i had the opportunity to talk and it focuses on the public health threat of the day that the public is worried about now but i do think it is important to remember 100 years ago these diseases which were common with hundred years ago but are not now. that is because of immunization really a public health accessory of our century but the morbidity and mortality even those that we have less than perfect control like pertussis moms and measles we are still preventing more cases than one century ago which is an incredible achievement. another way to look at it, 1964 able to vaccinate against reasons now for 16 also it is a perfect illustration of ingenuity so on the bench top of the scientific laboratory and then when they go into the arms but this is another way to look at it and it is important we understand there is the opposite with the use of more vaccines that has gone down substantially but i hope we agree it is a worthwhile investment. but it is not enough just to have those vaccines sitting there but it is getting them into those that need it where they can prevent diseases so the

every e-mail a member of the public sends to the m.t.a. board is responded to by secretary boomer who does a fantastic job. we do make ourselves available. we go to as many public meetings as we can. when projects are coming before the m.t.a. board or we're having e-mails from neighbors saying they don't like a project we go out to see first-hand. there's no replacement for eyes on the ground to see what it looks like. >> commissioner: okay. >> again, what the public sees is the tip of the iceberg. as you do, we have incredibly full agendas to keep the meetings moving along and approve the projects to get them on the grouped. -- ground. i will stand by the fact my board makes itself available and we all have full-time jobs. it's a volunteer job and labor of love for all of us and i'm proud of what we achieved on the m.t.a. board and what staff has achieved in the last six to seven years. i will stand by that and stand by my entire board and staff and agency. >> commissioner: i don't need you all to comment on this, i just thought of somethi

the public is not so sure about that. i would say it is worth noting most of the responses to all of these questions, the plurality of responses, has been the number three or don't know kind of category. that is a flag that we need more information here. don't really know how to answer this question. that is an opportunity for making a connection, starting a conversation, answering questions. again,ing on, we see, when you add important and somewhat important responses, overwhelmingly the american public believes is important for the federal government to find international programs on the surveillance and detection of infectious disease outbreaks. this is the kind of work the cdc does. this is a strong statement in support of that incredible government agency. when people were given an opportunity to respond to statement a for statement b in terms of the role of the government and educating -- and people understand when you say the government, you are talking about my tax dollars. know he willwe understand questions like

i'm representing the department of public health. i'm a senior inspector with the environmental health branch, and i oversee the day-to-day operations of the mobile food facility program. we did provide -- i don't know if it's on the overhead, but i'm just placing one of the sides of the brochures that we give out to public kind of describing the mobile food facility classifications just to draw attention as our permitting process to the plan review of the designated carts or trucks or trailers, the minimum requirement of the construction to relate to those classifications. but when an applicant comes in for a permit, i start off the conversation with two primary questions. one being where do they want to vend? sometimes they don't have an idea yet, so we discuss dpw or planning requirements based on where they want to start operating. and a lot of times, they refer them to go to department of public works to initiate the discussion before pursuing a permit with us just to make sure they can lock in the locations that they are hoping

but the public isn't so sure about that. i would also say it's worth noting that most of the responses to all of these questions, the plurality of the responses is in the number three or if you will, don't know kind of category. and that's a flag we need more information. don't really know how to answer this question. that's an opportunity. for make iing a connection. starting a conversation, answering questions. moving on. we see that the american public believes it's important to fund international programs on the surveillance and detection of infectious disease outbreaks. this is the kind of work the cdc does. when people were given an opportunity to respond to statement a or b in terms of the roll of role of government in educating an people understand that when you say the government dwovt, we're talking abts my tax dollars here. we know people understand questions like this that way. many more people say that the federal government should do more to educate the public versus those who believe that the public is sufficie

that's the public platform option. the civic sanction twauary opt there's flexible lawn on the north side of the plaza, there's plexible paved area on the south side where you can have large scale art installations, there's a viewing courtyard on this option that wouldn't be accessible, but it would be there to provide light to brooksall below, and there's kiosks and gardens around the edge. there's lawn panels in the center of the street, so turning it into a green space. and then u.n. plaza, for this pgs on, the existing structure is mostly retained, and the fountain would be restored, but some of the back boulders would be removed. and then finally, the cultural connector, the focus on diversity and culture in this option, an expansive tree canopy, civic center plaza, there's a mirror fountain in the center of the plaza that could be easily drained. there's glades that frame that central space and could be home to a variety of uses such as picnicking, and there's two large pavilions, one side provides access to the g

any comments or questions from the public? hearing none, call the question, all in favor? >> aye. >> any opposed? thank you. the motion carries. just reminding the public and commissioners that items k, l, m, and n have been removed from the agendas so we're now at item o. which is requesting authorization to renew the contract with merced residential care for the provision of emergency bed placement services during the period of july 1, 2018 through june 30, 2019 in the amount of $96,000, plus a 10% contingency for a total contract amount not to exceed $100,500. welcome. >> we are requesting authorization to extend our agreement with merced residential care for one year. the purpose of the contract is to meet our state mandate, to meet urgent clients needs and to provide emergency shelter to older people and adults with disabilities who have experienced abuse, neglect or self-neglect. through this contract, we're able to provide our clientss with a safe environment where they can stay temporarily while a.p.s. works to resolve

this is a copy of the city of tyler, texas' budget summary for the ella reid public library. it shows salaries, supplies, maintenance, and just looking at the amounts let's you know the time frame of -- that we were in. this is actual board minutes from the 1940's from the negro public library board, march 26th 1947 library board meeting and i thought this was an interesting bookmark where it shows how much books cost and magazines cost the library, books, magazines totaled $33 and right here we have the word paper and that says 32.50 and then we have quite a lot of shakespeare. we have king leer and fellow and the books are just precious, the tutor, if you open it up you see the red stamp. these are called pocketbooks, very common at the time and there are several that we have. this lovely little pocketbooks that were lended out in the library and it's wonderful that the library had these. this book that we have right here is titled camille, this is a lovely book from the library and it has some interesting library stamp, but upside side it's property of smith county rural li

the board members will wait until after public comment. thank you very much. the floor is yours. >> just a few comments to put this into context for the board of superrise advise -- supervisors as well. as you probably know by now earlier this year in february -- it was about mid february we started to hear about the controversial roll out of scooters in san diego, santa monica, news stories and then people who were close to the issue either at mta staff or members oh of the public asked us what are you going to do about this. i believe in part because just a year ago we went down a very similar path with stationless bike share. in then collaboration with the mayor we had an establishment permit like the one before the board last tuesday. per your division ii authority you are here to establish the provisions. i have to acknowledge that we were surprised by the fanfare around scooters. i don't think that anybody expected it to grow into such a conversation and such a controversy particularly given how pedestrian -- excuse me -- the stationless bike share legisl

on the other problem is public administration if the authorities only pay me years later but i have to pay my taxes first how many companies have gone bankrupt because of that. we have and that was all a while ago. that was things have improved on the administrative front i still see the problem more. new and often the situation where you have to get people off because you're not getting any more orders and these things happen overnight. but while the general public has to make financial sacrifices members of parliament us still doing just fine. noble employee receives two thousand euros. a public prosecutor three thousand. and a member of parliament i. know why you choose the salaries of ordinary workers or employees disproportionate to those who have m.p.'s . ok maybe they have more expenses but the maximum should be five thousand year or so and that's not all politics also cost a lot. that's why we've waived forty two million euros of reimbursement for election campaign costs but it wasn't just our decision you know it's a lot because of the referendum when the public was asked if w

now there's just the italian public and we need to keep our chins up and united again. we have to take back our rights i know that you know they don't just fall out of the sky get them back one by one. they took our rights and fabius off with what we know any methadone anesthesia what do they want the public to be unconscious. i have the honor to give you the person that made it all possible he said he wrote to me. that day i am here that had. been there for grillo one of the co-founders of the party the crowd gets in the retrospect section. and they said that the days when people shouted to hell with you are over but listen here maybe they are over but our right to shout because when there was silence here when nobody was saying anything we were shouting we never gave up our right to yell you know no you know we'll keep on yelling to hell with you maybe not quite as loud maybe it will be a smaller our own pocket sized to hell with you you know when that you stick to the fridge like a magnet a little to hell with you sticker for your car got me but never forget your firs

this allows members of the public to check out mifi devices. this enhancement of around $91,000 would allow us to grow that program by 170 devices. that would bring the total devices available to the public to 300. this would allow the patrons to check them out much like our physical materials and take them up for up to a three week period and provide connect activity and access to those in need. another key investment in digital strategies is for the modernization of our collections management system, where we would transition to the industry standard of radio frequency identification systems. the goal of this is about improving patron services, so it's allowing them to check out the materials faster but also to help our staff process the materials more quickly, get them back out on the shelves, be responsive to hold requests from our patrons. this was approved by coit in -- earlier this month, and just as a point of clarification or information, about 75% of the bay area libraries already use this technology. our other investments are growing

>> well, i would defer to the office of public finance. i don't know which is the actual constraint, whether it's the -- 3.25% of discretionary revenue, i believe that's more of the active constraint, but you are correct, that the city needs to have an assets to pledge. >> it does not compete with the g.o. bonds against -- >> correct, that's right. the g.o. bonds hit the property tax directly, you see it on your property taxes that you are paying x dollars to fund x bond, by bond. whereas the taxes the general fund bucket that does not appear on the property tax rate. and so the debt payments for the c.o.p. program are competing for all other general fund, and that's why we cap it at 3.25% so we are not going above and beyond and spending all of our revenue on just debt payments. >> ok. page 11, the seawall, earthquake safety program, eligible programs costs. there's an audit report out now on the prebond sale and lack of specificity, and i would venture the capital planning committee plays a role in that. below these programs that are high

but the public is not so sure. to all ofe response these questions, the if you don't know category, that is a flag. we need more information. they don't know how to answer this question. that is an opportunity to make connections, starting conversations, and answering questions. see very important and somewhat important responses. overwhelmingly, the american public believes it is important for the government to fund surveillance of disease outbreaks. statement inong support of that incredible government agency. people were given an opportunity to respond to statement a or b in terms of the people of the government in educating, and people understand you are talking about their tax dollars. people understand questions like this. way more people will say the federal government should do more to educate the public, versus those who believe the public is sufficiently informed. there is more work ahead for the government directly and those who were funded by and work with the government. that peoples to you believe over

she is committed to the public service and community. the carpenter's union and its 36,000 members stand alongside [buzzer] [mic cut out] >> supervisor safai: next speaker. >> i'm janet clyde, a small business owner in the north beach district and i have known gail for over 10 years and watched her develop through her work at community housing partnership and i just can't recommend her highly enough in her position and i guess what i see as a san franciscan is her work with families and her work with children and her work bringing people up and i think when we look at the port and issues around the port and activating the port, i think her knowledge of what's needed and people who aren't at the table. there are a lot of people who aren't at the table and i think gail represents a constituency that really needs to be at the table adjacent to our port, our families, low-income families, seniors and people looking for economic opportunities out there. you know, [buzzer] [mic cut out] >> supervisor safai: thank you, ma'am. next speaker. >> un

public safety. because i needed the clarification as to what is this, i know our public information office has a relationship with your affairs and your education so i know there's a relationship but i am clear that the initiative of that scheduling is from your office, from your side inspector juarez? how does that occur combination of jonathon baxter in terms of when you find these listings of different agencies who determines when to go out and on what schedule? >> we just email and communicate as much as we can. we help each other as much as we can. >> inspector cato, do you want to verbalize, participate? >> recently we have formed the recruitment and outreach committee which we are much better equipped now to work together on these events and reaching the community. >> vice president nakajo: thank you, i appreciate that because i have gone to observe. and there's different components that are there. first of all it's exciting. because the p.i.o. is there. your representation is there but also the recruitment section is there and everybody is visible and what's really exciting about these affairs all th

members of the public may address the commission on items of interest to the public that are within the subject matter jurisdiction of the commission except agenda items. with respect to agenda items, your opportunity to address the commission will be afforded when the item is reached in the meeting. i do have several speaker cards. >> good afternoon. all four of you. yesterday paper, in addition to the wonderful paper of stephen curry coming back to play in that wonderful game the other night was the thing about the report states housing growing, and i thought the numbers were interesting, but i'll leave it for commissioner richards to bring it up when he returns. what i wanted to mention was a year ago on may 4th, actually, you had a d.r. hearing for a project on 24th street up the hill just below market. and that, you took d.r., and you reduced the deck that was off the upper level. it was a horizontal and vertical two story vertical addition turning a two story single-family home into a two unit building. facade change, as well. and it's interesting, last week or

>> at puc, yes, owns the asset and -- >> not public works? >> we are performing the work and responsible for it, but several of our projects are part of a public works contract. for instance, paving or something along those lines. so we join in to avoid disrupting an area multiple times and to share in the instruction management costs. >> the cistern contracts -- >> those were all cistern, and they were all public works contract. >> okay. >> i would like to ask a question, if i may. >> oh, mr. bush has a question. >> i don't know if it goes to you. it's a little bit hart for me to parse which one of you is responsible for which fire stations, what is road work having on the ability to get fire stations out of the trucks and get to where the fires are. >> commissioner, there is a member from the fire department that is here that could respond. >> i know on the embarcadero, it's hard to get anyone from the fire station. >> assistant fire chief anthony rivera. >> are you having problems because of traffic getting out of the faire station and wher

are there any other members of the public that would like to address the commission? seeing then we will close public comment. next item, please. >> item ten is a discussion it item. >> good afternoon commissioners and welcome. i'd like us to go through the monthly activity review report that is before you. just a brief refresher, on the first page, you can see our current assets. we have about 3.4 billion with the plan. moving on to the next page, you can see benchmark performance of our investments, currently. on page 3, we have some participation rate information, as well as employee information as well, that includes a number of folks that are currently contributing, on the number of folks who are retired or terminated. we have approximately 30,000, or 40,000, 38,000, actually, participants in the plan at the moment. moving on to slide four, it shows a stable value crediting rate. we report out on this because the stable value fund is nearly a third of our assets. and so we decided to report on the crediting rate on a quarterly basis. moving on to slide five, we ha

and from those sources, the information came to the public. d of course, the world is very different now. >> this is our first case in this series with warren burger's chief justice. what should people know about him? >> people should know, in the first case, this court that decided this case, there were five of the justices who had been appointed by republicans. chief justice burger had taken over the supreme court, appointed to the supreme court by president nixon, and was a very different person than his predecess predecessor, earl warren. the earl warren court was quite famous for protecting civil liberties and opening new areas of individual rights and so forth. the burger court, chief justice burger, warren burger, who had been from minnesota and had served on the court of appeals for the district of columbia circuit, was very interested in the orderly processing of judicial decisions, the structure of the court, how decisions got made, how state courts worked and that sort of thing. he was a much more businesslike jurist than his predece

minutes of the april 10 meeting? seeing none, public comment is closed. on the consent agenda, a motion? made by commissioner tang, seconded by commissioner sheehy. >> on the consent agenda. cohen aye. fewer aye. kim aye. peskin aye. ronen aye. safai aye. sheehy aye. stefani aye. tang aye. yee aye. the consent agenda is approved. >> supervisor peskin: nexttime. >> item 12 on the update of the valencia street bike plan, information item. >> good morning, commissioners, my name is kimberley and i'm the project manager for the valencia street bikeway improvement project. thank you for having us here today to share our updates on the project. so the project began in february of this year, and for this project we'll be taking a look at safety, curb management and enforcement along the valencia corridor. we're setting the structure from market to mission street. the project will result in a phased implementation plan we'll be bringing forward in the fall and with that plan, we'll have recommendations for the corridor. i wanted to share about

it did not authorize the government to stop publication of a document. it imposed criminal penalties or fines on someone who disclose national security information. the court specifically pointed out in this case that there was no statute that gave the government the power to ask the court to stop the publication of materials. this business about prior restraints is very important. speaking,omeone from or stop someone from publishing, it will not happen. cane are a lot of things i be done. you can take risks by speaking abouting or speaking something. tot 1931 case was an attempt stop the publication of defamatory material. it was an expose by the newspaper. you can stop the publication of defamatory material and the supreme court said, no, you cannot do that. the principle is, if you stop someone from speaking, it will not be heard. .hat is a very, very difficult under the first amendment, which says, congress shall make no law abridging the freedom of the press. >> there was a time when the only thing that the supreme was protected by the first amendmen

understand that, so let's understand going forward, because obviously when we approved this, this was in the public record that we had approved a 10% contingency, and the contractor would have seen that. so i guess in the future, we should understand if you're going to award a contract, are you going to -- so for our knowledge then, if we have two options, then we should know if you're going to include it or you're going to make a modification going forward. >> we include it. we include it at the time of the contract award. we include it in the contingency. it doesn't belong to the contractor. it's a base award, but we write the contract with the additional funding for the contingency should we need to use it. that is the appropriate way to move forward and in general how we execute our contracts. >> okay. well that's -- i guess we're getting educated here than what i always understood in the past. i thought we always put the 10% in the contract. >> we do, and i'm agreeing with you. at the time of the contract award we award the base amount plus the full amount of contingency, so the full amount is

the royal family thanks the public for their support of the royal wedding, after thousands line the streets of windsor to see prince harry and meghan markle. survivors of terror attacks and relatives of victims sign an open letter calling on the public to help stop future atrocities. officials in cuba say 110 people are now known to have died in a plane crash near havana. three women who survived remain in a critical condition. a major overhaul of train timetables begins today, affecting half a million passengers, but unions warn the changes will hit disabled users. now a look back at yesterday's royal wedding. hello from windsor castle. the wonderful spring setting for the royal wedding. it was a beautiful and unique event after many months of anticipation and this proved to be the perfect setting for the moment the very modern royal marriage was formed. we'll be bringing you the highlights of the day of the next half an hour. dermot o'leary, kirsty young and hugh edwards take up the story. haven't the a list is all turned up at the same time? george and amal clooney. you can't estimate th

you are the public. the planning commission should not be fooled around like this, and you should not reciprocate the public. i have to do an analysis of this in writing. i have no time to do it because it would have to be there today. no one can act on this schedule unless you're totally intending to shutdown public input. and if you're going to shutdown public input, you should state so. one of the things that i know is that very few low-income people have computers and have printers and can do the jumping through hoops that you're assuming that everyone can do because they have computers and printers and can understand and have 11 by 17 plans at their computer. people who have got to pay to use computers are poor people. they use libraries, and they have to print out at mission and chinatown and tenderloin libraries. >> president hillis: thank you, sue. all right. thank you. >> so continue this. >> president hillis: all right. any additional public comment on this item? seeing none, we'll close public

they're not working as well as the public thinks. planets nothing on the that should stop these children from attending a trade school versus a traditional college or university. my grandfather used to tell my brother, a real man learns how to make a living by using his hands. ast: i want to give eric chance to talk about trade school education and how charter school graduates are faring in higher education. guest: i do not have an answer one.e second i don't know if there is research on how charter school graduates perform in college versus students who go to a more traditional public school. there is a renewed interest in vocational training. communityoned, colleges are very popular with the public. i think there is a big push to get students to consider, do you need a four-year education for your career goal, or can you go to the community college or technical college and get that six-month certificate, one-year program, or two-year degree to put you on the career path you want? host: elizabeth from pennsylvania. a parent. i, my na

i believe the committee opened public comment on items 1, 2, and 3 after the airport presentation but before taking any action. so now you are taking public comment on item 4 and the additional items on the agenda as you go through the day, bun, -- but 1, 2, and 3 have received public comment. >> supervisor cohen: it's open. maybe i should make a motion to reopen it. >> if there are people that missed the public comment call, committee could reopen public comment and take public comment on 1, 2, and 3 as well as number 4 now. >> supervisor cohen: okay. >> i understood that you did public comment on that department and then went on to the next department and that the action on items 1, 2, and 3 related to the first department that you heard. i certainly would like to make public comment on 1, 2, and 3 and the acting city librarian has just given you an extensive description of what his thoughts are on items 1, 2, and 3. i think that merits public comment, separate from item 4. >> supervisor cohen: back up. so for items 1, 2 and 3, we haven't heard the full -- i'm going to keep it open.

we thank you for your service and we wish you all the best. >> any other public comment? >> also just wanted to echo what brad and diane said, thank you for commissioner katz for her work on the blue greenway and her continued commitment to helping us get that system completed, so thank you very much. >> thank you. is there any other comment? >> commissioners, steven real, project leadership. i really wanted to thank you for your commitment on sea level rise and climate change. you really challenged port staff to fully consider sea level rise and climate change in our projects when leadership was lacking, and i think san francisco and the port have really benefited because think known you a little bit more from his involvement being in the -- in government, but i certainly didn't have a chance until we were on this commission, and i think that i also have gotten to know you personally, and i'm glad to have made another friend, as well, through that. but again, i think there were many areas that you were passionate, and we are a diverse commission. our backgrounds are all d

members of the public, please take the time to silence your phones or other electronic devices. public comment during the meeting is limited to three minutes for speaker. speakers are requested but not required to state arthur names. completion of a speaker card while optional, will help ensure proper spelling of speakers' names in the written record of the meeting. please place speaker cards in the basket to the right of the lectern. speaker cards will be called in the order in which they were placed in the basket. initially there is a sign in sheet on the front table. sfgovt sfgovtv, please show the office of small business live. >> good afternoon. it is the tradition to start each meeting with the small business commission is the o-- should be your first stop when you have questions about what to do next. you can all find us in person or on-line at city hall. best of all, all our services are free of charge. the small business commission is the official public forum to voice your opinions and concerns about policies that affect the economic vitality of small businesses in san

people are trying to figure out how this banking information came into the public domain, we know from the reporting the way that data base of those reports works is that you can tell who looks at what. there's a record when anybody looks at those things, let alone accesses them in the kind of way that presumably would have been necessary to give them to reporters and give them to michael avenatti last week for dissemination to the public. so this person clearly knew they were taking a big risk by doing it, now learning the rationale behind why they took the risk, they thought there was a danger that some important records related to the case were being disappeared potentially for nefarious purposes so the public had to know. it's incredibly human, dramatic and that person is at risk. >> there are hard workers in this story. i'm going to talk to david maury, an extreasury official

the next item. item number one is general public comment. this is an opportunity for anyone who would like to speak on a matter within the jurisdiction but not on the calendar. is there anyone here for public comment? seeing none, we'll move on to item 2. commissioner comments and questions. okay. seeing none, we will move on to item number 3, the adoption of the minutes. before you commissioners, for discussion and possible a deposition are the minutes of may 9, 2018 board meeting. >> are there any corrections or additions. >> so moved. >> moved by commissioner honda. >> okay. commission honda moves to adopt the minutes of may 9th, 2018, board meeting. is there any public comment on that motion? being none, we have a motion from commissioner honda. on that motion, president fung.
