Just think about how good it felt to feel normal. To go and get your hair done or your nails done or to go and workout at the gym and enjoy your time there, but just think about how much more important it was to the people who were finally able to open their business, who were finally able to get a paycheck, who finally had some level of certainty in their lives that they would be able to take care of themselves. Now, think about whats happening now. Im sure that so many of those people are scared. Last week we told the restaurants that they would no longer be able to operate indoors. What that meant was not only layoffs, but it also meant that there was a lot of lost revenue because of the food that they no longer were able to use. When you think about some of the things and the sacrifices that people are making, thats what
Our system is ugly. As times, it has been d. B. I. Staff and management, and at other times, its been the developers, contractors, and consultants who are seeking permit approvals. In 2001, a d. B. I. Survey called for a culture of preferential treatment and called for an overhaul of the department. In 2004, Marcus Armstrong and a d. B. I. Investigator plead guilty for taking bribes. In 2010, permit expediter jimmy jen was jailed on 232 felony fraud counts brought by District Attorney and Vice President elect kamala harris. In may 2020, Rodrigo Santos, a former Building Inspections commissioner was arrested by the f. B. I. And charged with bank fraud.

One was giving us the end of the street, the upper end of the street, and the other one was giving us kind of a low point on where the road was lumping up, so we figured that the pipeline is fairly straight, and that those two points face on what pg es instruction would give us, the pipeline. And the pipeline was surveyed by an additional surveyor, and a response was done. Supervisor ronen okay. Okay. And who prepared the initial response and evacuation plan .
