so the firefighters aren't strained to ice the system but we have a truck in place so the training is not necessary is that what you're saying. >> we have a system we don't train it on a simple system the fire department don't need. >> i want to make sure that the 31 buildings. >> their maintained. >> how do we do the enforcement of the system. >> the buildings are supposed to keep on site records of their air quality testing and then their supposed to forward those same certificates to the fire department. >> okay. >> and then our high-rise sprishg is as opposed to verify. >> what other major cities do you require the system philadelphia or los angeles does not what about new york city. >> the new york city twin towers have it and new york city declined to pit it in. han la doesn't require it >> this is my last question what is the cost of putting into an elevator compared to an a i r s. >> sorry i don't know about construction. >> thank you. i appreciate all your answers and to follow-up before we get to president chiu. >> thank you for your explanation on the 31 buildings. followin

so we keep on having these nonces jobs what is that about so he reckons it's partly like the soviet union where everybody was guaranteed a job in order to prevent any revolution or uprising and the same thing here is that they keep people in these nonsense jobs just to keep them occupied and feel like they're doing something otherwise you might have revolution but just like the soviet union you would find three four five six people serving you a hamburger and because they all needed a job we have the same thing here you have five six seven eight nine ten thousand bankers delivering you the same asset for ten this is a mortgage well they rip it up rip it up rip it up and disperse it to tens of thousands of bankers to sell and package and resell i mean they take a mortgage like this and they say oh here's a mortgage are going to sell to bank b. from bank and then bank big simply repackages it as another set of mortgages all these are for mortgages collateralized by the same single mortgage that they have from bank they sell to banks see of another sixteen mortgages are going to sell at the

so so far, it's good.ut i think it's important for you to tell the people why we're doing all this outreach. because this only works, for example, if young people show up and even if they buy the cheapest plan, they claim their tax credit so it won't cost them much, 100 bucks a month or so. we've got to have them in the pools, because otherwise these projected low costs cannot be held if older people with preexisting conditions are disproportionately represented in any given state. you've got to have everybody lined up. so explain what -- all the work you've been doing on the outreach for the opening on october. >> well, i think president clinton makes a really important point. and the way pools work -- any pool -- is essentially those of us who are healthy, subsidized somebody who is sick at any given time. we do that because we anticipate, well, at some point we'll get sick, and we hope the healthy person is in our pool, and so those costs and those risks get spread. that's what insurance is all about. a

and so that would be, so that answers the 349. and like, the left-hand column is the number of cases that we received during the 2013. >> yeah. >> and the column to the right then is the number of those that have gone to healing. >> and but you expect that to be higher and you expect that to grow, right? >> and you will have some of the bad in the 2013 and including to state in the process and they could have continuances and on the advisement and so, like it you looked at those month or two. and more and more of those, will be in the pluses column. and it will be in the process column? >> yes. >> because, the reason of a consensus going around with the commissioners we talked about it is one of the remedis that we were trying to go to try to get out and a handle on these to have more hearings and more time to bring them to us and even to go and have one commission meeting a month, strictly to deal with this. and so the questioning to you is somebody who has been working the numbers and seeing, them go up and down and you keep poi

on and so forth. it was just astronomical. we just couldn't afford to provide everyone with a token. but the rule is everyone seeking a token should ask for a token, and we do have tokens available to clients at the shelter, but they must ask for them. or it's offered to them when they are at glide seeking a shelter and they have to go msc south or go out to the bayview. a token should be given from glide to the bayview and back. so, those are our comments on the report. we were fortunate this year in the add-back budget to get additional funds to support the shelters. a lot of our shelter providers are using it to enhance the standard of care of which the shelter monitoring committee monitors. so, if you have any questions of me, i'll try to answer them. >> supervisor breed. >> thank you. i do have a few questions. i just want to say thank you for all of your work and trying to continuously make the shelters better for the folks who use them. and also i know -- i've actually visited shelters in the p

does the media leave us so we lead that maybe. i will soon push a security follow your party visible. push is that no one is asking with the guests that you deserve answers from it's all on politics only on our t.v. . the least of search for justice should individuals including government officials be legally held to account for starting aggressive force like in iraq is it fair to push their officials be given immunity from prosecution if they're not held accountable influence alternately responsible. as you know i like to feature up and coming artists from all genres on the show given the plot from the show their message they see beric better known as the siren on stage as a self-titled audio frequency scientist he calls the style of music epic step which is a fusion of metal core dubstep and electro is also a visual artist who edits and produces all of his own music videos his lyrics combine radical activism of philosophy and touch on everything from science to politics all the fierce and beat so here's siren performing social c

so, they truly want to be involved, as well, so it's just so vitally important.nd we've talked about discrimination that some individuals feel when they've come out of treatment or the fear they have to go into treatment because of what may happen. did you ever feel that way, ben, in terms of feeling that the way the society might look at you might override your desire to get better? absolutely. i think there was a lot of stigma for me seeking mental health treatment, and also substance abuse treatment. and i clearly remember i became very good at hiding, you know, the symptoms of my mental illness and also the symptoms of my using from my parents and adults because i knew that there was stigma attached to it. i knew at an early age that this was not the norm for someone like me, and so i tried to hide it because there was that overriding stigma. and i think, you know, eliminating that stigma and removing the stigma attached to mental illness and substance use disorders is going to, you know, be one of those barriers that, if removed, is going to allow more youth

so when we hire t

so does safeway.afeway sponsors one of our litter programs where they -- we pay nonprofit groups to go in the community, pick garbage for 16 weeks during the summer, and they pay those. safeway as well as many other groups pay those volunteers. so, i mean crylon, like you said, it's a huge company going to head off. you're probably not going to have the same success as somehow working with local businesses. that would be the only thing i could suggest. but it's worth a try because i think the more persistent you are -- i think a couple of them finally gave us money because rona in particular because they just didn't want to hear from me any more. [laughter] >> all right, thank you. (applause) >> i don't know why the product is still on the shelf. personally it's one of the most toxic products out there. i don't know if any of you have had ever deployed spray cans on walls and just stood there. how do you dispose of it? there are so many environmental issues it's unbelievable. and as communities, if yo

through petition through referendum and so on so what is more so now why is there so much secrecy about his whereabouts of the first of all he's now been. charged with different legal charges i don't want to get into the actual little charges because the public the attorney general investigates the different accusations and then he formally only makes charges well maybe make several but he won't make those that where there's evidence to substantiate the charge i have to ask you know i'm sorry i know there is a lot of speculation in the egyptian media right now and this what i'm going to say a little bit more than just a gossip he is officially charged with treason and. and conspiracy but what the egyptian media is saying that he got money from the american ministration to give sanaa a way to hamas or they had a truce to this ok as as a as an official but frankly even as somebody in the public domain before being an official i never comment on court cases before they are concluded the reason being it's the court has to judge whether the evidence is there or not anybody could make an accu

so, they're court referrals? so, they're court-referraled. right. yep, so, we get our referrals from the treatment programs in which that they're sent to. do you find that mandated treatment is equally as effective as if the family brought in the youth? mandated treatment is important, and we're also talking about individual's level of motivation and readiness, so they may not want to be in treatment, but they're there, so it gives them a time for sobriety to begin to look at any issues or problems related to their substance use, and maybe begin to move their level of motivation if they weren't ready. so, that is an important part. yeah. and alison, talk to us about active minds. how do you-you're one of the founders-it is an incredibly important program for young people, correct, i mean? yes, so, active minds is a national organization that's dedicated to empowering students to speak openly about mental health issues in order to educate others and encourage help seeking. and so, what we do is we do most of our work primarily through an on-campus, c

and basically we'll make sure we send a letter to the regulatory agency so that's any report >> so one is to direct staff to do something. >> basically to send a letter. >> we don't direct it. >> it's your meeting (laughter). >> is there a motion to move. >> so move forward. >> all in favor significant by saying i manufacture motion carries thank you. public comments on things to be discussed in closed session? all right. do you hear a motion >> i will move. >> attorney-client privilege and a those in favor? donna will read the items >> in closed items exciting legislation vs. the city and county of san francisco. item 14 existing litigation. and number 15 claims with somalian and item 17 existing litigation for the city and county of san francisco vs. the panic gas and electric company. and item we'll be back to order3 public session. is there a motion to disclose what we decided in closed sessi session. do you wish to disclose >> the >> welcome everyone and thanks for being here today. i want to extend a special welcome to all of our distinguished speakers. so first, the honorable ed

and so, to be honest, i was not the one who did this research, and so i am just presenting it and so i don't know why there is nothing further to it and i am guessing that after you followed the chain, to find out what next steps and you, and you probably don't get more information that the end of it, the end of the information. so, that is austin and then as you can see, i will go through el paso which is 38 percent renters there and there is no housing code there but they do have housing service division, i think, and then they do acts of tenant complaints and internet, or by phone and they do have notice of violation, but, it does not further to that and there is no director's hearing or no lien. and there is no other things that we do have here. in the city. >> houston,

and so that is the proposal. and we heard an enrollment update and talked about the future meetings. and i just for the interest of those who are in the enrollment cycle currently, i just wanted to point out that students who did not attend the first three days of school were withdrawn, openings were filled, from the wait pool and the wait pool process will end on friday, september 6th. wait pools will be dissolved and no transfer period will be implemented, however, requests for spring transfers will be accepted. beginning november 9th. >> and also another big day in fall, is our public school enrollment fair, on saturday, november second. and our next meeting of the student assignment ad hov committee is september the 11th. >> thank you, commissioner murase. >> commissioner haney. do you have an announcement? >> i would like to invite everyone to the personnel labor meeting that will be happening wednesday, september 11, at 6:00 and we will be looking at the diversity of our staff here at sfusd. >> thank you. >

so, exactly what you're saying. the word on the street -- and part of it is you're driving -- i don't notice as i'm accuweathering. moev of us are cruisers. we get what we see. that's an issue coming up. these people are networking. they spread the word. sidewalks are cool game, trees are cool, they don't touch that. you're exactly right. i experience in my own life. we're going to have to open people, we're going to have to focus on sidewalks unfortunately. >> if i can just add, we're a network, too. this is a network. your city is a network. the city is networking with the police, with the business units, with the volunteers, with the seniors groups, with youth groups, whoever is walking those streets, cleaning those streets, going down there to enforce by law and properties, they all need to be paying attention to these things and it can be as quick as a saying. recently we've noticed x is happening. we're asking you to report it to this department, this person so we can proactively deal with it. it's the same th

that is confusing and so what we are trying to do here is sink it up so that we are all just paying everything in august. but for right now, what we want to do is be able to make sure that we have enough across the two rops periods that we can make our debt service payment and so we need to make a payment in january and then we need to collect the funds to have in hand and that is what we collect in the rops 14, 15 a to make the payments in august. so we created the debt service reserve line to spread it across the two fiscal years. >> here is our time frame with the milestones and i want to highlight a couple of things that are going on in the meantime. so, we are going through our workshops that october first date, in blue that you see there is the statutory deadline and so we have to get something in by october first but we hope to have something by september 23rd. and while we will be in the midst of meeting and confering and pulling that togr

so so my missioning is to revitalize the japanese economy. first anan foremost we have to overcome a prolonged deflation and to that end i decided to take a flexible fiscal policy and a growth strategy that will promote the private investments and formulate that and execute such policy. in other words, this time around people of japan, what they want i show them the implementation and i am executing such policies. >> rose: people around the world look at what has happened in japan and they admire your growth policies. they admire the way you have stimulated the economy. they raise two questions: first, is it sustainable. and second, the percentage of debt to g.d.p. speak to both. >> ( translated ): looking at the g.d.p. growth rate of july, september period last year the growth rate was 73% but thanks to my new policies in two consecutive quarters this would be from -- first january to march the growth rate was up to 4.2 and then the april-june 3.8% positive and the unemployment rate also improved and the ratio of job seekers have improved v

market so why not. find out what's really happening to the global economy with max cons or the no holds barred look at the global financial headlines tune into kinds of reports. we're back with the jonas brothers the next joe and kevin they just they wind up their tour today and then have another tour coming in the fall their latest single is first time in their fifth album five will be out this fall we have a little surprise for you gentlemen if you would pay attention to the screen. hey larry they gave me an extra card hey guys hey john it's really it was up just about every minute it's been a long time yeah i say next time we have three things rather quick that we want to cast philippines on you guys since you know me to something that i never. what he knows about you so really quick three things yes these are all true yes. nick jonas yes actually a red sox fan i know that you know you call yourselves the jersey boys our stuff but he's actually a diehard red sox fan and i read stuff is great because

and so, it accrues quite quickly for small business exempt entities and so we are proposing that the interest just apply to the penalty amount, and as it does with larger businesses, and number one, this is make it a slight reduction into the penalties and number two, since with the gross receipt tax we anticipate that they will be moving in and out of the small business category as they might have more sales in san francisco one year verses another and this will allow us to track them, and if someone is delinquent and be able to have the right penalties rather than having to toggle back and forth. and there is also currently in the code an enhanced to penalty. and they have to under report the taxes. this is based upon a determination or a audit. and so this removes the penalty in our loophole in our penalty structure where someone could say i am not going to file for that year and then i will not have that additional penalty and often this comes up is we find out about someone from our investigation and come to them and say, okay, here is your situation, and they and we found that

so, again, my name is james. i want to thank the hatchery for hosting us here and being such an important part of the start-up community and for helping san francisco businesses start and grow here in san francisco. our first speaker is mayor lee. he has been a strong advocate of open data, both in his current position and also historically as the city administrator. and he's going to be sharing with you some really exciting announcements and his vision for open data. mayor? (applause) >> hi, good morning. welcome again to innovation month in san francisco. it's great to be here. as you know, i've been working really hard with organizations like sf city and code for america and others to make sure that we keep being leaders in technology and celebrating our status, but also implementing the programs to help us continue that very nice title we have, the innovation capital of the world. and i am here today in collaboration with board president david chiu and so many others from our committee on information technolo

i know that the people that use that and she did a great job on that. >> yeah. >> so, okay. >> so that is the direction that we would like to go in. >> and then, there is a list of series of workshops and conferences and i am going to include this because you are not necessarily aware that martha once a month goes to give how to start a business 101 at the sba and also does that periodically at our economic development organizations and i think that quarterly, also, does that, at the library. and so, and then, commissioner, yee riley is going to talk about a workshop that is taking place towards the end of the month. and i want to highlight that, and i briefly mentioned last month, about the shops small campaign which is part of the small business saturday and so the office is sponsoring the and you have it in your binder but these will be going up. and these are baners on the light poles. >> and they will be going up in the city throughout the targeted area to encourage between now and the holiday season, to shop small. >> and where will they be placing the baners? >> i... >> we do ha

so, that's what we've got right here. >> so, this neighborhood support center, this doesn't look to beajor city sponsored fully stocked space. it can be a small commercial space, even somebody's garage as long as they have the information, a guide of information, who to call for what, communications equipment, some power, have a generator. >> that's right. >> thinking of lights and charge your cell phones and so on. and probably be operated by volunteers. >> volunteers, maybe members of nert could help out, people who live in the neighborhood that have some building skill could be helpful. so, if there is a structural engineer living nearby or even an architect, they could really help people kind of understand what has happened to their homes and what sort of repairs might be needed. >> here we are with some of the things that you might find in a neighborhood support center. one thing we learned from hurricane katrina, people really rely on their portable electronics and their phone. we say here's a charging station tied up to the generation. the essential coffeepot. >> yes. >> maybe a

and so this is escalating our need to sort of deal with this. and so, i have been in conversation with jason elliott to start looking at this as a comprehensive thing for the city to address. and some proposal to put forward to the state because this is a state law, and so, any unique things that we may need to do will have to be addressed sort of in that context of it being a state regulation. the task force has two meetings left and so, the last two meetings we will be setting forward some recommendations, and i will let you know what those are primarily we have been doing fact finding and getting some information, and the one thing that has happened which i thought to me which is sort of a key element of the direction to go in, that we can identify, and i hope with the recommendation, is because of this wage task force working together, with the city attorney, the district attorney, and private law firms, and there was one entity that olse had and there were some wage theft and the business closed was going to sell the property and the entiti

so thank you. and i also want to particularly point out that companies that were so important in the sponsorship work. and income not only did these 12 companies help us create the funds to create the data to make the case that they put on the ground initiative which really demonstrates conclusively that sponsorship can crack those ceilings. and in particular, i think they were the officials on this research comes with a list that you and also rosalind is all kinds of stuff and jennifer at deloitte is wonderful to have you tonight. i can't stop my think use without acknowledging laura, melinda. they said at the heart of our research team and have contributed enormously. this really is a team. so let's plunge in. the urgent question, which kicked off this work three years ago, was the fact that women and minorities are stuck, or have been stuck. those numbers are the top have hardly budged in years. one of my i think most favorite figures here is that women comply only 8% of the top earners of this

so this is it's always. shocking for me to come back from china i joke with my american friends that when i go back to china i'm going back to first world conditions and they don't really get that but dan in the first half of the show i was speaking with stacy herbert and we were talking about china versus the u.s. and centrally planned economies and i was making the point that there is to settle a plan economies that are both basically to fail stacey i think thanks perhaps that the chinese economy is set to become number one in the world and what are your thoughts i'm a big good daughter of centrally planned economies whether that's in china or the united states reality you know is china is although it has massive problems as well it is much more capitalistic in many ways now than united states it's much more real economy driven whereas the united states has been taken over by the financial system. you know in china they're number one in most markets number one in on line retail this year two thousand and e

so it's just what i get paid for you know so i get so i head after on table for the wife and the kid you know. how. three weeks. and. it's only four to your dad now and i'll be able to pass my truck down as well so even you know i have to do it because. the. last i heard of it. we got about fifteen or twenty now my phone calls. all within just a minute or two of each other or there's a gunfight and there's a huge gun battle taking place in the courtyard between all the buildings where there's kids and there's people and of course you know lots and lots of folks lived there and it was still in the middle of a. like almost lunchtime. when we found him. he was obviously taking a lot of medication and he had been had a little bit of alcohol. this guy had come back. he had an assault rifle. and he said that he just he just needed to hear he was he was stressed and in order to relax he just needed to hear the sound of gunfire. first storms kicking down doors going to. kick down doors in their own scared i know it's exciting definitely fun. i mean i don't know i just kind of just go back to

(applause) ♪ >> to introduce our next award i would like to invite someone to the stage -- i have a cold, too, i apologize. [laughter] >> sneeze with my mouth moving. i want to invite someone who i think many people in this room know who works behind the scenes here at city hall to actually create what i think are some of the most significant physical examples of neighborhood empowerment in the city. and that, of course, is lenny denriquez. i want to invite her up here. if you walk around and see an amazing mural or amazing garden, it's a good chance she's the one that said yes to that application. so, here we go, lenny.

[speaking spanish] >> so they wanted me to speak english and i couldn't speak english to me so instead they decided not to listen to my 11 year old that was translated and i had a six year sold and three month old and one of the children was sick and they weren't listened and wanted me to speak english even though i don't speak it. [speaking spanish]. >> so they ended up arresting me, put me in the cop car and put me in the car for a ride and calm me down and they didn't listen and i ended up on bryant. [speaking spanish] >> so when we got there i asked them why am i here? all i did was call asking for help. they said they didn't want to hear what i said. they said to wait 72 hours and i waited and then with ice and i paid the $2,000 to be let out on bail. [speaking spanish] >> so i wanted to tell people this is happening and families are being separated. my kids were alone. i didn't have family here. they continue to ask me what happened and i told them about the assault and because of that they let me out on bail but we're still in proceedings now and it's been a year and we're still

so. i know what you all are thinking you all can't do nothing for that sign & drive for 45 yes we can but we are only taking 500 callers i can't stress it you have to act now though it's for a limited time six weeks you don't have to make no payment let's go let's go pick up the phone let's make it happen. student loans my tuition was piling up i couldn't get to school i just paid for my books. i need to find a way i need something to help me out. so i found this great job and then i married the man of my dreams. that turned into a nightmare. he took the house the cars, not only that but i've got to pay him half of my income. i found sign & drive for 45 no down payment no payment for six weeks now i got a brand new mustang. thanks sign & drive for 45. i didn't know what i was going to do. so i called my friend and she told me to call sign & drive for 45. i'm so excited i called them because they approved me on the spot. not only do i get to drive the car for 45 days for free but they didn

so, it was really an honor to be able to work directly in the community, to impact so many lives. i really thoroughly enjoyed that experience. >> you've lived most of your life in san francisco. why did you choose to live in the city? >> i chose because it's my home. it's just a place i love the most. i pretty much only lived outside the city when i went to college and i came home almost every weekend on the greyhound bus. and i just love san francisco. it's an amazing place, it's a beautiful city. it's nothing like coming across that bridge and seeing the city and feeling like, i'm home, or coming from any part of anywhere, whether you're on a plane, whether you're on a bus, whether you're in a car, just to see the skyline of the city, it's just always made me feel at peace. and, so, i can't imagine myself living anyplace else. >> what motivated you to get involved in politics? >> well, as i said, i grew up in public housing and i experienced a lot of sad times as some people are still experiencing, whether it's crime and violence, issues of despair, issues of hopelessness. i mea

so did your mother. tell us about the. >> needless to say my parents believed in continuity of the heritage. one out of three jews died, and certain from their circumstances there were probably 5% remaining i got out. and they felt that it was their duty to transmit this, i guess this is tortured or this little candle to the next generation, like it again and the worst thing it would be happen is it would be snuffed out and forgotten. that's not just their lives but all the way back. so a long, poignant and resilient tradition, but easily snuffed out. and so both my parents felt that this would be a really bad thing. even when i met my parents in jerusalem again, and tried to make the argument, this is my greatest attempt of arguing, i said that meant i was in love with, the bullet i was in love with was one of the 36. there's this older jewish legend, and 36 people in work or not jewish action and to make the world so good. and my father said, sweetie, first to give some consideration and said i really

so and so on so rude. well of course. eric holder the f.c.c. all the various agencies the state attorneys general like in new york keep on finding these guys but it's just emerged that these banks have spent one hundred billion dollars so far on legal fees just a legal fees of course that dorms what they've paid in actual fines because of course we know they're never find very anything but of course the lawyers are corrupt the accounting firms are corrupt the rating agencies are corrupt the hedge funds are corrupt and the banks are corrupt and eric holder is corrupt and barack obama is corrupt they should go after them as a syndicate under rico and put them all in jail because they suck well the biggest market of all i would ask you but i bet you'll know the answer is the currency markets the foreign exchange market the forex market and that's in this next headline currency spikes at four pm and london provide rigging clues to this four point seven trillion dollars in currency exchange every single day in

just so stupid. our brigade commander was concerned that we would scratch the iraqis furniture i'm not kidding they went on public record saying that. that was one of his major concerns because they complained to him that us where all our gear and having our weapons we've scratched their nice furniture and they did live in pretty nice we saw a lot of brand new b.m.w. is brand new ford brand new mitsubishi is driving around. yes. there are me decided to have key leadership and what they meant by that was anybody above the rank of the six like myself would remove their body armor and weapons and leave them in the vehicles and this wasn't optional it was mandatory it was an order and what does it mean to take your body armor off what do you are left with. this way and i don't know how much you need your confidence and maybe she put extra starch in your four spot it we're talking about scratch furniture and poor little iraqis her feelings i don't care i don't care if it comes to if is a choice between my
