and then you you're told by the state water board, it must be peer reviewed. t would really not make the commission look good. these negotiations have been on going for about eight, pushing nine years. it's critical. we urge to you amend the resolution and say that while these negotiations move forward, the state board still move forward with its existing process in that delay. that's the second point. let's avoid further delay. the current standards in the ecosystem were adopted a quarter of a century ago and we're facing extinctions. it's critical we avoid further delay. third and finally, one of our concerns in the voluntary settlement agreement is not so much in your section but other sections of voluntary settlement agreement, there's very extensive and deeply troubling double-counting of both water and habitat. frankly it raises real questions about whether the voluntary settlement agreement is a real package or smoke and mirrors. we've been raising that issue. that is not going to change until water users themselves in this process say, we need to scrub

and the state water board went down a particular process. they got certain results and went a particular way. the model that we're talking about that department of fish and wildlife used is a different model entirely that looks at a different picture. truth is in the middle of all these things over time but when one advocates, one tends to knock pretty hard at the other side. i try to make sure that we stay in an even keel in the middle that we're doing the best we can. we do stand behind it. science doesn't get resolved. it gets resolved when the science is used to make policy decision and we move on in life. >> or it gets resolved with history looking backwards. seems to me that this is a huge bone of contention, that if we could get that worked through a little bit better, perhaps the solutions would be more evident. maybe that's impossible. >> i think we're at a point in time that we're wanting to sit down and negotiate, you know. because trying to determine what science is the best science is, you know, we will continue to argue that. so

we have the state board has done what the state board has done. we have done what we have done. our position on the state board's plan is clear and nothing in this resolution changes that. and i think what we need to focus on is that we are here today and we have issues in front of us in dealing with how we make actions or requirements imposed by the state board more consistent within the needs of our constituents in this community as well as meeting the needs of the fishery. i think that what we have did not doing is appropriately focusing on that forward-looking aspect of it and giving direction to staff and expression to the rest of the world how we want to approach that future. final comment is that there is a tricky issue that we need to figure out how to talk about. between the over all delta goals and the tuolumne goals, it's important that what we control and what we should be held accountable is what happens on the tuolumne. we really don't have control over what the rest of the state does. what fish and game does about permitting aggressive fishing for in vase i havfor

that is one of the reserve powers of the board because the charter doesn't actually speak to whether the board of supervisors can set the city's position on state legislation, but because of the reserve authority of the policymaking of the city the board has that power. the board adopts that with resolution without reference calendar at board meetings. because and possibly because it was difficult for the board over the years to take positions on -- by resolution on every piece of state legislation, a number of years ago, the board adopted an ordinance creating the state legislation commit d committee d delegated the power to take positions on behalf of the city on matters pending before the legislature. the state legislation committee which as supervisor peskin says is subject to the brown act and sunshine ordinance holds public meetings to discuss and take positions on behalf of the city on pending bills. if the state legislation committee takes a position on a bill or doesn't, the board can always adopt an ordinance. i am sorry, a resolution taking a position on a piece of legislation, and the board's say is the final say for the city. any r

the state board also adopted that and in the legislature the congress and state adopted that. that's a healthy metric that's been around 30 years at this point. it doesn't use the word sustainability but it's also more specific. i'll leave it there. thanks. >> i would just like to speak briefly to the state doubling. i've been trying to get my head around that through the whole conversation. the reason i fell away from that and didn't really like that is because i think there's a lot of questions out there on which baseline you're using. if there's only 2,000 now, i would not be okay with 4,000. so i think the state has some of the same questions. which is why i think leaving it slightly open with a directive from this commission to come up with bold goals and specific objectives around what it's going to take to create a healthy fishery may in the end up being a better goal or outcome at the end of the day than the doubling. i just wanted to respond to that because the doubling one is a tricky one. and i do know that's in the state law right now and a wouldn't be surprised if

california senator nancy skinner gives the reasons for her call to action to the alameda county board of supervisors. the state leader represents the east bay and is requesting the board approved an independent performance and financial audit of the sheriff's office. >> the public desires that we use their taxpayer dollars in the most appropriate and efficient and effective way possible. and that does not include in custody deaths. >> reporter: her february letter to the board mentions troubling reports, which include in 2 investigates story from november when our cameras went inside santa rita jail after we uncovered dozens of accusations of inmate mistreatment and gender discrimination. one of the accusers was candace still. >> i was eight months pregnant and about to pop. >> reporter: officials say the doctors misdiagnosed her labor when she was in custody. she says deputies ignored her labor pain and put her in an isolation cell as punishment where she was forced to give birth. >> deputy opens the door and i am standing there in a puddle of my own blood with my baby in my arms. and all the deputy could say

so that the state water board's action was direct its staff to assist the california natural resourcesin completing a watershed wide agreement including potential flow and non-flow measures no later than march 1, a date coming soon upon us. incorporate those above agreement as an all tern -- the goal of the update presented for the state water board for consideration as early as possible after december 1 of this year. at the last meeting i presented more details on the actual elements of the river proposed 15-year voluntary agreement so i just include them in this in summary form. a set of functional flows linked to non-flow actions depending on water year type. non-flow habitat improvement actions to be implemented with $76 million of capital expenditures. water development products, additional water for the river. early implementation of experimental flow and non-flow measures in the voluntary agreement with the irrigation districts and im-- the function of the elements of the agreement. a complete package to try to make sure we're moving forward in the best way we can for the resour

rand never responded to us, but we learned his license has been inactive since 2009, when the state board brought unrelated disciplinary action against him for unprofessional conduct, gross negligence, and dishonesty. the board placed him on five years' probation. he appealed in 2012 but was denied. records show his license remains inactive, but because family bridges operates as an educational not psychological workshop we found it is not under any state oversight. sam: these programs, the way they are right now, do not work. vicky: we reached out to family courts in all nine bay area counties. we wanted to find out whether they send children to these programs and how they track the outcomes. couy d. three counties told us they have not ordered children into these programs. five counties, though, told us they don't track this information at all. leo: you should never be forced to be put in one of these programs. it's a court system that needs to rethink their strategies. vicky: none of the judges involved would speak to us about these cases. linda gottlieb: it's anti-instinctual to rejec
