You can go and get a microphons are your questions can be heard. Please join me in welcoming john barry. [applause] thank you very much. Its kind of funny to be sitting here in a Community Room of the Louisiana Legislature talking about this subject largely because although you might not think it, politics is very involved in the story of the pandemic i cant think of a better place to talk about politics in the legislature. When you read about the 1918 pandemic in the newspapers these days you say the death toll was over 20 million. That estimate comes from the first of the disease thats fairly accurate for the western world but wildly inaccurate for the rest of the world. In a Nobel Prize Winner that spent most of his life studying influenza concluded that the death toll was a minimum of 50 Million People and possibly as many as 100 million. All this was in a world with the population 28 the size of today. So, if you adjust the population, the death toll on 1918 was between 175 to 350
[inaudible conversations] well reconvene, and i now recognize the senator from alaska. Thank you, mr. Chairman. Mr. Secretary, welcome. Thank you for all that you do. I want to give a special thanks for the shoreline mapping that we are seeing coming out of the department. Your support for this mapping on the shoreline and near shore is appreciated. We recognize the value of the president s memorandum on mapping. I also want to thank you for the departments recent work on the disaster funds for the two fisheries disasters that we have seen. It is important to us, and as you know, there is more in that pipeline. When we first met some years back, i promised you that you were going to think of fishing when you visited with me, and im not going i to disappoint yu today [laughter] as i look through my seven priorities here for the department of commerce, six of those relate to fisheries or to our ocean. So let me, let me begin with funding for fisheries surveys. You know the significance o
Mor more engrained. Just so im clear, we can rule on it, but they cant use it. Yes. Do you second that . I second that. It sounds logical. Okay. Now, lets have some discussion. Commissioner mazzucco . Yes. I just seconded the motion. I tell the public i want to thank everybody for their input. I, too, did receive a lot of information from other organizations, northern station, there was a survey of is 37 people, 95 were in favor. I dont like to put in numbers, how many were in favor, how many were not. As a commissioner, when i first heard it, i had some concerns. Well, wed like to have some more crisis intervention training, wed like to have video. All our officers have cameras. The cameras all have videos. Crisis intervention training, over 900 officers are fully c. I. T. Trained, and by the time this is implemented i think it will be closer to 1300, which is the majority of officers that are out on the streets. This is working, and im very proud of how our officers have changed that
The Paratransit Program is required to provide service that complements the muni service and so the and thats under the a. D. A. Requirements and guidelines and so Paratransit Service goes generally threequarters of a mile around where muni goes, and the muni lines and the muni service and if a person that has a trip that is outside of that they can take their paratransit to wherever the end of the end of that border is, that service area, and then i would suggest they could continue on, but then theyd be responsible for paying for that portion of the trip. Yeah, i think that is an interesting point because it also eats up a lot of time and paratransit has a specific schedule theyre bound to by routes and those things dont always match up so thinking about consumers with disabilities and maybe physical disabilities as well and vision issues and fatigue and any other things that might come up, i think that theyre doing their best to kind of figure out the solution to get to where they n
Allegations and then if the allegations are true, if the alleged conduct would violate city criteria, policy and procedure or city code does that answer the first part . Substantiated or unsubstantiated are both inside the closed category. And in the quarterly and annual reports it breaks down it breaks out by department. Theres a table in quarterly reports or chart showing which percentage of complaints closed led to Department Taking corrective or preventive action. Or even it shows whether or not the department moves on the recommendation of the whistleblower controller office, somewhat outside your control. But at least you can measure accurately the number of recommendations measured against the overall complaints, you said to the department we have investigation pursuant to the authority, we recommend disciplinary action to whatever department and they can be measured. Are they . I think the stae tick statis youre asking for, its by publishing in the reports which part investigat
