and i am okay with that especially knowing that miss miller will not be in the executive director position and now you are the director and probably the hours will be less as well and so it does make some sense.. >> i want to note that i am certainly supportive of this and i want to thank miss miller i have certainly appreciated the excellent work that you have done, and i think that it is important for us to maintain that continuity and thank the staff for the recommendation. >> any public comment? >> seeing none, could we have a motion to approve the rates? >> or for the not-to-exceed rate from commissioner breed and campos and we will take that without objection. >> and the item passes. >> okay. >> and the next item please? >> sorry. item number five, san francisco lafco reserve fund policy. >> i think that pg&e was happy about that. >> commissioner, mr. freed? >> jason, freed, lafco staff, and on this item, if you remember from last month's meeting where we were talking about the budget, we were talking about our reserved fund that we have left and how that has been shrinking over the

be exceeded that will be the case and also in addition to this, it is a couple of years, since miss miller requested an increase and requesting an increase this time of her rates of $5 an hour, for her and, each of her staff to do work for us. and so, that rate is schedule in your packet so that you can see what the schedule is and i am encouraging you to support, approving the extension of the contract for one year as well as the rate increase,. and with the not-to-exceed amount of $45,000 and as always, the contract has the ability for us if we wish to terminate the contract at any point in time during the year. any questions i am happy to answer. >> okay, thank you that was thorough and the packet has all of the information as well and so, not-to-exceed rate of $45,000 for the fiscal year. and that could be adjusted if need be during the middle of the year and also an hourly increase. from 208 dollars an hour to $285 dollars an hour, or $275 to $280 and that is for the staff as well. and i am okay with that especially knowing that miss miller will not be in the executive director positi

to do the legal services in the past for many years that we are appreciative that she would, and miss miller was also acting as the executive officer with the recent changes that they are going back to the legal services. so, we are, and we are requesting that if we continue the legal services and also, with their knowledge, and experience, here i am also going to be part of and we will be utilizing that knowledge and experience, for other purposes outside of the legal council services and last year we had approved not-to-exceed rate of $95,000 but based on the board of supervisors, you know, the request that this be a cost saving measure and also the fact of the work load being reduced and given the chance of the responsibility within lafco and the staff is recommending a amount of $45,000, and this is for me, a best guess as to what are not-to-exceed amount would be. and if we as the year goes on and we will be monitoring this and if it turns out that i was wrong, i will come back to you and increase that amount and because we are entering a new era here of not knowing exactly how much or

(phone ringing) miss miller, i call her "mama miller." >> good morning!orning. >> what classes do you have this morning? >> i have algebra ii, latin... she's seen me grow up. >> how did you study for the chem test? >> just went over my notes... i'm very, very, very fortunate to have her. >> i felt as though it was really imperative to keep very constant contact. >> bye, miss miller, love you! >> just to make sure that the adjustment was going well, but also knowing that, you know, many people were rooting for her to be successful here in the bronx. >> you're messing with me. don't take away what i have. don't you dare do that to me! ...i messed up. (laughs) >> narrator: she was determined to succeed, and the teachers at brooks saw her potential. >> omarina, what do you need to do to get better? >> memorize my lines. >> that's the nuts and bolts. >> come back later today, and i will have it graded. >> i had four dorm parents, i had my advisor, i had all my teachers always making sure i was okay, always constantly there. >> omarina is not the kind of kid th

. >> actually, if you are wanting to approve the draft language that we put in here, miss miller is saying that we might want to establish one in the draft forms and the 1.51 is establishing the annual budget and might want to say when establishing the lafco budget and not the cca fund, and then we could adopt the draft language that is in here with the 15 percent number added in and i think that will be addressed to commissioner breed's concerns. >> okay and this will effect the next fiscal year and currently we have the lafco for the next fiscal here is how much? >> and when i looked at it, and two or three months ago, we were in the 350 range, i believe, and that is, you know, we probably spent that down a little bit and so my estimate is that we will end to $300,000 to $310,000 in the reserve account, and if we establish this today we are above the policy and i would not be putting any warnings to you, probably at all next year, it will be the year after that when we are setting up the budget that we want to make sure that we are balancing things correctly. >> and so by adding this lan

. >> the chair now recognizes miss miller from michigan. >> thank you, mr. chairman. unfortunately the central americas have had a very long history of both bad economies and violence, and both these things are probably as bad now as they have ever been, but to say that's a reason we suddenly have tens of thousands of children, children almost entirely coming from guatemala, the honduras and el salvador, traveling thousands of miles through mexico illegally entering the united states simply isn't true. i think it can be laid directly at the feet of president obama as a result of his daca policy in 2012. i hope our hearing doesn't judge just point out the problem which is very, very bad, getting worse, no end in sight, but i hope we can coalesce around actual options and solutions. several weeks ago i called on the president to call up the national guard. clearly, this is a national emergency. i don't think individual states like texas or arizona would have to fit the bill if they had their own national guard come up. this is a national problem. a number of members of

brazil's players vowed to win it by neymar but the attacker was more sorely missed as thomas miller wasm an 11th minute corner, free to give germany a 1-nil lead. that wasn't entirely surprising, what's in the first six minutes made this match famous forever. miroslav klose doubled his lead more than any player scored in the tournament's 84-year history. seconds later, tony cruz put brazil 3-nil down. it was more like the nba, each time germany went up the field it looked like scoring. cruz is on target again, moments later. and the tears of the home fans began to flow as their hope was dismay. by the time it was 5-nil to germany the match was effectively over. the final score of 7-1 made this the one one-sided semi cup final. brazil's coach took the blame afterwards, although he hasn't offered to resign. he did admit this was the worst day of his life. he's not the only brazilian feeling that way. this is a nation in mourning, because when the world cup final is played here at rio's famous american stadium sunday the beloved salazar will not be competing. alex thomas, cnn at the brazil
