for 14 years, he was the head chef for randy pary@ary restaurants in sacramento. today, he's traded in his chef's hat to promote, educate, and even celebrate produce with other chefs. >> i use email. i use the phone. but the best thing to do is to be able to go into a restaurant, to go into the kitchen, to find the person cooking the food, and say, "hey, what can i get you? what are you looking for?" >> i would just be doing seed production if it weren't for jim driving in here and refusing to drive away and saying, "no, i really want this stuff. no, you don't understand, i really do want to buy this stuff." and "i really want this, and i really want it now, and i really want some, and i wnt samples," and you know, so forth and so on despite my best efforts to get rid of him. >> as chef michael tuohy starts preparing meals with the greens, he admits his job would be so much more difficult if it were not for produce experts like jim mills. >> jim fills a need here that nobody else does, and that is he--his company and him, particularly, works with several small far

>> zoning is sacramento street neighborhood district. the land use is what you're talking about. >> right. >> i think there are more of the medical service type land uses in this district. there's not that many just office or professional service uses. but what we do have are a lot of counseling services, therapists, that sort of use in the neighborhood. >> i guess what i'm trying to make sure, it's just that i know some cases we have specific use zoning and i don't know like if a medical service use is already in another building, say, and it moves out and something else can easily go in, is it like an as of right change, retail space wanted to go n restaurant. i wanted to understand how that works. >> on the ground floor, yes, this district would generally encourage retail type and other active uses. >> commissioner antonini. >> yes for ms. rodgers or ms. stephanie. just in regards to this legislation, it's broad enough that there could be other instances where it could apply on that corridor; is that correct? they have to fit the pros

child advocates, parents advocates of sacramento, dependency associates of sacramento, bridges' stars program, and sacramento treatment providers. parents in the program not only receive treatment, but gain an understanding of the root causes of their disease in an effort to break the intergenerational cycle of trauma. we were failing our families. before dependency drug court, we only had 18 percent of families who actually were unified and had their children come home and their cases closed out, with parents who no longer had substance abuse problems. as i went through the stars program and realized that these people that are trying to teach me about my disease have gone through it themselves. it was a blessing because it wasn't somebody who's never experienced what i've experienced telling me what i needed to learn, somebody who had actually been there and was doing the deal, staying sober one day at a time. everyone agrees that we want parents to be safe, nurturing parents. everyone agrees that good quality treatment on demand is important, and everybody agrees accountability is n

street ncd which runs from lion's street to spruce street on sacramento. when drafting legislation we wanted to make sure that we respected the concerns that created the prohibition in the first place. in 1987 when these controls were in place there were concerns that medical service uses were displacing neighborhood service -- neighborhood serving businesses and residential units. i really should not have ran up those stairs. excuse me. obviously community outreach is very important when doing legislation like this. mr. mitchell reached out to the merchants on this street and to sam, with the presidio [speaker not understood] to explain the challenges she was s.p.r.tion with her property. our office did the same and included san in the drafting of the legislation to make sure everyone was comfortable, that the controls in the ncd would still preserve the existing neighborhood serving retail uses and residential units. i also met mr. mitchell at the property and then walked the entire ncd with him looking at every single property to make certain that the l

which is a five-block stretch along sacramento street from spruce street rather to lion street in san francisco. so basically the way that it is now, is that new medical services are prohibited at the ground floor and below, and when i say below there are a number of retail storefronts that are accessed by descending from the sidewalk from the half submerged level below the street. >> if it is adopted a change of use from business to professional service to medical service would be permitted providing that no residential use or active street frontage is lost. >> the planning department is recommending approval of this with minor modifications. the reason for that is that the department's position is that the language for the amendment is restrictive enough that the amrik ability is limited this will effect a handful of properties. if you have questions i will try to answer in behalf of planning, and i apologize that katherine is not here. >> could you tell me what an active street frontage means? >> i can, i am sorry, i have a footnote and i think that i actually have the definition i

he was a victim of bullying in sacramento, california. these kinds of summits are interesting it me because i'm boots on the ground. i am in the trenches every single day and i live in sacramento so i'm at the capitol and we use the word bullying which softens the behavior. this is abuse. it is peer abuse. and our children are crying for help. and the adults who are charged with their well-being turn a blind and deaf ear to it and here's my comment. there are no consequences for failure to comply. nothing with teeth. and i have a dead child who broke under horrendous circumstances where in one of the best schools in sacramento, meraloma, breaks every record going. it is the best. and my son was perceived to be gay and the idea that you could scream out every horrendous word in front of god and everyone and no one did anything, and michael followed policy to a t tomorrow is his birthday. i should be celebrating his 21st birthday. instead, my husband and i, we mourn 4 years. we are no further along. none of our laws, they are not working. t

i mean, i think we did that just before, you know, on the sacramento street. we broadened it. but we broadened it recognizing it is not applying to anybody else. so, we're kind of going through the motions. i think that's the planning code is for making things everything uniform. the planning commission i think has a role in recognizing we live in a pretty unique geographic area with unique buildings and, you know, these exceptions come up. so, i'm okay making an exception limited to cafe floor. just a question on the health -- we talked a bit. what does the health department say about this? i imagine to the kitchen they don't like it because it's in violation. i mean, they're okay with the fact they're going to permit an off-site kitchen separate from the establishment. >> my understanding from enforcement staff is all permits that are required could be obtained within this one-year period including the health permit. >> and then on the broader legislation with 65 feet, i didn't see on the corner of market and castro and 17th are those already 65 feet, those corridors? you ad

several months ago our office received a call from the owner of 32 39-32 41 sacramento street. mr. steve mitchell, who is expected to be here today, i think is going to be here around 1:00, though. i apologize he's not here now. at that time he described the unique nature of his property and how the controls of sacramento street and ncd were making it extremely difficult to utilize the ground level space of the old victorian. the victorian built in 1883 is designated as a potential historic resources -- resource and the ground level space is not visible from the street. i have a picture here for your reference. so, you can see here, i don't know, i've never done this before, so, is it on there? it's face up.

so just, in sum, we have sacramento's intention, ladies and gentlemen, we are waiting for the pope -- i mean the governor it -- to sign these bills. it's a very mechanical things but anything you can do to encourage the govern rr to sign the bills that deal with this issue. unfortunately they are a drop in the bucket, they don't bring seth back or your son or your daughter. we are quite aware of that and i think that's a thought that we always are going to hold in our minds because that will help influence further legislation. this is a good segue, probably, to mr. torres. we work very well with his department and he's extremely receptive and action-oriented. >> i think that's great that we have so much cooperation with departments in sacramento. that's great to her. go ahead, expand on that. >> thank you to the u.s. attorney for gathering us to the. we have come a long way but as the parents expressed so poignantly, we have so much farther to go. we can pass laws but how do they get enforced, how do they get actualized, how do we have the accountability? more than that, as tony smith
