on our programs. but basically we have our programs for our city are divided into 4 areas. civic operations, we have two graffiti removal vans that clean graffiti on our civic property alone. we do enhanced clean up, we have a contractor that does some additional clean up on city property as well as the clean up that's done by operational departments in the city. and interdepartment coordination is key. we have an operations department, operations committee that's made up of representatives from all the operations areas in the city and through that we coordinate all of our clean up on city infrastructure and we have all of our complaints come in through 311, which is the recording for the city of edmonton for all -- any complaint, recreation sign up, anything comes through 311. but we do manage our calls through that service. we have 4 seasonal bylaw officers that are dedicated to graffiti enforcement. this is -- yeah? >> how many people live in edmonton? >> there's about a million people in edmonton there's about a million. we have 4 seasonal officers that work only on graf

which acknowledge that we will also look of the next fiscal impact of the proposed project areas on the city's general fund so not just looking at the economic benefit it also looking at the actual impact to the general fund. we are also making three other amendments to the guidelines. one restates the board of supervisors will review project specific and infrastructure finance plans. and the second, is it the board of supervisors may request more frequent nexus analysis in instances where specific project may create significant impact on city services for example every five years rather than every 10 years with respect to specific projects on the services that are demanded and is really came from concerns about impacts to specific projects like the proposal and on pier 30-32. 10 years maybe too long on nexus analysis. mr. benson, from the port, you're here to answer questions . i don't know if you would like to add anything to my comments. i want to make a motion to make that amendment to the actual resolution. the amendments of the guidelines are already in place so i wanted to read that so

or more drinking fountains there should be one with each fixture installation and the third technical amendment which was brought to my attention by the city attorney and given that the legislation took a while to get here and the date would come before the effective date and that we strike the references to the operative date and specifically on page four lines 20 and 31 and there is the standard effective date for which the ordinance will be effective 30 days from the date of passage so those are simple technical amendments to adopt but mr. chair if we could go to public comment. >> thank you. do we have any public comment? there are no public comment cards. any member of the public would like to comment? seeing none public comment is closed. so i guess you moved several technical amendments. can we take those without objection? so ordered. and president chiu is there a motion to forward to the board with recommendations. >> i would like to make that motion as i said before there will be additional legislation, hopefully we're introducing in the next few weeks and limit seals of water bottleos city facilities and on city property but we

was going to note, director heinicke noted, the 2013 biennial report to measure residents opinion on city services including muni. overall residents gave city government a b minus grade and providing services that for the first time since the start of the survey in 1997 the majority of residents said local government is doing a good or excellent job; trending well generally as a government. consistent with prior survey trends comments about muni and public consultation outnumbered the percentage of comments offered in relation to any of the service area. as we know everybody has opinions about muni and public transportation. the satisfaction with muni increased, with most grades going from c to c plus, fares was the best with b minus, lowest was cleanliness. skip a little -- i guess the point is -- one other thing, 57% of residents used muni or other public consultation on a weekly basis and 9 out 10 right friends at least once a month. muni touches a lot of people. there were some variations to geography, i have asked the controller if you could give us a little bit of finer grained deta

only 10 percent of our graffiti in those neighborhoods was observed, was on city infrastructure. other government considered 19 percent and of that 97 percent was on canada post boxes like they are the drop boxes that the mail carriers use for picking up their mail to deliver. they are being phased out, though, so again within the next year or so, those boxes are going to be phased out in edmonton so we'll see if it makes a change in graffiti results. but it also assists us in terms of how we approach them. so we take this information to canada post and basically say, get rid of the gray boxes. so, conclusions. edmonton's method for auditing graffiti vandalism is unbiased and effective as far as we've been able to determine. we use the results to work with the edmonton police service to determine our other services. the graffiti index and intensity index allow for specific locations within the neighborhood. we found we had significant results over the first year, in terms of the decrease 42.7 percent and while we have leveled off this year, we are confident that by analyzing the n

city. and some of the other things you're seeing on the map is the approved businesses, the businesses are currently doing business in the city. one of the things we said once we started visualizing on the map the slow and more rapid growth of residential -- residential property in soma and then in 2011 you just saw obviously a huge residential boom in the downtown area. so, we've just actually -- we're a company in southern california. we just relocated up here, small little office in san francisco, trying to better understand the community moving at a fast pace here. part of doing that is working with the city and better understanding how we can support open data. so, thank you.

city. chad, how did this storm event happen? what exactly was going on in oklahoma city to create this tornado? >> about two hours ago there wasn't a cloud in the sky. that sounds like a great thing, but in fact it's not, jake. when you don't have clouds in the sky, the sun heats the ground rather quickly. there was humidity everywhere from yesterday's storms and just from the gulf of mexico. that humidity and hot air wants to rise. as it rises you get the towering cumulus. that was all the way down to duncan and northwest texas. now as the storms continue to develop, this is a supercell storm we call them. all by itself, not in a big line, one supercell storm with a very large we'll call it a wedge tornado on the ground, we're seeing power flashes left and right now. this is north of new castle, crossing the h.e. bailey, eventually crossing the i-35 into moore. moore very familiar with very large tornadoes, as the f-4/f-5 tornado rolled through that city years ago. you need to take cover now. you need to get inside, get out of your car, knock on somebod

in 2002, and moved over to the sentences the city attorney's office where i worked on the trial team doing trials for the city, handling my own cases, and supervising a team of attorneys as well. >> why did you choose to live in san francisco? >> i always assumed i would go back to the philadelphia area since that is where my family is. i was always interested in san francisco in terms of what it is as a city, its culture, it's amazing lgbt community. i came out here for a summer, fell in love with it. i have been interested in politics since i was a kid. i worked on campaigns as a teenager. i was involved campaign against senator jesse helms when i was in college. when i cannot hear, and was not initially involved politically. -- when i came out here, i was not initially involved politically. i helped to build the lgbt community center. i started doing campaigns. i gradually got involved in democratic party politics. i got involved in the alice b. toklas democratic club. i ran for the democratic central committee in 2004. i ended up sharing the committee. it was a gradual process for

i heard earlier on they had warnings in oklahoma city. the whole state really is under a tornado watch, but as you can see, this is live. happening -- we have a chopper in the air from one of our affiliates bringing us this incredible video. this is a very large wedge tornado, and they don't classify it as a tornado until it actually touches the ground, but you can see in the distance that we might see a little bit of debris, which would tell me that this tornado has touched the ground, and you can see that there is farmland here, and some of the damage reports that we have gotten in some of these populated areas. so, unfortunately, we knew this was coming. this is tornado alley. it is the middle of may. and this type of thing happens. but in this age of cell phone video, and storm chasers, we are bringing this video to you live as it happens. and fortunately enough, yesterday people saw these images on their television screens and i think it helped people react and take cover immediately. so, tornado warned storm in and around this area o

can people put pressure on city leaders to get going on this? >> reporter: the city council members tell me this will be a matter of pressure. they are actually submitting their own budget proposals at this time and they include funding for these two individual programs. so really it is going to be a matter of the public voicing it concern for these programs not being available. >> kristen ayers in oakland tonight. thank you. >>> in another effort to make sure kids stay safe. tonight police in east palo alto are cracking down on curfews. kit doe details the effort. it looks like these young people have an hour left to get home before the cops get involved. >> exactly. school is out and so that means a lot of kids will be in the streets and getting into trouble late at night. there will be ten officers on the street. that is twice the normal number they have. all these young kids will get scooped up and brought here to what is basically curfew central. >> usually parking lots like this tend to attract them. that's where we had to stop the other ni

not only that's correct but we put every volunteer on our city's workers' compensation program, every single one. so, if there was a problem they were covered under the city's workers' comp program. and we had zero claims. and then we also inherited an antilitter program. we had over 14,000 antilitter volunteers. they weren't using the chemicals or anything like that, but we had same thing, no problems, no complaints, no liability issues at all. and we only gave solvent to adults. we didn't give solvents to any minors. and we made sure that the solvents that we gave were going to be ones that, number one, could do the job, but -- number one, was safe if they got the right training and number two, could do the job that we needed to have done. it worked out great. so. >> [speaker not understood]. >> hold on a second. let me come over here so you can restate the first part of your question again if i could get you to stand up and we'll talk to the san francisco police department here. >> first part of my question was perhaps more urgent. we represent this table, and over here oakland cal

it is one of many social projects here. little by little, the city is becoming a safer place to live. things are also improving economically. one reason for that is the massive infrastructure investment in projects such as the famous cable cars. they link the city center with the poorer areas in the surrounding hills. the residents of the outer suburbs have been neglected for years. reaping the benefits of government spending. there are new services such as schools and libraries. the development here has become an inspiration for many other cities in latin america. >> in some areas, there is still a high rate of violence, but every year, we gain a lot of territory. in 2012, the murder rate fell by 25% compared to the year before. there are not many cities in the world that can say that. >> but the fight against organized crime continues. in some areas, drug dealing is still a part of everyday life. for the city's youth, it can be a dangerous place to grow up. >> drug dealer so and so will come and recruit young people, including former paramilitary f

and so, to have this energy, and this vision to build something out on the other edge of the city. and already for me shows what kind of a man he must have been. and as you know, he not only build the bath and the cliff house, he even later on, he added a railway line from what i understand there was one. but he thought it was too expensive so he bought a second one which was going out from the city center, i think about eight miles to land, and to cliff house. to bring people there. and so, i finish with this. i think that all that he has done shows the wonderful entrepreneurship that he stands for and that characterizes especially jewish germans, who contributed so much to my country's development. unfortunately, as we all know, it took a very tragic turn. but he stands for those people that he would make enormous contribution to germany's development. and he came here and he made enormous contribution to this city's development and i think that the fact that he became mayor, also pays tribute and shows the spirit of this great city. it already to me shows the diversity that chara

on women and the status of their businesses. this is what we do. we want small business to help us in making sure that when we have all this opportunity this city is abundant with opportunity yet we're not always able to receive that for these businesses because one, no funding. two, private development. we can have an agreement but there is no real participation after that, so help us with this, and make recommendation and direct us to do a better job. you can help us with the departments. they shy away from this and use the tools that are there and the micro set aside program was talked about and it can help businesses that are women, small and local business to have an opportunity with the city. it's not often used. i have been watching the city opportunity list and within five days i saw five projects under $50,000. should have been set aside. was not but it was public advertised and then they used key words like "mandatory [inaudible] meeting." now that's a barrier for some of our business and when you go you don't make money. you spend money showing up cost you money, so we need to watch those unnecessary barriers and we need your help in hel
