local roads. so for some regional administration has to take care for the locality administration. so this is mainly a guideline that has to support local administrations in their work. and why do local administrations need this? because there is a regional regulation that says that all our local authorities need to have a local mobility plan. i heard this morning about a problem like neighbors complaining when things have to be changed and the whole debate that is coming up then. but i think we have it similar because it's our local mayors who sometimes are hesitating to put into practice -- that's one of the reasons why those cycling routes sometimes get stuck, because you have a regional cycling route, but local authorities, we have 19 in brussels, local authorities do have to give permits for that. there is a lot of criticism on that and i heard my dutch colleague say one hour ago, you can get stuck because at local levels people don't like it, although your regional plan is to be so good. that's true. on the other hand, i think that it's a good democratic process to really to

we have the ladders that connect to the next balcony, those are regulated under the local, administrative bulletins and there's retroactive provisions in the state building code about how they have to be. >> the angle and width. i believe that's all covered in the handout. >> typically san francisco fire escapes and we will see, had angles of somewhere between 60 and 72-degree ladders. i can't from this angle tell what that is. the state has made it clean that 60 degrees is what they consider to be the maximum safe angle. most of the existing ones are steeper, up to 72 degrees. and these hand rails and they step down on to a landing and you walk around and go down. at the bottom, this is the way to get to the ground. this is great. this has something called a counter balance ladder. it means that as you walk down to the bottom of the fire escape, there's a ladder sticking out horizontally. it will go down because there's a weight. >> it doesn't go all at once. >> so counter balance ladders are what the code currently require. but as we walk around, you will see many of them don't have cou

local hire policy. our policy in chapter 6.22 of the administrative code was never revised, and the city attorney recommended that local hire to be removed from all local contracts the city enters into. over the last year, tension at construction sites here in the city have risen to the point where contractors have been very alarmed about work stoppages and labor unrest. even as u -- at the hospital project in the bay area, it has experienced work stoppage. in these economic times, the city finds itself in the unique position of being the single largest if you saider of construction work. the city will spend nearedly $27 billion over the next 10 years. the city needs to leverage its funding position to ensure our residents benefit from this investment from the start. the issue of local hire is not new. the legislation should not come as a surprise to anyone. we have been meeting and talking with multiple stakeholders for a long time, and i want to thank the many unions, builders, community advocates and departments that have assisted in crafting the legislation and its amendments. i particularly want to than

to thrive if they will but recognize their strengths and the advantages that localism and the public spirited administration of the airways bring to them. it's an advantage that not all, in fact, not nearly enough broadcasters have pursued. it is no secret that i have been disappointed that so much of the spectrum dividend that aconstrue to broadcasters as a result of the dtv transition was dramatically underauto lighted. i'm not interested in pushing broadcasters somewhere else or in discouraging their enhanced public interest stewardship of the airways. but the public interest multicasting remains all too often the concept and not a reality. i speak only for myself in saying that had this spectrum been put to such positive use as i have just discussed, i would have little interest in contemplating other uses of it. but here we are trying to define how scarce and sometimes underutilized spectrum can serve consumers and citizens. from now until such time as channel-surfing and all the rest come our way, maybe more broadcasters will come see the wisdom of harvesting greater benefits of the spectrum of their
