Thank you. Thank you commissioner mendoza. So this brings us to item t are we finished . Lets see i probably shouldnt try to skip this, but board delegates to membership organizations nsba, csba, cgcs and we are already heard that we had a great conference with the csba in San Francisco. Were there other things that people needed to report . Commissioner norton . I just want to recognize commissioner wynns, which we sort of do earlier in the meeting. It was her conference for csba.

But is that a part of the criteria, that its going to impact the broader range of supervisorial districts than just one . I know its based largely on need and how it fits a complete streets model, im guessing, but what about the range of supervisorial districts that might hit . One of the prioritization one of the primary prioritization for mtc was supported by development areas. That is the guiding principle as far as geography.

The director of women inc and we are a agency in the mission and thank you so much for your leadership on this issue. As you will see, in the Family Violence council. Family violence is the number one reported crime in San Francisco unfortunately and we will echo our hope for a workplace policy on Domestic Violence and we spoke about the positive impact that that could have not only for the survivors of Domestic Violence but for the coworkers and supervisor and everyone in the surrounding area at the workplace.

And they lean on the support of family, friends and in a lot of cases, people that are in their workplace for some support, some options. And someone to lean on, unfortunately is what we have heard is that many times the response is that they were greeted

And it is just like japan, for what they have done. If you read the papers recently, you know, that japan suffered a very harsh earthquake and tsunami a while back. And they coul
