everybody thank you for being here in the great steps of our city hall of san francisco. that means something are you ready to dance? all right.. well, today, at the one billion rising for justice anita and i wanted to join all of you and all the people on stage whom i'm personally proud to work together with from the supervisors to all the treasurer and all the elected officers we stand to end violence (clapping) we're doing what we can but you know when i look at those children and today valentine's day pay a lot of special attention to children don't we all. and what i want to be able to say to them we as adults we understand our efforts when we try to succeed in this endeavor and we are somewhat proud we as a city went for 44 months without a homicide. yes, that's something to be proud of (clapping.) but as we look at our kids they don't deserve 44 months but 44 years of no violence (clapping) and so not now that those 44 months have tragedyly ended with the latest we have important work to do together recommitted to ending violence not only in our city but join hands

these are entities like the san francisco planning urban renewal association which obtained almost all their funding from entities which have affairs in business with city hall and with city government or the other one of the housing operation supposedly. let me just point out one tactical problem that mr. herrera and mr. chiu may want to address and that's on page 13 of the ordinance with definition of a non-profit organization which is based on the word active refers to any entity that within the past 2 years has attempted to influence city legislator administrative action. on the other hand at the subsequently there is a reference to any non-profit organization to whom it should be to which, a developer has made cumulative donations of $5,000 or more since the date 1 year and before an application for environmental review occurs. i maybe missing something, but it seems to be an inconsistency between the two 2 years and the 1 years and i'm sure that's easily curable. finally i want to comment and commend the sponsor and the author for attempting to get a handle on the conduct of attorneys. attorneys historically have been able to hide behind attorney-clien

and and while the city encourages using the pool cars that are in the city hall, and our deputy director is on call for rolling out for officer-involved shootings and so you must have a car with him at all times, secondly, as i mentioned earlier, we do have some physical challenges on our staff. and in terms of performing functions and it would really add to the burden to need to go to city hall to get a car and then to take, use that car to do deliveries to the hall of justice. and because the nature of the documents that we are delivering to the hall of justice are highly confidential and need to remain in our custody and that is the only small percentage of the use of that second car, the remaining 20 investigators on the staff need to use that car to go out and do investigations in the field. and so, that concludes my report. that we have been asked to reduce by 81,000 when in fact we need 300,000 to add aadditional staff and another 40,000, or 50,000 for new cars, and the reduction of the step adjustment factor and thank you. >> thank you, director hicks, it was good to hear in the
