so, now on to supervisor breed's question. >> thank you, mr. mayor. like to acknowledge our district 5 colleague, supervisor breed, for the one question during today's session. >> thank you, president chiu, and welcome, mr. mayor. as we have all now seen in the news and some san franciscans have unfortunately experienced personally, we have a crises in our fire department ambulance system. the department is out of compliance with the service level it is obligated to provide under its exclusive operating agreement with the state. it is also failing to meet its own standard for ambulance response times. the city aims to have ambulances on the scene of emergencies within 10 minutes 90% of the time. in july and august the fire department's actual response time was almost 50% longer than that. there were 3 74 occasion when it took more than 20 minutes for an ambulance to arrive in august alone. [speaker not understood] the fire department literally did you not have an ambulance available to send to someone in need have increased over 500% since 2008, avera

>> thank you, mr. mayor. i want to begin by acknowledging this has really been a team effort. we have worked across numbers of agencies including our public hospital systems, the fire department which oversees the emergency medical services to ensure that everyone is coordinated in this response, and many other activities we have all worked together. we have also benefited from close collaborations with our state health department and our federal partners at the centers for disease control, and we're pleased to have our doctor who has joined us here in new york from the cdc. i have the time line that i talked with you about yesterday evening. we know that the patient continues to be stable at bellevue hospital, where he remains hospitalized in the isolation unit in an intensive care unit. we have some new information from the cdc. they are confirming his ebola test, that we -- so it is also positive, so he is now a confirmed ebola patient. we know the outline of this patient's whereabouts. he is a doctor, as

limit it to two minutes a person and i would like to begin by acknowledging mayor agnos and give you mr. mayor >> >> thank you, it is probably unusual to see a former mayor come and speak to it and i spoke to it like 14 years ago and this company and the all state and he had come into the neighborhood as a brand new business and we didn't know who they were and we didn't know their business practicings and over the last 15 years and so we opposed the liquor license, way back then, but today, after 15 years, of getting to know them and the character of these owners as well as their business practice and providing affordable groceries as an alternative to the high end things that are now, doting our neighborhood, and we think that it is time for them to get the kind of help that they need to expand their business into an area that we also need some competition for. and the entire neighborhood supports it, and i am here as an unpaid, volunteer to simply add my voice to all of the folks on the hill who say, this is a good thing for our neighborhood and we hope that you will approve it. >> thank yo

mr. mayor this is the silver lining of the regional earthquake it is important for us to be prepared who has their disaster worker card we now use the number as a our employee id bus on the baksz is the service workers information this medians that public employees throughout the state will be called upon to serve in the event of an emergency perhaps in a different location and time you, however, we're not going to ask them to do something which they're not prepared i will be making meals but this is an opportunity to remind people we're going to have a test of our emergency notification system today as suggested by the mayor this system you remembered it is called rob both coolers we don't have individuals calling the 37 thousand city employees but we have the system it reaches out to the contacts people saw the life feed it's not life one weekly people who quite maybe no evidence but if they left a while ago probably won't be no evidence (laughter) what will happen depending on the informatio

but i have to agree with mr. mayor, and actually he gave me speech, and i don't know if i needed to talk to them, and for them to stop talking to one another, but that was really my exact speech and this development is really a jewel at the heart of western soma, and i do meet with a lot of developers, but sometimes when developers come in with a project and a plan, i don't want to sound cheesy, but the project actually kind of sings to you and it is beautiful. and when amir came to our office, and by the way, i have only worked on a withs with the western soma for three years, there are many here that worked for 8 years, and they served on the task force for 8 years. and i know that amir was a integral part of the process every part of the way, but when he came to our office to present the two projects both, the bus depot, and the musical concourse, i was struck how incredibly sensitive that the project was to the neighborhood, and often times, we spent a lot of time wrangling and we would like to see this and how we

but the voters seem to think differently. >> you know, mr. mayor, i want to go back to something you said about the black votes, because everyone talks about how democratic voters don't turn out in midterm elections. but in georgia, black people made up 30% of the turn-out in 2008. there wasn't a drop-off in georgia. do you think black voters will turn out this year? >> i think they're definitely going to turn out. what we have to do in georgia is to get michelle nunn over 50. we need 50 more votes in every precinct. you're in atlanta. you can feel the energy. it's resonating in the black community. congressman john lewis was out campaigning with michelle nunn yesterday. he was absolutely on fire. president clinton will be in atlanta on friday. you can just feel the energy building as we go into the home stretch. we've got to get her over 50 plus so we don't have to do this again. >> besides the senate races, a lot of incumbent governors, republican governors, are close in the polls in their races this year. scott walker, who i mentioned. rick scot

to think that someone is determiningizing formula retail it's about being careful of a balanced mr. mayor field with the localized businesses so the scrutiny is quite successful that said the mid sized chains is a good idea i'll suggest seeing how that work outs and if we get an employment analysis study i think it's important we'll find out what kind of employment so again good job to supervisor mar and the supervisors and the oewd you've got a good compromise. >> thank you, sir. >> supervisors i'm richard i'm a resident of chinatown i support chain store going into chinatown i really know the workers in chinatown on stomping stockton and grand avenue and jackson street they're not getting the minimum pay they pop only getting half of what they supposed to be earned what the law says and the employer does not honor over time and do give sick pay and vacationed this is why i urge you to let the chain store and big store comes in so that the workers will get the pay and the city do have a enforcement agency they call it the labor standards but they understaffed and overworked now most of w
