we do have some customer that will call us because it is their habit to do so. if he does not go on at a particular time in a certain project. we then assist them with the housing authority. generally, what we see, not necessarily a cluster like that, but more a situation where the housing authority is willing to do -- if it is a large capital improvement project -- to do something to help that tenant. whether it is giving them interim heat or relocating them. that is one option that they can look into, moving into a unit that is more agreeable to them. so we see a plethora of the things that they are doing with respect to the complaints, but not the kind of saturation that we would come if we were out there doing another similar type of inspection. commissioner walker: so we have the have theoutreach folks in our sro collaborative dealing with these issues so that they do not get to us, hopefully. >> and there is a history of working within the housing authority, that we have some expertise in the program. commissioner walker: are we meeting with the housing au

they use it to engage kids. how do you use collective bargaining to try to break through the industrial model and deleveraging agent to do that? >> the future valuations in this issue of finding a way to weed out low performers, this is what a lot of these discussions come down to. they cannot remove ineffective teachers. would you say this is what the whole position is about s ? >> with the problems, they have goen into this scapegoating union. they are letting them off the hook. if you look at the new teacher project, we see 99% of teachers being evaluated. we have management. they are failing at their first obligation, to identify educators and is it that they improve or they will not. they are mistaken. they wind up sharing some of this. i would like to see them calling out. i do not think they do so. there is too often a compromise. everybody aees and nobody should be called to account. in that way, everyone wants response ability. this is a robust sysm in which we're building a lot of room for managerial judgment

can you say to us -- i do not mean today, but could you give us something that looks at the changes in our paradigm, turning this battleship? if he said to me -- i read the report. i agree with all of those things. but there is not anywhere in that report that says we think a service model for this many kids with these many disabilities would look like this as far as staffing. now you have as many. you might have teacher is doing these things, this many. then you could, with help from our budget staff, tell us what that might cost in today's dollars, based on today's contracts. all that we know today. then we would have some idea. for me and i think other members of the board, we were a bit taken aback. that is not what we believed would happen. we thought the first year we began to implement this change, the evolution to the service model, we would tremendously increased general fund support. i understand the issue of other funds we had before, but we did not have those a few years ago and were not spending $20 million more than we are now. do you understand what i am talking about? i

to play with the engine used. do. that's improved since i believe. we don't wonder if they can do is now not from those clubs but also for the games who are coming up so send them back do they still must be feeling very confident something stolen a very good position going into these last four games yeah yeah well we all we have everything. we've got now three home games as well so we have to do that plus the fact that i have the feeling that in all mcauliffe because you can we were the better side so now we have to continue in the fun for going on a question of. the great some friend of mine just recently transferred something you'd be looking to provide tonight and how do you explain russia's inability to win for you much as it was last year or so i was happy to be honest it was a loss for a new game against a move and i was dropping there was a very good guy who is to the players who are not normally the regulars but then they go really well. for starters there's a show that they can do does well. in the netherlands meanwhile has been postponed thi

commissioner walker: my thought on this is there is an extreme that warrants us doing something. making sure we have that ability -- and i think we do, it is just expensive at this juncture. i do not think anyone is expanding to becoming the building owner or anything. in the case of something like lack of heat, it can be life- threatening. i think it is something to look at, especially if it is happening everywhere. i do not know if we still have that steam system that buildings hook into. we have to be prepared for our responsibility. commissioner murphy: i think if you are living with 50 units and the heat is off, eight days running, 50 tenants have a lot of power regarding putting the pressure on the landlord, so -- >> we will have public comment following this item. you can speak at that time. commissioner hechanova: additional comments? commissioner lee. commissioner lee: i think the department should book through this overall process to see what we can do better. from what i am hearing, i do not think the process is perfect just yet. obviously, there are still some complain

i would like to encourage you to use those. do you use a service dog for a disability or as a pet, because oftentimes, there are people who are disabled. this is versus people who just want to bring in a dog, so if you have a disability, that is pretty much what it is about, that you verbally have this contract that is disabled, and this is the main thing i think businesses should note to truly asked about this for disability and what task the animal can do for you. this is a trustee -- a tricky question. if you tell them about this, it tells them about the disability, too. the cannot ask you what kind of disability you have. sometimes, that is a really tricky thing, but i encourage the businesses to make use of those questions, and it is a liability issue for us, too. and the other thing i would appreciate is is businesses would fix their little signs on the windows. that is pretty much it. >> -- president o'brien: thank you very much. so noted. any further public comment? >> hello, since i am a business owner, unfortunate, by ms

do? >> there is a guillotine waiting for us if we do not get this done. it makes $1.50 trillion of automatic cuts. you cannot decide, i want this to be cut, i do not want this to be caught. secondly, more importantly, the public is saying, we've just elected you to do a job. if you are not going to do, why are you there? it is time for us to prove that we can get it done. it requires us to come to the table -- i have to be ready to say, social security has to be on the table. social security has never contributed one penny to this deficit. some people want to cut social security. i will say, let's put it on the table. i hope i can prevail by defending it. tavis: when you say that guillotine is waiting for you if the cuts are not made, i am trying to figure out how members of this committee are impacted if these cuts kick in. you broke.of it is knowledge it is going to impact you if these cuts don't kick in. i'm trying to understand how these 12 members of congress who are no different than their other colleagues, who will not be impacted by these cuts, ca

us do it at home of a computer and what we have a bank, we have a public transportation network that gets us right downtown to our financial institutions who are in historic buildings or in well-designed modern buildings. we have a full array of banks with an equal footing downtown. each of those banks and there are many of them caught will all try to have a branch bank to where i live, i don't think this would work. it is for that very reason we need some sorting out of what is necessary and desirable to help us in our neighborhoods to have a thriving neighborhood life and what is not necessary and redundant. i have come to think that by now, given the proliferation of branch banks that it is redundant. i just have to believe it. there are branch banks everywhere. i am through with everything now want to say. thank you. commissioner antonini: i can definitely see a distinction as far as the financial institution is concerned for a lot of reasons. as most of you know, banks have to make the bank every three days. that means they have to clear imbalance. it doesn't matter they are ope

to do with us, that's exactly what i do with them. all five of my boys love to fish, and we fish good. we really are, you have to see us. my seven year old, we fish. i taught a lot of things that he taught us when we were smaller fishing and stuff and i do it and they enjoy it. >> john, what he's saying is that you taught him things that made him a better father and then by seeing that he was such a good father, he found the opportunity in yourself. >> now i get my chance. [laughter] some parenting books. [laughter] >> before that happens, you have also found interesting outlet. this book is out not so long and you were invited by a book club as i understand it in a prison. >> that was the most. i never experienced anything like that in my life teenagers, 16, 17, i was nervous going in there. i didn't know what to expect. i knew there was murders, carjackers, 70% were not coming home at all. that was the quietest people say they ever heard the kids ever since they've been there they sat there and listened to everything that i've said a

do anymore. the key benefit will allow us to do this on line. our online payment efforts have been particularly successful due to the last cycle moving more than 50%, in some cases a% of our stuff online, 90% for filing, so that has allowed us to do that, and, frankly, that is more accurate. we have a cycle similar to what we do for registration, which was around a 72-hour turnaround by moving things online. so that is it in a nutshell. we have had some discussions with the subcommittee about the impact. we have the standardized on march because the cost impact was already the greatest in march. it was the most nominal about point. public health, for that matter, which has a series of licenses. there a pro license is already in march, said the incremental change is still something, but it is phenomenal compared to if we moved it to another timeline. so that is one of the reasons why we chose to standardize on march. we have had challenges with the june dates and the august dates because the budget is being passed, and many times, the sea is not

people don't do that, and all over america they're making tough decisions. no wonder they're upset at us for pursuing this idea that we don't have to make any changes in what we do. it's just very, very distressing to me. the president said, talking about unemployment -- that's --s part of the reason people are so frustrated what's going on in this town. the last few months, the economy has already had to absorb an earthquake in japan, economic headwinds coming from europe, the arab spring and increases in oil prices, all of which have been very challenging to the recovery. but these are things we couldn't control." well, i don't know that those are the big problems around here. rising oil prices are. today oil prices are more than double, just about double, a little more, than what they were when president obama took office. we've shut down virtually new exploration in the gulf. we're blocking the production of natural gas in -- in the -- in the shale formations that got so much promise for us. we're doing a lot of things that are driving up the cost of energy. then he goes on to say th

and what do you want us to do? >> i might not have addressed that. there is real work that needs to be done to this building. and in my particular case, the bathroom was a $2.50 effect that the -- that my boyfriend did. all i was asking the board to do is to stop the process of public harassment. there was no need to do demolition of the bathroom. that comes from either the bathroom of of, or when i finish paving, and dump all of the water in my to live. all i had was l 0 tiny light at the head -- -had a little tiny fix. commissioner garcia: if you were to be totally victorious here today, what would you walk out of here with? that they would never be allowed to do the work? >> there is real work to be done to the building that lead to grave attention. removing my bathroom is not one of them. commissioner garcia: what would you like us to do to correct the problem? >> i would like my bathroom to be put back then. the bathroom removal was beyond the scope of what we noticed. commissioner garcia: i am not saying that you don't have a real issue or that

i can't do the things that you used to do but what i can do is share my story share my experiences and continue to advocate for the world that i want to see and continue to try to create real and meaningful change. today we're announcing the addition of the annual andrus sandiego to the f.b.i.'s most wanted terrorist list san diego is wanted for his alleged involvement in the bombing of two biotechnology facilities in the san francisco bay area san diego's criminal acts of violence were domestic acts of terror planned out and possibly intended to take lives destroy property and create economic hardship for the companies involved the f.b.i. is announcing today a reward of up to two hundred fifty thousand dollars for information leading to the location and arrest of daniel injurious san diego animal rights and environmental extremists remain a significant threat based on the economic damage and widespread nature of this threat. these extremists have been responsible for over one thousand eight hundred criminal acts and more than one hundred ten million dollars in damages. when i tell peo

we will use the efficiencies. we will do more with less. we will make better use of technology. i think we will be successful in making this and keeping this city safe. but i think that we would hate to lose any of the ground we have gained with these homicide numbers and violent crime, and being able to have the officers work with the kids and be assigned outside of what people would think would be traditional assignments. that all goes to the reduction of violent crime. what we need to have -- we need to maintain the levels we have. i will make sure they work as the shifts that make them deployed the most efficiently. but at some time it gets to the point where you have to decide what you're not going to be able to take care of. right now, with what we have, to hold at least this level is critical to the police department. i would say staffing. next would probably be technology. we are so akin to new york, in that san francisco is like manhattan and the other counties that surround us and come into san francisco daily are like the boroughs. we need to be interconnected. we nee

do the stairway. commissioner fung: the stairway is the issue before us. the community boards thing is voluntary by the parties themselves. >> i think that for today's case, we would like to let us do the stairway thing and in the future, she would like to go to the -- commissioner fung: community boards. ok. thank you. president goh: i was going to give you another minute if you have any for one -- a need for one. if you'd like. >> i would like to ask michael if a new permit is granted for the stairway to be rebuilt that the area be removed so there is not an eagerness to my roof and is -- egress to my roof. the entire stairway should be certified by a structural engineer. president goh: anything more? commissioners, any questions? commissioner hwanpeterson: at wt point will they be warranted? >> i think it will be required by drawings. the picture showed it at the bottom. >> how would they know it is more than 50% needed to be replaced? we heard lumber being brought into the backyard. it certainly happens in this city. a lot of times, the have done more

will lose money we'll lose the money and international best results a little money but all of us little do everything in our power and repudiation is very important to us and to the russian government that will be making successful investments but it's very important that they make independent decisions we make independent decisions and together we can make very good profitable investments in russia so you promise and to be for thank you thank you thank you for being with us in just a reminder that my guest today was healed had how the russian tire had invested and that's it for now from all of us if you want to have your same spot have someone in mind for you think i could into the next time you drop me a line and housing are. r.c.t. darts are unique and let's get light interact only back to the more clear don't comment on what was going on in and outside russia until then stay on target in and take it. in to. play.

>> it is going to allow us to do several things. it will allow west -- it will allow us to have your around advocacy. in the past, six or eight we intend to keep that structure in place your around. we will build on that between election cycles. that will allow us to move seamlessly. in addition to that, our program in the past was geared toward talking to our members. we will now expand out and talk to all workers, which we will do. we will be building those partnerships and talking to workers beyond our membership. educating them, mobilizing them, and getting them out to vote. >> [inaudible] >> no, we do not. >> you have been very clear in your opposition to the free- trade agreement. you talked about the importance of not exporting jobs. with the current atmosphere in congress right now, are you hopeful, do you expect that maybe they will not be able to pass the free-trade agreement? given all of the acrimonious atmosphere now. what do think will happen? >> we intend to oppose those trade bills that we think are bad. we think the

a lot of us do not even want to read, do not have time to read. we would much rather passively sit back and receive information either via video or audio. >> you had something to ask? let me get behind you a little bit. >> i just wanted to bring in the aspect of social media in terms of this consumption. we are seeing with facebook and twitter, these are great drivers of traffic to news sites. the role that citizens have in terms of informing your network of friends and family about what is important, and we are seeing that people are relying more on individuals for recommendations or taking their cues from them about what is important, you know, with those links that you in bed in your twitter and facebook posts. this is a way to get people to focus on stories that are important to them as a community or individual or causes they are passionate about. >> just to piggyback on what she was saying, we have to rearrange the way we think about news. we might not read 5000-word stories anymore, but i know in all my other friends will read 5000 suites t

don't end up running the country we don't know anything about this there is a justification for us doing much more them for no fly zones there is a justification when they blew up a passenger airline over lockerbie killing our people on the ground and killing people for america there was a justification to do what i suspect russia might have done under the same circumstances which you said roy we're coming in we're taking you out we're bombing the hell out of the place and then there will be a change of regime and that would have been more justifiable than this but libyan rebels did offer to intervene they also may say to intervene do we not that full have a duty to go in and help the mouse no we don't want you to do we owe to a saw aid in a revolution who is trying to grab power to decide what the outcome of that war is going to be i say we have no duty while we are out there wandering around the desert there was a justification it was lockerbie there's no justification i prefer the russian position i prefer the chinese position i prefer the german position all of which is the siamese w
