. >> mr. moore. >> i have one question. will we receive a revise? >> absolutely. you will be getting all that in about three weeks in advance of the first hearing. >> commissioners, item 6 review of past week board of supervisors and historic preservation. >> thank you, good afternoon commissioners, there are a few items i would like to share with you. the first the land use committee considered a packet of technical amendments including clarifications and corrections to our planning code approved that ordinance on november 29 and since then there were more incorporated into the ordinance such as adding a note to the p be where they might find an index to fees and what are not allowed in union square and the restrict of use -- which has expired. >> newly appointed. she signed as a legislative sponsor and with those committees recommended approval of the ordinance. >> on tuesday, the plan was made possible by years of community and city effort. the board hearing contained a robust discussion about the no amendment were proposed. the plan included too many limitatio

i think we need to consider what mr. moore talked about. architectural concerns are something the commission ought to take a look at. we should know what changes have occurred because i have seen some projects we approved and when they were finally build, the detailing wasn't there, the relief on windows and things like that. that's important to know about, but i'm not sure that you have to have another hearing for that but you certainly should have informative architectural look at the new project. but i'm generally in favor. i think it has a lot of potential. >> commissioner phyllis. >> a couple questions, i think there are two issues. one the continuing policy of the 3 years and how we administer that and that stimulus policy. on the first one, what's the difference. i didn't see much difference in here than what we currently do there is still that ambiguity that you have to get a project and this is on the 3 years either revoked or continued. if someone doesn't do that, 5 years into it, we are still in that same position, aren't we? >>

i believe that the alterations to the building itself, the ones which mr. moore described, do more harm to the residential units of the representers than anybody can really imagine. for three of the units, at least, the laundry room where people have a washer, dryer and potentially refrigerator/freezer are being eliminated to get this elevator in. but what i find amazing is in a multi-story building of the elevator only serves the upper unit. it does not upgrade the residential building in which the people with disability might be able to live. i live actually 800 feet away from this building and i know the neighborhood very well. i've lived there for 30 years. so, i feel very comfortable weighing in on this particular discussion because some of the buildings have elevators. to say that the benefit for the tenants would be seismic upgrades and sprinklers is for me not a discussion item because the buildings have to perform to seismic and safety standards and improvements of that are voluntary or mandate by code and don't really -- cannot be considered a benefit o

and as a matter of fact, mr. moore acknowledged and i am quoting him standard. that the other airports to charge lease rental revenues based on a percentage of the minimum annual guarantee. excuse me, whichever is higher. and in addition given that the proposed lease will extend to eight years and the rates of clear channel will charge to the advertising customers will likely increase significantly over the 8-year period. the lightly gross revenues to be realized by clear channel from the advertisers, the airport will likely also increase significantly over the eight-year term and is showing them the table in the report that those advertising revenues realized by clear channel increased from 8.1 million in 25, 26 to 13 million in 12-13. that is an increase of $4.9 million and nearly 60 percent over eight years which is the same term of the proposed lease with clear channel. and i am summing up on page 30 of our report, we state that the airport points out that the ten million exceeds the percentage rent of nine million 337, and 11-12 under the existing lease for

commissioner moore. >> mr. sanchez, [speaker not understood], could you explain to us in what form we are protecting the rent controlled units? construction will require that the tenants move out. this building has three empty units and three rent controlled units, and once the unit is empty, once the building is completed, they would be going to market at regular rate, is that correct? >> there are certain protectionses for the three tenants that are remaining in the building and they're subject to rent controlled protections. that would be for the rent board. but in terms of, yes, for the three that are vacant, when those are returned to the rental market after all the construction, those would be at market rate as any unit that is vacated in the city that is subject to rent control returns to market rate when it's vacated. then once the tenant occupies that, they are afforded rent control protectionses in the terms of the amount that the landlord can raise the rent every year. so, those units will all remain

mr. mooreused to open the gun safe and the governor of the great state of new jersey heard about it and taking action. and sent a letter to the attorney general and reads in part, the public reports of this matter raises troubling questions surrounding the facts and circumstances of the investigation and the manner in which the investigation was conducted and procedures followed by law enforcement and the division of child protection. accordingly i'm requesting that you open an inquiry into this matter to determine whether all appropriate laws were followed and take any reimmedia reimmediateive actions or other action that might be required. let not your heart be troubled. greta greta is standing by to go on the record and we'll see you back here tomorrow night. >> greta: tonight, this will send you into orbit. the irs paying thousands of your tax dollars on "star trek." you have to see this to believe it. >> seeing the voyage of the starship enterprise. never ending mission to force changes, t

commissioner moore. >> mr. smith, would you perhaps help us explain the issue about the kitchen? i've never been asked to consider a building in approval of family housing which happens to lack a kitchen. and since eating is an essential part of how we live, it should most likely occur within the same envelope we do everything else, particularly since the dwelling unit is now the primary place for the larger number of family members to live. i'd like to get some guidance relative to the last statement the applicant made, that he would have to go through a dwelling unit declassification [speaker not understood]. >> the project owner, sponsor is correct. the project went out for notification, had the new kitchen in the new building. i was -- i was subsequently advised that that constitutes the dwelling unit removal. i'm the zoning administrator so therefore the kitchen had to remain in the building at the back of the lot in the existing building. so, this is kind of a situation where kind of like maybe the process has gotten in the way a little bit. >> well, if that is the case, th

mr. chairman, an amendment offered by ms. moore to protect our vulnerable. >> the gentlelady is recognized for nine minutes. >> thank you so much, mr. chairman. you know, it's always great to serve on the budget committee and it's oft repeated mantra is that budgeted are -- budgets are statements of morality and our principles. i was really happy to see, starting on page 27, that we had a section called safety net strengthened. now, you can't make this stuff up, so that's why i have to read it here. i go to the second paragraph. it says empowerment is a powerful alternative to dependency. and recent history offers a guide to policymakers seeking to repair the safety net. and it goes to talk about how bipartisan efforts in the 1990's transformed cash to welfare by encouraging work, saying that we ought to use that as a model for other means-tested programs. and then it goes back to paragraph one, third sentence, that says, yes, poverty rates are the highest in a generation. over 46 million americans live below the poverty line. so i

caller: good morning, c-span2 good morning, mrs. moore. guest: hi, tim.aller: i want everybody to work together and deal with the senate and house committee. there is americans all across the nation -- i live in poverty. i am from by chicago. i was in indiana. i worked for manufacturing, a work all across the united states. the thing is there is too many suits and ties walking around. obama has a vision for this nation. and i'm a white guy. i have been in the hood, so to speak. deals with the budget committee, and you being a person on the budget committee -- we need to cut the frivolous spending, where the lobbyists just go ahead and do what they want to do and just keep blowing money. guest: well, you know, tim, thank you for your call. the overall, it is sort of amen with regard to your comments. we all do want to work together it is embarrassing to be a member of congress and you are with intelligent people and most of us have experience working in the world and many of us have advanced degrees and specialties. we have even got a rocket scientist in c

mr. moore: this is an austerity plan and -- ms. moore: this is be a austerity plan and an inequality plan. this republican budget. and i want people to behold the plunder of suckling babes, the young, elderly, the infirm, omen, community of colors by $810 billion cuts in medicaid, $135 billion in snap. it is not humorous to me. and i want you to beware of the claims that we're going to grow our economy by ending 750,000 jobs, by pillaging pill grants and cutting off educational opportunities to students. this is not a balanced budget, this is a budget blunder which plunders us into a double-difficult re-- double-dip recession. ben bernanke warns against these kinds of severe austerity cuts. if you don't believe him, take the word of playedow. he said, -- plato. he said, in a state which is desireous from being saved from the greatest of plagues, there should exist among the citizens neither extreme poverty nor again excessive wealth, for both of productive of great evil. so we plunge poor people into poverty and give $245,000 tax br

mr. moore continued in his letter, one parent described having to tell her son that he was no longer welcome at the white house. the word sequester doesn't mean anything to this student. first lady michelle obama said that the white house is our house. well, it doesn't feel like it any more. mr. speaker, laneer students from texas are not alone. thousands of students nationwide are gearing up for spring break, the cherry blossom festival are a few weeks away. these trips require planning, time and, yes, even money. bake sales, car washes, parents work were off of all involved so kids could come to washington to tour the white house, but the president unfortunately has punished the people for the sake of a few nickels. perhaps the white house forgot what the first lady has said which is posted on the homepage of whitehouse.gov, quote, this is really what the white house is all about. it's the people's house. well, mr. speaker, if this is true, the president should take the padlocks off the white

commissioner sugayav commissioner moore has another -- >> mr. baker, could you answer one question? if your combination of tiles are set products or were you creating the shades? >> [speaker not understood]. >> which would choose a custom color? >> that kind of middle gray. and we'll work on that with -- it's a brick tile. it's glazed, low fire. so, yeah, we'll work on that and mock it up. >> thanks. >> commissioners, on the motion to approve with conditions, with the motion corrected by deputy city attorney and the choice of the darker color. commissioner antonini? >> aye. >> commissioner borden? >> wried. >> commissioner hillis? >> aye. >> commissioner moore? >> aye. >> commissioner sugaya? >> aye. >> commissioner wu? >> aye. >> and commission president fong? >> aye. >> so moved, commissioners, that motion passes unanimously 7 to 0. and places you on items 16 a and b for case numbers 2012.1093ddv for 1521 - 1531 jones street. request for discretionary review and variances. >> good evening, commissioners. mark luellen planning department staff. i'm here presenting an abbreviated di

mr. schrader aye. ms. moore aye. mr. mcdermott aye. mr. chairman no. mr. chairman, on that boat the ayes are 16, the noes 22. >> are there other amendments? it is closed, i apologize. had he been present, you would have voted aye. i apologize. mr. blumenauer? the clerk will report the amendment. let's ask unanimous consent that the role of the previous vote be open and record the vote as aye. mr. blumenauer has an amendment at the desk. >> mr. chairman, an amendment offered by mr. blumenauer, an amendment related to transportation. >> thank you, mr. chairman. we have had some spirited debate about the national budget deficit. one area that we really have not addressed is a threat, i think, that is affecting all of our communities. i think each of us have heard about it. that is the infrastructure deficit. it is no secret that the american society of civil engineers has been doing its by- your scorecard of the status of america's infrastructure. it finds it is repeatedly declining. over $1.50 trillion that is required just to bring things up to standard. we

moore. >> i think it's very important for us to hear comments made by mr. vad el in terms of brannan street. what i would like to add here is while i'm not sure each of the comments he made are applicable. i believe this particular legislation has it's currently requires more technical detail that is to make sure that sign is an integral part of buildings which is prior to any sign ordinance considered are indeed an exception and there are quite a few of those buildings however they might not be changing owner use so quickly. the others are extremely important and the one thing the question that has not been answered to me is the following: copy and topography. copy is letters, topography which is specific to the sign in which the building was created. particular in prior to 1970 before computers were not able to so many type faces, there was a certain type of topography which was designed that was very clear when you hear signs he talked about. i'm not saying we need to replicate exactly the time period in which the copy we are replacing needs to repeat. b

moore: thank you, mr. chair. i'd like to ask unanimous consent to be able to revise and extend my remarks. the chair: without objection, so ordered. ms. moore: well, thank you so much to the gentleman from virginia for yielding me time. it's really my privilege to discuss the jobs program that is at the heart of the congressional black caucus budget. the congressional black caucus does acknowledge that while we must address our debt and an cits in the short run, austerity budget, as republicans proposed, hurts our economy rather than helps. we proposed a comprehensive jobs plan paid for proudly with the largess in the revenue that the rich has seached and tax reform measures that will propel our economic recovery for everyone, not just the halves, improve the economic competitiveness and provide opportunity for communities who have not reaped from the economic resurgence. it includes a $100 billion investment in a job creation program, estimated to create two million jobs directly as well as another 800,000 jobs i

moore: thank you so much, mr. speaker. thank you, mr. luetkemeyer. i would love to take this time, and i would yield myself such time as i may consume. the speaker pro tempore: the gentlewoman is recognized. ms. moore: i would love to express my appreciation to my original co-sponsors of the bill, chair rim tuss of the financial services committee, spencer bachus, for his support and my other co-sponsor and friend on the committee, representative hinojosa. i believe a community based flood insurance option may eventually provide a cost-saving option for communities within the larger framework of the overall national flood insurance program. the potential for savings and community empowerment certainly merits a study. now as mr. luetkemeyer has indicated, this bipartisan bill has passed in various forms, the latest being in the 112th congress as h.r. 6186 last september, 364-11. this is no -- this is nothing new. and i would submit that we should support it here today. this approach has merit because it potentially has -- its potential lower rates are

moore: thank you so much, mr. speaker, and i thank the gentleman from michigan. i want to associate myself with all of the members from the distinguished ways and means committee who have tried to explain to the majority authors of this bill that the waivers are narrowly offered and do not allow states to alter their work requirements. these waivers would only be granted only to those states who prove that they can quantitatively increase the number of their welfare beneficiaries who find and keep jobs. this waiver is in keeping with the republican mantra of states' rights and allowing them to be flexible. so we have heard a lot of hyperbole and exaggeration about what this does, and i think that really keeps -- is in keeping with what we have heard about welfare reform since 1976 when ronald reagan trotted out the welfare queen, the woman wh had 80 names, 30 addresses and an annual income of $150,000, when you count medicaid and food stamps, and who drove around in a cadillac. so it's difficult to get people to listen when as political scientists have said that

commissioner moore, you had -- >> the dr applicant was trying to add a comment when i talked about the rear cottage. they had an agreement [speaker not understood]. perhaps that could be communicated to mr. smith so that it is indeed properly put to record. >> okay. >> thank you. >> seeing no public comment, the meeting is adjourned. [adjourned] >> if you haven't had a chance to see the stadium and the wonderful progress so far. it's absolutely breathtaking. also as a great symbol of hope on the regionalism that we all hope that we can be engaged for event for the future. today we talk about solidarity around the super bowl. there is no greater place to have it here than in this valley. we have the very best weather and we have the very best people and company's to support the event. i know that anyone that comes to santa clara will be excited and everyone will have a wonderful time. between golden gate and silicone valley, we can't be beat. i'm thrilled to have you here today. i would like to turn it to our partner, the mayor of san francisco. >> thank you for bringing us altogether. thank you for your leadership, thank you for your leadership. i'm down here to join the other mayor's a

commissioner moore, you had -- >> the dr applicant was trying to add a comment when i talked about the rear cottage. they had an agreement [speaker not understood]. perhaps that could be communicated to mr. smith so that it is indeed properly put to record. >> okay. >> thank you. >> seeing no public comment, the meeting is adjourned. [adjourned] (applause). >> remember this so years later, some years ago i got this award, congressional -- freedom award, i got it from the then-speaker of the house, a guy named dick army. i went back there, i went into his office and in walks nancy pelosi, she says mr. leader, i believe this is the first time i've been in your office. i said, it takes joe marshal to bring democrats and republicans together. here she is. >> thank you very much, joe. ordinarily i wouldn't mind hearing joe marshal say some nice things that are on this piece of paper but the fact is we've come to hear from all of you. it's an honor to be here at the omega boy's club. it started right about the time i went to congress, about 26 years ago, over 25 years ago. joe marshal is way up there on mount olympus, one of the gods, one of the real people who does the most important work, h

moore, is recognized for five minutes. >> thank you so much, mr. chairman, and thank you for appearing and tolerating this long testimony. i have a couple of questions for you. one of the consequences of our almost defaulting on their debt and the whole debt crisis, raising the debt limit, was we saw a lot of chatter around the world about abandoning the u.s. dollar as reserve currency. and i'm wondering, which outlook is -- what your outlook is on the economic growth or contraction of our economy were that to occur and we would lose our status that the u.s. dollar would lose its status as reserve currency? >> let me say first i do see any sign that's happening. the amount of reserves held in dollars is actually growing, not shrinking. so i think that reserve currency status at least for the foreseeable future is very much intact. if we lost that it would probably have some effect on interest rates that we pay because we would have fewer holders for our bonds, and that in turn might have some impact on our economy. but again, i do think that this i

mr. cornyn:man, i wanted to come to the moore to pose a few questions to my colleague from kentucky. first to say that i admire his fortitude and his willingness to ask appropriate and reasonable questions of the administration on a matter of grave importance. this is no less important than our constitutional government itself. it does not give sole power to the administration to make decisions but recognizes that the congress is a coequal branch of government, and indeed we have important oversight responsibilities of the department of justice, the department of defense, and there isn't anymore delicate and important matter than the limitations placed on the government when it comes to dealing with our own citizens. so i would just -- i'd like to ask the senator from kentucky whetheres a aware of -- whether he's aware of some of these issues. first of all, shortly after president obama took office, the holder justice department declassified and released detailed previously top-secret legal memos attempting to explain the legal rationale for the enhanced interrogation program that th

moore giving a thumbs down. >> yeah, if we can please have mr. barnicle's attention back from spring training.ve a first look from "morning joe" "sports illustrated" will be out tomorrow with the pick for the world series the washington nationals defeating the tampa bay rays, the mid-atlantic cover will be steven strasburg our pitcher as mr. october. >> you know, that's not a bad match-up in the fall. >> yeah? >> the nationals versus the rays. the blue jays are good too, but you've got to play 162 games, i would say in the national league, the odds on favorite. that's a very good team they've got going down there. it's unfortunate that 90% of their fans have no idea what's taking place in the field because they just started showing up about two years ago. >> wes is an orioles fan. they'll be tough this year. >> every year everyone says they're going to be third place and we say play the games. >> not only that, not enough has been said in terms of praise for the job that they have done in baltimore in the shadow of the washington nationals, they have built an emerging contender. >> absolutely.
