elevator the behalf metal and it is sustainable it needs to be cleaned regularly if i look at the freight can it says harmful or fatality if swallowed or inhaled okay. so we have something in here that hurts people and it is a small print it says (inaudible) accurate this is something for everybody (laughter) so the picture is are here (inaudible) go clean an elevator so you want to clean an slate and you take (inaudible) maybe you have lost the can (inaudible) you take off the top and spray

believing in we were doing so (clapping.) thank jessie on our team and donny for putting 0 this together i wanted to give you the spirit of the event we have great press as well a couple of other things going on we havey launched the electrical vehicle working group you'll be hooefrg about this in the commission was is the city going to be doing to promote electrical vehicles obviously our first goal to get people out of their cars but if they're in a car not running on fossil fuel and rfps coming out wanting to do a railroad organization and deep dive into our energy program the rfp is closed we're going to bring an outside

consultant to better reorganize staff i'm replacing them with the level of folks that can do the work on the post office the last time i showed you the postings and how the inspector generally did a survey the post offices around the country and found san francisco has the worse record for krooirl you asked how you can help so the letter that the commissioner signed invited the povsz to cob could you be with the progress report they're on notice your inviting them back since that time they've invited our staff to do 18 site visits so on 18 site facilities they've changed out their service contract so get much for recycling and come posting and we've signed them up

with our contractor for it is a huge postal area they want to have a great story when they can be (clapping) this is a huge week in prevention i'm grateful for jim glover he signed two builds around compost one is taking away the daily cover for green waste that means that the cities at&t park the state will not be able to hide behind their green daily cover its not counted at diversions in san francisco it's a small number we're not afraid of logging that diversion credit but hurt a lot of cities that are produced of their diversion rates brown signed the bag band

and yeah. to that (clapping) i love the quote from i'm not the he did this on purpose we're the first to ban the bags and we won't be the last so clearly san francisco was the first to ban the bags and sure did seven years we were not the last and my guess is not california is not going to be the late this is a wonderful day we have truth and landlord-tenant on family retardant we got a lot of wind this legislation session i'm proud of the staff that worked with the lobbyists i want to do another heads up to the operations committee donny and his team are launching what we're calling a brand centralizing and reinvigorating effort this came up with

something that commissioner wald as talked about i've heard her talk about that this frustration with our name are we sf environment are we a city department how do we communicate we're innovative and try to we are calling this a strengthening and any visiting we're going to be meeting internally and the commission is going to have to be a strong partner and come to the operations economy we'll be inviting you in and coming back to the full commission and the last piece of news i want to share with you is that cal has been our phenomenal climate lead decided to leave city government after she recovered from a very bad accident had an e that i have necessary in mere life

wants to be in nature more working with the marin cash project and, yes for cal to be working with them lucky her and us she's promised me to guide me as help me as we hire a replacement even though we're sad for her losses that's my update for now. >> thank you director for all your work (clapping) colleagues your great work i'll add the ad jeff colleagues questions or comments. >> all right. kudos and thank you you know, i think that you know one of the things that you know we can talk about on the

next maybe for future agenda items but spring or is it summer the u.s. conference of mayors are in san francisco we were in a meeting director reaping he will about the passion that mayor ed lee has for zero waste and community partnerships to do that and engaging as we try to get to zero waste nothing it going to land file we're right now at only 20 percent flip the 80 percent it is going away from landfill at one hundred we're at zero waste he's pack at about and to present the opportunity and this brainstorm we've had to an though how to get to the last 20 from 20 percent down to zero and perpetrate it as something

to work with that the mayor can show case to the other mayors apart from things we do but our pathway to zero waste sets up apart from the nation and parching with the community of color pea workers is something that came out of our meeting such the next week day i met that sxhoild and she proposed having a community depth working with the community organizations particularly in community or color and low income community and limited english speakers that's an innovation that could be a last mile with respect to the 20 percent at&t park zero waste so you thought that was great she talked about sherry macintyre those kinds of innovations at the conference of mayors and something to work

through that will be exciting especially with the idea of commissioner wald wanting a council you you know things happen you could be great great to link up with the council to move the needle they'll find that right now food scrapes are that ended up in the landfill and in the black bin instead of the green bin and get this out in a language that's the languages spoken at home in a way to move the needle back to zero waste this item about clean paper is somehow ended up in the green bin and should be in the blue bin we can track through the department of the environment and the director through ecology and track that through realtime and taking advantage of working with sf and

the environment but it was great you did great at this our director did phenomenal in awarding those wards to the green businesses it was great to there are it was about the workers impact of workers who otherwise have to end up with products that are not green and health hazards colleagues you any other questions before we look at public comment on director's report and i know it's been a long day, however. >> you're a taxpayer we work for you. >> ankle. >> so the floor is yours. >> i guess the president misspoke when we he was praising

san francisco for the forest alliance they've going a good job of trying to reserve the trees i'm not speak on behalf of the forest alliance but a private sense it is helpful to invite forest alliance to do a presentation for this commission i hope you'll do it like climate change is important preserving the trees is important reducing the use of toxic products is i've pointed out is very important and this same natural areas problem is using very harmful herbicides and their using more and more of them and using them all the time they using 3 times as much of those

as the rest of the rtd combined if you eliminate that you'll limit the use of most toxic and more toxic herbicides by 50 percent in the urban d i was i have not my glasses i mean, i have a different one i'll read about some of the herbicides from the time i have like also called stocker and by the way, i put here the chart it starts with this aid i know i was complaining about the herbicides around market street davidson when 0 we had a head of

the san francisco environment this chart is accurate done from the resource materials and only commissioner mar herbicides and rtd one the herbicides it is pier two more toxic they called the stock it is permits in souls for 17 months and it is doing damaged lands at the concentrations and t it is water soluble not binding the soil so it can travel through the soil in ground water and enters the surface bored and highly month boil and a braked of the toxics

since 2007 and been that way since 2001 and san francisco should be band here thank you very much. (clapping.) >> any other public comments seeing none, public comment is closed thank you very much director reaping he will and monique can we hear item 10 minutes. >> (inaudible) meeting the commissioner (inaudible) adapting other (inaudible) future performance. >> a motion to approve commissioners. >> i wasn't sure there was needed some context for this. >> what you have monique was nice to do this as we think about what the best use of

monique's time as well as the importance for transparent for people to understand what happens here monique gives us two different versions of minutes there's a condensed and a full version so she was hoping you'd take a look at those and if comfortable you might approve the use of condensed version we have not had a lot of discussion around that. >> director raphael part of the thinking thanks to sfgovtv sfgov we have archives of everything to get the play-by-play we could sf gov. tv.org. >> yes. commissioner wald.

>> because our meetings are now televised i am more sympathetic to the notion of having the condensed minutes then i was a couple of years ago when we last decided feel i want to make sure that doing the condensed minutes that less time consuming than doing the longer than ones when or in my own experience it's hard to make it short and concise than to make something longer with more words i mean, that's the reality of writing so but if monique says the shorter ones are faster or easier for her to produce and give we have you know this wonderful

television archive now i would support using the short form. >> shorter is (inaudible) shawn i think (inaudible). >> but does it save time for i when you produce it or do you have to spend the same time amount of time if not more to produce a shortly or longer. >> listening to the audit it takes time i think it is still a better way to go now. >> i prefer the condensed can we get a motion to approve the condenses wait. >> commissioner king that's fine i don't particle have a problem but would like a

memo about the criteria from which she's pulling because if 0 monique decides to retire next year we'll have being used to get those notes in a certain way so just you know from a criteria or a would you seen or deem to be important when viewing when listening to minutes i want that memorialized in a memo to us just foyer protocol later on down the line. >> that's it that makes sense. >> i think that's an excellent idea make a friendly amendment showing she will have to do that before she leafs as opposed to when we vote on it. >> i'm not asking her before

she leaves but tonight i'd like her to do that you know hopefully in the next month or so it's not a rush but just her thinking about taking minutes from a condensed in a condensed way. >> i was thinking that it would improve the topics of the discussion and any recommendations for a resolution comments, of course, and any action taken (inaudible). >> however, you see it i'd like it to be memorialized in a memo that explains the criteria when you listen to the minutes on tape for the days you're pulling out why. >> that makes investigated sense you want to have a

guidance document. >> another idea especially we'll see the minutes a month and a half after the meeting if you're able to copy and paste the link from sfgovtv so it's right there if someone wants to click on it because i believe our minutes are clickable so that, if i have the link you know video existing at whatever granting cuss.com slash the documents of the ero and someone can click. >> the link. >> oh, the link to the specific hearing ex-wife. >> the overall archive. >> i can even show you there's a pretty easy way to you pull the url w
