supervisor scott weiner: okay. in the end for members of the public, it doesn't matter who is removing it as long as it's being removed. a question and then i will turn it over to supervisor kim. what is the permit, we get loose -- a lot of questions about at&t is putting boxes in the road of way and they should be paying for that. i understand there is a permit fee and revenue from each box understate law for use of the public right-of-way. >> there are two fees. there is a dpw permit fee. at&t pays for a technical review. then again pays dpw again if there is a hearing and at&t pays another fee if the permit is ultimately approved. that's the dpw permitting process. as far as the franchising fee, that's up to the controllers and revenue that at&t obtains in csf. we have figures for that for the past year. supervisor scott weiner: i'm sure at&t can address this when they speak. i heard it's about 5 percent of the revenue from the box. i'm sure it will be addressed. in terms of the permit, in terms of permitting fe

supervisor scott weiner: yes. continue on and i just want to make sure because there have been questions about noticing and who gets notified and i want to make sure you talk about that. you can go e back to your presentation. >> you can prompt me too. we are on the timeline. do you want me to go over the timeline? it's history about how at&t has deployed the cabinets. i'm not sure if that's something you are interested in. since 2006, at&t has been seeking excavation permits and as you spoke to as going to the courts and there was an appeal and currently it's still going to the courts. due to the fact that judge denied the petition in categorical exemption in at&t project, we are continuing on with issuing excavation permits. so i don't know if you have any other questions with regards to that. okay. so let's go on to the keypoints. you also mentioned the mou agreement. we have an agreement with mou agreement. there will be an annual meeting with the public works. it includes additional noticing for each cabinet

supervisor scott weiner: thank you. mr. blake man? nothing? great. supervisor cohen, any concluding remarks? supervisor malia cohen: i have so much to think about. thank you for bringing this matter before us, supervisor wiener. i think i have spoken a lot on this particular topic. i'm ready to move along on the rest of the agenda. supervisor scott weiner: thank you. i would like to thank you all for participating in this hearing. this has been a very helpful hearing on many fronts. supervisor cohen can we continue to the call of the chair? supervisor malia cohen: continue to the call of the chair. supervisor scott weiner: without objects, that will be the order. >> madam clerk please call item 3. we are in a brief recess. okay we are joined by supervisor breed who is the author of item 3. supervisor breed. supervisor london breed: thank you, good evening now. this legislation will allow the developer of 555 fulton street project to proceed with the demolition and other entitlement. it expands the special use district f

supervisor scott weiner: thank you. next speaker. >> good afternoon supervisors. my name is january with the home improvement association. i'm here representing myself today. supervisor wiener i'm sure you remember last july 21, 2012, you sent out an e-mail to all the residents who are communicating with you on your vote on the at&t utility box installation. in it you stated that neighbors will have a say and won't get a box if they don't want one. i'm going leave a copy of your memo with the clerk if you wouldn't mind. and that if you told at&t not to place a box in a particular neighborhood or street, the box would not go in. so, how do we make this promise happen beyond the successful of koshd heights memorandum. on the aesthetics it's not working out real well. the bottom line is this is well beyond mr. blake man's area and it's probably well beyond all of our areas because it's return on stockholder issue for the corporation at&t. so i would encourage you strongly to work with out tech communication people and even

supervisor scott weiner: thank you. mr. tieg, is this adding any parcels into western so many plan that were not in it before? >> it's actually removing one. there is a parcel on 10th street the most northern parcel within western so many a it it was only parcel on c 3g which is in the other two parcels at the same intersection. there is no other c 3g. supervisor scott weiner: nothing has been brought in? you know i have a bias here and i won't restate why i did so but are there other areas that are more restrictly rezoned? >> no. the heights are the same and the parcels along mission street that were cm, their fairly high. the parcels rezoned the muo and east soma is staying. the muo district is more permissive than the current slr district which allows office where slr does not. the c 3g zoning along market octavia with the sud controls will allow opportunity but also require that it be primarily residential. >> okay. thank you. is there any additional public comment? seeing none, public comment is closed. >> okay supervi

supervisor scott weiner: yeah. mou. memorandum of understanding. >> also the dpw stuff today is not available. the regulations for some reasons -- supervisor scott weiner: okay. talk to dpw. we'll make sure it's available. next speaker. >> chairman wieners, supervisors, my name is brand anderson in a community organization but here as an individual. our supervisor farrell made the same comments as you that if you don't want them they are not going to be there. we made calls about 311 and 1-800. i think dpw who is in charge of this she should have provided you spreadsheets that said we get 150 calls or 311, here are the dates and locations. i don't know if that's occurred. in the same breath i think at&t should be talking to dpw to say we got a call, here is what we did and where we did it and talk about that to communicate. dpw has a long way to go to figure out how to run this process. it appears flawed to me. i would also find a way to identify the box. if i go to say here is box 3, here is the location, everyone know

the hello i'm scott thompson are welcome to after the other job title for scott thompson is host to the news talk to them contributing to the future economy in services mark richard scott has hosted after ten for more than a year ranked from the get go he knows others say he knows he's a dad. what to expect the norse response will be in the sky please send it to the provocation and explain forests little bit. howell north previews. these exercises that take place actu boss will respond consequently the national duty. his sudden changes like are we talking about some sort of. that situation went on some decor. stephen jones exclusion man and one million units. it's so different from its really a good friend like that dad has resolved the situation the council take it very. we know the north is very unpredictable. um let's say another sudden change occurs within the regime. he expected us to respond. and the worst decision of a news editor and a program host might seem like two different worlds. any look like two different fields. but the experiences from these two fields lead into one an

supervisor scott weiner: we are adjourned. thank you very much. [ meeting is adjourned ] >> >> >> >> >> >> good afternoon, and welcome to the san francisco board of supervisors land use and economic development committee. i am scott wiener, the chairman of the committee, to my right is supervisor jane kim, our committee vice-chair and to my left is supervisor malia cohen. and supervisor cohen i would like to welcome you back. our clerk is lisa miller and i would like to thank sfgtv for broadcasting this hearing specifically larson and -- any announcements? >> the clerk: yes. please silence all electronic devices. any speaker cards should be submitted to the clerk. items acted upon today will appear in the agenda on january 28th unless notified. >> we have a robust turnout for today's hearing. we have overflow seating in the main board of supervisors chamber room 250. if you have completed your public comment or your item is completed and you are inclined to give up your seats some someone can come in from the overflow, that wo

supervisor scott weiner: thank you. i would mentioned other situations where that happened and at the hearing got that result. i would encourage you to talk to at&t and dpw. >> hello supervisors, my name is erica sampson with the college hill association on the southwest corner of vernal heights with supervisor wiener district. i'm here to learn more about the process and enjoyed all of the discussion preceding. and to also determine at&t's true commitment to greening and at&t utility cabinet has been approved on my block at 89 richmond. personally i'm opposed to the boxes being above ground because of blight and obstruction. the positive college aspects of the greening aspects committed to. the box walk to neighbors to president and myself. we met with lynn susan of at&t on october 2013 after observations were raised by other neighbors. we determined no other locations were possible on our block and you -- undergrounding was not possible and shifted the entire block not just parallel bought the green our entire neighbo

>> reporter: scott, the snow is coming down fast and furious. it started earlier on this afternoon, it will stack up quickly, snowfall rates at one to two inches per hour. we are not alone here in southeastern, massachusetts. look at significant snow totals anywhere from here in southern new england down through new york city. many seeing six to 12 inches of snow there. four to eight down to d.c., their biggest snowstorm in several years. we have to gek go back to 2007 to see a snowstorm on the mall. and snow extending to north carolina with this one, scott. >> pelley: what do you expect is coming next? >> the cold is the big story. we go forward through the rest of this month and the start of february, even just storm we've got subzero highs across the upper midwest, teens as far south as tennessee and the pattern for the rest of this month, this is going to be one that's stuck for a long time, the jet stream carving out the big trough in the central and eastern united states and the extended period of temperatures 10 to 30 degrees below averag

it is the new reporter returns to her desk looking relieved when scott says okay day. its agenda oh six to two visits here right turns and also set on top. these are coming during the last week. from diplomacy and national defense. the thirty in the middle. i mean. to the agricultural and economic there's another record for committing them. in this we'll see on the committee day dedicated to agriculture just look at the full name in that i would get it. he edits to scripts and dozens of reporters to cover many different sectors. russia that is has cooled off with his strong man passes for a careful approach to this. i mean. my eyes. so it should score but some things happened that sort of greece during the correction atheists are known for their broadcasting expertise but scott answers readers' questions this one works whether going to be forced to come to the requests the creed is to closely observe albany zach comes now that i know i don't know don't know everything that's that's for sure the money i do i do follow the korean is obviously um. through what the reporte

supervisor scott weiner: the call goes

>> well, scott, i would push back on that. we here in day one of this snow event and we have our city moving again with the exception of the freeways. during 2011, that was a four-day event that had much worse results than this. >> pelley: so you would say that the situation in the city of atlanta, which you're responsible for, is what now? >> i would say that it's significantly improving. 80% of our roads are passable. we had zero fatalities. we had very few major vehicle accidents. we had 797 police responses. our hospitals remained open. our fire stations remained open. and our police precincts remain open. and one day into a very severe storm event our city as you can see by your camera shot is functioning and is going to be ready for business within one day. >> pelley: mayor kasim reed of the city of atlanta. mr. mayor, thank you very much for taking a minute to be with us. >> no, thank you, scott. >> pelley: now, reporter mike paulska of a cbs affiliate was in the thick of it last night and here's how he reported it. >>

supervisor scott weiner: supervisor cohen? supervisor malia cohen: what's the purpose of the ballard? >> to protect it if it were to jump the curb and just in general to protect it. there is sensitive electronic equipment inside. supervisor malia cohen: i don't know the difference between the cabinets? >> all these cabinets are at&t cabinets. >> do they usually put ballards around them? >> the new ones. another consistent concern is trash and blight. we are not sure why people tend to place their trash on cabinets but that's a real persistent issue. finally it looks well but i think there has been a lot of concern about the at&t technicians for thing forgetting to clean up after themselves. it's already difficult to property owners to see the technicians leave. >> what is that? >> that is just wiring left behind. finally in summation, at&t would like to place a total of 126. i think that has gone down to locations and combining boxers. we approved 185 sites to install and only disapproved 9. there is also 180 in construction a

supervisor scott weiner: that is the motion. if there is no further discussion we can take that motion without objection. madam clerk please call item 2. item 131202: agenda[hearing - at&t sidewalk utility boxes]1312022.sponsors: wiener; kim, farrell and avaloshearing, directed to at&t, the department of public works, and the planning department to discuss the roll-out of the at&t u-verse telecommunications upgrade, focusing on the permitting and site installation of the sidewalk cabinets, and to discuss the current community outreach and permitting process and suggest improvements. sf 21234 >> supervisor scott weiner: thank you. i called for this hearing to provide a status update and informational hearing on the at&t boxes placed in our city. i want to thank our supervisors kim and avalos for cosponsoring the hearing. more than a year ago we had a ceqa appeal at the board of supervisors for the at and t boxes and it was affirmed by the court whether a legal issue of cat categorical was appropriate. we didn't want these boxes o

>> reporter: scott, good evening. cold will be the big story moving forward. we're digging out in those frigid temperatures. 3.8 inches of snow in d.c. philly has had three six-plus inch snowstorms before the start of february for the first time in recorded history. over a foot half? of snow just south of boston. now, the lows tonight, frigid, cyr owe in cleveland, 2 in green bay, philadelphia looking at the teens. and the windchill biting, subzero in boston tomorrow morning and 30 to 40 below zero in the upper midwest as we kick on thursday. for an upside down world, how about this? juneau, alaska, highs in the 40s for the next several days while atlanta looking at highs in the 30s. freeze warnings as far south as the afterglades and, scott, if you're interested in snowfall, we're watching a potential for next monday. >> pelley: eric fisher, thanks very much. naturalledly price of heating fuel is rising. natural gas is up nearly 6%. propane even more. here's dean reynolds. >> reporter: propane trucks are crisscrossing the midwest, distributing fuel to custome

>> yes. >> reporter: 75,000 potholes, scott! and by comparison, for the hole month of january last year the city filled 55,000 potholes and, of course, there are four days left in january this year. >> pelley: and 400,000 chicago students staying home from school. dean, thanks very much. staying inside did not always provide relief today. here's jamie yuccas of our minneapolis station wcco. >> reporter: the temperature dropped to 16 degrees below zero overnight. meals on wheels volunteer michael stevens was making sure his clients had food and heat. >> hey, man, how are you doing? how are you feeling? >> pretty good. >> just want to make sure people are okay because when it gets really cold like this, this is bone-chilling cold. just want to make sure people are okay. >> reporter: the deep freeze has driven demand for natural gas to record levels in the minneapolis area. the timing could not have been worse for this explosion on one of the main gas pipelines into north dakota and minnesota. it prompted a plea from supplier excel

lastly, scott, the u.s. government will now begin to purge data collected on foreign citizens that's not relevant to terrorist investigations. >> pelley: major, thanks, as for edward snowden, he is still holed up in russia where he was granted temporary asylum. he faces criminal charges here. snowden says he still has secrets to reveal. today the u.s. supreme court agreed to take a pair of cases from california and massachusetts that involved cell phone searches by the police. at issue is whether the police may search a criminal suspect's cell phone without a warrant. the court will decide whether that violates the 14th amendment protection against unreasonable searches. tonight fire crews have a handle on the fire northeast of los angeles but for 2,000 people it's still too dangerous to go home. the flames destroyed five houses in glendora, 17 other buildings were damaged. planes dropped fire retardant to prevent flairups in the bone dry hills. carter evans in glendora for us tonight. carter? >> reporter: s

supervisor scott weiner: thank you. with that -- oh. supervisor malia cohen: i know we want to go on. i have a question for lynn real quick. it goes to the interpretation or when there is a disagreement the interpretation of the guidelines, maybe you can speak to your interpretation as well. >> dpw has frustration in working with the guidelines. we are trying to make it more clear. for example, supervisor kim asks about alternate sites. why is it on the property owner to find alternate sites. the property owner doesn't know the guidelines and when at&t in terms of trying to reach out to community like they say they do just has a box walk during business hours and the property owner can't attend, how well they know that they are supposed to provide alternate sites, how do they know they are supposed to be within 300 feet. they don't know. i think there is a huge room for improvement on at&t sites to communicating why it can meet or wouldn't meet. there have been many hearings where the public even not knowing the guidelines come up with

scott, it took us about two and a half hours to go just 20 miles here in new jersey. the heavy snow rolled in across the northeast around mid- afternoon. we were with police corporal kenneth rocco in roxbury township, new jersey. >> you have more volume on the roads, more accidents, more disabled vehicles and stuff like that. we just hope everyone drives carefully and give them enough time to get to where they have to go safely. >> reporter: one person was hurt in this seven-car pileup on new york's long island. whiteout conditions and a multi- vehicle crash forced indiana state police to close a 60-mile stretch of i-65 for hours. walking was not much better in new york city, where transit officials warned two-foot-drifts could stop rail service. philadelphia expects more than a foot of snow. mayor michael nutter. >> the time of day, the intensity of the storm, and temperatures in the low 20s, teens, and actually in the single digits all happening at the same time. this is one to be very, very careful about. >> reporter: a state of emergency was declared in new york,

in other words, scott, u.s. athletes should not wear uniforms away from the olympic venues. >> pelley: opening ceremonies due on february 7. bob, thanks very much. today it looked like peace talks would fail before they even started in the effort to end the most vicious war in the world. both the syrian dictatorship and the rebels trying to overthrow it vowed to walk out of the talks, but now they have agreed to meet in geneva tomorrow. no one is expecting progress any time soon. more than two million refugees have fled that war. holly williams met a syrian family on the turkish border who told her the assad dictatorship is using a new weapon against civilians. >> reporter: the haj ali family fled aleppo this week, walking and hitchhiking for two days to reach the safety of turkey. they told us that on the weekend their neighborhood, al hamra, was pulverized by barrel bombs, a new weapon in syria's civil war. this internet video thought to show the aftermath of the attack on al hamra, though we can't verify it.

>> reporter: i think that's the hope, scott.hat we need is a better way of picking up subtle but clinically significant brain damage that occurs because of a hit to the head. what's interesting is perhaps they can become combined with the riddell helmet sensor data we're getting and in arizona state they found that almost three quarters of the hits to the head that occurred to the players occurred during practice and the force was just about the same as during an actual game. so maybe you could combine all of this information into a much better strategy. >> pelley: most hits in the practice. thank you, jon. a family has been reunited thanks to a photo that turned up in the sunday paper. that's just ahead.

>> reporter: scott, bad weather appears to have played a big factor in december hiring. as one economist put it "job growth got snowed in." the drop in the unemployment rate looks good but the biggest factor was people dropping out of the work force. we met one person today who is trying not to do that. >> people tend to blame themselves to begin with but in reality it really is the fact that there's not enough jobs out there for everybody. >> reporter: 58-year-old john fugazzi has been out of work for more than 15 months. he's lost his house and had to move in with his mother. not long ago he was running a frozen food department for a supermarket chain. now he's job hunting in a new jersey library. >> quitting isn't an option so no matter how hard it is, if we give up, what's the option? >> reporter: but more and more americans are leaving the work force. fewer than 63% have a job or are actively looking for work. that's the lowest level since 1978. economists cite three main reasons: aging baby boomers are retiring at a growing rate; the poor economy is keeping student

as you mentioned, scott, the president will take some action on his own. he will eventually sign an executive order raising the minimum wage for some federal contract workers to $10.10 an hour, but the white house has not told us when that executive order will be signed or how many workers will be affected. >> pelley: major, thanks. the idea of using executive orders to go around congress riles republicans, of course. john boehner, the speaker of the house told us this morning, "we do have a constitution. if the president ignores it, he'll run into a brick wall." late today, we spoke with the republican chairman of the house budget committee, paul ryan. the president is going to say in his speech tonight that he's going to work with congress where he can and go around you where he must. how does that sound to you? >> well, we each take an oath of office to swear to protect constitution. it sound to me like he wants to go around want constitution. if you want to write a law, the elected representatives here in the house and the senate, the legislative branc

supervisor scott weiner: thank you. mr. wilson. before you go let me call the final batch of cards that i have. these are all the cards i have. >> my name is bill wilson. as you know i'm the president of the neighborhood association. i wanted to speak to process. because i have learned a lot today. mainly because what is described today isn't exactly what happened in our case. mr. blake man did come to our neighborhood association. i'm not exactly sure when, but it had to have been at least 4 years ago because presidential terms are 2 years and we've been through at least two more presidents since i was president. he came, he spoke, he promised we would hear from him and we never have although the boxes are already sprouting in our neighborhood. one of the things i learned today according to the guideline 18 the facility shall not be in front of boundaries or open space. now i understand also hearing further that that was because when it was originally proposed the original proposal was it couldn't have hit the park but evidently w

>> reporter: good evening, scott. the white house insists no final decisions have been made by numerous sources tell us the president will preserve most of the existing surveillance, technology, and tactics but will require more additional government oversight. in addition, president obama will keep the storage of phone and internet data under the supervision of the national security agency, require high level administration approval for any surveillance of foreign heads of state and add a privacy advocate to the secrecy court in charge of foreign surveillance. all this, scott, in a speech friday at the justice department. >> pelley: major garrett at the white house. thank you. this was one of the deadliest days in iraq since the u.s. pulled out. at least 70 people were killed in bombings, part of a religious war between the two main factions of islam. elizabeth palmer in baghdad found that many iraqis now blame the government for fanning the flames. >> reporter: iraq's security forces trained and equipped with americ
