would allow us the proprait direction on how we move forward but i do think it is important to take this first step in the right direction towards developing, you know, just a basic plan of action and then if there are things that we believe should be added or should be expanded upon at a later date we should do that. i do agree with member s of the public who feel that we should look at things that already exist and add those appropriately so towards -- if they are useful, if the data is useful, using that data to somehow help us get to a comprehensive plan but i don't think this road map is going to be sufficient for what we are proposing to do and so i definitely think there will be additional steps in the future, especially, and i appreciate the article that commissioner crews has provided us with because

ultimately, yes, we want our neighborhoods beautiful, yes, we want to underground utilities, but we don't want to limit access to those neighborhoods who need access to what we plan to underground. and i want to make sure that that divide does not take place as a result of our efforts. so, with that, are there any other comments or is there commissioner mar. >> yeah, i just wanted to add i'd like the studies that eric brooks and bruce wolf referenced, if you could make sure that we have access to them. and i'm supportive of moving forward with the scope as you have outlined as a first step and i really appreciate commissioners lindo and crews participation in this. >> thank you. so is there a motion to move this item forward with positive recommendation? okay, by miss crews. commissioner crews. >> madam chair, there's no

action on this item. >> it says for clarity of discussion and possible action so i want to, i think that it's appropriate for us to take action to agree to allow mr. fried to work on developing this and implementing the existing timeline proposed. so that's the motion on the floor. okay, that motion is moved by commissioner crews without objection. the motion passes and we move forward with the development of the plan. thank you. okay, madam -- do i need a second without objection? >> no, you needed a second for that motion. >> okay, thank you. i didn't realize that, sorry. >> second. >> okay, seconded by commissioner mar without objection the item moves forward with a positive recommendation. better? thank you. all right, so let's go to the next item.

>> item no. 5, executive officer's report. >> jason fried, lafco staff, i know many of you want at some point to go see a giant's game so i'll make this quick. next month we are approving a potential schedule for the 2015 calendar. we have the traditional dates we've met on for the past few years and i'm looking at having that same calendar be moved again. if for some reason anyone wishes to try to change this, let me know within the next week or two so i can check around with everybody else and see if there's a better time that can work. otherwise i will present a similar calendar to this year's calendar for the 2015 calendar for meeting and that's all i have to report at this time. >> okay, commissioners, any comment? okay, i'm going to open this up for public comment, are there any member s of the public who would like to make public comment? seeing none, public comment is closed. okay, can you please call the next item?

>> item 6, public comment. >> okay, now is the time for general public comment. are there any member s of the public who have general public comment at this time, please step forward. >> good afternoon, one more time, commissioners, eric brooks, just wanted to touch on two things. i think you have another item i could say this at, too, which is future agenda items. once the internex report does come forward in december or january, i think it's really crucial, kind of dovetailing with what mr. holtzman said earlier that one of the important things i saw in the internex report is that it recommends, it says now we should do a plan for how to build out reknewables and efficiency in the city. i don't think that we can wait for the

sf puc even if they become more helpful to do that plan. so i would hope that right away that the lafco would have lafco staff have executive officer fried put out a very soon so that right after the internex report is done we are then next year getting the plan ready for the local build out and for clean power sf so that when we finally get the sf puc on board we are ready to move forward with the program immediately. we want to see this program go forward next year or 2016 at the latest. so that's one aspect, that's what we want on that is to make sure that lafco is continuing to take the lead. we don't want to give the lead back to the sf puc even if they start saying good things. one little note on what will be the future report from staff on undergrounding is that we're

not talking about planning out a broad band network, we're talking about when executive officer fried does this study work that it's taking into account these other things so how he lays out how we should do undergrounding takes into account chattanooga and the ammiano study, et cetera. >> thank you. any other members like to make public comment at this time? seeing none, public comment is closed. madam clerk, can you please call the next item? >> item no. 7, future agenda items. >> okay, any commissioners with any suggestions of any future agenda items? seeing none, we will open it up for public comment. are there any member s of the public who would like to make public comment at this time? seeing none, public comment is closed. madam clerk, please call the

next item. >> item no. 8, adjournment. >> my favorite part. we are adjourned. go, giants. (meeting adjourned).okay.

call the retailers bill of rights it is an important legislation that will help tens of thousands of low wage workers in our city i want to say that two we've built a broad coalition that's behind us a number of them will be speaking from small business owners to workers that are low wage workers themselves it impacts their families as well in san francisco today we've been experiencing an extreme worker atmosphere for the families this is zoo to the influx of hiring professional workers particularly in the tech sector but due to the instead growth of workers in low what this jobs

thousand of workers do live from paycheck to paycheck but a lack of job equality on, on call workers our communities have been grappling with those challenges including the spike in the housing and the displacement of low income families many of my family has worked for the gap and small businesses and macy's for example and have suffered abuse with no scheduling at all i've been working with a coalition of small business owners with the community and president chiu to have the bill of rights so i'm happy to be working hand in hand with president chiu and i'm on

the co-chair it is a set of policies that have fair scheduling for tens of thousands of workers in retail and restaurants and corporate owned businesses i want to say that the santa fe san francisco particular time has identified one thousand 2 hundred and 50 businesses if in our city covered by the decision so besides wal-mart and target it covers gap and h and m over 21 for example, and radio shack and 7-eleven and trader joe's as well as chain restaurants from starbuck's to the olive garden our coalition is lead by the jobs of justice and unit service worker west and sf loma north
