i know it was a concern at the last meeting that these concerns hadn't been agendized. my concern is still around the 200,000 -- it just seems like right now where we are as an agency and with all the priorities that we're having to cut that it seems like a pretty big amount of money to do this study on something as far as i've heard is not that feasible project to do a desal project that has such high energy conservations. >> a from a cost-analysis poich the broader sheet is in there and at least based on the costs to date because there's no major plum lingts involved, this is on the low end. in terms of expense, this is not as expensive a project. it has lot of other questions that need to be oresolved but suspense is not one of them. commissioner caen: you mean as far as the capital or the study? >> the capital. the cost is about $1,000 per acre foot. i don't know if that's the right number but that certainly makes it more cost effective than a lot of the other project we're spending on right now. commissioner caen: but that doesn't factor into the implications, the

. >> commissioners, we agendized an item. the commission cannot just direct staff to work on the outreach with them. president o'brien: yes, i do want to make one comment. i do not want to make it long because it is late. the tests that some of the conviction is somehow related to the job they are applying for. i do not want to see an employer having his decision being questioned as to whether he thinks a conviction is relevant to the position of the job that he is applying for. i think it would be more important that they have the latitude to determine whether or not the conviction is a serious enough offense to say they are not comfortable working with the person. just a comment i want to make. i think you should work on the program, and we will work more on it. >> we need to move to public comment. president o'brien: i am sorry. public comment. clerk: i have one speaker card. >> i am wearing more than one hat. i will be brief. i have been a small-business owner for over 40 years, if you include deliver the bulletin, and i

maybe in the future, i would like to agendize a city and the attorney response. >> i feel you are trying to muscle my complaints about the department. i feel that is inappropriate. i would like to state that right here. i will put the statement in writing and forward it for your review. i hope you take it all too hard. there is a really good language in here. i would like to let everyone else know about this. thank you for that. vice president mar: thank you. >> good morning. my name is nancy. i understand that the building inspection commission will change its name to the department of building safety. i support this change in name. if the name change means anything substantive, there must be a serious commitment to the enforcement of the building code. i requested you also create procedures to respond quickly to urgent complaints from the public, which will keep people safe. case in point is the a permitted excavation and demolition job begun friday morning by my next- door neighbor, a licensed contractor, who repeatedly performs work without permits. i immediately reported this by pho

and then maybe we could talk about it when is agendized. commissioner murphy: i'm asking the director. >> yes, it is. commissioner lee: i will save the rest for later. commissioner hechanova: any other comments? >> public comment on item 11a? 11b, future meetings and agendas. the commission may discuss and take action to set the date of a special meeting and/or determine those items that could be placed on the agenda of the next meeting and other future meetings of the building inspection commission. commissioner walker: i just want to say our next litigation is -- our next litigation meeting is july 19. the building inspection commission meeting will be on july 20. and then we have one in june, to, right? >> yes. is there any public comment on the item 11b? the next item is item 12, adjournment. commissioner murphy: i make a motion we adjourn. commissioner walker: second. >> we are now adjourned. >> this is a dpw corporation yard. i work for the bureau of street environmental services used to be street cleaning. we are a new age. >> here w

however, for agendizing reasons, we will call item 9 and 10 it together, and we will take public comment on both items. is that ok? we will only take action on item number nine. ok. commissioners, and nine, a discussion and possible action to make recommendations to the board of supervisors on board of supervisors filed -- file 11 0279. this amends section 781.4 of the planning code to prohibit formula retail pet supply stores as defined in the during boulevard fast-food district -- in the geary boulevard fast-food district. according formula retail pet supply stores in the subdistrict. commissioners, supervisor eric mar is here to present. supervisor mar: 54 during us tonight. i just want to say it has been fascinating to watch the issues you are discussing tonight. i am here to ask your support for a piece of legislation that i've been working on for several months with a coalition of pet supply stores and richmond district small businesses. it is a broad coalition of groups, the coalition to save san francisco pat stores. i want to also say that this legislation will help level the pl

and we will probably -- i mean it would be good for us to just agendize the sfeda once a year to provide updates and programming and things that they've worked on throughout the year. >> go ahead, commissioner clay? >> i would just like to give some information to the public. >> i understand your services are not just for start-ups. they're not just for people getting off the ground. they are for people who have businesss that might be five years in and really need to grow and are having challenges getting to the next level. and i just want to make sure thaw the public knows that we have these resources free and at very low cost when anyone is trying to get their business to the next level and, you know, where it can just be so incredibly hard. so thank you for that as well. >> i support that. thank you all for being here. and for your presentations. >> thank you. >> and thanks for being here so long. >> yeah. >> are ok. next item, please. chris? >> commissioner's item 13 director's report. update and report on the small business assistance certain. update on department programs, update

any idea how it might impact the democrat agend a. >> weiner went to pelosi and said i am guilty and she told him to go out there and tell the truth. she said you are on your own pal. the democrats are in a minority in the house. they don't have a great chance of retaking the house and will not come down to this congressional seat. clearly knocks them off track and message for the next few days. >> weiner said he's not going to resign. you would think he would be finished politically. what do you think he -- would happen. >> he thinks that the constitients would give him the benefit of the doubt. democrats tend to have more leeway. this is a guy who wanted be mayor and a political future but chris cain said he's finished. >> i can see why. >> the shooting that killed a three month old boy and wounded his parents is likely a case of mistaken identity. overcome with grief, the baby's mother attended a new's conference where police announced they arrested a 17 year old boy . a second teen is in custody. he mistook the shooting victims for his attackers. garcia lopez was wounded trying t

his agend saw to somehow bring down the syrian regime and, yes, as you point out there, we've seen confessionsd reforms being put into place by the president. most recently he declared an amnesty for anyone who has committed any crime up until may 31st. that, however, ended up not really being an amnesty in the sense of a general pardon, although we did see hundreds of prisoners the majority of them really only had their sentence reduced. when it comes to the demonstration, the government continues to say that there are people that carry weapons and, yet, we have not seen any sort of concrete evidence of this. we cannot independently verify any accounts who think the government is still not allowing this from syria and also yesterday's demonstrations, for example, were dubbed demonstrations for the freedom of children. they were in honor of the dozens of children that activists say have been killed, especially the case of 13-year-old who was horrifically mutilated and the images on youtube came a battle cry for the opposition and that is evidence is the opposition says that they are not armed.
