of course building garden beds that would be appropriate and that also would take into consideration the water situation that we're in. the other project is to provide, one of the reasons for the gardening project is it helps provide what we call policy systems and environment change and by having these gardens, the seniors would have increased access to more healthy food and by growing some of the fruits and vegetables that they may have there. then another second project is to provide nutrition education and there we have identified ones that would be appropriate that are also approved by the usda and this is the eat smart living strong can urriculum. the third project is more health promotion and that is implementing the tai chi moving for better balance. the idea with that is to contract out with a master trainer who could then provide train the trainer for providers in the community that are interested in bringing this program back to their agency and then having it at their center to, as another model that they can offer for the seniors who attend the center. so in addition to

so we propose to demolish the existing pool shell and reinstall a new plaster shell with the appropriate bondinging at. we can accomplish this project during the upcoming maintenance period that starts friday of this week and cost estimate is $110,780. so the total you have there with 25% contingency to cover all four projects is $654,630. so our recommendation to the commission is approval of this amount from the open space contingency reserve to fund the proposed four deferred maintenance projects. >> i have a question. >> i apologize. >> is there no recourse to the pool contractor on that bonding? >> there is not. it's outside of the warranty period and they built it to spec, so we can't get them on poor workmanship and we.ed patched it twice. >> is there any public comment on the item, with that we'll entertain and motion. >> so moved. >> second. >> all those in favor, say aye? >> aye. >> the secretary informed we didn't get a motion on item 7. is there a motion to approve item 7? >> what was item 7 -- i'm sorry, i would move to have that approved. >> i will second that. >> moved and

later, i found out he was the of the defense appropriation subcommittee. it turned into a fight between the appropriations committee and the educations committee. the appropriations committee was much more powerful, so that was my introduction into congress that although these different rules go on and that sort of thing. i am -- another thing that i worked on with the tax credit. i think it is a better way to go than minimum wage. that would help people who are low income and who need help and who are trying to support their .amily and working with the minimum wage, we feel very good because we order some poor small businessman to pay more to their worker, and they are often not able to pay much to themselves under that system. under the earned income tax credit, we all chip in and through the earned income tax critic, we help them out. and it is better because it can vary according to family size. so i thought he was better and argued for it, and we had tom andey, who was on the ways means committee at the time, and others support it. we did increase and

verbal and written comments received and ma revisions to the draft eir as appropriate. that concludes my presentation and i am available for questions if you have any questions. once again, as the commission secretary said, the planning commission is having a hearing on the draft eir november 20th and so for members of the public who would like to make testimony on that eir may comment in person at the planning commission on november 20th. thank you. >> commissioner wolfram. >> i had a question about in the -- it wasn't included in the preservation alternative, but there was a discussion about the is it the cannoline building, the potential of building it which would then move the impact to less than significant, but is one of the criteria for moving it, one of the criteria was that it had to be moved off the 5m site and no site was found to be suitable off the site. why was that a criteria? did you consider moving it within the 5m site? >> this is something we can respond to in writing in the comments and responses document and i believe what you are ruefr *r referring

you can say no funds in this appropriation bill shall be used to issue those permits. that happens all the time. >> will it go back on the republicans if they do that? >> not if it's very targeted and very limited. what are we talking about? maybe denying a couple million dollars worth of spending issuing those permits? this is not threatening government shutdown or anything drastic. this is just very targeted at those actions where he's exceeded his legal authority. >> the president defenders are going to say you're tearing apart families, we're trying to help children here. >> president obama is not really interested in a solution. he's interested in a political issue. we want to solve the problem. the only way you do that is you first have to secure the border. once you've done that then the american public will have the confidence and you won't be insulting the rule of law. you won't be insulting those immigrants that came here and followed the law. >> senator johnson, good to see you, sir. >> have a great night. >> you too. president obama says the actions he's ta

i think that the kiosks are well done, i think the design of them will be appropriate, in keeping yet certainly contemporary and distinguishable. the one thought that i had was whether kiosk no. 4 could be slid over so that 3 and 4 were combined. there seems to be a rhythm in the arcade that this interrupts and it creates a little bit of noise behind the arcade that i think it was more symetrical with the layout of the arches and then this, then, would be mirrored, i would assume, on the south side. so therefore then what's going on behind the arches would have some symmetry to it. the way it's laid out now it seems like there's a discontinent rhythm behind the arches. yeah, just move from the left, 4 so it's adjacent to 3. i think that would serve the program the same way. >> slide 3 over half a bay. >> one and 2 are on center with column line 6. if 3 and 4 are on center with column line 8, then that would create some symmetry. i personally question whether 5 is really appropriate, but i'm sure that it's rentable space so where it's at i guess would be fine. but it is behind the squa

, appropriateness. that really seems to be one of the focuses of the issues around the end of life, as you described, the sense of, when is it appropriate? why are we treating high cholesterol and somebody who has the expectancy of two years. >> guest: the medication makes him dizzy and likely to fall. >> host: and then they confuse it with an important medication a speech to a core point which is, how do we deal with it. the great fear that people have is that it, even if appropriateness means it is no longer about my choice about what is appropriate -- and that think what we are seeing is a revolution about what it means to be a doctor fifty years ago it was a paternalistic doctor knows best to my doctor would tell you what you are going to get to my door might not tell you what is really going on with you, never would go through the options . >> host: yes, doctor, whenever you say kind of thing. >> guest: bright. we've rebels in the 70's, 80's, and 90's about that. by the time you and i were trained

i later learned he was the hairman of the defense appropriation subcommittee. it turned into a fight between the appropriations committee and the education committee. the bill was adopted. it was a good introduction to the congress and the rules. i am very -- another thing i worked on that i was happy with was modernizing the earned income tax credit. i think it's a better way to go then minimum wage to help people who are low income and who need help. with the minimum wage, we feel good because we order some poor small business to pay more to the worker. they are often not able to pay much to themselves. if we feel as a community someone is trying to support a family and not earning enough money, we all chip in and help that out. it can vary according to family size. i thought it was better and argued for it. tom downey was on the ways and means committee at the time. number of others supported and we did modernize the earned income tax credit. we would move away from the minimum wage and use this as a better way of dealing with it. now we have the old minimum

the sources of funding would be the 1,250,000 which was previously appropriated by the board of supervisors and authorized an 83,100,000. on page 77 of our report we state that because the future commitment of significant city funds, because of that significant expenditure the budget and legislative analyst considers approval of the proposed ordinance authorizing the conditional land acquisition to be a policy matte for the board of supervisors. according to mr. updike if the board of supervisors does not approve the proposed ordinances the city would likely lose the opportunity to purchase 1500-1580 mission street. our recommendation as mr. updike alluded to. we recommend you amend the proposed ordinance to change the reference from 466,400 gross square feet to the most recent estimated size of the city's office building and as i stated we consider approval of this legislation to be a policy matter for the board of supervisors. >> okay, thank you very much, mr. rose. we'll move to public comment. anybody wish to comment on items 13 or 14? okay, seeing none, public comment is closed. we hav

i think there's ample evidence that executive orders are very appropriate. and if you look at history, if you look at the last ten presidents, including four republicans, president obama has used executive orders a lot less on average. >> so he was wrong? >> four republican presidents -- no, i think the president is right in that he cannot pass laws. he has said he was not a king. >> no, he wasn't speaking of that. >> i know, megyn, i think we need to make sure our audience understand that the word senator cruz loves to use, illegal amnesty, it's not what we're talking about. >> illegally citizenship -- >> amnesty president reagan passed in 1998 -- >> no, i agree with you on that. >> thank you. >> that's a hot button term that the right uses to sort of get people -- >> thank you for agreeing. >> and some believe what he's doing amounts to amnesty. legally it isn't. if you can go back to what i said, i really searching genuinely for an answer. the president -- whatever you feel, this needs to be done in terms of helping these families. what i'm asking you is

budget to make sure that the hoa has appropriate money for operating expenses for clean tg sidewalks and maintaining the elevators and having lights, but also appropriate reserves for long term replacement, for roof replacement, for long term capital items. so we, working with a consultant l produce a budget and will submitted to bureau of real estate and in sacramento, and they review it to make sure that it is including everything that needs to be included, that we aren't skimping on things that the homeowners will need to pay for long term and that budget is very thorough and goes through a process and is reviewed by the bureau of real estate and when we get our white report to close the units that says that the bre has signed off. we will work proactively with ocii and the bureau of real estate to make sure that that budget is in line with the guidelines which, really quite frankly, are based on what we have just done with the ndc at 1400 mission. but we're highly confident that we can do that and they're really there as a check against us to make sure we're doing the right thing

i have 1 dr item under consent, no. 6 at 3224521st street, request for certificate of appropriateness, i have no speaker cards. >> thank you, commissioners, would any of you like to pull this off consent? seeing none, open up to the public. any member member of the public wish to pull this off consent? seeing none, bring it back to the commission. >> i move to adopt the consent klepb ker. >> commissioner hyland, yes. commissioner johnck, commissioner. commissioner matsuda, yes. commissioner wolfram, yes. and commission president hasz, yes. that passes unanimously 7-0 and places you under your regular calendar, item 7, the 5m project draft environmental impact report. please note that this public hearing is intended to assist the commission in its preparation of comments on the draft eir comments made by members of the public at this hearing will not be considered comments on the draft eir and may not be responded to in the final eir the planning commission will hold a public hearing to receive comments on the draft eir on november 20, 2014. written comments on the draft eir will be ac

you can't do it through the normal run-of-the-mill appropriations process. that is what would need to be worked out. >> you have introduced this new term. continuing resolution and omnibus spending measure. let's see what he is tweeting about. he says -- he is saying it should not be included in any sort of appropriations measure. >> right. the argument from chairman rogers and most lawmakers on both sides of the aisle, that is a separate debate for a legislative debate from something that should be tied to this appropriations bill. it is true that it is difficult to do it through the regular process. there is this reality that if the government were to shut down, if there is no deal by the 11th of december, it would still be going on when it comes to president obama's immigration action because there are user fees that people have when they apply with immigration status that would be funding this program. even that gets a bit complicated and it's a difficult question to see how you go about doing it. the more persistent lawmakers would like to do. >> the so

they were approved on a basis that all work completed and proposed is appropriate and consistent wtd requirements established in the mills act. mike buehler with san francisco heritage was here earlier, he apologized he had to leave because he had a scheduling conflict but wanted us to add that sf heritage is voicing their support of these contracts and the program in general. planning staff and individual property owners are available to answer questions regarding the program or the agreed-upon rehabilitation plans that we put into place for each of them. also representatives of the recorder's office are present today to answer any questions regarding the property tax valuations. thank you. >> mr. chairman, i know that there is a budget analyst report and then of course we'll comment. >> mr. rose -- supervisor avalos. >> just a question. supervisor wiener discussed how there's compared to la and oakland and san diego there are many fewer mills act projects and building structures. what's the main difference between why we have such a huge outliar in terms of these different cities.

is he saying there should not be an appropriations measure? >> right, the position of chairman rogers and like-minded representatives is that is a separate debate. certainly that it is difficult to do it through the regular process. the other thing is particularly there is also this reality that if the government were to 11, some by december of this would be gone when it comes to president obama's immigration action because there are user fees when people apply for immigration status that would be funding this program. even that is a little bit complicated and it is a really difficult question to see how you would actually go about doing what some of the more persistent lawmakers would like to do. >> a couple of last things -- the so-called tax extenders package extending tax breaks. a report late in the week that there is a package developing in the house and senate leaders next week and the president reportedly will be go that. what do you know about that? >> the package that was circulating around early in the week ahead of the holiday was

you can say no funds in this appropriation bill shall be used to issue those permits. that happens all the time. >> will it go back on the republicans if they do that? >> not if it's very targeted and very limited. what are we talking about? maybe denying a couple million dollars worth of spending issuing those permits? this is not threatening government shutdown or anything drastic. this is just very targeted at those actions where he's exceeded his legal authority. >> the president defenders are going to say you're tearing apart families, we're trying to help children here. >> president obama is not really interested in a solution. he's interested in a political issue. we want to solve the problem. the only way you do that is you first have to secure the border. once you've done that then the american public will have the confidence and you won't be insulting the rule of law. you won't be insulting those immigrants that came here and followed the law. >> senator johnson, good to see you, sir. >> have a great night. >> you too. president obama says the actions he's ta

i think it would be appropriate for the developer to do the right thing and to commemorate some telling of significant fashion illustrious history. he was a labor leader, he fought in the civil war. there was a witch hunt in the 1950s. the activities committee he was headed for congress. and many of the things, he was a wonderful person because of that. when the college was lifted in the air people got together and in small check. he donated 30, $40,000 which i think is still hanging out in the san francisco foundation. available to do something to commemorate that particular building. it was shipped off to a parking lot by the muni bus track, railroad basin 20 years ago. it's still sitting out there. in some sort of commemorative condition to be attached to this board [speaker not understood] exercising discretion, do it in the appropriate, i think it would be well suited and in this building if it's going to go forward, and i thank you. >> next speaker. >>> president chiu and members of the board of supervisors, i'm david golden, i'm the chief facility officer for the san francisco un

and that transaction can be appropriated at the state level it's a road that's been traveled, if you will, by another cities we've pursue is in district 10 where most of the street lights are on pg&e light poles and some recent examples where pg&e has sold similar the cross arm and the limb and part of the street light not the pole that's a wood utility pole so we have ready examples when we've looked the system we know that pg&e owns we've tried to see how much they're going to cost the city to install led system in its place we estimate that costs us too 62 and one hundred and 15 million that's a rough estimate not a insignificant endeavor and be responsible for bringing those systems up to our level of service exceptions and would need to look at what the operation and maintenance costs will be to seem those responsibilities. >> i have another quick question i think about i know it's been over a year i've heard the general manager of the puc speaking of a grid pilot program to have all the lights in san francisco on a grid when a light burns out so we can move efficiently and effe

direction, what are the appropriate tools for funding, what are the appropriate places to look at, you know, in our neighborhoods and where should we start. i mean how -- there's so many questions we could ask to put together a comprehensive report that would allow us the proprait direction on how we move forward but i do think it is important to take this first step in the right direction towards developing, you know, just a basic plan of action and then if there are things that we believe should be added or should be expanded upon at a later date we should do that. i do agree with member s of the public who feel that we should look at things that already exist and add those appropriately so towards -- if they are useful, if the data is useful, using that data to somehow help us get to a comprehensive plan but i don't think this road map is going to be sufficient for what we are proposing to do and so i definitely think there will be additional steps in the future, especially, and i appreciate the article that commissioner crews has provided us with because ultimately, yes, we want ou

right and making sure we have the right levers in place as the lovely appropriate level of street lighting so, of course, situations where it is already built i've got folks contacting i once we know there recent a need we put it on the list and look for other city projects happening in the area one of the biggest expenses so far putting in street lighting is the trenching associated with that and so we try to piggy back on other projects that are planned in the area not only to leverage the work and keep the costs down but the inconvenience among the businesses and residents together with that and looking for the sweat spot for the funding as a priority as you can see on the slide safety is a concern work is flaw in that area in a year we can include it in our capital plan and do the engineering work and have the project funded the 10 year 23 or $24 million level for the next two years includes projects like that that we know that improvements are needed and including them in the planning be in the 10 year capital plan we have ongoing funding to do assessments and to perform improvements

is that proper, is that appropriate? or should some special person do that so that you could engender the trust of a community? no violence under any circumstance is warranted is appropriate. no burnt-down buildings is ever appropriate. but there's a pent-up frustration. if you're going to do what prosecutors normally do and match it up against what was done which is different, that's where the community is distrustful. last thing, that is, you think about forensic evidence, we could say, well, the forensics match this testimony. but if you don't have expert witnesses or people to cross-examine or give an alternate view like we do at trial, you put on your expert, i'm going to put on two other experts to refute you. did it happen here? no. it leads to the mistrust. that's why the issue is the process. >> it's a big information dump. and if you are as steeped in this case as we are, i highly recommend that you get yourself online and start reading through it. my two cents is, i was shocked at the corroborative witnesses t

. >> so appropriate approximately $8.73 to tell us to the refers in 2013-2014 and conditional loan for a project on van ness avenue. >> same house, same call? this ordinance is passed on the first reading. >> item 13. >> so cloout execute a land acquisition agreement with good well sf for the property on mission street the anticipated cost is $337 million. >> same house, same call? this ordinance is passed on the first reading. >> item 14 is an ordinance to authorize the municipal transportation for security services provisions that require the payment of prevailing wage by the subcontractors and contractors for security services and same house, same call? this item passes. >> item 15. >> resolution to authorize the director of public works for the construction management with jacobs for the general hospital increasing the contract from $16.4 million to approximately $29 million. >> same house, same call? this ordinance is passed on is the rest i submit first reading. >> so authorize the proposed lease for the human resources on third street in the basis year of $373,000 and estimated

doing that in an appropriation is difficult to do because you can't, and there was is e talk of this, it difficult to do perhaps through but there are rse ways where you can get restrictions on the funding, or on the program itself. through cannot do it the normal process, that is to be worked out. >> the omnibus spending measure. he says congress must fight this executive order to have a nail through legislative means and will enact real change- argument from chairman rogers and some lawmakers is is a separate debate, for a legislative debate with that should be tied with his appropriation bill. it is true that it is difficult to do this through the regular process, there is this reality that if the government were to shut down because there no deal by the 11th, ssome still be going on one goes to president obama's immigration action. because when they apply for immigration status, they would be funding this program. even that get a little complicated and it really is a stion to see how would go about this, and the more persistent lawmakers. >> the so-called tax expenditure. there is
