eric brooks with san francisco green party, local grassroots organization. our city and san francisco clean energy advocates. first of all, i want to thank supervisor avalos for putting this forward because, you know, with what's going on in the mayor's office and what's now going on at the state level, we are starting to see that our options for cleanpowersf may be greatly curtailed unless we come up with some really creative solutions. with that said, we also want to make sure that we will retain what we worked for in the last 10 years in san francisco to make sure that san francisco's cca, cleanpowersf is based solidly on local jobs and local installations, hundreds of megawants of installations and thousands of jobs created over the next 10 years. we need to make sure we don't lose that because, you know, marin has been spectacular. so has sonoma. the things they accomplish against opposition from pg&e are incredible. however, we want to set an example in san francisco for a much more robust local build out of resource s from the beginning. california and

primary you don't say was tree crossroad with the local i see what it's like to have opportunity to live and make a decent living in a city like san francisco that's tough. we fall in any local a sort of a strange inch we're not part of san francisco building trades but our inch is a service industry in the trade shows some of the corporate events closings down t down the oracle shows there's been confusion about it for us whether or not whose jurisdiction is that. it's been in question we took what we saw from our colleagues with local 16 and the teamster's and took that as a prime model to follow suit and avoid conflicts in the future we're working with getting along with each other for the benefit of the city and industry. i really appreciate the opportunity be to be able to put forth this language. i'd like to call forward a couple of members from our union that by the end from the work we do >> why don't they come up urging during public comment we appreciate the remarks. >> thank you. mr. chairman at this point we can open up for public comment >> is there anyone who wishes to speak on the item? >> good afternoon, everyone i'm afforda

funded grant program by 2017 we have changes so we're going to start a pilot in san francisco in july of 2014 >> now our local goals san francisco has struggled with the long-term homelessness so our pilot for the continuum of care program to reduce the length of homelessness in san francisco we're housing the vulnerable first and getting folks what folks call the right dosage support housing and folks with more moderate needs have the low cost intervention so your using resources wisely. it's important to say about the coordinated assessment that will not create for beds but we'll continue to have a majority of folks who won't have a bed immediately available we'll not interview every he homeless people in san francisco they feel there be ready to be housed that's not true. we have a high-level of client choice and improve the data on how long is takes folks to get into housing and others information. let's talk about the veterans initiative the va and the housing council open homelessness and hud have called together 25 cities with the largest concentrations of homelessness. they've asked those cities who h

year to even get heard. >> yes. >> which is scary and to me, it's like you are torturing local businesses. san francisco soup company in my opinion should be able to open up on every corner. i mean they are local. same thing with super dooper and that conglomerate and even the gap, if the gap has a subsidiary, they employee thousands and they have a new concept to be able to put it out there. that would help local business -- in a lost cases where something like that, like upper fillmore, brooks brother opening up that other place. that street is crowded and people are going into all of those other businesses up-and-down fillmore street and creates a synergy. that is my two cents to subsidiaris. >> let me caution you about treating local businesses differently, we can't. we ran it by the city attorney and violates commerce laws. we have to treat all businesses the same. >> miss burns, the ownership threshold or locations met and businesses automatically considered,is there not a secondly test of two or more criteria before it's considered formula retail? so the company could test out new concepts as alo

san francisco. one of these artists recently gained tenure at san francisco state university. without affordable artist studio spaces is, local artists are forced to leave san francisco for other cities and we think that makes our city culturally poorer. we would just like to see some kind of conversation about offsetting our studio spaces in the proposed design, because affordable means different things for different types of people. so what is affordable for an artist is not necessarily the same as what is affordable for others. we also want to have some kind of stake in the planning process for when our building is demolished to have ample time to find other space in the interim. thanks >> thank you. next speaker. >> good afternoon commissioners my name is rob pool and i'm the project manager for the san francisco housing action coalition and i'm here to speak in support of the proposed project. agi capital projected to our committee last summer and we endorse it without reservations. 13% of these homes are below market rate, which comes out to 34 for affordable homes and it's well-served by transit as it's within walking
