the stories of our diverse communities. speak today i am 134eu9 ing a request to have our controllers office provide a report for our board of supervisors regarding a 40 year history of baseline set asides of san francisco. as you know our budget has reached about 9 billion dollars. and 2 thirds of that is actually not discretionary and so i know that when we submit to voters ideas for funding proposals for baseline set asides and we take each item an subject on individual basis that they can be very attractive

to voters and they often do pass. but also they do tie our hands for future boards up to 30 years plus. impacting future generations of discretionary spending capability here in san francisco. my goal is for this report to really show us the history of the baseline an set as sides that we have here in san francisco for the last 4 decades and to show how the impact our cities spending capability i do want to thank supervisor pest kin for joining me on this every. i again i think that often we larry about proposals that are that we don agree with. we don't disagree with fundamental. we want to support senior services an park maintenance an children's an families. but again we do need to get a handle on how it is that we are check actively passing so many baselines set asides that really impact again 2350u9 tour generations in san francisco.

so that is a report that will kick off future efforts potential legislation potential proposal. an to lastly i want to submit an request to adjourn our meeting today in honor of a police officer who had passed away police officer stewart mull ver who worked at the airport bureau an passed away while on duty. he was someone who had responded to the {aeurb} ian a {stphraoeut} situation. while at the airport. helping passengers ie vac weight an guiding those who were able to make it out to safety. he had a very quirky personality that make everyone like him and he made friends with everyone while working with the airport with dispatchers field maintenance personnel anyone you name it. so we are very sad to hear about officer mull ver passing away so today i'd like to adjourn in

his memory. spec supervisor yee. thank you madam clerk. today i'm going to be be introducing a few items. so i hope you would be patient with me today. last year i passed legislation to start into a majorities of our cities department of vehicles. tell man particulars a proven technology with benefits including increasing safety leads to substantial cost saving has been used as a tools to correct train an coach to encourage driving habit and a shown to have environmental habits in reducing emission. sips passage we have nearly 4 thousand of our cities vehicles installed with this technology. although it is early on in the collection with the data there

is indication of trans mean seen an department identifying policy changes in order to increase safety. san francisco is a division 0 city an committed to work toward a goal to 0 traffic deaths by 20/204. we have a language way to go. in an tragically we have already had 2 deaths in 2017. we must do everything in our power to eliminate these absolutely preventable fatality. working with the support of city administrators advocates and with the union we were able to come to an agreement to {tpraeupb} our staff about tell mathematics with will allow for the most successful outcomes. typically san francisco leads the nation in setting precedent. in this case we are actually behind the curve. new york city police department has had similar technology for over a

decade. i don't low county {sphreufz} department has similar technology. i'm introducing the expansion of technology for the law enforcement an public safety department. this will allow us to work toward meeting our goals and also be a 2 available for the departments used to identify trends an target increase public safety strategies. i look toward to sharing specific on the positive impacts of the current technology. and to working over law enforcement an public safety department and expansion of the tell mathematics. with their agreed upon {tkpwroel} of increasing the safety of our streets an i 245u7bg i'd like to thank super rise or kim for co sponsoring this. the next item is i have to say then this next

item proves i'm a glut enforce punishment. but i am making another attempt to come together on solutions to address an issue that affects all our district which is prop recalling. it is civil hearing on neighborhood property crimes an conversation with public safety officers we pass legislation to support focus attention on this issue at the local police station level. the neighborhood property crimes required stronger coordination city wide across public safety department an emphasized the importance of community policing. it is also provided it also provided flexibility so that police captains an their staff can adapt to new crime trends an allocate the resource accordingly much the ordinance went through legislative process and was passed by the board last year

with 7 to 3 vote but it was quickly vetoed. so in addition to ballot initiative proposition r called for centralized crime unit an requires san francisco police department to allocate 3 percent of the police staff to this unit if we were to meet officers as dictated by the charter. well it didn't pass. so it left us with nothing at this point. so over the last month or so i've been thinking well should we bring it back to the table? and i've chosen to bring it back to the table and i'm hoping that there will be more thorough discussion. especially from the mayor's office. to add into what is necessary to get this done and i'm look forward to working with this new board.

and the mayor. and a newly appointed chief scott and communities leaders to address this chronic issue. the residents of san francisco have also spoken loud an clear. we don't need to go to ballot box to provide property crimes more focus attention. can we finally put the good politics aside an work on something proactively? i think so. i am open to having discussions on how we can make this a {hraepblg} late tive impactful. i want to thank the police department and the officers who attempted to do more with less. i'd like to thank supervisor for co sponsoring this what is this

? item. sorry. the third item that i'd like to introduce is that something that was featured in new york times the san francisco chronicle as well as the examiner last week. typically making hid lines with great but i have to admit this was a bit of a bitter sweet. the source feature were about the challenges for people who want to raise a family in the city. san francisco is notoriously known as a city of no children. only 18 percent of the household have children compared to the national average of 29 point 4. percent. only 13 point 4 percent of our entire population is under 18. by 24th it is estimated san francisco will grow about another 200 thousand even if maintain our low child percentage of 13 point 4

percent by 24th we would still need housing for additional 27 thousand children. while we are losing families we cannot accept this as a reality. we have to do something about it. my vision to reverse this trend and push the envelope about ways we can make san francisco a city for families of all income levels. in july 2015 i introduced a resolution requesting the resolution of a policy paper an design guidelines for family friendly housing that was unanimously supported by the board of supervisor at the time. we can aspire to building these type of housing. last week we held an informational hearing with the planning commission and it was filled with robust

discussion around this issue. even at transportation demand management plan ordinance that passed land use committee yesterday included family children element to it. i hope that this is the starting point for many future discussions on how best we can build an make the city 1 for children an families again. this is why i'm requesting us to meet as a committee of the whole to hear about the findings an recommendations from the draft paper developed by the planning department. i think all of you have share my passion for children an families. as a new grandfather this has renewed my {kpheurplt} to maintaining a vibrant city for generation toss come. i want to take this opportunity to acknowledge the planning director planning director john ram an

remarkable staff sheila and anne who created this draft on paper. and colleagues i hope you will support this motion and i look forward to working with you on this important issue. [bettina shuford:] my next item is i'm calling for a hearing for an update on a work and next steps for our children our family counsel. as you recall this counsel was created after the passage of prop 6's c. in 2014 to align efforts across the city and partnership with the departments the school district an community. with the goal to promote increases accessibility and enhanced effectiveness of programs an services for children youth an families. this counsel work is

critical an cannot come at a more important time because we are continued to lose one of the cities most important assets. which is families and children. and city's we must support of the work of the count an ensure our leadership department an school district an communities work is coordinated and aligned to increase efficiency address gaps an services an our focusing on issues that most impact family flight. our children families counsel outcome for was approved one year ago and this hearing is an opportunity to have the counsel present their strategies an plans to best meet unmet needs of our cities families an i want to thank supervisor kim an fewer for the co sponsorship of this hearing. the next item is really a sad

thing to me even to introduce but with heavy rain storm and impact on residents an their properties today i am requesting a hearing to explore what puc and the department of public works the short strategies to reduce the efforts of flooding during heavy storms. which severely impacts certain neighborhoods in the city. particularly dis {treublgt} 7, 8, 9, 11 and the great highway area. my district there are 2 priority neighborhoods which experienced heavy flooding an received assistance from puc which is 15th an with a won't a and ingleside terrace. in other district the this include the upper great highway area. and that is heavily affected in

district 4. the border of district eight and 11 on k-i uga avenue is affected. maze an 17th an [folsomfollow some] areas are heavily affected areas. and district 7 beside the chi oga avenue street there is the mission terrace neighborhoods that are also greatly affected. there are several long-term sewer improvement projects and resilience studies scheduled in this district an calling to consider long-term strategies. i know puc is working on their strategies and i'm looking forward to hearing from them. so. i want to thank supervisor [tangtanktanning], fewer, {saf} fee, and ronin for co sponsoring

this hearing today. [bettina shuford:] thank you supervisor yee. president breed. speaker: thank you colleagues. just a few items here today. i'll start by saying that supervisor percent kin isn't only person being featured in a film. i have my own film that is about graffiti an my graffiti legislation an an artist that is famous for being i guess public graffiti artist. his name is bang c. and the documentary is called saving bang c an that is playing at the roxie tomorrow night and this week end and there is a clip in there with me. maybe a small clip but it's a clip nevertheless. so anyway there is my hollywood debut. colleagues as you know, this is been a tough monday for

muni. and i'm finished with the movie thing. i'm onto the next item. it's been a tough month or muni an on news years day the next best predictions for the arrival time stopped working. apps an signs at the bus stop gave wildly inaccurate information about when the next bus or train may come. riders were greeted with the signs saying the bus would be there in 75 minutes or maybe not at all. this made it incredibly difficult for people to plan the trips. muni riders gave up or drive and call t and c and a lot of folks who didn't have that option. unless people waiting unfairly {-pb} unnecessarily in the cold in the rain and it shook confidence in the public transit system in which 7 hundred thousand riders rely on daily. i want muni riders to know the board of supervise

others hears your concerns an we will work with the s-f mpa to make sure the problems are addressed. supervisor [fairlyferrel] has been working with mta on issues as well an i'd like to thank for his advocacy. here's is what we know so far. the vehicles prediction called next muni is transmitted by a t a p t's wireless cell phone network. since muni was the first transit agency to adopt such a system the infrastructure installed in 2002 relies on 2 g wireless network. 2 g yes. it is very outdated an at&t is deactivating it nationwide. muni learn of the plan deactivation in 2012 and has been {worb} to go up grade muni shelters an vehicles but they were not prepared for did not expect the 2 g deactivation to start when it did and that left a 150 trains and more than 500

busses without the necessary equipment that allows next bus screens to predict their arrival. muni has been working to upgrade these vehicles each night as busses an trains finished service their modems are being replaced an row programmed to connect to higher grade 3g network. as of today muni has more than 9 percent coverage across the city an expect to have a hundred percent coverage by the end of this week. i'm glad muni is mostly through the woods and this acute crisis but there are 2 unavoidable troops here. this should have never happened in the first place. even on a good day the next bus system is below par often misjudging when the vehicles will arrive or displaying ghost but that is don't ever actually show up. muni needs to do better. they have to do better. and i will work with mta leadership is am could

go today to evaluate their next step. i want to see if forensic analysis of what when wrong this month as well as a plan that not only for how mta is responding to this failure but how we are going to improve vehicles production moving forward. i look forward to seeing their answers an i will continue advocating for hundreds of family of san franciscans who depend on muni to be reliable an predictable. we [ohowe] them better than what has happened this month and especially with the expectations of our new incredible looking clean trains that will probably hit the streets this summer. we need to be prepared for that as well. so. that is one thing and the last 2 items i have today colleagues are 2 in {phepl} more iums. one is for someone i've nine for so

long miss nancy watson. i want to adjourn the meeting in her honor. she passed away on january 14th of this year. she was from louisiana but moved to san francisco in the 1950 worked as a health care providers until she retired. her and my grandmother were really close. i grew up going to her house a lot when i was a kid. she raised her granddaughter who i was close to and is like family to me and it has been an amazing life as a kid to have grandmother's like miss nancy watson who always had food for you or always had a kind word. always had a lecture. always just had a warm home filled with love. and she will be dearly missed by her amazing family. i also

would like to do an in {phepl} morium in memory of who passed away on december 2016. her son moved to st. francis square in my district in 1989 and they became heavily involved in the community. for many years she was a {tkhaeur} of the building an grounds committee at st. francis square which he was nope as fiesty an dedicated advocate an community member. upon retiring from the commission contributed her good spirit an photography skills to document key movement within st. francis square an photos for circling the square. eye rent as a fierce advocate of solar electricity which led to the conservation committee installing solar pam's in 2012. she will be greatly missed by her

friends her family. and she was an amazing spirit. i had an opportunity to attend her 90 th birthday party. and that lady had some serious moves. an she was fun. she had an incredible smile. she was a leo just like me. maybe that's why we got a long so well. she was one of the sweetest ladies i've known. she succeeded in death by her daughter wendy. may she rest in peace and i forgot to mention a in regards to miss nancy watson she is survived by her son he will like a watson an with that madam clerk the rest i submit. speaker: seeing no other names on the roster i believe that concludes the introduction of new business. let's go to public comment. the up to 2 minutes on items within the subject 3459 er jurisdiction of the board to

them up the wheels. this is outrageous. now this blur really has a responsibility to talk to ed ly and steve an put a stop to this nonsense. this affect the whole city. it's not only district 4. it's happened in my district where they eliminated 2 college meant an 26 valencia to st. luke's hospital. clearly mta is out of control. an mta stands for monster transit agency. as well as other things. it stands for more train wrecks ahead. i also want to call attention tooth demolition of san francisco landmark. leftie [ohowe] dual a restaurant that's a drawing point for people in and out of the city runs the risk of being -- and don't be suprised with the growing viral development of developers this city hall may become a

san francisco to join the stepping up initiative. to reduce the number of people with mental illness in our county jails. it touches all of us. and san francisco in san francisco approximately 10 percent of the department of public health 25 thousand behavioral health system client had a contact in the jail this past fiscal years. 20 percent of those clients report having some history of criminal justice contact which is somewhere between 7 an 14 percent of the jail population which was 13 thousand 50044 in 2 thou 5. has serious mental illness. this includes schizophrenia bipolar disorder an manic depression. now we are known for our john ross tea of social service and has let mental illnesses with a one-way ticket to our city.

this is not a sustainable condition. we can't afford to be a safety net for the entire country. especially if the care is not as effective as it could be. we cannot focus on identifying funding to build nor jails. the goal to give what you main treatment for the conditions. so we cannot send people up and away and will away the condition. we need compassion. i want to recognize the supervisors for the sponsorship on this resolution. thank you.

elmy bermejo. >>i motion. >>i second. >>anthony, can you please take the roll. >>[roll call vote]. >>the motion passes >>yeah a. anthony, can you call the next item? >>yes that next item is item 12 this would be the policy committee report which are highlights on the november 14, 2016 and january 9, 2017 commission meetings this is a discussion item. >>anthony, can you tell us about this report. >> the city's have been

cooperative and that the city has been conservative to use insecticide and pesticide use on the city's properties. on january 9 the committee received an update on the november 14 risk testified last and the staff reported there was an 81% in overall reduction of the most hazardous herbicide use on city's department and the staff had additional training this year in city agencies and revise these over the past year. the committee also received the first draft of annual report and offered its feedback. >>any questions to my fellow commissioners?seeing none from

my fellow commissioners i will open this up to public comment and the first public comment card is eric brooks. >>good evening one more time commissioners. san francisco green party yet and not i am here with the local grassroots society. as we have just heard the city has made a great improvementon the pesticide an insecticide use and that is great but we have heard from san francisco and the department on the environment committees and the commission and looks like getting to that last 20% is going to be difficult unless we get clear what we really need to do. and, i think that

the key thing that i want to focus on because i do not have a lot of time is that we need to shift from the perspective that we currently have which is when is a pesticide or an herbicide necessary to accomplish a specific job? when the expense would otherwise be high or when it is a difficult job, we instead need to really shift the whole frame in which we look at pesticides in san francisco to a standard of harm. and what i mean by that is that whenever you are deciding to use a pesticide were herbicide, you need to look at the problem that you are trying to eliminate and look at the potential health and safety hazards of the pesticide itself and decide which one of these is worse for public health and safety and if the pesticide is worse than it should not be used and that is where if this

was being used in the program were besides being used they would not be used. because, if you decide you want to get rid of it and a lot of us aren't concerned about that, but if you decide you want to get rid of xls, the harm caused by the pesticide is certainly worse than the harm caused to the public safety by the goat grass. so, so we have this standard of harm and the specific standard and we need to understand that. >>(the timer dings] >>the next thing that i want to discuss is the progression. the progression is progressing but there are some key areas that still need work. one area

is the area of children that has been struck and i were focusing on the specific things that can clearly be identified like playgrounds. that is not good because there are all kinds of places that kids go that are not playgrounds. >>[timer dings] >>and, for using pesticides and then we need to make sure that children are never in that area. again, that woody quickly reduce that last 20% of pesticides because children are everywhere. anyway, that is just some food for thought as we approach march. thank you. >>thank you. next i would like to call >>thank you. i am sick i will try not to touch anything. >>can you speak into

themicrophone please? >>yes, thank you. i have some notes. i am appealing to you as a beacon to the people in this world this time your world is very pointed and san francisco can stand up together against corporate power and their profits. and i mean the abuse of power that represents. i asked that you do the research yourselves and check and see at what these poisons really do want all of wildlife and, i want to ask you to also look at who is directing the okay of these products. who is saying that these are safe? and, where they from? are they

biased or unbiased? poisoning wildlife cannot be considered an unintended consequence anymore. if you want to protect our future you must stop the use of these systemic poisons. whether these are herbicides, fungicides or insecticides. systemic poisons do not go away. i urge you to look into this you cannot trust the agencies are saying these are safe. thank you. >>thank you very much. >>our next individual is dee selegman. >>good evening i am d seligman,

i am with the san francisco environmental alliance. i would like to talk about the fact that back in 1997 when the commission got started the environmental commission and agreed that there would be no osmetic genic herbicides and pesticides which we now called tier 1 and they had stipulations against what we now call tier 2.they prohibited both but i asked the question where is it that we got into the way of our goal of getting rid of these herbicides and pesticides. and, that troubled me. and the answer is that our system will never be sufficient

for those people because the city has spoken about biodiversity. the way the law is speaking now it is a nonzero law. the staff person thought that the system was working well because people like me sit through the meetings and make public comments. and so, here is my response to the staff personfor one that responses said, here are a few documents and i can put my hands on the pagre his but objective 4.20 is talking about diversity. this is the sustainability plan of 1998 in san francisco and this is native habitat restoration put out for recreation and park four 2000 put out by the program. there is nothing and i repeat there is nothing in

these documents that condones the use of these insecticides. it was never condoned in the original plan itself nor in any of these other documents. there is no evidence that this is a non-zero along. the use of herbicides is a question of will and not of law. the other thing that i want to say is [timer dings] in the last month in 2016the applications were put out for all of these insecticides and i would suggest that by the number of pounds of these which is a misleading at application

because it's not the metric number jews but the number of applications. thank you. >>thank you. >>[timer dings] >>is there any other public comment? >>helloanastasia lit statin. and there are are many things i would like to discuss it with this document and i will not have time to discuss all those. but first of all, i am not going pesticides. i am going to talk aboutherbicides because i am not qualified to talk about pesticides. but, the definition of a pesticide is that there is more harm done with use then was done before

the use of the pesticide. that is not the case with herbicides. also, i would like to talk about [inaudible] and 50% were used on food with a minimal amount of [inaudible]. very recently there was a test of all of the produce that we eat and everything but two elements-- to of the fruits were [inaudible] that were designed to be sprayed with herbicides and are things that

we are still eating. and these are organic. so these are still everywhere. agent orange is everywhere there using these everywhere. i heard of for about a guy in vietnam who said they still use agent orange. it took 40 years for [inaudible] to be declared a carcinogen and before that it was safe as tablesalt. now if we did that who is to say that there are not other things that are in line. it has to be done. >>[timer dings] >>there is no reason to use these in that nature.they did not use 80% they only use 30% and that is part of the department's record. it says we need to eat 6 pounds of grass

that needs to be in west this [inaudible] kinda goat is this? >>and what action needs to be taken? thank you. >>thank you. is there any further public comment? >>hi. tom borden with the environmental alliance. one thing that i would like to say and this is a recurring thing that happens when things like this are spoke on in a meeting one person spoke one a pesticide and then another person said i do not use pesticides or insecticides in my own yard. and yet, in ours

parks, people say that we need to use pesticides and i heard a farmer say the same thing buthe says that he farms organically but in our parks and our backyards, in my backyard, it's okay to use pesticides. the other thing that this woman said is that she has done a lot of work with the national errors program and she worked with some plant and a new species of plant and they get rid of it and as soon as they get rid of it, they turn around and it's back again. and the comment that anesthesia set about having to use pesticides and herbicides to save native plants and it's actually documented there and to me, that's the very definition of unsustainability. the idea

that forever and ever we will use herbicides and pesticides in our public spaces to try to kill unwanted plants. it just, you know it just doesn't make any sense. and you know, it's not going to you know, do anything for us. and yet, it goes on. and, i hope you think about it. i'm sorry, i hope i dids too long. where

>>thank you. is there any other public comment? >>there is a statistic that i felt the people spoke positively about that there is an 81% reduction from the actions that were taken in the last year and what i have learned is, you know, we have to see how that's going to hold up because it's been a wet year and we have to sustain that but that is remarkable in my mind that we reduce these tier 1 oversight by 81%. and so at this point, i am an advocate, and i've been an advocate and this side that i'm one is a climate change activist and a labor activist, at this juncture with a couple of policy meetings left and then a vote to at the public utilities meeting and i want to

ask if there are things you want to see change, what specifically are those. i will just speak for myself which is all that we all can do but the blanketlike we shouldn't use these at all, my sense is that with the remarkable progress that has been made, and i can't speak for anyone else, but my sense is that if i could have a crystal ball it probably will not be what will happen. there will probably be a herbicide policy that what is introduced in november 2016. and specifically the do no harm idea. i think there is a great idea that we can run things in our society that do no harm but if you look very specifically at the process and i have, thhere are a lot of things that have been done to

try to change things substantially and do no harm. in fact, only spray in restricted areas and have a qualified tier 1 technician; and if you do not agree i am just encouraging the public to be very focused and specific and dig in. because, there is still time to improve the current policy but my sense is the more extremely specific people are in expressing their concerns about the existing policy that is being presented, the more likely there would be resolution of some specific concern. and so, i think as someone who has spent a lot of time as a commissioner looking into this and learning a lot and seeing the goodwill on part of the staff and the department, the process in the

interim with a lot of specifically is where it is in the juncture of this policymaking process. as opposed to-- i don't want to set a blanket but as more specific of an argument in the framework this been presented. >>thank you. any other commissioners? hearing non-, we will move to the next item anthony. >>the next item is item 13; the operations committee report. this is the highlights of the january 18, 2017 committee meeting. this item is for discussion. >>we met earlier with the deputy director jennifer cast and we discussed the report

program by program and went through all the changes last year and did a very deep dive and came back feeling very happy about the financial status of the apartment as i mentioned earlier. obviously, we have some concerns about nonlabor hours not funded by grant programs, unfunded mandates, all of the things that continue to concern us like general fund dollars not being accessible to us especially in the next two-year cycle where we have to cut by 6%. so obviously, there is always work to be done and we believe that more is more with regard to helping the environment and we should be proud that. >>thank you for your report. is there any public comment? >>just very quickly, on this--

eric brooks again with the grassroots committee and with every bit of the meeting it would be good that those audio of those meetings could be broadcast on the website as well so that the public can haveaccess to those meetings as well. and so, if you could look into that as well please. >>is there any further public comment? hearing none, public comment is now close. fellow commissioners, any last questions or comments on this item? seeing none,public comment is closed. anthony can read the next item. >>the next item is item 14 and

that is announcements,this is a discussion item. >> is there any commentson this? seeing none public comment is closed. anthony, can you read the next item? >>the next item is item 15 the commission affairs manager written report the speaker is anthony valdes the commission affairs manager and this is a discussion item >>thank you very much. is there any discussion on that item? seeing no public comment the comment is closed the low commissioners, do you have any questions or comments on this item? seeing none anthony rita's next item. >>item 16 is new

business/future agenda items this is a discussion and possible action item. >>good afternoon commissioners. i just want to mention that the march schedule meeting for march 28 have previously been reported [timer dings] the report for the pesticides will be before you and in addition, the staff will have before you the work on solar plus storage and the work that we have done in all of the 11 districts in the city of san francisco and keeping a longer theme, last

year, we were not able to do the zero, 50, 100 roots, and we were really trying to focus on this and do a deep dive of the zero, 50, 100 roots and specifically have the san francisco public utilities commission join us and do a deep dive around the cca and all the work they have been doing and all of the energy programs the kind of complement one another and the individual pieces we will do a deep dive on these items. this is just a heads up for a couple of the future topics that we are working on. >>thank you very much. i just have a couple questions for you and i know that in march is the pesticide meeting and i know what that if you dive deeply where these pesticide applications are occurring if we could have a map of that because we are interested see how the southeast community's

are affected by these applications and where these are occurring with that. in addition, i would like an update or preview i think it would be interesting to celebrate more of the wonderful work we are doing. also, i got an email and a public comment about the urban for street council and i'm wondering if we could hear something about that if not at the next meeting but at a future meeting, i would like to hear more about that. and also, i will be an answer some questions about what the public has been asking me in reference to that. also, with the rate repayer info. if we could have some information on the rdf which is

the rate ratepayer advocate if we could have some information that one they are as well and as we could also have this to have access to auditory committee meetings that would be wonderful i think that the more access we can give to the public and the more we can distribute those meetings, the better. and, i think that's all i had on my list. i will pass it to commissioner stephensonnow. >>i just want to for this out there even though it's already been thrown out by a our director but this as our 20th anniversary at of the commission we look at the state of affairs in our country today and the state of affairs in our planet right now and i would just like to say that i had a great, great awesome experience in washington dc last week; and

i just want to say that we are in this bubble and if somehow if we could as a commission come up with what is our moonshot right now? what is our environmental moonshot? i know there would be so much going into sort of framing what that would be but what can we as a commission really get behind. we do a lot of what i think is a lot of really important work here and we support a lot of really important endeavors. is there something that we can really throw our weight behind and

really do the heavy listing for. i would love to hear staff talk on that and i would like to hear everybody who is sitting up here is thought on that. not right now but it some point in time. >>[laughing] >>what we can do locally is that we can all put our hearts and minds into that right now.i feel so powerful sitting herein san francisco and i think that we should harness that power. >>thank you. commissioner hoyas. thank you. and regarding the work that you're doing if we could really take a deep dive with that because we been working hard and whether it we are working with, you know, idaho or what is it duboise, and i have heard the statistics about the large, large, amount

of plasticrecycled. and i will just make this really quick but i went to whole foods and i saw a bag and it said this bag used to be a bottle. and i think to myself okay will when will it not be a bag or a bottle. but when i hear the terminology zero waste, that is a problem for me. because we know this is a problem and we know that problem is in the global south and with the low income communities here we have some be in west to do so, complex deep diving into that in this next year and i would be happy to do so. >>and so, are there any public comments? hhello again one last time eric brooks with the san francisco green party and the grassrootssociety in san francisco. once again the moonshot should be the buildout of renewable efficiencies

through clean power sf. we did a live of things over the last year and we recognize the commission but we have to recognize that the sfpuc is not an environmental agency and i just want you to recognize that san francisco has an amazing plan for efficiency and it has some flaws in it for renewable energy and efficiency. it does have some biomass but they have amazing efficiency. and san francisco even though we have this incredible plan is mainly focused on this efficiency and that is the problem of us just

going through sfpuc's vision and we need to get the city to and envision this entire plan of renewables and its efficiency. we need to have diverse resources like solar wind and efficiency and battery power to work together to give us 24 hour online electricity and that type of thing i think is not going to come about unless we haveleadership with this agency and this committee. you need to help us as cleanpowersf goes forward with that. the other thing that i want to get in before the march decision on pesticides is that we have a specific hearing item that staff really digs into this issue that i said before of not to do no harm but to compare the harm of cancer and things like that with the harm

of not doing anything. for example, you don't do anything to control mosquitoes because that could cause more harm than the pesticide sometimes. and so, we need the department to hopefully shift towards that policy [timer dings] let's examine the harms not if we don't use the pesticides but if we do use the pesticides and if we are not sure how bad the pesticides are, let's use a guiding principle. we need staff to specifically look at that question so that we can get past this and come forward with some specific uses [timer dings] and get to the bottom of this. >>thank you. is there any more

public comment? hearing non-, public comment is closed. commissioner hoyas, did you have a comment? >>yes, just a quick point. just a quick point. would just like to say that there are just those opportunities through march and i'm aware of and i would stop there. >>thank you. anthony, can we move to the next item? >>the next item is item 17; adjournment and the time is 7:28. >>thank you very much. >>[gavel]
