it is always a concern to us. so replacing a pizza parlor with a fast-food outlet that provides alcohol is a concern to i think a majority of the neighbors. so i would move to the conditional use disallowed. at the least i would move for a continuous of this item. i think my time is up. but this issue needs to be addressed from the standpoint of the community and not just a business owner. prior business owner said he lost $780,000 in the last year. i think they can afford a continuous -- >> my wife and i have lived a block and a half away from this plaza for the last 39 years. the old plaza was flattened, and the new one was built on the basis of a c.u. from 1989. anyways, it has been over 20 years. and at that time the planners, particularly one whose name told me that this is set in concrete. they figured out the percentages or whatever and that is the way that it was going to be. it has been tried to break these things but it hasn't happened yet. my feeling is that i don't think chipolte would really have a pr

with us. you-you-you have to understand that while substance use is really a function of availability and access, almost anybody will use, addiction itself is largely biological and genetic. you have a gene that gets expressed. and that-and we don't know how, we don't know what goes on, but once that happens you've got a disease, and it's a disease that frankly we don't have a cure for. but it's one that can be managed, through recovery. and that is indeed the whole issue of dealing with it as a medical condition, and-and, as such, how do we begin to heal the whole person? pam? well, i think the conversation we had a little bit earlier about medication-assisted treatment goes along with this, because the more we understand the biological nature of addiction, and we're learning more and more through research about what chemicals happen in the brain and why this happens to some folks and not others, but it helps us understand the diseased process of this. so whether it's a medication that assist

>> yes. >> a fully permitted use but a change of use and it is one of those uses that triggers neighborhood notification. have you or your client done the neighborhood notification and what is the time period that must go by during which the neighbors are allowed to file for discretionary review? that is always something that we pay deference to before we entertain deciding because that would ininvolve us kind of voting before the planning and the land use issues have been settled. >> correct. but we're here tonight on after hours. after hours is a principally permitted use on this particular parcel, so i don't know why we're talking about entertainment because we're not here on the entertainment license but only here on the after hours license. >> ok. >> that said, we started on the 312 notification, we backed off because the captain indicated we'll give you an hour of after hours and we decided, and he says let's see how it goes and we decided at that point to voluntarily hold back for some period of time on entertainment. now it turns out there's community opposition and opposition from

let's grant them the new use, more practical use and thank you. >> thank you. is there additional public comment on this item? >> good afternoon commissioners. we have met with the project sponsor and the ownership group of this particular building. we met with them close to a dozen times, looked at their model and what they have. in north beach there are few places where someone can get self service food. people weigh out their own amounts of food and it is something that is relatively nice. i haven't seen too many people go in and buy pasta and olive oil. very close by is a meat market right up the street, across from the meat market there is a produce market. further up that street there is another produce market. there is plenty of places to buy produce, meats and burdens. obviously it is one of our concerns is what can we do to help businesses survive in this economy. we are in support of the change of use on this particular venue and would like to see the people who are currently serving businesses that serve produce and meats also stay in place. but we d

how do i use it. then they will start to learn how to do email or how to go back to chinese newspaper to read all the chinese newspaper. >> a lot of the barrier still is around lack of knowledge or confusion or intimidation and not having people in their peer network who use computers in their lives. >> the important thing i learned from caminos was to improve myself personally. when i first came to caminos, i didn't know anything about computers. the second thing is i have become -- i have made some great achievements as an individual in my family and in things of the world. >> it's a real issue of self-empowerment where new immigrant families are able to communicate with their families at home, able to receive news and information in their own home language, really become more and more connected with the world as well as connected even inside their local communities. >> if we value the diversity of our city and we value our diverse neighborhoods in the city, we need to ensure that they remain econom

thank you for being with us today. remaking treasure island will mean significant contributions to indiana sets -- industry central, san francisco's economic vitality, tourism, retail, restaurant, and entertainment, and manufacturing. this project is of innovative practices to extend our leadership and sustainability. the mayor and secretary have already mentioned them. green building standards, congested management, innovative storm water treatment, and infrastructure that the uses energy use, and it marks another step forward in our drive to transform former military installations like the presidio and hunters point, into centers of commerce that generate jobs and strengthen our community. perhaps most significant of all, this project means critical investment and benefits for our city and our region's economy. more than $5 billion in public and private investment. nearly 3000 permanent jobs, five times the number of the 1 billion jobs that existed when the banks close. just before the banks closed, it had 1/5 of the

-- who have written to us, and is it compatible? i think we're going to hear from the product sponsors, but there are so many questions about methodology, that i do not see it as sufficient. i would like to see a larger radius when we are dealing with unique stores. even smaller places like about 2 miles away, but i would like to see idifferent methodology. >> the quarter mile radius is only one thing to look at. we looked at a quarter mile radius but also looked at the adjacent village. this is just one criteria we looked at. that is not the only factor. i wanted to clarify. supervisor chu: i know you indicated this is the site currently vacated. i just wonder if there were other projects that had been proposed for the site. >> this is not a difficult fight. this particular shopping mall has been difficult for the owner thule's, -- for the honor to lease. region owner t -- the owner to lease. >> how long has it been vacant? >> about a year. supervisor elsbernd: the predecessor, was it a formula of retail? >> it was. >> how large a

we're asking you for an adjustment in the use permit for a change in the use permit so allow us to operate. if you do grant us that permit, we may have a chance. if you don't, and we will thank you very much for your time. i will be here until the next case comes up. if you have any questions now, i will be happy to answer. i have a number of public comments cards which i will call. i am calling cards that i have. you get three minutes and it is already taken if you want to come up and submit a card. i am calling them in the order in which they came in. >> commissioners, i am a long time resident of north beach. as you see here i have a head of lettuce. this is a head of lettuce. i hope you, as the state, are not prepared to or are not about to tell somebody they have to sell lettuce. i do not think thomas jefferson had that in mind. this place is clean. he is an asset to the neighborhood. i think that if you rule adversely against him we will be looking at another 10-year vacancy and vacancies depress me. >> thank you. sue hester. >> members of the commission i am the architect for the pr

>> well, we found that she repeatedly used campaign funds for personal use.arly in 2009, she had march and april rent payments that were made out, checks made out to a guy named brent basher, her landlord. those were rent payments and she called them expense reimbursements. that's one example of the many expenses ms. o'donnell claimed to be campaign expenses but were really just expenses of her lifestyle. she had no other income, so she was treating her campaign account like it was her personal piggy bank. >> and this happened in 2009? >> 2009 and 2010. >> okay. >> and ms. o'donnell had really no oversight. there was no campaign treasurer as the law requires for over a year and a half, so she had a -- a wachovia bank card that she whipped out whenever other people would use their debit card. >> who do you have sworn statements from to back up this allegation? >> we have a sworn statement from david keegan a former campaign staffer for ms. o'donnell back in 2008. and in addition, there was another person, a campaign manager, who made recorded calls the night b

if someone recognized what their trigger was and they didn't use when in the past they might have used in that situation, we publicly recognize that in our group setting. with the asian pacific islander, there is stigma that has to do with substance use and mental health issues and just getting people in the door to come to group is a big step for a lot of them. and that's why i feel really proud that our staff is very sensitive to this and there's no shaming in group and we have a very positive supportive environment. because, you know, we're a community that, it's all about saving face. so if you have a problem, you know, whether it's substance abuse or maybe getting mental health treatment, you're supposed to just deal with it by yourself, you're not supposed to go outside of your family, you're not supposed to talk about your problems. being able to educate our clients on how confidentiality works and how they will be protected through it has been a very important piece of this, of what we do. i think that the glue of team 360 is the feeling of trust and support that is generated w

but chair maxwell: welcome to lay and use. i am the chair, sophie maxwell, and i am joined by david chiu and later eric mar. madam clerk? clerk somera: please turn off all cell phones. chair maxwell: i believe we do not have other reports today. madam clerk, i number one. clerk somera: mission bay north, blocks n3-n3a. >> what you have before you is a project that is located within mission bay north. i will give you the image so you can see where that is. we're talking about public infrastructure for blocks n3 and n3a, and that includes the sidewalk as well. that is on king and berry and between fourth and fifth, and i will show you an example of the structure. the sidewalk on berry, from property line to property line, street trees, and street lights. the director of public works issued a notice determining that the project was completed and ready for acceptance and intended use. the department of planning has determined that it met the terms of the general plan, in the redevelopment agency determines the acceptance of the ap

i use the phone. but the best thing to do is to be able to go into a restaurant, to go into the kitchen, to find the person cooking the food, and say, "hey, what can i get you? what are you looking for?" >> i would just be doing seed production if it weren't for jim driving in here and refusing to drive away and saying, "no, i really want this stuff. no, ycu don't understand, i really do want to buy this stuff." and "i really want this, and i really want it now, and i really want some, and i want samples," and you know, so forth and so on despite my best efforts to get rid of him. >> as chef michael tuohy starts preparing meals with the greens, he admits his job would be so much more difficult if it were not for produce experts like jim mills. >> jim fills a need here that nobody else does, and that is he--his company and him, particularly, works with several small farms that i would want to work with directly. however, my time is really challenged most of the time, so he takes a load off my shoulder

i am asking if you can help us and work with us to guide society as a whole to recognize us as a people. our ancestors have participated in ceremonies and then within the city limits of in san francisco. we are asking to recognize these things and to allow us to continue to participate in these ceremonies. you know that our future generations can continue to participate in the ceremonies. that is what we're asking for here, for help. our tribe as a city entity can work together to. recognition for our people. we can work on being a part of this society and being a part of the way of life in which we live. >> i am here to let you all know that we have been participating in ceremonies since before my time. to let you guys buying no -- guys know that you can work with us and to have respect for ourselves and give us the opportunity to show the people in the communities that we are still here and we are not going anywhere. and to give us some space and time to show the community that we are still here and to show the future generations to come and we are still with us that we are still with

hear, now, let us wait for what lies behind us, let us honor what lies in front of us, but let us remembern me now -- inside a bus. please join me now in a moment of silence and remembrance. >> thank you. ladies and gentlemen, the secretary of defense, robert gates. >> mr. president, distinguished visitors, friends and family members, to life for being here. nine years ago today, on a day much like this, the calm of a clear september morning was shattered by the worst act of terrorism in our nation to go history. the tracks on the world trade senator, flight 93, and the pentagon claimed thousands of into the -- claimed thousands of innocent victims, forever scarring their family, friends, and all americans. today we honor and remember those who fell, surrounded by those who love them, and still feel the pain. this commitments is in the ways large and small. yesterday we had the presentation of the pentagon 9/11 ", featuring the faces of all who died on these grounds. we are thankful for the work and dedication of all volunteers. just yesterday, a portion of washington boulevard is being re

of communicating with us by e-mail, letting us know what is going on. i would particularly interested in those professional development opportunities, and some advice for when you think it might be helpful if we are available to show up to show support. i do not think it is appropriate for board farmers to be at all the meetings you have -- all board members to be at all the meetings you have. not only do i want to see how this is working and the potential implications, but also i think it is important for the people working at these schools to understand how important we think this is. if you can in the coming weeks figure out a way to do that, give us some advice. i would appreciate that. >> we would be glad to do that. commissioner yee: thanks for the report. i have been anxious to hear about these for a while now. a couple of things that would be helpful for me -- i would like to get an update of the organizational chart. i know you have given some organizational charts before, but it would be nice when i am walking to the schools that i see that. a

we use attendance zones. i want to say to staff a think it is wise that we do the program placement. i think from the very beginning we were all very, very clear about program placement. it was in every discussion and every recommendation. the program placement was huge. on the west side, we do not have any spanish immersion programs. i do not even think we have a chinese immersion program. looking at that offering of program, i think that would be worth to look at. i have heard tonight from some people about, "why don't people just moved into an apartment, and what if they don't really live there?" we have hired investigators. we are knocking on doors. frankly, we found a lot of parents who are not using the correct address. i want to let you know that if you are using the address of the relative or a fake address to get one over on the system, it is not going to work. a lot of parents were very upset with us for their children being pulled out of those schools and being placed at other schools, but in some

because many conflicts are around us. so therefore our attempt, our word and our insistence to contribute to the solution of the problems is appreciated. >> couric: and the prime minister of the palestinian authority, salam fayyad. >> it's one that's based definitely on dealing violence out of the equation for sure. that's our interest. that's how we defined it. from our point of view. it happens to be consistent with obligations that we took on the road map and going back to 1993. it's in our best interest, we're not doing no one else a favor but ourselves when we subscribe to nonviolence. as a really key component to what we have to do to get to freedom. >> couric: a program note: our interview with the c.e.o. of google, eric schmidt, will be seen at a later date. tonight, the president of turkey and the prime minister of the palestinian authority when we continue. captioning sponsored by rose communications from our studios in new york city, this is charlie rose. >> rose: abdullah gul is here, he's the president of tur

and this will allow us and aid us in our recovery should a natural disaster strike. i will start with just moving forward kind of taking us through some of the challenges of broodmoore but it's the lessons that broadmoore neighbors we learnd and possibly share them with you to help you prepare and to build your own capacity should disaster strike much the broadmoore community we are 151 square blocks. centrally located. the circle is circled around broadmoore. we are in the heart of new orleans. it's a diverse community a microcosim of new orleans. home to 7,000 residents prekatrina and 66 percent of our homeowners have returned. we have 2400 properties in the neighborhood and we are leading the city in recovery. because of our organization being together predisaster it really had aided us in our recovery post. being one of the first neighborhoods to release a redevelopment plan for community in july of 2006. and we started planning in january of 2006. really about 7 months of real planning. but the message here is that we can start or you can really start your plann

we are very forge to have with -- "fortune" to vo with us some guests who are going to speaking to us about balconies and problems and what maintenance issues you should be paying to. we have dave from lynnagain, associates from what you normally would call a termite inspector. it's actually a structural pest control company. is that right? >> that's right. >> we'll talk more about what license pest control folks do and why it's so important to know them and to know dave. and a structural engineer who looks at lots of decks and balconies and tries to figure out ways to fix and solve problems. and sometimes looks at the reasons that problems occur and called in to do the forensic investigation of that failure as well. and of course, harvey is here with pat. thanks for joining us, harvey. and i'm chief building inspect, lawrence cornfield. we have a bunch of slides we're going to go through today that i hope will give us sort of a basis to ask questions and focus our discussion. most of the decks that we see that we're going to talk about are made of wood. san francisco is a city built

but -- i do use a computer at home. but it's very inconvenient and what i have found in the past is it just places the burden on us to print copies so in it long run it's not saving paper when it comes to the requirements that we have to read these documents. that is why i want the ability to request printed copies because we're required to read through this material and it's not always convenient for me to sit in front of a computer to do so. and with the e.i.r.'s, they're impossible to read in one sitting actually. i go back and forth and put tags and highlight and this sort of thing. and also, there is still a digital divide and i just hope that this doesn't also apply to members of the public or the members of the public do have the ability to request certain materials and i don't know what the laws are around that now, but not everyone in the public that might want to see some of the materials has -- so at some point i want to have even if it is a memo from staff to be reminded of what's made available to the publi

if you do not use muni and need to use an automobile, where making it easier for the automobile users by providing real-time information on parking availability. we're also making it easier to pay. inconnus points, credit cards, a debit card -- you can use queens -- you can use coins, credit cards, debit cards, and other forms of payment. >> how will the congestion pricing work? >> we will be able to price the parking, the cost of parking on a daily basis, time of day, day of the week. in case of special events down by the ball park, we will be able to properly price on street parking as related to what is happening in the city. the current plan is not to make adjustments on a daily basis. it will be more of a monthly basis. that is the plan entrance of adjusting prices so do not confuse people. the idea is to properly priced the parking so that we create enough availability on the streets of the automobile users will be able to park quickly. we are not extending or changing any of our current powers of enforcement in terms of the parking meters. we're not want to be implementing sund

so that's the utility of using that data to help us.appy about over the time when you were here last and till now, what would you say is the best that's happened and given that you have got an audience of school board members as well as supervisors, is there any direction you would like to give us as policymakers as to where you really think we need to do more work in setting policy or trying to encourage more success in terms of serving the students? >> i think it's key, i went to a school board meeting two nights ago and hear about some of the new direction that the special education, the team is recommending and there is a lot of emphasis on using data to guide decision-making. i see one thing that i feel the most proud about is how we are able to actually change our system from the last time that i came in and talked to now we do have a way to actually track multiple levels, clinical outcomes and also communication to talk about the same language. so when we're talking about this, everybody knows what we're talking about. we can act

just give us four to get out of it. he if it's not better, goed and throw us out.ess sakes, don't bring back the shovel brigade, and then i think they should pivot to saying what should we do now? we need more jobs, more finance willing, more training. here's what our position is. compare it with theirs. in other words, if this election is a choice about the future, we ahave i chance to do quite well. if it's just a referendum on people's frustration, it's a bad deal for us. >> republican leaders throw down the gauntlet with their pledge to america to cut taxes and spending. will it push the gop over the top in the midterm elections? we'll hash it out with representatives from both sides. former president clinton slimz down dramatically as you can tell. he tells me a secret for taking off 24 pounds. felicia jackson promised her late sister that she would take care of her children. but she needed help. i used my american express open card to get half a million points to buy building materials to help build the jackson family a new home. well, i know if my dad was st

thing for us to take used motor oil from customers.

so of course, as we pointed out, none of us used this product today. here is a run down of my beauty routine, some of the things i was supposed to, 40 hormone chemicals, 17 carcinogens, 17 penetration chemicals. they draw others more deeply into the property. 16 toxins, less than 50 percent of my chemicals has been assessed by any publically accountable institutions. there are no government requirements for us to understand these chemicals. we have a lot of information about some of them. most of them have never been -- the combined mixtures of a developing teenager saying day after day year after year. there is a lot we don't know. what do know there is a tremendous amount of scientific evidence that showing low doses of chemical exposures can interfere with hormones, change the way our genomes for diseases that come down the long. most important time of development in the womb, teenagers developing. we also know that disease chronic disease is meaning chemicals are on the rise, breast cancers. who knows a young cancer or family member that has breast

of us truly believe in your subtitle. by fundamentally do not believe that most people do not believe. nobody is trying to put that in them. i am not convinced we are live it -- a living in a nation that people believe that they were made for a purpose. that purpose is to make a difference. >> that is a good point. there is such a tendency to get in side are shells. -- inside our shelves -- shells. i have to keep all that i can as long as i can. a couple of things here on this book. one thing that i discovered, i have been preaching all of these years and i did not realize. some of the basic opportunities, there is enough food on the globe to feed everybody in the world. that is astounding to me. there are some of the most successful non-profit, both faith-based and non-faith-based organizations. i am convinced that we have tools at our disposal that can allow this generation if not eradicate, at least make a dent in human suffering. if the charge would be the way -- church would lead the way, that is what people expect o

it means a lot with us. -- to see our mayer brown here with us. it means a lot to us. >> these and gentlemen, da mayor, willie brown. [applause] >> thank you very much. i am, of course, delighted to again be part of this celebration. claudine is absolutely correct. in a city and county of sentences, the diversity that exists here in terms of age, sexual orientation, race, national origin, religious interests, all of those items are part of what we each celebrate with each other, even though we may not be technically a part of it. that is what makes it such a very special city. as indicated, we are meeting some challenges now, facing ourselves, with reference to conduct our people, but be advised -- we will get through this, as we have gotten through everything in this city, and we will only be better for having done so. so we will do so in the manner in which we always have. [applause] thank you very much for being here. [applause] >> as the evening goes on, we will hear from supervisors chiu, chu, and mar. i would like to invite our public defend

you see on distance, men cycle a little bit more and women use the bike more often because they use it for going shopping or the short distances. one other thing is that biking has a high status in the netherlands, so that's also different from a lot of other countries. this i will skip. hardly readable but this shows that bicycling is used in all kinds of modes of travel, 25% is using the bike, to go into education is 50% and beyond high school it is even a lot more, 55% to 80% children who visit high school do so by bike and you got to realize how in the situation, there are hardly any school buses in the netherlands. there will be no parents bringing their children to high school by car. they say, ok, what's wrong, you can use your bike. it's very cold or range, you won't melt, do you? -- raining, you won't melt do you? >> there are more sigh cligs then people in the -- cyclists then people in the neggederlands. they cost each 30 million euros to build. and the bicycles, you can't see it but more than a quarter of all trips and 40% of all trips up to 40 kilometers are made by bike.

call us. say, i can't get down there i have, they might come out with 50 gallon drums if you have waste or oil they will come and pick it up. if you have gasoline you haven't used in a while they will come and pick it up. the main thing is safety. we don't want to end up like this guy. he didn't heed the warnings. for each one of these to carry out this guy, how many guys are backing them up? i figure 4 a piece. we don't send in a team unless we have the same amount of people and then some to back them up. to get you to gage what an incident is the guy with the big thumb. the rule of thumb is this. if you cover the incident with your thumb you are far enough away. does it look like he's got it covered with his thumb? you see the smoke going to the side. he's still too close. he's got to back up further even with the rule of thumb. we want you to view the rule of time, distance and shielding. what's time, don't stick around. distance. get far away. shielding means put something solid in between
