from time to time i keep in touch with them, so that they know what is happening in the community. now, the first measure that you supervisors should take that ties into the pensions and all that the supervisors sitting next to you, really involved in, is this. after management should be evaluated, yearly. those results must be put in the internet. anyone making over $100,000, we need to know their performance evaluation. and the comptroller's office should set up some preliminary standards. we have too many people making $150,000, $175,000, $200,000, while impacting our budget. the final analysis it is quality of life issues -- [tone] thank you for the two minutes. supervisor avalos: thank you. next speaker, please? seeing no one, we will close public comment. this item will be continued to the call of the chair, taken without objection. madam clerk, please call the next item >> item #9. -- please call the next item. >> item #9. hearing to receive an overview from the controller's office on the municipal transportation authority's transit effectiveness project and an update on sta

i have a short amount of time. "career employees were ordered to provide secretary janet napolitano's political staff with information about people who asked for records, such as where they live, whether they were private citizens or reporters, and the organizations were they worked." true or false? >> this is a process since 2006 to provide awareness into significant issues that may be going into the public domain. >> "two exceptions require white house review -- spending under the $862 billion stimulus law and the calendars for cabinet members." is that correct? >> anything that has white house equities requires white house review. >> white house equity, what does that mean? >> to the extent the secretary was in the white house, disclosing some sort of the element, this is a typical process of referring foia requests to different departments. that is a standard process. >> "under the e hundred $62 billion stimulus," was that part of it -- under the $862 billion stimulus," was that part of it? is that correct? >>

there is not enough time allotted for the driver to actually get to time point. for example, we have time points to out our route. six minutes to get from 20 commission to 30th in mission, ok? -- 20th and mission to 30th and mission. if you have wheelchairs' or a lot of elderly people, which you do on commission, it really slows things down. the next thing you know, you are 10 minutes down, and it is a fact of doing business. i mean, if i have an elderly person get on the coach, i have to not just wait for them to get on, i have to wait for them to get seeds, and that is the only safe and reasonable thing to do, so i would suggest making the schedule a more reasonable and allowing more time for the drivers to make their runs and get more recovery time at the end of the run, at the end of a run, the driver can get out of the coach and use the restroom and get back on the coach. switchbacks are a very big issue. they are a confusing issue. it is like attaching the same two wires. it is something that you're never going to be able to get away from. supervisor avalos

all right it's time for tonight's tool time award and this evening it goes to oklahoma republican senator jim inhofe and the g.o.p. senator is a firm believer that global warming is just a hoax he's perpetrated or that he thinks it's perpetrated by evil scientists who are trying to destroy american business i also happens to be a major supporter of oil and natural gas drilling here in the u.s. so during an appearance on fox news host brian kilmeade radio show this week he spoke about hydraulic fracturing that's a method of extracting natural gas which is known as fracking and take a listen to his comments. one. that grew water could get would asian. perjury short of it we get. you could not get what you preach. interesting comments senator inhofe there's never been one documented case of contaminated ground water from fracking i beg to differ just this week there was an accident at a natural gas well in pennsylvania thousands of gallons of water filled with chemicals ran into a nearby street and seven families in the area had to be evacuated the company doing the drilling has now stopped

time? >> it also depends upon how the sheriff's implements the program because they are staying there for a period of time anyway. what is going to happen is that the time that they would be transported out, go through the processing and come back, that is the time, but the sheriff's office could implement additional electronic monitoring, alternative sentencing programs, residential drug treatment, outpatient, all of those that are authorized under this law. while we have the population, we would not necessarily need to have the population in custody in a traditional jail setting, and that is where the sheriff would look to the population. when we get our probationers back, we will look at the severity, what their risk and need level is, and prepare a case plan based upon that. that is something similar to talk about, but the law authorizes a significant number of alternative sentencing programs, even beyond the ones the sheriff already uses a lot, but it gives a broader authority. supervi

how do you spend your time? sit around reading scripts all the time?> i know it looks glamorous because i work with glamorous people but most of the time i'm in an editing room, just me and another guy and i miss cigarettes for especially those occasions. i haven't smoked in five years, i used to love smoke-filled editing rooms. it's a lot of lonely time watching celluloid go round and round and trying to figure out how to make the movies better than you shot it. or watching old movies. i love turner classic movies because it's an education to watch and film and say, that's how he did it, that's how he lit that scene. things i'm always cans tonightly learning all the time. tavis: the next question that i have to ask, you must know. do you want to answer it? >> no, i don't know. tavis: why stop smoking? how did you kick it? >> i read a book by dr. allen karr, it was about how he quit smoking. it was unlike anything i had ever read. his premise was you're a jerk for smoking, and you have no control whatsoever and anybody who smoked was not cool, they wer

during peak time, or non-peak time, and have that data provided to us. it was not quite as broken down as i would have liked it yesterday. that is all. thank you. supervisor chiu: colleagues, today, and i am introducing a drafting requests related to our payroll tax and stock options. as we all know, there was a recent control report that identified our city's practice of taxing stock options as a factor for why certain businesses consider locating outside of san francisco. as someone who helped to found a technology company in my previous life, and i think we have all heard from previous tech leaders about how our treatment of stock options could lead companies to leave san francisco. penalizing the possibility of success, as we know, is not smart economic policy. on the other hand, stock options are given by many companies, mature companies as well as startups, as typical compensation. at a time of challenge revenues, we need to be careful in how we reduce taxes, simply because a company simply chooses to compensate employees with options. i have conve

we didn't know it at the time. it was, there was people at that time that called it the end of an era and for a lot of the artists that were involved in this project they were like spokes in a wheel that made up this music that we were inspired by. people that represented new orleans, people that represented chicago blues and british blues and tin pan ally and on and on and on. so to be able to gather this much musicality in bun evening was a feet unknown to mankind at the time. and then for us to play with everybody and go from dr. john to joanie mitchell in the blink of an eye, it was, i don't know, guinness book of records should have been in on this one. >> if those persons who referred to this as an end of something, if they're right, to your mind it was the end of what? what was it the end of? >> i think that there was a thing that happened in the 60's where there was a unity in this nation, in north america that the voice, the spirit of the youth were so connected and the music really became the voice of tha

those were heavily one time or time-limited temporary solutions that have expired. supervisor chiu: your thoughts on the one time solutions, it is tempting to go with onetime solutions. what sort of policies have we thought about to push us toward ongoing legislation? >> the city has adopted a number of changes that are designed to bring revenues and expenditures into line of for a long time and we are in the process of executing these. iproposition a, the reserve policy that will serve to set aside money in future years. the mayor will be presenting a five-year financial plan to the board of supervisors next month, which is one of the provisions in that measure, designed to focus on the city's finances long-term. this time next year, for the first time, the city will be preparing a two-year budget, which requires us to have the discipline to a balanced two years at once, to be mindful of the implications in the second year. supervisor chiu: are you planning to use 50/50, though, or will that change? >> the answer to that is going to depend largely on what policy ch

time now 5:14. republican leader from orange county is apologizing now for sending out a controversial e- mail. one that shows president obama's face on the body of a baby chimpanzee. the text reads and i'm quoting now "now you know why there's no birth certificate." last night tea party activist marilyn davenport issued a formal apology saying the e- mail was nothing more than a joke. the california naacp is still demanding her resignation. >>> arizona's governor has taken action on a bill that tied to the rumors that president obama was not born in the united states. arizona governor jan brewer vetoed arizona's so-called birther bill. it would have required presidential candidates to provide documented proof of their citizenship. opponents have warned the birther bill would be a black eye for arizona. a dozen other states are considering similar legislation. >>> today president obama will begin a tour to promote his plan to take on the country's debt. ktvu's allison burns joins us now from our was

we can revisit it at a later time on a later date. thank you for your time. supervisor chu: thank you. next speaker please. >> good afternoon, members of the board. i am with seiu 1021 as a field representative. one of the reasons i'm here is to support the fee on non- residents. our union has worked hard to scratch revenue from different areas. millions of dollars have been given by our members to help the city on hard times. the city is facing another hard time this year, and it just makes sense to continue with a fee for non-residents. therefore, we are asking you to consider and support the extension of the fee. thank you. supervisor chu: thank you. >> good afternoon, supervisors. catherine howard, golden gate park preservation alliance. i love the arboretum. i was a member, and as a landscape architecture student, i in turn there, but i oppose the fee. it is part of a short-sighted policy of monetizing our parks. because of this, the people of san francisco are losing golden gate park. first, the teagarden was closed. then the conservatory of flowers. if

well there are a lot of things going on if you look at the super long time period like since the time of the dinosaurs we've actually been on a cooling trajectory and no one's quite sure why that is that greenhouse gases used to be a lot more abundant than they are now in the last two to three million years it's gotten cool enough now that the polar regions are permanently covered with ice which they didn't used to be and in this new kind of a beginning of an ice house state you could say small changes in the way the earth moves around the sun and relative to the sun actually make natural cycles where you bring slight warming or slight cooling to the key polar areas where the ice sheets began and where they start to melt. and so basically you know all you have to do to make an ice age come and go is that you cool down the summers a little bit in the arctic areas of northern canada let's say and more snow falls in the winter than can melt in the summer so it builds up over time and if you give it enough time you build up a giant ice sheet that flows under its own weight and buries plac

>> it depends on the time. during midterm elections, all the time. i have noticed over the past couple of years that it has increased greatly in terms of government's role in things. that is partly because of the financial crisis. government has stepped up its role in various industries, not just the financial industry, so therefore we do talk about the government. do we need to talk to a congressperson about the impact of his bill? probably not. if we can bring on an analyst or investor who specializes in that area, yes. i try not to have politicians on because i find that the conversation is very one way. they have an agenda. that is fine, but bring it to another station or another show. >> there is more action in that last clip than there is on c- span in a month. we started 32 years ago when television was much different. now you get the music and that different screens coming in. when did that start, and why? >> i think it is the expectation that information is not dry and that you can have good information and be entertaining as well. the fact

[ laughter ] good morning everybody. traffic doing well. just to give me a little bit of an out just in case i don't know something right now. let's go out and see on 80 westbound what we're seeing westbound 80 traffic looks good heading to the macarthur maze. traffic also good at the bay bridge toll plaza westbound. we keep monitoring the conditions all over the bay area. we don't have a lot going on when it comes to stalled vehicles or collisions out there. traffic is okay on the south bay commute northbound 280 traffic is moving well. and the traffic is looking good. there is a closure on the onramp leading to dublin boulevard. that exit is also shut down because of police activity. and going to continue to hear more about that throughout the morning. at 5:10 let's go to steve. >>> sal, thank you, sir. we have a change today. it will be cooler and breez

we're going to have failings from time to time.it doesn't make you a failure unless you choose not to learn the lesson of whatever that failing was. if you learn the lesson, you can fail your way through it. >> but failure can be the error that the third baseman makes, he failed to pick up the ball and a man reached first, as opposed to being a poor kid and the only black one in the neighborhood. that's not a failure. >> but babe ruth once said, every strike gets me closer to the next hr. next home run. that's how i see life. every strike you make gets you closer to the next home run. >> how important to you, then, is god? tavis: supreme. >> you totally believe there's someone watching. tavis: absolutely. i have a whole chapter, the last chapter is called "father knows best." somebody once said that we plan and god laughs. i've had so many plans for my own life that didn't go the way i thought they would go. i've learned over the course of the years that sometimes a dead end is a finish line and sometimes rejection is redirection.

sunny today but windy at times. a brisk chilly morning with a northerly breeze. 67 is always a tough pattern. usually in this pattern that north wind does warm up. others stay in the cooler side. especially toward the south bay. we will go 70 brentwood. 62 alameda. 70s low march began hill. and 50s and 60s close to the coast and upper 60s for the peninsula. sunshine and warmer weather take us into the weekend and into early next week. >>> time is 5:07. during president obama's recent bay area visit some protestors broke into a song during the president's appearance at a fundraiser. you remember that. why a local newspaper is in hot water with the white house because of that video. >>> and one of nine americans killed in afghanistan was from the bay area. what he was doing there. >>> good morning, westbound upper deck bay bridge traffic looks good into san francisco. another traffic and weather update straight ahead. >>> there it is. welcome back to the ktvu channel 2 morning news. you see william and kate making the

there were 54 last time. the democrats said they will not help you. >> we will pass with republican votes. no doubt about it. who said we cannot vote for another cr? they have painted themselves into a corner. we have people today fighting for our liberty and our freedom. we do not want to pay them. we have one week where we are going to cut $12 billion. it is a fundamental bill that will pass with republican votes. if democrats do not want to join us, that is their choice. if the senate continues to not act, that is their choice. but we believe that america should move forward. >> if i could just add, republicans have no interest in shutting down the government. shutting down the government is irresponsible and i think it will end up costing american taxpayers more money than we are already spending. i believe that all the members want to support our troops. we are going to do the responsible thing to more. >> if you have gotten halfway to what you want, why not make a deal that would divert a government shu

i think, well -- he asked me for the time. that's all he wanted was the time. i look up -- quarter to 3. he said, thanks. i knew better because i thought, next time he'll ask me something more interesting than the time.

is this the time? one is the time that you are hopeful? >> i think now was the only time. if it does not happen now, i am deeply pessimistic. i am not going to sum up what we set to raise totally new issues that we have not talked about. i think there is an indication that we will have a national security debate in this country that we have not seen for a long, long time. the reason i say that is because i am looking what i have seen from republicans that would be surprising, even shocking. you have centers on the commission talking about reductions in the defense budget, which secretary gates promptly called "catastrophic." to see conservative republicans talking about that is something you have not seen people -- you have not seen before. haley barbour coming out against libya and our right opposing what we're doing in afghanistan and calling for reductions in the defense budget. bachmann coming up flatly what we're doing in libya. no pun intended, but i think we're going that have a debate about national security that we have not had for a long time in this country. it

three times. they forged agreements the required tough decisions made by the first president bush, then by president clinton, by congress's and by the republican congress. all three agreements ask for a shared responsibility and shared sacrifice. but they protected the middle class. they protected our commitment to seniors. they protected our investments in our future. as a result of these efforts, america's finances were in great shape by the year 2000. we went from deficit to surplus. america was on track to becoming completely debt-free. we were prepared for the retirement of the baby boomers. after democrats and republicans submitted to fiscal discipline, we lost our way in the decade that followed. we increased spending dramatically four two wars and a prescription drug program. we did not pay for a of the spending. instead, we made the problem worse with unpaid for tax cuts. tax cuts that went to every millionaire a billionaire in the country. tax cuts that will force us to borrow an average

this is over time to the general fund. the police department also had overtime when there are events in the city, paying for the police coverage. this is paid, the dollar for dollar, by those businesses. we have the general fund overtime paid by the taxpayers. the public health department is the next apartment, and the last couple of years, the overtime use of the health department has hovered around 9-$10 million. the overtime as a percentage of total time is much less than the other departments and this is because the health department has these programs for the nursing staff. and as they have vacancies or need to replace the vacant shift, the use this rather than over time. the use overtime only if they are not able to place the shift with the civil service nurse, as well as the private nurses. the rest of the overtime is it in areas where this is difficult to recruit, with these highly- technical positions and they are unable to recruit. in the area of the fire department, this has increased fairly significantly as the

was that the same time? it was about the same time. freedom of speech meant freedom to sing, for me. and once i opened my mouth and started doing that, it seems that that perpetuated the whole thing. i--i think a day without singing is like a day without an apple, a day without a sunrise. and so i always had that, and i-- once, i said to my mother, "did you have to force me to practice the piano?" and she said--my mother's 85, and she's--she's really-- oh, we talk about her instigating problems, because she is such a first amendment person. but she said to me, "no, i didn't have to force you. "we didn't force you. but i always had to remind you to wash your hands." which i thought was so sweet-- that she remembered. you know, god forbid i should put my dirty little hands on the beautiful steinway piano. um, recently--i had forgotten about this when you asked me-- there were a couple of very interesting incidents regarding the freedom of speech. one thing i know is that people kind of-- certain people in the community kind of watch you-

>> should he spend more time preparing people for this? we don't have that time. the budget is due and we're going to do a budget. and so let's put the president and the democrats aside. let's assume they're going to use this as a political weapon. let's assume that. our job, i think, then is to offer the country a choice. you know, what do you want? at least let's give the country a choice. i mean, look at the path we're on. we're on a debt crisis path. we're on a path where the government goes from 20% of g.d.p. to 40%, then 60% of g.d. . we are on a path where our debt goes from about 68% of g.d.p. to 800% of g.d.p. over the three generation window. i ask c.b.o. to run the model going out and they told me that their computer stimulation crashes in 2037. because c.b.o. can't conceive of any way in which the economy can continue past the year 2037 because of debt burdens. so we have to go out and give the country a choice. we know the path the president's put the country on, it's a path that i fundamentally believe transforms this country into something it was ne

-- 18 months' time. they will fund the county the equivalent of $25,000 for six months, and on top of that, the community supervision fee. that adds up to a lot less than what the state costs are. what the numbers i just quoted you do not include is all the state litigation costs. the state has a dental lawsuit, a mental health: lawsuit, -- mental health lawsuit, they also have the medical lawsuit, so all the costs associated by the extra burden and monitoring that have to be done by those entities -- the state has not even calculated that into the savings. huge dollar amounts on top of it. what i'm concerned about at the local level is that population that is shifting to, say, for example due process revocation hearings, all of that. if the population is no longer in state prison, it will not be long, i believe, having spent almost 30 years at the state prison system, before those entities start looking at the local levels and look at conditions of refinement, and all of that, and there is no dollar amo

and time again i think it is a waste of time to be dealing with this so much in mainstream media but at the same time maybe it's necessary because we're these people coming from i honestly i've never met anyone in person that actually thinks that. but that they must exist somewhere but i think that's the whole point is that the media should maybe be asking these people should be finding these people asking them why they think that this is such an important issue instead of creating this versus them dynamic which once again you talk you and i talked about this the other day it comes to the washington and the new york and the establishment versus the rest of america so should the media whoring on a burger asking why they feel that way. you know when this story started i think that it was more acceptable at this point the story is done george stephanopoulos show the birth certificate to michele bachmann even she said pretty reluctantly listen this is this is settled let's let's move on i think at this point it is time to move on they really should just be no more coverage of it unless a

president lee: how much time are they asking for? i know they're asking for time but how long? >> i believe they are asking for more time to comply. i have a copy of the appeal here which i will look over. i don't know if there is a specific time. >> ok. maybe we'll leave it up to the appellant to specify a time. or did i miss it? >> i think the problem that the owners are having is he has tenants up there that are not leaving. you have residential use occurring and you have tenants up there. until the tenants leave you won't be able to do the work. president lee: ok. thank you for your time. >> the inspector is here to speak as well. >> good morning, commissioners. i'm alex fong, deputy inspector and did i the inspection and was at the meeting with the director and the agents of the owner so i can probably answer some of these questions. at the meeting with the director, director day not only reduced the estimated cost from the approximately $93,000 down to $20,000 and she made that valuation based on the photographs that i presented. she also provided extra time to the -- for

when you look at this why is it time after time there is this false equivalency in these articles about global warming or any of the other topics you have written about? >> i keep getting asked that question by journalists. you tell me. it is your business. it is the mystery to me why this is so different. on one level it is understandable in journalists who have a deadline and are not a specialist in science could be confused by these issues and think i need another voice to give me a different perspective. and if somebody has put something on their desk, can you say here is a ph.d.. i had someone say to me what credible scientists can you recommend to me who doesn't believe in global warming and i say none. they don't believe me and they think i am biased. anyone wants to pay me i am waiting for these -- people who pay be the have any money. why has it been so difficult? it isn't just in daily papers and deadlines. you see it in well research magazine articles, and it is extremely troubling. it is not just that there is a celebrity that i don't believe an asset rain -- acid rain. gets
