with that, i should also add that we have had a successful pilot with the d.a.'s office as well, who runs a truancy court. it initially started off with looking at elementary school- aged families, who were again chronic and habitually truant, but then, we launched in may -- in may, they started a truancy court for the high school students, and we received 15 referrals and are still engaged in working with those young people even through the summer to insure that they are being gauged back in school, connected to us, and be engaged back in school when school starts next month. so i would like to turn the microphone over to my colleague, the director of the tarc center. supervisor dufty: if i could just ask, when school resumes in august, the tarc center itself, students will be brought to that center, and it will be open and operational? >> absolutely. supervisor dufty: one moment. commissioner mendoza. commissioner mendoza: thank you. can i just ask a quick question on the truancy corp. for high schools? there were 15 kids that were referred. can you explain tha

in addition to the pilot i.f.d. proposed for rincon hill, it is important that the new committee will taxed with the development of an i.f.d. for the whole eastern neighborhoodses. funding for this additional study should be identified in the short term by the committee. this is important because eastern neighborhoods has an existing infrastructure deficit that the city could address by establishing a larger i.f.d. for your information, the department continues to look for grant funds by the larger i.f.d. and may have access to other funds. number two, insure they study the long-term effects on the fund. as commissioner sugaya brought up, capturing an increment in new and increases in property values for the specific limit of a limited geographic area diverts funding that otherwise would have went to the entire city for larger services. a portion of this new increment is made possible through the zoning changes and other improvements that came out of the area plan. however, only a portion of the net increase in prop

that was launched late april through the end of the school year, and we targeted this pilot with two communities that contributed most to the chronic and habitual truant to population, and that was in bayview and the western addition, so with the baby station and the northern station in particular, and we then went out and did a lot of outreach to all the roll calls for both of the stations and talked with police officers. we have done outreach to the community resource centers, with a number of community-based organizations there in the schools, that a number of the young people participate in. and there are a couple of new members to the select committees, so let me talk a little bit about how this was intended to be operational and. we have discovered, and we have come up with a strategy where the police will go -- if they see young people hanging out the 20 hours of 9:00 and noon on any day monday through friday, they might approach a young person and ask him if they are supposed to be in school or why they not in school. if they will identify young people who are middle school o

i am happy to tell you that this pilot program going forward is one that is remarkable. it is one that finally allows these medallions to be purchased by qualified taxi drivers in an affordable way. the medallions will be priced and away where the in combat and the deleon holder gets for having -- priced in a way where the income that a medallion holder gets will be priced into the medallion. fire, federal, police, they have all come together and look at taxi drivers to qualify to purchase a medallion. the current system where medallions were given away for free to the waiting list will continue. those who are high up will still be able to get a medallion to have been there a long time. the people for their down on the waiting list will have the option to purchase. that will build equity in something where the biggest problem i have seen in the history of the board of appeals are people who have got medallions, waiting 20 years, 15 years, age 70, 80 years old, cannot meet the driving requirements and are doing whatever they can to hold on to that valuable asset. with thi

piece missing for eastern neighborhoods and that this pilot with the formation of the study to look at the outcome will better inform a secretary or third pilot and as we have seen, not a lot of development in the area at this time. i go like the fact that the i.f.d. is closing a gap or increasing the structure and the gap is pretty substantial and starts us in that direction and am not worried about the earmarking issue. and i have seen this at the state level and whether or not they do their problem and put it on the ballot and a tough budgetary cycles and infrastructure loses out. no one wants to repave a street or more bus service and aids patients or other things are much more tangible and human things that people are concerned with. you have to earmark infrastructure improvements and makes sense to have those and choose to tax themselves and derive that benefit from the choice of the taxation. and the study will better inform us the trade-off and to fund the infrastructure improvements and the shee is the issues we have discussed and look at and grapple with and that obviously

the way we are trying to address this is to try some pilot projects because the major -- to try to do it over a whole area is just too difficult. but if you try to do it for a particular part of an area, you do have to do it by persuasion and you have to do it by push as well. so i guess the mayor -- i don't know your systems as well as i know the systems in the uk, but there does have to be a top down push on this as well quite honestly to get everyone around the table. you get them around the table and say let's look at what if. how would it work if we worked together. particularly if you can bring in examples how it's worked in other areas. it is absolutely fascinating when you do this, you start with people who have very entrenched positions. i'll give you an example. one of the strategies we are looking at in the uk for the more extreme frequent events is to start to design highways as flood channels. interestingly, a lot of the design guidance we are picking up is from the u.s. so we are picking up your experiences and trying to adapt them to uk applications. our highway enginee

that will enroll any organization using the child safety pilot program. this was created in 2003 under the protect act. the program has been a proven and effective resource for protecting america's children. of of almost 90,000 background checks performed through the pilot program, 6% of volunteer applicants were found to have a criminal history of some concern. these included serious offenses such as sexual abuse of minors, assault, child cruelty, drug offenses and even homicide. since the inception of the child safety pilot program, over 42% of those with criminal histories had convictions in a state other than the state in which they were applying to volunteer. if the volunteer group had performed a search of state records many relevant criminal convictions would have never been identified. access to the national criminal data base is crucial to ensuring thorough background checks of the during a study of over 1,600 applicants, even though volunteers knew they would be subjected to a back ground check, 50% or more lied on their politicses about having

i received a letter dated july 27 from the airline pilots association international. wherein they say, the inappropriate use of widely available laser pointers against airborne flight crews, is a genuine and growing safety and security concern. a laser illumination event can at a minimum be an unwarranted flight crew distraction and in serious cases can even lead to eye damage and temporarily incapacitation. going on the airline pilot association international states that this legislation is greatly needed to ensure that such reckless and malicious activity will in fact be classified and prosecuted as a federal offense. we have worked the airline pilots association international states, with numerous federal law enforcement organizations over the past several years on this issue. and there is strong agreement that such crimes should be acressed by federal statute and not be -- addressed by federal statute and not be adjudicated solely by state laws. h.r. 5810 will also help put the public on notice that shining laser lights into aircraft cockpits is a serious offense
