lot of sense. that said, i do want to point out that a lot of the work that has been done in the last 2, 3 years, it's work that the very people who then turned around and said you know this work is incomplete, they were a part of that discussion so you know, we have to be mindful of the fact that there are going to be excuses that are going to be put forward and there are some people who are always going to use those excuses but to the extent that there are legitimate concerns that some people have, this is an opportunity to bring them in with the understanding that even if you bring in some folks they may still not be satisfied at the end i think it's important for us to give them that opportunity and i do think

that it's important that as we're defining the scope that we do check in with the advocate community to make sure that their points are taken into account. >> commissioner breed. >> yes i appreciate everyone's feedback and i'm actually very excited about this possibility and i think the time frame looks as if it could really work well for us. and i just wanted to get some clarity around the timeline specifically i know we're going to be approving next years calendar and it looks like we have a meeting on the 24th of january and another meeting on february 28th and i think that miss miller it would take you roughly sixty days to maybe prepare this rfp and i was wondering if we would maybe be able to talk about a draft or look at a draft in order to

solicit feedback from those who are interested so that we can incorporate that in the rfp before we hopefully are able to release it after we approve it maybe the february 28th meeting? >> yeah. i think the idea would be we'd start preparing -- i mean preparing the draft and then getting input from the various stakeholders that we've talked about today i think that it means we'd probably bring something back to at least discuss in january hopefully and make sure we're going in the right direction. >> right. >> and then final i guess in february unless we've been able to really move and we've got something available in january that you are comfortable with to go with. >> okay. >> i think january for sure and february if we need to talk more about it meet more with

people and flush out a little bit more. >> and also mr. brooks in public comment mentioned various scenarios -- i'm not sure of the time frame whether or not you could spell that out in the rfp, but i think that it is important to understand -- the goal, i think that i'm personally trying to get at is to provide the possibilities so i'd like to know a diverse grouping of, you know, various layers of the situation and not just okay this is what we have to do but these are the possibilities but i don't know how that works within the time frame so maybe it's something to think about and let us know what your thoughts are on that so we can determine if it will work. >> so maybe an outline in

january and you could give some feedback and i think we also need to think of resources and you know how much are we committing to this every endeavor and what's most important and where do we want to allocate because we could do a -- >> and this is something to think about because i know when i've met with mr. freid in the past about the budget many years we've given money back to the puc that we didn't use is that not the case. >> we give it back to the general fund. >> so i'm hoping that we have enough money for the current fiscal year so we could not necessarily give that money back to the general fund and use that initially with the expectation that we'd have more money in the following fiscal year to help with this process ongoing so maybe we're able to kind of balance it out over

fiscal years but it's something i know you guys have to look into and get back to on the details. >> yeah there's 2 different funds we draw money out of. we don't run that money. that's a bucket of money that's available to use from our mou and the general fund is not supposed to be use for cca but although we can change our minds but we have plenty of money right now. >> so why are we getting that money from the general fund if we can't use it for cca? >> we get money from the sfpuc and that's separate from the general fund money and we've returned the general fund money because we haven't needed it because we have enough that we need from the sfpuc. >> so if we could have an understanding of what this is going to cost if we're going to

do it, it's important we do it right and invest the necessary resources to making it happen. >> and we have to discuss with the sfpuc about the resource allocation. >> let me be clear i think at this point where we are we need a fresh pair of eyes and experts to look at this to bring all of our work together and look at it in a different way and i think it's important that we do away from the puc. >> thank you to the staff for the work and the information you brought back to us it's really helpful and i'm actually very excited and opt imistic and so i really appreciate the work that everyone has invested in making this a possibility

thank you. >> do we need to take a vote on item 3 c. >> i'd prefer if you direct staff to prepare an rfp for your consideration at least an outline at your next meeting along the lines of your discussion. >> so you want us to make a motion to approve this item? >> yes. >> so we have a motion by commissioner breed seconded by commissioner councilmember marcason mar. >> thank you for your great work on this. >> before we move onto the next item -- i don't believe that we have taken a motion to excuse commissioner, chair avalos who could not be here so if we can have a motion by commissioner

breed and if we can take that without objection. thank you. item number 4. >> 2014 lafco schedule. >> great. miss miller. >> the appropriate schedule is before you under our bye laws. >> okay so we have a motion before we take action on the motion why don't we open it up to public comment. seeing none public comment is closed so we have a motion we can take that without objection. >> we can now go to the next item item number type of. >> executive officers report. >> there's no report at this time. >> no report is there any public comment on this item? seeing none public comment is

closed. >> we can now go to item number 6. >> this is an opportunity for any members of the public to speak on any item that's not on the agenda. >> seeing no member of the public, public comment is closed. >> future agenda items. item number 7. >> is there anyone that would like to speak on any possible items? >> any member of the public? >> okay mr. brooks. >> eric brooks again. san francisco green party and also you might remember a few years ago 2006 and 7 my organization and we are still part of a coalition when when google and earth link -- we're seeing

tomorrow today or tomorrow the announcement that the fact that we kept them for actually charging us for wifi is leading to these corporations just giving it to us so that's something that's positive. and i'm hoping that in 2014 we finally do get scheduled on this item of building a public broadband internet network just like building the roads and highways we need in san francisco i'm hoping in 2014 we'll finally get action items on that and doing studies on how we can roll that out. >> great thank you very much. anything else? so not seeing any member of the public commenting this item is closed

and i believe that leads us to our next item which is item number 8 but before i do that i want to wish everyone a very happy holiday i hope you have a please ant and safe and joyful holiday season and best wishes for the new year madam clerk you can call item number 8. >> item number 8 adjournment. >> meeting adjourned thank you very much

down so i can be clear. so i want to thank you all for coming out today to celebrate the grand opening of the mary rogers senior center. i was home last time and before i went to bed i was trying to put together the words to say. i thought about it for the last several months. and i decided to frame it with a couple of points of history in my life. the first thing when i i was a teenager and attended a career day in philadelphia and learned with r what an architect does. i realized immediately that's what i wanted to do and went home and told mom and dad. my schooling prepared me for the education but the passion for

redeveloping neighborhoods you such as the western edition was god-given. it's been fulfilling over the last thirty years. the second point of my personal history is when we were asked by the members of this community to undertake the development of the filing more site. i was being asked to work on a site that has great importance. during the process of putting that project together i have frequent encounters with ms. rogers prior to her passing and i remember initialing we proposed it was a mixed project including 40 percent of the units affordable to low income residents. this was a program that was

favored by ms. rogers and many in the community but in the end the agency wanted them to be condo. we met with ms. rogers to discuss the change (laughter) >> shall i pray now? (laughter) >> she agreed to support the project spitting of her own personal desires to see something of significance to be developed in the western edition by black folk as rooerd townsend refers to us and she supported our efforts to support that project. the connection of those two points in history for me is the
