thank you, again, for all coming to visit us at city hall, please do not be strangers. ? i'm holly lee. i love cooking and you are watching quick bites. san francisco is a foodie town. we san franciscoans love our food and desserts are no exceptions. there are places that specialize in any and every dessert your heart desires, from hand made ice cream to organic cakes, artisan chocolate and cupcakes galore, the options are endless. anyone out there with a sweet tooth? then i have a gr

these awards are important and they're an important opportunity for all of us at city hall to make a the people and organizations that work hard every day to make our neighborhoods the very best that they are. so, i have the distinct pleasure to introduce one of my most favorite people, city employees here in san francisco. y'all just heard from mr. clean, and that's who we affectionally call the director of dpw mohammed nuru. and he has a right hand and that right hand, her name is sandra zanega. it doesn't matter what neighborhood you're in, you can call either one of them and they will tell you what's going on. they know what's going on in that neighborhood and they know the pumps of what's going on in that neighborhood. not only do they reach out to every neighborhood association, merchant association, but they also work hard with the corporate sponsors to make sure that they are committed to our neighborhoods, to making sure that they are clean, that the graffiti is removed, that the dumping is taken away, that we have vibrant commercial corridors, vibrant commercial -- vibrant

us. or walking in and say hello at old lock cabin, golden gate park. and of course you can find more information and reach us at sfrecpark.org. across america, cities and towns, homes and businesses all depend upon one basic resource. modern civilization and life itself would be impossible without it. woman: okay, so today, we're going to look at how do we get our water? narrator: and today, it's a matter of simply turning on the tap. so often, we forget about the value of water. water is a commodity that is essential to life. 100 years ago, it would have been hard to imagine turning on the tap water. and now, it's an expectation.

use. and the take home is clinics can pretty much go almost anywhere in the city. of course, at certain places they're required conditional use because we need to see whether they are an appropriate use for, you know, in residential areas or in some of the smaller neighborhood commercial districts. [speaker not understood] map for hospitals, but because we thought that most of the additional demand would be met through clinics and smaller private offices, we are showing the map for the clinics here. and lastly, in terms of the key findings from all of this data, we think that based on the amount of existing space and the space in the pipeline, they were relatively -- in the relatively small demand for new space, we think san francisco is on track to meet its health care needs in regards to space.

>> at the right time i wanted to note that in addition to those cities in the us that have this programa number of international cities, paris, i've used bike share at a number of venues and it's an exciting program so we're fully support of and the partnership of the mta. >> maybe we'll continue with public comment and get the rest of the commission. >> is there any public comment on this item. being none. public comment is close. >> commissioner harrison. a couple of things, will the dimension with this area with the bike racks will that grow as the program grows. i noticed they're expecting quite a bit of growth. >> if you look in your materials you'll see the stations they're putting in. they have a lot located on the sidewalks as well. we really don't have to come back to us if they want to grow it any further than what we have here. >> and the insurance, will that cover us in the event of civil disobedience. >> you mean -- >> if they pick up the bike racks and throw them through a bus window or something? >> i don't think it would cover that because it wouldn't be caused by them.

at city college. and i believe that that is kind of our clash of values. now, i understand that we all are fighting to keep city college open, but a lot of us kind of say, you know, we want to keep city college open. we also want to keep it -- save it the right way. and the right way is making sure that we have access for all students, not just the students who want to transfer to 2 and 4 year colleges because eventually everyone might want to do that, but we should say it should be there for esl students, it should be there for everybody because education really does contribute to -- i think 60% of our culinary students end up within the first three months, they end up getting a job somewhere in san francisco hospitalities industry. these are like stories and these are statistics that we can continue to pump out. so, our institution actually does a very great job at educating students. i don't think that is at issue. in terms of governance, we just prioritize different things. when we lost $53 million, the first thing that we did was we looked at our administrators and we split the cost savings there. we looked at consulting fees and looked at cost savings

at risk. >> they knew that if they didn't fix these thing, they were increasing the risk, unnecessarily increasing the risk, of something major happening. >> so why were they still using them at texas cityeveral million dollars to get rid of them. >> but i mean, this was a plant that made how much in profit? >> they made about $1 billion a year at that plant. >> so there's money there to replace them. >> sure. well, ed, the deal is, you want to make $1 billion dollars, or do you want to make $998 million? they chose to make $1 billion. >> there is evidence that texas city's own plant manager, don parus, was dismayed by unsafe conditions at the refinery and even tried to get the attention of his bosses in london. he briefed them on a report revealing that most workers at the refinery felt the plant was unsafe. one worker wrote... another wrote... >> what do you do you when you realize that everybody at the plant says this place is about to blow up? >> and what did they do? >> they didn't do much. two months later, the plant blew up. >> bp's top refinery executive john manzoni said under oath that he didn't know of serious safety concerns at the refinery until the day of the explosion. >>

us feel wonderful and accepted and celebrated. >> there is a lot of city agencies, city departments, divisions that offer up their employees to help us out since overwhelming response, it's unbelievable at how city government works. this is the time that san francisco city employees have really outshined san francisco's clerk's office didn't need to hear from the mayor to say what's your plan. they offered a plan and said here is our strategy. here is what we can do. we can add all of these computers here and there. we can connect our databases, we can expand our capacity by x. we can open up early and stay late and stay open on the weekends. it's unbelievable. we can coordinate all of the training for our volunteers and them in as deputy marriage commissioners and make sure it's signed and certified. that's an example and a model for others. this is -- what happens is when people prove that things can be done, it just raises the bar for what is possible for everyone else. >> it kind of went cooled plan and this is what we planned for. in some respects, people have kind of commented to me, oh, my god, you were a part of history and how many couples did we mary? how many families did we

us to be better prepared. we'll have another one on the south side of the city to look at the storm which will allow us to know which parts of the city are getting the most rain. it does not will be sent to the computer in kangaroo and we'll have the most advanced rain detection system in the country. in addition to the infrastructure side you pasdz the storm water management policy. this is impacting any policy that distributors 5 thousand square feet whether a public or private managed project it will manage the water open site to reduce the demand on our exist system which will reduce flooding. additionally we have projects in waurps and we're working with the school district on some of those projects. we created this project and we've given away $70,000 in grant in order to create for conservatism and since then people have harvested many gallons of water. additionally in 2009 we created an advanced program and awarded $1 million in grants to have more programs like sclaipz and again trying the to reduce the amount of water that is channeled into the system that were san francisco is the only utility throu

us, chief economist at metro study. also still with us, steven wheating at citi private bank., and brad, welcome to you as well. look, it's a big week, albeit we've got the holiday on july 4th. there's a bit of a strange week. how's this going to play into our thoughts about the fed? >> well, as you said, we have a lot of important numbers coming out about the economy. everyone wants to know whether the fed's going to take away the punch bowl or the kool-aid bowl, some would say, rapidly or gradually. all of these things are going to affect the economy as a whole. one of the things that i watch the most closely is the housing market. and the interesting thing about mortgage rates and interest rates is as rates go higher, what happens sometimes is the buyers will increase their buying activity, at least accelerate their buying decision ahead of rising interest rates. but longer term, it's an affordability issue. and it starts to imping on what people can afford. and so they go and look for houses in more remote locations or older homes or smaller homes. >> yeah, just explain th

from all of us here at nhk world, thanks for joining us. >>> iwaki city in fukushima prefecture was devastated by the great east japan earthquake. marie mutsuki mockett, a japanese american author, is visiting the area. >> there are people surfing. that's just like my home in california. such a beautiful day.

come on up here, let's have everybody get a look at you. [ applause ] >> okay, let me tell you about what patricia did for us for the city. >> on march fourth, at 6:25 p.m., public safety dispatcher patricia marcuchi. received, i am just waiting for her to look at me mean and say that they said it wrong. >> received a call from a 9-year-old boy named jason, now he called 911 that day and he reported his grandfather who was having an asthma attack. during this call, she provided jason can medical instructions and assistance and most importantly comfort and reassurance. there is an added level of difficulty for her in that jason was translating for adults who only spoke chinese. even under these difficulty situations they worked to help to insure a successful out come. unfortunately he and his family were unable to join us today. but that is not going stop us from celebrating the fine work of this city employee and the job that she did to save the lives here in our city. so we will take a brief moment to hear this conversation, but what i want you to keep in mind is that this 10-year-old child is translating for adults who

berkeley it breaks free and at the toll plaza you will be waiting 15 to 20 minutes if you make it out to the bridge unless you happen to be using the carpool lane. and union city at whipple a crash clearing the two right lanes. backed up from 238 as you head south. steve? >>> a lot of cloud cover over us. mostly cloudy here. not only high, mid level clouds but also low clouds and fog, so a mild morning, tropical in feel and nature. we also had light rain. nothing too heavy here. a little bit here for the morning. i think we will get better condition this is afternoon. again, the humidity factor will be very high. a lot of 60s for lows. the clouds not preventing temperatures from cooling off. a little wave if you will of the jet stream in the atmosphere moving right by us, allowing the cloud cover to enhance us. a little rain. much drier air in southern california. that will work its way toward us this afternoon. on the peninsula a couple of reports in redwood city, belmont, san mateo, a few drops of rain, as well and near san jose off and on light rain. cloudy to mostly cloudy in the morning, the possibility of thunder shower activity, and a break in the cloud

at the next oakland protest. the city has banned tools of violence that could be used to cause damage. anne makovec at oakland city hall this morning where the vote came after 1:00 early this morning. anne. >> reporter: at 1:20 this morning. this is one of those civil liberties versus safety debates but in this case, the council was in agreement and they passed this ban early this morning. basically it bans anything that can be used as a makeshift weapon during a demonstration like hammers, clubs, shields, slingshots and spray-paint allowing police to make preemptive arrests. you can jailed for six months or face a $1,000 fine. this move comes after a waiter at a restaurant in oakland was hit in the face by a protestor with a hammer during demonstrations against the george zimmerman acquittal earlier this month. an extreme case and the aclu is afraid a blanket ban could take things too far. >> is the intent to allow people to carry hammers to raiders events but not to political protests? that kind of singling out is problematic. >> reporter: this is more video from the just protests. th

so, i think if you just look at it, yes, everybody knows city college is, you know, important, but these are the things that let us secure -- we wanted to prioritize classes. and maybe we could have made some better decisions. i think so, yes, but really our decisions were made so we can provide access to everybody. and then my last point before i leave is i know that there was a comment about the real estate department. i do really appreciate the mayor's office being involved with this process, but i do think that one service we might not need in terms of prioritization of resources is our real estate department. [laughter] >> i think we have a pretty good understanding of how valuable city college is in the altruistic part and the monetary part as well. and i don't think we're for sale so i don't really need that -- (applause) >> i would just humbly request that we can, you know, shift the resources to other things other than our real estate. thank you so much. i really appreciate this hearing and opportunity to speak. (applause) >> bravo. thank you [speaker not understood]. >> good afternoon, chair cohen, super
