maybe we can preview some of the models that you're suggesting commissioner avalos, and see if there is a general agreement that that's the type of approach you would like to see, and then we can go back working with our consultant to develop a more targeted focused program given that feedback. thank you. >> thank you very much. commissioner olague. >> yes. i will confirm you probably be partnering with community based organizationos this. who are some of them, just curious? >> i rely on the external affairs folks for that, but we reached out to your offices and asked for input. we reached out to the mayor's office on neighborhood services. we have a list of community organizations that the puc worked with his historically. >> we will assist however we can obviously. >> jason has made presentations -- i want to say -- >> lafco and puc staff over two years now gone to over a hundred community groups for presentations and street fairs. it's not as recent. we are kicking back up into that and why you have the fliers and that is temporary and it wasn't representing what was current and w

supervisor avalos. >> thank you, madam clerk. colleagues, i don't have any items for introduction, but a couple comments i wanted to make. one is that on my personal facebook page there is a call out for questions for question time, questions to ask the mayor for next week. we have questions that are due 12:00 noon tomorrow and i'm actually doing something a little different, trying to call out to the public, people in my district and beyond my district for people who want to actually submit questions to me to submit to the mayor. the one thing i think i can do in terms of trying to make question time a little more exciting, because the way we have it set upright now it's a little bit constrained. so, hopefully we'll have, you know, some fun questions come up for next week and that's on my facebook page which people might be able to access fairly easily. the other thing is i don't have an item for introduction on there, but i want to indicate that i want to work with colleagues on the issue of how our current economic boom is aff

commissioner avalos. >> thank you, chair campos. just a couple comments and perhaps suggestions as well. i think it's really important as we're looking forward to finalizing the transportation plan we look at equity in san francisco and look at communities and neighborhoods in san francisco that heretofore have not received really a fair share of funds for infrastructure, for transit and other form of transportation as well. i live in a district that is clearly beset by a real lack of funding. balboa park station is a place that needs enormous investment just to make it functional. and it's really not, although people use it every day, thousands of people. i'm looking at the map on page 4. it has the areas of expected growth and new housing units. 1800 planned around balboa park. i would expect that's not just in that little box area that's there, but surrounding area. in the past 10 years in district 11 we have had 6,000 new residents come in. so, there's growth that's happening. that isn't measured here in what we're projecting fo

we have a motion by commissioner avalos and second by commissioner schmeltzer. if we could take that without objection. madam clerk will you please call item three. >> item three is reports and update on cleanpower sf and update on the california puv, suggestions for items to be discussed at the last meeting. >> our executive officer nancy miller. >> yes nancy miller through the chairs. we have waiting for sf puc staff. >> shall we come back to this item? >> why don't we do that and see if anyone shows up. >> commissioner schmeltzer. >> i believe maises hale will be in shortly. >> if there is no objection let's move to item four. >> item four is studies on the voting process and for local offices in the city and county of san francisco. >> thank you. if we could now any mr. fried for a report. >> sure. jason fried and we asked some changes made to the report. they sat down with myself and chair campos so they were invited to what they felt were suggestive edits to the report that they felt needed to make the report better. that report is in your packet and you c

>> wiener aye. >> supervisor avalos? >> aye. >> avalos aye. >> supervisor campos? >> aye. >> campos aye. >> president chiu? >> chiu aye. >> supervisor chu? >> chu aye. >> supervisor [kho*-erpb/]? >> cohen aye. >> there are ten eyes. motion approved. why don't we go to our 3:30 special order and i understand supervisor olague has a special commendation. >> in working with a lot of the tenants in the public housing and coop, some of the federally and publicly funded housing, i have found that the many times that the people who really hold things up there for the community are the women. so whether that is miss holings at plaza east or adrian or miss jones in west side court, so i wanted to honor and recognize all of the work that miss jones was committed to when she was a resident at west side courts where she was, i believe for over 15 years. so it's my pleasure to give commendation to elizabeth jones the former president of the tenants association since 2007. miss jones is a great advocate for residents and the west side courts development. she served on tenants as

supervisor avalos? >> thank you, chair chu, just a question, currently that space is pretty unoccupied, it's pretty bare there, the second floor of the -- >> i'm asking whether any of the program related folks want to speak to that, my understanding is it is robustly used right now. >> good morning, supervisors, craig with the department of public health, so the facility in question, 555-575 polk street, one building, two floors, the one floor is used for court operations, the second is operated by the department of public health, the office of the city attorney, the office of the public defender, as well as as a different dph program of the violence intervention program. >> thank you, the last time i was up there, all those departments were involved in that space, but it wasn't clear that there was a staffing there on a daily basis, so you're saying there is staffing there on a daily basis? >> that is correct. >> throughout the day? >> throughout the day. >> so, we're looking at now new uses as well, t

commissioner avalos. >> yeah. -- thank you chair campos.e talked about the opt in process and what we have envisioned for that i think that is a good discussion for the next hearing we can do between lafco and the puc. >> yes i think the lafco clerk and the puc secretary will work with chairs to establish the agenda for that meeting. we can bring the concepts forward at that time if we're successful for getting a quorum of the date ms. miller mentioned -- we probably won't have the fully flushed out program because we're just getting the contractor on board but we can use that day to describe our intentionos that education and notification program. okay. >> and i am wondering if there is a way -- i'm not sure what the time lines we're looking at for opt in versus opt out. i think it makes a lot of sense for those to have a opt in for those that want to and those that want it earlier you could have their testimony for the outreach. that could go towards the information people get to opt in or not or stay in and have those testimonies availab

vice chair avalos. >> thank you. just a couple questions related to the outreach efforts. we talk about opt out but not necessarily opt in that we had in the side conversation. i think it's a great opportunity. i think using us for the opt in process and i think both in opt in and opt out social media is going to be really helpful and i know we have used social media in relation to cleanpower sf but it hasn't been robust and i think there are ways of making it very useful and i think those are strategies that we can employ. >> thank you. we would be very open to spending a little time with our communication folks and yourselves and/or the staff to mind the good ideas you have to reach out to your communities. i refer to as reenrollment and the opt in concept and people can raise their hand "i'm interested" and let us know so that we include them in the first phrase of the roll out. >>i think the joint meeting would be great and especially on the subject of opting in and have discussion on that as well. >> yes. great. thank you. >> if i could just add because i think the su

john avalos fue uno de los cuatro supervisores que lo salvo de perder su puesto defiinitivament e.ohn avalos/voto en contra de destituirlo se sabe que usted ha sido aliado politico de mirkarimi por muchos anos, fue por su amistad que voto en contra de que lo destituyeran? por mi amistad, no, fue parte de como leo la ley. avalos defendio su voto diciendo, que mirkarimi incurrio en mala conducta pero solo a nivel personal, y no oficial. hizo mala conducta personal con su familia, pero no desde su oficina, no era mala conducta de su oficina, entonces no fue mala conducta de un publico oficial. el alcalde que buscaba la destitucion de mirkarimi demostro su profundo descontento ante estos argumentos. ed lee/alcalde de san francisco creo que buscaron una excusa, para un acto inexcusable, confirmado por las cortes criminales. el alcalde queria destituir a mirkarimi por mala conducta oficial despues de que este se declaro culpable de un delito menor de violencia domestica, en el que le dejo un brazo amoratado a su esposa, eliana lopez. aunque la decision anoche de la junta, cierra un capit
