but when we say priority, we meant priority. you have to address priorities in order. i moved almost 2000 agents from the criminal programs to counter terrorism and national security because that was the priority. we have, since september 11, then run according to a set of priorities that we continuously review, but precludes us from doing things we have traditionally done, we all enjoyed doing, but is not as necessary as the priorities we have identified, and we were fairly rigorous when it comes to budget, when it comes to personnel. we adhere to those priorities. in a tighter budget, those are the things that save you because you go down the priorities and are able to make the decisions somewhat better than you otherwise would. we are not doing as much in the war on drugs that we did before. it is a continuous battle. we do participate in a number of ways as a war and a battle worth fighting. >> we have a number of questions about cyber security. question that emerges in the minds of many people is how the fbi might approach the challenge of balancing the security-

but when we say priority, we meant priority. you

and balancing the budget will be a priority. has to be a priority. we will do that. we have done that time and time again. public safety is also something we are very interested in. it has to be a priority, because if we do not have public safety, nothing else works. one of the things we are focusing on is trying to focus on how policing works in san francisco. i used to be a member of the police commission, and i learned that the most effective community policing is the policing where you have the police and the community working together. it is important to have police officers on the street and have the police presence. at the same time, there has to be a connection within the police and the community. so, that requires -- also we have a focus on violence prevention. in the mission, we are focused on gang activity. we have to balance the very important work of the police would be very important violence prevention work -- with the very importance violence prevention work we're doing on the ground. so, public safety is something we will keep pushing on. we are tryi

someone is in the audience, and she will give you a brief presentation about priorities that the occ things is important. >> kddi, present -- good evening, president mazzucco. the list is 20 outstanding recommendations as well as the general order revision. i would say most certainly a priority is to have a presentation to the commission of 5.05, which is the general order. we met with chief suhr last month to go over the list and to ask him to also prioritize, so we are in discussion about how to move this forward, so i would say that is one of the agency's no. 1 priorities. in terms of the occ recommendations, our main priorities concerning language access, concerning juveniles as well as officer-involved shootings and mental-health, and some of those we have moved forward on, but many of them are still outstanding, and we look forward to working with the department to implement them as soon as possible. president mazzucco: thank you. anyone? >> good evening, commissioners. questions, if you have any? president mazzucco: any other questions? commissioner chan: with the follow-up, i

on the priority list. a link on wusa9.com and thank goodness those storms come every 100 years, because to have another one with the blizzard and break and a blizzard. >> that was better than 2010. >> a couple things about the december storm, it's our only december storm in the top 10. you are right, about 2 feet in the suburbs. all right, good memories. it may be all i have this year. let's start with the satellite picture and radar combined. we will zoom into this storm. it's about to move into the southern plain states. there are blizzard conditions and blizzard warnings for western kansas until the very early morning hours on tuesday. a ton of snow into mexico. we have video from the ski resort in mexico. and they got anywhere from 6 to about 12 inches of snow. and really in some respects, the southwest has been the bulls eye with snow. this is their second snow of the winter. second snow of december. these folks have anywhere from 20 to 40-inch base. that's pretty good. all right, back to the computer

supervisors, my name is jeff johnson from the new priorities campaign. i own a small business in san francisco, and i am empowered by the church council to speak on their behalf. and our nation, our state, and city are in an economic crisis. our public services education, health care, housing and infrastructure are suffering, and with them, the well for -- welfare of our people. as a partial remedy the u.s. government needs to and the wars and bring the troops and war expenditures home. the cost of the wars is mind boggling. president barack obama refer to a one trillion dollar pricetag for america's wars that grossly underestimates the total cost of the wars in afghanistan and pakistan. the final bill will run 3.7 trillion and could reach 4.4 trillion, according to brown university. cost of wars estimate of the total cost to the nation so far, nearly 1.3 trillion. cost of californians 139 billion. the cost to san francisco, 3.8 billion. the bottom line is that san francisco is suffering because of a huge misdirection of taxpayer funds tote -- towards wa

the club members strongly support the principles of the new priorities campaign. the several budget priorities are definitely the business of the boards of supervisors. the cities and states are starving. the trickle-down theory has been proven not to work. instead of benefits trickling down, they are not there at all. in there have been programs cut -- there have been programs cut at the rec center where i used to take my dog. there was a wonderful challenge there. the coach the kids and provided help with after-school programs. the people there were inspired to organize a holiday gift program for the younger kids. that is all now gone. it is important to spread this movement from the ground up all across the country. get the people in congress to listen to us instead of the big money donors. -- big money investors. these are actually the war profiteers and polluters. budget priorities say a lot about values and where this country is right now, the values are shameful. >> thank you very much. nick speaker. >> good morning. i am vera hale. you know me because i am

we adhere to those priorities. in a tighter budget, those are the things that save you because you go down the priorities and are able to make the decisions somewhat better than you otherwise would. we are not doing as much in the war on drugs that we did before. it is a continuous battle. we do participate in a number of ways as a war and a battle worth fighting. >> we have a number of questions about cyber security. question that emerges in the minds of many people is how the fbi might approach the challenge of balancing the security- related imperatives it has with concerns about privacy and civil liberty. wonder if you could speak to that in the cyber context, but also may be what you think americans should be thinking about as they ask the question of what their government should be prepared to do in terms of offensive operations in cyberspace. >> let me first of all define the fbi's role. generally, we do investigate. our primary function is when we are called in, we investigate. we have a debt investigators

it is my top priority. as you know, i was a strong supporter. i want to think the board for your support in making sure this city is an attractive place for companies to come and to grow. the very fact that we need to talk about this legislation, we have a more systemic problem. the time has come after literally years of talk to reform the business tax. i made a point of it during this campaign, and i know president chiu did, as well. the tax has problems, not generating stable revenue flows, and it creates perverse incentives for growth. we are already hard it worked, and i will forward to working with you, supervisor farrell, as we did this. they have also been calling for reforms four years. as i mentioned, this leads to real instability in the city revenues. the good is is we have an opportunity to smooth the volatility and reform our business tax, to greet a system that encourages growth and hiring. it is going to be a tough policy conversation, as we have already begun to have this conversation with ourselves and as we unveil a strategy to

i think we should have priorities for workers in this area. they should be working on the projects that benefit our residents. i am happy to see for the resolve clauses allowing for at least option, an opportunity to come back to the table and reopen pla. it there are changes at the federal level, that we can have that discussion to put in specific target, so i will be supporting this today. i want to think the directors for their feedback and comments over the past month as well. any other comments or questions? >> i wanted to thank all of the unions for all of their hard work. we have all 28 of them that signed. that is remarkable and very impressive. thank you for coming here today. ramone and mike, and operating engineers, and the other mike. i should clarify we are targeting regional higher. that is what we've been doing. we have been doing only that because it is a regional project because we of east bay and santa clara as our partners, so we have been doing that in doing that quite well, and we can continue to do that when we get our up

we found several san francisco priorities that did very well. of course, this is sweepstakes for future funding. one of them, of course, is the effect of this project. we also saw the bart metro project that will increase frequency of services to downtown san francisco scored very well. and the initial pricing initiatives in san francisco also did very well, of course. i would note that both commissioner campos and commissioner reno made comments about the need to further take into account, in the evaluation of both the end of the door projects and the program might alternatives, this is the commitment to housing supply, a way to reward what local jurisdictions are doing. and the quality of targets need to be more closely included in the evaluation that is done. and results released for the rtp next month. i think that will give us an opportunity for an interesting discussion about that before the planned moves to next year's steps toward adoption. some wanted to also point out that the san francisco transportation plannin is making progress, an

so that i have no qualms with saying that is a priority. if it is a priority, if it is important, it is important to pay for it. paying for it is through revenues. now, if we don't pay for it, if we borrow for -- we are going to borrow over $1 trillion to protect our country. afghanistan, iraq, and other places around the world, but particularly those two, that's important. that's important to do. he and i agree. but i think it's important to pay for it not have my children or grandchildren pay for it who are going to have to pay for their security in their time. and if be-- we leave them only a legacy of deep debt, they will not be able to do so. that is a immoral policy and fiscally irresponsible. we have to fix the problem. what you are talking about makes sustainable. demographics have changed. costs have changed. we have to make sustainable entitlements. does the gentleman agree that a component of the solution has to be dealing with revenues as well? mr. cantor: i thank the gentleman. we have always said, certainly. there needs to be

they are well aware that this is a priority for the mayor's office, a priority for the commission to have adequate staffing in order to deal with this growth and permits. -- in permits. >> we had 36 big jobs come in this year over $1 million. we have an idea based on anecdotal information, and the pre application meeting for some of the other projects, but i can give you our projection. >> i do not expect something of this week, but maybe something at the next meeting. appreciate it. >> also in the category of major projects that have basically retracted in moving forward with their plans to build, are there those that have maintained their permits or have applied, is that part of what is rolling over on the extension of permits? >> we did seek projects -- permits that had it issues a couple of years ago when the economy was bad, and they have reappeared. so we have seen some of those. >> great. >> is there some category that can be safely projected for next year? no/ ? >> i can work and look at it. they are projecting revenue in this department is difficult because you do not know t

. >> we have had our retreat not too long ago, and we voted on our priority, and one of our top priorities was language access, so that is part of what brings us here today to bring up the general order adopted a while back on october 17. my question is where are we in terms of implementation and how often are these resources to use? if you can give us your report, that would be great. i knew she is still working on this issue. >> good evening, commissioners. i am the department's language access officer. as commissioner chan brought up earlier, she brought of specific questions. i am here to address them. i gave you a copy. each of you should have a copy of specific questions and answers, and i will address them, and if you would like to follow a round, that would be of great help. i am going to give you a quick profile. the san francisco police department has 2000627 members, including civilians. -- 2627 members, including civilians. 467 of sfpd members are bilingual. 163 are certified by the department of human resources as bilingual in foreign languages. 6.2% are certified bilingual in

if we are setting priorities for the agency in deciding that these things are priorities, we should ask ourselves and honestly answer, what are we doing now that we aren't going to be doing any more? a priority is a decision to do on one thing as opposed to a number of other things we can do. what is not the priority? i think we are a little bit short on having an answer to that. that is the strategic plan. i wanted to touch base on muni's anniversary. the summer of 2012 as the one hundredth anniversary of this pretty amazing transportation agency. we recommend the agency holding streetcar festivals, one in the spring and summer and one between thanksgiving and new year's because the actual anniversary take place between things giving it new years but we understand a lot of people are not in town. in the spring are summer, we maximize the chance of tourists to participate in the festival. yet to solicit sponsorships from businesses to pay for these. i have occasionally seen the historic streetcars in my neck of the woods. it is a delightful thing to see how the regular metro line. they

to me, it is a huge priority, why i did this. i will be very true what i talk about on the campaign trail. representing a. 2, but also the city -- representing a district 2, but also the city and county of san francisco. it is such an honor and unique experience, and of just having a great time and look forward to making a big difference in city hall. >> great. we have been talking to supervisor farrell from district 2. thank you for joining us on sfgtv's "meet your district supervisor." four episodes when we come back with another of our city supervisors. thank you very much. >> you bet. >> just a few steps away from union square is a quiet corner stone of san francisco's our community to the meridian gallery has a 20-year history of supporting visual arts. experimental music concert, and also readings. >> give us this day our daily bread at least three times a day. and lead us not into temptation to often on weekdays.

i set out these five priorities. i feel like we will get to many of them in a positive way. there are so many other things coming that were not part of the agenda. mid market and other places are going to happen. they need constant attention by somebody who can pay attention to it. the person who cannot pay attention to it is the person running for another office. the person who can pay attention is someone who has set aside everything and said they're going to pay attention. that is what i want to do in whatever capacity i have. the midmarket payroll tax thing has caused other businesses to come forward. i have a group of technology companies talking with us about how we can help them. that has led to another group of businesses who came forward. i have talked with them. these companies have been here for a long time. they want to make sure they continue to have a great connection. they are still contributing. this last weekend, i was participating in a program that used to be called christmas in april. it is now called rebuilding together. they were doing 100 projects on s

with your ideas, the collaboration you have, priorities about making sure that we have sustainable, good neighborhoods that are built with and through the transportation infrastructure that we are talking about, we are going to have our state really tried to depend on you to recover. i know without making infrastructure investment a priority, our state will not have the ability to recover economically and for the people who want to have good lives and improve the conditions in the state. i want to mention three of our projects. there ones we're very much invested in. the first is our procedural parkway. the second is the trans-based terminal. -- the trans-bay terminal. the third, the third -- [laughter] [applause] of course it is our essentials subway.

i would like to get an idea of what applications are priority. how many types? how are we doing? how fast are things going? >> the vast majority of permits come from the fifth floor. you get it in a matter of hours. i do not think that that legislation will affect us that much. it might affect planning. sometimes you have to do a ramp or widen the doorway. you can write -- run up against design items. i think that, as far as the building department is concerned, we want to get the job one. >> i guess this second item, we discussed this at the nomination treaty last week. we would like to get some updates from the committee's that we appoint people to. the code advisory committee. just to get an idea of what they're doing and if they are running into roadblocks. we will have a presentation from them here. >> ok, sure. >> a great idea. maybe as part of our agenda we have an actual update from. since they are doing such important work for us, it is not a bad idea. >> i discussed this with sonya. she is willing to contact the representatives and they will provide a summary of the tar
