and our ongoing plan can youxv for increasing this amount to 28 acres within the next eight years. so, this is not the beginning or the end, but we're in the midst of what we're trying to do. but as you know, you heard from all the other speakers, providing open space is a very expensive undertaking. in the past 13 years, the port has spent approximately 109 million on public spaces. and we've been able to do this, as you heard various sources of funding, but we want to acknowledge in particular today the tax payers of san francisco that have passed the two general obligation bonds in 2008 and 2012 that have made our open space programs possible. and our partnership, as i said earlier, with our local, state, and federal agencies. this important project is also about our bay and everybody mentioned the important part in terms of addressing the seawall and addressing the sea level rise in the future. so, we hope to use this park to educate people about how active our bay and tides are with tidal columns that illustrate tidal change we experience each day. the change that can go up as

of that amount 336 229 are ongoing savings and 157,4 48 are one-time savings that would still allow an increase of 5,61 1,6 06 dollars or 3.2% in the department's 13-14 budget. ~ in addition, we recommend closing out prior year unexpanded general fund encumbrances which allow the return of 125,395 of the general fund. so, those two amounts result in a total savings of 619,0 72. in fiscal year 13-14 to the city's general fund. ~ our recommended reductions total 336,229 in 14-15. of that amount savings would still allow an increase of 6.4 million or 3.6% in the department's fiscal year 14-15 budget and we will be glad to work with the sheriff and we can report back to the committee. >> thank you very much, mr. rose. colleagues, any questions for mr. rose at this time? or for the sheriff? okay, thank you very much for being here. we look forward to seeing you next week. >> good to see you, thank you. >> okay, colleagues, we have our final department, adult probation. >> can i say last but not least? >> there you go. >> good afternoon, supervisors. mr. chair and supervisors, my name is wen

so we'll continue on an ongoing basis to make sure those people connect and the wisely

savings and 210,90 4 ongoing savings. these reductions would still allow an increase of 10,2 41,733, or 3% of the department's 14-15 budget. and we will certainly work with the department in the ensuing week and report back to the committee. ~ >> thank you very much. chief, anything else to add at this time? >> no, thank you very much. >> okay, thank you. up next we have department of emergency management, ann crone enberg. thank you for your patience here. ann is not next in line, went to pick up her grandson. so, we're going to get moving. >> also included would be item number 9. >> could you call item 9, thank you? >> item 9, ordinance amending the police code to transfer administration of the police emergency alarm ordinance from the department of emergency management to the tax collector and clarify license renewal and appeal procedures. >> good afternoon, chair farrell, members of the budget and finance committee. thank you very much for having us today. my name is ann crone enberg, i'm executive director of the eme

at the same time on an ongoing basis, we need more of our city employees who work for our city living right here to take advantage of. that's why i'm proud of supervisor farrell who led the effort with supervisor avalos and others to make sure that our first-time home buying programs are programs for down payment assistance are working well and working to get more of our city employees to live in our great city. i'd be the first to say we haven't done everything that we can possibly do. even though i know there's some 42,000 units under construction already in our city already permitted and whether they're here along mid-market or they're in hunters point or they're in treasure island or in park merced, and i think we've done well to get a lot of projects going. we have to also deal with affordability. and that was my link to the success of the city, that while we become more successful, we're not leaving anybody behind. we're a city for the 100%. and we want everybody who wants to live here being able to be here. and in particular, those that we want to be here are going to help us r

the operation is still ongoing for the next several hours. brian? >> twitter has a lot of news from egypt. >>> a newly revealed delay in obama care, another full year until the government limits out of pocket costs for health coverage a report in the "new york times" explains how federal officials have delayed a provision in the law to cap the amount for co-payments. under the new changes that won't go into effect until 2015. patient advocate groups said that the delay will have a significant impact as some insurers will be allowed to set higher costs throughout the next year >>> cory booker took a major step toward becoming new jersey's next senator. with booshg won a clear majority. >> they say that i -- that say that we are being naive. to them i say, have you ever met us? do you know where i have been working for the last 17 years? do you know that -- do you know that this is newark, new jersey? and we don't do naive. >> booker now faces steve lonegan. and gearing up for the october special election. >> mayor cory booker has been elected. he's b

big ongoing story in russia the way catastrophic flooding in russia's far east in fact has put more than a hundred. thousand people at the risk of losing their homes in the worst such disaster in more than a century is happening in this area here at the moment nearly twenty thousand people have already been evacuated to safety but that was expected to rise with heavy rains likely to last until september those floods have hit more than one hundred twenty villages with locals being moved to shelters for food and medical care much of the surrounding countryside submerged with the damage currently estimated at sixty million dollars he's pulled scott reports from the scene of the deluge. with the water levels in some parts of the region having risen seventy two centimeters on saturday alone the evacuations are continuing the worst case estimates suggest that one hundred thousand people may be forced to leave their home however it is hoped that the final number will be substantially lower now the worst hit areas of the remote rural villages such as this one damage to infrastructure such as com

so hosne mubarak will be back before the court to hear that ongoing trial. now his house arrest incidentally was ordered by the country's prime minister acting as the deputy military commander. this makes clear that the house arrest has been ordered in terms of the state of emergency regulations. it is not clear whether the place of his house arrest is being determined at the same stage. we understand that this is something that the lawyers are discussing in the course of the morning at the tora prison. >> so perhaps the suggestion that how this all looks, what is the reaction in egypt at least? >> the public reaction has been to a degree muted. interestingly enough, the so-called youth movement that has spearheaded the demonstrations that ultimately led to the military takeover of the democratically elected government they have released a statement saying it is the morsi government that has to accept responsibility for the fact that mubarak is now facing release. they say the morsi government didn't pursue the case enough, and calling for the courts to purs

[indiscernible] the secretary has spoken to [indiscernible] can you address whether or not the department thinks that canceling an exercise that has not happened since 2009 is any motivator at all, do you think, for the egyptian military? >> if i could, i would go to your question for me first. as you know, the comments made by the president resulted in an impact in the cases that were ongoing and the judges involved. as a result, we believed it was necessary, as the secre

whethenow to an ongoing issue oe nsa. it has been the subject of controversy since the lakes of edward snowden which demonstrated the agency was spying on american citizens and breaking court order drills to do so. in a new interview, president obama said this over -- about the oversight of the nsa. >> what was learned was nsa had in it ridley, -- inadvertently pulled the files of americans in violation of their own rules. they presented those problems to the court. the court said, this is not going to cut it. you will improve the safeguards and this is what happened. >> note how president obama the rule violations were accidental. this account ridley contradicts a statement the nsa has made. it said, " rare instances of violations of authority have been found" so not all of these violations were accidental. the president was right when he said fisa courts demanded it makes changes to its surveillance program. "the guardian" has a story about efforts to wring nsa into compliance with court orders. using new leaks from edw

any new developments will be introduced, that is not clear at this particular stage but it is an ongoingrocess that could last a few minutes, just to register the fact that there were new charges filed or some other process within the court proceedings but not clear just how long that will last but it is, as i said, the sixth session of this trial of hosni mubarak on those charges of insightment. >> and how important is it, mike, and what is the public perception around mubarak now? >> well, the public reception has generally remained unchanged. when he is released from prison, it was ordered by a judge on the grounds that he had spent longer than the allowed two-year period awaiting conclusion of the trial, there was a muted public reaction. there was an awareness that he is still facing charges on a number -- in a number of legal proceedings, and this trial, which is resuming today, is just one of a number of separate trials that mubarak is a part of. and so for the public, it is, in a way, business as usual. the former president is back in court. he is facing charges that could carry

their weapons are deployed, they are fighting an ongoing conflict. >> they are doing that, and they areing that conflict. there's been talk here, dell in lebanon of hezbollah elements that have crossed the border and gone to fight for the assad regime and others that fight on the other side all pulling back militarily in terms of personnel so that they're not in harm's way should there be a strike. yes, it could be one that perhaps has great effect in terms of hardware, but probably a minimal effect in terms of the individuals active on the ground there. they'll be well out of harm's way. it's believed before anything actually takes place. >> david jackson on the ground in beirut, some 65 miles away from the syrian border. david, thank you for being with us this morning. >> there are voices within the u.s. congress on both sides of the aisle on the intervention issue. joining us now is representative gregory meeks here from new york. he is a member of the house foreign affairs committee, canningman, thanks for being with us this morning. >> good to be with you. >> when might we expect a
