determined the rules, which we are coming out with the rules then you could actually market and you can start marketing now it is just that we have to put the on-line system in place so that you could put the applications in. that we will put it on-line application and the process in place. and that sounds like a little progress and i would urge. >> and more credit than that. >> and i would urge that the general manager of staying in contact with them and accidental and make sure that they are actually true that they will be able to market it right away because like i say, on again or off again, and no matter how much funding is going to be and it is really strain. >> on the other hand we had the rain today so you never can tell.

>> part of what i do for the grassroots organization i called them on the phone to get an update on the organization and to keep them you know to get them to fund and things like that. and to quite often i get comments and frustration with the sf program, and the funding is not there and the part of the solar panels on there on the roof and so i would say whatever it takes let's accelerate this as quickly as possible as issuing this funtding because in the beginning the changes being made is positive and we need to get the train going and keep it rolling. >>

>> one of the things that we did when i first became the chair was to send off a letter to the mayor, to the puc and to thank you for all of your work that brought us to this moment with double the fupding on go solar sf, and there is a lot of excitement and as you hear there say lot of support for the changes. and you want to extend the offer to president torres if it is appropriate we would love to have a joint meeting and lend our support to help you to address this big question of what is the long term funding opportunities for the program so we are not having the conversation and where we will going through the peaks and valleys and something for the long term. and there is a lot of expertise and a lot of heart over at our shop and the commission as well. so we love to do that. when the time is right. and again, thank you just to add a couple of quick points. i don't know if we have enough

of these stake holders meetings, that it is not just the ability to market the program, but i think that this challenge is real that if there is a way to get the ability and not just to market but to get the applications filed is the key. because if you market to them and say we will call you back in october you will lose the customer and i know that from listening to the intallers and if we could be flexible to get it in place tomorrow but august first could be a good day to where even if you had to use the existing levels of the installers to put the customers in the kiss temperature so you get it approved today and up and running we are going to miss this window and the idea of looking at the state certified apprenticeship and also service to employers and also to go through the ups and down to carry them through the payroll and the program helps

you to supply the target workers when the need is there. this last final point, commissioner, has good direction of something to talk about in the meetings but i would offer, if it did not have to be an amendment because everything that is before you today has been vetted for dozens and dozens of hours, by a lot of folks and i am trying to understand exactly. i think that i know what the goal is, but i would love to be part of everyone in this room to talk about it and know that it is a direction from at a minimum, commissioner moran and the commission and they do not hard code it into the ordinance or whatever you have in front of you, the resolution at this time. >> thanks. >> okay. >> thank you very much. >> any further comments? >> hearing a motion? >> where are we? >> do you want to restrike the motion with the amendment counsel? are you deferring to commissioner moran? >> he has the language. >> resolution, just restate

your amendment. >> it is adding whereas the goal of the program currently accepts the applications from all private customers in san francisco, and newly resolves that it directs the new manager to provide further improvements for the program for implementation 26014, and the stake holders and the program, focused on our customers. >> all right. >> and so, i appreciate the amendment and because, one of the things that i think has come up repeatedly is the question of the tower and it feels like at least it gives us the opportunity to open up that conversation, and really see what that really means, and you know, i should think at this time, having all of the customers in here does not mean that at a future date we could not add an additional amend. but it collar identifies at least where we are with the variety of programs that we are

looking at. and you know, opportunity, and really to unpack each of those customer classes and see what we are talking about which we don't really know right now. >> and they do like the piece too, additionally that talks about you know, directing the general manager to look at different components that could make the program stronger. and if we do indeed, approve this, resolution, and amendment and move forward with it and i would also like one of those considerations to be either as quickly on the freedom (inaudible) and potential energy fees to really pay for this and to look at the bigger issue is how to fund this program on an ongoing basis and some kind of a fee structure that we could look at that could support that effort and i would like to call that out as a peacably work that comes out of in this proposed amendment >> it is a recommendation and not additional language. >> correct. >> so i got you. >> and the sense of the commission, and that would support and the commission as

well? >> any other comments? >> all right. it has been moved as amended. >> call the roll. >> second? >> second. >> all of those in favor signify by saying hao*i. >> aye. >> aye. >> opposed? the mission carries. >> thank you. >> are we ready for the closed session? i will accept a motion. >> public comment for the closed session? >> once i get the motion done. >> so moved. >> all right. >> second. >> all right we have a motion for attorney client privilege, is there any public comment on the closed session agenda? >> all right, there being none we will move to the closed session. >> closed session item 17.

>> the clerk: appropriating budgets for if i feel year-ending june 30, 2014, and 2015. the salary in ordinance numerating positions in annual budget for the fiscal year ending june 14th and 15. >> can we do these two items same call? >> these items passed. items 20. >> approving and authorizing the lease and management of botanical garden for waving fees. updating the fees for the east and west harbor and

establishing a facility rental fee and repealing obsolete provisions. >> roll call vote. items 19 and 20. avalos no, breed aye, campos no, chiu, aye, supervisor cohen, aye, ferrel aye, kim, aye, mar, no, tang aye, yee aye. >> those ordinance pass. why don't we call item 21 and 65 >> item 21 is an ordinance amending the code to clarify

certain procedures provided for appeal in exemptions and neglect ever deck largsz revising noticing procedures for environmental impact reports and negative declaration for plan area projects exceeding 20 acres. and item 65 is an ordinance to repeal to the environmental review officer to consider an amended review of a modification does not require a new decision under the california environmental quality act. item 65 was considered by the land use and economic development committee at a regular meeting on monday july 22nd. >> supervisor kim? >> thank you, this is the final

piece of legislation that has come before the full board. the legislation was initially introduced by our office along with supervisors campos avalos, mar and yee. as one final piece of the appeals process that members our advocates fought for. this is around specifically when an exempt project is modified and therefore is referred by a city department planning for the ero for a new look and the ero determines that it fits under the current exemption. this allows a member of p be to actually appeal to the ero and what it may or may not have under the public setting. this is a last piece under very delicately balanced set of legislation reform to the ceqa process and keeping the entire party in coalition together. so i do want to again thank our

city attorney, chiu, supervisor wiener and planning for continued work on all aspects of this legislation together and look forward to passing those both pieces today. thank you. >> supervisor wiener? >> thank you, mr. president, colleagues i want to thank you again last week for the unanimous assets of the legislation that i forward and i hope will result in a significant improvement to the ceqa process in a clear deadline specifically triggered by the first approval of the project. i think it's a significant step forward. regarding the trailing with the legislation sponsored by supervisor kim, i will be supporting the legislation today. although i don't believe it to be a necessary in terms of having good process, i

understand there is a dire for it and for how it is drafted and what i introduced to the committee yes, i'm uncomfortable supporting it. in terms of contact, the issue of modification, is the issue of debate and discussion for months. there was a concern by some folks who were opposing my legislation that something could be modified and there would not be an opportunity to appeal. supervisor kim's original legislation provided for effectively an appeal or potentially an appeal every time a modification occurred and i thought it would make our process even worse than today. i allow multiple appeals. i want to thank supervisor kim

for really modifying that modification provision and i'm comfortable supporting it because what it basically does is it allows people who are concerned or believe that a modification should result in a new categorical exemption to ask the.ero to take a second look and providing information and really taking that second look. this appeal to the ero will not stop the project from proceeding and will not stop construction. it is not an appealable decision and can't be further an appealed. given all that it will not slowdown projects which have been approved which has been a big problem for projects in the city and i'm comfortable supporting it. >> thank you, colleagues,

unless there is any further discussion, let's take a roll call vote on item 21. the clerk: avalos, breed, aye, chiu, aye, supervisor cohen, aye, supervisor ferrel, aye, supervisor kim, aye, mar, aye, tang, aye, supervisor wiener aye, yee, aye. >> can we take on the first item with same call? item passes. >> madam clerk, call item 22. >> the clerk: item 22. moss

skoen expansion project. supervisor avalos? >> thank you, at the committee last week i asked for a report from dpw how we are going to be showing the expansion project that we make sure we hire locally and hitting our strong marks for participation. i was wondering if dpw could be here to share? >> good afternoon, supervisors, supervisor avalos requested the project data for both san francisco general hospital rebuild and the moss skoen

renovation. there was an lbe goal set at 1 percent and -- 18 percent and it exceeded 20 percent. for local higher we reported 18 percent. we were mistaken because the renovation had both public and private funds that supported the project. we were able to go back and request some data because there was no cpr's collected from on the privately held contracts. we were still able to get some data and the current numbers that we are seeing is it exceeded 22 percent. >> that was for what year? >> that was the project came online in -- 2010. >> okay. so that was the time when we were actually at 20 percent in terms of our local

hire ordinance and before it passed. i appreciate that. i want to make sure moving forward for very large projects that we are going to have an estimate for local business enterprise, a goal that will be based on our past experience that is going to be strong and make sure that local business enterprises are going to get inclusion in that project in the same for local hire. >> absolutely. >> thank you very much. appreciate you coming in. >> colleagues, can we take the same item, same call? without objection, this item passes. >> item 23. >> the clerk:. southeast water pollution control plant at 750 phelps street. >> colleagues, can we do this

the clerk: budget and legislative analyst services. >> supervisor ferrel? >> thank you president chiu. i want to state publically and as i said before how much i appreciate mr. row's work and that of his colleagues and look forward to a relationship and i hope we have everyone's support. >> supervisor mar? >> i wanted to thank mr. rho and hi staff but also the legislative analyst report has done amazing work. i don't know what we would do without their insightful and independent analysis of the budget. as the preparation of the legislative analyst report, a number of them and others have been, it's been wonderful to work with them. i really appreciate their services and don't know what we would do without them as a city. thank you.

>> supervisor campos? >> thank you, very much, mr. chairman, i was joking that it's really hard to approve an item without having a budget and legislative analyst. this is the catch 22 that we find ourselves on this one. it is of course absolutely fitting that this is what is before us. the thing i appreciate about mr. rho 's work that time and time again we have put out the bid and they have risen to the top. it's because of the quality of the work and the integrity with which they approach it and it really is impossible to imagine the board of supervisors without the work of mr. rho's and his firm. >> colleagues, same house, same

call. this motion is an approved. it is now 2:30. i would like to recognize our district 9 colleague supervisor campos. >> thank you very much, mr. president, it is my honor to honor today a very special member of our community and if i may ask him to please come on up. can you please come to the podium. i know that there are a number of people that are here in honor of dido. i have known him from even before my time in the board of supervisors. the first time i met him, i
