secondly, to think about how it is possible to change the budget timeline in the district. it's been an ongoing issue that by the time budgets are active kids are out of school and not a possibility to get the parents feedback on the budget allocations, and, secondly, we would like to find a way to demonstrate the ways it stakeholder engagement has been engaged to see how their voices have been heard in the el cap. that involves conceptually that well. and so in terms of the process that's our recommendations at this point (clapping) >> so next, we have the recommendations for the concept to be included in the el california so as we hear before conversation was the main thing inner finding we have the concerns about confusiversation with the teachers so one of the recommendations to finish the plan we don't see the el cap so we would like to see the allocated sources and identify the strategies in the el cap for the community engagement plan including the strategies so they can ores those that's one of the conversations mentioned. if a student a ready to fail a course they

secondly, what's declared terrorism or a terrorist organization is the organization itself. our present president has said that, according to our constitution, any egyptian who is not found guilty of a crime and is ready to work according to constitution peacefully still has a role in politics. that has not been taken away from them. but no egyptian, be that an islamist, and the brotherhood is not the only one, the brotherhood or someone like me who is more towards a secularist, and if i decide i'm not going to work beyond the constitution or want to be b beyond it, i don't have a role in politics. we have a challenge to come together. the next president will have that challenge. but i don't really believe that the government is reacting to a political issue. it's reacting to violence. >> charlie: you really believe that? >> i really do. >> charlie: now, this extreme measure, taking that step of sentencing all these people to death is the best way to get egypt both safe and on the right track to democracy? >> well, that was the second point i was going to clarify. first of a

secondly, we have a lot of high-tech but haven't had the workforce investment from the congress which we've been trying to pass to invest in workforce training and education so that people who have been unemployed, especially under the bush economic policies and during that era, they haven't been able to get the workforce training and the type of skills training requisite that's requisite for these new jobs that exist now. >> and to you, congressman, this is the kind of stuff that used to be bipartisan. she's talking about investing in american workers. the other thing that used to be bipartisan was investing in infrastructure. i want to show you something happening in your state. roll this tape. this is the kind of stuff that's happening across the country. look at this. this is a street falling into a river and people screaming and watching that go down. why? because across the country, we're not investing enough in american infrastructure and republicans won't work with democrats to do that. why aren't you guys reaching across to support the president with infrastructure investment

of supervisors of a lease or license to give comments on the proposed use of the property, and, secondly, on the proposed sewer. my understanding is i haven't seen the legislation but it was briefly subscribed that probability accommodates what we were getting at but the earliest will be tomorrow morning and get back to robin assuming those changes were made 10 telephone graft hill dwellers will not and a have at about objection >> for clarification you wanted to know about the clarification. >> to have a quorum i suggested the term public forum prior to submission to the board where the decision making department public works or planning will have a representative who's working on the project listens eileen to pmdz. >> thank you very much. i'd like to direct it to the city attorney. mr. weber you're going to get our question swrz >> from the sfoofs i'll bring up the amendments but the nose provision adams the tenants e attendance within 3 hundred feet of the plaza will receive notification and all the neighborhood organizations that want to get the notification to be on the alloys low r

secondly there are other tennis court at the park dedicated and however this situation is not similar to our situation at the nov i didn't courts park there are dedicated courts between the playground as well as the christopher playground. the basketball poles again would be located so that they would be at the end of the courts in this photograph the adjacent neighbor has windows that are more than 20 feet above the courts by shifting the basketball poles to the end of the court they've be approximately 40 feet distance from those windows so this should address the concerns about the basketball poles being next to the windows. the proposal is also to have the tennis slash basketball court primarily on 3 sides. the fourth side would open up to the park as it does with the basketball court you recall the budget court is used for other activities by situating it this way it will be welcoming to the other activities and because it's a small park we want to not compartment mel's the park to make it feel smaller. and this overhead we have the existing park lay out next to the promoted park

secondly, the new cars will have much better cooling systems. the old cars that were designed in the 1960s really were designed for all seated people because at that time bart could accommodate all the demands and seat everyone. and for that reason, the cooling systems were designed to deliver air to the seats, but as bart became more and more successful over the years and as a result more and more crowded and had more standees, we knew it was important to also deliver air to standees standing in the aisle and others. so, the new cars will have much better modern cooling systems and much broader distribution of air on the car. that's going to be particularly valued by people standing on a hot car on a hot summer day. finally by popular demand because bart cars are quite loud especially the old cars, we have worked on a variety of strategies that will make the new fleet quieter for those on board. we'll be putting in comprehensive -- installation. in addition to those who came to view the car model got to see a demonstration of the new door techn

secondly i want to echo commissioner maufus' point about not pigeon holding [inaudible] that kids are very much producers of media, of technology. and in terms of subsequent it rations of this plan, i'd like to see more of a connection with curriculum and how our digital district will support software programming at galileo and balboa. there was a time last year we were talking about trying to adopt software. unfortunately we were beat to the punch by new york city schools, but i think it's something we should continue to explore. and then another piece i'd like to see in other iterations of this plan is how technology can be a tool for inclusion for all of our students. we heard from hearing impaired families and how we can really help those families by used inclusion, as well as our english language learners. i think there are much better ways to serve those families with this technology. and then i just wanted to congratulate the family technology survey. this is really great to have data on hand and be able to see and to really [inaudible] some of the myths we've maintained about

secondly we at the same time with this project will be not just replacing the old cars, but dramatically increasing the number of cars in the bart fleet to relive crowded conditions on the system and help us prepare for even larger demands of the future. the third slide is entitle fleet of the future. the way forward. and we have 775 new train cars -- on order already. it was a design build contract. so the first segment of it is a design process. none of the cars are being built per say yet, but the assembly will begin very soon on the first 10 what we are calling pilot cars that are for test purposes to prove safety and to prove reliability. our goal is to have a fleet size of at least 1,000 cars. by comparison, the current fleet has 669 cars. if we achieve our goal of 1,000 cars, it will be a 50 percent increase in the number of cars that are available to our can ustomers. -- can an -- the good news on a dramatic goal is that we have identified 85 percent of the funding needed to purchase the thousand cars. we do have a shortfall of approximately $400 million to purchase the remaining

and secondly, that we don't put ourselves in a legal bind. and so i don't -- this is just a statement -- i don't know where to go with this. here we're going through and picking this apart -- picking this apart in minutia, but there are much bigger issues at play here and i think there is some bigger global questions that need to be asked before we get too far ahead of this. >> commissioner dwight, i agree with you 110% on those comments. and that leads me to our next question here, no. 3 about should this threshold number of locations remain at 11 or more, regardless of locality of original? and i am just going to skip to the next one because it kind of ties into that. we have san francisco soup company at 16 right now. they started here and you mentioned super dooper. let me tell you that the people who own super dooper and the other restaurants, they are heroes. look at what they have opened up and what they have done. in my personal opinion, we should up that limit for local businesses. i mean, it's sad that san francisco soup company tho

secondly, as we hope to show with some of the information today your help, your support particularly in investing in the system. today we will talk more perhaps about vehicles, but also targeted and focused efforts to deal with systemic problems on the vehicles are paying dividends. across the board the fleet is up. the number -- i guess the third thing i would say we're sitting on a five year high with ridership growth. we don't expect that to go down. we expect it to go up and that's the good news as well as you said a challenge. number four, while there are clearly improvements we will talk about and communications to the riders it's one of the challenges but we think there is good news here in the indisises so without i would like to move right to -- actually we talked about that. this is important only in the sense that the approach we're taking is really drill down into the basics to improve the core system and to do it both in hitting home runs as well as hitting singles and in the last year this is a series along the rail lines. this does include the bus lines ofests that we

secondly, we ask for an increase in support for peacekeeping.as cars seniormost members propose, we must win over the hearts and minds of africans. the 2014 global humanitarian appeal is only 20% funded. . unfortunately, the administration's budget request to congress cut this by 28%. if enacted, international responders a difficult time addressing humanitarian needs. --rth, target interventions from january to march of this year, over 90% of the rape cases we have seen in our centers have been gang raped committed by armed actors. this is a very significant increase in rape cases. in addition, women have been marginalized across all aspects of the response. to date, the u.s. has not committed funds or medicated its strategic intentions beyond december 20, 2014. efforts to reopen the u.s. embassy should be prioritized and expedited. congress could be helpful and accelerating the full engagement of international fight can -- financial institutions. the u.s. has stated that the prevention of mass keys constitutes a core moral and national security

secondly we asked for an increase in support for peaceful and reconciliation issues. the deployment of military police alone will not ensure peace and security as y'all know. as the senior most religious leader stated we must disarm the hearts and minds of central africans. third we ask to fulfill urging anitere needs. the degree of human suffering is staggering if the 2014 humanitarian appeal only 20% funded. the first party for conger should be protecting appropriations funding for the international disaster assistance and migration assistance accounts. unfortunately the administration's fy2015 budget request of congress cuts 20% and mra by 33%. for 3%. connected international respondents will have a difficult time addressing humanitarian needs. fourth target interventions towards the protection and empowerment of women and girls. from january to march of this year over 90% of the rape cases we have seen in our centers have been gang rapes committed by armed actors. this is a very significant increase in rape cases that mercy corps has seen. condition women have bee

secondly, that it went through so many hands.g that went out, you know, on twitter or it was a mistake. this is something they had a chance to look at and look at again. and they still allowed it to be out there. to me it's unforgivablunforgiva. this is tremendous harm. that person will have to be taken out of afghanistan, the station chief. and this is elementary. everyone knows from the day you arrive in congress, never mind the white house, you know that no one is ever to know the identification of a station chief in any country, never mind afghanistan. >> so you're saying someone should lose their job. and i just have to ask you this before we go. breaking news here. the u.s. state department, reporting is advising americans to depart libya immediately. they have a new warning citing unpredictable and unstable political situation. here we are and no one has been held accountable at all for the death and murder of four american citizens. will anyone ever be? >> they certainly should be. and i'm hoping that the investigation is

secondly, what is declared terrorist is the organization itself. our president has said according to our constitution and egyptian who is not found guilty of a crime and is ready to work according to the constitution has a role in politics. that has not been taken away. no egyptian, and islamist, and not the only one, the brotherhood, or someone like me who is more toward the secularist, if i decide i'm not going to work behind the constitution or i want to be violent, i don't have a role in politics. we have a challenge to come together. the next egyptian president will have that challenge. i don't really believe the government is reacting to a political issue. it is reacting to violence. >> you really believe that? this extreme measure of taking that step, sentencing people to death, is the best way to get egypt safe and on the right track to democracy? >> that is the second point. first of all, we have no authority on the courts. >> "we" being? >> the government. they decide from a to z. let me clarify something, what happened in one of the case

secondly, the family members of chris stevens have pleaded publicly for this not to be politicized. let me read to you their words and i quote. what chris never would have accepted was the idea that his death would be used for political purposes, end of quote. so i feel that i owe it to the families of ambassador stevens and the other brave americans who lost their precious lives to bring some minimal level of balance to this process and to check false claims wherever they may arise. in short, ladies and gentlemen, i believe we need someone in that room to simply defend the truth. defend the truth. and that is why i have agreed to serve. let me just close by saying rather than fundraising off of the murders of these four brave americans and i must tell you i find that diss pickable. i believe the best way is to bring their killers to justice and work in a bipartisan way to strengthen security for all u.s. peron ell overseas. thank you. -- personnel overseas. >> any questions? >> some members of your leadership team advised you not to do this? what ultimately was the tipping point an

winter shelters, you should specifically ear mark one shelter for homeless families at a minimum and secondly, in terms of the affordable housing, again, i think that homeless children should have priority thank you. >> thanks very much. >> next speaker. >> my name is nancy cross, and i am going to use the time limited time that i have here, to talk about some of the things that might maintain a new approach that could, and get us out of this myer that we are in and i could talk about... but i have suffered in this situation and to know the people but we have heard many people here very eloquent speaking on that and so i am going to let... and pardon me. specifically about some ideas that you have not already explored. and we have many processes for dealing with individuals. and maybe it is not adequate and several the housing is not adequate, but, when you have not really addressed what the institutions or what like the ecs contract and the standards of the facilities that the city has control of that may effect the well-being and the welfare load of the city. and if we could reduce the welf

and secondly you must grant a large project authorization pursuant to planning code section 329 to allow the construction of the two proposed five-story, 58' tall buildings and allow modifications to requirements for rear yard under planning code section 124 and dwelling unit exposure and horizontal mass reduction under planning code section 270.1. as a matter of background, the project went through before the rec and park commission finding that the new shadow he'll to 0.049% of the theoretically available annual sunlight is not adverse to the use of the park. staff recommends that you take the two mentioned actions for the following reasons. first the project provides 111 new residential units of which more than 40% will be two-bedroom units and project satisfies the affordable housing requirement through the provision of units on-site. the project utilizes roof debsing courtyards and private decks and publicly accessible open space to provide all of the required open space on si the new shadow cast is relatively minor and amounts to only an additional 0.049% increment of shadow on the

secondly, many occasions, the task force has not had a quorum, but that is a direct result of the board of supervisors not filling the vacancies. so, you know, supervisors can speak that they are strong supporters of the task force, but what is more important is the actions that they take. you need to fund the task force with adequate resources to hear all the cases and make the nominations in a timely way. thank you. >> thank you. any other public comments? seeing none, public comment is now closed. [gavel] >> okay. supervisor tang, there are many, many people here. >> yes. again, i want to thank all the applicants who came out and took the time to express their interests in serving on the sunshine ordinance task force. obviously all of you know it is very important. i will speak for myself in saying that if i didn't care so much making sure we are transparent in the work we do, we really shouldn't be here. so, i really do respect what the task force does and it's really, again, like i said earlier, goes hand in hand with our work in government. with that said, i did want to really ack

secondly, israelis are israelis and they are smart as hell.hey are trying to figure out and do what way they can be most useful from their interest and affecting how the president approaches the negotiations taking place on the kinds of limits i was arranging and talking about. and they have then quite forward leaning. i think we will not get -- let's put it this way. the most extreme requirement in those areas. i think we will do pretty well in meeting what are the underlying needs of all of those requirements. then it's up to israel to say, does it meet our needs? and if so, why not.? on that basis, whether they oppose it or not. we are putting in the process and effort to relieve them of what they have considered their most dangerous threat into the region and beyond for the last three or five years. and being able to do that is a real accomplishment. >> another troubled part of the region is syria. the american policy is assad must go and tehran will not participate. is that a viable policy? >> two months ago, an old boss of mine, henry ki

. >> we have 3 options and secondly, to get a loan for the ryan white and the third becoming in the past program participants in that. it is encouraged along coastal easier where we have set time like sand and a high water table to a cause the sand to shake i'm going to get this visitation on the same bridge you'll see the water come to the surface this knocks the foundation over and pushes out the ruptured pipeline >> it is intimidating i'm talking to people as a layman who needs help. >> this is a difficult process for people to navigate we're only focused on outreach so we've got the informational and we've spoken to many different owner groups and community groups all across the city. >> outreach is critical for the retrofitting program the city has to get out to the community and help people said what they have to do and do it and raise finances so this program is an advocate and resource for the community. >> so why not skip to the theme. foremost and most to come we've been presenting community meetings and going face to face with community owners and helping people understand wha

this is the son secondly i say to you. just so's you can bet this is my guess is that when times got shot well. can t use it all you insisted that he is with thee the keys the one who didn't throw up. that's right my baby. to his lead in the morning. yes that's correct my writing. when i changed into hospice nine to one. the guys liked to see constantine. i don't. it was bj's. bj's. i just. ha. it is. joe. i . view. the who the uh the

secondly rose, you mentioned and talked about targeted intervention toward protecting women. several years ago i don't know if you know this but actually and the author of the trafficking -- gregson can become our chief of staff on the subcommittee and i learned quite horrifyingly that peacekeepers in the congo were raping little girls. here are the peacekeepers with a duty to protect with a mandate to protect had not been properly vettevetted and were out of rapg little girls. we have three hearings on it, the u.n. did issue a zero-tolerance policy to its credit, did some good work a lease on paper and some tried to do it for real. but we went there and visited not only the peacekeepers but also a place called heal africa where so many women who had been gang raped by armed individuals as you point out in your testimony were getting a faith-based approach to helping them to get their lives back. to do with the, that is unthinkable and yet they're getting some real help. juxtaposes that any with the ambassador, ambassador sanders, is it a problem to nigeria, is it a problem o

and secondly, do you know whether anyone there is actually doing so?ell, i can tell you we have been talking with the department of justice and the u.s. attorney in colorado. in fact, on friday we were able to based on an indictment we made arrests for exactly what we've been concerned about. these were colombian nationals who had invested in a marijuana business in colorado. we took action. part of the investigation went down last fall, and we were able to obtain indictments and make arrests, and there's more to come. so we have been working with the department and working with the u.s. attorney's office to bring cases that we at dea feel are significant and violate those eight factors. >> do you think that some of the things you just told me, has it led to any discussion about revisiting the decision not to challenge the state law? is has it gone that far? >> i'm not aware of any discussion. i know the stakeholders within government, ondcp, hhs and others, you know, we are finding a way to look at the data that is coming out from those states so that
