And then i would also just say, you know, were very interested in how we can work more closely, although we have made a lot of progress this year, on Public Service aids. We know that complaints involving inaudible do not go through occ so we want that to be something that the commission is at least able to look at and you have the mechanism for that. We dont have that. And then i really want to echo what commissioner melara said. I think the intersection of Language Access, arrested parents, Do...

On the phones. Have to wait for the sergeant to come with the phone so they can call the Language Line. Now every officer has the phone so they are using it, which is what we want. And the phone has google language on the phone so they can figure out who they need to talk to the person to. None of us have to talk to each other any more face to face. My take away. I guess the push one thing i would stress is if theres a way to increase the number of direct bilingual officer interactions, i dont k...

Contact those officers by using dem or contacting dem directly and finding out who is available that has that skill set. As i look at it, it looks like theres a decrease in the number of sort of bilingual officer contacts. In 2013 it looks like there were more sort of face to face interactions between a bilingual officer and a client. In 2014 the vast majority of the contacts were through the phone interpreters, about 2700 out of the 2954, right . So there was an increased use of the phone lines...

Were getting 4,000 in the Community Just on violence against women you guys are getting probably more and just anything we can do to Work Together to collect those stats, i know dem has put a lot in place to help that and also i think thats bilingual officer contacts, we need a way to really capture those. Im a little bit concerned just as one of the commissioners was that this is a little bit heavy on Language Line and i think its easier to track. So i think theres an opportunity to get a clear...

That goes to show precision being used to address these issues being brought up by the neighborhoods affected by the project. And thats incredibly important. And, so, while speed can be sometimes a bad thing, that a slow process in and of itself is not necessarily a good thing either. That just because something has slowed down doesnt mean that that project is then deliberated appropriately. As long as the appropriate deliberations is happening, that is more than enough. And thats whats happenin...

But other entertainment that will go on in this venue. I tell you, it will be a real icon of a place as time goes by. We all will be proud of it. Thank you. Thank you, mr. Kranowitz. Good afternoon, [speaker not understood], local 22. First i just want to say the Carpenters Union are in favor of this project for the following reasons.

Committee members. I do want to thank the Land Use Committee for hearing this. This is only the first of many hearings. There is going to be a process, our office will work hard to ensure that. Thank you. I just wanted to add to supervisor kims comments that let me do my best to make sure my staff is working with neighborhood residents and others as we move other hearings and item forward through the Land Use Committee or to ensure that that happens. I also wanted to say, too, im really apprecia...

Weve been working in San Francisco community for over 40 years to create opportunities for San Francisco resident...

More meaningful process will come out with a better project which will still create jobs. I dont think anyone is in conflict. I really appreciate hearing from members of labor also supporting a meaningful process because i think that means a better project in the end. I think thats a good thing. I did want to address the point about the holidays. We heard that comment and, so, because of that we did move the scoping meeting to mid january so we will not be holding a scoping meeting in december a...

Giants and we blew straight through it. What we are asking for is time to have a serious Environmental Review. An Environmental Review that deals with the fact that we had two months ago change dramatically because of Sea Level Rise from the east coast. We are going to have sea level right here. If we dont factor them into an eir that we do on a pier right now on fill, we will not be doing our job as citizens or [speaker not understood]. Thank you. Thank you, ms. Hester. Good afternoon, supervis...
