>> good afternoon mr. ca r.n. es. >> i wanted to comment on the director's report on the controller's report on the central subway finances and reporting. i had a chance to look at that last night and seems to me there's also a set of reports called pomc reports which is the federal transit administration hires a contract or to manage the subway project and they did this because they have granted sfmta 942 million $942 million and they are very concerned that this project be successful so issued these reports monthly and give direction to the project on things that can that can rectified so when i read the report last night there were at least 2 or more major items in conflict with the pomc reports that's also a company that does financial analysis and reporting. the first issue that struck me was that the controller's report gave the central subway a pass on using excel for cost controls excel is a pc-based program and doesn't have that audit trail you can actually go in and make things look whatever way

curry and mr. goodento a physical confrontation and so both of them were taken out of j-5. >> the fight between inmate chad goode and curry apparently began after curry felt a third inmate smelled bad, so he doused the inmate with a mixture of water, toothpaste, and soap. >> the young man is a little too young and too small to stand up to himself to a guy that big. >> i asked him about it. he didn't deny it. so i sent him out of the pod. and while he was in the sally port, he was standing there whipping his penis out and shaking it at the inmates. and then, i guess they told him that they were going to smash him out. and then he started apologizing. and they're like, all right, we'll leave you alone, so don't do it again. and then he pulls it out again and starts doing the same thing laughing and taunting them while he's doing it. >> obnoxious. just plain obnoxious. he's out there in sally port shaking his wang at everybody, which is not something you do to a bunch of guys in orange. it's just, we've bee

mr. chairman, good morning, mr. chairman, members of the committee, i am gigi whitly with the assessor recorder. i am pleased to be presenting two items for your consideration. the first is a 1.25 million three year state grant along with a salary ordinance agreement adding 5 salaried positions to focus on new construction property assessments. san francisco was one of 9 california counties selected to receive this competitive grant. as you are well aware, san francisco is experiencing a high level of real estate development activity. the result for our office has been an upward trend in new construction properties requiring assessment. however, our office has about a 7900 case backlog of new construction cases requiring assessment. as such we divided to focus this grant exclusively on working down that backlog. the funds and new positions will be directed to in progress new construction properties as well as those completing construction and give us the opportunity to pilot more efficient business processes. the go

good morning, bernie. >> caller: good morning. mr.raig, i'm interested in the transit of american -- the american army from here to europe. what efforts did the navy make to assure their safety, especially from submarines. thank you? >> mr. craig? >> when the united states entered the war, probably the two primary problems that daniels as head of the navy faced was combatting the u-boats and as the caller asked, transporting the army to the fields in france. and after the war when daniels was asked what he thought the navy's most important contribution was, he said that it was transporting the army because although other members of the cabinet when they voted for war did not think that the united states would have to put an army in the field, daniels felt -- and one of the reasons why he was -- he hesitated to vote for war in the cabinet -- he was the last member of the cabinet to vote for war -- was because he was convinced an army would be required in the field in western europe, and so when he was asked after the war what he though

thank you. >> good afternoon mr. smith. >> i'm a member of the san francisco transit rider's union and i'd like to show you this plan looks like a smart adaptation to changes that are going on in the city and elsewhere. i think that carrying more people and fewer vehicles and making it easier to live without a car will address our high cost of living and it will address the changes of younger people driving less and wanting to live without cars . it will basically make the city more livable and it will help the agonizing trips that some people have to take from market street to north beach or bay or however far north it goes . my brother lives in the in the upper haight and he used to go to school around around pier 39 and he said it was agonizing and this would do a lot to improve it. i don't know i don't know what else to say. i'm in favor of this. i'd like to see it happen. >> thank you. next speaker please? >> i thank you directors. i'm ruth naught the director of education at the san francisco opera. . regarding

mr. papas who has three minutes. could we switch the mic? >> good evening commissioners and secretary and the attorney . on the screen i have some reasoning for [inaudible] request. i'll just quote here -- i get quoted a lot of stuff last week, a month ago. a hearing request only in extraordinary cases to prevent manifest injustice. that is what's occurring to divinity tree at the moment. i don't have new circumstances, but i'd like you to review the circumstances we discussed last time and i'll list them after i state the injustice. you know, last time was kind of a popularity contest, kind of a referendum. that's not what i wanted and i think the facts got lost somewhere in that. why did i present the planning e-mails. i presented the planning e-mails from january to march and they were just about word for word what was said. i don't understand why planning made me go through two months of this if they knew the 18 months closure period had already ended. that's another [inaudible] of the 18 month closure administration. i reviewed the last stateme
