>> sfgtv, if you can fix the projector. i think you can see it now. >>> you can see it and i can see it but on the computer it's too glaring. can i turn down the light? >> why don't you continue. we can see it. >>> for the benefit of those who will be watching on the net. okay. i'd like to talk about what genesis says here in the 41st chapter. and >>> self said to pharaoh, the dream is one. god showed pharaoh what he is about to do. 7 good years and the 7 good ears are 7 years. the dream is one. verse 32 it says and for the dream was doubled to pharaoh twice. it is because the thing is established by god and god will shortly bring it to pass. now, it's interesting this has application believe it or not to our day. that's why i wanted to be sure those watching on the net, they understand this graphic. it's a very simple graph. it is one, a picture is worth a thousand words. i believe in our day god has doubled not a dream, but a scripture, you might say since we are in the last days and the prophecies are close to sealed. to

i know we have limited space with sfgtv to cover this. i hope this will promote the housing authority to see if there's availability of space within city hall and that doesn't conflict with the other meeting to figure out what we can possibly do. that's an important issue we face with many commissions in city hall. i also want to make sure the housing authority is taking a look at the trade off. if we have a meeting at city hall versus elsewhere, are we going to be disinfranchising others? i am sure the housing authority will consider those as limp one of biggest things about televising anything is the cost. i hope the housing authority as they are looking forward to the budget evaluates whether or not they can afford this. i will be supportive of this because i understand the desire the folks to see this and access it and have it in the public light. there is things the housing authority needs to review in order to make this become something that is a reality. again, i will be supportive. but availability of space, trade off to the meeti

because i watch your meetings on sfgtv if i am not here, and it isn't just the fact that you seem to disregard the rights of the citizens under the sunshine ordinance and the brown act. but you seem to be flagrant about making promises and commitments you don't keep. last week there were documents that were shown on the overhead which were not leg able for the members of the public. documents which under the law should have been made available in the information packet which was sent out. and then they should have been available to the public so they could be participating in this. and it gives the lie to the idea that you want the public participation and then you deny the documents and the information that people need to actually make meaningful public comment. and then, you make a commitment to putting these documents later up on to the police department website, and low and behold you go to the website, and they are not there. so what is it? are you going to let the public par participate? are you going to give them the documents that by law you are supposed to be sending them an
