so those two things, the failure of the july test and now this effort to redesign the kill vehicle do those in your mind in any way change the decision to go ahead with the 14 additional ce 2's? it's one thing for the next test to lead to fixing the ten that are deployed, but does it change what your thoughts about deploying 14 additional ce 2's now that we know about the unreliability of the system and that we're working on a better system to follow up? thank you. >> no. and to elaborate just a little bit, you have both the quantitative and a qualitative set of issues. as we saw the threat from north korea advancing with a lot of uncertainty still about both umbers and quality of the kn 08 and td 2 but more to the point the kno 8 as we look at that hedge that we put in place under secretary gates that his recommendation to the president, if you didn't act to begin to move forward on that hedge to go from 30 to 44, then there was no prospect of making it by 2017. from my perspective given that we had it within our where withal to grow, that it was a modest cost, it wouldn't affect str

we relocated a quarter of the building we had to redesign the entire units and also the dressing the concerns about the privacy. the gloen mission has been increased to 40 by 40 feet and the mount on the top two floors have been reduced by 3 feet and the template and the setback. we worked hard to resolve all the main design and social concerns raised last hearing and because of a new trend we lost 3 thousand square feet of residential spaces but we believe we have a good product and a better design if you have any questions, i'll be happy to answer them thank you >> thank you. okay any public comment on that item on this project? >> jonas can he make. >> council my name is don i'm. >> i'm sorry, go ahead, sir. >> all right. i just wanted to say a few things in regards to the project we try to work extensive with the planning department and i think we complied to as many requests in regards to this and he hope it meets with our satisfaction we open up the courtyard and we moved things around to the different requests and we tried to appease all of the needs of the city with this proj

>> here, i redesigned the sandbag. i took traditional sand and put in salt. i know how devastating hurricanes and saltwater flooding can be. we had hurricane sandy. i was in hurricane wilma when i was four or five, hiding in the closet with my mom. >> you store member that, huh? how old are you now? >> 12. sandbags are the most common method of flood protection. they can be difficult to transport. >> i remember. they leave gaps between the bags. >> they do not compress together. >> i wanted to redesign the stand bags -- sand bags. when they are dry, there are only four pounds. when you add water, they expand and become heavy. they offer protection from flooding. >> if i know of what is coming, i can pack these up and we can deliver them to the site much easier. you can fit more bags in there. you don't even have to add water because by definition, the water is coming in to hit the back. >> yes. if you want to do that, you can host them down. the other advantage is that if you stack them with a late weig ht, they will expand and fill in the gaps between indivi

i would assume. >> if the redesign office had a multi-division working group, do you know what the redesign offices? >> yes. for is a group as possible ensuring that we are designing the work within our clinics operations in the most active and inefficient -- efficient way. they were given a responsibility for monitoring access. >> it says you had a group within the veterans administration that identified in 2010 numerous practices were numbers are being manipulated for the purposes of better outcomes in terms of how those people would be rated. it seems to me that should've been a systematic practice with the chain of command would see to it that was not tolerated as the memo says. i absolutely agree with you. we did institute that appropriate level of accountability. i will find out. i do not know if anybody was specifically disciplined about met issue. this is been a very difficult issue an important issue to us. we have tried to root out those places where the scheduling system was being used inappropriately. >> i know my time is up. for the sake of the integrity of veterans administrat

the same type of batteries on the new boeing jet liner that underwent a new redesign.e told us he believes the redesign didn't go far enough. >> i think a much better design would be to have a liquid coolant system that is insensitive to attitude and could provide a greater heat removal so if any of the cells begins to over heat for whatever reason that over heating will not be transferred to cells. >> reporter: the ntsb said the process is used in 2000 to support the design were inadequate. it released new recommendations to boeing and the faa. conduct short circuit tists on board -- tests on board an airplane. test all permanent lithium batteries. develop better battery test standards. and appoint an independent over sight panel. this comes a year after the federal aviation administration pronounced the batteries safe for passenger flights. >> this has a certain sense of urgency to it. >> reporter: he believes the ntsb which can only make recommendations is trying to force the faa and boeing to do all these things. >> they are saying we are not happy with the work yo

we are proposing a substantial redesign of the western side of indiana side consistent with better street standards that would actually result anyway widened sidewalk, planting, street trees and of course, as you move forwards 19th, the permanent closure of 19th, i want to emphasize in all of our schemes this remains fully public and would be a public plaza dedicated to large-scale rotating art and we're in conversations with caltrans about getting an easement to do work on their land as well, to build an urban bleacher. again, we'll come back with the specific plaza designs in two weeks. here is a project view, hovering above esprit park to the northeast. the o green building and m, reddish building to the north. i think a really important perspective view if you are standing in the corner of esprit park looking across the street and see the green o building with the playful rhythm along the fagaed, a full 17-18' clearance, transparent base and that is a double-height space with corner arts cafe and further down the block, the m building changing the palette. this is again looking back a

and what are you really looking to do with high school redesign? >> we talked a little bit earlier, but what we want to make sure is that we continue -- we are thrilled high school graduation rates have hit an all-time high. but i worry a lot about the 20% who do not graduate and what their life is going to be like. we know there is not anything out there for them. what we want to do is make sure that high schools continue to be very relevant for young people, that they understand what the jobs are in their communities, why they are going to school, what that leads to. we want to make sure that they are rigorous with more access to high-level education. high schools that are serious about making sure 100% of students graduate and graduate college and career ready, we need more schools to look like that. >> early college and concurrent enrollment programs are part of the redesign. >> absolutely. we talked earlier -- i don't know if you were here, but i am a huge fan of the dual enrollment early college program. i would like to see a lot more of that

was implemented there were provisions made and we were made aware of the neighbors concerns they redesigned the project i held two meetings to discuss this and a series the recommended changes and all the issues the design team pledged the designs and all were address regarding the map of the scale and the third store not uncommon for the planning department to recommend an approval where there's neighborhoods with predominantly 2 stories so the building is actually has maximum setbacks from the front set back from the location of the front set back that's a 25 percent rear yard and doesn't encroach and this 3 story set back from the wall so 27 feet from the front property line it has a disabled roof but the rormdz were changed to be flat roofs there were other concerns about the garage door width and it has been addressed subsequent to that the nose was completed between september and october of last year the department was aware the concerns but no discretionary review filed has been note the permit was issued and primarily the concern related to the 3 stories it's currently a vacant lot

i wanted to get a hearing repelled to the hunters point shipyard point under or students being redesigned at the fire departments request from what we agreed upon better of the streets plan to 20 street to 26 width that's a big change to the pattern we contemplated i want to understand why it's being pushed weigh in on that. >> thanks. >> commissioner antonini. >> i'm will have interested in hearing that i wasn't sure how it came about. >> take commissioner borden's opinion that it was from 20 feet but the inspires are looking to narrow the case so whatever the case it tilts e it's woerthd hearing about. >> commissioner moore. >> i support we bring this back to the commission. >> moving on that places you on directors announcements. >> good afternoon john ram there's a hearing on the land use committee an is street width in the hunters point shipyard plan the fire department has asked for wireder streets for fire access reasons we'll be laborer the issues to find a way to accommodate their desire with not making the streets too wide and discourage racing on the streets so we're working wi

what does redesigning the education system mean? what about the questions of actual links between education, former education, and upper mobility in an economy that is pretty much anchored to liberal simple that moves the other way around. the same with healthcare. what redistributable approach to access to healthcare book like? in general terms i can agree with all those, but it always comes back to the question, well, how do we get there? again, i can demand that the federal government do whatever the federal government does. none of this is like barbershop talk. the notion in a society which designated victims it's almost impossible to imagine how the movement could be built, especially in a con detective of steadily declining expectations for everybody in this societies since that is the nature of the organization is. >> we'll take a short break. when we come back we'll talk about culpability, and the willingness for many to say basically i'm sorry that it happened, but it doesn't have anything to do with me personally. this is

fire crews arrived to find this garage ---which has been redesigned as a living space-- engulfed in flames. luckily no one was injured. fire officials say at one point up to nine people had been living in the converted garage. the property owner says he recently kicked out several people living there.and that led to a heated argument. while there were moving the stuff out i got all kinds of threats, including work and a burn the place them--were. fire officials are calling the fire suspicious.and say they found flammable liquid at the scene.but say the cause of the fire is still under investigation. coming up on kron 4 news at 11. a man trying to get into his apartment ends up killed! police calling it a deadly apartment mix up. we share the honest mistake that lead to the death. bay area police reminding cinco de mayo revelers to party safe. the business that's picking up the taxi tab and getting you home for free and next. the greatest show on earth turns into a tragedy and it was all caught on camera. more video of the circus act gone wrong ahead. this is video of a circus accident that

the over all service changes represent a net service increase of 12 percent, and includes some redesigning of routes to stream line the travel and improve the efficiency and it very much focuses on connecting the networks better. and there will be a new 28 l that connected the richmond and the sunset, and the outer mission. and it will lead to reduced crowding and modifies or discontinued the low rider ship segments and then it expands the limited stop service and so, on the busy corridors for example, the five folton and we recently introduced the limited spot service and when you start needing service, every four or five minutes, sometimes, there is an opportunity to add a second type of service, and that gets the people where they are going more quickly and so some people are going to take that local service that works well for them but a lot of people will opt for the quicker trip. and the capitol investments take a cost effective transit in providing priority in the traffic and that includes, for example, the j, church pilot that we have out right now, and and it also includes, things

i and the vast majority of neighbors along the project side respectfully ask for redesign of the project and require further side setbacks in in order to provide the minimum 25% yard on this lot of the thank you. >> thank you. other additional speakers in support of the dr? >> commissioners, good afternoon. for the record i am ellen nevin and i'm here to read an email about this project into the record, as well as hand over a petition against the project. the email was written to a planner jessa luck from robert passmornoticed earlier. mr. passmoras i'm sure you know was the city's longest serving zone administrator and author of the original version of the interpretation at issue today. mr. passmorwas not hired by or paid by anyone. he noted the email to help correct the department's mistake.

things that you probably deal with in your work as supervisors but when were you looking at kind of redesigningtreets fresh we try to consider what we've learned in the past to make those kind of positions >> you mentioned sort of accepted urban transportation design standards for streets. and so again not talking about aerials or major streets but side streets is 80 feet clear of clearance park car to park cars is that what you did expert would consider to be the appropriate >> yes. a that's pretty standard in the 20 feet clear follows the fire skoed code and there recent proponents of having even narrower streets there's a possibility ever having streets that have narrower profiles depending on the parking so you can get around on a narrower profile we succumb in san francisco the parking lane will be a constant obstruction but if you have a street you can have narrower profiles but the standard kind of narrow residential street where volumes are low below 5 thousand vehicles a day that's pretty standard. >> you mentioned before the request that i constituents for traffic calming i know first

every time she is coming up with different things and she actually wanted to redesign the whole building the way she likes and doesn't let him design the build ing the way he likes. when he was doing the design of this building and the project was in the rd to make sure that nothing is not according to the requirements it actually came out 100% like it should be. i am standing here today asking you to not to let this neighbors to take over his property. letting him develop this addition in the front to accommodate what he needs and that que go in he can go in and live the way he can and utilize the building right. thank you. >> other speakers? seeing none, dr requester you have a two-minute rebuttal. >> one thing mr. bash has indicated michelle's kitchen window won't be seriously impacted by the project and he write "the proposed project will actually improve the light in your kitchen window and you would still be able to look up and see the sky." so that top photo that is existing kitchen window and bottom with the project. so really the only way to see the sky is if michelle khryaps up

. >> we are looking at prospectively redesigning retirement. correct.s >> i want to make retirement more sustainable and efficient but still generous. the real issue is tri-care. are think the big three pay, tri-care, as well as be a we are going to be looking at making the pay benefit system more sustainable yet appropriate for the sacrifice. you are asking the congress to be a partner in this. we need to keep an open mind. we have got to get a handle on this because over time, tri-care becomes a larger part of the budget. >> that is correct. >> very much like medicare. we will have to deal with the cost of health care in a responsible way. if we make these changes and we package, how much money do you think it would save over time? submission that we have -- the goaloposed is to slow down the growth so have a different model. each service would probably be better able to answer that question. >> what is your goal in the marine corps? i look at it as $1.2 billion over the next 10 years. you have to answer this question today. pick a number tha

tremendous work on the narrow streets in san francisco we need to support the fret but that doesn't mean redesigning our city so the streets are not safe for pedestrian safety so i looked forward to the continuing conversations it's not over and i know that we'll be able to advocate go effectively for a liveable streets for our city >> thank you supervisor wiener. supervisor farrell. >> colleagues today after a number of meetings in our budget and finance committee around the homelessness for the past month or two i'm asking the city attorney to draft our homeless less residents to get preference in the affordable housing program ambassador we heard about the closing within our stabilization beds and within the housing authority and the mayor's office of housing affordable units to create more flow and unclog the housing at all levels i hope this achieves for to do so. we do know there are tenants in support of the housing across the city that can move from housing units into more affordable housing. and to make our housing to work we need legislation and additional policies that will encourage the
