boards commissions or officials. it doesn't define what supplant is. i'm not sure what that means. i can see us getting into a dispute over the word supplant. i'm all forward to having second eyes. it would be good for someone working for the department. i don't know if i'm signing away responsibilities and duties under the charter belong to this commission. i am also -- anyway, those are some of my concerns. as i said, i didn't participate in the full discussion. i don't really understand the full discussion as how it fits no the commission. i know we were excluded and i appreciate your trying to put us in here. it's kind of excuse my french but it's back ass to fit us into terms created by other people and we had no input. those are my concerns. >> i agree with your concerns. it wasn't the way i would have structured it but that's the way it was presented to us. let me address the issues that you raised. in terms of implementation, you raised the question about implementation. the reason that language is in there i

public utilities commission. the program ce about with state wide legislation in 2002 to enable people to take more control over supplies. i first heard of the program when the organization was advocating to launch clean power sf. what most excited about, it's going to bring 100% renewable energy to my home and reinvest into renewable energy infrastructure and jobs. i had gone to a lot of street fairs and heard from the staff at the san francisco public utilities commission to sign up for clean power sf even before it launched. >> we learned about clean power sf because our sustainability team is always looking for clean operations. linkedin is the largest online network. there are about 530 million members using our site. in this san francisco office there's about 1400 employees working in roughly 400,000 square feet. >> after signing up for the program we heard about the san francisco program and learned they had commercial rates and signed up for that. i'm the co-owner of the new wheel electric bike shop. we o

i applaud that commission. why do you want to leave that commission to go to the police commission? >> i feel like i can add more to the police commission. it's broader in scope. and we are also looking at sanctuary policies, and overall criminal justice. that is why i want to. >> all right. speaking of sanctuary policies, a former member of the board of supervisors has taken an interest in this position when it comes to sanctuary city. can you talk about your opinion on what she is saying? assuming that you, i mean -- >> i've been following it. i have not spoken to her personally. i know she earlier on had crafted policies when she was a member of the board of supervisors. i believe in sanctuary policy because we are less safe when people don't feel like they can come out and report when they are victims of crime. i don't believe that the policy was to harbour people who have felonies and in particular, violent felonies. >> you would believe with angela's position? >> if it is narrowly tailored, yes. >> thanyou why. i have no other questions. >> supervisor stefani? >> supervisor st

you're going before the police commission. what would you hope the commissioners would -- and you're represented by your attorney. you're -- you're an officer, you're coming before for a disciplinary action or discussion -- i'm sorry, action. what kind of leadership traits would you be able to demonstrate -- excuse me. if you were -- if you were an officer and in this position, what would you be looking for? what would you be looking to hear come from the commission? types of questions, lines of questioning, thoughtfulness? >> i'm sorry. to understa so if i'm the police officer and if i'm in front of the commission for disciplina disciplinary position, what do i want to say? >> supervisor cohen: yes. >> i want to see why i'm before them. i was them to give me a platform to explain to them, these are the actions that i took. these are the things that i did, these are the rules that i was bound by and sort of figure out -- and be open to that. and also as an officer, i'd have to explain to the person who was questioning me why d

the commission policy has been adopted. the commission also recommended regular reporting from staff. that's not a matter before you as part of the ordinance, but so you know that was another of the recommendations from the commission staff will be complying with. and section 315 again going back to the 100% affordable housing, commission recommended that for those projects, for the administrative approval, that projects should be required to provide a prevailing wage, a san francisco prevailing wage for those projects to be approved administratively. similarly, the commsion reco ended that those ects should -- that the planning code should specify those promises be consistent with the san francisco building code to be approved administratively. finally, the commission recommended that those promises, the 100% affordable projects approved administratively by staff should also be in conformity with all applicable standards for affordable housing development as according to the mayor's office of housing. i'm here to answer an

there are over 80 documents on the police commission, commission did a lot of work to come to the decision that it did. and i can't judge that because i haven't been through the work. i've started, but there's a lot. >> supervisor safai: thank you. i want to go back to a couple of your answers because i think you gave surface-level answers on a couple and dive in more so people understand and i understand. you said you work with community groups, you are on the streets on a daily basis, you have aot l of contact with groups and referenced rudy, and i think i know who you are talking about. what are the groups you worked with on a daily basis and people that you would get guidance from and getting information from the guidance from the commission and those that you have worked with on the rules something. and one of the other questions, you've been active, even when you did not make the cut last time. you stayed active with this commission. so talk about that a little bit. and the work that you have done to attend meetings and stay current with the direction of this commission. >> so people

>> line 1c commission reports, commission president's report, commissioner's report. >> thank you very much. we had a busy week. it started with last week myself and commissioner attended the graduation sunday night. graduated 36 brand new officers and suffice to say, it was an incredibly diverse group. it was great to see their families. it was great to see the new members of the sfpd. you just look at the whole dynamic. you look at the award. going from markmanship awardeds to awards crises intervention training. deescalation techniques. force options training. just strength of chasing and running physical fitness. there's combination of ability to do physical fitness and react appropriately. the awards have changed to certain extent to represent the changes that this department has been going through. that was good to see that. thank you both commissioners for joining me at the graduation. if you make noise you have to step outside. you got one warning. next, we had in addition to that, the academy graduation. i attended yesterday as representative from the police commission and med

and then the planning commission. querinwe are asking to table ths matter and revisit it in next. businesses are failing already left and right especially in manufacturing sector and that is where we want to preserve those jobs that everybody wants to pre serve. thank you. >> bran down brown, treasure of the cannabis retail alliance and equity partner this cvxx. i would have to agree with johnny's comments that we would like this to be tableled until next year. next year. over this year a lot to learn from the cannabis industry and have to re-teach and rehave all those conferring conversations d and she is receptive and we are moving forward finally. the billion dollar industry you speak up doesn't exist yet and we are already being heavily taxed. equity and the tech industry doesn't have a social equity program, we created one before we had our industry. i think we are good at governing ourselves as far as including society as a whole and pushing equity programs and we have to sign a labor agreement which is ten or m

i'm paulo ikezoe, citywide commission. before you today, we have a piece of legislation we had embarked upon creating more family-sized units, with a very high requirement of 40% of the bedrooms need to be either 2 or more bedrooms. and so those are all great components of the legislation as well as additional support and notification for small businesses. that might be impacted through home sf projects. we ensured that there would not be any displacement of people that are living in units to be taken over by home sf projects. but now we're at a time where after legislation has passed, we do see there are more project sponsors utilizing the state density bonus law. so we did a lot of talking to project sponsors, trying to talk to the planning staff, to figure out what it was to figure out what we need to do to adjust our home-sf program to make it more attractive. that was really important. people said, we would like affordable housing, but we want neighborhood input. we also want more local control over it or local review

i think my experience there would be an asset to this commission.typically when developing policies, i leverage large data sets, and i'm familiar with us to make this vision. but that being said, there is this anecdotal part of it that typically isn't reflected in the data, and to the points heard previously, often times, the data maybe skewed, largely because people may not be reporting certain things, if we are looking at it in the case of the context of the police commission. leveraging large data systems is important and making policy decisions, but not the only factor. as a member of the commission, i would really like to work to strengthen ties between the community and police, and i believe that the san francisco police department, and the citizens of san francisco can work together to set the standard for effective policing and strong community relations throughout the nation. i think that -- obviously right now we are in a trying time betweenommunities thos who police them, and, you know, when i was young i did not have such a negative perc

nobody on the commission is suggesting that we're going to negotiate the substance of water this commission already did mons and months ago with the poa. what we're finding out is are te any issues that affect the poa t they are legally entitled to negotiate. like impact of our policy. for example, they have a right under california law to negotiae what kind of discipline will be issued in the event an officer s found to violate the policy that this commission already passed. we'll have an obligation to sit down with the poa and negotiate that. 1-2-3 the city will. we don't do do. the poa is not coming in here. we're meeting with them. we will not authorize anybody to something that we're not legally obligated to do. prop h was defeated we know tha. we are not resuscitating prop h. >> vice president mazzucco: next speaker. >> good evening, commissioners, chief scott. i'm a police accountability consultant. i'm here out of concern for basically what commissioner hirh just talked about. it's good to hear that you're planning to meet and confer on issues that you're not requiredo meet and conf

i believe a proposal from iso new england that the commission approved in, is an example out of commission can constructively address this tension. finally, our work on electric markets also bears on her work on resilience. the commission's taken a number of actions over these to address grid resilience in a markets. the current focus is on whether the current retirement of an economic coal and nuclear generated the soldiers threaten grid resilience. to date i believe we successfully manage the transition and the resource mix without compromising reliability and resilience and i'm confident we can continue to manage it going forward. indeed i believe the resource turnover we are experiencing is an expected consequence of markets and technological change, and lower prices that result from well functioning markets are a benefit to consumers, not a problem to be solved unless reliability is compromised. the commission is fully considering the record developed and are pending resilience docket which help will help us determine whether any further commission action is needed to adapt market rul

it was the subject of a planning commission hearing. i do want to state, because i'm mildly annoyed by it, that were it not for an unsolicited e-mail communication from a city official who was actually defying what the planning commission, the oversight body appointed four members by the mayor and three members by the president of the board of supervisors, acted upon last thursday, had that e-mail not gone out on friday, they would not be here. but i am certain that their lobbyists and consultants knew this legislation is pending. so this is a mildly manufactured thing and i had to get that off my chest because the individual who did that knows i'm less than pleased about it. >> supervisor safai: so back to my question, through the chair, it was about the feasibility. and i appreciate that, supervisor, i'm not trying to mine myself that. what i want to -- minimize that. can we put into the legislation that we have a process for the review? >> supervisor peskin: we do. you can see mr. sanchez is nodding his head. we have that, we are the

that's -- we interface with this commission. they can propose things to us, and then, we have the ability to either amend it, agree with them, and then if we amend it in any way it has to go back to them again. so that's my only point. i might agree with all this 100%. is there a time -- is there something in particular in terms of timing that wouldn't allow us to have at least -- just continue this until the next meeting so we could have some more conversation? >> no. i don't think there's any pressing matter before us that requires this legislation be passed today? >> supervisor safai: did you want to just say one thing in terms of the impact on public financing? >> yes. so legislation itself does not include any of that. so it's more like a large -- longer term conversation we were having with ethics which is also very interested in looking at public financing just to sort of say it briefly and it's not in relation to this legislation, but new york, you know, there's different models, there's 6:1 and 4:1 ratios, and there's d

at this time, the public may address the commission on matters in the jurisdiction of the commission, except agenda items. each member of the public may address the commission for up to 3 minutes. i have no speaker cards. >> is there any member of the public that would like to make general public comment? >> my name is arnold kohn. hello. i want to give you another reason why project 2016-0100719ca, 3620-36-40 and 1595 north point should not be permitted to demolish the park area and garden shop building in the southern portion of the law. recall, i previously provided you copies of historic city official documents about resolution 88 and block 459. the project developer hired page and turnbull consultants to prepare a report showing that no historical significance was identified for the property the project developer then gave a copy of that document to the planning department the page and turnbull document completely ignores the 1974 resolution 88 passed by the landmark preservation advisory board, which explicitally defined the entire area of block 459, lot 3 as the historic landma

when this commission was founded, i was very involved in creating this commission. took 14, 15 years to get it passed on the ballot. this is the type of issue that this commission was created to address. there doesn't seem to be a need for this. there seems to be neighborhood servicing that are fulfilling the need to the community. and that's what the commission is trying to say. we don't need healthy spot to come in and disrupt or put out of business the businesses. so i ask you to oppose this conditional use. >> great. thank you. >> i'm the owner of cotton basics in noe valley and i'm very much opposed to chains coming into our neighborhood. i think they totally take away the unique character that we have and the neighborhood that even customers tell me that they really enjoy coming to an area where they can deal with a shop in a unique business and interact with oers and i think it's very important to keep chains out of our area and san francisco ighborods. thank you. >> great. thank you. >> hi. i'm mitchell burge, small business owner in san francisco. i'm here

they don't go to the commission. those complaints become inspection services, so we will look into what is going on in the department, how we can help them to eliminate or avoid issues where it looks like there's a conflict of interest where we move the supervision or something like that. we're working with d.h.r. in trying to resolve those. but yes, depending on what comes out, there's an increase. >> supervisor fewer: and then has there been an elimination of classifications in an office and are you adding classifications? >> limiting a number. we are adding. we are also consolidating, most recently, we have determined, for instance, in the department of public health, there's two classifications which are used interchangeably, and they are now combining them into one classification, so that's still an ongoing process as we look at that. >> so your entry level service positions, you haven't eliminated any of the entry level positions. >> any what positions? >> supervisor fewer: entry level. >> not that i'm aware of

, health commission. >> tesie, health commission. >> preservation commission. >> maya human rights commission. >> you can clap that's okay. >> jason pelagrimi, human rights commission. >> joel arreano, juvenile probation commission. >> taley moses, juvenile probation. >> alison johnson, planning commission. >> fey, treasure island development authority. >> treasure island development authority. >> paul gisty, treasure island development authority. >> mia harris, commission on the status of women. >> cheryl brinkman, sf board of directors. >> transportation agency. >> mayor wardell, the library commission. >> zoe dunning, library commission. >> cheryl jones. >> and dj brooker, the southeast community facility commission as welch >> hold your applause because we have to finish this off to make it official. just repeat after me. do so lemly swear that i support and defend the constitutionf the united states of america and the constitution of the state of california. against all enemies, foreign and domestic, that i will bear true faith and allegiance to the constitution of the united states and

i'm happy to be here with the full commission. during my tenure on the commission, much of our work has been driven by the ongoing transformation of the nation's powers of. we are experiencing a significant increase in natural gas, renewable, storage, and demand-side resources, driven by changes in technology, economics, and policy. these transformative developments are not being driven by ferc but are shaping much of our work on markets and reliability. today, i will discuss regulations of our market, and i expand on that as well as a bit on our transmission work. the organized wholesale electricity market that currently serves more than two thds of america was launched roughly 20 years ago to support greater competition in the electric sector. while they continue to require vigilance as resources change, i believe markets have successfully achieved their objectives. they have protected it reliability, and promoted efficiency and innovation while shifting investment risk from customers to investors. they have realized these benef

commission matters, item 8. consideration of adopt draft minutes for may 10, 2018. >> is there any public comment on these? seeing none we will move to close. >>> move to approve. >> second. >> thank you commissioners on that motion to adopt the minutes from may 10, 2018. [roll call] so moved, that pass unanimous 6-0. that moves us to item 9. >> commissioner koppel, we received a letter from the carpenter's regional coun cil, i am confused what was actually said in the letter but from our joint hearing i bought up issues about factory built housing and the fact it is built outside of san francisco and built to a less stringent code than san francisco and i questioned how we are able to approve these types of developments and if they are actually legally allowed to be installed here, so i am really confused what the letter was saying and how a certain party is trying to tell us we should be putting sub standard residential housing in san francisco, but just wanted to clarify that as of right now, i can't support

this commission, i guess i will refrain from making any comment about this commission, but this commission has been working on some issues for a very long time, and in some ways, it's been tripping over itself, in my opinion. so, these are very specific to san francisco. this is not to minimize any of the work that you have done, as the supervisors have said, the work that you have done in san francisco in terms of working on police reform can be very informative, and in this position, you know, it could be very helpful to have fresh eyes, but how are you going to approach that specifically if you are selected to this commission? >> sure. as you stated, i think it's important to approach these issues with a lot of fresh eyes, and i have experience doing a lot of this type of work. i know what the challenges way for the city of oakland. and how we overcame those challenges, and what some of the successes were and i would like to see, you know, us, here in san francisco, do what worked. for example,, partnering with stanford, i think would be a good thing to do, particularly to address bias.

first, we have the human rights commission. then we went to the commission of art. then we went to the commission of preservation. and then the supervisor, london breed, who represented the solution for removal and therefore board member swig's assertion that there's not enough people wanting the remove is [indiscernible]. so i'm here to tell you we did this for 25 years. we have an art commission preservation and the people who did the interviews not only are we native american but we are the voter and resident of san francisco. so i ask you to reconsider. thank you. >> clerk: thank you. next speaker, please. >> i wrote some things down so i don't break into tears. this is more than a matter of policies and procedures to me and my people as i think you're hopefully seeing at this point. my name is elsatina and cherokee and navajo and white and i stand with solidarity with the ohlone with the land they stand and those who represent native americans or californians. this image is not only denigrating to all native people but existing in a world where we're severely l

i was encouraged to apply to the police commission by former president of the san francisco police commission, julius turman. he emphasized to me that it was not only important to implement the remaining d.o.j. r recommendation but we also evaluate their effectiveness. as a commissioner i would like to enact the policies, requiring annual reports regarding the d.o.j. recommendations so we know the process that we have seen -- progress that we have seen with some of these recommendations and also i would like to see the reports published so that we know where challenges lie as to why certain recommendations are not getting implemented. secondly, i would like to do a better job collecting data and analyzing data and partnering with local academic partners. such as stanford, for example, to address issues like bias. san francisco is the technology capital of the country if not the world and i would like to see us work more effectively with the tech companies to collect data and make it more accessible to the public. in addition i would like to see that we are under general order on a regular bas

only one item to share with you from the full commission hearing is the commission provided review and comment on the amendment to the administrative code for a process establishing cultural districts. as you know, this ordinance was passed by the board of supervisors a couple weeks ago. however, the commission was not part of the review of the item before the full vote so the h.p.c. requested the department bring the ordinance to them for review and comme. planning department does have recommended amendments to make the program more inclusive and to reflect current practice between the planning department, the mayor's office, housing and work force development and mayor's office housing and community development. and overall, we're very supportive of those amendments. supervisor ronen's office was in attendance, along with members of the public and mohcd and moewd. and we'll continue to work with supervisor ronen's office to see if they're ameanable to the proposed amendments. that concludes my presentation and my comments unless you have questions. thank you. >> president hillis: all

sponsor is not there to present and so just want to remind the commission that, yes, the commission does not have to hear from the project sponsor. we're not -- you're not adjudicating and weighing in on that particular project in the manner in which the commission is. the small businesses that were concerned about the impact of a formula retail entity, it was their responsibility to -- they were scheduled to present to you. it was their responsibility to present to you a compelling argument for you to take action on any set of recommendation. and they decided that they would not take action to support. i just want to make sure that -- there's been quite a bit of discussion after the scenes after the planning commission vote, which voted not to grant the conditional use for that project site. that, yes, the commission's action was completely appropriate. so you were there to hear from the small businesses. they -- you chose that they made a compelling case and took your action. and i made it very clear to the planning commission when i presented the commission's response that it's r

the postal system task force leaves the commission as the party with him to consult commission chairman is very pleased to serve in this capacity and the commission is ready to assess. in the invitation for today's speakers from the lexington institute a variety of topics were suggested considering the regulatory commission has a docket related directly to issues considered by the task force chosen to speak on what are relatively safe issues. the universal service obligation and post monopolies. president trumps task force to definition of universal service obligation in light of changes of technology, e-commerce and customer needs. the task force is also examining the role of the u.s. economy in communities and small town and in december 2008 the regulatory commission issued the report on the postal monopoly and the commission issued by the 2006 postal six postal act. the commission was assisted in the development by the george mason school of public policy and among other things the report laid out a series of policy options including to ensure universal postal service options to defi

and this t hai brought up at the planning commission. that low-income folks, as well as many, many seniors do not have access to internet and that is why i asked again to be sure that it not just be online. but be accessible to everyone. and to continue the mailing until there is another time when more people would be included in getting notifications online. i'm really happy this this includes notices to tenants in all languages. that is so important because, again, it's about participating in democracy. with affordable housing, with 100% affordable housing, i'm still not 100% of how that is defined. i would like to see clear language in terms of what a.m.i. levels is this only going to be at a higher level, is it going to be inclusive, truly inclusive, from low-income on up. that would be important to me and certainly to the people that i serve and to our community. again, the community involvement in having time to also participate in discussions, not just developers and architects, etc. that would be really nice. thank ou. >> thank y

next a senior official from the energy regulatory commission testify on security and the commission's ability to regulate and enforce rules. this start energy and natural resources committee oversight hearing is two hours and 45 minutes. >> good morning everyone. the committee will come to order as we meet to conduct oversight of the federal emergency regulatory commission, ferc. i welcome eh of you this morning. i noted it is exceptionally good to see five. for a while, for too long the ferc was down in numbers. theommissioner knew that full well. thank you for joining us this morning. in the late 1970s this committee was reconstituted with a renewed focus on energy. shortly thereafter congress established the department of energy and transformed the federal power commission into ferc. our committee was invested with jurisdiction over national energy policy. this complimented our historic role as the stewards of the law that governed our nation's land. there was a wide area view of the energy and resources landscape and a balanced approach to energy law and regulation. >> i think tha

it was after a commission meeting. there was a very serious car accident at park presidio and crossover drive, where there was three victims that needed to be extricated. there was one that went on for nearly two hours. and easily, the driver of the vehicle could have died. we personally witnessed the great care that every member extended. but we acknowledged the rescue captain because she ran the medical portion and really was at the patient's side the entire time. and as i said today, it was so serious that because we were having a difficult time extricating him, there was a consideration we do a field amputation with the surgical team coming from s.f. general. he has made a full recovery. both his legs are functions. it was appropriate that she be acknowledged today. and then we look forward to on friday capping off ems week with having a lunch. all of you are invited out at station 49 for all the members at station 49. anybody from the department really can come. we do have food coming later for the crews coming on

serving on the commission. real estate, we've got mike martin, rebecca benecini who's been a wonderful addition to the staff. mike, you felt like you were part of the staff for so many years, even when you were over in city hall. finance, i remember when commissioner woo ho had one of these "aaudacious goals of reaching $100 million in revenue. that was under the guidance of our executive director elaine forbes. megan wallace who's just been stellar. tom carter, i don't know if you're here, but with maintenance, we don't always recognize what goes into ensuring all the upkeep is so solid here, and tom carter has done such an amazing job of overseeing all of that. and then we have manny pacheco who's not here today, but he makes this port really run. we say it, and he just makes it happen. always had a smile on his face, too, every time we saw him. then, we have the executive staff, and actually, i think i go back further with byron rhett than anybody here. the very first governmental role i had was serving with

he served on many commissions, and he was on this commission. he was an incredible human, and so i move to end this meeting in his honor, and i hope to send this to his family back in michigan, and do i have a second? >> second. >> commissioner mazzucco: all in favor? >> commissioner hirsch: and i thank you for doing that. >> commissioner mazzucco: we're adjourned. >> supervisor d:

commission chairman robert taub is very pleased to serve in this capacity and the commission stands ready to assist. in the invitation today's speakers received from the lexington institute a variety of topics were suggested. considering that the postal regulatory commission has a couple active dockets directly related to issues being considered by the task force i have chosen to speak what i consider to be relatively safe issues. the universal service obligation and most tall monopolies. as part of its work, president trump's task force is looking at the definition of the universal service obligation. in light of changes in technology, e-commerce, market practices and customer needs. the task force is also examining the role of the u.s. postal service and the u.s. economy and in rural areas, communities and small towns. in december of 2008, the postal regulatory commission issued the report on universal postal service and postal monopoly to the president and congress. the commission issuance of this report was required by the 2006 postal act. the commission was assisted knits development

comments or questions from the commission? just one. we had the same thing on the previous one for the bayview hunters point. it's about 55 or 56 clients for case manager. is that considered a standard amount, is it a very high amount, i'm just curious. seems like a lot of people. >> that's a great question. so, with the case management rfp this time around, we used historical data to find out a reliable number for pull time case manager could be annually, and the number was 55 and we used that as a formula for the budgeting process for each case manager, 55 unduplicated clients. historically agencies have gone above that. you know, it really depends on where the agency is located, number of case managers, the needs of the clients in the area or throughout the city. we believe 55 was a competent amount that each agency could reach for full-time case manager. >> president serina: thank you for that. comments or questions? comments or questions from the public? hearing none, all in favor? opposed? thank you, the motion carries. item n. re
