and then you you're told by the state water board, it must be peer reviewed.it would really not make the commission look good. these negotiations have been on going for about eight, pushing nine years. it's critical. we urge to you amend the resolution and say that while these negotiations move forward, the state board still move forward with its existing process in that delay. that's the second point. let's avoid further delay. the current standards in the ecosystem were adopted a quarter of a century ago and we're facing extinctions. it's critical we avoid further delay. third and finally, one of our concerns in the voluntary settlement agreement is not so much in your section but other sections of voluntary settlement agreement, there's very extensive and deeply troubling double-counting of both water and habitat. frankly it raises real questions about whether the voluntary settlement agreement is a real package or smoke and mirrors. we've been raising that issue. that is not going to change until water users themselves in this process say, we need to scrub

we have the state board has done what the state board has done. we have done what we have done. our position on the state board's plan is clear and nothing in this resolution changes that. and i think what we need to focus on is that we are here today and we have issues in front of us in dealing with how we make actions or requirements imposed by the state board more consistent within the needs of our constituents in this community as well as meeting the needs of the fishery. i think that what we have did not doing is appropriately focusing on that forward-looking aspect of it and giving direction to staff and expression to the rest of the world how we want to approach that future. final comment is that there is a tricky issue that we need to figure out how to talk about. between the over all delta goals and the tuolumne goals, it's important that what we control and what we should be held accountable is what happens on the tuolumne. we really don't have control over what the rest of the state does. what fish and game does about permitting aggressive fishing for in vase i havfor

and the state water board went down a particular process. they got certain results and went a particular way. the model that we're talking about that department of fish and wildlife used is a different model entirely that looks at a different picture. truth is in the middle of all these things over time but when one advocates, one tends to knock pretty hard at the other side. i try to make sure that we stay in an even keel in the middle that we're doing the best we can. we do stand behind it. science doesn't get resolved. it gets resolved when the science is used to make policy decision and we move on in life. >> or it gets resolved with history looking backwards. seems to me that this is a huge bone of contention, that if we could get that worked through a little bit better, perhaps the solutions would be more evident. maybe that's impossible. >> i think we're at a point in time that we're wanting to sit down and negotiate, you know. because trying to determine what science is the best science is, you know, we will continue to argue that. s

in 1943, the decision was overturned by the supreme court the west virginia versus state board of education v. barnette case. next, world headquarters of jehovah's witnesses seigniorage communications officer robert zick tells the story of both cases and talks with the gobitasr of lillian this is.part of a daylong event hosted by the robert h. jackson center to commemorate the 75th anniversary of the 1943 first amendment ruling. it is about 45 minutes. robert: one of the first cases of note was the gobitis versus minersville case, and to present an illustrated hesitation is robert zic's of the world the quarters of jehovah's witnessk, and they will be presenting from gobitis to barnette. robert: it is a tough act to follow. i will need a screen. first of all, this gives me a nice opportunity to just mentione we are really appreciative for the privilege of being here at the jackson center. we work with a tremendous staff, professional, qualified, and really such a pleasure to work with. of course, greg peterson, the flesh and spirit behind the center, and helping to open up an opportunity to

the state board also adopted that and in the legislature the congress and state adopted that. that's a healthy metric that's been around 30 years at this point. it doesn't use the word sustainability but it's also more specific. i'll leave it there. thanks. >> i would just like to speak briefly to the state doubling. i've been trying to get my head around that through the whole conversation. the reason i fell away from that and didn't really like that is because i think there's a lot of questions out there on which baseline you're using. if there's only 2,000 now, i would not be okay with 4,000. so i think the state has some of the same questions. which is why i think leaving it slightly open with a directive from this commission to come up with bold goals and specific objectives around what it's going to take to create a healthy fishery may in the end up being a better goal or outcome at the end of the day than the doubling. i just wanted to respond to that because the doubling one is a tricky one. and i do know that's in the state law right now and a wouldn't be surprised if

items will appear on the april 2 board of supervisors agenda unless otherwise stated. >> thank you, mr. clerk. please call item one. >> resolution affirming the board of supervisors per visor commitment to addvensment of racial equity and in the city and county programs policies and veryises in the city programs and policies and services. >> due to supervisor brown's absence i make a motion to continue to the call of the chair. we will take public comment. are there any members of the public who wish to testify? seeing none, public comment is closed. can we continue this item to the call of the chair without objection? thank you. please call item two. >> item two a hearing to inquire into the circumstances surrounding the retroactive nature of the board of supervisors' approval of the grant agreement between the city and county of san francisco and tenderloin housing clinic and of the first amendment to that grant agreement. >> i would like to pass this off to supervisor peskin. >> commissioner peskin: because trent roar from the human services agency is in san francisco i would like t

what that means is if the board adopts a resolution supporting ab1, the mayor cannot direct the state lobbyist to oppose ab1. if the board says we support ab1 but there are issues that the city could seek amendments on this definition within ab1, then the mayor can direct the state lobbyist to support and seek amendments. if the board and state legislation committee do not take a position on a matter, the mayor can direct the state or federal lobbyist to advocate for a position that is in her discretion. she must follow the board's policy direction when the board acts. she must follow the state legislation committee's direction when they act. if neither have spoken to set position the mayor has discretion to coordinate communications and say what she will. one final point. because the mayor has the power to coordinate all city communications with the state and federal governments, and other government entities, other officers do not -- cannot lobby the state legislature without coordinating with the mayor. for instance, the fire department might have a position on a pending state bill

on december 12 state water board adopted the plan as proposed but with important amendments.december 12 meeting the california department of water resources and fish and wildlife presented updated information for the river as well as six others rivers to the delta. and those are depicted in this diagram here showing the sacramento river, feather, american mcel knee, san joaquin and other rivers were included in that presentation in summary form. so that the state water board's action was direct its staff to assist the california natural resources agency in completing a watershed wide agreement including potential flow and non-flow measures no later than march 1, a date coming soon upon us. incorporate those above agreement as an all tern -- the goal of the update presented for the state water board for consideration as early as possible after december 1 of this year. at the last meeting i presented more details on the actual elements of the river proposed 15-year voluntary agreement so i just include them in this in summary form. a set of functional flows linked to non-flow a

option, and it's governed by a transparent state board share by the state treasurer. a few important features from the perspective of the employees. because it's automatic enrollment, it's important we have default settings for those people who enroll and don't -- may take a couple years to go on-line and claim their account and tinker with their settings, we have to have default settings for them. so the default contribution rate is 5%. they can change that at any time, reduce it, increase it, as long as it's within the i.r.s. maximum dollar amounts, which is $6,000 a year. the default i.r.a. is a roth i.r.a. we heard it was important for savers to have access to their funds without penalty or taxes which is by and large how a roth i.r.a. works with some exceptions. there will be a traditional pretax option available at the end of 2019 for those individuals with higher income. we have five investment options. the default for the first $1,000 is a capital preservation fund, which is intended to, you know, really withstand fluctuations in the market, and then all contr

it depends on whether the member states will climb on board. r states will climb on board. he is a leader who has had a very torrid time of late, and with the yellow vest movement going on in france, and he has been started this great debate across the country, trying to wind hearts again within france. he is finding he is not having an easy ride it or by any means. it is true. the ride he is having in france at the moment is a reflection of unique situations within france and pressures there, but it is part of a wider trend of populism and people being fed up with business as usual, corruption, austerity, et cetera. he thinks europe is the answer and is positioning himself archaeologically against people who argue that europe is the problem. of course, his timing is interesting, with important vote here in the uk next week. it will be interesting to see what reaction and traction he gets for his ideas of bringing europe even closer on things like wages. some quite radical ideas in some respects. let's move on to bloomberg, this story really cau

rand never responded to us, but we learned his license has been inactive since 2009, when the state board brought unrelated disciplinary action against him for unprofessional conduct, gross negligence, and dishonesty. the board placed him on five years' probation. he appealed in 2012 but was denied. records show his license remains inactive, but because family bridges operates as an educational not psychological workshop we found it is not under any state oversight. sam: these programs, the way they are right now, do not work. vicky: we reached out to family courts in all nine bay area counties. we wanted to find out whether they send children to these programs and how they track the outcomes. couy d. three counties told us they have not ordered children into these programs. five counties, though, told us they don't track this information at all. leo: you should never be forced to be put in one of these programs. it's a court system that needs to rethink their strategies. vicky: none of the judges involved would speak to us about these cases. linda gottlieb: it's anti-instinctual to rejec

state seal on the left, you are right. that is the virginia israel advisory board and its seal. it has customized the commonwealth of virginia seal with its own purposes. on the right-hand side is the official seal of the commonwealth of virginia. listed are the three state agencies i mentioned earlier. we feel that the typography on the state seal on the left and the banner in the front which declares its independence from the office of the governor where all other economic initiatives are managed indicates a chauvinism and a entitlement that are not hallmarked of a state agency. we think they represent a de facto representation of the political interests of the state of israel. we think it needs to end. >> [ applause ] >> i'm going to pass this as we've already discussed this and we will go back to that. this is an example, really, of this intrusion of the israel interest in state business of the commonwealth. he mentioned that in the final version of 1282 the virginia israel advisory board was named as the state agency to keep tabs on a company doing business with the commonwe

now, illinois, our voter list, the state board of election compiles a major voter file from every county clerk in 100 to counties that make up illinois and other local jurisdictions that have their own election commissions. they take information and compile it all into one list. in 2016, the summer of 2016, there was a hack attempt. but information that could have been received there, if that system would have been shut down mr. woodall, all of our county clerks would have had the most up-to-date information because they are the ones providing from the bottom up, the most accurate data to the illinois state board of elections. that is what i have a problem with in this bill, taking a top- down approach from here versus the bottom up approach that is clearly working. >> for those voter integrity provisions we have in place, does this erase those are can i have a higher standard background than what the bill proposes taxi >> when you look at states like illinois, we have automatic voter registration, early voting admitted from the 40 days , most every state has absentee ballots, voting by
