often a presentation rather than just a massive paperwork and the presentation would be given by mr. kim or a leading foreign officer official to set out in front of the committee the choices we have to make. and sometimes it's very operational. we might have a -- on afghanistan, for instance, we have a proper look at the drawdown plans that the ministry of defense have. as a committee, we want to figure out, is that the right operational plan for britain? i think it is right that the government decide these things. sometimes it can be very strategic. we might have a discussion about our relations with the emerging powers, and it will be about how we best go about, who should we be seeking relations with and how do we improve them? sometimes it can be a meeting where it really helps to have a collective discussion. for instance, we have the conflict pool, bringing together money from defense and foreign affairs. i think it's good that we sit around the table. we got this money, how are we going to spend it? which conflict areas and unstable states should our investments be going into? we

and i hope that you will join supervisor kim and i in voting favorably for this legislation. mr. chair, the rest i give back to supervisor kim. >> supervisor kim. >> thank you, supervisor cohen and president chiu. it's always important to put a face behind legislation. and today's legislation is for these very individuals. the fair chance act is for an individual named don he will who was fired from his janitorial job whos was fired for failing to tell about a 1974 arrest for transpesting. the fair chance act is for a woman named sandee who won the lottery at nema across the street, but was disqualified because she failed to pay child support in the late 1990s, even though she served time for that failure. the fair chance act is for denise who was told she shouldn't bother to apply for a job as a cook because she had a conviction for shop lifting when she was in high school. as supervisor cohen mentioned, for one in four adults in the united states, an arrest or conviction record is a stigma that means "you need not apply." these examples are real life obstacles preventing individ

kim. at this point, mr. clerk, will you call item number 4? >> item number 4, ordinance appropriating $2,515,000 to the mayor's office of housing for fiscal year 2013-2014, establishing the nonprofit rent stabilization program. >> okay, thank you very much. this item was sponsored by president chiu and supervisor kim. i will turn it over to first president chiu to speak. >> thank you, colleagues. and appreciate all the work you are doing today. i know today is a long meeting. so, today, colleagues, i am asking along with supervisor kim for your support for a supplemental appropriation before us to assist nonprofits that have been impacted by the rising commercial rents in the mid-market tax exclusion zone. we have all heard the many stories of the challenges facing the nonprofits that are responsible for our social safety net and this is a supplemental that would be funded directly by the tax increases in our city would be receiving in the zone during -- it is based on revenue growth so it is likely to get bigger as additional construction pro

[inaudible] they have power or control over what happened without any legal obligation. so let them set up policy, whole korean peninsula, that america overseas, they stay behind on their guideline. china's government also now, sal has taken more action, we cannot do anything. so those two questions. >> well, this may bring me close to the borderline i said i wouldn't cross moving from policymakers to analyst, but that's an interesting question. i think the challenge with understanding north korea's motivations in 1994 as to why we moved into a period of just up to the death of kim il-sung, a period when north korea put its nuclear program und

mr. president. supervisor farrell. supervisor kim. >> thank you. i just want to add my co-sponsorship and support to supervisor campos's tenant relocation assistance payment legislation. i'm really excited this is moving forward and i just want to thank supervisor campos's office for working on this legislation. over the last year our office has been fielding so many calls and hearing from residents, many who grew up here in san francisco that are fearful of losing their home or have been served eviction notices. but are often most stunned when they see the relocation payment fee that they are offered under our local ordinance. and realizing that it's barely enough to move and even find a comparable unit for even a month here in san francisco. and, so, it's great to see that out of many of discussions that have been coming out of the neighborhood tenant convention, most recently the one in the south of market and the tenderloin which we both attended, that this was a theme that often emerged from our tenants, which is landlords have the right to ev

nab this will be sent to committee and spl supervisor kim >> [inaudible] happy to have this discussion. i'm open to hearing discussion >> thank you mr. president and following up with what phrvisor kim noted. my understanding is this item deals with a ballot measure and under the rules of the board of supervisor specifically rule 5.3, the rules committee shall be referred measure concerning appointments and ballot measures so i think under or rules it should be heard by the rules committee >> supervisor wiener >> thank you mr. president. according to had rules the land use and economic development [inaudible] land use zoning and planning and rent control and transportation and so forth. this is how we do zoning and impacts on housing and developmental so i think land use and economic committee is the appropriate one. i have a question for the sate attorney. in terms of rules and land use and economic development is there one committee it is sent to? >> [inaudible] may determine which committee to send it to. on rereferrals like this, the board could have a motion and determine which committee it should be sent to. the board rules on

kim. >> thank you, mr. president. i also want to chime in and express my gratitude and also appreciation for the existence of rainbow grocery. i was there [speaker not understood]. i actually had -- i live two blocks away from rainbow grocery for many years. so, you are my neighborhood grocery store. i've come there many times and i continue to come. it's a great day to know that not only you're supporting worker staff, but you know the products are carefully selected and that you are continuing to support [speaker not understood] and balance throughout the world by shopping at rainbow. but this action, donating 100% of your proceeds, this isn't just a company that's donating profits. these are [speaker not understood] you are directly donating to the philippines. months after the all the media attention dies down, as supervisor campos and avalos mentioned, 4 million people still remain homeless. so, you know, when everyone is giving several months ago, you know, i think [speaker not understood] was giving started to

mr. sears. >>> good afternoon, supervisor kim and supervisor tang. my name is michael hampton and ayectionv here to support the legislation and encourage you to bring it to the full board. i worked on this legislation with the community members, community housing partnership and outreach throughout the city and by and large most people are for it. and i am particularly excited about it because i would like to see our young people get to work. and i also talked to myriad of age groups. and almost to a person, someone had something in their background and the impediment is there. so, i would like to see san francisco take the lead and offer this. and able bode i had people who want to work i think it will be an excellent opportunity for them to do that and also to get housing ~. and i appreciate your support today. thank you. >> thank you, mr. hamm ton. ~ hampton. >>> good afternoon, my name is stephen [speaker not understood], and this is really a no-brainer. i mean there is nothing i can say or anyone else can say that would make any difference. i me

mr. smith, finding jim smith, we had. >> reporter: kim learned that jim smith was a civilian contractor iner, his house cleaner. they actually lived in his apartment, the one with the balcony on which this picture was taken, the one kim was able to return to recently with her son. but not all successful searches are satisfying ones. kim also wanted to find jim smith's relatives to thank them and learn more about the man. but jim's one son, for reasons not entirely clear, has declined to meet with kim. still, kim is happy to have learned what she did. for one can't know how long a journey has been unless they know where it started. from a story that spans the world to one that grew right in our backyard, literally. we're talking about a giant sequoia tree planted by legendary natural list john muir more than 100 years ago on his property in martinez. the land is now a national historic site. the tree, well, it's in trouble. and one man is leading the charge to save it. >> reporter: at the intersection of elhambra avenue and highway 4 in martinez, the john muir national historic site is a wo
