house because now th

brandon. here comes alone changes, matches the daylight savings time basically to south korea. the president bring the case to kim jong-un to prosecute the killers in north korea? >> well, yeah. my foundation tried to get him out and offered all kinds of things. not as efficient negotiations. they owe intonation. what happened to otto warmbier? why did he come back and not get proper treatment? i think there has been accountability. very good people to family, they filed a lawsuit. i think it has to go through student process and but, i think at the very least, the north koreans should make a very concrete decision never to apprehend another american. and there are three americans that are there right now apprehended that should be released. >> we should not forget otto warmbier and the three americans there as well as talking about the potential denuclearization of the korean peninsula to governor and ambassador, thank you for seeing us, as always. molly? >> details on how police suspected a serial killer after decades on the run. why they say he will likely never faced some charters and how ordinary americans m
