be a nonprofit organization, any cdos, or any other local government, the city as the primary grantee would have the responsibility of monitoring those other entities to make sure they are in compliance with the federal requirements. the finding related to a [speaker not understood] member, the data universal numbering system which is a number that is applied to an organization and it's used by the federal agencies to help track where the funding is going. so, there is a requirement to obtain the required number from the [speaker not understood] prior to awarding any subcontracts. so, as a result of our audit for these two federal programs, we found that the dph did not obtain such numbers from the recipients for 2012. would you like the department to speak on this item? >> thank you. >> [speaker not understood] from department of public health. we have notified all our contractors that they're required to submit the [speaker not understood] number that will be part of their requirement along with the turning in their audited financial statements. and, so, we are -- we do have that co

any of the staff? i had one question. i mean, i guess when you're saying a dramatic increase in activity, is it that -- what does that mean, is that there's more street life, the venues are more full, i'm not seeing as many incidents on this list as we have in the past, so to me, that's great, if a lot more is happening and fewer instances are being reported. >> without giving any bias or any direction, i'm saying there are more people attending the nightclubs and in general, any time that you do a resurgence of anybody, you're going to have some growing pains so we're experiencing that in the city right now. i kept this list short intentionally, i didn't want to sum up the whole month because there was a lot of stuff and it would make it look like things were just a little bit out of control and i don't think that that would be appropriate. >> okay. any other thoughts, comments? no? alright. thank you very much, staff. we're going to move on to -- oh, public comment on -- >> and then the police depart

so, if you look at any legislative analysis, any stand or support or oppose [speaker not understood], you can guarantee that item has gone through the state legislation committee process. the second part of your question, commissioner, was, then, how does the city's lobbyist in sacramento then follow through on those recommendations. the mayor's office retains the services of a lobbyist in san francisco to advocate for those items that have been considered and acted on by the state legislation committee. so, that is a very clear direction that the city now has an official position of support or oppose and it gives all lobbyists then clear direction as to what we'd like to see happen in sacramento whenever they might be asked. how does the city feel about x or y. it's very clear and transparent. currently our lobbyist in sacramento is the firm shaw yoder antwee. communication with lead advocate paul yoder and provide input from other city department, city staff. while we do have single [speaker not understood] designated to be our key point of contact, we have multiple advocates from t

. >> any other comments, any other questions? seeing none, thank you very much. >> thank you. >> madam secretary, item number 5. >> item 5, action item, eliminate $75,000 lifetime cap on uhc transgender benefit for active and early retiree plans, lisa ghotbi. >> thank you, lisa ghotbi acting director. this is something we usually deal with during the rates benefits process, but this issue didn't come to light to the health service system until last week. we wanted to make sure we brought it to your attention now so we can make sure we get it into our guides and it's clear for our members going forward. it was actually a memo issued by the department of managed health care on april 9th of 2013 which essentially says that no lifetime limits are allowed under any plan that's licensed under the department of managed health care when it comes to any kind of gender reassignment benefits. so, the two plans we have that are administered through the department of managed health care blue shield and kaiser, this is a legislative change tha

are there any public comment on this? you guys aren't the public. nope. seeing none, public comment is closed. the matter is now with the commission. >> so, i just want to say that for those of you who don't know, shelf space was problematic years ago, they had a bunch of parties that ran out of control for a lot of reasons including the naivety of the people who ran the party and is the people who came in there. there hasn't been a lot of activity there now, so i think that from my perspective, i do believe that a space that -- a venue that provides space for artists of all types, kids of all ages to come in and whether they have alcohol or not is important in the actual -- cultural activity in our community, if they can do 18 and over, that would be great. i understand these people should be straight up with the police at all times and not embellish or not leave out information when applying for permits with the station because the station sends patrol cars out and so if you're not 100% truthful, they're going to know it and you won't have the courtesy

. >> any questions? >> thank you very much. >> >> good afternoon, commissioners eric brooks, san francisco green party and the local grassroots organization in the city. and i just want to get up to kind of piggy back on what mike just said, and reiterate, i think that you folks got from the sierra club a pretty clear letter that is that the sierra club is very dedicated to making sure that use the pras and other mechanisms to getting the union labor heavily involved in this build out project. and i can also say for the rest of the community coalition, that is working for clean power sf and making it strong that we also concur with the statement that the sierra club put out and so the grassroots organizizers out here are strongly, supportive and would be deeply concerned about a program that did not maximize to the greatest extent possible the union labor on the project. when the projects were then programmed. >> and that is paramount and it is just smart for us to take that position and even though i am

this ordinance that was ultimately preclude you from responding to any rfq or any rfp? >> so i guess that the question is why now? what happened for the first few years and was it a consideration and were you knowledgeable of it and when did you become knowledgeable of it and how did that weigh into your deliberations to stay on the commission? >> in the beginning, i did not think about it because i did not know it was civic design review. i had no idea, because i never, i thought that we were being reviewing our murals and i didn't... i was sort of, you know i didn't know. then, as i, and then i was given the chairmanship and then as i, i think that i just over time, watched the way that projects got designed and managed and you know, you sit there and you think about it and sometimes you go that is the kind of project that my firm would do and sometimes you think, they are doing a really good job and that is great. and you see them being done in ways that you think that your firm could do better? and it makes you, i think, you know that might have been. and it was mor

was any lateral load that would be added. all of the work that is being done at grade. and there is no excavation, other than to create the room for the ground for addition to be moved out. we have offered for months and years, before this appeal was filed, to have meetings between the engineers. and the architect has met him. and we have had communications and writing with the appellant. and we have meetings with him to discuss the project and all of our meetings he has been supportive of the project as he has mentioned here tonight. and i think that we are dealing with phantoms here in terms of speculation about what might happen with respect to this project. we have agreed to monitor the project and the retaining wall to see if in fact there is impact which we don't believe that there will be we will address it through the monitoring and equals that we are undertaking with respect to the project and address them at that time and i don't know how else to respond. because it is a never ending series of questions which they a

i can't think of any member in any party of this house who would sign up to that.hy it's important we do have the doctrine of humanitarian intervention which is set out in the attorney general's excellent legal advice to this house. let me give way to my honorable friend. >> i'm very grateful to my right honorable friend and grateful for him to take the time to listen to the concerns of various residents about yet further british military intervention in the middle east. can i ask him why is it that our allies in the middle east, saudi, emirates, qatar, and others cannot take military action. why does it fall on us again? >> no decision about military action has been taken. it would require another vote of this house, but if we wanted to see action that was purely about deterring and degrading future chemical weaponles use by syria and that is the only base on which i would support action, you need the countries to have the exhibits are doing that of which the united states and united kingdom are two. i will take interventions. >> on the matter of international law

but, we would welcome any comments or suggestions that any of you have and i do hope that you will send those to us, as quickly as you can given that, it is already almost the end of august, and the middle of september will be here before we know it thank you. >> what we have here is the draft and copy. so this is the draft and yes this is not the official possible. >> we have not take be the official position, it is a work in progress. >> you are asking the commission, to read through it which is a nice read of the 200 some odd pages. >> 237. >> okay and then maybe, just kind of agree or disagree or just say, look we would kind of feel that if you are tick ... articulated it this way. >> since this is a joint response from the department and the commission, then obviously, any specifics that you in the course of your reading will think, we have missed or that we need to reconsider, i certainly would like to know that. and so that the response that goes the official response, is the satisfacorty to all of you and the departments. >> commissioners? >> yeah, i want to thank you, this is..

is there any reporting requirement? >> if the contribution is a result of purging, then that supervisor or elected official, the state law requires a filing of what we called a (inaudible) form and any time that a private entity makes a contributions that was generated in some form by the influence of an elected official they have to file that. >> it has to be initiated by the public official as opposed to somebody who is doing his homework and saying, what is a charitable organizations that supervisor x, is closely involved with. and i am going to... i am going to make the contributions to it. >> there is not any requirement >> no. it is if you are... and i believe that the state is kind of looking at this, where and i don't know how far along it is, where anyone doing business with the city and makes a contribution in excess of $5,000 will have to report them as a matter of course. >> regardless of whether anyone urged them to do it. >> right. >> otherwise, at this time, it is the elected official who has to made the
