we have a situation where something was referred to an ethics commission in another jurisdiction or city or county? >> oakland. >> okay. >> and it is not the possibility of it. sni. we have done it for another jurisdiction and that is the current process. >> have we communicated with the district attorney to find out if he would be receptive to taking on that task? >> no, it is again in the ordinance, mentions them as appropriate agencies of referral. if they were to reject it, then the complainant has nowhere to go and i am wondering if there is any way that we could give any assurance to the public that if they feel that they have a complaint, that they are going to get a hearing by someone. >> we would need to do the work on something like that. >> could we ever get assurance? >> filing a complaint does not assure you that you are going to get a hearing. there has to be merit. >> if the typical practice is not to take these up, then, i don't think that we can do anything to change that behave or. >> i agree. >> can we have them play a different role in determining the permit of the co

how does the city feel about x or y. it's very clear and transparent. currently our lobbyist in sacramento is the firm shaw yoder antwee. communication with lead advocate paul yoder and provide input from other city department, city staff. while we do have single [speaker not understood] designated to be our key point of contact, we have multiple advocates from the firm working on myriad of issues. they cover every issue for us whether it be health care reform implementation, economic initiatives or environmental issues. our lobbyists will send us any news or information that they might have heard throughout their day in sacramento. and then i quickly field that information out to relevant departments. and then, of course, the situation happens where departments will receive news and information from their colleagues in sacramento and we ask departments to keep me, to keep the mayor's office in the loop so that we can direct our lobbyists most effectively. it's just information sharing. it's really key to ensuring we're all in the same message and advoca

it's not an impact analysis to ensure economic growth of the city or job growth. so in terms of a profile of city college students a. a. this is based on the last 2014 there were nearly 80,000 students. some of this is repeated after what supervisor mar has already said. the largest categories of students are the 20-24 age group and 50 and older age group. in terms of credit and non-credit courses, the younger students 20 years of age or less are mostly in the credit courses. many of these students are full time or near full time. older students are in the non-credit programs. about 1/3 of the students in the credit courses are receiving some form of financial aid. 3 percent of students are low income, meaning that their families are 150 percent of the federal poverty level or less. the estimate 30 percent are receiving some sort of financial aid based on criteria of family income, the number of students in college and cost of college. >> miss campbell, can you repeat that data on those students that rely on financial aid? >> okay, this is the for credit students.

also have a due process question in regards to the picture to the city and i understand completely that in situations where a candidate or a committee was not supposed to take a contribution they should not benefit from that, but instead of the money going to the city it should go back to the distributor. we would ask that possible have a city attorney on that and giving that it could have implications for a due process clause. >> and then the last part that we wanted to address was the disclaimer violation. and looking at the list of mitigating and aggregating factors one of the ways that the staff was going to go about it was doing an automatic five percent increase or decrease, but looking at this list of factors and absence of any intention to conceal should not have the same weight of evidence of intent to conceal and if we think that there should be, more of a totality and taking into account that there is no public harm in the violation. >> thank you. >> thanks. >> any further public comment? >> mr. st. croix? reaction to those comments? >> well, i think that we could probably also give on the turn around time. an

eaten page 3 line 12 i was going to ask for some clarity from this body or the city attorney on what this meant on the stay. so if you get a stay on payment if the board goes in favor whether it's registered or not registered that's the question i have >> president chiu. >> if i could ask the st. first of all, on the date on page 2 i don't think we're tending for everyday 2013 so i want to ask if there's a recollection was it 2013? >> not take i don't expect - unfortunately, i was here then horrible chair and committee members. that date is actually the date of what we call the other ordinances that set aside the proposition h lawsuit and basically amended a 50/50 split important the larger buildings etc. this provision required us within 5 most of the passage of those amendments to implement an outreach process which we have we have 6 contracts to do outreach around hardship. this just excuse me. as opposed to the effective date of this ordinance put february 2012 but we know what that date is. it doesn't change anything and so we're just assuming this requirement moves on. and then

one thing the city of san francisco or big cities or federal, right, the other smaller cities, smaller cities have smaller budgets. having a structure to support all this open data takes a lot of money. so, when these small cities are thinking about this, they should think about a way of somehow equalizing because they are putting into having these open data team, right? so, what does make sense? this is kind of an open question to get your point of view. >> do you want to take that, shannon? >> i think that there is actually quite ah few examples. we can probably talk to this more with smaller cities that are making open data efforts. but what i would say is that it's proven more than the value of the investment. the return that we've gotten just by opening up the data has actually given back more. so, that would be my short answer to it, but i think you probably have more experience working directly with some of the cities. >> so, i grew up in a small city so i care about small cities a lot, 15,000 people, southern illinois. i'm a card nastionv fan. -- cardinals fan. i should say tha

such a chasm since the gilded age well i also think you know we're going to get into whether or not those go cities are just centrally planned or actually millions and millions and tens of millions of chinese who have jobs were bringing them in income they have high savings rate where did they put all their savings but the other thing i look at it and it seems like it happened so sudden that the entire nation of the united states sent all of their wealth producing jobs to china so rapidly it was like a windfall it was like a lottery winner. that china became suddenly everybody had these amazing wealth producing jobs so they didn't know what to spend the money on and they also didn't have an advanced banking system like that the hundreds of years of banking system it across europe and then into america where you had hundreds of years of a banking system as stable banking system relatively stable where people had a place to put their savings and capital markets where china everything was thrust upon them so suddenly sent over as a free gift from the american worker but you know used to be were countr

and international market, how can taiwan become more and develop more niche comparing with other cities or countries in the neighborhood? that we can become more competitive versus, say, cities like hong kong, singapore, shanghai? >> it is a very hard question. as i mentioned, it is very competitive. it is not only nationally competitive, not only do we compete with our industry people or the same company with a similar industry, we also compete with another city. why it becomes so competitive is because in the past, not so many governments are really focused on this injury -- this industry. nowadays, almost every country in asia, philippines, indonesia, they are also getting up and choose a lot of business and government. it becomes more competitive. however, the one thing of the meeting industry that is for a good is because meetings rotate in different cities. they rotate in different countries. so it is good for our industry. for example, this meeting, they go to tokyo this year, we stop a chance to -- >> host a meeting next year. >> bring it into tie one for next year or the year afte

a new hub of connectivity or city bike programs or city planning. >> when cities become bike friendlylps local businesses. >> it's $129 to order the bike spike and mopping ly fees -- monthly fees cost $4 and 20 cents. >> a new platform for multiple potential uses that's why we think the bike spike could be the next great thing. >> say you lose your keys, your purse, computer, any valuable. there's an app for that. the tile app. and this is the tile. >> you can put it on anything that you want. then use your phone to search for it when it's nearby or you leave it behind. you'll be able to see it on the map. >> nick says it uses bluetooth low energy to wirelessly connect you to your stuff. >> if it's not nearby you can see the last place that you left it on a map. >> it's a concept that's been tried before but not quite like this. the team behind the focus are making these as easy to use as possible when you're looking for a lost item in a panic. >> take out your phone open the app select the item among your list and if it's nearby you can search for it. you can turn the speaker on the

we talked a lot about the different strategies we can use to promote a different city or country. how about some other strategies you can recommend? any interest in trying to promote tourism, having more visitors coming to your city, trying to show the local festivals and trying to get them identified with the local values that are so attractive to some of them very lax in terms of the marketing strategy, in the beginning, i usually like to ask who is your audience, who is your visitor, and this relates to the positioning questions. you position yourself and the local market or international market. before we really start, we can think about these kinds of questions. the most important part, not only in cultural estoppels, but commercial activities. we have to think about it it's not the only time. if we have the festival happening every year or regularly, how can we attract visitors to come back again? this is another issue we have to think about. innovation would be very important. every year, we have the same festivals, but how can we put the innovative elements into the festiva

in the area i felt it was important that the neighborhood and a city have the opportunity to review the input for any retail businesses or the relocation of new ones to make sure we're meeting the needs of the entire neighborhood. right now the city is currently undergoing a large review from with the goal of speedizing them. the planning commission has recommended a number of changes to this ordnance that makes it consistent with the regulations. i'd like to bring up mr. star who can talk about the committees recommendations. >> thank you, very much. good afternoon supervisors aaron star prosecute the planning vice president. the ordinance would create the third street reformation between third street and paul street are i have a map up. i don't know if i can depreciate it on the board. so between williams avenue here and paul avenue here is industrial zone property but north and south are neighborhood districts this would fill the gap. and as the commission found this is an unique stretch of industrial land between two neighborhood commercial districts and it serves as the third street corridor. this district will fill

the efforts around or city department. we have a lot of things that we are doing on a regular basis and we are trying to get out as much as possible to our families that need it the most. i this i that this initiative caused us to pause and to really stop and think about how many resources and services we are actually providing to the mission and how coordinated or uncoordinated those services are. it helps us to think about that too. marissa and i are working with other folks and department heads about services that we just deliver to families in general, not only families in need but middle class families just throughout san francisco. so this has been helpful for us to think about how services are delivered to our families. again, a deep hearted thanks to all of our partners and really looking forward to the growth of the school district and the community as one. gardener is going to start to look at outcomes and evaluation as we roll this out. july 1st was kind of our initiation into this and as supervisor kim said per

want to make it policy or if the sheriff wants to make it policy that's within the sheriff's prerogative but to remove all latitude and san francisco could become a destination city or a place seen as a safe haven for those with prior felony convictions and sex convictions and weapons convictions and it's one thing that the people in san francisco would be contending with the people outside and i don't believe that's in the best interest of public safety. >> i believe anyone in the justice system is held accountable through actions through the court system and the sheriff's department and we're just saying that we wouldn't be extending their time because we have a request from the federal government regardless of what their o fence is. i believe supervisor campos has remarks. >> thank you chief for being here. i hope you had a good summer. going back to this issue of public safety and i'm very mindful as the chief law enforcement official here in the city that has to be your top priority. it's my top priority too, but i think the whole point of this is making the distinction of the criminal justice system and this and it would be a mistake on support any system t

it's anning way to build a better way of transportation for or city. pressure the mayor to give muni the money it needs. we want in project to adhere to the goals standard brt as someone mentioned. we want this to be excellent, we want it to happen. thank you. i'm done before the dong. do i get [inaudible]. >> thank you very much. just want to note that you did go with us on a trip to mexico city to see the bus rapid transit system there and it was great to have you with us. thank you, next speaker please. >> my name's eric from rescue muni and we strongly support this brt, which we and all the people have been pushing for on all the corridors for years and years. thank you for the great job putting it together. we hope you'll vote for it and i appreciate the supervisor's concerns about anything that would slow the project or buses down. we would encourage you as commissioners and supervisors to crack the whip on some of these other brt projects which have really been waiting for these even longer. this one has been like lightening compared to some of

whose displayed internally still inside your country but not in your own home, not in your own town or city versus having to go to a camp and having to be in a camp outside of syria in a totally different country. >> that's a good question. if you're inside syria you're vulnerable to the ongoing violence. as a humanitarian organization our greatest hope to have people have their medes met not only inside syria but throughout the region. so people are in idp camps in syria, or if they're living-- >> idp, internally displaced. >> they're inside syria or if they're a refugee in any of the neighboring countries, that their needs are medicine. most importantly-- >> you know, libby, if i may interject it was really important, and we were shocked by this, how when we went into the camps and worked with these internally displaced people, and kids, that they felt that they mattered. we were coming alls way to america traveling to be there with them in this horrific situation day in and day out. that meant a lot to them. that really touched them. that's an important thing we need to touch upon as a w

there is also the danger that san francisco becomes a city that loses families because it may be cheaper or more affordable to live in daly city or down the peninsula or across to the east bay, so i think creating the will neighborhoods that are accessible and friendly to families, so the number of units that are built or the number of bedrooms and the types of units that are built. parking is going to be one of the other issues. i, of course, support san francisco being a leader, but i also see at times that people may need that car, especially if you have a family, to get your kids from treasure island, one of the developments in san francisco, instead of being isolated by being on the island. we have to look at trends and policies from a perspective also of the needs of families as well. >> let's talk a little bit more about transportation, specifically in your district. how is muni service? what about parking, traffic? >> san francisco's transportation system i believe has a lot of great qualities. we have good bustlines in our richmond district. i'm always looking at creating more effi
