but other than that, the city is a tough place to ride a bike. it's, you know -- great capital improvements are happening, but it doesn't feel safer. and that's not just me saying that. so one of the things that seemed to be happening is that there are a lot of t.n.c. parking and parking in the bike lane. think about possibly coming up with a way that the companies themselves could pay a part of the fines. part of the reason why i say that is because i have a colleague, a friend, who works for one of the t.n.c.s, and he says they have a lot more information that we might understand. and i've read that they're hyperaccurate maps, so there is a tremendous amount of information out there. so perhaps some of that responsibility could shift to the t.n.c.s because a lot of these drivers are just kind of getting by. that might impact or have an effect on the level of enforcement that is going on. because there isn't necessarily that much enforcement going on. it might be, hey -- it could bankrupt these guys, or something like that. anyways, that's what i

the capital city of north korea is reinventing itself. but only a few can enjoy the benefits of those the regime allowed. kim jong un introduced an insidious reward system to coerce allegiance to the regime. play those who don't make it into the fun metropolis are often cool and tom green. have fun in pyongyang starts feb 28th on w. . cut. cut. cut. this is g.w. news why but tonight in the uncertain future here in germany plans for there are after chancellor angela merkel have suddenly fallen apart the woman tipped to take over from chancellor merkel says she is no longer in the running a shocking announcement thoughts on the great prompt insists her decision.

another step is to support the city supervisors. many supervisors, as they move up the ranks, have the opportunity to take what's known as a 24 plus supervisory training session. it's over a series of weeks and it helps people focus on what's expected of you as a city supervisor. currently, as we understand it, there's not a specific component in that related to standards of ethical conduct and how to navigate through decisions. we think that would be a benefit. we know that the city has a training with new municipal executives. we sent some of our staff to that over the years. that's another opportunity as people have more significant leadership roles throughout the city, building a component there. leveraging existing opportunities in the city to implement a stronger and better, more effective focus across the board and more seamless focus. working with departments to work with tools they find most useful as they assess and we work with them to assess where the hotspots are, whether it's related to statements of incompatible activi

in addition, the city gets the entire building. the initial rent is about $48,125 per month or $66 per square foot. that was based on appraisal and review. and to be honest, that is below fair market rate. the city will pay an annual adjustment of 3%, plus utilities and services as they do now where they're currently at. we will be attempting to get the building onto sfpuc power, because we have the whole building and therefore we can do that. that will lower the rates, hopefully. the landlord is also responsible for security and putting in a card entry system. the landlord is giving us improvement allowance of $5,000 to use in the initial term. there is furniture and equipment left at the site. and rather than selling it, the landlord is willing to rent it to us for the entire term. at the end of the term, we can keep it. it's worth $100,000. that saves the city time and money not to have purchase desks for the new staff members and staff members that don't have desks at this time. that savings along with the tenant improvement al

usual and that is the cities of the future look like the. and so to get the yes digitized underground everything service from below and the vibrance of life above. the use is not the vibrance of life he's talking about but this is the way so many cities operate leaving the rest of the planet to drown in its own waste. and as cities grow bigger they also have to grow more efficient and trash collection as we just saw but also on public transport energy delivery water treatment you name it and that's why more and more urban centers are turning to digital platforms where settings for all of these services can increasingly be tailored to real time data the so-called smart city is more than just a blueprint in taiwan it's already in the works and it's all being powered by electronic currency. cities around the world are growing at an unprecedented pace in asia almost half a 1000000000 people are expected to move from the countryside to the cities over the next few decades migration on a monumental scale and one that involves monumental challenges

so the city could not transfer the entire site to the tjpa. so related to what's being requested now, we are talking about an exchange that would permit the consolidation of the transbay term gnat site in addition to the towers development. but the streets are subject to this. the property is transferred originally to the city based on the act approved by the state in 1968. and so the port owns title to those streets. and the burden act does not allow the city or the port to transfer any interest in those streets without state approval. and so to consolidate the site or to make the permanent easement available to the millennium towers association, the trust would have to be removed. now, the state does allow for the city to remove the trust. there are a number of conditions. the primary condition or key condition is that the property that's being swapped or transferred into the trust must have a value equal to or greater than the property that's being removed from the trust. so the fremont and mission streets, that land must be -- can't be mor

vacationers the crop from the city. every year, the crop from the city. with the right approach, even quiet and out-of-the-way places like monson might be able to get in on the rural tourism boom. there were some requirements. one was easy transportation. people had to be able to get there easily and quickly. massachusetts investors helped by connecting the town to the railroad network. monson people got into the act. they voted in a town meeting to use town funds to improve the roads for bicyclists, like these people. and for carriage riders, hoping to move through the countryside. outside investors also constructed a place to stay, which was another requirement. in 1882, investors built monson a beautiful new hotel. there needs to be easy travel. you need good lodging and good roads. but the most important requirement was what we might call place making. place making. defining and marketing your rural place as the kind of place where urban vacationers might enjoy visiting. for that crucial task, monson people turned to a railroad publicist, his name was

he says the set up is one of a kind and would make cities more livable. the people 7 storeys above us produce 8 tons of trash a day. separating plastic from organic is still a major challenge for us. so many people when they for away their rubbish but the manual task of separating all the gunk from junk is worth it nothing goes to waste these leftovers of pureed the fat siphoned off for using cosmetics the water removed for treatment all that's left a tiny little flakes sent off to a bio gas plant to create energy. 6000 for the dehydration machine saves a 6000 kilometers of unnecessary transportation within berman every year on the isn't instead of 15000 containers we only have to transport 5000 that's why in other words we reduce the garbage in our cost by 2 thirds. and that in a country often stuck in analogue. it either didn't have the guns or scanned this is the system knows which ones belong to which customers then they're billed and it's all logged and if they just looked. then there are those silver bin it's may contain sensitive data for shredding

by the time kansas city and amarillo were linked by the santa fe railroad, kansas city's cattle market started booming based on the cattle raised in the panhandle. we helped each other to grow the castle industry with the train connecting the two. the other aspect is the culture and fashion and objects in the museum that tell the story of going to kansas city and finding goods and services that were bringing sophistication back here. even the cowboys would go shopping and buy spurs and boots in kansas city. we did not have local business owners that could sell those items to the cowboys. i think people can understand beyond this area, it is a local history, it is also a regional history and a national history. so i worked on a number of we have a newspaper from kansas city that is dated to the era of the borger boom of oil. so that is a town northwest of amarillo. in there was oil discovered in 1926, the town and there was a huge influx of investment money into amarillo. have urban space what we in this image, is a kansas city newspaper featuring amarillo has the wonder city of the tex

up here the whole city is spread out before you. eat meat. i think that's the perfect view down there you can see that square that's the town hall and right behind the throne cure here. now that i've gotten an overview of the city if i could start on my tour it is said that travelling is the best education so i should learn a lot here in munich this city has lots of art history and culture that spans the range of several centuries i have decided to go to an art museum 1st the idea. in a good 700 paintings by european artists from the 14th to the 18th centuries are exhibited here. i'm getting a private tour from our to story in cali not last long she'll be revealing some of the secrets of the i.d.p. that critics treasures. if not for the 1st let's have a look at this world famous self-portrait of. even the number one who received it is the self-portrait with fur trimmed robe why did i do a pinch himself in this pose portion of the mind. the fact that time artists were more or less unknown nameless and they were considered craftsman and the idea

the project. other m.t.a. or cityrojects where we get a class 6 exemption on the project, we make sure we understand what the goal on this is and the timeline for what -- when they expire. so i don't know if that answers your question, but we did make the determination and the analysis to make sure this does qualify as a class 6 exemption. >> president yee: are you finished, supervisor? >> supervisor preston: thank you. >> president yee: you are finished? >> supervisor preston: yes. >> president yee: okay. seeing no other names on the roster, i would invite members of the public who wish to speak in opposition to to please come on up. go ahead. >> good afternoon, president yee, board of supervisors. my name is david moore. i live in the area, so i'm your prime witness. the appellant mentions the fact of 5,000 vehicles moving down that street, which to me, as a resident, i would question to anyone supporting the appeal, would they enjoy living on an on ramp that has 5,000 vehicles acrossing in front of their front door

and one of the hardest hit cities is cleveland. here the unemployment rate for whites is around 6 percent. traffic on americans that number is almost 3 times the lion. by many cities across america the sights of boarded up businesses and devastated neighborhoods is something that's become increasingly common but what's remarkable about cleveland is that it also happens to be the worst city in the entire united states for in for more talent. in cleveland there are neighborhoods where the infant mortality rate is worst than that of countries like guatemala botswana and even north korea. eric price is a lifelong cleveland resident. he says the scale of the problem is the product of living in a forgotten city should be a great area it was great for bringing up kids it was great educationally there was a middle class typical middle class midwestern neighborhood. eric remembers these neighborhoods as prosperous places when transports oil and steel drove the city's economy. but now there are no jobs of course there's no money they've a sta

i was born in the city, raised in the city and i was highly educated in the city. i was fortunate enough to be one of the first people not only in my family to go to college, but as well as in my whole neighborhood. it wasn't a lot of people trying to pursue higher education. we were confined in a certain type of mindset within our neighborhood to think that graduating college wasn't something that was possible. so you might -- imagine how i felt when being one of the first people to drop of college went to college. i had no hope. i do not have the happiness i felt right now seeing the niners going to the super bowl and knowing i am a a, -- college graduate. i was in a basement with some creative people cooking up one of the biggest independent films in the world right now, but also , i was at a place where i didn't know where i wanted to go fortunately, enough in my pursuit of a degree and graduating from st. mary's college in california, city college provided a crucial psychological class that st. mary's wanted $10,000 for. i couldn't afford that. i am saying all

architects and engineers is called for to save the city. or. the most a project is an elaborate and expensive attempt by the italian authorities to say venice. concrete foundations weighing many tons have been sunk at all 3 look him in let's look at in them and flood gates at high walls had these can be raised as far as the water level requires. but there is no doubt that if it is ever completed the most a project will be an engineering masterpiece. but skeptical voices warn against euphoria. in most usa the most a project is important but it's not the sole solution it's inconsistent i believe to want to protect the city from super floods without at the same time protecting it from decay. that is why another idea is to raise the subsided bed of the lagoon and with it the entire city. what sounds like a crazy plan was developed by researchers at the university and neighboring powder well. it certainly was full blown. on our own ass sukumar shape will be the yarmouth or don't you know me interests and we inject the water into it quite obviously. y

this is for the city's life span services. the traffic offender program, joint powers authority for the security of the transit center. federal grant, state grants, private grants and some other miscellaneous revenue. and this total represents approximately 1% of our budget. just to summarize for our fiscal year 21 budget submission, the general fund operating budget will be for $616 million, the airport fund is for $102 million, general fund project based for $15 million. services to other departments, $6.7 million and special revenues and grants about $6.4 million for. there's an increase of 55 million $from last year to this year. the majority of those increases are attributeable to increases in personnel that the airport has requested and also some additional positions that have been added to the budget for civilianization and for some academy classes. sources of funding. this chart represents where the sources of our budget come from. the general fund makes up the largest component at 75 percent. state revenue represents a

in the u.s. citieslike houston are struggling to overcome decades of urban planning that is given more space to cars than anything else. the more you have reduced the dimensions of the vehicle of course we achieve that i don't live in the drive units into the wheels themselves basic technical components as far into the corners as possible to make more interior space years ago. and that frees up space on the road so. shrinking vehicle footprints are just one part of shufflers mobility vision with this award winning prototype can carry 4 people to their destination cleanly autonomous li and flexibly in. the city will drastically change as we share mobility if it is public or private leaving the possibility for the city to come back to the people meaning we need less parking spots. we basically need the cars or the planes or the drones whatever it is too long so we need new spaces. constitution. in the near future digital. networking will drive our mobility. shufflers idea foresees people using autonomous

the demand for accommodation is rising as job growth in the city continues. the market of hidden 1st time we're going to have to reflect on our expectations and requirements. how can we create high quality small apartments. and how small is small. this doesn't mean doing without generous bases we just have to minimize a little and get a little cleverer in design. unadorned for standard windows the same layouts on each floor simplicity is key that something that our house taught as well. but the comfort of those who live there also plays a central role in designing a groove that lights and laid out well you have all. the challenges that space is limited and things are getting more expensive including brands. so we have to respond by using this space still available to us for affordable housing. is indeed at tall order a major challenge for housing authorities urban planners and architects buildings that are cheap and actually nice to live in. so every year some 40000 people move here through the german capital of berlin and up with pressure on the job and real

the city presented itself proudly as open and welcoming. when the new mayor rene decided to take radical action and deport the attackers he caused a stir both in his own left party and the city as a whole. as his ethmoid i 1st heard about renee villagers plan i was really angry and sad but. i never would have thought that he would even consider doing something like bad let alone actually do it. but the mayor says that he wanted to avoid the incident being instrumental ised by the far right . if only he will lie about it norm gordon the uncertainty among the population was simply enormous and i wanted to make sure that everything was done by the book today we know that in 3 cases the sentences are so harsh that they are likely to be deported 3 to 4 of his knees some of these people have had so many 2nd chances this is more like their 15th chance. for some time now. one of the attackers many of whom were known to the police already disagrees putting down his involvement to the back that it's difficult for refugees to find their feet in germany

the city of detroit and those in power should feel ashamed. ofn: congresswoman, in terms how this crisis is affecting not just detroit, but across the the wealth,rms of especially of african-americans and latinos because of the seizures of their homes and especially resulting from after 2008 mortgage meltdodown with 70 other people went underwater. >> homes are in economic stability. historically in other cities , majority black cities, what you know is these are homes that families have been in there for generations. generation after generation. you could probably go back -- i remember i was telling bernadette there was a woman who was born in her home. a senior citizen in her 70's, and loses her home for less than $1000. it is devastating to see something so ripped away from you. yes, economic stability is so tied to homeownership. it is not only what hahappen hee with this tax foreclosure crisis and i think illegal taking is that we also see that big banks, mortgage industry, others are so institutional systemic racism within their processes

the city has added over the last few years.nd specifically the new or better services the citizens are receiving from the 3,000 more f.t.e.s. i'd like to clarify departmental performance audits versus financial control audits. performance audits address the effectiveness of the city department in delivering services, financial control audits deal with financial controls. data wrangling was mentioned. data wrangling is certainly important and it falls under the category of a may-do requirement, but not a shall-do requirement. for the c.s.a. one of my favorite topics, being a former c.p.a., is risk-based auditing. risk-based auditing requires an enterprise risk analysis. once you identify the risk for the enterprise, in this case the city, you rank them highest to lowest. and then you allocate audit resources against major risks. it's that simple. i've been asking for the assessment many times, also when i was on the cgoboc. yet it's never been provided. thank you. >> thank you, mr. dratler. any other public comment? seeing none.

the city plays different roles. we are creating a dashboard on the website where the strategies will be there. i want to give you a little flavor of what these strategies look like. a sample from the buildings domain of strategies. this one is about assessing and retrofitting our municipal buildings. detailing the process we go through to identify the most vulnerable buildings and how we prioritize those improvements. this is weather and climate addressing flooding. this is led by the planning department in coordination with the port and m.t.a. i am looking at that district and future floodrists and projects implemented to reduce those risks. community strategy. this one is a study to look at the overlap between vulnerable populations and buildings. we know some of the most vulnerable buildings such as sros or affordable housing also has the most vulnerable alterations to provide targeted as assistance in believe retrofitting or other services. with that i want to turn it over to bryan to highlight the strategy that
