Anonymous completed speaker cards and documents to be included should be submitted to the clerk. Items acted upon today will appear on the september 17th board of supervisors agenda unless otherwise stated thank you very much can you please call to me the and she is the author.

Somewhere between 4,000 to 6,000 National Guard members are called up for the papal weekend but there is no plans to deploy them for papal zone. Sources say they will not be armed. I welcome them

It helps us mitigate the effect of wind shooting down the exterior of the building. So imaging that this will be a very calm environment when it comes to controlling wind. And it also allows us to address the whole issue of how to avoid birds flying into the structure. That extra depth and and keeping the birds from hitting the building. If you look across first street you see one of the key retail lobbies of the center at the street level. And you see the entrance to parking and you see the relationship between the north edge of the Transit Center and the south edge of the tower. Now, you are standing across mission street. At the corner of mission and freemont. Once again you see the heavier metallic work at the base of the tower and you see the grove of redwoods and the sculpture at the corner and you see how lively and prominen
