i'm manager of the tour program as well as i am the historyian of city hall. this building is multifaceted to say the very least it's a municipal building that operates the city and county of san francisco. this building was a dream that became a reality of a man by the name of james junior elected mayor of san francisco in 1912. he didn't have a city hall because it was destroyed in the earth wake of 1906. construction began in april of 1913. in december 1915, the building was complete. it opened it's doors in january 1916. >> it's a wonderful experience to come to a building built like this. the building is built as a palace. not for a king or queen. it's built for all people. this building is beautiful art. those are architecture at the time when city hall was built, san francisco had an enormous french population. therefore building a palace in the art tradition is not unusual. >> jimmie was an incredible individual he knew that san francisco had to regain it's place in the world. he decided to have the tallest dome built in the united states. it's now stan

this is the best part of our job when we get to go out to the communities away from city hall and higher -- hear about concerns that happened in your district. we'll hear from our captain. we get a chance for the commissioners to introduce ourselves to you and tell you what we do on our day jobs in addition to the commission. i'm going to start to my left with commissioner chan. >> good evening, thank you for being out here tonight. as president mazzucco said this is our favorite day of the month. my name is chan. i'm on this committee for about 4 years. i'm an attorney serving immigrants. i focus on issues such as language access and immigrant issues. i'm happy to see everyone here tonight and especially reporting from the captain. thank you for hosting us and thoughts and suggestions from community members here tonight. thank you. >> thank you. commissioner? >> good evening, everyone. my name is joyce turman, vice-president of the police commission. when i'm not vice-president, i'm a partner at the lawfirm reed smith for a group for northern california. thank you for the great turnout.

interest of the business that we do here in city hall. the legislation that you have before you today does a number of things. it imposes the amendment that would expand the issue of lobbist and more lobbying activity is subject to self disclosure requirements and limits exemptions that are currently in the law so there is no confusion about what it is that we mean to capture. we also at the same time ensure that permanent expediters have the same rules that we demand of lobbyist and attorneys that do business here in city hall. i think we both recognize that we should demand no less of ourselves than we do of the public and the interest we seek to regulate. that's why our legislation also calls for greater accountability for oversight, contracts, procurement and grant making that we do here when we do the city's business and finally the legislation i think goes absolutely best in making sure that our community is as informed as possible when it comes to the business going on here in city hall. we have enhanced public information provision

on case by case basis so now any time there's proposal to fly the flag of another nation over the city hall the council has to listen to the community and then take a vote. >> cop satellite went came up and asked me that request. >> that's request san leandro city council member lee proposed flying chip he's flag on october 1st. it's the national day when the country founded. but for many tibet and the flag is the illega occupation of their country. >> we don't want to live under chinese brutal regime. we have no option but to sacrifice our body for the return of the hollyness dalai lama. >> she was strung up electrocuted and teeth knocked out because she's a meditation group banned in china. the this woman also a practitioner says her husband has been jailed and she's unable to return to her child without being percent constituted. council member lee grandfather was killed by the communist government believes flying the flag would be a step to improved relation. >> when i visited in china in 2007 there are progressive changes and i want to see more progressive changes in the future >> in t

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
