i think that's been one of the things s.f. p.u.c. has been trying to address in the revision of the scope and so far that's not really been successful. but in terms of -- don't think we have extra money, but, you know, i haven't really addressed that since s.f. p.u.c. it's their intention to enter into, they provide a scope of work to the consultant. i think it's just a matter, hopefully, between theff of negotiating that further. if not, i will be back to you with additional requests. s&p mr. campbell? supervisor campos: mr. campbell? >> yes, with the s.f. p.u.c., miss miller is quite right, there's a $500,000 not to exceed contract the p.u.c. has with power, with $390,000 remaining on it. as miss miller notes, every dollar that we can husband will be available for outreach and marketing and potential appropriations that might be needed. so there is a very strong interest in keeping consultant costs down to what actually lines up with what we need. on that point, one of the bits of direction we also heard an item similar to this, an

as far as from the standpoint of the p.u.c. of being in the weeds identifying artists, we do not have the expertise, so we will lead partner in -- so we will be pondering with them. president vietor: thank you. that is helpful. any comments on this item? >> is this saying we have approval? >> who has approval? >> the p.u.c. >> in the past or moving forward? >> the past is already over. >> pretty much. this is saying the p.u.c. has approval over how we spend our arts enrichment dollars. if we wanted to, we could say we want to support francisco to do an art project right now. we have the discretion to do that. the idea is that we want to continue to collaborate with the arts commission. we will provide more oversight. the relationship in the past has not been a lot of engagement with them to do the work and what type of work to support. we have the ability to be able to do that. >> i still do not have the right answer. my question is, can we approve whatever art they have selected? >> yes. >> i want to add one other thing. i do n

presentation now and afterwards receive more public comment. >> commissioners, the general manager of the p.u.c. we wanted to come tonight because of this historic relationship we have been talking about. i think that all of us would say that the p.u.c. has not been as involved in a positive way as we would like to have been involved in this facility. there have been years when it seems to have had very little input from the p. krufplt. and -- p.u.c. and one reason we are here is we want to change that and use the funds available to us and change how this can work for the people of san francisco, particularly people in bayview. we are here to give you some ideas. we have heard some people and bring that back to you and hear your ideas. but it is a reengagement in some ways where there were years where we were not here and we do believe it is our responsibility to be here to be part of the community and be part of this facility and to really make it a place that everyone wants to come and has a variety of services that revitalizes what is going on here. that is why we are here. also, again, we a

some of you are new, never been in this community but it's a pleasure to have you here and the community is looking forward and working with our p.u.c. not having a comment to talk about any of the subjects that you're going to be discussing now, but at the joint meeting i will. i think i have some information, i don't know whether you have it or not, dealing with historical facts. when this all started here for the southeast building and the power plant there. i don't know if you have that information. if you have it already, raise your hand. all right then. i'll make sure that the staff get that information to the rest of you because it's very important from what happened back in 1989. i hope it startsed in the 80's, the information you have. i don't want something that started back in 2004. thank you very much and i'm looking to make sure that we have a pleasant meeting here this evening and i'm quite sure you're going to enjoy the food as did you before. thank you. president vietor: thank you. other public comments? >> my name is charlie walker. some of you may know me. i'm having a problem here in san francisco as being the pre

comments tonight have talked about the fact that smaller contractors have been locked out of being able to bid on p.u.c. work and wanting ability for us to put resources to build the capacity of smaller contractors to be able to bid on p.u.c. work. increase in arts and cultural activities by young people has been brought up. support for community gardening as it relates to greenhouses and surrounding space and safety ca came up for almost everyone ranged from what people thought solutions were. but it was an issue that was raised. next slide is around the community. the general manager harrington described it right on point as, i think, from a p.u.c. standpoint the intent and desire is there to really partner with the community and partner with the southeast community, southeast community facility commission, on ensuring that the building lives up to the potential that was described in the mitigation and other documents, landing documents. -- planning documents. as we have gotten feedback we have thought through different criteria as it relates to this facility and things that would help us become more

of these issues. so that we could get through our agenda and get to that piece. but as such, if there are public comments at this time, hopefully on the p.u.c. agenda, there will be lots of opportunity later on to continue the discussions that we started. any other public comment? hearing none, public comment is closed. next item, please. >> the next item is communications, letters, events calendar, all correspondence has been given to the commission. any questions? commissioner moran: the list of pending questions is kind of long, beyond a page now. if we can try to work those out . did staff get that or do i need to repeat that? >> we got that. president vietor: other questions or comments on the letter summary from the events calendar? hearing next, next item, please. >> other commission business. president vietor: any other commission business? next item, please. >> report of the general manager. >> good evening, commissioners. i want to make this brief so we can hear from the community tonight. i want to thank the southeast community facilities commission for coming out and having your folks welcome us to this facility. appreciate it v

of the document. it's not a separate line item. it wasn't separately numbered. >> but what i'm saying is it didn't wow me. it didn't wow me at all. we have gone through p.u.c. we've gone through recurrent energy. we've gone through the solar city contracts. we have gone through -- i cannot tell you how many dozens and dozens of hours of debate through the budget committee and board of supervisors and being with the understanding that this would yield green jobs. and i still don't think the city has come to scratching the surface of yielding jobs for disadvantaged communities. it's frankly underwhemming. so in this case what i read beyond the eight key points of this percent speck us to, same thing. i don't see it, i don't feel it. so i want to make sure that if we invest in this, that we're getting something that we absolutely need and they absolutely can deliver on so that it is a quality prict. not just to satisfy but poll dicks or the advocacy because i feel the same need. and if it's local hiring, i mean, then, it's double, i think the standard since this is not a local company. it's not fran-based. so i would expect -- san francisco-based. so i would

this year we're also going to have a group of employees from the p.u.c. that will help us with the parade and also some volunteers from john owe collin high school and we thank them all. it is my honor and my pleasure to introduce to you somebody that i respect and think that we couldn't have a better mayor in this city. i have not been in touch with him for quite a while but in the last month it's been a couple of events that we've run into. i would like to introduce the san francisco -- [speaking spanish] , ed lee. >> thank you very much. welcome to city hall. i've been laughing for the last 15, 20 minutes because we're joking with the supervisors and of course supervisor campos had to ask me, what are you wearing for carnaval? and of course i said, well, i'll begin with the orange tie. is there anything else i have to wear? with that fantastic performance just now, with trash mashup, i was thinking, supervisor, you know, i've been thinking, i've got to have a replacement for that one-hour question-answer period at the board. i think i've got a better i

i'm not saying it is taken care of the way we want but the extent is because the p.u.c. subsidy which wouldn't be available if we didn't own the building. >> i think that is very helpful on my part to have clarity and

to approve a resolution directing the general manager to enter into a memorandum of understanding consistent with the p.u.c.'s goals, policies, and priorities. >> juliette ellis. here we go.

to approve a resolution directing the general manager to enter into a memorandum of understanding consistent with the p.u.c.'s goals, policies, and priorities. >> juliette ellis. here we go. i will start. i'm very excited to be able to -- president vietor: 29 introducing yourself -- a introducing yourself? >> juliette ellis. i'm excited to be updating the commission on the work we have been doing

p.u.c. says as of tonight 85% of the water that reaches its customers will be u.v. treated and in san francisco that number jumps to nearly 100%. >> pair sites. >> reporter: but in san francisco there is always dissent. >> do your research and find out exactly what you are drinking. >> reporter: in san francisco, robert lyles, cbs5. >> elsewhere in the world, england's prime minister cut short a trip to africa to fight for his political reputation much the prime minister is mixed up in the news of the world hacking investigation. he is taking some heat for hiring his former communications chief andy collison. collison was the editor at rupert murdoch's "news of the world" when journalists hacked into the voice mails of murder victims and politicians. >> with 20/20 hindsight and all that has followed i would not have offered him the job and i suspect he wouldn't have taken it. >> it is no about hindsight, mr. speaker, it is about all the information and warnings that the prime minister ignored. >> cameron met with news corp. executives more than two dozen times since

we were able to double up again with the help of the sheriff's office and the p.u.c. getting kids, 94124 kids jobs through the garden project, god bless katherine sneed. the woman's a saint. and more and more and more engagement across the city to try and give the kids positive choices so that they're busy. these particular crimes that have been occurring are straight up adults doing gang violence and we will attack it accordingly. >> great. thank you. commissioner kingsley? >> commissioner kingsley: chief, thanks you very much for your report and appreciate you giving us a head's up on things that are coming about in the future in the community. also good news on the budget front that you got that support from the department as a whole and congratulations on that leadership, it's terrific. i'm wondering if that will support the possibility of police academy training in the fall. you'd given some guarded, optimistic reporting that may be a possibility. does this make it more of a probability? >> yes, apparently conversations that have happened at this panel over time,
