April 17, 1998
The weekend of April 17 promises 5 DAYS of continuous sunshine. As we all reflect on what happened this winter, ABAG would like to take this opportunity to announce a post(we hope)-El Niño conference. Speakers from state and federal agencies will assess the accuracy of weather predictions and local government officials will present the lessons learned in dealing with flooding and landslides. A complete conference program with online registration is available at http://www.abag.ca.gov/bayarea/enviro/ElNinoconf.html.

abagOnline has added a pointer to the new City of Santa Monica Draft Telecommunications Master Plan as part of our Telecommunications issues page. Thanks to Brian Moura for this notice.

abagOnline has published the City of Pleasanton's proposed Saturday Night Special ordinance at http://www.abag.ca.gov/bayarea/junkguns/ordinances.htm as part of our Junk Gun issues page. This ordinance will not be effective unless ratified at the June 1998 election. We have also provided a copy of Pleasanton's zoning ordinance for firearm dealers.

abagOnline is now offering Chinese language menus on our home page and second level directories. This posting furthers our experiment in increasing the accessibility to abagOnline. At this time the Chinese language pages, in Big 5 traditional, are viewable through machines with a Chinese operating system, or through Internet Explorer 3 or 4, with a free matching Add-on from Microsoft. The pages may also be viewed in Netscape 4 with a shareware helper application. If you have previously installed the Japanese language Add-on for Internet Explorer, you may have difficulty seeing the Chinese fonts.

The agendas for ABAG standing committeees are now being routinely posted at http://www.abag.ca.gov/abag/events/agendas/. The agendas are presented in Adobe Acrobat PDF format and a free plug-in is available for your web browser. Acrobat PDF files are frequently used to post documents on federal websites and the format is superior for retaining the look and feel of the original. After extensive tests, ABAG concluded that the PDF format allowed us to post agendas in a timely manner with greatly reduced effort and staff training.
March 11, 1998
As part of our continuing experiment in increasing the accessibility to, and navigation ease of, abagOnline, we are now offering our main menus in the Spanish language at our home page. The Spanish language pages may be viewed directly with your browser and do not require a plug-in.

The San Francisco Private Industry Council helps to promote and foster employment opportunities for the structurally unemployed, the under-employed and other economically disadvantaged members of the community. In fulfilling this purpose, it uses government and private funds to set up training and job placement programs, involves large and small employers in definition and implementation of training programs, works with local school systems to improve the employability of students, and works closely with local government, community organizations and economic development interests to improve growth and job opportunities.
abagOnline is proud to host their new website located at www.picsf.org
