san francisco as the number 1 retail city in the bay area. oakland has made an amazing investment. we have industrial areas. >> how much will your strategy rest on luring companies from elsewhere in the bay area? you have highlighted that you are cheaper and more interesting than san francisco. >> you're referring to our pawed industry. that gets a lot of great publicity but is probably only worth a couple of million dollars in sales taxes. that is not a major thing. it was really difficult for development. by taxing and regulating them, it became the model that most of the state has followed. if medical marijuana is illegal, it should be taxed. we are one of the first cities to tax those dispensaries. if you have a legal marijuana and dispensaries, they should be able to buy it. that is a very small part of our economic development. obviously the tax breaks are a major part. >> do you see as the development tool of choice or was this a unique deal done in unique circumstances? >> i think it began as a unique one because we have been struggling with how to activate the mid market w

as is what they would want to change in san francisco. the first thing that comes up as health care, the second is workers' rights issues, and the third is education. why is health number one? if they are not healthy, they can't work. because medical costs in san francisco are very high, a lot of them can't afford it. so a lot of the illnesses are minor. but until it becomes more, [unintelligible] for example, a worker came out and told her that she needed to go back to china. they responded, that is great, why are you coming back. her responses, i dunno if i will come back because i don't know if i will see you again. years ago, she went to the doctor who the doctor said she had a lump in her cervix. because medical costs were so high, she did not get treatment for it. until a few months ago, there was a lot of pain and she could not even go to work. the doctors said she had cancer. in san francisco, there is no way she can afford the medical costs so she had to go back to china. the after hearing semiprofessional talk about the high cost of medical care, it is all because of certain hospitals controlling the costs. so if the cost goes higher and higher, how are they

san francisco's chinatown is a world-class heritage area and the heart and core of our city. commercial street is the original commercial strip of the gold rush. this is where a good number of san francisco as pioneers would have disembarked upon arrival here at the time of the gold rush. this property has an appearance which existed before pre chinatown -- that existed before chinatown. there is the problem of serial permitting. there is absolutely no objection on my behalf or any of the hundreds of the people that have nurtured my work over the last 12 yearsthe cooking school thatt into the building has been put into the building. we are here to discuss how we properly take care of this that has not been properly taken care of. there are laws that are supposed to be overseeing this project. those continue to be made. it is inappropriate. for further taxpayer monies to be put into this project until a global plan is in place. there has to be a proper order for things. not to continue to take out a permit after permit. i can show you a few pictures that may interest you. in my brief, i discussed at the entrance to the storefront, number 731 note was an ornate wooden door. that was at a time

san francisco as a criminal prosecutor and civil rights attorney. i got to understand how much of a be in san francisco is to the rest of the world for social justice. i spent a numberf years helping to grow a small business. i got to understand the innovative spirit in san francisco. at night, i volunteered as a neighborhood leader and as feature of an affordable housing organization. i learned so much about the challenges facing our neighborhoods and the special jewels that are the urban villages we live in. i ran for office because i wanted to serve the city and protect all that is so special about san francisco. >> what lessons did you learn after campaigning for supervisor? >> san franciscans are incredibly interested in their city government, local politics, and making sure that we remain the most amazing city in the world. i learned that san franciscans during campaign read everything they are sent in the mail. they love to meet the candidates and engage in conversations with them. i learned how important it is to build bridges between different communities, particularly communities of diversity that we have. i was incredibly honored to have been elected in n

the bay area, this will be as the system kind of drops into the north bay, mainly into san francisco and temperatures actually staying pretty mild. we should see those numbers mostly in the 60s as we go into the next few days. the future cast, increasing clouds to wrap up the weekend, throw we're not expecting showers, we should see the showers come in on monday. as we kick off the weekend, the temperatures should be in the mid 60s, this is an improvement of about five or eight degrees with highs only in the mid to upper 50s. so the numbers finally starting to come up. this should be the sunnier of the two weekend days, but sunday not all that bad. we'll see some mid and high level clouds coming in for the afternoon. there you see monday, a chance for a few showers there, and kis are clear, we warm off little bit an those temperatures rebound some as we head towards the middle part of the week. >>> if you are headed to at&t park, how will you get there? some people take their cans and some people like to take the train. >> reporter: taxi, taxi! good morning. at&t park. all right, who are you and what are you doing in tim lincecum's body? >> well, you know i

the pedestrian network a primal network in san francisco. as matt said early on, he's not going to be happy until zero is the number of pedestrian accidents in san francisco. and we pointed out that this is a tough city for the planning and we have a transit system that's robust and needs fixing and we have a bike network to get out of the injunction phase and get back to building. and we have a parking challenge and on top of that we have the pedestrian concerns and network and imperative. and i see as pedestrians as special, they are probably the most vulnerable of all modes of transportation. and at some point, every one of us, we are pedestrian, this is the one mode that cuts across everything and demands the most immediate attention. where is all of this going to go? and now i will make sure that we cover these issues and write on the easels and the comments that you give, this will be materials that feed the better streets plan, and materials that will go into the effective plan, and how can we pretend to come up with a network that doesn't include the pedestrian's needs. and include this in the bike plan and work with the transportati

the possibility of scattered showers. leaving behind it chilly weather, 53 san francisco, 53 santa rosa, upper 50s oakland as well as low 50s in san jose. the numbers at this hour from 24 hours ago up just a bit, so we are starting to see a turn around and will be mild as we move into the weekend afternoons. for today the winds turning north-northeasterly. northwesterly is santa rosa. breezy in oakland. so with that implosion that breeze could push some of that smoke towards the peninsula but it should clear out fairly quickly. a northerly breeze in redwood city and westerly in san jose. the winds will continue and could pick up a little bit. a little breezy in the afternoon. still may need that jacket. your satellite and radar show the core of this system now over southern california but clear to see the wrap around moisture here. we will not lose that altogether until the afternoon. headed out to at&t for the game, breezy and cool, game time right about 1:35 so mild, below average, upper 50s napa as well as santa rosa. 56 for pacifica. the only areas expected to warm to 60, san jose, last gots to, morgan hill as well as gilroy. the rest of it pla

san francisco, the port being one. it was concluded that barging is more than twice as expensive as trucking. the numbers we received was $21 per ton versus $8 per ton for trucking. as an infrastructure perspective, we could consider this in the short term, but the costs and economics are not there. the department did look at other regional barging options, including barging to oakland or sacramento and from there to landfill by rail. according to art consultant, it would add $123 million to $343 million to the price of the contract over 10 years. additional considerations make it less desirable. no landfill is directly bars accessible today. for environmental reasons, leakage as well as littere -- they are all located away from waterways. it does require double or triple handling of waste, which has a significant impact. the conclusion, following are two months of work, talking to the port, and working with the consultant, no options are cost- efficient and viable. the chairwoman mentioned two of the studies that are in the process. one of them is the lafco study. some of you may have been at the meetin

-- to the un- discerning public is very schizophrenic picture, which is why i asked for this hearing, so we can get a better handle as to what san francisco is in store for. i have asked a number of people from our criminal justice partners in san francisco to be able to elaborate on the negotiations and on the updates -- status updates as to what we can expect from san francisco -- expect for san francisco over the next couple of months. what seems to be certain is that this will happen, but it is not clear to what degree and what volume it will happen in terms of what the exact population is $40 attached because of the state -- what the exact population is or the dollars attached because of the state of the budget. so i invite mr. henderson -- paul henderson from the mayor's office of criminal justice. the chief from adult probation. we have ms. dempsey from the sheriff's department. we have jessica from the reentry council, and a number of other folks as well. mr. henderson, if you would like to start this off. welcome. >> thank you. this is kind of a fait accompli. it was going to happen no matter what. in terms of our planning, preparing for the realignment, one of the ne

as the budget is concerned. as you know, the san francisco police department budget -- our obligation is to protect life and property, not only in the statistical form, but the fear of crime as the numbers go up and down, but the public perception of how they feel living in the city. we are going to talk about staffing. when you look at the staffing, the staffing structure for the san francisco police department is the chief of police. there are three distinct bureaus. the chief of staff. each of those has a chief of operations. there is an assistant chief assigned to each of those bureaus. you have the san francisco international airport, investigations, traffic. when you look at the administration comprised of staff services and the operations, the chief of staff, the assistance -- the assistant chief is in charge of the chief's office, media relations, and operations, which is the bulk of the police department, comprised of mta, traffic, homeland security, and the tactical unit. we look at our sworn personnel as of april 1. we had 222 assigned to administrative positions and 69 assigned to chief of staff. you look at the personnel broken down by bureau operations. that is broken down

the ratepayers in san francisco. i do respect the discussion. secondly, as supervisor campos mentioned, we did pass out at the lafco hearing, some numbers about the fact that we do essentially and effectively have a franchise fee that anywhere between 10% to 30% in san francisco. that comes from a number of the fees and free services provided to the city of san francisco through recology. it equals about $29 million. although we do not have a formal franchise fee agreement through the rate process, we have set up many programs and many incentives for recology to provide either free services or additional programming. in terms of the timing, we have concerns for all the reasons. regarding union pacific -- >> hon. supervisors, i'm chief operating officer of recology. the current agreement expires may 31, instead of april 31. at this point in time, we would have to go back to the union pacific. there's a union pacific representative in the audience that would be capable of responding to this. we would have to go to them to request an extension. at that point, depending on their ability to extend would determine our ability to provide that extension

if the waste water treatment plant comes in at the numbers we are looking at, it is about the same cost for those people as the people living in san francisco bay. and we can walk through those numbers with here. vice president moran: what hotels are going to be there? having made a decision yet? >> i do not think so. vice president moran: there would be two hotels. one with 50 rooms. another with 450 grams. >> we've not entered any agreements with developers. vice president moran: in that situation, does that ratepayer pay for part of the incentive as well? >> everyone on the island should be paying for the infrastructure on the island. >> sorry, i was going to save -- yes. the waste water capacity charges would apply to both residential and commercial uses on treasure island, the same as they would citywide. >> ok. for now. [laughter] >> moving into the utility infrastructure, let me look at possible water demands. the project will reduce demand for a new development, starting with 2.29 million gallons per day. we've reduced that to just under 2 million gallons per day by eliminating water irrigation. i will talk about the recycled water

san francisco. if we will see these temperatures plus oakland dropped as we head into the next couple of hours. our inland temperatures will be mild as well as our south bay numbers. the change of the past 24 hours is the biggest in san francisco. 9 degrees cooler, for degrees cooler in napa and seven degrees cooler in hayward. again, were seeing increasing fog cover offshore here in eastern to push up to the coastline and for the north bay. we will continue to see that into tomorrow plus cooler conditions. increasing clouds over into tomorrow. much cooler and windy. winds will kick up towards the afternoon. we will talk about the rest of your weekend and when we will see changes back in the forecast coming up in a bit. >>mark: justin to the kron 4 news room, an arrest has been made, announcing the rest of a 42 year-old man marco. last friday he kidnapped an oakland woman, put her in his trunk to offer from oakland, said he beat her up and run to take her to mexico where he threatened to kill her. he was charged with nine felonies in this incident. we'll be right back after the break. hey marcel, watch this! hey marcel, watch this!
