however, its primary use for us is disinfection. disinfection of drinking water and also the treatment of water. it is also used for odor control in our waste water collection system. so it will be this last piece that i will be focusing the discussion on today. this was question a lot in the media, so i will talk about that in one piece. i should note that it is one of the many methods that we used to combat odor in waste water. so where do we use this? on the charts year, about 50% of the sodium hypochlorite is used for disinfecting water. about 30% is used for disinfecting and treating waste water, and the remaining amount is used for over control -- odor control. it is not the only chemical we use. we also use peroxide and a ferriss solution -- ferous -- ferrous solution. they are cite specific. this is basically from where the odors are coming from. you want to know what this costs. that is what you are looking at there. while the total chemical addition has gone down, you will note that for sodium hypochlorite, it has actually

interior so it will not be a walk up use and will not require the section 312 use. the board declared correction last night to the department that they want building department and planning department to monitor the construction and insured does comply with the use size limitation and what the plans state. two other items that would be interesting -- 281 turk which authorized the building of a pharmacy. there was a lot of neighborhood opposition to this citing the negative impact of pharmacies in the district which has picked up the name pill hill. as the board had initially denied the application when it came to the adoption of findings, the decision changed and the permit was upheld. there were hearing requests last night the will allow both parties to have counsel represent them threat a full hearing process. they will go back to hearings on that and the board will be able to have the benefit of attorneys briefing them from both sides. the last one is 731 commercial which was the appeal of a letter we had releasing suspension of the permits. we have been working

they didn't even ask us to redo the conditional use. but that's not fair because we do all the processes -- processing. if they have no comment they should submit it to the building department. why are they holding it so long and then finally they sent us a letter -- commissioner fung: ms. tong, you need to answer the following question. why did you wait four to five years? >> actually, because we have a lot of projects that are ongoing. that's while when we file, they already take so long to do the commission and then we changed our -- a few times already. the first architectural project for us was out of town so that's why the project was delayed and delayed. on the conditional use, we already followed all the procedures once they give us the approval and we did. they're saying that if everything is on progress they will continue to give us the extension. and i have a document showing that severing on progress so you guys can tell -- from 2006 we submitted seven, nine, and also 2010, we still have an email with the planning department

of other uses. the first we recommend should inexclusive self-service specialty food restaurants and that is a new restaurant definition that did not exist when the active uses were originally defined and probably should have been included in this list when it came into existence. and similarly outdoor activity areas should be included in the list as they go a long way in creating active spaces along the sidewalk. and there we have the esteemed supervisor and his aid and we just described the ordinance and if you would like to take a moment to describe the purpose of the ordinance. president olague: and also want to acknowledge tom from the city and i know you have been worked on this extensively. okay. >> no special privilevileges to. >> hi. honorable commissioners, thank you very much, and i'm representing district five and thank you very much to the planning department for our assistance in drafting this legislation. i'll give you the high-level reason why i put this in there and make personal mo

i'm asking this commission, perhaps using the suggestion to ask mr. marsalis to join us -- mr. to join us. president olague: on april 7th, we are having the discussion about treasure island. he has been everywhere in the city government. if someone like he could come and give us the expertise to the discussion, i just don't know what his availability is. in addition to mr. blackwell, if he has the time available, and others, so that we have a robust discussion about what this means. the physical project and these other issues are around public benefits. [crosstalk] >> i think that's fine, but it's like they are all in house people. it would seem that there might be some other expertise around who can look at it from a different perspective. i don't know who those people are. with a little searching around, i think there are outside consultants, somebody that has some perspective other than the redevelopment agency staff. >> since we are having a discussion on this and linda is starting to get nervous, i am talking to rich about getting someone from outside city government to ta

in san jose, they use them as well. around the world, segways are used for various purposes. tours are just a small part of that. supervisor mar: could i just say -- this is in an historic park with many sensitive areas, wildlife, plants, so it might be different from the airport. >> i am quite aware of the value of the park. that is why we put segway tours in the park. we appreciate the chance to be there. golden gate park is entirely too big to be seen by foot. you cannot walk the whole park. you cannot drive the whole park. there are not trams to take you around. the best way to see golden gate park is by segways. i believe you should not only approve the san francisco electric tour company's tours, i believe you should rent them to everyone who wants to go. you selected a vendor to produce this result. i would urge you to leave them alone and let them do their job. thank you. >> good morning. warrick farmer. national sales manager for open top san francisco. i would like to speak to you in regards to two points. one as a tourist and one as an operator. i have lived in man

but i did want to mention we also have with us david campos who's joined us.and dr. veronica hunnicutt h

in my need a conditional use. we got rid of the restriction on the number of seats. >> that is a great name. >> the toaster role -- rule. there was a great report that i have talked to your staff about called nc-20. in 2009, it was adopted by the planning commission and reviewed the restaurant sites. it is a great example of this. who cares? why are we regulating this? these are very hard for the planning commission to regulate. it is hard to go out and have the toaster police. is it like reheating water or a beverage? you have got to create something that is enforceable. it can be hard to comply with. it suddenly violated the planning total. that was a goal of all of these. >> i am not an expert on the issue, but i understand that a lot of small businesses can open up with a convection oven. this will simplify its. but anything an open flame requires an incredibly expensive hood, and fire equipment system. it is cost prohibitive to a lot of square footage cafes. >> i only know this anecdotally. he is very excited

mayor lee will be joining us later. with the invocations, we would like to invite pastor stacey kerns. >> good amp. let us pause for a moment to invite the presence of god. shall we pray together? god, our help in ages past, our hope in years to come, we invite your holy presence to bless this celebration of african-american history month. we give up thanks and praise for the legacy, the creativity, the genius and contributions of african-american people everywhere. we pray that you would strengthen this organization and strengthen all organizations that support telling the story of black history. and so today we ask that as we continue on the journey. that we might be able to do justice, love kindness, and walk hummably -- humbly with our god. may you bless this time together and all god's children say amen, amen, amen. >> and now if you would stand for "lift every voice and sing," sung by leah suites. >> ok. everyone can join in with me. ♪ lift every voice and sing ♪ tell up in heaven rings ♪ rings with a harmony of l

the ocean in front of us. okay, that's where we're starting from." so he goes to his noblemen, "we think the best way to protect and defend ourselves is to build a castle on this hill." and they get really clear about it. what it would look like, how would it work. why it would protect and defend them. and once they're clear about it, they step back and they said, okay, what are the obstacles? and they might have said, well, we've never done this before. we've built some wooden hill forts, but stone castles? we actually don't know how to do that. so that's one obstacle. and then he might say, "you know, who's going to be doing the fishing and the farming and the hunting while we're building the castle? how are we going to take care of ourselves while we're building this thing?" okay, so there are some obstacles. so then they said, "what are we going to do to get from where we are to the actual, literal, castle on the hill?" so let's say that they came up with three strategies. three core directional choices, v

in we can help you, please call us and notify us. >>[inaudible]. >> they come up and shoot us. we shoot a them and 1 day i got shot. >> which they don't get along with these guys. like i said. it's just a block away. they call this the night block. all these cats. one of these guys. get spooked. as a matter of fact. don't put that. >> music playing. >> during that time period, there was a decrease in san francisco. even though there were more people shot. there was more people being saved. once you have been shot. >> doctor campbell is the one. i got shot 8 times. one in the mouth. it knocked out 4 of my teeth and broke my bone and jaw. and put it in my jaw. i got shot here 2 or 3 times. got shot in my leg. right here. really, i was like, i am addicted to the hood. i like being there. i got shot. i got jumped. but it all started. getting shot like this. >>[inaudible]. >> and this is where the other bullet went in. it went through here. bam. and it come out the other side right here. and plus, like before i got stabbed. my brother got stabbed. >> this is a tremendously serious i

thank you for joining us in the celebration. we will have the final performance of the evening from the chinese american international school. they helped to start this celebration earlier this evening. i do not know if all of us were here but they are now returning. they will be performing for us and the beautiful traditions of the chinese new year, the alliance stance. please welcome students from the chinese american international school. -- the lion's dance. -- the lion's dance.

can you tell us about your experience? >> there were a lot of anticipation about how people would respond. at first, we had to get in front of people to direct them from their habits. early morning, they are more into carrying their coffee and going inside of the elevator and then spilling their coffee to hit the keys. we got right in front of them, stopped them and told them exactly what they had to do. that helped out a lot. the other thing that helped were the lights in the lobby would tell them where the elevator was. a lot of these systems have not done that. we were the first to do that. the nice thing is we've got less spills in the lobby, too. you get into the elevator in the morning, and somebody is standing in front of the buttons and you cannot get to it. people are fighting each other, spilling coffee and stuff, so this works out well. once you get inside, you are going to the floor that you have already decided on the outside. it really helped traffic flow and security as well. >> would you say your experience

the ambiguity around pedestrian lighting has come to ahead for us. pedestrian lighting is expected to increase in the coming years as more attention is paid to the streetscape. with the treatment by dpw, the definition of streets also bears on responsibility for pedestrians lighting. sometimes pictures help. here is a photo that shows rincon hill area. you can see a street light and to the left, a pedestrian light. this is an example of pedestrian lighting that was installed by the developer for and improve to the area. -- and then prove to the area. this is another light that is pedestrian scale. you can see the top of the light. this is a redevelopment- sponsored project. then we will have the lighting that gives you an example of the pedestrian scale lighting we are talking about. many of these projects are proposed by developers working with the city. the better street plan adoption means that any doctor who will rebuild a block or a number of blocks will be obligated to install pedestrian lighting. once the plan is in place to install it, who re

you asked us to come up with a more global view. item 12, before asking you to approve that, we wanted to get back with a larger discussion of what we are trying to do with those yards we maintain. mr. ritchie? >> steve ritchie, assistant general manager for water. the millbrae yard upgrades are on the 10-year capital plan, funded by water rates. the moccasin compound is part of the hetch hetchy budget. it has a little bit of a different character. that is one that has caused some questions here. i am going to cover all three of these facilities. first, just looking at what we are talking about are fairly old facilities. millbrae yard was established in 1900. we have 200 employees there. sunol yard also dates prior to 1900. it accommodates 30 employees on the east bay side. the moccasin compound was established in the 1920's. you have about 200 employees. between these and the least basin, this is the place where over half the water department works. the of the core of where our operation is outside of san francisco. we have a numbe

we are understanding what these models tell us or don't tell us. we will translate data that we get into a form that we can use in our downstream tools. the models that we use for the management of our system. we need to build a national collaboration and at the end of the day, we will assess the potential impact on our water supply. we have been working on building this for about a year and it will be at least a year before we have some answers. our official goal is to finish in 2011 and the unofficial goal is to get it in early 2012 because it will take a lot of different parts moving in intelligent well -- and intelligent ways for the first time. i'm hoping that we have some output on this in a year. one of the schools that we prol of our future projects -- one of the tools that we will have in this project and for all of our future projects is this model. we are nearing completion on calibration of our model. hydrology models are models of the physical processes that occur and the watershed, things like soil moisture infiltration, a separation.

would that be considered a business use or would that be an allowable use? >> i believe that is office use. >> again, that may be something that normally would be more comfortable on the ground floor where they have visibility and commercial streets and it might be beneficial. and to recommend that we at least i would like the supervisors to take a look at it and allow office use and neighborhoods serving offices as the realtor would be. president olague: it doesn't seem like that we're getting a consensus among the commissioners. and i don't know how we would address that and that would be something added to the motion we wouldn't move forward to the supervisor and if there is a will of the commissioners to accept the amendments to the motion at this time. commissioner borden? commissioner borden: i would say the past 40 years to locate in the district if they wanted to in realtors and if they haven't, they probably don't intend to do it and i would say that not a real fear and same thing with the movie theater and don't see a fear that they are dying in th

came out today and it's finally some good news at all employment unemployment is falling here in the us the cost of food is on the rise worldwide then forced to strip naked for hours alone in his cell those are just a few of the details that we're now learning about the treatment of bradley manning the military man accused of leaking u.s. secrets to wiki leaks so is this the standard treatment for somebody accused of a crime in the u.s. military we'll find out then secret mission the air force is second to launch of its own spacecraft so we really know about this plane known as x. thirty seven b. and then protests continue over plans and collective bargaining rights for union workers in several states including ohio so tonight we have an extended interview with ohio congressman dennis kucinich and at the end of the show it's happy hour so on the way you said i had a college basketball player is cut from the team for admitting that he had sex with his girlfriend stick around for that but first let's move on to our top story. could really be some positive news for the economy becoming con

you would like us to look at, please just let us know. >> commissioners. public comment. >> this is what i came here for so i'm very happy to have stayed around here for it. this is one of my major -- this is kind of like my major area of focus. i really appreciate the work that the waste water enterprise has done. you have a very long way to go. when i walked in, the conversation that commissioner moran was making are similar to those that we have had in the letter. we passed a resolution, one of the first expressed our concerns that the trend towards agreeing and low impact to the element was used and we did not want to make investments without having a specific benefit. one of the members of the technical advisory committee, which is now defunct, which is from seattle public utilities. they have a cost benefit model that they have been using for more than a decade. i don't think that the task force is really the model that you are looking for. this is really a watershed council that you need. he will start with the council that has representatives on th

we were using those facilities. we do anticipate that as the program grows -- this summer, we have 100 applications in 436 openings. as a program grows, we will begin to branch out and use some of the clubhouses in the local area. >> it just strikes me, because it is a program run out of rec and park, you can use our facilities. we have a number of clubhouses that i know nicole was talking about. currently, it is not being run out of any of our properties. so the idea is the eventually, you will get the building refurbished, usable, and then issue a lease with a nonprofit, but we are a couple of years out from doing that. >> probably four years. >> so the purpose of this presentation is to update us? >> this was properly we took on in 2004. it seems like a lot of you have not heard about it, so i wanted to update you on the progress that was made as well as the work at the organization is doing. >> so we have seen potential programming and you are in the quiet phase of the capital campaign to put it together. >> tha

nobody gave us a better. gagne thank you very much for joining us and he would talk about the earthquake in japan whether it was possible to avoid such death though and what they had einstein you've made some controversial predictions in terms of future earthquakes what exactly are they what are they based on almost all international players. i think that there is no direct connection between the earthquake in japan and earthquakes that has happened on our territory with his latest one is one of the major events in the chain of earthquakes that recently happened on the planet you will remember the earthquake on sumatra in two thousand and four is a major quake magnitude nine point five it was huge a major loss of life and tsunami etc then there were a number of other earthquakes in india where people also died in china with a magnitude of eight and finally in chile last year eight point eight and now this earthquake in japan with a magnitude on heard of before in this country nine as you can see the process i

so us uncut as i think you know primarily they use the internet and in social media to mobilize people who are looking for a home looking for a place where they can plug into something bigger most of our members. our are people that are part of community organizations that day in and day out are fighting for better conditions in there and they gave us the time and space here they are saying well our members are all volunteers and our leadership in fact is all volunteers just people us ordinary people you know teachers and policemen nurses but we do have professional organizers that help them. organize a status thing yesterday you guys went after bank of america you went to capitol hill and you you know went after speaker john boehner what about barack obama world do you think he might in office you know. the broke obama presidency i think a lot of us would say that it has not lived up to the to the obama campaign. and you know. the i think that you know barack obama probably wakes up every night with been cold sweats worried about you know a double dip double dip recession or that this

loucas: a lot of people who use exfoliating products will use masks or they'll use exfoliating scrubs that often contain granules. y'know, i think both are fine, both do work, i just would recommend that people don't exfoliate on a daily basis. keep it to once or twice a week, because i think what happens is people need to know is that your skin has essential oils on it and if you exfoliate on a daily basis or frequently and it's in the middle of the winter for instance and there's dry heat in your house you'll you'll end up taking those essential oils off your skin and actually cause more damage and harm than good. so i think you need to find that balance and if you're not sure where that balance is, visiting your local dermatologist wouldn't be a bad idea to kind of get a baseline of where you stand. dixon: exfoliation allows for new cells to grow beneath and replace the dead layer above. the skin cells below then regenerate. in the past, makeup was often a contributing problem toward the process of healthy skin regeneration. cole: well, makeup has changed from the past that makeup

if you use it, you pay for it.t have been elected and say they hate taxes, i do not know how we are going to function unless we spent something. at the end of the day, this is there. -- if you doing not operate on the road, you do not pay for them. d.c. with transit and everything else. you have to get in to these offices during your time here. if you go into and say, we know times are tough, if you could hold us to the safety levels, that is not. you have to go in and say this is an important thing. gas prices are expected to hit $5. how are we going to move people? hourly going to build america? how're we going to put people back to work unless you have a robust street in the transportation sector. [applause] if you do not do that, you will get what you get. you will live -- limp along and you will see people laid off across the country. you will see a thing not in a state of good repair. you can change that during this visit of the hill. when you visit with them, this really matters. a lot of us, we talk about t

there is no way to miss us. the most thing is safety. i always make sure that everyone knows what they are doing. before we go on the tour, the training is so thorough, if i ever feel someone does not understand or if there is a problem, or will not be safe on the tour, we ask that they do not go on the door and we give them a refund. the main thing that we stress, besides safety and informing, is safety. supervisor mar: i think you were my trainer. >> i was. i hope i trained you well. my name is tracy roberts, a resident of the haight-ashbury district. i often visit the park, not only for taurus, but walking through with my dog, and experiencing as a pedestrian. i have experienced firsthand, working with a lot of people with disabilities. like mary said, if they do not passed training, if they are not comfortable, they are happy not to do so. we are happy to invite everyone with disabilities if they're able to before the scheduled tour to try it out to see if they are comfortable with it. four instances really stand out to me in my expe

any of us do that. in an era when native plants are valued, i think that it is something we should value and not look at getting rid of a place like hanc. it is not about the golden gate park mission and vision. i think it is a thinly veiled political attack on hanc as well as issues with homelessness. i urge you to keep the hanc recycling center and made a plant nursery. it is an important service to the center, and it is important to the community. thank you. supervisor mirkarimi: thank you. before the next speaker speaks, i want to read more names for people to file into the center aisle here. >> good morning, supervisors. i'm a third generation and have a tent, a resident of the haight. when he finishes talking, i want to thank supervisor mirkarimi. i want to thank you for your questions and your active mind, working through all these recycling statistics. it was very informative, and i have not heard any of those things before. i want to say three things, and i have heard this because we have had o

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.

it is an honor for us to have you with us today. we are grateful to be joined today by members of congress. i wish to thank the aspen institute for bringing us together today, and in particular to walter isaacson. it is an honor to be able to welcome the members of the aspen institute community here to a georgetown barracks -- to georgetown. i would also like to thank students at the georgetown university lecture fund for helping the staff this event. i wish to welcome andrea mitchell, the lottery -- the moderator of today house conversation. this gives us an opportunity to reflect on the changes of our world since 2001, and the ways in which the united states government has responded. later this year we will observe the 10th anniversary of the terrorist attacks on the world trade center and the pentagon. in response to these attacks, congress created the department of homeland security to be led by the secretary, a member of the president's cabinet. the creation of the department united 22 agencies across they say the branch, makin

for us. let me say some things about her that may not have been said. if mary told that the redevelopment -- told you that the redevelopment regulations said a certain thing, she was never wrong. she knew what she was talking about. all of that material that the agency would send you, mary actually read all of that. i did not read it. she read it word for word, line for line. if it were not for mary rodgers, what you see in this community -- yes, we talk about the out- migration of african americans, i would like to remind the redevelopment agency -- since i have the microphone -- that it took a lot of money and an entire agency to the black people out of here. i would like to say to the agency and city officials, it will take an agency and money to keep african-americans and get some back in here. this is america and you cannot do it for free. that is what mary would tell you. she would give you her favorite line right now. she would say -- let's make sure that we do not have different strok

, i was on this board when we used to hear conditional uses and we heard environmental review appea that makes me feel really old. i am really old. thank you. this issue has come up and -- and based upon my interpretation of the charter, and i know that perhaps the city attorney's office may disagree with me on that -- i don't think it's so clear cut that a conditional use eliminates all aspects of the permits from review by this particular body. but at the same time, the appellant also had other options. there were other options for review. highly technical ones for the building commission. the gio technical aspects of it are appealable to the building commission, who does not have some of the same, i believe, perhaps apply to this body, who was targeted in some of the charter revisions. the -- and i can think of instances where a certain type of conditional use, perhaps, has zero correlation or nexus to a particular permit. i'm not sure what that nexus may be in this particular mansion? . we have no idea of the full range of language that was used in the reviews. we have the planning d
