some would be using at their individual supply guarantee, and some would be using less than that, so it is really how you deal with those people. we have done a variety of ways to do that. there was the idea of giving everybody what they said they would use, and there were a number of objections to that. they were projections that were used in a different context that we said, gee, since we have them, maybe we can use them. there is some belief that some agencies will look at this differently if they thought they were going to be a basis for this allocation. this is the one number that these there was agreement within and among the agencies. it does have a standing as a guarantee, and so, we have always tried to figure out how to improve that. if you look at the wholesale supply, agreement, it talks about having a transfer process. if there is not enough to go around with in those guarantees during this interim period, there could be transfers among agencies. i think we were trying to assert ourselves in some way in option four and other options to try to make it easier to be more fl

this to allow some flexibility and determine some facilities to be used and repairs to be made. the city costs estimated included poor facility investigations and costs for other city departments, marsha the police department and the mta. this resulted in a total 77.3 million in costs, new costs, and offset by the estimated revenues, primarily sales tax and hotel tax related to hosting the events for a net cost of 57.8 million. we also reviewed the long-term development rights entities have been discussed some what already today so i will quickly say how we approach this. we looked at 3 which would have been transferred to the event authority under the original agreement and they are listed here. the term was that no rent would be paid to the ports. incremental property taxes would be used to reimburse the event authority for an least a portion of the $150 million required expenditures. recent the highest and best uses of the three properties as identified by the real estate consultants. these were the uses as assumed. pier 32 had a mixed use and this would occur after 10 years

any use size over 6,000 square feet would be conditionally permitted. we feel this is a mine another change, most use of that size would already likely require a conditional use authorization. and then next providing that liquor sources be principally permitted on the ground floor in rc district, unless otherwise specified. much of the area in the tenderloin is in north of market special use district which has an outright prohibition on alcohol uses and that would remain in effect for those areas. next, just to clarify, drive-up facilities are not permitted in rc use district. this is not a change. these uses are in the permitted, so we would make sure that

i think the board -- it would be helpful for us to know that. we will be making more cuts and i would like to know how we are deploying it. president kim: roll call, p lease. [roll call vote] >> six ayes. commissioner wynns: thank you. for some of you, this is repetitive. i wanted to, if you remember, discuss some of the smaller contracts just like this during the supplemental educational services under no child left behind, contracts in the administrative law approved resolutions for the same meeting, and was not able to do so. that is something we have referred to the rules committee. we want something on the agenda that will allow us to discuss administratively approved actions on the agenda. i did bring that up with members of staff. we talked a little bit about how we could get information about the process in the budget committee, because we were talking about administratively approved resolutions. i think here in a public arena where more people are listening to this, i want to bring this up again. here is my issue. as i understand this, w

it's being used by homeowners. it's being used by poor people, elderly, homeless. it's being used by gardners. it's being used by a whole myriad of people in our community. so there's nothing obsolete about it. i also want to just add that i have heard that the rec and park commission is considering the installation of a water treatment plant in golden gate park, which sounds like an industrial use to me. maybe i'm confused by that. but there seems to be somewhat of a contradiction here. and finally, i just want to say that poverty is growing in our community and in fact when there are places and times when poor people gather, it's actually easier to outreach to them to help provide services. and hanc is a place where the san francisco homeless outreach team has outreached to the homeless community to help place them in appropriate service. thank you. >> thank you. >> my name is wayne wily. i'm a hanc employee and i would like to oppose closing hanc for the reason that homelessness is not hanc's problem, it's like san francisco problem and not only san francisco bu

use. we would not be looking to article 7. formula retail is a special control that applies if it is in an actual n.c. district or if it is in a special use district like this. commissioner antonini: okay, thank you. i think from what i am hearing, we have sort of bifurcated, from some degree, where we would be voting on whether we were in support of the c.u. for any entertainment uses but we are passing on the zoning but we could take that up next week as part of our discussion that deals with broader areas. that might be ok. my only misgivings are whether the c.u. is too high a bar to pass on this. that might give a little problem. i like the supervisor's idea very much, and mr. barnes, could i ask one more thing? the discussions will continue regardless of our vote as to what type of controls to have? >> absolutely, the supervisor remains committed to the vibrant business community. commissioner antonini: in deference to supporting the supervisor, i will probably vote for this, but i would like to see a look at mandatory d.r

it can be used for the disaster preparedness program and training inspectors to be able to use the new methods of reporting an earthquake and tracking disasters and things like that. it is very specific. >> we budgeted all the money that we needed or we thought we needed in the operating budget. commissioner murphy: every financial statement looks different. this one, the only point i do not understand -- it says expenditure recovery. what does that mean? >> that is the payment that other departments pay us for services that we provide. commissioner murphy: now i understand. >> we build up on a quarterly basis, and we just have not billed that yet. commissioner murphy: any further questions on this item? public comment? >> seeing none, we can go on to -- commissioner murphy: we have won. >> oh, i'm sorry. -- we have one. >> just one question, commissioners. the director, you were saying that every exam that is taken, there is an allocation of funds toward this particular program. there is specific rules about that money being expended and issues to do with impact consequences. presumab

today, should at least be shared with us before january 5. if we can split the difference and have a joint meeting -- we seem to like friday. either on the 14th or 21st, that would be fine. if we can work that out with p c, that would be better. and you are right, we want something substantive to discuss, but we are more concerned and why that has already happened. >> i might also remind commissioner that we already tentatively have five meetings in january scheduled as part of our budget process and regular meetings. two regular meetings and three budget meetings scheduled in january. supervisor mirkarimi: commissioner schmeltzer? supervisor schmeltzer: i wanted to point out that the 20 it would not work. supervisor mirkarimi: we will take a look. thank you. appreciate that. anything else from the executive officer's report? any public comment? seeing none, public comment is closed. we will continue that. quick approval of the minutes of lafco, a motion made by commissioner campos -- >> i need to read the item. item nine. approval of the minu

have had a dream about leasing the land it is time you give us a grand then we could settle down in this city and town i know it is going to be on eddy street you are trying you are trying now i am glad we are going to lease some land. give us a grand and we can settle down in this quiet town give it the best you got i think it is going to be on eddy street you are trying you are trying, budget committee now supervisor avalos: thank you very much. if there are no other members of the public that would like to comment, we will close public comment. move forward without objection. >> >> item 4. resolution authorizing the director of public works to execute an amendment to a professional construction management services agreement for the san francisco general hospital rebuild program from $8,000,000 to $16,400,000. >> good afternoon. my name is ron alameda, project manager for the seventh is good general hospital rebuild program. i have a short power point and some hard copies to hand out, if he would likyou would like. we are seeking the approval to increase the construction management project to $16.4 million. supervisor avalo

about even though it is not for student assignment. >> does it say that this information will not be used for student assignment purposes? it does? >> no one has ever believed us. they will continue not to believe it. >> presumably, that will be taken care of by the transparency when we show them how the program runs and how it has made the decisions. and it doesn't consider those things, that will help. that is a good reason and to make sure that they do it. >> i understand the major monitoring report will be available in january 2012. will there be any data released preliminarily or otherwise about the success or outcomes of the system? the way there will be a question about how things work or how they didn't work. >> we will include that after the fact. >> the other question i wanted to ask was, about the requirements document and the process flows for the new algorithm. are those available now? when did you plan to be able to make those public? >> we will continue building and testing the system. and we will hope to have that information available by february. >commissioner fewer: did

so, but it's the first step for you to get to where you need to get to be able to say, i used to be that. if, if you're telling me that you're in recovery, i'd say that you are trying to get your life together and that you have a serious problem and that you're, you care about becoming a better person. somebody was trying to get into recovery and needed treatment and needed help. do you have a role in their recovery? and if you have a role, what role do you think you would need to play? i've been taught that that the whole family as well as the community plays a role in your recovery, so. i think you really have to love them and help them through it and don't prosecute them and make them think that they're doing something wrong and, and give them support. if the person is open to letting you help them, just really being there to support them, you know, give them that emotional support that they need. i do have a role, i think people whose, you know, seeking for help, they do need support from others because obviously they cannot cope by themselves with the issues they may have. so i gues

it tended to raise the level of thought, processes, and it is being used that almost all of our schools, and the schools we do not have it at, we are getting it as soon as possible. we use that weekly report given to the principals who give it to the teachers about how it is being used and if it is being used with fidelity, and we know this will make a difference. the resulting cycle of inquiry, we analyze, implement, measure, and monitor, and evaluate what we are doing. it is a constant cycle of inquiry using data. we use all that to improve instruction to readers if we do not use its -- to improve instruction. we have measures of academic performance of students developed by the department to measures didn't grow three times a year -- student gross three times a year to see what kind of process they are making. this gets at the point that we do not wait to see if the students have failed, but we have measurements, and it is not an autopsy fiorina -- an autopsy. we do as additional feedback. we walked through all of our schools with the district directors and the assistant superintende

any use size over 6,000 square feet would be conditionally permitted. we feel this is a mine another change, most use of that size would already likely require a conditional use authorization. and then next providing that liquor sources be principally permitted on the ground floor in rc district, unless otherwise specified. much of the area in the tenderloin is in north of market special use district which has an outright prohibition on alcohol uses and that would remain in effect for those areas. next, just to clarify, drive-up facilities are not permitted in rc use district. this is not a change. these uses are in the permitted, so we would make sure that was specified so no doubt about that. if you feel the nc3 uses are appropriate then we would recommend parallel controls for the walk-up facility and treat them in the rv district in the same manner, that would be they would be principally permitted on the ground floor if they were recessed and followed those procedures and then conditionally permitted if they didn't follow the same guidelines as the

use but to grandfather in a whole existing establishment. that is why we have what we have right now. that has loosened up somewhat, but for the time being, they are yet -- utilizing the rent party exemption. and you can continue to represent your clients with all the trouble that the police continue to give when people try to use the party. >> why is this necessary? it is necessary because the patrol officers who don't care about horgan's. this is sort of jumping through the hoop who have something on the ground to keep your christmas party from being shut down. >> it is not a bad practice in regard to having [unintelligible] 10 of the this venue is properly inspected by other departments. >> under our jurisdiction. >> any questions from the commissioners? any public comment or the police department? >> you're going to revise the good neighbor policy. >> that will certainly be implemented. when i was reviewing the application, they were not clear about question no. 16. i want the applicant in his own words to answer the question because if you have a license that allows all ages, it says only for schools. i wanted to clarify that and ex

this has been the major concern raised, that the ones currently being used might be causing rusting on the path of gold historic light fixtures. so, this language would recognize that it is a city landmark and all attachments must be made with fasteners that are reversible and causing no damage pursuant to planning code 1006, temporary modification shall be sent to the commission for certificate of appropriateness. the language worked out with the city attorney would make sure that fasteners and in the future would not be damaging to the polls. i have further discussed with the city attorney that i would further like to make a modification to the language on page 4 saying that the rainbow flag symbolically representing the neighborhood such as the ones adjacent to the neighborhood, adding that starting at church street west of the castro street, again i am trying to recognize concerns that peter lewis brought to me about the identity in the entrance that market street has. beginning them at church street and carrying them through. colleagues, i would appreciate if perhaps these items c

there are differences in what events and what facilities will be used. you have heard much of this already this morning. moving it to the northern waterfront. the properties that are proposed do not require as much repair and improvements to be used. the race timing would be approximately the same. some of the same facilities would be used as in the central waterfront plan, but to a lesser extent and therefore require less in the way of infrastructure improvement. some of the obligations, and as we showed for the original proposal, some of the obligations for both the city and event authority are listed here. what changed -- the big significant change is the movement of the dredging costs, which are estimated at $16 million from the original proposal are shifted to the event authority, and that is in both the agreement that -- the no. waterfront alternative agreement as proposed by the commission, as well as the document you receive this morning. this is a comparison, then, as best we could do last week with the two agreements that we had before us. the

one of the things that we learned as uses deteriorated is public benefit it was being reduced. e used to be sailing and fishing. this is one of the finest urban fisheries in the united states. that was going terrible because of what was happening to the lake. it's about restoring a treasure of district 7 to what it could be and should be. >> what is missing and the obstacle that is missing is the master plan. what should the uses be on the lake. >> i was a part of the committee that hosted out in the park and it was a great tournament. there were report that is it didn't produce the revenue we expected. the only dollars we see is those that pga paid. and it cost us 700 thousand dollars and they only paid half a million.and what we haven't seen and the components of the tournament was influx of sales tax and it was a great money maker. and the pride that so many san franciscoians felt. >> (inaudible) has been a hot issue and we asked them to discuss district 7's housing needs. >> the predominant issue is how we felt our desire to maintain single family character. district 7 is fo

the terminal building would be used as an event center for races scheduled in 2013. although countless details need to be worked out, the authority as i understand it now requires demolition of the entire pier 2 shed and possibly -- pier 27 shed and possibly a portion of the pier 29, although we have received no site plans from the authority at this point. the authority would then contribute approximately $7.5 million to this project primarily for demolition and shore side power modifications. this potential budget solution provides two potential advantages. one, to relieve the port from financing an entire cruise terminal project in consideration for the authority's use for a preprescribed amount of time under a license. and two, to accelerate the design and construction of the core and shell of the building for the cruise terminal. again, there are many important details that need to be worked out in the coming months if the america's cup comes to san francisco. we have lots of concerns, including one to complete a detailed design and implementation plan to integrat

. >> steve, it's like our paychecks are being used as a political chip. >> i'm sew? >> it's like our paychecks are being used as a political chip. >> well, i mean, that's the urgency that obviously the white house felt on this and that's the urgency that i think the democrats will end up voting for this feel, if you get to january 1st and you don't have a deal on this, then the republicans can go out there and say that the democrats blocked your taxes staying at these levels or the democrats could make the same claim about the republicans. the problem that i think the democrats realize they have in this is, you know, when the unemployment rate is as high as it is, the economy as stalled as it is, people really aren't looking for excuses from the governing party. so what the white house sort of

afternoon frys tells us they will do the same which comes to a relief to consumers. >>> they tell us they will be contacting all effected customers and give them instructions how to get those back ordered purchases. generally speaking any time this happens lawyers tell us the store is responsible for the difference between the sale price and actual price. if you have a consumer complaint give us a call. >> thanks. >>> hey, there are dropped calls, and then there is this. a texas man was testing out his new cell phone calling his dad on his new droid 2 phone when suddenly he heard a loud pop the phone exploded next to his ear. >> i didn't feel any pain initially, i pulled the phone down i felt something dripping. i realized it probably was blood. >> he needed some stitches luckily didn't suffer any hearing loss. motorola makes that phone says it has not heard of anything like this happening before. let's hope it doesn't happen again. >> coming up, barbie dangerous for kids. a warning from the fbi. >> plus why happy hour may no longer be totally off limits for women who are pregnant. >> rain shower

we will be looking at other financial strategies. the initial market analysis will tell us how much incubator space will be feasible within the building. then what we are anticipating is that we will be able to attract other tenants, larger tenants, who may be able to contribute to the buildup of the building. chairperson maxwell: you at one point were talking about having the united nations -- >> the global compaq has agreed to be a tenant in the building. they will be one of the early tenants in the building. they have made an agreement to come to san francisco and locate the pacific rim sustainability center. that will be administrative space as well as the conference center they will locate in the building once we have it up and operating. chairperson maxwell: is there anybody else you know of who is a tenant like that? >> not yet. all this initial market analysis is determining who we can attract to the building. chairperson maxwell: all right. thank you. >> good afternoon, supervisors. i am the project manager for the shipyard from the redevelopment agency. you're cor

we used to be going this direction. we know that success on homelessness is not a place, not a definition. it is a direction. we know there is no having made it. we know the challenge continues to grow. we are providing services for people all over this region, the state, and this nation, and i'm proud of that, and we will always keep our doors open to help the most vulnerable and most impoverished, and we know this needs to continue and we need to continue our passion and advocacy, so thank you for everything you have done, and let me just and by recognizing the person i began recognizing because in so many ways -- i wish we had a tape recorder of the conversations angela and i have over the years because sometimes, she did not think i was as engaged as i should have been and she let me have it. other times, she was inspired and would call and make me feel good like maybe we were doing the right thing, and that is exactly what you need. that is called love. in that spirit of love and that spirit that is angela alioto,

next year. >> ok, thank you. >> it's a trap. >> well, i probably would be more in favor -- even though a continuance does not allow us to take supportive action, i think we could say we are supportive of the concepts, but we would rather continue it because there are elements that are confusing. >> i want to be more specific and say i am supportive of the concept of standardization. anymore only supportive of the concept of standardization. everything else will happen at its time, whenever that is. >> correct. >> that is bringing executive park more to the table with a more mature statement where we can really more clearly support how the funds are being used. >> we have no control over the clock on this. >> that is correct. >> certainly here or at the board of supervisors. but i personally feel, inspite of my concerns regarding the overall legislation, that we should support the standardization as the department has put it together. >> so my motion would be a motion to continue with findings that we are supportive of the idea of standardization, and we want to see the supervisor work with all parties concerned to --

us. why are we being so damaged by this process? it seems the only reason they are not taking the whole property is for the current value of money. i am here to encourage you to stop damaging to us. >> are there any other property owners who wish to speak? seeing none at this time, if i can ask if there are any members of the public to oppose any of these resolutions? if you wish to speak, please step up. seeing none at this time, if i can invite the staff for up to 10 minutes of rebuttal. >> thank you. to quickly go through some of the issues, they have mitigated the steps by designing the project in such a way. none of the properties are being used for development of any sort. they are being used for infrastructure on the project. all of the properties before you were identified for acquisition in the environmental impact report, which was adopted in 2004, so since then, the owners have known these properties need to be acquired for the project. 4 howard st., we have been in negotiations for almost four years. we have made our firs
