9:00 am
outreach is being done city- wide. this is something that all neighborhoods in san francisco can really be involved in. >> sure. the vast bulk of those 35 have really been people-planned focused, so we focused on the most-directly impacted neighborhoods, and those have primarily been in district two and three, and along the port waterfront as well, a number of advisory fronts involved as well. we have had meetings at the bayview meeting center, and that was productive in helping people understand the transportation linkage from there. all of this continues to be vital importance to importance toyout youth involved in bringig other areas directly involved in what will be happening at the waterfront. supervisor campos: do you have
9:01 am
an outreach plan in place to outline what the strategy looks like in the next few months? >> we do not at this point. a lot of it has to do with when can we see substantive things to bring forward to say here is our idea on the uyouth structuring plan. we would like to bring forth an idea and improve those. supervisor campos: i appreciate that, but i think there's something to be gained from hearing from some of these groups and communities before you actually come up with something, because that may actually shape what you come up with. i think it is important, in my view, for us to engage these other neighborhoods and communities early on in the process so that it is not perceived as an afterthought, and i think the level of
9:02 am
involvement throughout the process will ensure that they participate when the event takes place. >> i thoroughly agree. i am not trying to say we do not want to incorporate these ideas as early in the process as we can. early in the process i sent around and offered to the supervisors to have a meeting in your district. i renew that now. supervisor campos: i know i would be interested, and i know other supervisors would be interested. i think that is something we should all be committed to making happen. just a couple all points, on the people's plan, i am wondering how that relates to some of the existing endeavors like the transit effectiveness project, the bike plan. what are you doing to make sure there is consistency and a strategy? >> on this one i will refer to peter albert who knows a lot
9:03 am
more about those issues. >> peter albert from mca. yes, the consistency is pretty important. -- peter albert from mta. we are choosing to benefit from this effort. for instance, even before we drafted the people plan and a bike plan, the sf park, an interesting program that helps is managing traffic. we also met with the transportation control system to look at the big picture at mta. the goal here is one of the things that i think is so important is we get to test and pilot programs that we do not often get the opportunity to do. by bringing the teams and looking at their plants, we are actually looking at elements of what they try to do without
9:04 am
stepping on the toes of the process and testing that to see how viable they can be so that that is one of the benefits michael alluded to. supervisor campos: thank you. colleagues, i do not know if you have any of their questions. i want to thank you for the presentation. really well done. why don't we now open it up to public comment. if there is any member of the public that would like to speak, please come forward. we have a very full agenda, so we will live it public, to two minutes per speaker. please come on up. -- so we will limit public comment to two minutes per speaker. >> i wanted to thank the sponsors for today's hearing. i think it is very prudent that the city keeps extra close the tensiattention on this epic eve
9:05 am
i am not a fan of this event. if my memory serves me correctly, most of the locations have been different from san francisco, so obviously holding it in san francisco will be a lot more challenging. i would like to bring up a few points for consideration. first, i would like some sort of discussion to feature how the city will handle demonstrations by activists. given san francisco's reputation i would guarantee different groups from around the world will hold demonstrations around san francisco, either positive or negative, and i think we should have at the road discussion for how that will be handled. secondly, i would like to have a discussion how we're going to handle people that are going to be driving to the different races from the sky. there is a lot of creative people, and i am sure someone
9:06 am
will figure out a way to view the event from the sky. obviously that is a very attractive way of looking at the races, so i think that should be discussed in the future. also, i would like to bring up obvious point, how will this city be protected financially in case there are problems before and during the event? obviously given the city's position financially this needs to be thoroughly discussed and all options considered publicly. thank you. supervisor campos: thank you very much any other member of the public that would like to speak? cnn, public comment is closed. colleagues, this is simply a hearing. i am wondering if we could continue this to the chair so we can have a follow-up in the future. we have a motion by supervisor farrell. if we could take that without

[applause] >> welcome, mayor lee. today we are pleased to present you with the recommendations of five community panels that have been working with me and the department of environment on the city's climate action plan. and these panels consist of businesses, community organizations, advocates and
9:23 am
nonprofits. so they're going to come up and each one of them is going to introduce themselves, read you their short recommendations and hand it to you so that you can keep it in perpetuity. or keep it for reference the next time we come back asking for questions. the first one we have is energy independence. [applause] >> my name is karrie, and i'm the managing director and a member of the energy independence advisory panel. and i'd like to read our findings to you.
9:24 am
forgive me for reading from this, but i want to make sure i get it right. the city and county of san francisco recognizes that energy use in buildings is the single largest contributor to the city and county of san francisco's carbon footprints. therefore, the san francisco department of the environment has brought together two sets of stakeholders to advise the city on building with energy issues. the first is the renewable task force. the second of which, we, the undersigned are members is the energy independence advisory pafpblet as advocacy organizations and businesses connected to the property, buildings and energy industries, we have focused on energy use, particularly natural gas use in buildings, and energy efficiency in green buildings. our main discussion was the
9:25 am
need for discussion among stakeholders in the economy, academics, building scientists, tenants, policymakers, and property owners and managers. inceased access to the latest research and information about energy efficiency and green building and the financial benefits would boost the energy efficiency sector through more effective green and social marketing and the creation of a critical mass of awareness. we are committed to working with the city to foster this type of communications. our recommendation is that the city establish a quarterly information exchange to be managed by the department of the environment. by collating requests from parties across the building sectors for relevant scientific data to support the marketing and implementation of energy efficiencies, then streamlining and submitting those requests to its academic partners on a quarterly basis and distributing the resulting data, the city could invigorate
9:26 am
the industry and provide valuable tools for all its partners in the field. we look forward to our city's strong next steps on this front. sincerely, the energy independence advisory panel to the san francisco climate action strategy. myself, also, zakary brown, also the building owners and managers association of san francisco, chris chapel from sun water solar, and jonathan from whole systems consultants. thank you. [applause] >> next up, we have emma pickering representing the transportation panel. [applause] >> hello, mayor lee. it's my pleasure to present the recommendations of the new
9:27 am
century transportation advisory panel. our organization is concerned with the san francisco transportation sector. we are writing to express our support for the city and county of san francisco greenhouse gas emissions control and specifically for the transportation actcy's climate action strategy for the transportation sector. we recognize that the transportation sector is responsible for 30% of san francisco's greenhouse gas emissions. it will be crucial for public transportation is prioritized. because human mobility is essential to our economy and to the life of every citizen, it will take organizations like ours working with the city to realize m.t.a.'s vision for the future transportation of san francisco, a safer, more efficient and lower carbon
9:28 am
vision. we remain committed to advocacy, communication and developing existing and new businesses to support the transportation infrastructure of the 2 sst century. -- 21st century. i'd like to thank the other panelists. thank you.
