if folks want to work with member reggio on the work plan reach out. we will move to the next liaison. shelter. member friedenbach. >> this looks different. ken put me to shame here because his is so much more detailed. basic idea. the thing with the shelter and hygiene. i was doing an analysis for unspent moneys. 97% of the shelter funding is up and running or is about to be. like the r.v. park in the bayview. what that means on this category there is going to be -- not as much play in terms of doing different things with the money. we maxed out. we have the staff sleeping villages which are scheduled to end in a staggered situation except for the one on golf which is going to turn into like a tiny home, more permanent. point is we will have a little play there. the city is also recommending moving the folks from the safe sleeping villages into a new site on post. they had the community meeting for last night. i wanted to preface that with this. i am puttings the goals down there is not a lot of money to work with on them. basically, you know, develop

he is now working.ut he is still underemployed because he cannot find anything to match what he was doing. now he is working part-time and he had a few job offers in between but they were all for very low wages. nothing that would enable us to meet the demands we have now with our mortgage and everything. host: what kind of work, if i may ask, did your husband do? caller: he was an operations professional and finance. host: i imagine, as far as the market for that kind of job, it is not a large market or because you said some of the offers he got maybe were not matching the salary that he got before? caller: he started looking in other areas outside of finance because operations is kind of confusing. it is a very big field and every company has an operations. he started looking outside of finance and those were the jobs he was getting offered but it was for one dollar over minimum wage. host: if i may ask, what type of work does he do now? caller: right now proctoring exams. it is kind of anybody with m

i say this as a working mother. the needs of working mothers are so important. caregiving and anyone's time is valuable, whether you are a working mother or single or a single parent, but all of our time is valuable and having children is a very -- reason you have to go home, but sometimes you have to go home because you have a life and that should be respected. >> time is a universal constraint we all bump up against. there is so much to do to put it into any sort of livable schedule. >> sometimes lawmakers and businesses have to be reminded of why something that sounds good morally is also good economically. can you remind us why? >> sure. many ways. talking about paid leave, beneficial from an economic standpoint, and in places -- periods of leave, more women are connected to the labor force, but it is important for kids and infants outcomes to take people when they are two weeks old. it is an economic and moral issue. hard to put into a box, both an issue of women's work and child development and how we ensure that children have access to environments for th

is purposeful when you're able to work to get back to work.ge in the community and relationships, it helps in your own personal well-being as well as your productivity in the workforce. what should those income limits be? >> i am happy to jump in. the ssi restoration act would restore as a its original provisions. inflation since 1972 is four times or five times as high as the 1972 levels so that's one way of looking at it. another way of looking at it is thinking about what do we know not that we didn't know in 1972? what are our goals now? do we want to encourage work? do we want to make sure who -- people who do work can support themselves? there's sometimes a time when you can earn an unlimited amount and test out your ability to work without fear of losing benefits or health care coverage. contemplating other changes like that could really encourage people to work especially young people. people who are aging out of the child benefits and getting a start in the labor market, giving them that opportunity. >> as i talked individuals on ssi

i worked for united, worked for the nether lands and royal dutch government. for the united states government. investigating cases that i would say most investigators will never have to deal with. mass murder, atrocities. very difficult things to see. i often talk about what i saw and how it affected me. piles of dead kids are pretty dead to deal with. worse is when you see dead children with eyes still open. i say that to indicate the kind of person i am. multi link gal. bilingual in spanish. speak other languages that are relevant. european languages. [indiscernable] i speak russian. law enforcement in the city. our city can provide a global model for the future of law enforcement. that is why i seek this appointment and intend to accomplish. i will add a couple more little things i said to others when i sent out an e-mail about my desire to serve in this capacity. i believe policing in america is obsolete. police institutions are 19th century. it needs modernized and changed in many, many ways. it may sound strange. barcelona showed us how to do this. they

but we clearly have work to do, it's not just the federal government work, it's all of us working collectively together. that means industry, business, government we need to continue to work together. >> so if i heard you correctly, and i don't want to put words in your mouth, it sounds like your message to congress and to congressional democrats negotiating over the reconciliation bill. get it done sooner rather than later, the sense of urgency is now? >> you're gonna get me in trouble but that is what we need in america right now. those bills -- whatever the number is in the reconciliation package, whatever that number is, i don't remember any other time in the history of our country, that we have made and investment in the cares economy, and childcare, and health care, job training that's gonna come out of that bill. >> let me try to get you into trouble some more. [laughs] >> i really appreciate it thank. you >> a couple of times you have mentioned your previous job. that was mayor of boston. now you are the secretary of labor. you are the first former union leader to run the labor departm

all of the work to support, all of the work in the office of space commerce will support space traffic coordination as you just asked about. presently building on the strong foundation established by the department of defense, the office of space commerce developed and requested congress a prototype space situational awareness system to support civil and commercial space obligations and we are now deeply in the process of preparing for an operational system from the prototype in collaboration with our interagency partners and importantly in collaboration with the commercial industrial space sector and that over the next several years we believe we will be able to make the leap between the prototype and the commercial systems which will be incredibly important for space traffic and coordination. >> thank you madam secretary. and to emphasize the importance of the role of the department of commerce i will next introduce the secretary of transportation between the two agencies, we covered the launch and activities and the coordination you may think of historically how you think of the faa

back to work. i never put two and two together mentioned in the press release that there's no artist yet. a week later or so my publisher called me making sure i saw the press release and strongly encouraged me to try out for the job up until then, it was like a collaborative process within the other writers ever worked with. he got me in touch with congressman lewis and gave me sample pages of the script and i drew them he gave me notes to edit and i redrew them two weeks later we realized we just clicked and we never looked back. there are -- my bouncing between realistic and representational parts back and packing detail but also in expressive intuitive storytelling helped bridge a lot of the approach between having a more objective historical account told in a subjective first person perspective on the ground where history is happening but distinctly from one person's perspective. >> and/or is getting a firsthand interview but you have to somehow create a visual manifestation of this story and

but it does not work.ad a number as we were doing the bill, i can't remember how many tens of thousands of miles we will build in the inner cities in the last 30 years, and they are more congested than ever. people have to look at these viable alternatives. the other key thing we are going to need, like in the case with virginia, is cooperation with the freights. we have the greatest freight network in the world and we don't want to jeopardize that. it is the second most efficient way to move cargo after water. we want to encourage it, but the point is the law is pretty clear. preference over freight transportation except in emergency. using the rail line junction crossing unless under this subsection. obviously that has not been observed and that is of concern. if the trains get longer and longer, i got funds to help build siding so we could move trains more efficiently. it takes over three hours, 110 miles. now the length of the trains are going to be too long for the signing. there has got to be some co

but it doesn't work. you know, i had a number as we do in the bill, i can't remember how many tens of thousands of miles that were built in our inner cities in the last 30 years, and they are more congested than ever. we've got to look at these sort of viable alternatives. but the other key thing we're going to need like happened in the case with virginia is cooperation with the freights. you know, we -- you know, we're -- we have the greatest freight network in the world. and we don't want to jeopardize that. it's the second most efficient way to move cargo after water. so we want to move -- you know, we want to encourage it. and but -- but the point is, you know, the law is pretty clear. preference over freight transportation, except in an emergency, inner city and commuter rail passenger transportation provide forward amtrak has preference over freight, transportation and using the rail line junction crossing unless the board orders otherwise under this subsection. well, obviously that has not been obs

hosts can work together. law has to be enforced. >> thank you. ms. white? >> thank you congressman. it is we work on the line if they -- that enables us to acquire that line from csx. we'll be looking to the iij age for those funds to build an infrastructure that allows freight and passenger. i think you've done the work and we appreciate it. >> thank you and ms. demartino i apologize if you could submit your answer i very much appreciated. i yield back after chairman. >> the gentleman yields back. next we have mr. burchett for five minutes. >> thank you mr. chairman as i emstated to you privately i have your wardrobe. mr. gardner your testimony mentionedm amtrak's ridership is 65 to 70% of what it was before covid 19. when do you expect that to happen? >> thank you to that question congressman. we are as i saidhi working hardo grow new writers and we certainly do hope to get in the high 70s or 80% of our pre-covid ridership this year as we were store our service over the course of the year but it's going to

then we could begin work on working with the host railroad, working with amtrak to look and see what the possibilities are, what the capacity constraints are, what the potential ridership would be between nashville and memphis. and on the surface, that sounds like a great service and one we should definitely look at. >> thank you, i appreciate it. that's a great idea for tennessee to join with the southern group and just add to it rather than trying to create their own. >> that's right. >> the governor would need to initiate that, i presume? >> yes, sir. the governor, legislatures of mississippi, alabama, louisiana, would have to vote to invite the state of tennessee and the legislature of the state of tennessee would have to vote to join. >> that could happen. >> i think it can happen. it's been pretty simple. but i think the main thing about that type of project is having something like the southern rail commission, it works across administrations. we've been working on our gulf -- >> let me switch real quick, i appreciate it, but my time is about out, i got 30 seconds. mr. gardner

>> it will be ongoing work.he next, i think the next significant step is that the assembly, which is coming up next august and there will be work on going between now and then. >> in your testimony you noted plans to update the faa policies in order to prevent fraud in the self certification process. how can we trust the updated self certification process will not lead to big causing shortcuts that endanger passengers? >> senator, i've made it very clear from day one that safety cannot be compromised. it has to be our top priority. and we have to make sure both within the agency and those that we oversee, that business pressures, production pressures, operational pressures do not overcome safety, and so that is what we are all about, making sure that we use the information that we get from our workforce, that they do the same thing to drive beneficial transparency and safety improvements. >> do you agree this is a bill -- do you believe the cargo pilots should operate under the same rules as commercial airline p

i worked together on this issue. we are working with our colleagues to defeat this problem.. >> i appreciate the indulgence and i will follow-up with you on what they specifically are doing and whether it is an item a priority and secretary nichols, thanks again for your personal involvement on the issue. >> thank you, senator portman. senator mccain. >> thank you madam chair and to the witnesses for your service i want to talk about two things. columbia and the northern triangle. i agree on the position the first thing we should do is make sure we have strong relations with our allies and shore up democracies. unlike some of my colleagues, i don't have a problem with the biden administrations of the listing of farc. today's the fifth anniversary of the peace deal that was done between the administration and farc, and i would hope that virtually everyone on the committee would view that as a historic achievement. i think the u.s. deserves some significant credit. we were involved in those negotiations. and i think the delisting essentially the five-year anniversary of the pe

it's hard work. but we have gotten down to work and i think we're going to make a big difference. tom: thank you. if i could stick with you just for another question, both of you mentioned the need to cooperate with china and of course we've seen back from the e.u., china's strategy the division of the relationship into partnership, competition and systemic rivalry. madam deputy secretary this year the biden administration has made efforts to engage with beijing on shared interest and the message from beijing for the most part has been that the relationship overall needs to be adjusted particularly with regard to u.s. investments to china and sensitive topics before that dwoption would be forthcoming. could you talk to us a little bit about the difficulty in successfully compartmentalizing the relationship and what does that tell us about the ability of the u.s. and e.u. to balance competition with china with cooperation on these shared challenges. wendy: i think, you know, countries make their public statement. i look at what we do and what the actions are speaking about the natu

change their work life balance. the pandemic game, they went to change. the majority of those workers are working in low income jobs, they are not making a lot of money. there are a lot of people including myself who had a lot of time to have dinner at the kitchen table at 5:00 like i did as a kid. we were not coming up, staying home, protecting ourselves and a lot of people started to evaluate where they were in their life and i think it was an opportunity here. the federal government, state government, local government make investments to help people better themselves so the next career they decide to go into, he actually have an opportunity to get into the middle class. i spent seven years as the mayor of boston. i spent a lot of time thinking about the black community and latino community and my poor white community and how do we make life better for people who are paying rent, do not own a home, do not have any prospect of owning a home raising a family. it came down to workforce development, making more invest

i also felt lucky to work with poets whose work on the page already admired.rt they are bringing to the page back to the good spirits in the world. the foundation chooses the jurors. i said yes before knowing who i would be working. when i saw the names, i was as excited as tom cruise. i knew i could not have chosen a finder group of poets if i chose and then myself. i want to thank john choi who was a quiet storm of wisdom. natalie diaz who brought her deeply insightful voice to every meeting. harvey who always led the way both with her pics and with her openness and intuitiveness. kaminski who always caught anything we missed along the way. not only with his attention to detail but also his big generous heart. for all of their hard work and their generosity and for their deep emotional maturity throughout this process. i want to thank them. we are so proud to present to you our finalists for this year's national book award. they are what noise against the king. desiree c bailey yale university press. floaters homes. ww norton and company. show. douglas. 1000

and so what we are trying to do now is work with our clients to work differently and to work faster. david: how do you charge? do you charge by the hour, by the project? is it a cost plus profit thing? what's the secret of your billing? julie: so our preference is to either have a fixed fee or have something that shares upside or downside. and the reason for that is that we don't view ourselves as a vendor or a consultant in that we are keeping ourselves at arm's length. we believe that the best way to get success is to co-create solutions, have integrated teams. the advice i often will give ceos is that our team at accenture and the clients' teams should have the exact same performance objectives, so that they're completely aligned. now, not every client is willing to work that way, but we think it's really important. and so we have plenty of clients that want to bill by the hour, and that's their choice, but that's not our preference. david: so let's suppose somebody hires your firm, and you have a one-year consulting project. and at the end, they say, i don't like this consulting

tree pruning and removal work.articular we found an arborist apprenticeship program the goal of which is to develop a pipeline of apprentices to promote the arborist technician position has not filled any of its apprenticeship positions since the inception of the program. and currently street tree sf seeks a 3 to 1 ratio of arborist to apprentices as required by the state board of apprentices and were all the apprenticeships to be hired as a court . however given the programs hiring challenges it is not likely the program will be able to hire a sufficient number of arborist technicians to establish the appropriate ratio and cohort size so our recommendation for this action were that the superintendent of urban forestry should work with the department of human resources to develop a recruitment for 34 arborist technicians at a specific to the department of public works and also to restructure the arborist apprenticeship program such as revising the cohort size of our firsttechnician, the apprentices and training sch

i live and work in san francisco. i work at the coalition of homelessness. i am calling on the city to release funds. they are available to provide housing. life saving services. i just want to emphasize the failure to spend this money has devastating health impacts even before the pandemic. the average life expectancy for people living on the street was 36 years shorter of the general population. since then there are a surge of deaths among the unhoused people. delaying the spending of the funds is putting people's lives at risk. i call on the city to release the funds as quickly as you can. thank you. >> before we call the next speaker. if you are lining up to speak, system prompt will indicate you have raised your hand be. that means you are in line to speak. after that wait until the system indicates you are unmuted to begin your comments. any more speakers? >> [speaking spanish]. >> we are timing each speaker for one minute. >> good afternoon, committee. i am an immigrant mother of two kids. i have been living in the streets in shelters for five years.

>> so we're working with d.p.h., who's working with the providers. adrian, are you able to answer more specifically some of the folks that will be providing services. this is adrian dekelly, and she's the closest pulling the plan together. >> sure. good evening, honorable members of the board. right now, we are working with department of public health, homelessness, and supportive housing. our intention is to utilize the full community provider network that we already have on contract. as you know, we're trying to expedite this as quickly as possible, and so we are in specific negotiations with some of those providers. i don't want to speak to that at this point -- >> president walton: not to interrupt you, but this question is not necessarily about contracting, but it really is specifically to the note that it was mentioned that everyone is working with providers, and i'm just curious which providers, community-based organizations, nonprofits, have stood out in support of this proclamation. >> we also have an additional community stakeholder working

is working on this report. it is a very strange upside down media landscape when a quick google search reveals 19 separate articles on a housing project on stevenson street while zero addresses the issues that we are addressing today. but that said, i do have a couple of questions about the report that was presented, and through the chair, thank you for your work on this. i was curious why all the various income levels, 120 and up, are put in that one category -- well, let's just start on that. i'm curious why it's reported in that way. >> it was: admin code asked us to report by the four rhna categories, and that's what we did, and everything is categorized in four rhna categories. everyone that makes up to median income is lumped in that category. >> supervisor preston: and thank you for clarifying that. that's based on the rhna and how the code directs it, but it leaves me wondering, when we look at -- some of the findings around, like, total production of the last decade, and we have 53,000 affordable, righ

and i thought maybe you could speak a little bit to bob's work, in response to bob's work especially context of the word on national book is and is national contribution to it. >> sure. just the idea of what -- thank you -- what a national book is, it's not really like a domestic prize in the same way you're celebrating the best american literature. celebrating -- i think you really want to think about books that catch the imagination of readers that tell us what we need to know, that go beyond the superficial, that push literature for word. so for me it's not like the ones we are honored whether they were long listed or finalists or winners which i o always understood to be on the same because everyone in america won't like it but if you pick 40 books or 50 books which we had in the end when you had a translation that was was going to be one thing for a young person or for an adult or somebody who loves nonfiction for someone who preferred poetry. that wouldan be something that m sure i could hit a nerve in the readers heart. the intersectionf bob's work. he won the contribution to

we are working on those. we have achieved currently 15 out of 19 of the time-limited items but there are others that this work will go on for some period of time with the rulemaking and the surveys that we just talked about. so there will be a continuous improvement process as we go forward. >> so you don't see an end to data because you plan on those other four areas to have a continuous process? >> one was the expert panel for the review of the transport category. that required some work with the labor partners that took a couple of months and then we had to determine and for solicitation out for the industry participants to comport with the requirements and the law and that kind of work is ongoing. it takes a while to do that right about we are fully committed to doing it and we will see the results of that work very soon. >> thank you. it also directs the development of better understanding of the human factors when certifying aircraft and the bill specifically requires the faa youtube account those of al

we don't just work as law enforcement deputies in the street, we don't just work in the justice system with justice involved persons, but we're there with them for long period of times, in the health care facilities. we establish relationships, and relationships we hope to leverage in reaching out to people and making sure that they have support and access to services, as mary ellen mentioned, as the chief mentioned, as the mayor mentioned. our commitment is what you get from us at the sheriff's office, and in collaboration with the rest of city leadership, we look forward to this. our staff members, people that have been dedicated to public safety for their careers, it was mentioned by the chief that a lot of us are working overtime. we're understaffed, we're underutilized, and we're working overtime to get things done. the commitment that we have here, we have to make sure we have what we need. thank you, madam mayor. >> the hon. london breed: thank you. that was a lot of information to process, and we'll be providing additional information through our communications team, and at thi

tremendous work. it's been a pleasure working with her. i too have done the work i've done without her in her up coming department. really good work that she's done. we had 190 requests for the month of october. 133 were completed and, again, the numbers we request doesn't mean the numbers watch the 33. but mostly roof and electrical. the numbers have a request. and as you recall from the last meeting. we had a significant rainstorm and that shows some issues to station seven multiple leaks and the process of hopefully being remodeled. will have some issues with rains and we prepare those leaks. 43 and 48. so we do find our aging facilities show their age and we continue to work that. so this is why the easter bond project, the money that we can properly manage will stay for other stations. a lot of work happening during that storm. station 35 update. so the connection work on december 2nd, however, when they did that, we found there was a leak on the gas main that runs on the pier. so as of today, stations 35 because they have no gas. the

or go work in hospital. and he ended up taking a lower paying job at a hospital because he said this lhospital is not going anywhere. and i followed him through two plant closings. i don't know that that factory is going to remain so people are sort of basically ended up saying the thing i devoted my life todoesn't have a future . so i better be on at the eahospital. hospitals, healthcare is the new factory. that's the new place where blue-collar people could actually earn a living wage and could make a pretty good job around without going back to college or going to get a lot more education. i have to say go ahead. >> not to sound overly bleak but just it really makes a clear point out the death and disease have become a commodity. or is any kind of product in industry because there's such, so you and i were in our 40s and your subjects are in their 40s but everybody around them is dying. and it's just a very different life than as you point out in yourbook , kind bof elderly relatives had passed away. one

you working there. the issue of sexual assault i think is the next area where you need to spend some time. i'm not sure -- i would also say it is also clear the coast guard has many, many missions and very hard to meet all of those missions. this one, oversight of other vessels and those vessels and what they are doing, particularly when we're putting young women on those vessels to do research, basically they are students and now they are on these vessels. i just want to go back to this issue of the accounts we've had by kings ship midshipman, questions about the investigations of u.s. flag ships. i know there are fines. you can i know there's fines. you can issue fines. but i want to know whether you believe that we need a more aggressive enforcement plan of sexual assaults at sea and the actions that should be taken when we hear of or find incidents. >> madam chair, i absolutely think it's abhorrent behavior. we have had ten cases -- we have had five cases over ten years. there's not a lot of cases.
