but for a world-class city to have this status is one of the best cities to ever live in.n and to visit. you got to have a police force that rises to world-class standards. and the san francisco police department is in fact world-class standard. tonight with the recognition of the medals of valor, we continue, i think, a very important culture. a culture that is measured by the performance of its officers and those who tonight exceed that standard in every way. and you know it's kind of hard for me to get know everyone of 2,000 officers that work in our police department. i do see the results though. and i don't think we could have landed the bid for the super bowl hosting l without a world class police department. we could not have landed the americus cup in san francisco without the best police department in the country. we could not have landed so many of these world-class events and continue the pride of being one of the faster recovering cities in all of our country without a good police force. so i made it a point tonight to come here and let you know that i may not

this city is feeling boston strong this morning. as i said, the red sox they are the world champions for the third time since 2004 knocking off the st. louis cardinals. it took six games. the victory was 6-1 last night and it was pretty, pretty decisive. boston fans have not seen the red sox clenched the world series since 1918 when they had babe ruth on their team. you see koji uehara celebrating with his teammates there. i mentioned 1918 the last time the boston red sox won the world series but not the date most people are thinking about in boston but april, the boston marathon bombings and everything that happened then and that journey from then to now has simply been amazing. >> reporter: victory at home, at last. absolutely jubilation flooding the streets. red sox nation celebrating their world series team win against the st. louis cardinals. >> this is what boston strong means! >> nothing defines boston than this moment right here. >> reporter: the excitement reaching a fever pitch. >> absolutely amazing game. red sox three ti

are going in terms of our approach towards nightlife and what it means for the cultural essence of this citywe are seeing nightlife more and more under pressure for a variety of reasons and city hall in my view and my city government still takes an over reactive view towards nightlife instead of a more balanced view. we know historically what it's meant for our community for young people, four music lovers, for people in the lgbt community. we are at a crossroads and we have to make a choice whether we want to be a city that continues to attract young people here, whether we want to be a city that wants to continue to attract the creative class here, creative whether they are raiders or tech folks. the reason why so many people come is because we have those cultural resources including nightlife. if we continue on the path where we are which is to put continuing pressure on that and making it more harder and more complicated and more expensive for anyone to offer nightlife to our city, we are going to suffer in the long run and we'll become a beautiful and very quiet city and very peaceful f

mistakingly represents this as something that they are being taken away from their duties. it is part of their duty and any city employee who is asked for a record is a requirement and part of their job duties to provide a job response. and putting this in a report saying that they are taken away from the regular duties it is simply a ploy and the record request to something and it is a legitimate legal request from a citizen of san francisco. and the control and the supervision or a record and not getting it. and it is my own experience after chasing him for two solid years and going through the city attorney's office and a petition that the supervisor of records to continue to records and those were the very records used to find him in violation of the regulations. and i did not blame him. and i would lie about the existence which he did. and i even denied, answering whether they did exist or not, when they responded or the company requestor had a legal document saying that you should have it signed by the respondent. >> agenda item 6, items for future meetings, do the commissioners have any suggestions as to

cities part of the success. it's by each of you in this room to keep invest in our city in businesses and innovative ideas. but also investing in our schools and in our community and in our neighborhoods and most importantly most importantly in our people. in particularly our young people. san francisco is the greater city in the world because we're deprives and innovative but we cannot be successful unless we work together on our critical challenges so i ask you to work with me help save city college. help us rebuild and reanything else our public housing no more poverty housing. help us invest in our schools with better education for our children and continue to help our young people. for those of you who helped in our summer programs just two days ago we had a goal of 6 thousand not only did we get it done but we created and gave out and established 6 thousand 2 hundred jobs for our kids that's reach. now let me give you fair warning now that we've met our goal public-private partnerships like summer jobs plus is the way that our city s

is the first company i visit in this city and carl thank you. and the carl bishop group is very important working with our chamber of commerce and the other nonprofit. a simple answer is jobs. the reason i'm working on immigration reform. i used to be a civil rights attorney and helped folks to 0 reunite with their families. but at the time the direction connect to the history of the city being a city of immigrants 35 percent of all the small businesses in san francisco was owned by an immigrant. our whole history this city's been built on good immigrants who found ideas and employed others. and today that story has not changed. i think that the businesses in succeed if we have good sound business policies but we make sure there's comprehensive immigration reform. because we've he learned over the years is that there are millions of people in the state of california and undocumented folks in san francisco that are not part of our official economy that are hiding. because of fear that will not participate in health prevention because of fear. bec

. >> reporter: this city is indonesia's second largest city, with 3 million people. its economy and population is growing rapidly. so is the amount of trash. and that's creating a problem. this is the only disposal site in the city. 1500 tons of garbage is dumped at the site every day. at this rate, the site you will be full in a few years. as the city searches for ways to handle all the trash, a waste recycling company from western japan has started operating here in march. workers efficiently sort recyclable waste like plastic and metal and items for composting. as a result, the amount of garbage dumped has dropped by 50%. new jobs have been created as well. this man is a sales representative for the recycling company. he says the indonesian waste and recycling market offers great business opportunities. >> translator: all waste used to be buried on site. in japan a lot of it would have been recycled. now the recycling gets done and locals earn money. there are many business opportunities here. >> reporter: the city government also supports the company's expansion.

you don't have to be a tech company this is the philanthropy and the spirit of innovate by being a great store and partnering up with the rest of the city. this has been an under utilized space and a match the visibilitycy along the corridor and with the employment we're seeing with the local resident is incredible. i have to say to the store management i picked a local girl because she's demonstrated her ability to recognize community and i like to see our residents top the leadership roles. by the way, i understand that she does a chinese new years eve with her dad so we'll be able to do martial arts (laughter) >> i'm so glad to be here with the celebration of the second-story of target opening up but with the hiring that's sensitive to what we all inside to see. it's my pleasure to give a proclamation i know the board will join me to saying in the the west target day in san francisco (clapping) >> (barking). >> go bullseye. >> thank you very much. >> thank you so much. thank you so much mayor it's such a pleasure to have you here tonight we want to thank you for your vision and leadership. next (clapping) next i'd like to introduce t

in this state with some of financial challenges like the cityf the joy and detroit is one, serious financial challenges, there is no emergency management implemented. if any governor in this country, let's pick a southern state like alabama or mississippi or georgia, would have the nerve to go to a predominantly african-american city that was in the heart of the civil rights movement and disenfranchise the majority of the population that we would think it is just ok, there are financial problems and they need someone to coming, we would be up in arms as a nation and we would be highly offended where we should be. >> no question what is happening in this state is disproportionately affecting the african-american voters and is hard not to feel a sense of disenfranchisement. i will not pretend to read the governor's motives, but you have to look at the effect which is disturbing. what is disturbing is the complete failure of the emergency managers in the history. if you look at what happened, hal in part been through it over and over, when you dise

process to be a part of moving this process forward, be a part of the city through puc or we want to look at contracting this out with another entity that could help us effectively move this forward based on the exactly intense of the project and what we need outside of puc's jurisdiction, outside of pg & e's oversight so we are able to really move this thing forward. so, i just wanted to put that out there because i don't know if we are going to get anywhere. i mean, miss hale has been given a direction from the director to look at local build out which we appreciate, but does that move us forward. and is that moving us forward in a more timely manner. we started this process way back in 2007, we've been doing a lot of work for this program. there has been a lot of support for this program and we are at a crossroads here. i think we need to make a decision or think about doing something more extreme than just an allowing the same plays with the same process and doing the same thing and getting the same results of no rates being set or agreed to. so i do thi

this question goes to benny and mike as well. you look at the cities that have come under emergency management. critics have said that race is at the center of all of this. we have seen activists and leaders who have come out and cities were not african-american, it would be difficult to see how this administration could take over the cities. do you share this opinion, that race is a part of the agenda? know that we stand here today and discussed this issue -- 50% of the people in the state who look like you and i have been disenfranchised by the state. there are other cities in the financialhave similar challenges as the city of detroit. yet there has been no emergency manager put there. can you imagine if any governor -- take a southern state like alabama, mississippi, or georgia -- would have the nerve to go the a city that was at heart of the civil rights movement and disenfranchised the population? be up inhat we would arms as a nation and we would be highly offended, as well we should be. it is a question of democracy. that hasis no question what

now the people of boston can say in unison, this is our city. this is our team. this is our championship. you know, my favorite quote from last came from jonny gomes. what he says, we didn't put the city on our shoulders, the city put us on their shoulders. just the kind of team and just the kind of night it really has been here. chris? >> john, you know all too well. you're from there and you stad there after the horrible things that happened at the bombing. you knew how much this city needed this and boy did they deliver. a beautiful moment. enjoy it my friend. red sox nation, well represented on "new day" this morning. we have j.b. he had no red on by the way. think about that. we have the other member. >> oh, really? >> see that face. >> strong with berman on halloween. i like it. john king standing next to him. also boston strong. how about berman flexing the pecks on me on national television. i respect it. >> what do you think of that. >> i'll like it. we'll let it go. you deserve it. take it there. john king, john berman, the three of us stood there in bo

they knew them all. >> let's talk about this city and how this impacted the city.id this city is going to explode after they win and cars will be turned. we are walking back last night going-over the bridge. it's jam packed and suddenly everybody on the street start applauding. they start cheering and you turn to your left and you see a line of cops walking up the street. >> where they pitched the kid that friday night. same reaction. >> is that unbelievable that this is without even thinking in the midst of celebrating the first series championship since 1918, they stop in celebration and everybody turns and looks at the cops walking across the bridge and stops and stares and applauds. it's unbelievable. >> i still think like i said we go down these cliches and the city is still healing. that's true. there dozens of people that are still doing out patient care and physical therapy. anybody that lives around here, i think i knew six or seven people that were wounded in the bombing. i know dozens of first responders. cops and firefighters who were traumatized by wha

as this board knows well i have always supported city schools and never think this is a bad expenditure of our dollars. san francisco has made an incredible front in the last several years to increase access to the programs and increase the quality of the programs citywide. the citywide collaboration is known in expanding known in collaborative and lead by dcyf. in terms of active collectively we have 70 percent of k through 8 children want to enroll in one. as though this is a much higher percentage, we would like to see more access. project k through fund has been an important program and we would like to see this improve. i'm proud to have served on the first year of the prop age fund advisory committee that helps guide originally how it's allocated the first $10 million for the 55,000 students whether it was on libraries, arts, sports, bathrooms, and many other needs that our schools have. when you visit our schools which i know many of you do and i did every would elk that i served on the school board, you see what these dollars do for the children. one of the primary issues that i

is this city a magnet for some type of personalities or why? >> when i started working at st. elizabeth back in 1985, we saw archived articles talking about this phenomenon 50 years before that back in the '20s around '30s. this is a well-known phenomenon that applies to a few other cities that have religious significance around the world. >> what other world? >> one is jerusalem, there is a psychiatric term called jerusalem, because of the religious symbolic importance. think of it this way joie, if you are as a individual having psychotic dilutions or psychotic symptoms where you can't really understand exactly what's going on and you know other people aren't experiencing this, you sit back and think to yourself what's going on here? now if your dilution is of a religious bent you might go to jerusalem or rome or mecca. however if you have a more temporal view of things, you know, you would come to washington, d.c, the seat of power in the world. so nobody comes to the white house or the capitol, just by happenstance. everybody comes with a purpose. most people come there bec
