services as he alleges in his brief because administratives services by definition offers services to other business and not to members of the public. there is no change of use here. such that section 312, the code required notification. not every change of use requires 312 notification to the public. only changes of uses to certain uses and this particular use is not one that triggers section 312. contrary to what mr. williams implied, there is no notice of violation on this property from the building department. the building inspector who came out and upon a complaint made and we don't know by whom, we think that it was a neighborhood, we think that it is anonymous resulted in no notice of violation, mr. carlin came out and the contractors merely said that they were moving in and setting up their equipment and start getting ready to do work. but that no work was actually commerced until after the permit issues. and nearly moving your tools into a space and setting up painting equipment and the like is not in itself constitute work without permit. it has been vacant and bays of that

we're talking about new online enabled transportation services. they said it would be a 6 months process these workshops on april 10 and 11th will be 930 a.m. each of those mornings on 505 van ness probably go until 430 p.m. is what we're told there should be an agenda coming out about this workshop in the last week of march is what we're told and also told that the public is welcome and that people will have an opportunity to speak so i'd encourage anybody in san francisco who has an interest about the new online enabled transportation services to consider participating in this process the main questions of the discussion are these 3 questions that they initial ly put out a large list of 20 something questions but they have said publicly they will be focusing on 3. should these providers be regulated as taxis? and if so why. or should they be regulated as a third category. and to remind everyone in california taxi service is regulated at the local municipal level and limo is regulated at the state level so what they are doing is they are evaluati

those service providers are cooperative retraining order, clinic and volunteer legal services program and asian pacific islander, or legal research and legal aid and (inaudible). and in addition to those five, community-based organizations, we are requesting $18,000 in additional training dollars that the department would partner with direct service providers to give to city agencies including 911 and 311. why now? and why these agencies? >> before you is a copy of a study on secure communities in san francisco. and so just briefly in 2008, the department of homeland security, wanted to identify deportable immigrants at the point of arrest. and since then, they have been very aggressive in collecting finger prints. and they have collected between 2008 and 2010, 4 million fingerprints of these 8 percent matched immigration customs and enforcement data base. of these, about 20 percent or 65,000 people have been deported as a result of secure communities. the goal of secure communities is to deport dangerous criminals. and the reality is quite different and you will see in the report of

luke's will be required to have service of excellence in senior and community health with services specified in the development agreement. and st. luke's will be required to provide all the standard services found in general acute care hospital as specified under state law. moving on to the st. luke's medical office building, a medical office building at st. luke's is entitled as part of this process. cpmc is obligated under the term sheet and the development agreement within five years at the latest to begin construction of a new medical office building on the site of the old hospital. or offer the site to the city for the purpose of constructing such a facility. and this is essentially the same as in the previous agreement. like st. luke's, provision of baseline care for the poor and under served is a central part of this agreement. this time around we have negotiated a new and we think better way of defining this obligation. instead of using a dollar amount subject to inflation and link to cpmc's financial performance, we have negotiated a set number of patients. either charity care or me

you reduce the service and in reducing the service and you have done this so many times before from years and years as you reduce services as the buses get more conjested, more people travel in cars because they have no alternative. the idea that san francisco ans which has a fairly large aging population is going to get on a bicycle to go to their doctors appointment is absurd. so you've got to find a different way of measuring things and if you want to be proactive about service and reducing cars, then you've got to find a lot better things than measuring things than saying well in the past you know the buses weren't used so much and we're going to reduce them and for an measley -- which is nothing on your best of my knowledge on your budget. so look at new ways to reduce the cars. >> any word on the directors report? no one coming forward i guess? >> good afternoon. i was born and raised in this city in 1940 i've never seen such a shamble in my life. they block all the traffic. people are trying to jump in the left lane why don't they make cut outs on sunset i don't understand it maybe

i've utilized all those services. i've been in san francisco i've i'm an advocate for african-american males. this service has allowed me a quality of life it would be a disserve to those who are coming behind me. i'm 62 i've gotten to imagine a grass fully and also i feel that looking at tv and stuff there's not a lot of attorneys about hiv awareness and stuff but your african-american young men have flicked with this disease because they're not be sure that hiv isday. when i was first diagnosed my environmental load was at a - i'm now at 850 and my environmental load is at 71. so thank you. >> thank you very much next speaker. >> good afternoon i'm here on behalf of we feelness center. for years we have been a anchor in the community not only providing wrap around services but also providing much needed hiv health education services and linkages to general care. in the past two years the tenderloin center have gotten 16 clients to healthy conditions. i've contributed 1/3rd of our clients come from the tenderloin wit

without those services i would not be here before i and be of service to the community i'm a fighter for civil rights and i seriously hope you'll reconsider and take this is to the mayor >> thank you very much. next speaker >> thank you. i moved to this area in 2011. july 13th of of 2012 i had a heart attack. when i moved here from tennessee my viral load was high. thanks to ward 86 and this project i hope they restore the cuts and i hope you ail will help us. thank you >> thank you. next speaker. >> i'm ann i'm a social worker's. i wanted to bring some residents here today but they are not feeling well. i want to about our facility where we rely heavy on ryan whites fund to fund our y n a salaries without whom we couldn't stay licenses. we serve people with mental health issues and extremely complicated medical issues. i believe we save the city money because of our triage. we're able to observe medication and prevent a lot of infections hospital shuns not to mention possibly institutional costs since we get a lot of folks from the la begin hospital. so i'm urging you all to backfil

and they see their financial service. i supply ask you to look at this in a broad way and look at what is equitable and fair. and look at what can really expect a tenant and the land use attorneys at their side as expensive as we are to be thinking this is confusing the board of supervisors did not follow the advice to make it clearer. the zoning administrator years ago, wrote an interpretation, making it clear and you have it in front of you that the board of supervisors has decided that the list of what things are financial services is not an exclusive list. but it says such as banks that it means including but not limited to banks. simply ask that you look at the big picture, the expectations of the client, and the planning department says that it made a mistake and i am glad that it admits that. but, here we go, we have an empty storefront and it has been subject to vandalism and we have a small business that is trying to relocate and stay in the city at an affordable rate. thank you. >> mr. gladstone. >> we also have

technical assistance services in implementing pretrial services.but the demand was from 20 counties to have those services. so there is a great interest from california counties to look at this deliberate intervention to reapproach the criminal justice system. and san francisco and santa cruc county are examples. and they are both counties that had over-crowded jails. and the administrators made a deliberate attempt such as pre-trial services to change their system. and i think it has allowed san francisco and santa cruz to be ahead of the game. when realignment hits, you are better prepared to manage this increased responsibility. i think there are two case studies that we can look to and look for peer support from our local justice administrators to help other counties implement such services. >> mr. deong, would you address mr. simon's question of the tool that could have a discriminatory component. >> i want to add in there, thank you, matt, to add to what the district attorney is saying. we are currently evaluating our instrument and the half

this is not the time to change course on the hiv services. when in the; isn't that so we saw a surge of epidemics of tuberculous deaths. we can't afford to go backwards. i'm here asking you to keep those programs whole and sustain the services that protect our public health. i'll be here every year if i need to be and remind you what the case of bad health looks like >> thank you. next speaker. >> i serve on the hiv prevention planning council and i'm here today on behalf of of the harvey milk. >> first of all, for being our champions on the programs. i feel that san francisco is the best we have to take care of our community and our residents. it, it's san francisco values at its finest. other people have spoken it's a model for the world to follow. right now though we're faced with the dismanlt of this model and this is because of the failure of the federal government to respond to this epidemic as it should and come up with the funds obviously that comes in the context of our dismantling of our services. it's time for us to stand up for th

burke i scrambled services for the children that were dramatically in need so i know to have the services provided to the community in one place is a very strong drawing force and it's such an advantage for parents. i will wrap this up quick because i know my time is running out and we're talking about how toxic the community is but are you aware that bay view hunter's point is built on serpentine bed rock and primary source of asbestos and if you don't blow it up and move everyone out and i lived there is why i moved and got the toxics in the environment and the junior before me talked about it's not going away so let's do what we can and i appreciate your consideration getting this before the commission right away. thank you. >> thank you. are there any additional speakers? i have called all the cards. >> my name is michael francis. i am a retired worker. i am on medi-cal and medicare. my resources are slim. i have three kids, eight, three and five year old. this morning my wife took my son to the emergency and thought he had a strep throat. he didn't and we couldn't get in to see dr. b

we want the services. it is the location. i have a map of the toxic sites in the community i would like to leave with you so you can see what has been done and identified and shows this area as a very toxic site. as well i have -- we've had numerous conversations with the staff at the center for youth wellness and the doctor this past monday. she understands we want the service. it's the location. i don't want -- and this is my grandchildren here because dr. burke can't promise anybody in this room that opening the doors at 3450 would hinder any type of physical, mental or emotional development in that environment she wants to go. she can't prove -- she can't assure me that my grandchildren can't be affected. i don't want my grandson -- come here please. i don't want to take my son to a clinic like this so he can get a service. that is ridiculous. that is not fair to him or anybody in this room for a child to go to a wellness center like this to get a service. we're talking about -- >> speak into the mic please. >> this is wh

the director of crime prevention services. and we are proud to launch this first forum in the county of san francisco and particularly here at the hall of justice. today we have an array of presenters and keynote speeches. and district attorney opening the forum and we will have a forum by the chief and our own mayor. today we want to explain a little bit of background how this panel came about. the forum was an effort that was designed a year ago. with many key stakeholders that are present here today. the attempt was to begin bridging the dialogue between criminal justice agencies and community-based organizations. so there a strong attempt to try to help a population that is mostly impacted right now by criminal justice. by violence in general in our community. the 18-24-year-old population. today is one of the many conversations we hope. and we want to be sure that we strive and communicated to the community as a whole. that this community that we see of the rates we see that relate to this population. given this harsh rea

and particularly speaking [speaker not understood] services. a lot of agencies are coming under -- trying to come under one umbrella. what ends up happening is the services start going to different parts of the city, especially if you start -- if you start an agency and then you may end up having to go to another part of the city. what ends up happening is there is no cultural competency at all. i am a very strong supporter of funding hiv and aids organizations. i'm a gay man. i'm lucky to pass not having [speaker not understood]. so, i feel like if you [speaker not understood], it should be done right. ~ if you're going to fund things, it should be done right, especially if it's five or six things under one um rel a. that way there won't be any wasteful spending. and if one neighborhood doesn't like other neighborhoods to come to that park, maybe they shouldn't get funded. thank you. >> next speaker, please. >>> thank you. my name is carl mcmurdle. i represent run of the taxi groups known as the medallion holder association. i think you saw a

i am the caring coordinator of psychotherapy services at the alliance health project. fortunately the aids health project. i have been active in providing lgbt community services since 1978 when at the age of 24 i worked at the gay center in los angeles at the [speaker not understood] counseling department. i've been continuously providing mental health services at the lgbt community in 1991, and san francisco for the last 15 years. i'm very aware that frequently when we talk about health, mental health is given short shift. mental health is an area that [speaker not understood] old whether housing or social service and frequently it's not a part of what we have. i have for the last 10 years been focused on the mental health needs of the aging lgbt community. i have devised a support group that meets and is open regardless of hiv status, regardless of income, and it has a broad range of men -- in fact, we offer two groups. it's been a very popular outreach. in addition, i developed a training on the mental health needs which has been provided locally for various commun

as a veterans service organization is the natural disasters as an opportunity to continue the service and regain what they've lost in the military. many will take the jobs of education or access to health care is okay for some kind of themselves at home but i'm going to argue it's much simpler. returning from a decade-long war suffered from ambiguous leadership, an unclear mission in anticipation disinterested public takes a mental and emotional toll on servicemen and women. picture cowboy from omagh, nebraska. bme sensitive to can't think camp and gives him a rifle. this young man spends 12 months lease has been outside the wire and checks his comrades from attacks. he has purpose. i can think of where he checks his men insuring the would they need. they laugh together and cry and cry together and he is a community. hope unit returns home. he wants her in his uniform. a few months later he returns home to nebraska, gets a job in reconnects. soon he discovers a seriously. no joke in the case of purpose he felt and can't resist the community has left behind. it will never give him the

and how we organize our services. as soon as we have proposals in front of you we'll be discussing those in depth with you but want you to understand what is behind our financial position and the reasoning for the difficult decisions we're facing as part of this budget process. including the reductions to the hiv services that we discussions earlier in the day. so that's what we have in terms of the budget. i'm happy to answer questions and >> we're going to be hearing the special d m v next week so be ready for that one. colleagues any questions at this time? >> i actually wanted to - i was trying to wait for the chapter because of the presentation i just wanted to be clearly understand and see the number but i guess in our presentation i heard that there was a proposed in addition to the current focus year proposed deficit but there's a potential deficit in the coming year in addition, there has been consistently been a budget deficit over the years from this particular department and i'm trying to understand how ar

that service is available to all people. 4 people were involuntary mandated to those services. couple of them succeeded, a couple didn't. the point is that the county where you have a chief of police who meets with the judge, who meets with the department of mental health or the head of the department of mental health have breakfast in their local coffee place. that model can work in a small community where you are going to know the clients and know the people that come up. does it work in an urban setting when you have highly complex and structured system or interaction of systems between police, between providers and things like that? we don't think so and that's part of the reason it hasn't been implemented. it's filled with all sorts of legal problems and coordination problems with bringing additional core systems into alignment, using hospitals as enforcement measures and things like that. so there are good treatments and there are good services out there. but we need more of them and we need better than we do have. i totally agree with that. >> this is obviously an extrem

this is called reduction in particular kinds of service or pks. the second resolution is related to the pks and determines how same-day of service hire ties are reserved in the layoff process. as you know if we do not notice our certificated employees by the mandated march 15th deadline, we lose the flexibility to layoff the employees for the 2013, 14 academic school year. of equal importance is our classified staff which includes early education, teachers and para professionals. we have more flexibility with this particular category and that we have a rolling 60 day noticing requirement. we ask you tonight that you approve these resolutions together. this slide is an overview of our workforce. as you can see we have about 3900 pre-k through 12 teachers broken down by teacher and non-classroom. we have 3,000 classified employees of which about half are para professionals. while i am not happy to have them, i am encouraged that the number of pks notice ss much smaller across the board than it has been in previous years. now, if we could take a look

he served as the aging service program specialist since -- 19, ok. not a kid would say 1906 and in 2006. 2002-2005. we asked him to join us here with some wise remarks. [applause] >> good morning, everyone. can you hear me? all right. well, on behalf of the original administrator for the newly created administration for community living, i would like to congratulate the city and county of san francisco for launching the 2012 aging and disability technology summit. it was approximately a month ago that secretary kathleen sebelius said the u.s. department of health and human services announced the creation of this new federal agency, and that is the administration for community living. and in her words, she said "for too long, too many americans have faced the a possible choice between moving to an institution or living at home without the long-term services and support they need." so this new administration for community living will be to helping people with disabilities, as well as seniors, to live a productive, satisfying lives. now, as you may be a

we have 3 major services, supply service chains, that are open and available to us 24/7 if we need them. we also have contractor arrangements, maybe it's pipeline welding or electrical service work, line man work, and we also have mutual service agreements and pg&e participates in those. we have sent folks to hawaii and we have sent folks back east and we have certainly sent folks to oregon and washington and idaho on a regular basis as we all in the west suffered through storms. so we have those activities in place and then of course we do just our normal emergency response activations on an on-going basis just to make sure everyone is trained and veilable and ready to go. in terms of the big 1 that we always talk about, we have an earthquake play book. the gas side and electric side has very specific actions to take, we have very trat strategic actions to take, we have a hard copy and hopefully we'll never need it but if a big earthquake comes, it can happen anywhere in the stais, there's earthquake faults all over this place, we're ready to go. >> mr. boland. >> we take a little diff

and it also is a -- an inconsistent service level of service for the wheelchair riders at this point. so, the whole idea here is to do something so that people who can afford to run these cabs can do so, can do them efficiently and so that people in wheelchairs can get service that's on the same scale, same quality that's the same quality as any able bode i had person would be to have. * able bodied the companies under this scenario would have to compete for the wheelchair business, wheelchair accessible taxi business. i think that's a good thing. there is nothing in this legislation that says the ramps are going to go to any specific company. it actually creates a scenario where a company might find it in their best interest to put together a great ramp program and to try to win the ramp cabs away from another company. i think that's smart. it's competition and that's what the wheelchair community is going to appreciate, it's going to bring better service to them. the one concern i do have is the $1500 a month for the medallion. i'm not sure how that's going to work out. i think we n

are requirements that the city spent its money on providing certain types of services, the city services, auditor gets 2/10 of 1% of the city's budget, that amounts to 12 million, the human services agency has a homeless care fund of 13.7 million and that was based on a certain level of funding for homeless services at the time that this was approved. the office of economic analysis and the controller's office has about 400 thousand dollars, the police minimum staffing requirements that was passed in the charter many, many years ago requires 1971 full duty officers, i might add that in this budget year and in this past year, the city has likely not met that requirement but with the staffing plan that the mayor submitted in his budget that was approved in the year for a two year, we are moving toward full compliance to the staffing requirement. similarly, the fire houses, certain fire houses have to remain open and that has been met, a number of years ago, there was a treatment on demand ballot item that was approved by the voters but that was never funded to its fullest at the time and i

deregulation downsize public services austerity measures and so on and so on the whole your liberal agenda for the basically our picture got confirmed by an american scholar stepping into the topic maria brink owl's i was interested in doing something about europe and something about the european union i started talking with some of the c.e.o.'s and in particular the corporate affairs managers of these firms to ask them what happened and everybody had a little piece of the story and then i met with keith richardson. keith and i would talk about different things and he would give me some ideas and i'd go and i'd talk with other individuals and then i'd come back with more questions and sometimes tease out the answers and sometimes they didn't and finally i believe it was on my seventh meeting with keith when i said to keith you know i can write about this i can have all these different interviews but i really want to see the pieces of paper said to me well you know i have a bunch of cardboard boxes in the basement of the we haven't opened them they're from the earlier days we just we just p

and increase our ability to provide services for that community. and i want to thank you for considering this. if you have any questions about our services i am happy to answer that whether that is now or later. thank you. >> thank you very much. >> next speaker. please? >> good afternoon, mary maceva with the voluntary legal services program. we provide legal representations to over 250 survivors of domestic violence each year. our services are provided through volunteers and many of the clients are mono linguals and so therefore we maintain a interpreter panel so that we can serve the mono lingual clients. the funding that you are voting on today will help us sustain the level of services that we are currently providing and if it is annualized we look to increase the staffing for the project. and we also look to use the funding to give more resources to our volunteers who are litigating these cases. and in many of these cases, our clients are up against, opposing parties who have significant amount of money, and they like to use that money to con

we will continue on, after our news would normally end at 11:30 and stay with the service until it is done. we are always streaming it live if you on abc7news.com. >> good morning on this sad day. >> 51-year-old detective sergeant loran "butch" baker and detective elizabeth butter were killed in the line of duty. >> abc7 news reporter, cornell reporter sex live in santa cruz, where the procession began. we are live over h.p. pavilion. but, first, our reporter is on the ground. laura? >> i am standing at the north side of h.p. pavilion. there were hundreds of law enforcement folks mostly standing out here waiting to go inside. you can see they have opened the doors. most of them have gone in. there were some members of the public in that group standing out here. some of them are associated with various law enforcement from the bay area. that included a couple we met from santa cruz who volunteer with the police department and their daughter was the dispatcher on duty when detective baker and butler were gunned down. well hear from them. >> it shows that officers that are sworn to prote

and provide outpatient services. so, when there is a need, our beds are not filled at present and that was one of the concerns that putting psych beds in another hospital where they would not be full and then you would have, again, staffing beds that you do not have revenue for. so, people who are in need of psych beds do get those beds, but the level of acutity and what the federal government will pay for is limited. so, the most important process that we go through in the health department is to ensure that people are ready to leave, that they are able to get into lower levels of care of service. we also provide placement services outside of the hospital itself, and we also have a 24-hour psych emergency -- psych urgent care center that's run by one of our community members door street on progress foundation. so, it is a concern, but it's also a issue of financial viability being able to afford those kinds of beds. >> thank you for your response. and i'm very interested in this issue and look forward to working wit

i've utilized all those services. i've been in san francisco i've i'm an advocate for african-american males. this service has allowed me a quality of life it would be a disserve to those who are coming behind me. i'm 62 i've gotten to imagine a grass fully and also i feel that looking at tv and stuff there's not a lot of attorneys about hiv awareness and stuff but your african-american young men have flicked with this disease because they're not be sure that hiv is

bring back service on saturday but it is not clear what we can do because the postal service doesn't receive federal appropriations, it doesn't receive tax money, and patrick donohue says they never will. >> thank you. happening right now, day one of a week-long experiment open bart, aiming to test whether bicyclists and other passengers can share bart trains during the high commute hours. our news reporter is live at the bart station in oakland. how is it going so far, amy? >> kristen, we have not seen major problems but the debate is raging on. bart is trying to make it more comfortable for everyone, trying to make this work. but bicycle riders say they realize it is crowd asked they worried about tonight saying the evening commute is when it really is jammed up in there. >> bicycles are allowed on bart trains at any hour this week but that does not necessarily mean they welcome. >> they are constantly in the way and they take up two or three chairs. you commute around 5:00, it is not a good idea to have them. it is really crowded. >> officials say they have reconfigured the trains

pbs is the national programming service and the national distribution service. they do a lot of work with local stations in terms of improving management and so forth. >> and they are private? >> they are also private and nonprofit. the association of public tv stations is organization for the licensees themselves, the andle on the ground hundreds of american communities that hold these licenses and provide all of these local services him for remain, education, and other services that we have described. it is my honor to represent all of them here in washington. >> one more question. quoted, that perhaps npr would be better off without federal funding. your thoughts? >> npr does not receive much direct federal funding. it is the local stations that some funding.e some of that goes to npr for programming services. the breakdown is that they produced 28% of their own programming locally i will buy about 30 of the programming from npr and another percentage from other radio stations and other national programming services. it is a local decision. they can take as m
