secondly, or thirdly, and lastly the essential recommendation of this report is get out of business. transferred to the fair policy fair practices of the state of california the responsibilities of this ethics commission i urge you to act if ways to implement that recommendation. >> thank you. >> good morning. i'm tom. i want to compliment the grand jury for the report it's an excellent report. it seems like as the city is all pretense and no practice i strongly urge you to follow the recommendations of the grand jury report. i briefly looked your draft response it's a total ignoring of the recommendations of the grand jury. i stron ask you to adapt most of the recommendation by the grand jury. thank you >> any other public comment before we get to the gentleman from the grand jury? >> good morning. >> good morning. >> i'm robert i was the primer author of this report yeah. i was the deputy foreperson of the grand jury as well. it's a lengthy report i'm going to try to sum up with a lot of the recommendations and finding of the report. in analyzing the situation with the ethics commi

the nato i wonder why on earth we at all need nato today when the warsaw pact has disappeared but secondly i also wonder how could we survive at that time when tension was much bigger when there were much more nuclear weapons in europe etc so i mean this is bad intellectual thinking but i tell you the ministers of foreign affairs and defense and prime ministers at least here are spending more money on spin doctors and marketing their on intellectual views than they do on listening to. some people happen to know something about these things it's part of a propaganda war yeah i agree with you on the propaganda side of it but i think this approach is actually paying off because if sweden or finland were indeed to join nato that would provoke some sort of reaction on the part of russia at least in far as far as military calculus is concerned so there would be certain changes and then military posturing for example more troops on the border you know some of their rockets will have to be. repositioned let's put it this way so after all these imagine threat could become a very real threat at leas

tobacco and liquor advisement on stores that face into the neighborhoods some of out inclines but secondly, it make me think about why do we put this into place why allow the advertising for a loophole >> at least a number of the members of the board we all postdate 1965 when the definition was crafted our working assumes thas has been that everyday when we walk by a store in the tenderloin and see dan's liquor store and a or whatever and ofrnlts see a somewhat sign for coca-cola our understanding the amenity has been induced and helping the business afford business opportunities and the branding it might not otherwise get supervisor wiener suggested there are shifts but in our estimation we allow a by sign to allow the business to present itself to its business and gain the attraction and support the business. >> in the time that sorry i realize it's confusing us with the ordinance sign it's much older than that. in the interim period can we talk about the business signage we want to allow if it's true it snbz are getting a benefit you you know, i want to be able to consider the impact it

secondly, in terms of commissioner antonini's comments all the fees have to have a nexus study and also, if you look at prop m and go over what happened through the years until today, i think in some ways you can character prop m as a failure one of the reasons prop m was put forgot will it's not only housing but office development and in that regard it was supposed to be as commissioner fong pointed out a 3 legged stool then the fact we're not meeting our housing goals and not meeting our transit demands given prop ms attempt to do that has not worked if anyone is look at prop m it ought not to be from the standpoint of upping the square footage but try to figure out what more intensive relationship can be established between the 3 land uses. that's my last comment i think forever >> thank you. >> commissioners, if there's nothing further we can move into department matters item 10 commissioners comments. >> i ask you adjourn the meeting even if doug writing who passed away last week he was a member in the 80s of this commission the city architect in the commission an ex officio positi

secondly, we would require that anyone engaged in this economic activity b.a. will have to pay their fill takes that will account for millions of additional dollars and that's a fundamental part of what we need to do if this activity is permitted in our city and thirdly, every permanent resident get lishlt insurance. there's one more rule that was suggested by landlord and tenants and included to protect rent 0 control. the idea there have been tenant that have made more in a particular month then owed to their landlord no tenant can make more than in a particular month in rent control not undermining those laws we require that all apartment in 2 or more units be subject to regulation and if they've been found to be renting in a short term they'll be subject to penalties and also in a resident is no idea found in violation they're on a black list so that person has to come to compliance or subject to penalties and i'll mention that under our proposal every hosting platform will be required to notify the yourselves of applicable you city laws and hopefully, befo

and, secondly, you have on your calendar for october 7th - will august 7th a report on prop m and the staff has written editorials and the mayor taken a position i have found for my quest through this records no one has any records i've found under recent almost no information in the department of the relationship between the office and the housing in relation and the transfer fee no one understands three years of community work that went into housing fees, transit fees in the late 60s and 70s and early 80s in addition to report from the plaintiff which didn't know anything at all about the history you ask the people to make reports to the commission. so we don't have to use other comment periods on august 7th which we will do it's important you understand the original origin of laws that are monthlyal policies they came from this side of the ailing so prop m didn't move out of the air on the ballot of november of 86 there has been years of struggle to get a housing fee and transportations fee the fact they're not being impolsz bugs me the most thank you >> is there any additional pub

secondly, the low commodity prices like oil. third, a slowly improving economy. fourth, we have record earnings and finally, the u.s. is still the best place to put money. next, what could derail the rally other than a significant global crisis there is two red flags. a rapid rise in rates like above expectation numbers or a change in the fed outlook. secondly, a significant profit margin deterioration, we're at record high profit margins right now but high erica mod did prices for higher labor costs could compress earnings. corporations would have to raise prices then. that's difficult for now. barring a global crisis, most market watchers say the up trend will likely continue. for "nightly business report", at the new york stock exchange. >>> patricia edwards believes the markets will go higher through the end of the year and just raised her target to 2060. she's managing director of u.s. bank wealth management. patty, that's a bullish forecast. if you're right, that would mean that the s&p 500 for the year of 2014 would be up 11.5%. what is going to drive stoc

that will take advantage of those people to justify what they're doing they operate illegal, and, secondly, they operate without having to deal with the labor issues and labor unions and organized labor they operate without having to meet my regulations about fire safety, other safety conditions in the unit, operate widely unit with numerous code violations yet they're allowed to operate. and they're allowed to completely endorse the interests of their neighborhoods. if you're handing out keys to a multiple unit building i don't know who is going to be there i'm not protected for my safety by having a safe building strangers are allowed to come in and out. i need to reiterate what was said about enforcement and urge whatever it adapted there's a dedication of funding and a dedicated staff and a source of funds to fund the staff so we know there's an adequate enforcement all i have those things are illegal but nothing is being enforced >> thank you. next speaker. >> good afternoon commissioners i'm john. i'm a resident of san francisco and i have disables that stem from a collision here in

secondly, please consider in more debt the risk to rent control 5 thousand units a day available online. you had to act when 26 hundred were condos because of the outcry from the community 5 thousand look at the numbers. it's pretty horrible. and it should be at least illegal to charge more than the rent i personally think that 90 days is too long 3 months of a year is considered occasional use come on. let's look at besides the risk of rent colonel but to resident perhaps the property owner didn't know that the unit is being rented out by someone their insurance will be cancelled as soon as the insures hear about it one fire could displace all the neighbors. right now we segregate hotel and bed and breakfasts must have conditional use permits not making a citywide change. there's no current enforcement who really benefits i may benefit today, if i rent out any home are apartment but who is ben the real estate interests and let's look at this more deeply to protect housing for san francisco residents. thank you. thank you >> thank you. next speaker. okay. i'll call more names (calling n

secondly, the energy issue channeled the coast. that killed the vegetation which was the glue that held that together. we had a very coastal plan which puts it in a part of developing this with many other folks. we're on the path plan. those are the biggest. >> turning now to a state issue that will certainly come up if you are elected governor. the minimum wage. what is your view on state action to rage minimum wage or a federal bill that will raise minimum wage? >> in louisiana we have huge positive industrial projects coming along relating to natural gas. we have great job opportunities. the obvious challenge is to train people to meet the opportunities. if you have the right holding -- welding certificate, you can walk into your first job ever and be earning 60,000 plus a year. that is a great salary in louisiana. in four years, you can be $100,000. our biggest challenge is workforce development and training. i'm going to be focused to get people with those opportunities, not a minimum wage job flipping hamburgers. >> you're li
