the mayoral election takes place later this year. >> two new lives rank the best cities for working women, the rankings come from a personal finance and credit card information and according do that company, washington, dc, is the best big city in the country for working women. public two, san francisco and third is austin and then dallas-ft. worth surrounding it out. it rappinged the best small cities and napa is first and auburn, alabama, and charlottesville, virginia, and santa rosa at number five. this is based on highest pay for women, gender gap and salaries, the smaller the gap the better, and population growth. >> come on down. it is perfect place to be. >> look at that view in addition to being the fine of the place to work. >> all we have to worry about is wind. wind is sun. we do not have the marine layer cloud. good morning, everyone, the winds are the big story as we saw the damage amy hollyfield showed us overnight, the gusts got up around 40 or 45 miles per hour. while you were sleeping. still seeing dry conditions and the airport weather warning for sfo at 2:00, still gust

those resources i think we can and will achieve the goals we set out to make san francisco the best walking city in the country. i want to thank all the folks behind me and all the folks who worked to get this strategy into place and all the people in the community to make this strategy a reality and realize the goals we set for ourselves. thank you so much and happy walk to workday. >> thank you, so much, ed. and thank you so much to mayor lee, and your leadership. already we have seen 7 people hit and killed by cars. of course that's too many. we are eager to see this plan implemented. the first streets are transformed because every time you first pave a street it's a time to calm traffic and it's time for san francisco to prioritize one of the characteristics to people all over the world that we are a walkable city. we need to make investment to keep our people safe and support our local neighborhood and businesses with foot traffic. thank you for all who attended this. first step i will invite supervisor mark ferrel from district 2. >> thank you so much. i just want to say really quickly tha

the venture cap lists of america have chosen the best cities in the country to start a company. rprise that the bay area tops the list. but here's a surprise, to those of you not from oakland, yes, oakland voted the 11th best city in which to start the company. cited local talent, local university and access to money. >> there's two things you need to get a company off the ground, one is talent and the other one is infrastructure to make the company float. and the san jose area is rich in both of those. >> 46 of all venture money in the entire country came here to the bay area. with cities like oakland on the rise, investors have more reason to park their money in the bay area. >> giants game tonight. what's the forecast going to be. >> pretty good. 60s. all the fog is holding back at the owes line. you can see it is sunny right now in downtown san francisco. if you're headed to the game this evening, expect those temperatures to be in the 60s. we have some changes for you memorial day weekend forecast. you can see on saturday we're going to stay the same in the interior valleys,

i thank you so much for the privilege of getting up every morning and working in the very best district in the best city. >> thank you angie that's what i'm talking about. it's not always that the student is honored but this student is the best student. this gentleman absolutely controlled the crowd and was so articulate and unflapable i'm thrilled here's the young man. the purpose of this award is to honor students who have succeed above all odds and he fits the description here's mr. williams. please come down. >> hi everybody thank you for having me tonight, i'm pretty nervous but i'm going to tell you about myself and my disability. i'm mr. williams i'm an incredible surprising artist and leader to others. i'm currently a member of the committee and volunteer at the jewish museum i like to write stories and the japanese culture. because of my disability you able to socialize would anyone. this program changed my life. i thought it was going to be like high school but it was really a social program 18 to 20 years old who are training to be more independent. when i joined i wasn't a social person but

i'm sorry. >> to be the best benefit for the city by a what you explain this again >> i should point out that the difficulty for the country were boom years for us we had the fastest growing airports in the world because of the expletive airfa airfare. so we weren't effected the same way as everyone else in the downturn. but we will see a 11 off of the traffic 2013 vs. 2012 we haven't seen a zero increase but the markets are not being opened up and no imply aircraft. so for that reason the competitive air traffic is not going to grow >> i think ms. newman talked about the new digital advertising. do you know how many clear channels you'll use that will use multiple advertiseers in one place >> it still has to go through the committee and so they wouldn't approval every one of those. has the clear up channel considers other places that will be determined but the fact that a lot of advertising was reflected from their bids >> but in looking at the 28 other airports it looks like a number of them - i'm trying to remember the page 56 - the advertising was through making and quite a few o

they go back and tell their friends and tell them to come to one of the best cities in the world, san francisco. thank you. [ applause ] >> in conclusion, a couple things. we have a little game we are playing here that we encourage you to do it. we talk about our staff and volunteer that wear a yellow ribbon that say staff on them. go ahead and meet them. write their names on the piece of paper. put it in the silver bucket and you have the opportunity to win -- some prices. these volunteers speak italian, hindu, french, mandarin, portuguese, spanish, tagalog and vietnamese. they are the ones that really help. a couple things i want to point out, the main changes here. when you walked in here you bumped into a bunch of brochures. the real experts are not the brochures but the staff and volunteers who share their information and passion. we put the brochures against the wall and brought the volunteers and staff to the middle. when the people came and they needed to understand what was the heart and soul of the city to meet the geniuses, they found in front and middle. that was an import

this is not in the best interest of the city. we're in the highest of economical the and economical times are getting better judges >> every other airport in the country there's a valid reason for having a gross or anything guarantee whichever is higher. >> so in terms of the digital advertising you can crank more adds but it's hard to say whichever one is going to be better. but to make sure i want to be clear there's nothing that says this would produce more money than a cardboard sign >> we don't have any documentation on that. the fact that there's a lower number of tvrdz locations which we don't disagree with doesn't main that the anything guarantee wouldn't have been just as much >> mr. chairman? >> and on others point i understand and agree with your point those two last year's the percentage h that kicked in was about $9.3 million at the same time in time it was down to $6 million but i find it compelling that the most of the airports that mr. martin was to downsize it's not going to last like it is today. >> supervisor f

the question for me isn't who's better, but what's in the best interest of the city and i don't know what the answer is. i want to give some deference -- i'm not sure what the answer to the question of what the best deal is. my inclination would be not to support this, which is where i i am right now because i do have questions. i could be convinced that this is the best deal and i think there are strong arguments on either side as to that point. i think that mr. rose has a great deal of information that he has given us about where this fits in the largest scheme of things, not only -- one thing that i think is unfortunate about some of the things that we have seen with respect to this case and i say as someone who is inclined not to support this is the way in which people have talked about this, on the side against this deal. there's a letter came in that i think references things that are really not relevant here, including how we need to have competitive bidding because if you don't there might be favoritism, fraud, all kind of things. i don't know that any and all only either side

deal with poachers and cattle pushers but i'll say that lind better news announce the fraction is the best city in the 20 if we will we can probably teach the governor of it can texas to find out how innovation is conducted but you don't have to take my word for it. today we are launching a new campaign and san francisco is celebrating new companies from tech to biotech to manufacturing to design and it's called san francisco is where the world changes. let's hear what they have to say on this video: judicious san francisco is a place where people say yes. it's about making thing happen there is not a lot of benefit, established had a hold you back if you have an idea and you -- people will tell you to go for it. >> technology is based all you need is a computer and a copy machine and you can create your company but you see 20 people in a warehouse trying to start it. this is happening all over here there is a lot of entrepreneur to be around entrepreneurs, i love coming home to san francisco and calling it home and it's forward thinkings and people don't accept the status quo and that let's us

. >> it was the best destination city. the daily beast rated you guys the fourth best drinking city in the country.

we are the best city to do procurement with women. we can do better and that's what we're here to talk about. as you maybe aware we have a city ordinance called the local business enterprise ordinance. we developed this program as a result to our challenged program, the 209 challenge to the minority womens' business program known as chapter 12a. we were not able to continue with the race base and gender base program. however, we are still able to provide for local business and the local business card techs would be minority owned business, women owned business and other business enterprises so those are the three categories by which we are working with and able to assist. now 209 while it became law as part of the constitution here in california, it didn't restrict us from doing technical assistance and outreach as well as tracking businesses. that's -- those two things are very important to women owned business, tracking them and making sure that they have the support and assistance that our city is providing, and getting them to the

if you want to hit the beach, hit the city by the bay, thousands of people will be flocking to the city today. bestet get out there early. by 2:00 p.m. mostly cloudy. by 6:00 p.m. temperatures cool off and we bring in showers. elsewhere, forecasting 71 not too bad. 74 for gilroy. 71 in livermore and sem tours will hold steady as we head to the next three days. wins drop off as well and then we have a heat wave. take a detailed look at the hour by hour forecast. some showers today. >> we need it and we'll count own. >>> 6:35. japan's airways successfully resumed boeing 747 flights. ana's commercial flight in japan follows 170 test flights which were required after battery fires on board. san jose international airport launched dreamliner service in january. but because of those battery problems grounded flights just six days later. assuming there's no additional issue, ana intends to resume service on saturday. >>> it is 6:36. east bay is considering a radical plan to combat foreclosure crisis. they want to use eminent domain to keep families in their homes. eminent domain is usually associated with

congratulate the supervisors and for all the work they did to develop a plan that is really the best for the city. this has been going on for a long to depreciate a hospital. we have members working so update the other hospitals throughout the city and we need to move this hospital for a larger plan i ask you to take action today and move this forward >> come up i'll call a few more names (calling names) >> good afternoon, commissioners i'm state and federal with the local 6. we believe that the revisions have been made st. luke's has been increased and enhanced the cathedral hill has been reduced and the traffic issues have been addressed. we think it's time to start the project so we urge the commission to please pass this project and move it forward. thank you >> good afternoon commissioners thank you for this opportunity to speak on behalf of rebuilding the hospital hill. i'm a structural engineer of the data coffee engineers. i'm a member of various boards. i'm very pleased this the projects are back on track we certainly needs those projects to support san francisco after the next earthquak

the passengers. so the city's attorneys constraints i thought that that was the best solution >> can you explain in one of your correspondences you talked about how to foster more attorneys location can you talk about the correlation a little bit. >> it was a nature incentive for the operator of the lessee to try and find more locates and tell the airports to share in the revenue we can find for revenue to continue will i trying to kriep up and pushing into the city's policies to try to limit advertising locations. so this fixes the advertising. >> there was no cap on the old lease. >> okay. >> colleagues any questions? >> okay. thank you very much mr. martin. mr. rose i believe you had an opinion on this matter >> i don't know why you would say that. mr. chairman you continue this resolution at our meeting of march 16th and i did direct the analysts about the airports whether they required the advertising for limited. you required the budget analysts to provide more information on the percent of the rent and the minimal guarantee and we've included that information. in the professional judgment of the

so we i have the worst 20 percent that is 20 percent of the city that has to make the most transfers to get where they are going and the best 20 percent so parts of the cities that need to make the fewest transfers where they are going and we map that and calculate whether the worst or best 20 percent of performance is concentrated either in a particular neighborhood or in these communities of concern. that's how we try to identify whether there is a potential area that should get special attention because they are disproportionately experiencing worse conditions. so a quick overview of some of the things we found. we have three different lenses that we look at this. the first is safety measures and we looked at pedestrian safety, both the absolute volumes of collisions and collision race and bicycle collusion and air quality pollutants. this is where we find that community's concern is experiencing some of these safety issues, pedestrian collisions, higher rate of pedestrian collision and there is certainly geographic patterns to collisions as well. so some neighborhoods of san francisco safety problems are concentrated in

the city is so exciting. >> jimmy: it's the best city in the world. >> and stimulating all the time.immy: yeah, that -- >> yeah, that's -- i'm learning about how to do this. i'm a mom. i have a 1 1/2-year-old. and that is me trying to navigate a coffee and a stroller in manhattan. >> jimmy: it's not easy. >> no. i'm learning that if you say, you know, "i would love a coffee this morning." what you're saying is, "i would love hot coffee all over me." >> jimmy: yeah, exactly. >> "i would like to put it down and set it up 50 times. and then drink half of it." so if you want that, then you want a coffee with a toddler in new york.
