that legally have the right to purchase and so that's why i think it's really important for us as san francisco to take this very responsible and balanced approach. the last thing i would say if you are using these kinds of weapons for sporting purposes and you are buying 500 rounds of ammunition, then, you should not be afraid of the chief of police knowing that in fact you are purchasing. i still don't understand why someone would need to buy more than five 500 rounds, it's not illegal. the fact that police are aware of it should not be a problem. we have two items before us. if we can get a motion. can i just ask a quick question? we received a number of e-mails and correspond ens and some angry calls. i do want to ask the question of captain oh larry, one person is questioning that hollow bullet points is necessary to self defense situation. he's saying self defense to these types of bullets is important and another person claims unfairly penalizes like herself in the district. can you respond to those? >> in regards to the first comment i would respond that it's not the bullet where you pl

conversation that should be had where the city manager should be using these funds or managed by independent organizations such as the san francisco foundation or a combination of both. district 10, we certainly have seen both models used. and as the term sheet is incorporated into the revised development agreement, i would appreciate it if we could continue to explore the benefits as well as the challenges associated with each of these approaches by managing the work force dollars. thank you. >> thank you, colleagues. any additional comments before we go to public comment? let me just add two quick thoughts from my end. i know there have been a couple questions that have been raised around work force development and one thing i might ask ken rich to do, potentially with rhonda simmons is convene a little group to discuss this. we've heard certainly some feedback from the community as well as from supervisors breed, cohen and others, and want to make sure that we get this right. i also want to echo the comments that some of our colleagues have made around labor piece, which is certainly separate and apart from what we have in fron

of city on our office on the employment side is to put san francisco residents to work, not to penalize employers. so, we will frequently use that as leverage as a means to gain employment for san francisco residents. similarly with the mandatory local hiring ordinance, we've been fortunate to date not to have levied any liquidated damages associated with that, but we have used that as a means to put san francisco residents to work successfully. >> so in the case with america's cup since we don't have any data available, we don't have any idea how the authority of the contract has lived up to first source agreement, is that correct? >> city build does not have any, yeah, we have no knowledge as to the success or failureses that they may have had with regards to employing -- >> would you call that a violation of our -- >> their failure to notify our office would be a violation, as defined in the first source language. >> so, moving forward -- because we're going to have more staging, more vertical construction -- how can we fix this? >> certainly our office needs to be more proactively involved as this project moves forward. and i t

san francisco. it's absolutely fantastic. as i said, for us this is a start. we've got about 10-12 weeks to get this facility ready. that's what we are doing to get ourselves to the start of the summer here in san francisco. that period starts around the 4th of july and go until about the 20th of september. we are going to experience 50 days of racing up and down the bay. all i want to say in conclusion is we are very proud to be alongside the city and the port. we are thrilled that the america's cup is to help get this facility here to san franciscoance. thank you very much. >> thank you all, turner and everyone for making me look good. i mentioned at the outset that this is only in a san francisco moment. the one thing i haven't mentioned yet that this is the only facility that is going to tame, diesel, powered engines and wind powered boats for vastly different uses. we couldn't be more proud of that opportunity and we thank you steven barclay for that opportunity to show case how ports can be modernized to show present and past and future. i would also like

san francisco. the opportunity to replace a vacant lot for the mexican-american community is exciting for us and all of san francisco. the mexico museum as long awaited the opening of a new museum honoring their cultural heritage. the error states that the 706 mexico museum development would not alter the visual character of the project site and it's surroundings. in fact, it would actually add to the character of the neighborhood. i have read the eir and i believe it's a pilot document it should be certified >> next speaker please and why don't you come on up. i'll call a few more names. (calling names) >> good afternoon commissioners i'm mary. i am the ceo of mgm management group and we have the good fortunate of having the businesses or projects. i'm here to support the mexico mission project. i believe this is a good use of a vacant lot in the cultural part of san francisco. we've worked hard to make this project go forward. i have read the eir and i'm aware this would not have a substantial impact on the community. in fact, it's a draw to the area dedicated to the mexico you american projects. those are not only beautiful in their d

in san francisco and as you may know we provide free legal services for thousands of low income immigrant communities, family and residents in san francisco each year through our immigrant rights us housing, workers rights and criminal justice program. we do direct services and litigation and other advocacy. i want to agree with everything that has been said about the crucial nature of public libraries and public access to information being the keystone to any real democracy, i think that is particularly true for the passage of law. on our non-profit legal budget we can only afford a bare bones, we cannot to retain the source and authorities needed to properly represent our clients and do more work, we rely on the public library for those resource and their excellent librarians and staff. it just helps us even the playing field just a little bit against the defense counsel that we are against with those with in-house teams. but we used to use the market street location, and just want to urge the subcommittee to keep from retracting the public resources any further. >> thank you very much. next speaker. >> good morning and thank you for the opportunity to address you this morning

used as a wind break and been used in many many parks. tree comes from the cypress family and the botanical name. i'm happy we are adding such a tree to san francisco and to honor the vivian brown sisters. now like we've done in many of our events, it's always an honor to introduce the supervisor of the district and like he said, we are very familiar with this piece of land. this land has had many trees that act as a buffer to the neighborhood and the neighborhood appreciates it but we are still trying to figure out who is the legal owner of it, but in that process, dpw and the neighbors always join and the one thing we do know is we need to take care of the trees and we do that with that, i introduce the supervisor norman yee. >> thank you, i'm just one of many san franciscans celebrating this day, arbor okay for vivian brown. i'm so glad that we have an opportunity to have a celebration in this district 7 to be able to celebrate more intensely this great icon of san francisco and i just hope that i get to see the tree when it's a hundred feet tall. thank you very much. [ applause ] >> thank you. also as part of our partnership as many of you know

necessarily be bad for san francisco because in the rest of the world they call us the golden triangle and san francisco is a financial strength with oakland at the -- which, is they see us as a region and they come to look at investing in our area, they pretty much make a round and they don't just go to oakland they look at us and see us as a region. so healthcare, main strength of the kaiser is [inaudible/incomprehensible] to be an ensator in healthcare and that is one of the characteristic traits in oakland and we have had this year, after a decade, finally you launched the oakland -- in the worth of oakland by a point over there and our interim director debra allen is here all right -- and that is a major economic engine for the whole region how many you have are involved in transportation lodgestics? not that many here, okay but that is if you look, into commercial real estate and they use economic engine for the entire region and so i look at the jobs that are for the worth port oakland which, is the first port that met the call to export more than we imported and that, that, is very important and that the expansion of the army base after ten years and my deputy there

this is an exciting time for all of us here in san francisco. and asnd before you on this day, we celebrate black history month in san francisco. this is a day on which we acknowledge the being at the crossroads of equality and freedom. celebrating the emancipation proclamation as well as the march on washington, as well as the 100th birthday of our dear sister rosa parks. as our country continues to celebrate the beginning and as our country continues to celebrate the beginning of the second term of our great president, president barack obama. now, it's easy to take for granted the progress that we've made as a country because we are forever looking to solve today's problems and as we continue to meet tomorrow's challenges as we shape our future. but what it is, it's definitely worthwhile to take a look back at the great works of our predecessor and the brave men and women who have paved the way for progress that we enjoy here in the 21st century. and if you look around, many of those men and women are right here with us in the rotunda today. we remem

san francisco. i grew up in another part of the country that was not quite as tolerant or quite as diverse. san francisco drew me, as i think it through all of us, because we live in a very special place. i just want to say on behalf of the board of supervisors -- we have a special responsibility and a special leadership role in the world. as we come together, we symbolize all of this date we have in humanity, the faith we have in the fight for civil rights, the faith we have, frankly, as a common family. >> i consider myself someone who shares the progress of value that need san francisco's -- many san franciscans hold dear. >> i do believe that a majority of this board share the same progressive values, and i think there is a danger and an overly narrow definition of what is progressive. we have to remember that being progressive stance for values of inclusiveness, of tolerance, of acceptance, and we need to think hard about how we characterize various votes of either being within that definition or outside of that. >> before i ran for office, i worked in san francisco as a criminal prosecutor and a civil- rights attorney and really got to un

san francisco's finest. as each of you move in your new role, you will have the technology of advancements that provided for us locally and regionally and around the world. and we have issued laptops, courtesy of hp, thank you very much. and making our officers more mobile and where they need to be. outside and on the streets. as i have said often, we have four generations of cops now sifting through the department. and trying to figure out how to pull it together to keep the greatest city in the world safest. as we hire new cops over the next years, maybe more than in any time in the history, it will take leadership. i mentioned leadership, and not saying what it is. let me start what it isn't. leadership is not managing. not to take away from a good manager, but managers are not leaders. there is no leadership required when there is order and routine. management is what is required for routine order decisions but when order is distorted leadership is required. and already is distorted outside of san francisco, because it's san francisco. now the order in the department for reasons of progress are distorted b

here to have the mega liners dropping off up to 5,000 passengers at a time here when they use san francisco as a port of call. that is one of the aspects we'll be following up to find out from local businesses how that will effect their bottom line. for now we are live in san francisco christien kafton. >> thank you. >>> time now 6:08. sal is coming back. you're watching the roads and bridges. >> we are starting at the golden gate bridge. southbound 101. i believe christien used the word iconic. here's one. here's an iconic bridge. southbound 101. no major problems. we used two words we liked. iconic and someone used the word heinous. the commute is not heinous. i think this would be more like a little slow. not too bad. the metering lights have not been on yet. no major problems by the way. this is a look at the livermore valley from the altamont pass. we got an e-mail saying we love the coverage we have here. we'll give you a lot more of it. this commute out of tracy has been heavy. if we're driving from antioch to concord the traffic is moving along pretty well. no problems on 80 from valle

. >>> not as many people are using the newly-laufrmged ferry service between oakland and south san francisco the san francisco chronicle reports on an average day last month, about 130 passengers took that ferry. ol officials were hoping for triple that number in the first year. the ferry occupy rater wants to add afternoon trips to lure recreational travelers as well as school groups. our meteorologist is here, and as we are closeing in on that first day of spring, we're also closing in on some rain. >>> yes. much huff needed rain and showers on the way for the final day of winter and the first day of spring. outside our doors right now, just a lot of cloud cover. take a look at all that gray over the bay area. 60 degrees santa rosa right now 53 san francisco, 58 in hayward. still holding onto come mid 60s. walnut creek, antioch, concord, load 60s in fairfield. back it up, going to show you the system that is going to bring us that rain. still a few hun miles off the coastline. the center of the system, but already sheeing some of this southerly moisture pull in, these clouds that will cont

and whether it was guadalajara or a rural county in texas what brought us here was that hope where in san francisco as most places offered a better life. it was judged by a play we create not by a language we grew up with. we're a city that rewards the inno matter and the risktaker. fred and harvey ye very and willie brown and nancycy pelosi. we've known our share of adversity, earthquake and the problems with aids. we're not afraid to fail or doing what we know is right. and most importantly we know that none of us succeed alone whether it's in reconcile or business or life. we know as michelle obama said so well, this past summer when you walk through that door of opportunity you don't slam it shut you help someone else walk through that door behind you. my fellow san franciscans i know there's no limit to the opportunities in this city in we keep the door open. if we commit ourselves and put politics behind us we can help future generations and thank you go >> good morning, everybody. welcome to the technology summit. we are looking forward to a fantastic day. we are going to start with a demonstra
