we are requesting removal of the analysis under the new legislation public works code 25 because it is a bit choppy and does not start from the beginning, having to do with the application requirements, and so the analysis could be revised to be more complete and cover that. last, we are requesting a small revision to the language of the decision where it states that we're able to reapply because of this change in legislation, but pursuant to the video, it seemed clear in conversation between the city attorney and vice president garcia that we would be allowed to reapply because there was an error made by the city. so that could be corrected, and it did not relate to the legislation. those are requests. thank you again for listening to them. if you have any questions, i am happy to answer them. >> we can hear from the appellant now. you also have three minutes. >> great. thank you for taking the time. my name is jeff cooper. i'm the appellant in this case. i want to comment on item 3, the protest of the findings mentioned of the supporting power equipment installed across the street fr

we are assuming the project starts this year. we are already under way with much of the virtual causation efforts. the part of technology and health are leading the way in setting the template for the city, where the project might go on this. there are some investments we have to make over the next few years regarding staffing, construction of the new facility at the airport here. and those are the lines you see in fiscal years 11, 12, falls, 13. we are making some capital investments, buying equipment. what we are proposing to do in the short term, and in the long term, to achieve savings in the project, is reduced -- if you look at the bottom under assumptions -- reduced the level of expenditure the city makes every year on the annual replacement of equipment. across the city for technology equipment. rather than continuing the previous cycle of expenditures, we are going to reduce those traditional expenditures of equipment and redirect our efforts to the consolidation sites. around staffing, the entire i.t. community knows in the city, just like

this happens again at the beginning of the process coat before that is even under construction. next, an existing tender notice. this is after the first notices. and existing tenant notice is delivered to any occupant within 60 days of start of construction of any replacement building. fourth, within six months of completion of the replacement building, so now, remember, we have the development phase. korea but the relocation plan notice. we have had a notice that you're a potential tenant before construction starts, and finally, while the construction is proceeding, the developer is required to give all tenants notice that there are replacement is available, and by the way, all copies of these notices are also required to go to the rent board. essentially, what that notice says is, hey, you have the right to relocate into a replacement unit. they give an anticipated relocation date, the numerical seniority of the tenants, so they know how they rank and how long. for plans and an opportunity to visit sample units, and i want to emphasize that if at some point, and existing tenant

walmart employees would be included in the class under b2. the question is not who should be in a position to seek pre sumptive relief. >> mr. boutrous, you have four minutes remaining. >> mr. sellers has made clear that walmart can prevent women from seeking back pay. because of the nature of the claims, discretionary decisions were being implemented in a way that the affected different people differently. the problem, he says, is that the records are not available. he says he will have a proceeding with a district judge. he says the records are an adequate to allow reconstruction of the decisions. that does not comport with due process. it injures the rights of the individual women. >> you do not seriously contend that if the policy or practice work out of discrimination that a woman cannot come in and say, i had a longer history at wal- mart. i had superior job ratings and no criticism of my work and i was not promoted? wouldn't that be enough to show that that policy influenced her lack of selection? and your personnel database has all tha

the dow jones industrial average gained 52 points to close just under 12,506. the nasdaq rose 17 points to close at 2,820. those are some of the day's major stories. now, back to judy. >> woodruff: and to the battle over curbing medicare costs. controlling the cost of medicare has become central to the escalating debate over the federal deficit. >> this is the path to prosperity. >> woodruff: house budget chairman paul ryan rolled out a republican approach two weeks ago as part of his long-term budget proposal. under the ryan plan, medicare would switch to paying fixed amounts to private health insurers, instead of directly to hospitals and doctors beginning in 2022. any increases in payments would be linked to the consumer price index. beneficiaries would bear any costs above what the program provides. but, current medicare beneficiaries would not be affected. president obama laid out an alternate path. it calls for medicare to bargain with pharmaceutical companies to reduce drug costs. and a panel called the independent payment advisory board established under

tests were run to ensure the equipment was in compliance with the ordinance under the permit. >> are there multiple models of that fan that is utilized? >> yes. they were installed with 37-what fans -- 37-watt fans. when we received inquiries about noise, i asked our technician of how we could lower the noise. we had found a different version of the fan that will lower the noise. that change was made at this location, as well as doing software differences. >> it is safe to assume the equipment has since been painted? >> yes. in painting it, it was originally painted brown in order to match the pole. that is why you see the brown box in the photo. we re-evaluated it and thought that a light gray would match better because they fade to gray. >> thank you, commissioners. a couple of corrections to the brief for jurisdiction request. the appellate made some suggestions as it relates to noise in this case. the noise from these facilities are governed under the police code for the newly regulated noise ordinance. this is the first time the department has been informed of an excessive noise

i want to move from how we address the reduction to how the -- how this change is under the spirit there is much less impact under changes to the transaction. there is the development agreement with the various plans attached to that. you have the stand-alone document and the navy conveyance agreement. the only thing that changes is that we cut out the redevelopment plan and replaced that with the authority for the land use requirement. we put the zoning into the land use district. this is just another way of showing that most of the documents do not change. the land-use plan is put into the planning code. the housing plan we of men to account for the 25% of affordable housing and the 30% in the financing plan we change to account for theagain, most o, there will be no change in less where we reference redevelopment. any plan you have seen before, i should note that you can see better. it is in northeast corner of the project.

it captures the experience of being under or over clouds when flying in a plane. depending on the distance or point of view, it can appear clear for more abstract and atmospheric. the subtle colors change gradually depending on the light and the time of day. >> i wanted to create an art work that looks over time as well as working on in the first glance. the first time you come here, you may not see a. but you may be able to see one side over the other. it features a couple of suspended sculptures. each was created out of a series of flat plains run parallel to each other and constructed of steel tubing. >> it is made up of these strata. as the light starts to shift, there is a real sense that there is a dynamism. >> it gives the illusion that this cultures might be fragments of a larger, mysterious mass. >> the environmental artwork livens it with color, light, and the movement. three large woven soldiers are suspended. these are activated by custom air flow program. >> i channeled air flow into each of these forms that makes it move ever so slightly. and it is be

any area plan the city may consider. so under the -- in the e.i.r., we analyze what is the most reasonable projection for how long a project would take, but do try to take into account it could occur over a different period of time. supervisor campos: i think that's part of the problem i have in understanding how complete this analysis is, because to the extent you're saying there's a possibility the length of the project could be 30 years, but the e.i.r. only analyzes up to 20 years, then how complete is the analysis? that's the question. >> again, the length of time we have chosen depends on the topic area, and some of them are shorter and some of them are longer depending on the requirements on the analysis and also our desire to present the most conservative analysis for the impacts that might occur under each topic. supervisor campos: i know my colleagues -- >> i want to repeat something mr. cooper said in his original presentation. by analyzing primarily a 20-year period, if you concentrate construction impacts, whether it'

the u.s. government that i cannot accept those terms because under the rules. we operate under the human rights council of united nations we're supposed to be able to meet with the people we want to meet in without witnesses nevertheless a told through his lawyer told private manning that if he still wanted to see me he was he should ask for me and i'll try and come and see. in the meantime i insisted with the u.s. government that i want to see him without being monitored and now that there's been an announcement of his transfer to fort leavenworth. and the announcement also seems to indicate some change in his regimen that he's subjected to i am hoping that it will be possible to see him in conditions that i can accept. i'm wondering if you think that there's a connection at all between as sort of this increased criticism this increased media attention and the decision to move private manning i mean the pentagon says no but these facilities certainly are much different he will potentially be able to eat with other prisoners to have contacts to see television ev

the region which georgia wanted to bring under its control was raised to the ground.hundreds were killed in the attack. as nearly lost his daughter in sacrifice really as promised she was visiting relatives in one of the counties south of setia i believe scottish we are should be removed from office i think you should be tried in international courts for rule crimes but when it comes to mikhail saakashvili even though the e.u. finding mission determined that he started the war in two thousand and eight and ordered the bloodbath in south of here a georgian president is still supported in the west they have no strategic interest in. supporting his overthrow the notion that decisions get made on the basis of humanitarian concerns is simply false it doesn't it's not the basis for the decision about libya it's not the basis for decisions about georgia about palestine about kosovo a question of who is held responsible and how is very much a strategic question it's not a. legal question as it should be to boost its strategic importance among other things georgia has dispatch

supervisor mirkarimi: that is a night at the fairmont. >> under the law, they can be 36 months, so right there, you have a conflict for how long they will be supervised. it goes back to the governor saying the county has achieved success, reducing the prison population by evidence-based practices, by 6000, so that is how they justify giving a shorter amount of funding. in addition to that, there is the $3,500 supervision fee, and then there would be $2,275 service fee, again to be determined by the plan how the money is spent, but what is designed -- what it is designed to pay for is wraparound services. that could be for drug treatment, and patient, outpatient, electronic monitoring associated with home detention, drug testing, a variety of other services. it could even be for housing, depending upon what their individual rehab plan is. that is why the risk and needs assessment we utilize in this county is so important because the risk and need to identify what basically that plan should be. in addition to that, there is a 10% administrative overhead fee for the total dollars that will

the question we're asking is, under what circumstances is the state -- i don't know if it is 100% or a portion. they were able to make an interesting argument about the fact that it is so big, he arguments they made was that they think they will bring economic uses to the pier that would otherwise not appear in california. you're sort of moving around the chairs. you are changing where the economic growth occurs. we have a better case to make a similar argument. there are things that would not occur but for this action. but the challenge is, whether or not affordable housing is one of those things they will consider to be a high enough priority. i don't know if that answers the question, but what is compelling? president olague: i would like to open it up on this public comment for just this one topic. we will have another public comment period. >> good evening, commissioners. we were formed in 1990 far under the base closure assistance act to create opportunities for homeless people on treasure island. i have had the privilege of working for 16 years to do just that. we have had tho

still the approach under h.r. 910 isn't the right one. there is a middle ground that can be found and that's why i along with my friend and colleague from new york, mr. owens, is offering this amendment, really an amendment in the nature of a substitute today. this amendment would permanently protect farms, small businesses, small and medium-sized stationary sources from greenhouse gas regulation, by codifying the environmental protection agency's tailoring rule. the tailoring rule itself represents a compromise. despite being court ordered to regulate greenhouse gases, the e.p.a. took into account our fragile economy and proposed a nar o'rule that would exempt the vast majority of stationary sources from any regulation. through the rule the e.p.a. takes the appropriate approach to regulate greenhouse gases by only requiring very large new and expanded emitters to seek permits. my friends on the other side of the aisle however believe that the e.p.a. intends to go even further than the tailoring rule and will ultimately implement a tax on

and gas under the clean water act. when they are discharged into publicly-owned treatment and surface water. under both of these laws, states play a leading role. for statements with fully delegated programs, states have the responsibility in making sure the laws are followed. epa provides guidelines to the states on how to follow these rules and to make sure they are addressing all of the threats to public health. the issues surrounding natural gas extraction are lengthy and complicated. by helping manage environmental impact, natural gas production can and will proceed in a responsible manner that producting public health and enhances our options. i'll be happy to take any questions at this time, mr. chairman. >> mr. perciasepe, thank you for your testimony. i agree with the points that you make. there are significant environmental laws that give epa authority to act in this area. i want to just start by, i think there's general agreement in the committee and congress. we want to be able to tap into the natural gas re

the person would have to pick up the rest of the costs under the ryan plan. now i believe we are simply foolish and we are fooling ourselves if we think all seniors will be able to just write a check and pay the difference. they'll just pay the difference and have to absorb more costs. a more likely scenario is seniors will not have medical coverage and question will be sent back in time to when seniors did not have coverage because insurance companies didn't want to cover them. i say to people you can judge a society by how it treats its elderly and its children. the path to ruin plan hurts both populations. you know what i wanted to do is share a story and talk about the ryan plan when it takes us back to 2022, 11 years from now. the average senior would receive an $8,000 voucher to buy insurance. what i wanted to share with you are the years that i spent working in the emergency room. i worked in los angeles county, one of the largest in the united states. and the emergency room is so large that it is divided in sections. one section is called ambulatory c

>> the arab partners who are with us are very clearly operating under the nato aims, under the nato rules, including the nato mission and nato command and nato targeting. and the aim of our contact group is to ensure that, as many of the country's in the region as possible come within the broader political umbrella of support. that is one of the ways in which we show that this is not the west, if you like, trying to impose a solution on libya. but this is a broader coalition of nations that sees that there is a people who want to be free, being brutally suppressed and the international community responding accordingly. i think it's one of the great achievements in libya that we have kept so many of the arab countries with us and that so many have been willing to become part and attend the contact group. >> are we at risk of a stalemate between the libyan government and the opposition forces, and what more do you think nato can do within the current mandate to make sure that we don't end up with a constant stalemate and no one actually achieving a major amount of power. >> as i have alread

told from the premise depart from the premise that all governments have to live up to the obligations under international law just one more question for you i know that in the past you have called for the united states to investigate and prosecute torture committed under the former president george w. bush and a lot of people seem to say you know it's in the past let's not reopen old wounds it will get in the way of you know national unity it was maybe make our reputation abroad much worse based on what comes out of that well how do you respond to that well the torture convention international law more generally makes it an obligation of the state to investigate and prosecute every single act of torture in that case in that sense torture is different torture is a special case of human rights for they should he win a single episode of torture hillis is the obligation of the state to investigate prosecute and punish obviously punish if there's merit to pony. so i have repeatedly called not only the united states government but every other government to live up to that obligation. i don't thin

the city. none of that carry any weight with at&t, nor would it under their current proposal. after an arduous fight, i was able to get at&t to help pay for friends of the urban forest to install trees to mitigate its ugliness. when i leave my house, i appreciate those trees. but the box is still there and still ugly. i am impacted by that every time i pass it. or the one on castro and 15th, or the one on castro and market. the last one, i wonder why we spend so much money getting the city to replace the ugly newspaper boxes. i cannot tell you how many times i have called 311 to get, in the city to paint over graffiti on that one box. yes, we want technology and competition, but not at the expense of losing the beauty and accessibility of our neighborhood. i believe there are feasible solutions to the technological challenges. please require an environmental review so that at&t will be forced to find them and we will not be stuck with the first inning long line of degradations of our streetscape. thank you. >> my name is karen croney. i want to address one small item. i want to

the president's budget phrarpbgs under the c.b.o. aseline and under the republican position, individual income tax revenues as a percentage of g.d.p. are going up. taxes revenues are already going up, and they are not getting us where we need to be as a nation. yet, in his remarks today the president's landmark proposal is little more than tax increases. i suppose we shouldn't be surprised. when the drudge report announced yesterday that the president was going to announce tax increases, it did not even merit a flashing red light. drudge pushed it to the side because it is really no longer news to anyone that democrats want to raise taxes. the real news would have been if the president stuck to his political base and made meaningful recommendations for entitlement reform. the people of utah and taxpayers around the country would have stopped and listen if the president announced a serious rollback of domestic non-defense discretionary spending which has exploded on his waufplt instead they got the -- on his watch. instead they got the

this is the budget outlook under the tjpa budget policy. we do the fiscal year budget in a three-step process. we bring you the outlook, which is sort of a broad overview narrative. in may, we will bring you a draft budget. in june, we will bring you the final budget. we are really managing this project under the baseline budget that you have approved. the 1.589. the fiscal year budget is really just a slice of that capital budget. each year, we aggressively estimate expenditures and bring to you what we believe is our best estimates of the slice of the overall capital project, but because we are funded by grants and those grants do not expire, if we were to excel expenditures, construction was occurring ahead of schedule, we could always of men the fiscal year budget to bring things forward as long as we are within our overall capital budget. as in years past, this fiscal year budget will look very much like previous fiscal year budgets, other than, of course, the construction line items will be much greater. the major expenditure categori

you don't have the ability to force an agency to do something. your role under the charter is to identify what is happening and report on what is happening. i think that is where this committee can play a role in at least airing out what is going on are not going on so that the public knows that. i would like to maybe work with the controller's office to figure out how that looks on a periodic basis. you can report on a number of reports to see where that implementation is as a way of making sure we maximize the use of the work you have done. supervisor chiu: i have a specific question on exactly where we are on the mta. what i continue to hear is there is so much of the tdp that has not been implemented. maybe for the public, just a 32nd on what the tep is. >> that was a joint project initiated with the mta problem about four years ago. it was the first comprehensive review of the punctuality of mass transit in san francisco since the 1970's, a line by line review, ways to speed the system, a comprehensive look at the transit side of the mta. the initial report

the department of health is under way with a study to consolidate. we anticipate the consolidation equipment, fewer pieces, not only under way, but will be done in the next 18 months. really, the physical relocation of the equipment is pending on the final construction of the new facility at airports. the construction will not be completed for another 12 to 14 months. while we will be virtual laws in place, we will not be able to physically relocate until that space is available to us. to supervisor chiu's point, we are trying to relive it things from not ideal situations into a real data center, so we need to wait until that space is available. supervisor chu: thank you, supervisor kim. i would like to go back on the expected savings. i would like you to finish your presentation first. >> i will not spend any more time on the timeline. i would like to talk, in summary -- i think i have been most of the high points. we are asking you to endorse data center consolidation plans and the release of reserved for two reasons. one, i think the data center co
