and commissioner vietor asked that we revisit the second goal, the storm water goal, which originally read minimize flooding. we did reevaluate that at the commissioner's request, and we think that integrate green and grey infrastructure to manage storm water is a lot more comprehensive. we are really taking things now with an urban water should approach. we're looking at all of our different problems that stem from storm water, and we're looking at solving those in a way that incorporates both grey and green infrastructure. this reinforces the commission's policy to look at things in urban water shed framework. commissioner moran: what was the old version? >> minimize flooding. commissioner moran: ok. the good thing about the old one was that it had a very particular focus. what has happened to that focus? >> commissioners, if you recall, the discussion of minimizing flooding -- flooding is actually pretty minimal in this city already. only 3% of the city that has the flooding, and that is on the streets. there's very little actual damage claims that we get for flooding, and we have

, it would read that the city would adopt a goal of analyzing and developing by january of 2013 to reduce the weightless for san francisco residents seeking access to a community garden plot. the first of these amendments are to make sure that they are eminently achievable. i support them and ask for your support for the amendments as well. supervisor chu: i will second of those amendments and think the president for working with us to get to this language. >> can we take the motion to amend without objection? can lead to roll call? >> you will need a roll call, mr. chairman. on the item as amended. [roll call vote]

we will ask you to concentrate on the red, gold, and blue numbers. our goal was not to exceed the $7 billion. during our validation, we continued to have hydraulic models within the system that allowed us to accurately predict response to various rainfall flow conditions. this information helps us to collect the right projects to meet the unique conditions of the structure, like the boxes around the city. the key drivers point of the recommendations are reliability, redundancy, and regulatory compliance. there is an emphasis on maintaining the excellent record of combined sewer discharge compliance. but we also look at potential regulatory requirements, like less frequent discharges so that we do not have to adapt more stringent requirements for the compliance with in your first goal. condition assessment was once again the foundation of the effort to make sure -- maintain system reliability and remove seismic of vulnerability. we conducted inspections of iraqi systems, including waste water pumps and combined sewer discharge outfalls. those are the pipes lea

goal. it helps to ensure all departments are responsive to the city's established housing goals. the supervisor feels comfortable with the proposed changes recommended by staff regarding putting this in the administrative code. she also agrees with the proposed amendment you will hear about later to have a geographic overlay specifically providing district updates in each of the categories. should also like to express her thanks to the planning staff who have worked on this, especially kimia, sarah, teresa, and ann marie. >> i will explain the way it is now in terms of reports and hearings. i will explain what the ordinance would mandate for these. finally, i will describe the density proposals. currently, the department has three housing report. these would address most of the requirements published in the ordinance. some of these reports are not mandated and therefore might not be presented before the commission and public. these reports are the annual housing progress report. this mandated report covers our progress on implementing the housing elements. this evaluates our succe

the goals were trained around real result. based on the specific number of homeless veterans in 100 days or the timing for contact and placement and housing. hide it is proud to partner with the va and the city -- hud is proud to partner with the va and the city of san francisco. to clarify how hard the works, hud was cleared to fund an additional 200 housing vouchers. the va identifies a homeless veteran, prefers them to the housing authority and provides them with case management services. these are all important elements of the program. hud is the federal agency that convenes the san francisco bureaus and guides the initiative. i want to make sure i acknowledge mark ruiz as the team lead for the home initiative here. also george, in the back of the broom, and toed cabrreras, whose work has been a central. we're working to find homes for chronically-homeless veterans who have a hud voucher. specifically the goal is to find housing for 50 veterans and 100 days. to accomplish this, we need owners and lamb motor -- and landlord

, it would read that the city would adopt a goal of analyzing and developing by january of 2013 to reduce the weightless for san francisco residents seeking access to a community garden plot. the first of these amendments are to make sure that they are eminently achievable. i support them and ask for your support for the amendments as well. supervisor chu: i will second of those amendments and think the president for working with us to get to this language. >> can we take the motion to amend without objection? can lead to roll call? >> you will need a roll call, mr. chairman. on the item as amended. [roll call vote] there are 11 aye's. item five, an ordinance authorizing the master agreement between the city and the regents of the university of california regarding various agreements and other transactions relating to -- >> this ordinance is finally passed. can you call items 6-27 relating to the budget. june >> approving the budget of the treasure island development authority. services previously approved can be performed by private contractor for lower-cost.

-- the goals of the program. but they are still comfortable to the city administrator's office. supervisor kim: how can that be done? how did you plan on doing that? >> similar to the purchasing office, at this point, what they do is have regular staff meetings, and whether it is monthly or every two months, they talk about what the new coming things are, making sure that communication is going out to all staff, whether you are in the central office or at an enterprise fund department. supervisor kim: i think that is incredibly important. even the we have folks around the city -- and i understand why they have to be in-house -- but i think regular meetings are incredibly important. supervisor campos: i wanted to follow up, and i appreciate those comments and questions. a couple of other points -- i wonder -- i spoke to directors barks. i asked about the 12b program and equal benefits division and the important role that that function has played. -- i spoke to director sparks. it has been so successful that now it

if i can make a motion to amend by including the words in goal. -- single. president chiu: any discussion on this motion? supervisor olague: [inaudible] i'm concerned i don't have enough information yet to give me some insight to the impact big box retailers have to take on the lion's share of products. they are moving into areas where they are selling grocery items or flicker like they do in some instances now, i believe it has come up with a planning commission. alcohol isn't allowed in the park. supervisor kim: supervisor olague brought up some of the concerns i have around this liquor license. i appreciate some of the organizing efforts that have been a, particularly the alliance for a better district 6 to reduce the amount of region while i have less concerns with this approval of the liquor license transfer, we have a major one coming up at walgreen's. i did have some questions about why the hours were extended from 10:00 p.m. to 11:00 p.m. given that the store will be located, including visiting the site to ensure that alcohol is not taken in by miners

goal. we must maintain the integrity of the white house.hat integrity must be real, not transparent. there can be no whitewash at the white house. we must reform our political process, ridding it not only of the violations of the law but also of the ugly mob violence and other inexcusable campaign tactics that have been too often practiced and too readily accepted in the past, including those that may have been a response by one side to the excesses or expected excesses of the other side. two wrongs do not make a right. i've been in public life for more than a quarter of a century. like any other calling, politics has good people and bad people. and let me tell you, the great majority in politics in the congress, in the federal government, in the state government are good people. i know that it can be very easy under the intensive pressures of the campaign for even well-intentioned people to fall into shady tactics. to rationalize this on the grounds that what is at stake is of such importance to the nation that the end justifies the means.

we are strongly in favor of the timeline to ensure confidence of the goals. there are attainable with the effort of the city and community. we would like to emphasize that for this program to be a success and sustainable, he must speak out and include community input, especially in regards to the external evaluation of where the program will ultimately reside. nearly all of our urban agriculture projects up and realized things to the callous hours, hard work, and skills of dedicated -- countless hours, hard work, and skills of dedicated volunteers. i ask you of this ford and thank you for your time and consideration. supervisor mar: can i just ask from the report, i think there is some demand asked of adequate funding and oversight body and you mentioned input from community groups and the urban agriculture alliance. i think there is an explicit asked mentioning job training and employment opportunities. could you elaborate on those? >> we feel it is a lot of potential and our members have made it clear that it has not really been a focus prior to this, how mu

post, and the end result was that england benefited from a goal that was not given to ukraine. w, basically, they have no choice because they have made themselves look pretty ridiculous. >> critics say this technology will slow the game down. is that justified? >> i do not think it is pure it was close the game down is when a bunch of players circle the referee and say, "that was a goal." and no one really knows. that is what really slows the game down. the technology has been used for years to solve close line calls. the people who make the technology say they can get a decision to the referee within about a minute, and it has not hurt tennis at all. it has made tennis a better game. >> we will see what happens with this decision. thank you for being in the studio to talk to us about it. moving on to some business news, the european central bank has cut its key interest rate by 0.25% to 0.75%, a record low. >> the rate affects borrowing costs in the broader economy. analysts say the cut will only modestly help europe's struggling economies and troubled banks. some economists sa

i ashare in the objectives and goals that have been articulated by the other supervisors, but i thinkt remain unanswered about this proposal. the fact is the amount of money we have, even though it is significant over long period of time, it is not a lot of money relative to the needs of affordable housing in san francisco. not only is it a very modest amount of money, but we're talking about creating a fund and in the process giving up a number of things that are very significant. i think there is an overarching question here about the overall value of what we are giving up. and the value relative to what we are getting in return. i would like to be in a position where i can support this effort, but i need to hear more about the cost benefit analysis. i need to hear more about what it is we are giving up in exchange for what is proposed. no one questions the need to create an independent source of affordable housing. we need to make sure that we cannot create unintended consequences and that in five, 10, 15, 20 years from now we don't look back at what is being done today and regret

the goal is to balance all of that. there has been overstatement of the impact on the unnaturalness and open space in a park near other lit areas, in terms of the highway and other areas around there. i will be supporting the motion. i agree that the eir is adequate. in fact, i think it is more than adequate. and we needed to spend $1 million of scarce park money to do this. i will not get on my soapbox about ceqa and san francisco's, i believe very conservative approach into throwing project into eir's death that do not need to be thrown into the eye are's. -- eir's. we have had several significant park matters come up since i have been on. in every single one we see the personal attacks on the department. we saw that expanded to the city field foundation and even to somebody who is deceased. john fisher, donating lot of money to help improve playing fields to route san francisco including in my district in mission playground. we see charges of fraud and corruption. i just want to say to anyone who is a part of that gro

the goal of the legislation is to address the need for student housing in a manner that acknowledges protect our existing housing stock. in other words, student housing is not the only kind of housing for which there is a severe shortage in san francisco. we have the housing affordability crisis in part because of an imbalance in supply and demand. there's an estimated shortage of as many as 50,000 state and beds in san francisco. this legislation is intended, first and foremost, to encourage the production of new student housing through incentives. student housing is already exempt, as of a few years ago from inclusion airing housing fees and requirements under certain circumstances. this legislation that we have today before us would also exempt student housing from unit mix requirements in specific eastern neighborhood areas for specific neighborhoods within the eastern neighborhoods zone of the city. it would also reduce the open space requirement to parallel the requirements for single resident occupancy buildings. the goal of the legislation will encourage and incentivize the c

i would want to take some time to get that answer. >> given the fact that the goal is to do this wall, i would say a six month continuance for us to come back -- neither the wong's or my intentions client is to have the wall not being done. it is in the intention of both parties. you have to understand we are doing this as fast as possible. our hands are tied because of the process, arbitration, because of what is going on there. i would plead that we did the six months continuance. we would give you a progress reports in the meanwhile so you know where we are going with this, and then come back. >> i might give maybe a two months continuance. maybe then we would have more information in order to actually make a final decision. right now, it feels like there is not a final agreement with the arbitrator's, but i would like to see something more concrete sooner than six months. >> if that is your inclination, realistically speaking, it will take us about a month and a half to get back in front of the arbitrator. i would foresee that it would take another month for as to come up with new

i think it was clear the goal was to increase market share and challenge smaller hospitals. we are talking about the whole health system in this agreement. it is not just st. luke's, it's all providers in san francisco and the board felt our members should not be forced into kaiser alone and not be forced into sutter alone and we should keep competition in the marketplace. supervisor chiu: so you are saying that a couple of weeks ago, blue shield proposed a narrow network to essentially drive out their competitors? is that a fair characterization? >> that is one way of saying it. i think it was a brilliant business strategy. the idea is to increase your market share so that you can determine the price point. as the largest employer in this city, if we were to poll all of our members, 5000 members you know how big our employers are. we don't have many to have 5000 employees. if an employer pulled out of st. francis or st. mary's, that would be a significant loss of business. supervisor chiu: i know there was not a lot of coverage on the decision but i was surprised to understa

we're looking into the potential of how to reach the goal. i will not go much into the strong cyclists. a lot of these people go long distances in copenhagen. tc[the young ones, they shoulde a chance also. here you have a situation with an intersection which affects the cyclists. there are more visible. -- they are more visible from the cars. we intend to cooperate with09gze society on the other side for how we can improve the possibilities. if your cyclist,, it is different than if your car driver. we're very much interested in a lifestyle if you live in copenhagen, and is very important that you can bring a bicycle in on public transport. that is possible on the regional trains. there are some rooms in the trains, which is space for the bicycles, even during rush hour. you could say that the voters in copenhagen are very positive about this. last election, it was partly run up by some of the politicians, and one of those was our mayor. the politicians now, they say there is something for everyone. the issues which are the most important to a

in to play league matches not dominical christian to help set up the shot goal for the first goal then decided to get on the scoreboard himself the seal the deal in the seventy first minute you go to me so that interest you go in and pull beautifully with the twenty five year old to the rest till the final score not even the drug gods be able to hold there's a neat juggernaut this season as you will see in just a moment. i shall title hopeful cess to moscow however suffered a shock defeat on the day the army men go into a three one to a team who finished in the relegation group last season i'm car burmistrov opening proceedings just half a dozen minutes in before the city home to equalise for cisco. thirteen minutes to the alexy read. the former russian international having a great. great. rock the two second half sendings off for the visitors would then further deepen the car run on the server throughout. europe and the other side from the capital lockable t.v. had better luck on the day the real women at beating. off shoot will sit pretty alongside sunita to t

that the san francisco police department provides. for now, our goals are the five zones that they mentioned earlier. one of them being the tenderloin. the second one being western addition, following the mission, as well as british point and mission valley. if we see a spy, our goal is to respond in that area -- if we see a spike, our goal is to respond in that area. the program components of the san francisco city response network are three major components. one of them is reached out reached. that is the day the canvassing -- street outreach. that is the daily canvassing. the second is a crisis response. that is where we work closely with the department that spoke earlier. it is tailored to respond to homicides, shootings, stabbings, and physical altercation. the individuals that are impacted by death or murder are high priority. and then shootings and stabbings. and just to clarify physical altercation, sometimes we have questions around that component. that refers to any fights, riots, a potential physical altercation between two different groups o

the goal is to balance all of that. there has been overstatement of the impact on the unnaturalness and open space in a park near other lit areas, in terms of the highway and other areas around there. i will be supporting the motion. i agree that the eir is adequate. in fact, i

the fourth goal is to increase public knowledge of the department's mission. when the public really understands what we do and why we do it, they have a better experience. the international association for public participation spectrum. you see increasing levels of public impact. the different roles are to conform -- in form, consult, involve, collaborate, and power the public. we looked at what are the different departments activities under each of the rolls. will notify residents, and put things on our website, send e- mails and have informational meetings, when we consult as well me -- is when we seek input from the public. in our assessment, we collaborate together because they're very similar. this is when we work with the public together and plan for policies the workshops as well as advisory committees. we had some expenses -- this is when task forces are used. we have some key highlights of the assessments. we passed but staff at the public, what is the current role of the public? there are a lot of points that can be gathered from this. the main point

so i think that the goal of the declaration is to inspire good policy it's not to save. any policies that necessarily but it does inspire good policy and to say all right if you're going to put forward a bill that affect the internet let's make sure that it protects the privacy of internet users but let's make sure that it doesn't stamp on our ability to speak online so i suspect the especially as we have more and more momentum around the separation and more users signing onto the declaration more momentum behind these these better bills and we'll hear more about them as well all right so. i mean their fact that everybody internet is playing such a role and and our day to day lives would you agree that internet freedom is now a nonpartisan issue something that members on both sides of the political spectrum can agree on absolutely and i think nonpartisan is the right word for it instead of bipartisan. supersede politics you know the internet as you said is this essential . binding platform that we all connect to and it shouldn't be. a political plaything of one side or t

i think that is the goal to maximize voter turnout. mething that could be done pretty easily, though i do not know there would be a willingness to do that. in any event, i appreciate the proposal and discussion, i just do not think this is the direction in which we should be headed, so i will not be supporting this. thank you. supervisor kim: i did want to ask supervisor farrell, regarding supervisor campos' point with the capacity of running a september primary election. supervisor farrell: we have not had discussions with them recently cents the prior debate. the discussions were while it would be more of a burden, it is something that could get accomplished. appreciate all things we do in city hall take more time and effort. i was of the opinion this is worth it. certainly it does not make it easier, if you will. i certainly appreciate those concerns and comments. >> another question i had was the 65%. the way it is currently written, if we have multiple candidates in a primary, but when canada was able to get 65% + one of the votes,

the school system? >> it's really important. our goalo make sure the kids are moving ahead in reading and mathematics. when the state releases the results, we will see how baltimore county is fairing. >> reporter: you are new here. let's talk about our vision or plan. >> baltimore county is a great school system. the two most important goals is making sure we develop our new plan, blue print 2.0, we will develop in collaboration with the community. the second goal is to make sure communication wise we communicate timely, effectively and efficiently. >> reporter: what do you want parents and students to know? >> i'm assessable but i like to listen. i've spoken to parents and students and faculty and staff to figure out what is the story? what are we doing well, what to we need to improve upon? >> reporter: i'm already impressed. u haven't had many superintendents that have come out with me at 6:00 in the morning. welcome dr. dan. once again, the ms a results come out this morning at 9:00 a.m. 3q with lysol kitchen soap, hands are healthy.

the plan has several goals being met with this action today. ne is to implement a provision of the downtown plan that long ago recommended the increase in densities in this area to reflect this is the best and largest transit hub on the west coast. the second goal was to generate revenue for the terminal and downtown extension which this plan does have a very robust way. a third is to provide for this fuel job growth and capacity in this part of downtown where we see tremendous opportunity for growth. fourth, to create a model for a sustainable high-density urban district. it's important to recognize what we are proposing is to create a high-rise district in a part of town that is the core of the high-rise district already. another important factor is the density allows the plant to largely pay for itself. the amenity shall hear about today, the transit improvements, will essentially be paid for as this plan moves forward. i might quickly review several reasons why the department feels strongly this plan is being done at the right time and why w

the goal of going was to get applauded for going. and i think that's what he got for it. gwen: is that the same thing he gets for the incredible pushback today is that the goal of pushing back is to get credit for not being rolled over by the train -- by the obama train? >> i don't think so. i think -- i think a lot of republicans who have been antsy are going to say, finally. we're responding to this. but at the same time, it looks like a panic move. arranging these -- arranging these five interviews as hastily as they did. especially for somebody who's quite resistant to sitting down and doing interviews with anybody who's not fox news. i do think it smacks of second-guessing. i don't want to say panic. because it's july. but i do think there is some concern. and we are seeing it on full display. gwen: alexis, you said they're trying very hard at the white house and now developed this bright line where every time jay carney, the press secretary is asked the question, you need to talk to the campaign. oh, yeah. maybe that works. but is that -- is there a grand strategy in
