i work at the marriott for 29 years. i work as a attendant. i am on strike because i believe that one job should be enough to have a dignified life to pay our rent and our bills and to be able to help out family. we live in this city with the cost of living is very, very expensive. what many ask is not enough to cover our needs. many of us have to work two or three jobs just to survive. we leave our homes very early and we come back very late. we don't have time for our families or for ourselves. our children and grandchildren are growing and we don't have time for them. sometimes i feel so bad when i see my co-workers. they live far, far away and they need to two hours to come to the city to make his day. marriott is one of the richest corporations in the world. we know they can make us just one job to be. it's time for marriott to take responsibility and sign our contract. thank you. >> one job should be enough. >> next speaker. >> good afternoon. my name is myers. i work at the marriott marques hotel for four years. i am a san francisco res

are we all done working? >> it's not that we're done working, what we're done with is doing work that we have to do to survive or to get by. the world i describe is one which more and more people get up, ecstatic about going to work . because work is where they showcase their intelligence and their unique skills. this is totally unlike the past. >> what was the past? >> if you go back hundred 50 years ago you know what your life was going to be . you were going to work once you were able six days a week, the dust on a farm. matter if you love it or hate it, it was about survival. all human effort, even in a rich country like the uswas arrested for the creation of food . and these robots came along. tractor, fertilizer, all these technological advances that make it possible or exponentially fewer people work on the farm. these were the biggest job destroyers in the history of mankind but as opposed to putting people out of work, and read all this previously suffocated towns to focus their energies on new thing

i work for the hotel. i am a janitor. i have to work two jobs. to be able to pay for my bills and my rent. i can't pay for healthcare coverage. my daughter has gone to the university and it is going to be harder for me with just one job. >> kirk. >> i've worked for marriott for 23 years. i was at the stanford court for 18 years, i thought i would retire there. in 2013 i was laid off so i had to look for another marriott job to stay with the company. i knew a manager at another marriott so i went to work for them, luckily. after three months, i lost my healthcare. i started getting letters for cobra, which is not cheap, as you well know. but luckily i did get a job. the marriott, i've worked for marriott for a long time. i know they can afford this. the healthcare is important, especially here in san francisco. with my brothers and sisters this strike has been tough. one job should be enough. thank you. >> good afternoon. my name is candy and i work for the san francisco for 16 years being a supervisor. i strike marriott because i have to give up

work hard and you'll be rewarded. at least that's what they say working hard is a virtue and we're encouraged to give it our all around the clock if need be. but is that true is work is modern life a meritocracy after all celebrities earn vast amounts by trading on their image actor george clooney for instance two hundred thirty nine million dollars a year and reality show star kylie jenner earns one hundred sixty six million but what exactly is their achievement. want to they contribute in social or economic terms. and what about captains of industry is their work truly worth the huge sums they receive bill mcdermott took in twenty one million euros in twenty seventeen he's the c.e.o. of software company s.a.p and the talk among heads of germany's blue chip companies so does that mean that mcdermott put in a thousand times more work than a factory labor. did he help a thousand more people than a nice. who says we're paid what we're worth. for many today the idea of meritocracy seems a myth believe between our perform

the work so you can have a comparison of the work work that is being done in making sure that the contractors who are bidding on it are giving you their assessments are typically the lower builder darth vader is accepted and all the work is documented by getting create copies of invoices and copies of cancelled checks to make sure the money that is spent is according to the original contract and work is not being inflated unnecessarily. >> that is good to know. is very typical limit of time that tenants have two endure disruptive construction. >> the amount of time that a construction project takes is typically regulated by how long the permit lasts and the owner can go ahead and get additional permits if it is necessary to extend the time on the original permit. >> again, to the nature of the past, can you -- have you been keeping up with the operations and maintenance of the reforms that were passed here at the board of supervisors class. >> absolutely. >> do you understand why the legislation was passed? >> absolutely. >> okay. based on the trends of what's happening in the larger rent-con

what has worked? what hasn't? what works in the north but doesn't work in the south. you have different, you know, climate challenges. what works in middle america? what works in the coast? these are all very interesting challenges. only by bringing the groups together can you get the kind of information sharing you want to get out of it. it's also meant as we look to do mapping, we have a group of people we can go to and say what have you been doing on mapping? some states have really just knocked it out of the park with their work going forward. i've said it before and i'll say it minnesota. >> yeah. we got an opportunity. >> yeah. we had a chance to talk to dana who is at the minnesota department and minnesota has taken a leadership role in trying to attack the challenge of how do we bring broadband to every minnesotan. they're far down the path of doing so. these are the kinds of people we want to partner with. >> minnesota put together not only a visualization of the counties and cities there, but they've used that for direct resource funding of projects where, y

scanlon: i'm not going to washington to work on anything new the issues i'm working on is a public interest lawyer are the reasons i want to go to washington under the new administration with what is going on in congress we see the impacts on the ground every day particularly on issues of immigration in public education and health care so that the things i have been working on and i have more specific things along with 107 other people to work on electoral and government reform with three different areas in finance reform to make sure everyone who is eligible to vote can do so and to make sure the role of government like disclosing tax returns so that it actually happens those are general areas i want to work on those are specifics but the health department has been trying to outlaw tobacco - - tobacco flavored with fruit it's causing kids to become cigarette addicts. >> host: the next topic. this question starts with mary gay scanlon what do you think of the trump administrations approach to immigration for example, the travel ban or border protection or separating families? please be spec

we have work cut out for us. history works against us. we have challenges in the suburban area and we will work harder to bring it back. >> nancy pelosi in winning back the majority now since she should be the next speaker of the house. mr. mccarthy: that's a question for her conference. they wanted to delay the election. there are a number of members that pledged they would not vote for her. only time will tell. i question what their agenda was and what they run on. -- what they won on. you just cannot resist. i raised the point about unemployment. in the last 49 years, unemployment has only been below 4% 11 months. six of those 11 months you just lived through. not one democrat voted for that tax bill in the house or senate. they want to repeal it and want to remove i.c.e. and impeach the president. i don't think that's the agenda that america wants to see. they want us to work together to solve our biggest problems and see that the next century is the american century and will work with any democrat who has that same goal. >> [inaudibl

work. is that a fair characterization? mr. lawrence: it's frustrating for all of us, not just you, and we know it's frustrating for veterans. i.t. is no doubt part of what we do, it's very complicated thing we're undertaking, the analogy of the carburetor, i.t. plays a large component but it's a group effort. mr. takano: what part is i.t. and what part is the group? mr. lawrence: the group, we obviously have to translate requirements into things for the coders to do so we need to make sure those are right. we've got to run the tests carefully, we've got to review tests and make sure we understand the different scenarios and get the i.t. right. mr. takano: so it's not antiquated machinery, it's not -- mr. lawrence: it's all part of it. mr. takano: so it's -- there were project management components. but ultimately it's i.t. all in the realm of i.t., whether it's personnel related to i.t. or the machines are out of date or the misguidance given to your contractor. so given that it's all in th

your work is extraordinary. this is so exciting and senator weiner and i often disagreed but not on this one. this is just the best program. it was so sorely needed for so long and i couldn't be more supportive and excited about it. thank you for your extraordinary work. >> thank you very much. >> i know, supervisor alkalis was working something on this quite likely. i think there was a san francisco version of my part in his him. [laughter] >> i want to echo great thanks. i do have a couple questions. with all of this contracting going on in these new arborists coming in and this work being done, it strikes me that there may be a quality control issue. how do you monitor quality and ensure that you are using good arborists and how do members of the public who have concerns about quality best express that? >> that's a great question. is very important to us. the whole purpose of this program is to ensure better quality and standards of care for many of the trees. i do want to recognize that there are property ow

and work three hours, right? >> supervisor safai: absolutely. >> president cohen: and another question about facilitators, i believe there's some kind of certification. is there a certifying entity? >> supervisor safai: well, i know that the department of the environment and many entities that work with them, i gave the example in affordable housing, the group green streets, they work with residents to train them to do this work in the building service industry, they have staff that work with the janitors' union that work with them and train them and get them ready. the department of the environment has trainers that go out exclusively in the industry. so some of this has to do with safety and all different aspects that pertain to the job, and understanding the rules and regulations of what goes where and how things are sorted and so on and so forth. >> president cohen: all right. so i'm going to go back to the amendment before you, page 4, lines 5, and also page 6, lines 23,024. zero waste facilitator means a pe

it's been the crux of their work. we've done a lot of work in the past year activating commons. as you can see in these slides. back in 2016, we were focused on lunch-time concerts and our holiday concerts. we'll release the schedules soon. the concerts will be along the van ness corridor. we continue to lead the civic center plaza tree-lighting event and just a little plug for this year, it's wednesday, december 5th and the dancing christmas trees are confirmed f i'll leave you with our dispatch information for the office. thank you. >> thank you so much. and actually when you do your central markets presentation, i may ask you about both c.b.d.s together. >> sounds good. >> thank you. >> i'm so sorry. supervisor brown has a question. >> yes. >> so, i know when you talk about safety and having all the services go out for the homeless individuals, one of the things that i've been noticing and the neighborhood and hayes valley is because of the, you know, the comments in that area has been cleaned up a lot and i love it. it's beautiful. what is happening in hayes valley is they f

we will continue to work with public works on streamlining that. if it doesn't work it is more evidence for us in terms of moving forward to get our own internal people to reparish our facilities which is part of the strategic plan as well. we are trying to work with them. if it doesn't work, then we have our case. the bureau equipment is busy. handed 60 plus field repairs plus services and materials. they get 150 phone calls at the boe every day. they are quite busy. in terms of facilities, i will just weigh in on the training facility as well. as the chief mentioned, we did speak with city administrator naomi kelly today, and in terms of the size that is in -- the size of the facility, combined facility 19th and fulsome and treasure island. that does not include driver training which we do on the streets in treasure island which we will lose. that could be another need that we would have. also, with the training facility in terms of in my opinion it would be an honor if our facility were a regional training facility and that other departments did

the other ban is cardboard from the merchants and we have worked closely with public works to educate and enforce and get those numbers down. it is cardboard so i don't think it can be sorted. i understand the reason behind this legislation. i think it has good merit in terms of improving the recycling goals and their personal experience. the flood building, we ask that retailers and tenants on the above floors to recycle, and compost. then we also hire a company called tool works. these are development illegally disabled individuals who work every day to resort the trash again. we have saved money through providing that service and do the right thing. i think that the goals of this are good. again, please include our band. we are good partner with the city just like the unified school district. we are trying to work with the city to keep the area clean. thank you. >> hello, good afternoon. i'm with the building owners and managers. we represent high-rise building owners. mostly office and retail. nice to see you all again. to be clear, our members to engage refuse orders, but they do

work. is that a fair characterization? >> a couple comments. it's frustrating for all of us, not just you and that site of the table. we know it's frustrating for veterans. everybody is working very hard. i.t. is no doubt part of what we do is very complicated thing that we're undertaking the analogy of the carburetor. i.t. plays a large component but it's a group effort. >> wait a minute. what parts i.t. and what part is the group? the group effort is we have to translate the requirements into -- we had to run the test carefully. we have to review amateur we understand the different scenarios and give the i.t. right. >> if i might just interrupt. it's not antiquated machinery. it's not speedy it's all part of it. >> it's all part of it. so there's a management component. there was a project management issue by the team. >> that's correct. >> but ultimately i.t. it's all sort of in the realm of i.t. whether it's the personal related to i.t. or the machines that are out of date or the misgui

i'm only a small part of a big team that works hard.our manager, when we get to the office he's always there and still there when we leave and he's hard working and all the investigators. they're all dedicated. i'm humbled by receiving this. i'm a small part of a big team. thank you very much. >> supervisor: we'll keep the agenda moving forward. supervisor mandelman, the floor is yours. >> thank you, madame president. is shauna verago here? come on up. today, many of us in the lgbtq community are reflecting on the trailblazing leadership of harvey milk. he did and said things that at the time few other people were willing to do, say or demand. at today's meeting i'm honored to give this to another trailblazer, shauna verago. in 1997 when the transgender film festival started many refused to screen the movies and the founder of alex austin and christopher lee had to create their own space to share authentic representations of trans lives and experiences and the transgender film festival, the first trans film festival in north america was

it does the same work.utreach in the communities, so we go out teen vans and find families that need our help and bring them into do the problem-solving and the coordinated entry care. his of the client is here today. i think you've already seen her. michelle english. she is a catholic charities client who, with the guidance of our staff and the services at the bayview access point and s.f. home programs, was able to prevent homelessness, find stability, rebuild her life, and remained with her beloved 8 -year-old daughter, samara. did i get that right? so maia. i knew i would do that. with the stability of a home and a job now, she plans to become a sign language interpreter and pay it forward. please congratulate her and welcome her. [applause] >> how is everybody. first and foremost, i want to say thank you. everybody and jesus, i love you guys so much because without the consistency of it all, i don't feel like i would have accomplished everything. access point and bayview, people get discouraged in the

fines are not working, fees are not working, notes are not working, contamination charges are not working. so, it's not that -- that is the first down, second down, third down, this is fourth and long. >> i disagree with that, the rules have changed. rules that govern, established 9, 10 years ago, we are updating and so from my perspective, not grandfathering these -- excuse me, thank you. we are not grandfathering these past audits, and moving forward our expectation. if you fail, you -- you get two chances to fail. >> we are updating enforcement. the law is mandatory recycling and composting has been in effect. the ability for carrots and sticks have been in effect. this is still more carrots and sticks at the end of the day because we are saying, we are -- we are certainly compelling you to participate and at the end of the day you are going to get a savings and we are going to get environmental savings and the rate payers are going to get a savings. >> supervisor mandelman. >> i want to maybe pursue the question, whether large waste generators should get a second chance. that idea is

level work is that u.s. cyber command, working with the folks on the operational piece of the equation. we also have a direct interest in the department of defense as the sector lead for the defense industrial base and we are collaborating more and more on that based on the threats that are manifesting associated again, particularly with russia and china as well as defense critical assets for which we have dependencies on commercial critical infrastructure and that's another area of focus and collaboration with dhs. >> so i may come back to a couple of question, but i wanted to get this clarified, too. what is the status of the report required in the fy-19 on the cyber civil support teams. >> we are currently working and the response to that, and i'll get the details of when we can get that to you. >> that's something that i want to follow up on and we'll get a status report and seeing the final version, but let me go back. can you describe your approach to bringing dhs in on pathfinder conversations with th

that we worked on is working, not perfect but it's working a whole lot better than what it's replaced. g.a.o. for example has reported the department imlit -- eliminated the inspections backlog. it had a very long inspections backlog. the departments worked through that. i think we're seeing over time in improved trust and sense of cooperation between the didn't and the stakeholders, including those in the industry. that authorization that senator coburn and i worked on -- now it's almost five years ago -- is set to expire in january. if it does, this important antiterrorism program will most likely go back to a year-to-year authorization. industry and labor groups and the department serve -- i think they deserve more certainty than that this time. to his credit, chairman ron johnson, his staff has worked, cooperated with mine this week to address a number of outstanding issues with the bill that was reported out of committee, and it was one of those bills that was reported out. we have all been there. a bill was let out of the committee with an empolice it understanding or tacit unde

hard work and creativity along with technology has advanced her skills alt work. her willingness to learn is a major strength for her. she learned about skype and docusign and has tested both for the agency. care season a positive person that works hard to keep morale high in the program. [no audio] ms. vandermeulen has a strong work ethic and cares about the population she served. karen has gone above and beyond and provided many complements to her work ethic. a client's attorney stated, "your instinct, presence, sensitivity and intelligence are the reasons that we can trust the frail elderly and abused will be safe." ms. vandermeulen is passionate about her work and an excellent investigator. that's quite a tribute, karen. [applause] [applause] >> i'm truly humbled. thank you so much. it means a lot to me. when i was an undergrad, i had not heard of adult protective services and i was really, truly honored, i am, to be a part of it. i've never seen a group of people that work so hard and love what they do. sometimes we see the best. and sometimes we see the wors

we have a drug court that works well. if we can expand on that -- a mental health court as well, if we can expand on that, it would be a much better situation for those families, but also for law enforcement officers. one of the biggest challenges families face in mental health is not having enough access, not having enough treatment and counseling services. it is one of the biggest challenges our native american tribes suffer with as well. we all know clearly the challenge and epidemic we have seen in our tribes over the years. moderator: senator sutton, we are talking about the increase in suicide rates. what would you do in terms of the work that the mental health task force has done. would you follow up on that and are there other actions you can take? mr. sutton: absolutely, i am good for to seeing some of the recommendations they come up with, and then putting together a working group of folks on the ground. true professionals. because we need your input to solve these problems. we need input from everyday south dak

it also harms the morale of the work force which is composed of people just like you who go to work every day do make the country and community safer. like you are employees are public servants and shouldn't be threatened with violence or targeted in homes and should not fate interruption dozen their lawful operations, should not have to bear the burden of attacks motivated by political policy disagreements. if confirmed one of my highest priorities will be to better dem been state to the public, congress and media the importance and criticality of the mission to protect the homeland and improve public safety and why our agencies existence should not be up for debate. i.c.e. was created, following the attack of september 11th september 11th the philadelphia commission identified critical gap inside national security, including the need for stronger interior immigration enforcement and border security. to address those needs and prevent future attacks on the homeland the government stood up i.c.e. and the department of homeland security. elim nighting threats through cooperative enforce. i

if it needs work on it, this is the appropriate venue to work on it. so, i've made a motion to continue this item to november 29th, is there a second? >> can i just say something on that point? part of the reason why i would like the process to go forward, i feel like we are 99% of the way there, i think we are going to continue the conversation around -- there could be some fundamental disagreement. we have been working with the mayor's office, different departments. we are coming on a deadline on this board and the holiday and it would be, i know there is a lot of pieces of legislation, i know you are leaving the board, i know there is legislation that you have and others have that are working our way through other committees. facilitating. we want to allow those to go forward. [please stand by] . (roll call). >> thank you very much. this item will be continued to november 29th. thank you. any other business? >> no further business. >> all right. thank you. >> good morning everyone. the meeting will come to order. welcome to the november 14th, 2018 r

there was a lot there so if women, you know, were able to leave for work a lot of times they were working as a cashier, bartender, as a nurse and so one of the challenging things about women coming into the workforce are is they really believe in gender segregation so i've noticed when i have been on oil rigs and fracking sites a lot of those jobs are not as physically demanding as you would think because of technology and women could technically do them, but there is really tradition of having pretty much all male cruise and people there think it's easier to keep it genders separated. [inaudible question] >> north dakota doesn't really have any movements to ban fracking. people are pretty friendly to the industry there. it's rick-- regulated by the north dakota industrial commission which has three members on it and they are sort of known to be more cooperative with the oil industry rather than punitive. when there's been a big oil spill or salt water spill or pipeline, their first move isn't necessarily to slap a fine on someone. they try to reduce fines and give them a period to work i

what did you work on? >> have you ever advised any official in the white house to provide or withhold documents? >> i'm just trying -- just running the tape here. not that i can recall. >> would you recuse yourself from litigation involving the special counsel, for example, litigation that would involve criminal proceedings or production of documents or any other discovery issues involving the special counsel where his requests or demands for documents or testimony might be contested? >> to the extent that the case touched upon the specific case before me would touch upon anything that i worked on in the white house, yes, i would. >> well, let me just say very emphatically since you are unable or unwilling to say exactly what the advice relating to the special counsel's activities touched upon, my strong suggestion is that you would have to recuse yourself as to any and all matters -- >> perhaps, perhaps the question would be -- so, the first question would be did i work on the matter. and as i've told you

i worked a lot in yemen. there has been a lot of drawings, work there. drones. work there.it's tricky, it's complicated because i think with a war like that, there tends to be an overall impression of insult to their policy. if you ask them about the drone, american drone campaign, it's wrong, get to know them. they'll actually say, well, actually, there's a lot there. if you went to that village and shot out, they probably killed 100 people. i'm not saying that's always the justification for a lot of long people that are killed by jones and i've written about that as well. it's always more complicated and i think, you -- it's another reason you have to go there and spend the time or you won't get past the headlines. that's a very, very small bit of an answer. do you want to say anything? >> no. i don't think i can answer that. >> i read your book, it was awesome. i was wondering, he said that before you got kidnapped, you had a premonition that something was going to happen. i was wondering if now that you are more experienced, if you had this permission, would you avert c

a decade plus of work. if you have not gotten a text in the middle of the meeting when she's balancing the books and appropriating millions of dollars. then she will text you and say, what the heck are you doing? and she holds us accountable. i don't know if i would use prickly, but i would say she has stood up to politicians and other folks high up in the government. sometimes at her own peril. i think there was a mayor or two that wanted to show her the door, but they could not get rid of her. sonali -- [speaking foreign language] [applause] >> supervisor kim: i also wanted to thank and acknowledge and commend sonali for your 20 years of service to the city. i'm very familiar with the text

we work with recology to make sure contamination is not an issue and to work through the process and improve it. we really would love to hear more that you all have for these amendments and proposal. we hope to continue to have a relationship and ongoing conversation. thank you. >> next speaker. >> good afternoon, secretary treasurer, local 350. we represent all of the union recology workers in san francisco. i wish i had more time, because i could answer a lot of the questions that you were asking earlier. so maybe i'll follow-up. >> individually, you can. >> zero waste, if the city is serious about zero waste it requires participation at multiple levels. the refuse that you see at pier 96 is clean because it's already gone through the sorting process at some level and then it's sorted through again by our members. for this to really work, that's what needs to happen at the large refuse generators. you need someone sorting before it goes into the compacter. it goes to sanitariy fill and pushed into the trucks to go to landfill. so whatever recyclables in that compacter are never see

with recology to work with these audits, to work with the businesses? is it a team of folks? >> yeah. there is a team of us in zero waste. so we're organized by sector. so i'm overseeing the commercial sector. there is a team of us. and we actually, the person on the team, will deal with a range of different customer types. and that is also true, recology has professional staff -- they call it their waste zero staff. and they also work with these customers. so we're in constant communication. >> president cohen: what is the cost of an audit? >> you'll have to ask recology on that. it takes a couple of hours. >> president cohen: could we get a recology representative? >> there is a cost there that recology -- coh >> president cohen: thank you, i don't want to hear, hearsay, i'm tapping into my inner judge judy. i would like recology to talk about the audits and if you're not the best person, that's fine, we can arrange for another recology person to come. >> thank you, president cohen. you know, actually an audit to do one audit, it takes about 3-4 hours

dillon, thank you for your great work. i have appreciated working with you. thank you, ed. you must be getting tired of saying nice things about me. in the last several weeks you spent a lot of time saying nice things. i am humbled by the accolades. i have many faults but hopefully you believe i paid a small part in moving the agency forward. thank you for putting up with me. i am not the normal kind of cfo. i want to give a shout out to the nta colleagues as dillon did who work tirelessly without much recognition. i would like to recognize all of you today for your great work. a special gratitude to the fit folks who always supported me over the year and have done incredible work. i have not done any of it, these guys have done all of it. i leave with a plea that you continue your hard work. it is often very difficult and frustrating but i have faith that you will continue the work and the public deserves the system. my last i would like to leave you with a poem. she was born in calcutta. i have got to leave. it is call farewell. i have got to leave bid me farewell, i bow

scientists working at extraction companies. and you work towards agricultural jobs. have ones that will require less education and you look towards cannabis retail and see traditional retail jobs and you see general management jobs. those things that are similar to working at a bar restaurant or working at a retail store. >> we are offering, essentially, high paid manufacturing jobs. typical starting wage of 18-$20 an hour, almost no barrier to entry, you do not need an education. >> that means that people who do not have college educations, working-class people, will have an opportunity to have a job at cultivating cannabis plants. there's a whole wide array of job opportunities from the seedling to the sale of the cannabis. [♪] >> last year, they said 26 million people came to san francisco. >> the tourism industry continues to be very robust here and the city and county of san francisco is about a billion-dollar industry. >> if we use a conservative cannabis user adoption rate to 15% that means 4 million tourists want that means 4 million tourists want to purchase

i came looking for work but i didn't know what kind of work to take. so i fell into wireline it was very difficult at the beginning i had. accidents while pulling a trailer i could have been killed there were explosives in the trailer and it's fun three hundred sixty degrees and the explosives came out the back. but my boss didn't fire me they gave me another chance after the first year i was very playable i had a marketable skill. it pleases me that i had a hand a small hand but nevertheless i changed my career late in life and involved myself in american energy independence and in weaning this country of our foreign oil dependency. america would sell its own mother for energy. i live in st george utah. and my family's down there i need to come up here to make some money to pay off debt and stuff we're getting there. i went to school and became an teach school elementary school i could make twenty five thousand dollars as a teacher or i could make fifty thousand dollars a year and drive a truck so i chose to drive truck. and i were usually twelve to f
