(Deborah Svoboda/KQED)\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>After years of waiting, we finally have two U.S. Supreme Court rulings on the legality of same-sex marriage. But neither ruling was the type of clear-cut decision that advocates on both sides of the issue were hoping for. KQED spoke to several experts about the details of the cases and how this could all play out.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Standing\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The Supreme Court focused on the issue of standing in their ruling today on Prop. 8. In 2010, then-Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger, state Attorney General Jerry Brown and Lt. Gov. Abel Maldonado refused to defend Prop. 8, leaving Imperial County as the only government entity willing to defend the proposition. But in 2011, the California Supreme Court ruled that Prop. 8 proponents had standing to defend the measure, which allowed them to appeal to the 9th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals. Now the U.S. Supreme Court has ruled that Prop. 8 supporters did\u003cem> not\u003c/em> have standing to appeal, Judge Vaughn Walker's decision that Prop. 8 is unconstitutional currently stands.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>So what's standing?\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>UC Davis law professor Vik Amar explains:\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"Standing means that you're a party that belongs in court, and that we can trust that you'll represent the interests of one position in a way that allows the court to reach the merits. For example, if I voted against Prop. 8, and I thought it was a bad deal, I couldn't sue to challenge Prop. 8, even if it offended me, unless I'm a same-sex person, which I'm not. Standing makes sure we have the right parties in the case so that the courts aren't shooting their mouths off and making new rulings just in abstract context.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"Usually we focus on whether the plaintiffs have standing. This was an unusual case because we were focusing on whether the defendants -- the proponents of Prop. 8 -- had standing, and the real question is whether the proponents are adequate representatives of the voters of the state of California. And the Supreme Court said that they are not. The Supreme Court said that they are private persons. They are not the same as public state officials.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"If the Brown administration had appealed Judge Walker's decision to the 9th Circuit but said, 'By the way, we agree with the plaintiff, the challengers,' then the Supreme Court might have had a much harder time getting rid of this case. It might have had to reach the merits as it did in the Defense of Marriage Act case.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>When can same-sex marriages resume?\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The Supreme Court gave the 9th Circuit Court 25 days before the appeals court has to lift the stay, or hold, on Walker's ruling. This period comes directly from Supreme Court rules -- whenever the high court makes a ruling, the loser has 25 days to file for a rehearing before anything can happen.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>California also has to decide how they are going to interpret the ruling. Gov. Jerry Brown ordered the Department of Public Health - which oversees marriage licenses, birth and death certificates, and other such documents - to advise the 58 counties of California to commence same-sex marriages as soon as the stay is lifted. Each county has to decide how they will prepare.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Attorney General Kamala Harris in a speech asked the court to lift the stay quickly: \"I am also calling on the 9th Circuit today to urge them in the strongest terms that they lift the stay and enforce the permanent injunction that Vaughn Walker outlined so that marriages can begin in California immediately.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c!--more-->\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Will the legal struggle continue in California?\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>It's unclear whether the lawsuits will continue. Someone with standing would need to challenge Walker's ruling.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Amar believes that only a county clerk could do so: \"The only scenario I envision is if a county clerk who feels that he should not be bound by Judge Walker's order, and that he is not controllable by the governor, from some conservative county wants to refuse to issue marriage licenses and goes to court and says he shouldn't be governed by any of this because he never had his day in court, he wasn't in San Francisco defending Prop 8. That's the only kind of individual or party left I could see to stand in the way.\"\u003cbr>\n\u003c!--more-->\u003cbr>\nJane Schacter, professor of law at Stanford Law School, agrees that a county clerk refusal could restart the process: \"What I think will happen at that point, it would not surprise me if in some more culturally conservative part of the state, a local county clerk says, 'Well, I don’t think the governor had the power to order me to do this, I don’t think I’m bound by Judge Walker’s order, and therefore I’m not going to give you a license.' At that point, a same-sex couple may go to court to try to get that license and we may be off to the races with further litigation. Now, this really is a law professor’s dream. Will that be in state court? Will that be in federal court? Will it be about the scope of Walker’s decision? Will it be about the scope of the governor’s authority to decide what to do in these circumstances? Any number of questions, but I think there is no question that a lot of same-sex couples in short order are going to start marrying again in California.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Schacter also says that, while unlikely, Walker's opinion could be open to interpretation: \"The question is does Judge Walker's opinion, which was issued not in a class action but a lawsuit involving two couples, does it bind and apply statewide to other couples who are not part of the litigation? I think the governor will aggressively take the position that the state was a party in the case, the state is not contesting the decision of Judge Walker, therefore Prop. 8 is no longer enforceable. But it wouldn't surprise me if there's further litigation in this. It might be that the proponents of Prop. 8 will try to get some clarification of what the scope is of Judge Walker's opinion, and that won't come from Judge Walker because he's retired, but it will come from a different district judge. More likely I think Gov. Brown has ordered that marriage licenses be issued immediately. Once that starts happening, and I don't see a constraint to it because there was a stay in place pending resolution of the Supreme Court's appeal, and I think in short order that will be dissolved.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>John Eastman, a lawyer for the National Organization for Marriage, argues that the Supreme Court's ruling on DOMA should leave the decision up to the states: \"DOMA’s decision by the court, which specifically says that marriage policy is a core function of the states and that the federal government can’t interfere with that, strongly suggests that Judge Walker’s opinion in the Proposition 8 case, which is the last opinion standing in the Proposition 8 case right now, is invalid and has been superseded by that DOMA decision. Because what he did was strike down California’s effort that has its own merits policy, as reflected in Proposition 8. So I think we’ve got a lot of litigation still to go on whether that decision has to be overruled.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Amar says this is unlikely, though: \"A big question is whether anyone can validly raise this kind of argument in front of the 9th Circuit or the District Court. In light of today's Perry ruling, Prop. 8 proponents have no right to have the 9th Circuit take another look at what Judge Walker did, or at the scope of his remedy either. And the governor and attorney general certainly are not going to ask the 9th Circuit to do anything other than allow Judge Walker's order to go into effect. So unless the 9th Circuit decides, on its own, to re-examine Walker's ruling, or unless someone else, like a county clerk, successfully intervenes to defend Proposition 8, and both of these are unlikely. I think the same-sex marriage train will leave the station here in California pretty soon. I think, and have argued for years, that this is the right result. California will join the same-sex marriage column of states largely because of the decisions of accountable, elected officials - the governor and the attorney general - rather than because of 9th Circuit judges.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>So if same-sex marriage is legal, what happens to domestic partnerships?\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>This is also unclear. David Levine, professor of law at UC Hastings College of the Law, says: \"Presumably it will effectively change over to a marriage. When we had the interim period under the California Supreme Court, in effect that was what was going to happen. So, I think probably it’ll, in effect, automatically happen. But again that’s something that we’re going to have to get some direction. The state officials in Sacramento will be issuing some directives to the appropriate county officials. So, we’ll see. But I think, as a practical matter, it will turn into a marriage.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>What about federal areas, like immigration and taxes?\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The Supreme Court's ruling on the Defense of Marriage Act covers changes to federal issues, such as immigration and taxes.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The Supreme Court found that a portion of DOMA is unconstitutional because it violates equality principles by treating same-sex and heterosexual couples differently, even when states recognize same-sex couples and heterosexual couples the same, according to Amar.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad floatright]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>While the Supreme Court can direct, it cannot legislate. Our experts agreed that the details will probably have to be handled by the Obama administration. Schacter says: \"If section 3, as I believe, of DOMA is now unconstitutional in any respect, then there won’t be any reason for the Obama administration – which I think is inclined to recognize same-sex marriages – not to do that in the context of immigration and beyond. So, they’re going to have to go agency by agency and issue some regulations and public directives explaining how same-sex couples can achieve recognition from the federal government in these different areas.\"\u003c/p>\n\n",

Now the U.S. Supreme Court has ruled that Prop. 8 supporters did\u003cem> not\u003c/em> have standing to appeal, Judge Vaughn Walker's decision that Prop. 8 is unconstitutional currently stands.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>So what's standing?\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>UC Davis law professor Vik Amar explains:\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

For example, if I voted against Prop. 8, and I thought it was a bad deal, I couldn't sue to challenge Prop. 8, even if it offended me, unless I'm a same-sex person, which I'm not. Standing makes sure we have the right parties in the case so that the courts aren't shooting their mouths off and making new rulings just in abstract context.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"Usually we focus on whether the plaintiffs have standing. This was an unusual case because we were focusing on whether the defendants -- the proponents of Prop. 8 -- had standing, and the real question is whether the proponents are adequate representatives of the voters of the state of California. And the Supreme Court said that they are not. The Supreme Court said that they are private persons. They are not the same as public state officials.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"If the Brown administration had appealed Judge Walker's decision to the 9th Circuit but said, 'By the way, we agree with the plaintiff, the challengers,' then the Supreme Court might have had a much harder time getting rid of this case. It might have had to reach the merits as it did in the Defense of Marriage Act case.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>When can same-sex marriages resume?\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The Supreme Court gave the 9th Circuit Court 25 days before the appeals court has to lift the stay, or hold, on Walker's ruling. This period comes directly from Supreme Court rules -- whenever the high court makes a ruling, the loser has 25 days to file for a rehearing before anything can happen.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>California also has to decide how they are going to interpret the ruling. Gov. Jerry Brown ordered the Department of Public Health - which oversees marriage licenses, birth and death certificates, and other such documents - to advise the 58 counties of California to commence same-sex marriages as soon as the stay is lifted. Each county has to decide how they will prepare.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Attorney General Kamala Harris in a speech asked the court to lift the stay quickly: \"I am also calling on the 9th Circuit today to urge them in the strongest terms that they lift the stay and enforce the permanent injunction that Vaughn Walker outlined so that marriages can begin in California immediately.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c!--more-->\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Will the legal struggle continue in California?\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>It's unclear whether the lawsuits will continue. Someone with standing would need to challenge Walker's ruling.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Amar believes that only a county clerk could do so: \"The only scenario I envision is if a county clerk who feels that he should not be bound by Judge Walker's order, and that he is not controllable by the governor, from some conservative county wants to refuse to issue marriage licenses and goes to court and says he shouldn't be governed by any of this because he never had his day in court, he wasn't in San Francisco defending Prop 8. That's the only kind of individual or party left I could see to stand in the way.\"\u003cbr>\n\u003c!--more-->\u003cbr>\nJane Schacter, professor of law at Stanford Law School, agrees that a county clerk refusal could restart the process: \"What I think will happen at that point, it would not surprise me if in some more culturally conservative part of the state, a local county clerk says, 'Well, I don’t think the governor had the power to order me to do this, I don’t think I’m bound by Judge Walker’s order, and therefore I’m not going to give you a license.' At that point, a same-sex couple may go to court to try to get that license and we may be off to the races with further litigation. Now, this really is a law professor’s dream. Will that be in state court? Will that be in federal court? Will it be about the scope of Walker’s decision? Will it be about the scope of the governor’s authority to decide what to do in these circumstances? Any number of questions, but I think there is no question that a lot of same-sex couples in short order are going to start marrying again in California.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Schacter also says that, while unlikely, Walker's opinion could be open to interpretation: \"The question is does Judge Walker's opinion, which was issued not in a class action but a lawsuit involving two couples, does it bind and apply statewide to other couples who are not part of the litigation? I think the governor will aggressively take the position that the state was a party in the case, the state is not contesting the decision of Judge Walker, therefore Prop. 8 is no longer enforceable. But it wouldn't surprise me if there's further litigation in this. It might be that the proponents of Prop. 8 will try to get some clarification of what the scope is of Judge Walker's opinion, and that won't come from Judge Walker because he's retired, but it will come from a different district judge. More likely I think Gov. Brown has ordered that marriage licenses be issued immediately. Once that starts happening, and I don't see a constraint to it because there was a stay in place pending resolution of the Supreme Court's appeal, and I think in short order that will be dissolved.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>John Eastman, a lawyer for the National Organization for Marriage, argues that the Supreme Court's ruling on DOMA should leave the decision up to the states: \"DOMA’s decision by the court, which specifically says that marriage policy is a core function of the states and that the federal government can’t interfere with that, strongly suggests that Judge Walker’s opinion in the Proposition 8 case, which is the last opinion standing in the Proposition 8 case right now, is invalid and has been superseded by that DOMA decision. Because what he did was strike down California’s effort that has its own merits policy, as reflected in Proposition 8. So I think we’ve got a lot of litigation still to go on whether that decision has to be overruled.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Amar says this is unlikely, though: \"A big question is whether anyone can validly raise this kind of argument in front of the 9th Circuit or the District Court. In light of today's Perry ruling, Prop. 8 proponents have no right to have the 9th Circuit take another look at what Judge Walker did, or at the scope of his remedy either. And the governor and attorney general certainly are not going to ask the 9th Circuit to do anything other than allow Judge Walker's order to go into effect. So unless the 9th Circuit decides, on its own, to re-examine Walker's ruling, or unless someone else, like a county clerk, successfully intervenes to defend Proposition 8, and both of these are unlikely. I think the same-sex marriage train will leave the station here in California pretty soon. I think, and have argued for years, that this is the right result. California will join the same-sex marriage column of states largely because of the decisions of accountable, elected officials - the governor and the attorney general - rather than because of 9th Circuit judges.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>So if same-sex marriage is legal, what happens to domestic partnerships?\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>This is also unclear. David Levine, professor of law at UC Hastings College of the Law, says: \"Presumably it will effectively change over to a marriage. When we had the interim period under the California Supreme Court, in effect that was what was going to happen. So, I think probably it’ll, in effect, automatically happen. But again that’s something that we’re going to have to get some direction. The state officials in Sacramento will be issuing some directives to the appropriate county officials. So, we’ll see. But I think, as a practical matter, it will turn into a marriage.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>What about federal areas, like immigration and taxes?\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The Supreme Court's ruling on the Defense of Marriage Act covers changes to federal issues, such as immigration and taxes.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The Supreme Court found that a portion of DOMA is unconstitutional because it violates equality principles by treating same-sex and heterosexual couples differently, even when states recognize same-sex couples and heterosexual couples the same, according to Amar.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

Schacter says: \"If section 3, as I believe, of DOMA is now unconstitutional in any respect, then there won’t be any reason for the Obama administration – which I think is inclined to recognize same-sex marriages – not to do that in the context of immigration and beyond. So, they’re going to have to go agency by agency and issue some regulations and public directives explaining how same-sex couples can achieve recognition from the federal government in these different areas.\"\u003c/p>\n\n\u003c/div>\u003c/p>",

But the way the GGNRA sees it, what really goes on after dark at Ocean Beach bears little resemblance to an old-fashioned sing-along around a modest fire.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“It hasn’t just been the classic 1950s clambake on the beach,” said Howard Levitt, GGNRA communications director.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Instead, he said, rangers and National Park Police have had to deal with “everything from underage drinking to … assaults, narcotic use,” and other crime, plus trash, hot coals, nails and broken glass left behind.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“It’s a shame that it hasn’t remained a really wholesome activity, as it should be,” Levitt said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>All those fires add up to a lot of time, effort and money spent making sure park visitors stay safe, a situation exacerbated by federal budget “sequestration” cuts, Levitt said. He said that although he couldn’t yet provide data to quantify the crime problem, the GGNRA is working on compiling that information to support the agency’s claims. \u003c!--more-->\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>However, GGNRA law enforcement records obtained by the Ocean Beach Bulletin show that in 2011, officers responded to at least 40 complaints about bonfires on Ocean Beach or nearby GGNRA lands. That figure represents only direct complaints about fires and does not include bonfires that may have been burned in violation of fire rules but about which no one complained, and it doesn’t include crimes that may have occurred near the fires.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Given the number of people who visit the beach for bonfires on some nights, some crime and litter may be inevitable. On Friday, June 21 a reporter counted 31 bonfires on Ocean Beach between the Cliff House and Fulton Street, at least a few of them fueled by piles of wooden pallets.\u003c/p>\n\u003caside class=\"pullquote alignleft\">“I think there’s a very important and basic part of California culture here.”\u003c/aside>\n\u003cp>That’s many more fires than the half-dozen pits currently provided for them, and almost twice as many as would be allowed if the 16 pits Saddler says are supposed to be there were installed. At 9:30 p.m., just half an hour before the 10 p.m. closing time for the City-owned parking lot closest to the area where fires are allowed, west of Golden Gate Park, groups of people were still arriving on the beach with armloads of wood to start new fires.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But not every night is like that: The previous night, at the same time, just one fire burned in the same part of the beach.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>And just because some people choose to ignore the rules about beach fires doesn’t mean that everyone should be punished by shutting them down altogether, Saddler said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“There are people who do bad things. We live in an urban environment,” he said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The fact that fires are allowed on Ocean Beach at all is due largely to an agreement among the GGNRA, San Francisco’s Surfrider chapter and the group Burners Without Borders. That agreement, hammered out under the GGNRA’s previous superintendent, replaced an earlier potential ban on fires with an experimental arrangement that restricted fires to their current zone near the park, brought in artistic fire pits created by Burners Without Borders and asked Surfrider to organize frequent cleanups of that part of the beach.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>While Burners and Surfrider did put in substantial effort in good faith, Levitt said, things just aren’t working out.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Both Saddler and Levitt said they would seek to provide the Ocean Beach Bulletin with a copy of that document, but at the time of this article’s publication neither had done so. Neither responded to subsequent emails requesting a copy of the agreement.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Levitt said that whatever changes the GGNRA eventually proposes, things will remain as they are through at least the summer. And after that, any proposal would go through an official process including an opportunity for public input.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The Surfrider Foundation San Francisco chapter isn’t waiting for that process, though. The group already is collecting information about the beach fires and possible changes through \u003ca href=\"https://docs.google.com/forms/d/1C4otzoImLiM9bq0Kh5_oCwWO7PcBr6bXOG1dClRhEc0/viewform\" target=\"_blank\">an online survey\u003c/a> to inform its positions on the future of bonfires on Ocean Beach.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>For more information about Ocean Beach bonfire regulations, visit the \u003ca href=\"http://www.nps.gov/goga/parkmgmt/fire_beachfireregs.htm\" target=\"_blank\">GGNRA website\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\n",

But the way the GGNRA sees it, what really goes on after dark at Ocean Beach bears little resemblance to an old-fashioned sing-along around a modest fire.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

He said that although he couldn’t yet provide data to quantify the crime problem, the GGNRA is working on compiling that information to support the agency’s claims. \u003c!--more-->\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>However, GGNRA law enforcement records obtained by the Ocean Beach Bulletin show that in 2011, officers responded to at least 40 complaints about bonfires on Ocean Beach or nearby GGNRA lands. That figure represents only direct complaints about fires and does not include bonfires that may have been burned in violation of fire rules but about which no one complained, and it doesn’t include crimes that may have occurred near the fires.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Given the number of people who visit the beach for bonfires on some nights, some crime and litter may be inevitable. On Friday, June 21 a reporter counted 31 bonfires on Ocean Beach between the Cliff House and Fulton Street, at least a few of them fueled by piles of wooden pallets.\u003c/p>\n\u003caside class=\"pullquote alignleft\">“I think there’s a very important and basic part of California culture here.”\u003c/aside>\n\u003cp>That’s many more fires than the half-dozen pits currently provided for them, and almost twice as many as would be allowed if the 16 pits Saddler says are supposed to be there were installed. At 9:30 p.m., just half an hour before the 10 p.m. closing time for the City-owned parking lot closest to the area where fires are allowed, west of Golden Gate Park, groups of people were still arriving on the beach with armloads of wood to start new fires.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But not every night is like that: The previous night, at the same time, just one fire burned in the same part of the beach.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>And just because some people choose to ignore the rules about beach fires doesn’t mean that everyone should be punished by shutting them down altogether, Saddler said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“There are people who do bad things. We live in an urban environment,” he said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The fact that fires are allowed on Ocean Beach at all is due largely to an agreement among the GGNRA, San Francisco’s Surfrider chapter and the group Burners Without Borders. That agreement, hammered out under the GGNRA’s previous superintendent, replaced an earlier potential ban on fires with an experimental arrangement that restricted fires to their current zone near the park, brought in artistic fire pits created by Burners Without Borders and asked Surfrider to organize frequent cleanups of that part of the beach.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>While Burners and Surfrider did put in substantial effort in good faith, Levitt said, things just aren’t working out.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Both Saddler and Levitt said they would seek to provide the Ocean Beach Bulletin with a copy of that document, but at the time of this article’s publication neither had done so. Neither responded to subsequent emails requesting a copy of the agreement.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Levitt said that whatever changes the GGNRA eventually proposes, things will remain as they are through at least the summer. And after that, any proposal would go through an official process including an opportunity for public input.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The Surfrider Foundation San Francisco chapter isn’t waiting for that process, though. The group already is collecting information about the beach fires and possible changes through \u003ca href=\"https://docs.google.com/forms/d/1C4otzoImLiM9bq0Kh5_oCwWO7PcBr6bXOG1dClRhEc0/viewform\" target=\"_blank\">an online survey\u003c/a> to inform its positions on the future of bonfires on Ocean Beach.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>For more information about Ocean Beach bonfire regulations, visit the \u003ca href=\"http://www.nps.gov/goga/parkmgmt/fire_beachfireregs.htm\" target=\"_blank\">GGNRA website\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\n\u003c/div>\u003c/p>",

Here's an edited transcript:\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>STEPHANIE MARTIN\u003c/strong>: Ms. Smith, since you stepped into your new role a few months ago you've been facing a massive backlog of repair work that needs to be done. How are you tackling this on behalf of residents?\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>BARBARA SMITH, EXEC. DIR., SFHA\u003c/strong>: We have enormous challenges at the Housing Authority, including a huge budget deficit, and we're doing everything we can to address the backlog of work orders. We have reorganized our maintenance department, reinstated a director of maintenance who five years ago managed maintenance operations. We have a new IT system that enables our foreman to dispatch workers to properties much more efficiently than in the past.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>We have a shortage of staff, however. And we don't have a maintenance mechanic position or a maintenance general classification at each property. This maintenance mechanic position would enable us to address resident needs much more quickly. \u003c!--more-->\u003cstrong>\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>MARTIN\u003c/strong>: And I understand that you're working on that but labor negotiations are tying that up ...\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>SMITH\u003c/strong>: We're in the midst of labor negotiations now. We have gotten 90% of our labor contracts in place, for 90% of our workers. We still need to work with the specialized craft unions to get them to agree to allow this maintenance generalist classification to do all the repair work that comes up at properties on a day-to-day basis: plumbing repairs, clogged drains, light bulbs out, carpentry work, door hinges that are broken. Things like that really make a difference to the residents.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>MARTIN\u003c/strong>: Any idea when this will actually be completed?\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>SMITH\u003c/strong>: Well, we're hoping soon.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>MARTIN\u003c/strong>: Mr. Torres, auditors also found many units sit empty and unrepaired while at the same time, people can languish for years on the housing wait list. How are you addressing that\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>JOAQUIN TORRES, PRESIDENT, SFHA BD. OF COMMISSIONERS\u003c/strong>: I think it's always important to make clear that resident needs are our first priority. And it was very disconcerting for us to see as a new commission, who had our first meeting on February 14, to see the backlog of both 276 vacant units as well as a wait list that had not yet been updated in quite some time, and how that was a very real concern for residents and for advocacy groups who were speaking on behalf of those resident needs.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>My understanding now is that we have been pushing staff to make sure that that list is updated starting at the beginning of July. With regards to the 276 vacant units, a lot of the progress that we've been able to make in such a short time is due to new partnerships that have been in place.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>As it is for KQED, all the partners that you have, we need as many partners to make sure that our process to reform the Authority is strong and true. And one of the ways that we're working on dealing with these vacant units is working with HUD. They gave us about $1.5 million to ensure that we had some funding that would've been used for other purposes to go toward rehabbing some of those units. That was complemented with about $600,000 from the mayor's office to make sure we had funding in place to begin that process. And we're very much looking forward to getting those units up and running. We have a leasing fair that will take place, the Potrero units, in about two weeks time, and we're looking to get some units filled up that way too.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>MARTIN\u003c/strong>: Ms. Smith, auditors and residents say the Housing Authority needs to be more accountable and transparent, especially when it comes to tracking clients and complaints. When will a better computer system be available for residents to see just how their requests are being tracked?\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>SMITH\u003c/strong>: We actually do have a new computer system that will have kiosks at 1815 Egbert Avenue, our main office, and we're hoping to have kiosks at the properties, where residents can actually check on their work order status by just going up to the kiosk and putting the number in.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>We're also implementing a voice automated system where residents can call in and they get responses - they're electronic responses, and they call in their complaint, they can describe their repair need, and then the voice automated system will give them a work order number. And they'll be able to track where it is and when it will be repaired.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>MARTIN\u003c/strong>: Mr. Torres, we know that lack of funding is a huge issue for the agency, but auditors have also documented a lot of inefficiency in the day-to-day operations. What steps are you taking to do a better job with the resources that you have?\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>TORRES\u003c/strong>: Well, one of the major pieces for us, and again I'll speak about the partnerships that we have both with the City and with the United States Department of Housing and Urban Development, and that's making sure that we are doing everything we can to transfer our operations to be in line with what is called \"asset management.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>And one of the things and pieces of funding that we're trying to access, and Barbara had spoken about it just a moment ago, was the establishment of a maintenance mechanic position that is the final piece in meeting all of the stop-loss criteria. We've made significant progress in terms of meeting everything else, and that is the last piece. For us we have very immediate financial concerns and needs, and we're very much looking forward to making sure once these negotiations get ironed out, we can begin to be financially solvent, today.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad floatright]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003ciframe src=\"https://w.soundcloud.com/player/?url=http%3A%2F%2Fapi.soundcloud.com%2Ftracks%2F97442664\" frameborder=\"no\" scrolling=\"no\" width=\"100%\" height=\"166\">\u003c/iframe>\u003c/p>\n\n",

It’s a popular culinary trend, taking us back to our hunter-gatherer roots. What does it mean? Simple. You go out into the wild, find edibles in Mother Nature’s pantry and whip up a meal. Locally, Americano’s executive chef, Kory Stewart, has taken up the pastime, leading groups on foraging expeditions. Oysters on the half shell with grilled ramp mignonette were a hit with one group he led.

It would put the sons and daughters of Filipino World War II veterans who fought alongside Americans on a fast track to citizenship. John Aspiras Jr., an 86-year-old veteran, has been waiting for his daughter’s visa to be approved for years. (Steven Cuevas / KQED)\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",
