they have a process where essentially they work with the pta and then they are issued a day-use permit. >> okay. and one more question. regarding at the valet component, valet operators obviously service hotels and restaurants and i saw the immediate closure of denial of a business to get a coa to the bond. prior to the bond coverage being expired or terminate at least the business operator services, restaurant xyz has an operator, and they are not being compliant. so the operator of the restaurant next day doesn't have valet sun affected. and is affected. is there any way to implement prior notification to the operator that their subcontractor is not going to be issued a coa through the bond issue? >> you are talking about how it currently is? >> yes. >> i would like to talk to you about situations where you feel there has been one-day notice for closure. i know that our parking enforcement folks do work hard and work overtime with operators in order to help them understand the obligations under the law. and i have not -- i'm not aware of any situation that you have one day's notice,

one is for example if he was running late and a pta meeting or five year old birthday at a play ground and he would arrive "did i miss the introduction of the elected officials". what? >> [inaudible] >> yeah. milton wanted to reform this process. god knows i don't know how someone could reform that process at this point although i wish they would. it's completely antidemocratic. the first idea was start with a political and get everyone to stand with every behind and instead each democratic club having a large questionnaire and like college essays and a list of questions to answer once and each club could pick two questions that spoke to its membership. i say this was very milton and excelled finding good ideas and make things easier for everyone and more democratic and transparent and finding ways to have a conversation and remove obstacles in the way. this is one i wish he could have finished but he got too sick to implement it. if anyone would like to take it up in his name i know many would be grateful. the next thing that was shocking for me is how ard douse it is and consuming fo

. >> this was a school fundraiser through the pta where the children walked laps and if they raised 12undred dollars i would sleep on the roof. >> is that his real robe? don't worry about him. he has a heater and a stuffed bear on the roof to keep him company. >> and he will need it. he will be there tonight. >> they put their lives on the line for us nearly every day but the firefighters that's just not enough. the professional firefighters and battalion chief association took some time out of their jobs to deliver baskets of donated meals for local families in need. it's all part of a combined effort with span,. >> they were just wonderful. we love them to death. they have been participating us for a year now and it's so wonderful what they are doing to take the time out from their busy day. they are heroes in our eyes. . >> they donated 40 meals in all. >> our readers are not up on the roof. they are -- we had wyatt, today lynette had her turn. she put off sleep to visit two local schools, the second stop was the highland school in belaire. though the students asked very nicely she

. >> yeah and to add to that i think it's involving the community, so the pta's, the nonprofits, the faith based community and bringing them together and share resources and get really focused and looking at the data and then the outcomes because that keeps you focused. >> great. okay go ahead. >> this is a mixed appreciation and a question. i'm nicholas carlyle and the director of "bully" , san francisco's nonprofit and we share with you the realization that punishment makes bullying situations worse. it's uncoupled bullying and punishment and the question is, which is kind of a comment too. if we uncouple bullying and punishment doesn't that make it much easier to define what bullying is? and seems to me and defining bullying because the bar is so high because we're afraid it's going to trigger some prescribed consequence and bullying doesn't necessarily have to lead to a consequence and just a solution wouldn't that make the definition of bullying much easier? >> i don't think that that -- at least from my perspective and what i heard so far that the focus of addressing bullying l

stuff, but for parents with kids, changing policies at schools can be an accessible thing, joining pta's or talking to the school board about having integrated pest management so kids aren't exposed to pesticides on playgrounds, that's been successful. there's a huge movement to get safer, healthier foods into schools and they just revised the school lunch guidelines, but also you could go organic, you could go local and there are schools in berkeley and in the bay area really making some amazing strides and ensuring safer food practices, universities could do the same thing and that would be huge because that's such a large population as well. cleaning products in the schools, don't we want particularly these little kids who are more vulnerable to be less exposed to the kinds of cleaning product chemicals that might not be on the labels of those products being used, so schools can be a really targeted place and an accessible place for people to see change happen. there's a network there, hopefully you have like-minded parents to work with around the community as well. so, agriculture, p

enforcement has a serious tone so we created this program for officers to present to schools and to pta's and to faith based organizations and any community group that wants to hear it. we have the hour long safety program and started with digital safety as the kind of umbrella but it touches on -- i agree i don't like the term cyber bullying. kids don't use that and it's bullying and it's drama. everything is drama now but law enforcement needs to look at the piece of social media and what it plays and taking the phone is like cutting off the arm and parents are not understanding the disconnect and it's a divide and how kids communicate today and how parents communicate and helping parents parent in this digital world and helping kids make smarter decisions, so they don't have to worry about friending the college recruiter and them taking,a way their scholarship or anything like that. it's also looking at trainings for law enforcement officers -- when i go to a school and has a knife and on the honor role and never had any problems so it would be easy -- well let's cite you for possessio
