this that mean no city -- it just freezes every city department from considering anything? so the office of workforce development or the planning department could not think about it? if you take the word consider it literally, thinking about it is considering. i do not agree with that interpretation. in the next subsection, it says the board may consolidate or coordinate its hearing on the appeal with other hearings on the project. that says to me that a non-eir related hearing could be consolidated with an eir hearing, which of course makes sense in terms of efficiency and not requiring members of the public to come down 25 times to testify. it makes sense to consolidate things. i understand your interpretation, but i would come to a different conclusion. but it is worth talking about. supervisor campos: if i may, through the chair -- i see the point that supervisor weiner makes. what i am saying is i think we should clarify the language. i do not think that the interpretation that i think is actually more consistent with the language is necessarily the right interpretatio

do you or the city attorney have any comment? >> there has been no decision and a decision would not be administered until this meeting is considered undecided. >> is there a requirement that would provide findings or is there a practice? >> there is language in the charter that says when the border returns, there should be findings made. it does not require separate written findings adopted at a separate time. there are many occasions when we will add -- the board will add language to the motion to clarify the basis for its decision which is findings we include in the decisions we issue. we kept this that 25 days. there would be no need for findings. >> that is right. >> also having stated their reasons, they -- the commissioners having stated reasons, that does not constitute implicit findings? >> each individual commissioner's reasoning would not necessarily represent the reasoning of the full board. that is why it is done through a clarification and. >> haven't had that discussion, i still feel the same way. i do not think anything was presented

in this city, victims are victimized on a regular basis. there is noce that people are taken who are like myself on a regular basis be up at the library. disabled people cannot use the bathroom. the people who have their jobs -- no, you cannot come in. i am not going to watch your car. you're just annihilated. then you are victimized at the next stop. with the paramedics. no cameras. violence by the paramedics. violence in the hospital. it does not matter. it is not happening to you. but it is happening to you. we are part, and we stand together. we have to use our resources properly. the people of this city our resources. the money given to us, throwing it down the toilet. it is unacceptable. it is un-american. it is astounding that the fabrics of the community of falling apart. there are new grass roots that are developing. there was the school house. there are wonderful, brilliant things to be engaged with and to be supported and rewarded. supervisor chiu: thank you. are there any other members of the public that wish to speak in general public comm

. >> there is no city. which one am i? >> not samantha. apparently i watched "sex in the city." i go back to "friday night lights." it also had struggles. it is a show about football, but it is not really about football. tavis: when you went in to pitch this, other than the fact that ray romano was with you, how did you sell this? >> we went to a bunch of other places, and we went to one network said said -- they liked the script. they enjoyed the script because they thought it was well written and about something, but one person said it was not loud enough. >> what does that mean? >> not enough car chases and sex and whatever and trauma. >> people have tried this before, a show about men talking, and the trap you fall into is you write it from that perspective. here is how men are, as opposed to write it about these specific characters, so we tried not to fall into that trap of here is how men behavior. we are trying to stick to these three guys and how their lives unfold. >> tnt -- michael is a man of a certain age, and he fell in love with the script. for them, i have got to

city. i want to reiterate what everyone has said. given that no one from the city has given us a reason or described any sort of problem with the health service board, there is absolutely no reason to include this in the package that you want to move forward. if there is no problem, there is no need to change it. unless there is an ulterior motive. that is my concern. i am here because i got an e- mail. i sat and listened. the thing that appalled me was that there are problems with money, i understand that. that part of the package i don't have a problem with. we all have a problem with changing something that is not broken. why change it? we feel this is only the solution. with that note, my wife and i also a retiree. we would like you to please delete this portion from the amendment. i just want to clarify on the contribution rate the when the employer pays less, the employees will also be paying less. i did not hear that, as one to make sure that that was included. thank you. >> any other members of the public that would like to comment, please

i want you to know that we understand that our city is no longer a stagnant city. it is a growing city, a city that's population is growing. companies want to come here. they want to employ our residents. they want to help us grow. so we have focused on what we can do to sustain those jobs and make sure our city is successful. we have our america's cup that is slated to occur here in 2013. what a wonderful opportunity to continue to make that event grow. it is no longer a national event. it is an international event and reminds us how much we are as an international city. we continue to embrace our local hire program. thanks to the before your supervisors, i am working extremely hard to make sure it is not just construction, but we have a spirit of local hire in every company that here. we have apprenticeships programs reflected in our budget that will allow our department of public works, our recreation and parks department, our environmental department to work together to make sure that we hire as many people as possible to fill our apprenticeship programs as we

city or in the private sector. i can send the caregiver's out there. i can make the same amount of money, but there will be no hra funds going into the city. i am asking you to take a look at what is going to happen. >> thank you very much. go ahead. >> our family has been in the sporting goods industry for three generations. we comply with health the san francisco. we have never had any problems, and i think it is very important to not focus on the restaurant business. and we are not able to raise our prices. if you want to come into our store and buy jordans, they are $100 all over the country. you are not going to be able to sell them at $111 in san francisco. we have 50 people signed up for a healthy seven francisco. they are all over -- all over 18. most of our employees has been with us a decade full-time common so they comply -- full time, so we complied. and really we have to enforce the laws we have, get everyone involved and make sure the city spends money to make sure everyone is getting the right to notifications and the right dollars a. if you get sick in january, we are fronting employees who ne

and it has also had an incredible impact on pensions for cities like san francisco. there's just no way of denying that, however unfair some of the politics to run the issue are. it is amazing how well the city functions and how strong it is financially. it is of equal concern to those of us who are city employees. we may have our differences, but there is no difference that we want as strong and functioning as the service as possible. it is with that spirit that unions after themselves into six months of extraordinarily hard work -- hard work. it is our opinion that is very fair and balanced, fair in terms of how much more the city is going to pay and how much more the city employees are going to be paid -- if i could have a minute? supervisor elsbernd: if you could just tell me how much more fair and balanced this proposal list? >> it is fair and balanced between high paid/low-paid, city employees you have not yet hired, and active city employees to have retired as we mentioned earlier, and in the future we will all share in the risk. it actually is as i see and experience what is

city. everywhere i go, i tell everyone that this is the atlantis of today. there is nother city in the world -- i have been everywhere. there is nothing like san francisco. in fact, to me, it is not even the united states. you can see how fox network always attacks us. we do not have an inferiority complex. we just do not follow blindly. we question authority. as i said before, a person for person, there are more artists and con artists in the bay area. >> you are someone who has identified so strongly with the bay area. a lot of it reflects the values that you also identify with. i know that you have been promoting an idea for a work of public art that could be pretty transformative. could you talk about that? >> peace brother is something that i saw, i think in the 1980's there was this lady. she started back there and converted -- she went to the neighborhood and was collecting the guns from some of the gang members. she had it melted and turned into angels. we want to do the same thing and take it to the next level we want to build a boom box by his feet, he will be

halt what i want to reemphasize a consensus proposal levels in the city leaders, business, community in the nonprofit [unintelligible] no matter what level of work you have in the city, we will contribute to the solution. we're seeking long-term reform in this proposal in the form of new and lower benefits that we have yet to hire and immediately relief in the form of current employees for the existing level benefits that we apply. it is important to show in this consensus plan that its comprehensiveness will be reflected in its ability to provide pensions biking, caps pension benefits, it raises the retirement age, it requires existing in the new employees to share health care costs. and it uses a sliding scale to protect lower wage earners of our employee group. if it does probably the most important thing that other pension plans you've been reading about the not do. a requires a greater contribution to the health trust fund. finally you have questions about the other plans. and i will say to you that the other plans that may be have been developed under closed doors and with smaller numbers of people have not had th

city and the municipality, ok? we got some showers here that need no where else. to -- we got some powers here that ain't nowhere else. we are a city and county. we are a consolidated neighborhood. we may have missed our opportunity to be a model for the redevelopment agency. one second, ma'am. 50% of the money has gone to affordable housing. we are not doing ballparks. this is the fact. we need that affordable housing. it need that for black people and people -- we need that for black people and people of color and so third-generation immigrants can live here. so, i am thinking that one of the things that we did do to deal with public safety, to deal with land use issues is to now start a commitment for jobs, housing. supervisor cohen: sharon -- >> lets make sure the twitter people are connected to creating affordable housing so people can afford to live and work here and give us their taxes. i want to thank you for tolerating the. because i have to get back to the union. my organization has not been funded in one year. so, i know what it means to live in these ti

you know -- i'm no big city detective, but why don't you just check inside your pants. where i believe you keep the item in question. >> reporter: weiner's claim he was hacked began to crumble when abc's chris cuomo revealed more photographs weiner sent to another woman. 26-year-old meagan broussard. >> just that it was hot, i liked to see someone who actually stood for something and was passionate about something. >> reporter: she began an internet relationship with him in april, complete with 100 pictures, including these. >> he was eager to hear if i wanted him or thought he was attractive or that sort of thing. >> reporter: that prompted another bizarre anthony weiner press conference, part confessional -- >> to be clear, the picture was of me and i sent it. i've exchanged messaged and photos of an explicit nature with about six women over the last three years. i haven't told the truth. and i've done things i deeply regret. >> reporter: part defiant. >> i'm not resigning. i never met any of these women. >> reporter: for days, weiner continued to dig in, pointing to
