[gavel] thank you. could you please call item 3? >> hearing to consider appointing four members terms ending october 19, 2013 to the eastern neighborhoods citizen advisory committee. there are four seats and 4 applicants. supervisor kim: thank you. we have to of the applicants here today. i will be calling both of you. we have first fernando marti for seat five and similar to the previous applicant, i am asking you to spend a few minutes to talk about your background and your interest in serving. if you would like -- something to like to accomplish. i know that you are applying -- reapply for the sea. >> thank you for nominating me. i have been on that dniester -- eastern neighborhood cac. it is interesting to see how we accomplish creating infrastructure. we have been very excited to start the process moving forward for our new park in the northeast mi

i will go to the full board with recommendation. one more item before us. it will be the longest one of the day. i do need to take a five minute break before that. we will return 1/4 to 12. i appreciate you colleagues. supervisor avalos: are back. if you could please call item no. 8. >> item #8 to require the recreation and park department to offer long-term management agreement to the national park service for certain property under the jurisdiction of the recreation and park commission located in san mateo county that is within the golden gate national park area legislative boundary sharp park and making environmental and other findings. supervisor avalos: think you, madam clerk. before us we have an ordinance and have an amendment of the whole for this ordinance. i will bring this forward right away, allowing us to discuss this item is pretty -- not a major change from the ordinance i submitted a week and a half ago at the full board for this hearing, but it does allow us to hear this item. this item does not constitute a project, so therefore this ordin

allegations in syria but russia votes against saying a report criticizing the government crackdown is not the full picture and the international community is receiving biased accounts of what's happening in the country. germany says there are no rapid solutions to the debt crisis and it could take years to revive the eurozone and save the single currency chancellor i'm going to buckle believes the region needs a new financial union with stronger controls and debt regulations. egypt started announcing the results of the country's first post revolution elections after a forty eight hour delay but the muslim brotherhood is already celebrating the victory claiming to have gained forty percent of the vote. i'll be back with another summer if we in fifteen minutes from now in the meantime let's go out and today it focuses on the main cultural symbol of russia it's the bolshoi theatre which is finally being returned to its glory from the days this sounds. great. to. soldiers but the. moscow. hello and welcome to the must go out so in this week's program we'll be exploring the magnificence of both so i th

but i would be uncomfortable sitting this item forward to the full board at this time because there are so many moving parts to it, and i prefer we get most of this information solid at the committee before we send it forward. it would also get the budget analyst time to reflect the changes in the budget analyst report, which i think will be useful as we continue to talk about the speed of at the end of the day, we will be able to make improvements through the amendments to change the financial picture for the city and to provide additional guarantees that strengthens this deal that we would be able to consider. but with regards to the process and how it came forward, that will ultimately be a policy called for the board. and i understand that part of it. there's nothing you can do to kind of change the way that this transaction came to us. i understand that a but i think we should spend some time to ensure that we're submitting, at least on the financial component, the strongest language and the most tight package possible. so i would request that we continue this item to january 4. th

so, we will be make that motion to move item #5 to the full board, as well as item #6, as amended. we will take that without objection. good, that is what i thought. ok, great. madam clerk, please call item no. 7. >> item 7. resolution urging the united states government to reduce the military budget, end the wars in iraq and afghanistan, and redirect the savings for domestic needs. supervisor avalos: thank you, madam clerk. this is a resolution that i brought forward with folks out in the community and decided that i share, as well, after 10 years into the war that began with 9/11, we do not see an end to this war in sight. it is causing great, dramatic pressure on governments at the federal, state, and local level to respond to the needs that we have around education, health, and maintaining the public well- being. a good portion of every dollar has approximately 68 cents on every federal dollar. every federal dollar is used to pay for military expenses. that is something that we cannot tolerate much longer, as a nation. it is important that we are able to speak, on a local level,

we did not know the full extent of the damage. we did not know the full impact of the tsunami. there were entire population centers affected by this. in many of these prefectures that we went to, one of the first things we said was that there was a complete loss of the mayor's office. the complete loss of the municipal leadership installations and buildings. people were having to land on their feet, figuring out where they go. in addition to the isolated communities, we needed to assess the infrastructure that we had in place. looming in the background was the nuclear crisis. this is where information became critically important. everyone was aware that their work risks, but they did not know what they were. the important thing was that we were available to help japan in any way that we possibly could. with technical expertise, with equipment. the challenge becomes, where do you begin? the japanese word for the operation is friend. what you are looking at here is how we presented forces and ourselves as a joint work force. as the governor talked about, it is very important to h

my communications with of the clerk, i would like to amend it to a motion to calendar this before the full board on december 13 at 3:00 p.m., the general time that we schedule these committees as a whole. that is what i meant. supervisor avalos: colleagues? supervisor mar: my understanding is that there are two appeals occurring on that same day. it will be a long potential evening. but i know that time is ticking of a lot of things before the sport. -- on a lot of things before this board. i just wonder at 4:00 is the right time. i imagine that this hearing will go for a long time. what about having this hearing, instead of at 3:00, after the appeals? we will be there late anyway as. >> -- supervisor mar: 6 of 1, half a dozen of the other -- supervisor elsbernd: 6 of 1, half a dozen of the other. supervisor avalos: someone is going to have to sit there for long time. supervisor mar: i do not know the order of who goes first. i leave that to the clerk and the president of the board. i know that it is a balancing act with different constituencies. supervisor elsbernd: i will make a motion t

that would be the point we would like to have the board of supervisors to have to build consider the full range of options. >> a year's worth of work needs another six weeks to come to us, so we will cut off right at the very end, right before we see all the analysis, we're going to cut it off. it seems a little odd. if we were really trying to get everything in front of us before we made any decisions, we would take more time. anything else for your discussion? i have a list of speakers i want to start off with i will call them off. please come forward as your name is called. jeff miller. >> good afternoon. i am with the center for biological diversity. we focus on protecting and recovering endangered species. we have a strong interest in the critically imperiled snake. sharp park represents one of the best recovery opportunities for this species. we can recover significant habitat for it. even if you do not care about snakes or endangered species act violations, there are a couple of things we can all agree are important. two things i think you will care about are the city's reputation

allegations in syria but russia votes against saying a report criticizing the government crackdown is not the full picture. germany predicts it could take years to overhaul the debt stricken eurozone and save the single currency. egypt's announcing the results of its first post revolution elections which looks like having the highest turnout in the nation's history every member of congress parliamentary election is what people in pakistan afraid they want the military out from cairo in just a few moments. international news in comments around the clock around the world this is. the u.n. human rights council has appointed a special investigator to look at allegations of abuse in syria linked to a government crackdown on protesters russia and china are among those who voted against the resolution which criticized damascus moscow says the u.n. report which led to the vote was not fully objective and the international community is receiving biased accounts of what's happening in the country. has more . the doubts being raised when it comes to syria is certainly coming from russia specifically on the o

over the next four years, that would lead to a full restoration. graphically, slide 11 shows you how that feels. again, our reserve policy states that the commission should adopt rates that, by the end of the 10-year plan, allows us to achieve that prudent level of reserves. by the time you get to your 2022, we are satisfying the required reserves. on our side of the budget, it seems to make sense that it is either two or four pennies. the level of our programs that we fund is a key variable. to our customer department, you can see what this will mean to their budgets. what i have done for you on page 12, as we go through the municipal railway line, that would be $1.3 million added to their budget in costs. their budget is about $800 million. adding $1 million to end $800 million budget would be less than one-quarter of a percent. a very small percentage of their budget. nevertheless, it is serious money. in the case of the public health department, their budget is $1.8 million a. this would add costs of about $600,000. it would be even less than a

even today many generate their own explanations for the full of a global goliath but some putting it down to the rule of just a few. or two reasons go because of jobs. the nineteen ninety one august coup was a turning point in the country's history with images of yeltsin standing on a tank creating a new hero yet for most here even that wasn't seen as causing a fatal crack in the soviet union it was all very sudden and shocking i mean there were people even months before us that this was going to go on forever so all the billions and billions and billions that the u.s. and put into intelligence and forecasting all proved to be completely useless the collapse of the soviet union was not so much a revolution rather it was a peaceful divorce of former republics longing for independence but the breakup led to long lasting and painful consequences pushing your savior to go so use a lot of the soviet union the biggest youth the liberal disaster of the twentieth century. and in that assessment led him or putin is not alone older many russians began enjoying freedoms never imagined in the u.s

that is just an example that the full project has to as a whole work for. i do want to just be clear that there have been a lot of things that on the record today that are simply not possible to really explain or address, and respectfully, i have to say there have been factual misrepresentations today, and i do not like having to say something like that, but i do think it is important for that be known, but i do not want you to leave today with a misrepresentation. this is a fine project, and i think we will have the opportunity to prove the case to you on the right day when this is before the board, so i thank you for your time today, and i think you in advance for keeping an open mind about the project. president chiu: before the next speaker, i want to see if there is any more public comment. if you could line up on that side. next speaker. >> good afternoon, supervisors. my name is paul. i have lived and run businesses in the 8 centenary of for years. i have come to make two points that i do not think have been made adequately today. one is what i consid
