mr. martine has brought this up. thank you are about. mr. morales? >> this points out how they are responsive, although not as swiftly as he wanted in the category of addressing the issues that the public brings up that we will continue to follow up on. >> we will have a public comment at the end of item #3. threec, an update -- 3c, an update on permit drafting systems. >> yes, it is nearly ready for review. we have nearly deleted and combined air lot of the elements that we wanted address in the permit tracking system to address the needs of all the apart -- all of the departments. using a less detailed method for assistance rather than downloading everyone here and having them on interface tracking basis with a planning system. many departments already have records stored in electronic formats but in different venues, so we would need an interface for each type. we do not want to bring them into one system right now where they exist on different servers. a different way of approaching it, but we have got it figured out. we have been working and pla

mr. martin? >> to what extent does the nature of the fact inhibit your activity? >> i am sorry. i am not familiar with that act. i am just a criminal attorney. [laughter] >> it is the act under which a hearing is required within 72 hours for anyone with a mental illness. if you send them to mental health court, and then they come out of the normal court system. >> you are talking about people who might be having civil commitments? >> i guess. >> it is a different court. that is a civil proceeding. that is separate from the criminal proceeding. i personally do not access the court. it is not necessarily true that just because they have the hearing that the case will go away. >> i and a stand. maybe i should get back to what you said about the importance of the behavioral health court. do you have a bottleneck in terms of getting people into the behavioral health court system that takes them out of the criminal justice system? it is a parallel system for the mentally ill. >> correct. >> have they been kept back in their ability to provide guidance? to what extent do they have acce

martin. thank you speaker pelosi, mr. mayor, mark leno, aaron peskin. we are thrilled in the r.e.c. -- rec and park department to be the home of this incredible department. as you heard before, this is an inspirational symbol to the world. the mayor often talks about beacons on a hill. this is really a beacon on the hill that speaks to the world about the values san francisco has. one of those values is really preservation of things, making sure that when they're built, they're built to last, that they're beautiful, that their aesthetics are great. this is 75 years later and it's never looked this good. i really want to thank every single person today, i particularly want to thank rose dennis and her team. i want to thank the park rangers and the police department and the fire department and every single city employee who worked so hard over the last few days to make this work today. yesterday we were at the california academy of sciences unvietnamming an incredible sculpture by the artist maya ling. and to me, san francisco has this her i tange of art.

the races together ah how about grief and glenn beck too many is far from being martin luther king their point is well mr beck is exactly you know racially we seem to have a racially divisive the. president was i have yeah i think they make their living off of race baiting re saying keep in the race is going to each other this is not a black and white issue no sir here is not a black and white issue no so there's a human issue. it's very spiteful and just very childish of him to do i can't imagine why he would choose a specific day in what seems to be a world away on an avenue called you street they call it the black broadway political correctness had a relapse ten years now what let's get after the opening of ben's chili bowl model the king with when he was assassinated nearly all the businesses around at the time were leveled looted or lit on fire by mobs angry about the assassination but they didn't touch miss temple at all through its five decades this little restaurant in washington saw how hard civility is to come by. and a day when an arguably divisive figure invokes the memory dr martin luther ki

host: martin luther king iii is a member of mr. kings' family. we have the numbers to call for republicans, democrats and independents. and if you are planning on participating in the march or rallies, the number for you to call. by the way the reverend al sharpton will be on this show tomorrow morning as will mr. reid. good morning. caller: hi, how are you. i want to be sure that glenn beck knows that honor was never gone in the first place in america. that his ideals are way out of, you know, out of base. he's not for the majority of america. it really sounds like he is speaking for himself. and i see reverend al sharpton and others trying to stifle this before it's bigger. i see beck publicizing on fox news and i believe before that he was on msnbc and took off and went somewhere place. i believe he has to have a reality check and realize that america has not lost its honor and no one here, and it's going to stay that way. host: from washington d.c., sandy. caller: hi, i am here for the rally. host: for the glenn beck rally? caller: yes, i hav

mr. rivera. on behalf of the board of directors, do thank you for your outstanding work. [applause] >> our next award goes to melanie martin. melanie, could you please step up to the podium? melody is also a transit operator at our green division and has been with the agency for over 11 years. she's receiving this award today for her courageous actions of saving someone from harm or possibly saving their lives. on june 21, melody witnessed a man fall into the tracks at the train station at civic center station while she was pulling in. she worked very quickly and safely to stop her train and avoided any contact or harm to that person. her keen awareness, observation of her surroundings and her skills as a train operator was invaluable to this incident. i'd like for john also present the award of appreciation to melody. john. >> thank you, mr. ford. once again, truly extraordinary performance, and i learned earlier today that actually this is somewhat routine for melanie because prior -- even prior to joining the agency she had been involved in helping someone who was down in the subway tracks be brought out safely. so we'r

martin. >> thank you, mr. chairman. i have a 36 bridges that have been deemed structurally deficient by our state department of transportation. can you hear me? one bridgett couple of years ago, there was a fire in southeast colorado. there were killed because the truck they were in went over a bridge and they collapsed. it is a critically important issue. this report says an astonishing number, $98.9 billion could be invested immediately. i am intrigued of the title of the report that says they have taken actions but could do more to strengthen oversight of bridge safety. i think one of the mentioned that you were doing quite a bit of oversight of state programs. the question in my mind becomes, we have a limited amount of dollars. there is a lot of oversight being done. federal authorities are overseeing state programs that are overseeing the bridges. the talk about how extensive the oversight role is to the states? he said the stage and not always doing their jobs and there is a federal role, but i wonder, but do you

[applause] >> 47 years ago, on these various steps, dr. martinhis dream seems a simple one -- justice, freedom, and the promise that all men are created equal, the promise that is america for all of her citizens. that day, 200,000 people, black and white, young and old, gathered across the national wall to hear his words. many had run out of faith. many had struggled just to survive. more had lost hope. he knew that this was the day to inspire change. this was the day the american people would rise above politics, rise above the hate, and rise to the occasion. martin luther king was born into a time of fierce segregation. while parts of the country bought strictly in black-and- white, can only solve right and wrong. from the beginning, he recognized america as an idea, one that can only succeed if everyone was given a seat at the cnter. just like the founding fathers before him, he knew the fight for freedom was not easy. a fight for equality was even harder. even though the fight was exhausting, the obstacles demoralizing, he firmly stood by his
