high as any of these spots? >> i think that i would have to defer to mohammad on that as well, but i want to point out that as we move forward to this grant, if the application is granted, and we have determined that our efforts are effective, it would be within these original 25 sites, we may, through approval from cal recycled, switch to a different site if it is proven that we need to concentrate activities in other areas. supervisor avalos: so then, it is likely there are other places in san francisco that have an equal amount of dumping that occurred is then any of these sites? >> i would want to defer to mohammed -- supervisor avalos: i actually would support [inaudible] about whether the plan is to look at specifically this neighborhood, it sounds like it is to pilot similar programs throughout the city. >> right, and some of the activities that would be going on would be assessing the illegal dumping materials that are out there, so understanding what is being illegally dump in the first place, and that

but you cannot put in any bus shelters. you cannot put any seats down there near where the bus stops are. and you cannot put any bathrooms and therefore the public. you have plumbing there already because greyhound has bathrooms. there are restrooms for the drivers. so why don't you take some of this federal money you are getting and fix that area so it can be accessible? it is a long walk from market street. it is a couple of blocks. somebody just told me -- the population is starting to get older. san francisco. with all this money you are spending, you can spend some money for bathrooms, for seats. you already have security guards because they seem to like to arrest me. i almost thought about suing you folks for the way that they treated me. thank you. >> joyce roy. >> good morning. you may all remember a few years ago, bart had an extensive strike. a lot of people discover the transbay buses. once the strike was settled, a lot of them kept on writing. now we have the possibility of the reverse. if people are not comfort

i was not aware of any of this. but i have to say that i have absolutely full confidence in jamie slaughter that when something is presenteded for his consideration that he will be interested in getting all of the information, hearing from everybody who has something to say on the issue and absolutely capable of making an objective and fair call on the issue. chairman campos: you're not the only one who doesn't read "the examiner." >> i'm not sure if that's a good thing or a bad thing, but i'm admitting it right here. and the last thing i just want to say is that i know jamie cares very deeply for this city, which also is an important quality for any of the commissions. and very close to my heart, he not only cares about the community as a whole, but i know that he cares very deeply about the members of our community who are less likely to have i avoice in -- a voice in public entities. for that reason, i think he would be an excellent member of the commission. thank you sox for the opportunity. chairman campos: tha

any questions?>> i have a question on the beneficial releases and how it if you the t would be great. the beneficial releases have been incorporated into the eir? marine fisheries service, the california department of fish and game on a scheduled to benefit the resident and migratory fish downstream of the lower crystal springs dam. improvements to the agencies felt were necessary. there has been an extensive amount of study in a short time to come up with what we believe was a=> reasonable and could st of releases. on the environmental side, i am pleased with that result. on the water supply side, there will be a reduction in supply as a result of those releases for customers. i am concerned about the water supply impact. we're looking at that. there is analysis referenced in the document. we need to look into those in the future. that is what we're talking about, coming back to the commission to talk about that. one thing we're clear on is we are not going to not meet our service goals. that is a

work that they do and you would not get any -- any more deliverables. if we do this on a month-to-month basis it takes a significant amount of staff work to draft the documents, get it through, you know, the contract administration, get signatures on it. there is -- yeah. there's a burden, administrative burden. i just wanted to make that clear. chairman murphy: i understand. supervisor mar: i like to propose my original notion extend it to december. commissioner lee: my concern was if we do extend it all the way to december, what happens if we're not finished in december? it's going to get extended again. even prior to december, just finish it as quickly as possible. that's my only thought of not extending it to december. try to get this done earlier. chairman murphy: any comment from the vendor on this? >> laurence with the department of building inspection. i believe december 31 is a reasonable date. we've done, as you heard through previous -- we believe we can complete it. we believe we have enough scheduled meetings and so on. i hope we don't need

conditions. >> any questions from the commission? does anyone want to make a motion to -- is any public comment? >> when the executive director of a alliance for a better district and we have to send in a letter of support for this daniel and we believe that having a positive space in our neighborhood and especially when the owner has had this at a previous menu that has been operating in a positive manner, i believe that this will do the same. i was lucky to support this position on the permit. >> thank you. >> good evening, commissioner. i represent the north market business association. the north of market business association promotes economic development north of market and we fully support an application of the permit. think you. >> thank-you. >> i am the former owner of -- and i'm here to support the gentleman that asking for the permit. i think it is very positive that people are willing to open something -- i feel that music heels the soul. i think that this is a benefit to the community. i think that this will be a wonderfu

do you have any questions of us? we don't often get planning students here that are interested in hearing, listening and sitting all through this. >> i guess i was personally curious, i'm new to planning actually from a different field and so i wasn't sure how you all are structured and how, if you're appointed or elected or the process. president miguel: commissioners of various commissions are done differently in the city and various planning commissions throughout the state and country are done differently. in san francisco, the mayor appoints four of the commissioners and they have to be confirmed by a majority of the board of supervisors. the president of the board of supervisors supervisors appoints the other three. these are done on a rotating four-year absolute term and some of us in our first year of serving, some are in second -- a term, rather, and some in the third term of serving. we have, the code does not specify for planning commissioners in san francisco any particular prequalifications, either acade

any public comment?>the motion carries. >> the next item is regular business to suspend a rule no. 6 to allow for election of officers at a duly noticed meeting other than the first regular meeting after the first day of august. the procedure in this case would be that you could entertain the motion to suspend the rules, should that motion and vote prevail, and the commissioner could move to nominate a colleague with the president and vice president, the election procedure would follow that. commissioner vietor: is there a motion to suspend a rule number six? >> i would like to make that motion, but we have to set [inaudible] >> you could move the election to today if you wish. correct. commissioner vietor: is there an amended motion to establish the date of the last meeting in october as the election day? all in favor? all opposed? that being said, is there an nomination of a new slate of officers? >> i would like to nominate a vice president vietor as president of sentences go public utilities. also no

being as they didn't have any. each one of these particular venues we've warned in the past have received notices of violation. this is not a thunder bolt from the sky out of nowhere, hey, i don't know what you're talking about. each one of these venues has been warned repeatedly in the past. so in that way the process that the e.c. staff, that we have created in working throughout first there being some warning before we cite has been in place and it's working. we will continue on that path. on the incident list you'll see for the minor list, i won't recap every incident but hustler club, murphy's bar, elephant and castle bar, i have no idea how to pronounce that. anyway. it only came to us because it actually was the bubble lounge next door that called in the incident and was able to get a police response. so it was nonentertainment related but it was a club that was being a good neighbor to its area and was able to stop a crime from proceeding and bring in police to address the issue. the particler, show girls,

i am happy to respond to any questions that he might have. >> is there any public comment on this item? the if not, public, that is closed. -- if not public ancomment is closed. >> what constitutes a sequential permitting? >> how do you define sequential permitting? >> the-issue is that you can do with -the negative issue is that you can do with many permits what you cannot do with one. >> that will not apply here? >> that have gone through the processes to change the conditions. commissioner antonini: a seem to remember this. i was reading the report when we've grand did thethis i-- we granted this in january, 2009. this supposed to be two years. is this an extension of the cu? >> this is immoderation. it is coupled with the continuing hours of operation. they have not have any issues with how they have been operating. >> we were all going to about the extension. >> could require an informational presentation to the commission. >> i hope that everything has been all right. i find it hard to believe that the demand is that graham said none o'clock on sunday nights, but i guess somebody

i do not have any speaker cards for this category. president miguel: any general public comment on this item? if not, public comment is closed. clerk: thank you commissioners. you are now at consideration of findings and final action. the public hearing for this category is closed. item 7 is case 2006.0536e, the lower crystal springs dam improvement project, certification of the final environmental impact report. president miguel: project sponsor. clerk: it's the staff, so the sponsor would come up if you have any questions. >> good afternoon, president miguel and members of the commission, erika lovejoy with the planning department. the item before you today is certification of the final environmental impact report for the proposed lower crystal springs dam improvement project. a copy of the draft certification motion is before you. the draft e.i.r. is published march 2nd 2010, there are three public comments, the first was in hillsboro, april 6th, the second was in san francisco before historic preservation commission, and the third

it is about making it possible for any of these boats to be utilized at any time. supervisor campos: thank you. supervisor mirkarimi? supervisor mirkarimi: thank you. i just wanted to come and join the conversation quickly to express my support and appreciation for david chiu and others who have brought this forward. coincidentally, while commissioner chiu was abroad in europe, i was in latin america, where gasoline was about the equivalent of $0.40 a gallon. the fact that it was so accessible, that it was so cheap, you could see the stark contrast of the environmental degradation that had really engulfed nations, regions in the area because of a lack of prioritization and the easy convenience to this particular resource. i think it is exciting that we are at this juncture. that means we can take the next step with of vision that could hopefully materialize into sound policy, with a companion piece that has been supported by the right budget, that enables this kind of observation that many have made to purchase separated in the trip abroad -- have made, who partici

do you have any idea? >> i'm not sure. i'm not sure. commissioner dejesus: why don't we talk off line. >> we'll take that off calendar for next week. so i doubt that -- i would ask that that be taken off calendar. do we need to do a motion? thank you. i appreciate that. president marshall: anything else? all right. public comment on item number 8. none. item number 9. >> item number 9 is public comment on all matters pertaining to closed session which is item 11 below, including public comment on whether to go into closed session. president marshall: comment on item number 9? none. item number 10. >> item 10 is a vote on whether to moled hold a closed session. president marshall: without objection, so ordered. we will move into closed session, and we will stay in this room, and we'll take the items in order unless the commissioners say otherwise. we'll take a break for five minutes. >> ladies and gentlemen, the commission is going into closed session. we ask that the room be cleared. >> commission is returning to open session at 9:36 p.

it was not qualified by any true sense of the public, it's pure. that we have the power to initiate. so i think that it was very appropriate that it shows up that way in our -- in this proposed article 10. however, what we have done, which you probably didn't notice but i would like to point out, initiation is on what page? there it is. we say -- tara kind of skipped over this, but we say for nominations submitted to landmark -- let's see -- and/or cultural to support initiation as well as additional information which may be required by the application procedures and policies established by the h.p.c. this commission does plan on setting up some procedures and policies in due time, sooner rather than later hopefully, about our attitude about what kind of consent of the public is required, what kind of meetings we should have with the public. i personally will not vote for any historic district that a majority of the public comes here and says they don't want it. i just think that's inappropriate. i want to do historic districts that have strong com
