multiagency requests, difficult requesters, that sort of thing. so i just wanted everyone to know that. that we're not here to advocate for requesters or for agencies, but for the foia process. and the other thing i wanted to mention is, gavin talked about our best practices, and we just came up with some best practices for database requests. we have best practices for requesters and also best practices for agencies, and we've handled several cases dealing with databases and found that they can be pretty difficult for both sides of the request. so we have those. unfortunately, we don't have them among the handout, but they are on our website, which is ogis poogi sch og ogis.gov, let us know and let you know what you think, and i think i'm going to end it there. >> okay. either one of you? >> let me say something -- perhaps more complementary than miriam being very modest, narrowly highlighted that ogis. that is, if you'd like to get a good sense, the most acute sense of what ogis is all about, i tell you, you can do that simply by looking at four

the budget request invests $4 billion in our energy programs. it advances progress in areas from solar to off shore wind to carbon capture utilization and storage to smart grid technologies. it helps reduce our dependence on imported oil by developing next generation biofuels, advance batteries and fuel efficient technologies. it requests $770 million in the nuclear energy program to help develop the next generation of nuclear powered technologies including small modular of energy, interior and epa to understand and minimize the potential environmental health and safety impacts of natural gas development through hydraulic frac. the budget also promotes energy efficiency to help americans save money by saving energy. and it sponsors r&d and industrial materials and processes to help u.s. manufacturers cut costs. to maximize our energy technology efforts in areas including batteries, biofuels, electric grid technologies, coordinating research and development and applied research programs. to encourage the manufacturing and deployment of clean ener

to broaden the phrasing of their foia requests to guard against that happening. although it's a general rule. you want to make your request as specific as possible. so people can find the records. you sometimes have to broaden them self-defensively for that reason. it's not the way it ought to be, but it is something that can be done. comment down there? >> gavin. >> i'll just add in general some agencies seem to be better as searching for records than others. this is, i think, an area that deserves more exploration out of the agency annual reports in general in terms of audits, inve investigations and audits performance. for the most part, when people looked at exemption use and withholding by agencies they exclude this category of denials for reasons other than than -- there's a good reason to do that and a good reason not to do that. the reason they are deserve closer exploration, there seems to be some significant variation in the way that agencies turn down requests for reasons that are not based on statutory exemptions. like fee-related reasons. no record w

5b, another rehearing request. subject property at 2801 leavenworth street. we received a letter from john kwong, an agent for the dpw. the board voted 4-1 to grant the appeal and overall the denial of the mobile food facility permit by dpw on the basis that the reason for the denial has not been substantiated. in this case, mr. kwong, you will go first. you will have three minutes. >> as stated in my brief to the committee -- to the board -- we have received additional documentation from officer matt pia's from central station. he has identified the areas within 300 feet of the proposed location on leavenworth st. that serves like foods once again. i want to bring this to the board have attention, and request a rehearing based on the additional information received from the commission. officer masius >> is this a holdover from when the police were doing this? why was this being withheld as opposed from summer percent of from dpw? >> the initial request was for a 24/7 occupation of that area to do late-night sales.

so the request for an extension to may from mr. marquez is due to his travel, having missed the 15th of march and the resetting of the date. again, it is a very peculiar thing, the residents have not been spoken with, they would strongly favor discretionary review and the ability to speak. >> thank you. >> i just wanted to clarify that the continuance from march 15 to this date was at the request of staff because the plans were not to our satisfaction at that point. we didn't feel we were ready to bring it to the commission. so staff requested the continueance. >> can i ask a question? i know it's out of order. mr. starr, it was stated in mr. marquez's letter that he had let you know at the time that the date was set that he was not able to be here and wanted a continuance is that true? >> he did and i he needed to be here at the beginning of the agenda to request a different date for it to be continued. he did not show up at the beginning of the hearing. commissioner borden: when did he inform you that he could not be here? was it

and this was at the request of our clients. they didn't want to build a building that had such a large impact on that neighborhood because they are in that neighborhood. we have the required parking in the adjourning -- adjoining building. the sears are planning on expanding their business, which is if bicycle rental business. they are now able to move bicycles between the two buildings without having to go on to the very crowded sidewalks in that area. it also allows garbage and other materials to be moved without using the public sidewalks. lastly, we were very conscious of the height of the back of the building. we could have put more commercial square footage into the building and had a reduced rear yard, but we chose to keep the rear yard down and allow more light to penetrate into the adjoining buildings. we've also met with the neighbors and we have made some modifications to our proposal. we've removed 36 inches of a solid wall and replaced it with a see-through railing, so we've essentially reduced the bulk of the buil

almost 10% of the total request. this request includes $576 million for research, including $81 million in research xwrants and fellowships to scientists and universities throughout the country for targeted research as part of the science to achieve results or s.t.a.r. program. including children's health and disruption and air monitoring research. also as part of this request, epa includes funding increases into key areas that include green infrastructure and hydraulic fracturing. as i've mentioned before, natural gas is an important resource which is abundant in the united states, but we must make sure that the ways we extract it do not risk the safety of public water supplies. this budget continues epa's ongoing congressionally directed hydraulic fracturing study. we're taking steps to ensure it's peer reviewed and based on strong and scientifically defensible data. building on these ongoing efforts, this budget requests $14 million in total to work collaboratively with the united states geological survey. the dep

as you consider the request and a mandatory staff review, the zoning administrator will hear the request. >> good evening, commissioners. i have just been informed the neighbors would like a continuance of the matter. i am not sure if that has been brought to your attention at all. >> no. >> shall i continue? >> yes. >> the request for additional use authorization of the planning code to convert a former church that is currently being used as a single-family dwelling into a private elementary school, which is currently operating to and a half blocks north. cbds would maintain both campuses for 200 students in grades five through grade eight. the project include interior and exterior tenant improvements. exterior includes converting our garage into a primary pedestrian entrance, adding a roof deck to the southwest corner, adding associated screening, and adding an elevator penthouse along the eastern edge of the building. interior tenant improvements include new partitions and other support functions for the school. in 2003, the condition granted authorization to install three portable qu

the best example of this is by inclusion of the language in the 2013 budget request just as it was requested in 2012. thank you very much. i would be happy to respond to questions. >> thank you very much, mr. secretary. i'll call on dr. roubideaux after i recognize senator franken. he'll be back on the floor and i'm going to ask him for any opening remarks he has. >> thank you, mr. chairman, i thank you for your courtesy. unfortunately, i have to preside in 15 minutes so i would like to say a couple of things. each year this committee holds hearings on the needs of the -- many issues of great importance for indian country, but only once a year do we examine overall funding levels for native programs. what we choose to fund sends a powerful message to tribes about our priorities. in these times of tight budgets, programs across the federal government are being forced to make painful cuts and do more with less. sadly native communities are far too accustomed to doing more with less. i hope that as we examine this year's budget we will all remember our trust responsibilities to try and think ca

we requested suspension of the authorization. it is my understanding they have not been operating with any entertainment at

with requests to interview the sheriff, and you have already said you are objecting to that. >> let me clarify, and we are going to make sure you have the applicable law on this later this evening or sometime tomorrow, and we did e-mail or letter about this. >> he was traveling all day, so that is probably why we did not get it. >> if we are going to submit it by e-mail maybe there will be a way to make sure it gets to everyone, but that is a topic for another day. we want clarification about whether or not they can do what they are trying to do. our reading says the ethics commission starts the investigation when they get a complaint. share of mirkarimi -- share of mirkarimi -- sheriff mirkarimi wants to cooperate. good we have requested a written opinion from you as to whether or not he has a duty to cooperate with the commission. if you tell him he does common he will cooperate. i am not sure i answered your question, but the fact of they have come forward and threatened that if you do not cooperate, we are going to amend and official misconduct and add failure to cooperate to those

>> how does agency respond, how do we as a requester get the information, right? >> yes. >> yeah. >> and so you know what to expect and, you know, that being forewarned is sometimes very helpful. >> gentleman on this side of the audience looks semiforewarned, at least. >> jim snyder. my question has to do with conflict of interest guidance for foia officers. there's lots of discussions about how to get foia officers to comply with the law, but it's not generally thought that they may have blatant conflicts of interest in actually serving their role. many foia officers don't just do foia. they're lawyers for an agency and have many other roles. for example, i have been researching a particular agency and the foia officer also does all the vetting for the federal advisory committee. this agency it happens to be i'm interested in investigating how that agency does the vetting process for the federal advisory committees. now, there's no public disclosure that the person i'm asking is actually -- i'm actually checking on the foia officer, as it turns out. i didn't know

this is a jurisdictional request. nothing has been stated by the request for, mr. hanson, indicating he has satisfied it any of the necessary threshold's in order to justify the right to have this matter proceed. in particular, to grant lee jurisdiction that the board must find that the city intentionally or inadvertently was late in filing the appeal. there is nothing before the board that suggests that. unlike what mr. hansen had stated, exhibit b, which is referenced in the materials are presented to the board, clearly, in december of 2011, he refuses to provide information regarding his tendency and references an attorney who is representing him at this time, robert peterson. mr. hanson is now on his third attorney. while i understand that mr. hanson may be disappointed about the fact that he is residing in an unwarranted unit, my clients are new owners, trying to do the right thing and remove what is not permissible.

the rehearing request is granted. the board's original decision of 1998 is set aside and the new rehearing on the merits is to and 20th. thank you. >> let's take a quick break. my apology is -- to whoever is waiting on the next case. we are taking a break. >> we will resume the meeting. this is the san francisco board of appeals. item #6 has been withdrawn. we have heard item number seven. we will move on to item number eight. laurie herraiz versus the department of building inspection. the property is at 395 arkansas street. protesting the issuance, the permit to alter of building, complete internal remodeling, add new windows, and expand existing debt. -- deck. all the board members are here and we will begin with the appellant. >> you have seven minutes. >> thank you. thank you for staying so late and not running out for food. i live in the property directly adjacent. this is a neighbor who lives on the other side of the property as well. we filed this complaint because of things we saw going on out in the field th

i'm pleased to have an opportunity to testify on the president's fiscal year 2013 request, budget request for the indian health service. for my written statement, reviews in detail what his has completed in funding that congress has appropriated for us in the past few years. since 2008 the budget has increased and it's helped the indian health service make significant progress in our efforts to change and improve the organization as well as in addressing the priorities of our work. our partnership with tribes is fundamental to improving the health of our communities. each year we incorporate tribal budget priorities into our budget requests. we're also making progress on reforming the indian health service with an emphasis on improving the way we do business and how we lead and manage our staff, setting a strong tone at the top that we must change and improve, improving our financial controls, finding more efficient and effective ways to conduct our business matters and performance management and accountability have been very important to our progress. for example, ihs was able to demonst

we are doing the requests over the web where you can request and pay. in some cases, we have faxed it to people but you can start the process. we are also working on people being able to other requests so we are looking at how those would be developed. you have all heard me mention we are being a model department in terms of combining server equipment from the human services agency planning departmentour department. it is a very slow process to get even other bids from other departments on how much it would cost to do these improvements, getting a group -- approval from the department of technology. we did achieve two weeks ago a signed a memorandum of understanding between the departments that with what kind of equipment that we would require an of what the general scope of the equipment room would look like. there are still some things we need to work out, but we are now just trying to get approval of that through the department of technology. i mentioned the cash management system. then the other thing i did want to tell you is that we are getting a

there's a request for continuance. i have not heard whether or not the project sponsor is in agreement with that continuance. i did not have anything at this moment, so i will ask that you take up this continuance of the call of the item as opposed to right now. i'm not sure if anyone is here to speak to that, but even if they were, i would ask that you take the item of that the call of the item. would you like to allow them to speak on that? >> we can have public, about the continuance itself, but i think that the bulk of it should be discussed at the item. >> at the call of the item. thank you. with that, commissioners, we can move on to your consent calendar. items one through five make up the consent calendar this week. they are continue -- considered to be routine and will be acted upon by a single roll call vote on the commission. there will be no separate discussion of the items unless the member of the commission, the public, or staff so request. in that event, the matter or matters would be removed and discuss

if the requests were granted for extended hours, we requested be extended for an hour to 3:00 a.m. or 4:00 a.m. at the latest. i did submit a list of conditions for the entertainment permits as well. i request of those be submitted for the after-hours, if it is extended. we also requested that they have cameras to record patrons entering and exiting the building. but they have a monthly calendar of events that would be submitted. if an event is not on the calendar, it be submitted to the station two weeks in advance. and that security will monitor the area in the front of a club due to its being set back. they cannot see around the club. >> may i ask a point of clarification? the areas you are having trouble contain ing, did they happen after hours? >> not any of them that i have noted. >> i have questions. one was the last time that there was an incident at to this club where you had a hard time containing it, the people were taking off and getting on the freeway? >> not offhand. >> within the last six months? >> no. i have been off to patrol for a little while. >> the other clubs

request a conditional grant on this for the place of entertainment and the extended hours and request that the extended hours have no restriction. >> is there any questions from the commission to the applicants and? >> i had a question. you said there will be some improvements to the actual building. can you describe, i know it is not laid out, but the thoughts? >> number one, hopefully the roof will not beat anymore. that has been going on for more than a few years. some roof repairs, electrical, some sound system repairs. expanding the allied dating -- the lighting. booth seating and table areas. a lot of stuff we have has taken a beating over the years. that is it. no structural changes. other than repairing the roof. >> i'm dating myself. i have fond memories. >> colossus is still going on. i will see you on gay pride. [laughter] >> i remember from a month ago, march 12, i have my notes. you made rug -- remark about violations was good neighbor policy. the sidewalk completely blocked, people had to go around. groups of people. dressed arrests. -- drug arrests. i was wondering if y

a house committee recently gave the federal government a c-minus in handling requests. in this hour and ten-minute discussion, official from the office of government information services. they talk about their challenges and progress. >>> all right, folks. we're going to tart in again on our first panel. if everyone could quiet down. i know there are a lot of conversations going on upstairs where the handouts are and the -- and the refreshments. we call that the foia foyer. foia foyer. we don't do it just during sunshine week. we call it that all year long. by the way, it does look like the sun is beginning to peek out a little bit, as befitting this freedom of information day during sunshine week. i want to make sure that everyone here in the audience knows that we do have handouts, many handouts up there, including detailed biographical sketch on everyone who's speaking here today. so you'll find that the moderators, including myself, we will not spend a lot of time with respect to biographical details. we'll spend some time on that, because we'll try to get as much c

requester error and his neighbor. what is important here is that the windows should maintain the integrity of the street, and of the property. there is nothing exceptional about them. the d.r. should not be accepted and the windows should be approved. president fong: d.r. requester, you have a two-minute rebuttal. >> thank you, commissioners to. we came here to talk about the building. we are going to continue to talk about the building. i would be happy to answer any questions that you have related to what was just said. i am a general contractor. i have been a general contractor for about 10 years. i have lived in this house for 15 years. every square inch of the interior of this house i have meticulous the upgraded, restored back to its original condition. milling the woodwork, installing everything. the outside of the house was next on our list. then these windows went in. i just do not understand why it is so hard to believe it is not a personal vendetta when this is what i do. this is my home. i will be here ano

compare that to the president's request of nearly $52 billion in discretionary spending. secretary of state hillary clinton explained the president's request to the senate foreign relations committee. we'll show you that it's nearly two and a half hours. >>> the hearing will come to order. madam secretary, welcome back to the committee. as always, i think you know this, this is a great pleasure for us to welcome you here, to have you here. and it's enormously helpful for us obviously to hear your thoughts, especially at a time when we are facing so many different challenges, and at the same time i think presented with so many opportunities. the demand for u.s. leadership i think has never been higher. whether because of the issues raised by the arab spring, by nuclear proliferation, climate change, particularly the challenge of iran and the middle east. budget realities, however, have placed a premium on projecting u.s. power. not only effectively, but efficiently. i think that more than at recent moments, we need a smart, coordinated, and strong budget in order to safegu

that would provide an additional $2,525,468, instead of the $3 million that was requested. supervisor chu: thank you. the department we have not yet heard from, public utilities. >> good afternoon. assistant general manager and cfo of public utilities. before you here today, i would like to give the three key updates. overtime is a very small part of our budget. we're used to staffing 24/7 and responding to rainy weather. we have tried to staff up appropriately. we have had a number of retirements. in particular, we lasted a work force succession planning analysis that showed almost 50% of our employees are eligible for retirement by 2014. we had about 10% turnover last year. i have been doing a great deal of permanent hiring in particular. with that being said, we have some of vacancies, and we're filling those in particular in our power house operations. the item before you today, and i understand the budget analyst support our request, is actually a reduction in overtime year- over-year for both our waste water operations as well as for our power generation facilities up

the gap of the funding need and the funding requests from the congress. in addition to this budget request proposes a series of initiatives intended to save money including better controls on contract health care and better strategies for contracting. i'm pleased to see the v.a. recognizes the importance of efficiency but i have concerns with those proposals. a report released showed many initiatives and initiatives from last year's budget did not generate the savings that the v.a. predicted. i will review each of the initiatives in this budget with an open mind but our first priority and obligation must be to ensure that we are fulfilling and honoring our commitment to the veterans. if the va fails for the cost elements. medical care collections is anotherñoño area where v.a. has do a better job of predicting targets and collecting funds. it is impossible to build a budget on funding that is not collected. another area of concern to me is mental health care. at a hearing last year the v.a. witnesses acknowledged they may, in fact, need more resources to

the 2013 budget request would allow us to fulfill the requirements of our mission. health care for 8.8 million enrolled veterans. compensation and pension benefits for nearly 4.2 million veterans. life insurance coverage -- life insurance covering 7.1 million active-duty service members and enrolled veterans at a 95% customer satisfaction rating. educational assistance for over a million veterans and family members on over 6,500 campuses. home mortgages and veteran loans with the nation's lowest foreclosure rates. burial honors for nearly 120,000 heroes and eligible family members and our 131 national cemeteries befitting their service to our nation. this 2013 budget request continues the momentum, and our three priorities that you heard me speak about over the past three years, increasing access to care, benefits, and services. eliminating claims -- the claims backlog. and ending veterans' homelessness through effective, efficient, accountable use of the resources you provide. access encompasses va's facilities, programs, and technology. it's a broad term, but ther

to go before we reach the hearing requests, what would have been required to lift the abatement? >> we upheld the department's decision, so what happens after that? with respect to this particular case, this was an issue with respect to the exterior paint. we have seen that from adjacent inspections that some of the work had been done. there was also peeling paint. as recently within the past 30 years -- 30 days, that inspector was on a property perpendicular to the site elevation to the property and noticed a bunch of peeling paint and took photographs of that. we still have a situation occurring with peeling paint on the property come in not having proper containment. we still need to address that, and also need to address access to the building for purposes of the routine inspection, while that was not specifically before you come it was part of the discussion at the last commission meeting. >> my understanding is the abatement order was placed on the property. we wait for the property owner to respond to us? >> he indicated he was not going to let anyone into the building to

our request are reasonable. we ask that you did not make a decision today regarding this conditional use authorization request. we asked for this denial of because the new structure, mechanical systems clearly intensified the use of the building when compared to plans from july, 2011. we feel that the schools should return to those original plans. those plans are acceptable to us as they had no ext. three changes. if they insist on the changes come to a full environmental review, historical review should be submitted. those documents should be open to a neighbor notification and public comment. we ask that the planning commission carefully considers the many neighborhood concerns in this matter. thank you. >> thank you, commissioners. i am speaking on behalf of myself and the five adults in our buildings and neighborhoods that were not able to make it. i am really amazed how many people were able to come out on such short notice. we literally did not know about his plans. they celebrate diversity, promote justic
