how did local law enforcement come into the picture? >> thank you very much for inviting us on the show and allowing us to give our perspective. post9/11, the information sharing was critical. conversely from the federal level to the state and local level we saw a big gap and right after september 11th, the number of states decided, you know what, we need to bill operations to share data. we currently have 18,000 law enforcement agencies across the united states. about 760,000 state and local law enforcement officers. and one of the big gaps we had was there was no platform to share information across all those agencies. not related to terrorism but related to criminal investigations and intelligence information-sharing. so the state started building these centers early on, and within a good five year period we had 40 centers and now over ten years later we have 78 centers across the country which are tying together those 18,000 local agencies and bringing out the information that folks are finding on the street and pushing that forward

in massachusetts as discovered last summer people are trying to boost local businesses by using local currency. this segment originally aired in september. >> reporter: the berkshire mountains of western massachusetts home to the historic inn operating since 1773 back when the tab might have been settled with continentals, revolutionary currency. 240 years laterer i can pay by united states dollar, of course, or credit card. >> what is my bill? >> right now you have an outstanding balance of $148.10. >> reporter: the inn offers another option. i'm going to get shares to pay with. burke shares, an alternative local currency born in 2006 and now accepted by some 400 businesses. the process begins at five area ba banks. among them the banks have about a million in their vault circulated when someone like me steps up to the window. can i trade dollars for berk shares here? no fuss, no muss and you buy them at a five percent discount getting 105 berk shares for every $100. for my $700 to cover our crew costs for several nights at the inn, 735 berk shares. and you get a discount at every pl

i want to put local folks on the projects, get local contractors. i really want to do this. where do we start? and i remember we pulled out thes are liewgz before. this is where we got before and we can move forward and supervisor farrell says let's do it and get community folks and there say sense of excitement that will this take off. there is a lot of work to be done and as far as work force we are crafting an approach to qualify the contractors which is critical because we're doing it early at the beginning. qualifying contractors -- not just on the ability to disifer deliver for san franciscans and i know it's something we tried for years with go solar sf and never got there as a solution and using state certified apprenticeship programs and is the conversation right now and how we do that and that is good because some contractors might not doing finance projects all the time. they might be doing other work and other aspects of construction and not always engaging the local work force that is built into the values of this program with the relaunch of greenfinancesf and

or the state school district at the local level. if we left it up to just the local schools we wouldn't have a federal system that helps with low-income families for whom the school meal whether its breakfast, lunch or boas both, e best nutrition a child could get that day. congress is proposing unbelievably deep cuts to the food stamps, now known as snap, half of whom represent children. half of the recipients of snap are children. it will be cut, the question is to what extent. the school meals now become more important. what does the federal government have in insuring that this subsidize program, and we definitely need to have meals subsidized for these kids. there is plenty of flexibility for local schools to ingain in things like the salad bars. >> how challenging is it for schools to innovate when they don't have a lot of money. >> we do receive federal funding for free and reduced price meals. in st. paul we have kids that are eligible, but that has not stopped us from engaging with our kids and our community. you'll find th

by doing so we are supporting other local businesses and we are helping the local economy in creating more jobs. liquid gold's tasting room will not only be quaint and comfortable but will also education the patrons about the city's history. many don't know that during the gold rush that many breweries started here in the city and were demolished during prohibition. we have a very rich brewing tradition in the city. many don't know in the knob hill neighborhood in california and hyde there used to be a cable car. i intend to establish that in my bar. liquid gold is here to serve the neighborhood. people spend a lot of times in their homes and need a diversity to go. liquid gold will provide an alternative to these neighbors. we'll not be attracting the party people. i have already reached out to the neighborhood groups and local business owners and have not received any opposition to my project. most are excited to hear about liquid gold. one of my potential neighbors, the owner of flowers, she was very excited about my project and we even talked about possibly working in the near fut

a preference for the city's local hire policy. after careful consideration of this issue staff is proposing to apply the city's local hire policy on all construction work. this is the approach they would have used if the local hire policy had been in place at that time, but the city only adopted the policy in december 2010 and the agency didn't do any contracts for intrastructure work after that. this is the first one where they'll be applying this policy to one of its projects. the alternative, which we also considered would be to have the transportation authority require the selected contractor to enter into a construction work force agreement similar to what we typically require of our private developers when we do a disposition and development agreement. the differences between the two policies are described in your staff memorandum and i'll go through them again if i could get this on the overhead too. this table was in your staff memo and as you can see, it shows the differences between our construction work force agreements

this is a program that the city can implement locally. this is something that the mta has actually already begun, that they have added 33 additional pco's to the disabled placard detail and now we have 14 pco's and a supervisor who dedicate all their time to enforcing placard misuse. also to make it easier for the ofrsers to do their investigations we recommend the department of motor vehicles should make placard holder photograph available so the officers will have an easier time matching the person to the placard. . >> in this third slide what you see is a dmv site. what i think is important is they have a special parking place for accessible vehicles so a person who is going to get their license using an accessible vehicle can easily park. that's all to the good, but we say dmv needs to do more. you heard the suggestion that they need to find a way to link a picture to the placard. there's something else. we suggest that dmv upgrade its data base to include information about medical providers who certify placards. right now they have n

we want to ensure local residents are working on local contracts on local projects so we keep money and workflow within san francisco and continue to boost our local economy. i want to thank pat muligan from city build in particular, for all their hard work in the workforce component on that as well. we are confident that san francisco's program can now move forward and be successful. we've seen countless programs up and down the state of california and nationwide operates successfully now for years with no threat of it being shut down, we want to protect property owners and give them the comfort they need to part pate. our governor jerry brown passed in his budget reserve funds that will address sfha concerns and make sure that they are not impacted by pace impacts mere in san francisco, we will be participate ining the state reserve fund so that our property owners are fully perked. green finance sf is the environmental solution we've been searching for in san francisco that will build out local energy sources and will create local jobs, it will reduce the adverse effects of climate c

accountability report that was published, 95% of the suspicious activity reports filed by state and local police in fusion centers are never investigated 50 fbi. that should give -- by the fbi. that should give you some indication of the junction information that's being swept up by the state and local police. when that happens, it makes it more difficult to identify real threats, when you have so much irrelevant or useless information pumping through the information, it really is like adding hay to the hay stacks. >> what are the civil liberties concerns in this collection of information? >> well, when you have vague rules like we have here and the rules are inconsistent, and police can file reports without any suspicion of criminal activity, there's always the risk that officers will fall back on their own bias or preconceptions. and that's a concern in this case. there's been a troubling trend towards reporting individuals who appear muslim or appear middle eastern. you have to think about how this works. if photography is considered suspicious, and people are taking photographs all th

control to our local municipalities to stop speculative ellis act evictions. second item i have is to request a hearing in early next year in chapter 14b of the administrative code t local business enterprise. this is timing for several reasons. early this year, our mayor by order removed the act by rights provisions from office under the administrator. yesterday the contract monitoring division issued and annual report on the past fiscal year. this is a first report on lbe's in the first year even though this has required quarterly reporting. background, we know it comprised 95 or less of businesses contributing hundreds of millions of dollars to our local economy, our economies local back bones. 3 decades ago this san francisco board of supervisors has experienced passive and active discrimination in practices and recognize that history no longer had a place in our city acknowledging that millions of dollars that we spent for services could be a tool to help disadvantaged minorities to increase businesses. chapter 14b now helps all of our businesses in cost

you think is fair enough awareness local. none of you know how weak and chewing our resources together to myself is no proper want to leave the prop. i think there is no way acts that a lot of the areas that are closer to the city is a lot of care them. however the ones that are in the faraway it's the one to worry how to speak on the ground. electricity or why they're both pieces really aren't getting as much as they need help like it's really inconvenient to stick it inconvenient for them to come down the mountain it's the last two weeks than it solved. there really are people that we don't get much care because of the contestants spoken yet so there's still a lot of room for improvement. we need to take another break them up when walking back. fan. sells. steve the sea. welcome back to space probe and killed while on the coast we will will will continue our discussion without the celtic gal who's currently the president of the founders of skype the lord. paul kelley telescope is about seek the will or will the stand he fou

to connect them to more of our local scene and make sure that big event are utilized with our local produce that's the heart and movement of our whole food sector innovative. and then as wife also felt the success of our city has partly to do with everybody we do whether it's bio life scientists and the technology industry or merchandising industry here and tourism but the real innovation comes when we recognize that it is the intersections where those industries happen to cross and where they met each other. that's why it's important to see a company like autodesk here and pg&e that ordinarily they do things in the traditional sense people do things on their own. advanced merchandising you can't do anything without this you want to be able to see it before you mass produce it it takes outside the risk and certainly saves money. david chiu and i were there at the autodesk were assisting all the different levels of merchandising. so that cross section is very important. there's more of those areas that can do a lot more for us. you'll find another example when square opens up their headquart
