cushions and relatively good accommodation. the blacks would ride in the car just behind the locomotive which was constantly filled with smoke with broken seat, broken windows and never cleaned. this was the equal accommodations. in plessey versus ferguson was another 8-1 ruling. justice harlan was the only dissenter. the court ruled through henry billings brown who was appointed a few years before, separate but equal is just fine. there is no requirement in the constitution that races the forced to share accommodations as long as the accommodations are available to each one or equal. the accommodations were not equal the personal they overlooked. harlan not only use his opinion to produce one of the nation's great enunciations of individual liberty and racial equality but also destroyed the camouflage laid out by louisiana and accepted by the majority with a law mandating separation of the races wasn't discriminatory. he wrote everyone knows the statute in question had its origin and the purpose not so much to exclude white pe

there is no requirement in the constitution that races before tiexiera accommodations as long as accommodations available to each one are available, that the accommodations were clearly not equal they overlooked. in the civil-rights cases, not only used his opinion to produce one of the nation's great enunciations of individual liberty and racial equality but also destroyed the camouflage laid on by the we see an and accepted by the majority that a law mandated separation of the races wasn't discriminatory. he wrote everyone knows the statute in question had its origin not so much to exclude white persons from railroad cars occupied by blacks as exclude colored people from coaches assigned to white persons. in one of the famous -- one of the most famous lines ever to come at of the supreme court harland said in view of the constitution and the eye of the law there is in this country no superior dominant ruling class of citizens. there's no cast here. our constitution is color blind. it is important to know -- important to remember that the justices and the civil-rights cases based their rulings

our path was to accommodate the growth increment. unsustainably as possible. the road beneath that, that is the regional housing target. in terms of the overall housing distribution, this is a very focused-growth scenario 70% would be a priority areas as opportunity levels. it is a transit-oriented approach. it encompasses very little marine field development. in terms of the house in distribution, santa clara and two other counties would take on the lion's share of the region's growth. san francisco would see its percentage of the region's households and populations decline from 13% to 12%. that would be in part because we really work to recognize the existing plan, recognize that making these plans have been will take a lot of investment. but as we move forward, we are open and want to hear from all the jurisdictions, certainly san francisco and the region, in terms of how growth might be accommodated here. there is certainly no better place in the bay area to accommodate sustainable growth. within san francisco, you cannot really read this slide, but it sho

new systems can accommodate not just the current plan, but also the service that we anticipate 32035. the implementation schedule is shown at a high level on this graph. environmental reviews are first critical and we anticipate it will take up to 24 months. during that time, we will be working to move travel time production proposals forward. as well as other complementary capital work. the goal is similar to the other capital plan with projects ready to be implemented at the conclusion of the process. as indicated, we have identified 10% funding for this project. overall capital costs are $170 million has identified to federal sources. the implementation strategy will allow us to shape a funding plan are around the remaining funding gaps. we believe that projects like the travel time proposals, designed to improve operating efficiencies, are going to compete well for discretionary funds. we will be realigning the existing capital programs. an example would beyond terrible street, the city is going to completely rebuild terrible street in 2018. that will include sue wert working, rai

you had talked about a reasonable accommodation requests. for many of our seniors and disabled individuals who are not able to repair their room for inspection, what does that mean, what does preparation mean? >> we will frequently find in situations with seniors, people with mobility problems, that they may not be in an appropriate situation to prep the room, or as materials, move things away from the wall so that treatment can occur. in those situations, we will deal with several agencies. adult protective services, legal services for the elderly. we will work with our code enforcement outreach program, the sro collaborative, so they can contact individuals to help them prep the room. we really try to be sensitive to the issues because we realize if the room is not prepped properly for the best control operator, we are not going to get the results intended for desired. supervisor kim: what does prepping a room mean? >> essentially, moving things away from the wall, boxing materials, assisting with the treatment of the personal items so tha

right now, we are accommodating 4 3 feet of sea level rise in what we are doing. you can see that in those charts. as far as seismic safety, we think that this will be -- this chart shows the way it will fill in san francisco. we think it will be the most seismically safe plant in san francisco. that will make this a safer place, including mission bay. chairperson mar: i know john elberling brought this up and said the seismic concern is one of the biggest issues. when with the seismic and other infrastructure changes be made? is this right at the beginning of the project? >> this would be done before any buildings could be billed. that area would have to be seismically upgraded. the would be the first improvements made. chairperson mar: 1 others like you did not get to yet is the -- one slide you did not get to yet is the bcdc slide about seismic safety. my biggest question -- this is an island. downtown is surrounded by land. but this is still an island. i know we heard presentations before about how the different reinforcements around the island were making it

supervisors, the different categories, prior to the changes of the department policy regarding accommodations for officers that cannot perform the full scope of duties, the number, for example, from 2004, it was 163, and we are now down. these are officers that because of their restrictions are not able to perform their full duties. they are out on disability leave for up to one year. on or off of the job, but based upon this, they can be assigned duty. chair chu: i imagine there is some disciplinary action? >> yes, and these are officers that may be on leave, be it family care league, personally, etc.. chair chu: so this is something you can follow up on? what is the department doing to move through and come to some level of action on the disciplinary and on leave? for example, either active efforts to make sure that they're being actively worked on? and then, what about when it is appropriate? what can we do to improve that number? >> supervisor, i am concerned about these numbers, and i look at them by weekly. this is to make sure that anybody is back working, and i need to take a full dut

there were areas where the road was not wide enough to accommodate the design. anyway, we approved the measure unanimously to read your measure no. 5, we also approved unanimously. one of them with some changes to the university communications station and replacing the liner at tel street station. you've got to do that. you cannot have puddles of water on the floor. first time there is a lawsuit, you will lose. we recommended that one in light of those factors. supervisor campos: colleagues, and any questions for the citizens revisory committee? we thank you for your work. great. thank you. is there any member of the public would like to speak on item three? seeing none, public comment is closed. madam clerk, call item four. >> item four, recommending the san francisco mta jfk drive parking buffered by way project to revise the scope, schedule, and budget and change the funded phase of work from contract to planning and design. supervisor campos: great. good morning. >> good morning, supervisors. the item i will be presenting is on page 17 of your packet. it is

indoors, it is true that we have to accommodate to ada, americans with disabilities act. i have been a project manager and have worked at the presidio with qualified certification is in every department. that is fine. but please do not bring our children here

it can accommodate growth and workspace. and it is a workup on its own. in the empirical evidence that in terms of people commuting to work by transit, locating jobs next to a fixed rail and regional transit is the most important thing you can do. that will be a major focus of this effort. the city has done a lot of work with a major focus on housing. but not as much on jobs. this plan is taking the opportunity to plan and job growth, in particular, office growth in the city. there is a substantial amount of development potential in the area. the northern portions of this area, some areas to the west have been largely built out. but once you move further south, there are substantial opportunities whether they are low scale or industrial buildings. we'll be taking a more focused look to see how we can move them into the plan. there is a substantial amount of demand for development in this area of. while there is still high vacancy in the district, there is almost no vacancy in the south of market and the rent has substantially risen. the record there is no

increased by 20% and allowed to accommodate an expanded children's play area, to meet new ada and safety features, and to include expanded seating throughout the park. there is really no green space. there is really no where to sit down. that is something the new plan provides. the new mason street plaza will allow us to strengthen the visual connections between the library and the park and to allow users to use both the park and the library freely, and be able to pass freely between both facilities, and provides a new passive seeking space in north beach, which currently does not have one. the two-story library design shall accommodate the increased collections and public service functions for the library, and a community meeting room and after our space on the second floor. these are all facilities the community have repeatedly asked for. we can provide them together. in terms of the street vacation, it will be conditional. it will not go into effect until the city is ready to build a new library. until that time, mason street will remain as a publicly dedicated street. in addition, at

we will also be doing the technical evaluation to figure out what locations can evaluate brigid accommodate the platforms. they do require some very specific right of way dimensions. supervisor avalos: that worries me. [laughter] >> the last set of initiatives that our long term study plan, including comprehensive communication plans, as well as two related studies to help us understand how the system will grow beyond ep, a number of issues came up the went beyond the timeline but are important to understanding how as an agency we accommodate the land use growth that is expected. looking at the long-range plan we still have the attraction power of long-range study, providing power to the trolly overhead system. you only place a subsidized -- substation every 20 to 30 years. new systems can accommodate not just the current plan, but also the service that we anticipate 32035. the implementation schedule is shown at a high level on this graph. environmental reviews are first critical and we anticipate it will take up to 24 months. during that time, we will be working to move travel time produc

we have the group picnic area which should accommodate 200 people, tennis courts are full. it also has 3 playground areas. the ampitheater was built in 1972. it was the home of the first blues festival. given the fact that jerry garcia used to play in this park, he was from this neighborhood, everybody knows his reputation. we thought what a great thing it would be to have an ampitheater named after jerry garcia. that is a name that has panache. it brings people from all over the bay area to the ampitheater. the calls that come in, we'd like to do a concert at the jerry garcia ampitheater and we do everything we can to accommodate them and help them because it gets people into the park. people like a lot of color and that's what they call a park. other people don't. you have to try to reconcile all those different points of view. what should a park look like and what should it have? should it be manicured, should it be nice little cobblestones around all of the paths and like that. the biggest objective of course is getting people into the park to appreciate open space. wha

my hope is, is that both sides will come to some, you know, accommodation with respect to the rhetoric and really focus as the american people want them to on the nuts and bolts here, which is creating the jobs, getting the economy settled. i think the president is right,

commissioner murase: in accommodation to lisa spinali, for the past five years lisa spinali has led the san francisco school volunteers and the combined san francisco education fund, san francisco school volunteers as executive director, focusing work on tackling the barriers to academic achievement by partnering with people. whereas her career is dedicated to expanding community investment in public education since she graduated from the harvard business school, beginning with the position at american express where she was on loan to meche corps, the pioneering program to engage young people as teachers in public schools nationwide. whereas in 1963 san francisco volunteers has promoted volunteerism among community members in our public schools and since 1979 san francisco education fund has created important private sector partnerships to expand resources to classrooms. drawing from the distinct strength of each organization, under the leadership of ms. spinali, the two respected organizations were merged into a single san francisco education fund. therefore be it resolved that the boa

five, maintaining adequate water depth of current deep water areas to accommodate activities by prioritizing funding of minimum levels in the annual counterplan. 6, promoting marine recreational uses for current developments and recreational uses. 7, prioritize independent uses for the purpose of accommodating non-maritime uses in public access corridors as otherwise identified in the land use plan. leslie, part of this policy was the creation of a maritime policy fund, the purpose of which would be to create revenue sources for preparing neighborhoods and facilities that support numerous maritime needs. we will continue to work with our stakeholders to define funding options for this purpose, such as development contributions for rehabilitation projects. there are other ideas that we have that we welcome back to the port commission with at our next meeting. the policy is meant to guide staff in the importance of maritime assets for current maritime activity in accordance with long maritime history and perpetual mission. why this policy? what is at risk? i would look -- i would like to quote

and then after that, we will hear from those who have asked for reasonable accommodation. then we will go to general public comment. >> and we are limiting the time to two minutes to address the joint body. >> as you know, this is regarding the california pacific medical center long-range development and tonight's meeting is the first of three meetings to cover the detail of the upcoming development project. if there was three hearings in the fall of 2009 including one joint hearing of the to the institutional master plan which included discussion about their proposed projects under review. there is also one hearing regarding the draft eir. the goal of this series is to provide a more in-depth and up- to-date discussion about these projects and the progress made on some topics since the hearings. we would like to remind people that these are not for making comments on the draft eir and we would like to everyone to focus -- have their comments focus on the informational hearing. we will present a high level overview of the project, the strategy for complying with the seismi

these are for interior work to accommodate the use. we suspended the permits initially based on the comments that we receive from the appellate. we were concerned that there would be changes to the building. we understand the appellant's concerns. we try to address those issues in order to protect the building. we suspended the permit and review the permits. what was proposed under the permits was acceptable. we did note that there were issues with the exterior of the building. that is what commissioner fung noted that was earlier this year. it was to address some issues on this building. it was in addition to one of the permits that was suspended by this action. the permit that we will see as fixing one of these problems cannot be issued until the suspension will be released on the permits here. the appeals of the suspension prevents the permit from being issued. it removes the existing steel gate at the front or replaces the windows with the same kind of places the exterior door with the same kind of paint on the outside of the skill

need some sort of accommodation. we will refer those individuals to those agencies so they can assist with the preparation of the room. 90% of the treatment is prepping the room properly. one thing we have heard in the department of building inspection -- i was just a mental health conference. i had an individual indicate that the pesticides in hz single room occupancy hotel were too severe for her. she could not get information from the licensed pest control operators regarding what materials were being used. she wanted other materials to be considered. the san francisco task force formed by this board meets regularly on a monthly basis. i was recently elected as the new chair to that. one of the items that came up recently in our discussion with the health department is the fact that there may be another alternative that is useful in situations where people cannot tolerate pesticides. one thing we suggested in that came out of the discussion with the task force is that the health the apartment could talk with the p

if it is more, we can accommodate the additional sea level rise. commissioner torres: if i may, what benefit is it to the ratepayers that we provide these protections? >> i do not quite understand the question. commissioner torres: are we going to ensure that we have a minimum of 16 inches for the project? to what benefit are all those improvements? >> most of the cost the gentleman was talking about is the developers' costs. >> there will be a funding mechanism that will be in place that raises money over time under development to pay for that infrastructure. commissioner torres: so, these will not be borne by the ratepayers of sand and cisco? >> correct. they have the benefit we have of being able to raise the island by 3 feet for a storm system today. it will eliminate the pump stations that necessary to get water off of the island. after 16 inches of sea level rise, we will need to adjust. that is what the project pays for. president vietor: and the project will pay for it? >> correct. >> there will be a shared cost. there are certain things we
