of 173, $212 for a subway study. unfortunately, as we have seen, the subway is taking valuable scarce funds for the rest of the systems and have not only cut services not only in north beach but throughout the city. prop k 3 is a more higher priority for our scarce transportation dollars and that's a fast reliable bus system, rapid transit study like in mexico city and throughout the city. that hasn't been done. al train downtown extension, huge priority. in 1973, voters of /stkur ex switzerland rejected funding for transportation instead. today, it is the highest point of the highest

per capita required says in the world. 62 percent of public transit for trips to work. there are other very important items that should be studied such as the trend for free circulator buses throughout the united states as seen in baltimore, dallas, denver, rolly, oakland with a free downtown, emory ville. with the multicity free shuttles that connect vertically and in oakland and all of regional transit. the mission bay shuttle is funded but very valuable. there are many, many things that our moan should be implementing >> thank you, very much. next speaker, please. >> good morning. my name is lance and i'm a resident of

north beach. i also support extending the transit into the fisher man's wart. i read the study submitted by the ct a and m t c, the very first thing on the scope, one of the items that was requested of the people requesting the funds is the level of input into the prioritization process. and, that wasn't answered in the thing, in the bottom here. as far as i know, i don't recall any public requests or input on this or at least open public input. page two under city objective, it says three possible alignments will be examined as part of the initial study. at last week's meeting, we raised a point. we asked, okay, of

the three possible alignments, are you considering any surface options and they indicated that yes, they would be. we sent some /skpwaoepbs the planners at s fmta and s f g ta and received no reapplies. we don't know what the alignments are and what surface will be considered. the /sur plan is the primary being s sfcta managing this study. it seems like it would be much better for the /r-pbtsz and this neighborhood to have an extension of whether we need that transit into fisher men's wart. this is probably going to be like the tobacco causing cancer in the 50s. so they're going to build a subway. i

think options should be looked at as well on the surface and otherwise. thank you >> thank you, very much. neck -- next speaker, please. >> chairman avalos, members of the board, fill from the transportation and research and improvement project. we strongly support the study. we think it only makes logical transit sense to extend the t line further north all the way to the waterfront. and, we urge that you approve this proposal. thank you. >> thank you, very. . any other member of the public would like to comment? seeing none, we will close for comments. and, mr. chiu. >> thank you, very much. i

would like to say i appreciate the support of our programs and plans committee. and, i want to make really two brief points. first of all, this is a study that is long overdue. we owe it to future generations to understand the options, benefits and cost of extending a crucial transportation project that's has already been in the making. also, our project connects the eastern parts of our city where so much growth is expected to occur with a few of our northeast neighborhoods as we consider another half mile extension. we also know that north beach and fisher man's wart is a destination for jobs and /taourist all over the world.

i believe it's a study that deserves a lot more thought and a lot more analysis. i want to take a moment and thank the dedicated efforts of the community who worked hard to get us to this point, the a for their support and everyone for their persistens as we continue with this. for that, i ask for support of this item. >> thank you, very much. if there's no other comments, we can go on to roll call [roll call vote]get us to this point, ta for their support and everyone for their persistens as we continue with this. for that, i ask for support of this item. >> thank you, very much. if there's no other comments, we can go on to roll call [roll call vote].

the city and we all want to do everything we can to make sure we roll back the clock or roll back the challenges that we face with our challenges and safety in ensuring that these projects move forward sooner rather than later. i'm just excited about the ability to participate in the process of this capacity. thank you so much for bringing it forward. >> thank you. any other comments or questions? okay. any public comments? public comments is now open on this item number 14. seeing no one coming forward, we will close comments and move on to roll call vote. bracket [roll call vote]

was told this is the appropriate time to submit an memorial in memory of our chair joseph flanagan. in many years, it has already been mentioned on our transportation authority advisory committee. actually, chief commission of district 6 lives blocks away and came to every single one of our meetings and probably had a better attendance than many of us on the transportation authority. to thank him for his work on behalf of the city and for his commitment to improving transportation for all residents here. so we'll like to end and adjourn in his memory and thank him so much for his work. >> and, on behalf of the entire county and the transportation board, i'd like to adjourn in his memory. thank you for bringing that forward commissioner kim. >> so madam clerk --

>> on behalf of commissioner kim and we will adjourn on behalf of commissioner flanagan. >> thank you. and colleagues, we are add adjourned.

city of san francisco >> >> government audit and oversight committee. >> good morning, this meeting will come to order. this is the regular meeting of the government audit and oversight committee. i'm supervisor breed, chair of the meeting and to my right is supervisor katie tang and supervisor chiu will join us shortly. i would like to thank jeff larson and jennifer lowe from sfgtv. >> do we have any announcements? >> city clerk: yes. please shutdown any electronic devices. any speaker cards shall be submitted to the clerk. items will be listed on the agenda. >> madam clerk, please call the first item.

city clerk: agenda[collective bargaining agreement, arbitration award - international brotherhood of electrical workers, local 6 - fy2013-2014]1400321.sponsor: mayorordinance adopting and implementing the arbitration award amending amendment no. 2 to the 2012-2014 collective bargaining agreement between the city and county of san francisco and the international brotherhood of electrical workers, local 6, by implementing special terms and conditions of city clerk: sf 11234 >> >> >> okay. we are martin grand the employer relations director who is going to present on this item? >> yes. good morning supervisors and to the chair i'm martin grand employee relation for the department of human resources. this is for the last bargaining unit for 2012. it involves powerhouse operators and hetch hetchy and involves very complicated staffing patterns that we felt needed to be addressed off cycle and we had negotiations which ended up in arbitration. these involve powerhouse arbitrators and these are the employees whose job it is to safely load high voltage

power into the state's electrical grid. it involves delivers power to the city and this power runs our muni system and provides electricity to most of all of our city buildings. the changes required that you see in the amendment stem from regulations adopted by the regulatory agency, the north american electrical reliability association. at this has recommended training in excess prior levels and requires the city and union to negotiate new staffing levels which would allow for the training to be done on straight time rather than an over time basis. we have and arbitration award by the city

by the controller's costing document that was finalized yesterday. on one side the union ends up with the training requirement document in the collective bargaining agreement and for the city's perspective, the public utilities commission commission is a 5-day schedule than a 7-day schedule and this allows us to do the training on the straight time rather than over time and over to one of the powerhouses. i think it's a win win for both parties even though it was a long adversarial task and we bring you with an award for the center. >> thank you. is there anyone from puc here today that

wants to make any comments about this item? >> i think we have the puc standing by. do you want to say anything at all. >> sorry. you have a question. >> i know you alluded to this. what are the cost savings achieved not only for this fiscal year but for the rest. >> right. the controllers office has analyzed the cost and benefits and shows there is an overall savings of $40,000 per year on an on going basis. this is derived from $60,000 a year in regular salary savings. this is capturing a reduce in the over time in an allowing us to schedule a straight time

rather than over time basis and there is a $20,000 cost associated with this because the shifts that are used up there are 12-hour shifts because it's a remote location and the type of job it is. the 12-hour shifts don't lineup with our 80-hour work weeks and this is a small amount of built in over time. by going to this schedule, we vastly reduce the over time required to do the training. we come up well ahead. it's a strong savings for the city. >> thank you. any other questions? okay. is there someone from the puc who would like to say something? it's fine if they don't. >> i think they are available to answer questions and we have a report from the city toeshs -- attorneys office who was the hands-on

negotiator from our office which in the puc which are available. he's available to answer any details. >> great. thank you, appreciate it. let's open up for public comment. any members of the public who would like to make any comments about this item at this time? seeing none, public comment is closed. okay. colleagues, we have before us an item and there are no post amendments. can we move this to the full board without objection. without objection the item passes. thank you very much. >> madam clerk, can you please call the next item. city clerk: item no. 2 item 140147: [approving the 2014 budget and legislative analyst services work plan]1401472.sponsor: breedmotion approving the budget and legislative analyst services work plan for 2014; allocating hours for calendar year 2014; authorizing the budget and legislative analyst to reallocate up to 20 percent of the hours between service categories based on board of supervisors service needs, and requiring board of supervisors approval of hours re-allocation greater than 20 percent; establishing

performance goals; and setting a date for the 2014 annual performance evaluation of the budget and legislative analyst joint venture partnership. city clerk: item no. 2 sf 21234 breed breed okay. ms. campbell, please come up to us. >> campbell from the budget legislative analyst office. under our contract with the city we are required to submit an annual work plan and to have an annual performance evaluation. this is our proposed work plan for before you is a proposed work plan for calendar year 2014. we are already 2 months into year. it is for 16, 860 hours of service divided into three categories. it's pretty much the same plan as we submitted and worked under last year. a couple differences are under budget analysis. we have increased some of the allocations because we would be increasing budgets in may of last year. we also included and overview report on the impacts of the budget which we did last year at the request of the board and this point

we are requesting from the budget review. the other is we are recommending 16 hours of service and combined that category at the question of one committee. in terms of what that means for this year, already 2 months into year we have spent 1100 of those 6,000 hours that includes completing an audit on the children's fund and the fire ems audit that we just began. we have another audit scheduled on fire administration staffing. as counting for completing the ems audit and conducting the other audit, we still have approximately 3700 hours for the remainder of the year to complete the audit request.

the legislation also allows us to reallocate hours up to 20 percent of the course of the year if for instance budget came in over under hour or legislative items came in over or under hours. i'm available for questions. >> thank you. colleagues, are there any questions? no questions. thank you. we are going to open this up to public comment. i see a line out the door today for public comment. are there any members of the public wishing to speak on this item, seeing none. public comment is closed. colleagues, can we move this to the full board without objection. without objection the item is moved. forward to the full board. >> madam clerk, are there any other items today? >> no. that concludes the business today. >> great, meeting adjourned. >> >> [ meeting is adjourned ] >> >> >>

>> i tried to think about this room as the dream room, where we

dream and bring some of those dreams to life. i feel very blessed that i have been able to spend the last 31 years of my life doing it my way, thinking about things better interesting to me, and then pursuing them. there are a lot of different artists that come here to work, mostly doing aerial work. kindred spirits, so to speak. there is a circus company that i have been fortunate enough to work with the last couple of years. i use elements of dance and choreography and combine that with theater techniques. a lot of the work is content- based, has a strong narrative. the dancers have more of a theatrical feel. i think we are best known for our specific work. in the last 15 years, spending a

lot of time focusing on issues that affect us and are related to the african-american experience, here in the united states. i had heard of marcus shelby and had been in join his work but never had the opportunity to meet him. we were brought together by the equal justice society specifically for this project. we were charged with beginning work. marquez and i spent a lot of time addressing our own position on the death penalty, our experiences with people who had been incarcerated, family members, friends of friends. pulling our information. beyond that, we did our own research.

to create a picture that resonated with humanity. it is the shape of a house. in this context, it is also small and acts like a cell. i thought that was an interesting play on how these people make these adjustments, half to create home. what is home for these people? the home is their cell. people talk a lot about noise -- very noisy in prisons. that is interesting to me. looking at the communication level, the rise of frustration of being caged, wondering, where does redemption fit into the equation here? [singing]

i think both of us really believe the death penalty is wrong, and is flawed for many reasons. the list is as long as my arm -- about several others. we feel this is important for both of us, personally, to participate in the debate of this issue in a way that we can help people frame it for a conversation.

>> we are going to go ahead and start this meeting. we have these pink cards so if you're not the applicant yourself or just a member of the public, please go /aeu hold and fill one of them out and then we'll call public comment and you'll hear that. please leave your cell phones on vibrate. thank you for sfgtv.gov for. we'll start with roll call. >> commissioner akers. >> here. >> commissioner hyde. >> here. >> president tan. >> here. >> commissioner joseph
