>> yes, supervisor mar. >> i see the economic benefits page really highly focuses on the economic benefit of $1 million a year for the city for the installation of these poles. i guess i'm worrying a little bit about opening a flood gate for the use of public resources for private purposes by telecom companies and i know we have had a number of, when antennas are proposed on top of churches or hospitals or even residential and commercial buildings there's often an outcry for people feeling different for different reasons or feeling out of character with the neighborhood and not necessary and desirable as well. i see this as a potential opening for telecom companies to bypass this process and go forward with one that has less protections for naipbds to be able to have a say so i'm worrying a little bit about the flood gate effect of this. you said there's 16,800 poles in the city that the puc is responsible for. i'm just wondering how this particular 70 might be expanded in the future. could you talk about what other companies besides verizon might do with this type of technology? >> yes, we certainly have noticed the comm

a pencil off to the landowner i asked for that last item i guess i have a question what's the benefit to the city i want to see that there's a cost above but the city didn't talk about the benefit i was there twice the traffic issues are ridiculous so we're putting a massive development it took me 35 minutes to do one block in my car eventually to get to the car i took muni and thought how do people around with the additional developments i'm a bit worried about i agree with commissioner moore you have a 40 acre island how does this sdrbtd segregate with the selma plan. >> thank you. >> commissioner hillis. >> thank you for your presentation i want to picking i didn't back on some of the comments like the tunnel or whatever the bridge cross the street it's great we're experiencing the street and alley infrastructure but i agree wherever you introduce or continue on with the you know buildings bloef above it it never feels the same no matter how high and that's a design concern i like the general design direction the building to feel look at bulky especially the office building in the residential

i think we have to look at what the cost to the city is and if the benefits outweigh the costs napbld this -- and in this case if we don't have strong agreement i'm not likely to support it. another question to the deputy city attorney, if we do not agree with this, you know, amendment to the agreement with the pga can we ask that it come back to us and have a better -- can we negotiate in, amend in, a threshold that's lower for the percentage of revenue that the rec and park can get from hosting the tour? >> deputy city attorney john gifford. the board can't require that amendment. you can reject this contract, reject the resolution, you can continue it and if rec and park wants to renegotiate and come back -- but if you don't feel comfortable with the contract that's before you those are your two options. >> okay, thank you. no further questions. >> i'm going to turn to supervisor mar in a second, but mr. rose can i ask you a few questions, because i appreciate this conversation. i want to frame this however because there was conversation around the america's cup versus this. we are

and federal and local funds, all of the programs outlined in the proposition k, plan, generate the benefits city wide and the major capitol projects are all moving forward including a rebuild, or a rebuild of the parkway and the subway extension to china town, and the transbay transit center and cal train electrickfiation as well as the bus and networks and looking around the city and in my own district, i can see evidence of a transportation evidence work of agencies and the community, from the ongoing improvements and new generations of vehicles at the balboa park bart station, and the plan studies and the capital improvements that emerge from them. we also celebrate, 25 years of community safety and safe routes to transit and kaoul and significant problem kay support of any transit program. and i know that our executive director has some special come menive activities, planned. and the colleagues on the board in the coming months to review the many accomplishments of the transportation authority. we will highlight the tradition of accountability and transparency and community, involvement her

was brought up to us in a per pdr district, i think we see beneficial reuse opportunities as benefiting the city at-large and the city could coordinate with the owner agency to make that happen obviously through community en[tkpwa-euplts/] and engagement with the policymakers. so we're not leaving aside everything that isn't housing, but at same time we want to be clear that sour focus and our driving energy towards how we pull together projects under this program. i want to move on to the review rite raw for sites. i think the housing working group that the mayor convene had had a lot of interesting ideas about how other cities have limited levels of success addressed this moderate income sector. one model that has been demonstrated in some cases and in particular in new york city a model that looks to create a mix of incomes all of low, moderate and market rate. and using the market rate to basically cross-subsidize the other below market rate units. obviously and new york city demonstrated that you need other the tools coming out of process would be really prime tested on the level of control

the city. there's no benefit to the city. next speaker, please. i would just break my heart to see this h be broken up with a 15 foot sidewalk for one house. i believe that it's a code word for driveway. i don't trust the terminology of it. i attended all the meetings mr. brand held to work out something with the neighbors. they were all designed to get us to approve his driveway. there was never an effort to work on any other kind of a compromise and it's been interesting to me having lived there for so long in the neighborhood to see how our whole neighborhood has come together in an ad hoc because of interest in preserving this land and it's been a very -- if there's any positive the positive is that as we've banded together as a group just other this issue, which we hadn't before so i really urge you not to allow this. i mean, and my question is, how long will this continue on? >> thank you, your time is up. >> okay. >> ma'am, i have a question. >> yes. >> have the neighbors made any effort to get this land vacated and therefore create it as a

great commission and great staff to see one of the great staff leaving the organization is a tremendous loss but benefit to the cityne of the things we wanted to do we feel so passionate about our work we feel we wanted to be like you so that's why everyone on the senior team has a bow tie they're that's our signature mark, in fact, it's a requirement whoever replaces you have a bow tie i want to bestow on you, the highest ward i congressional o on this gave two one to my mom but i want to present you with this award it talks about the things in the resolution but it talks about the pride we have and the leadership you've given us in the times we needed financial stability and although a loss you're in the controller's office our new best friend i appreciate working with you it's been a great joy thank you very much (clapping). >> but you can go back and - or you can stay i wanted to say a couple of words as well i came other than the commission right around when todd become the puc it was not an easy thing to understand the many moving parts that make up the san francisco public utilities commission and i wanted t

ferguson mayor james nolan says ex-police officer darren wilson will not get servance or other benefits. the city is making several changes in response to the killing of unarmed teenager michael brown. he hopes the community can begin healing. >>> it is sunday night, and time for our regular look at "the week ahead." 'tis the season for shopping and giving. last year charities took in just over $335 billion, that's up 4.5% from 2012. in all that help certainly needed. last year there were 49 million americans living in households without food security. tonight we look closer at charitable giving in the holiday season. we begin with this report. >> reporter: black friday got its name because most retailers finally get out of the red and turn a profit. while malls and stores swell with holiday shoppers, it's not just the season to shop. to many it's the season to give. now the tuesday after black friday and cyber monday has also been given a new fame fame, #givestuesday was started several years ago to set aside a date to inspire people to make a difference. the salvation army is in its 125th year

we're getting getting is in the dna what the value of up zoning is and the value of the city is getting all the public benefits what's the status and when will we laser that those get complicated we're not following the up zoning pretty massively or i imagine this is going to be a discussion. >> good afternoon kevin with the office of economic workforce development we're unifying do agree we have to grapple this is a unique project it doesn't fit into existing zoning we look at the value in terms of the city and number of the types of benefits we assume and think that folks want don't fit into standard zoning sow we've been anticipating with the zoning agreement that fits with the project they trail the physical project it takes longer to get even though environmental duplicate than the negotiated agreement and we need to have a level of certainty about the physical project before we negotiate the community benefits so we are going to do that over the next few months and expect to be back in front of you before the approval with an update of the benefits with the agreement and the gentleman's comments how much

put back into community benefits civic benefits could they propose to meet the thirty percent of the profits only 25 percent essentially they proposes to make the city benefit trooe fee that the 23 he million dollars no, that's will apply to all other central selma projects to meet the public facility needs but not this project do they propose to allow the space for nonprofits no, they proposes to keep the one hundred and 37 millions for themselves oneself you know how we feel like that i've got to turn that detain don't approve that-had a of that windfall should be returned to civic benefits and that's enough to have the building space and pay the communicated benefit fee. >> thank you. next speaker. good afternoon, commissioners i'm luis in the last few months we've seen the efforts of 5 m to engage the community and they have had workshops and discussions i have attended some in the beginning even the 5 w of the intersection for the arts and the design they had you know invited all of the components of the jobs to small businesses and the affordability in the area south of market i'd like to see have more of this discussion because of you know th

the way the same way we have on a number of issues we take the example of the domestic partner benefits owners we were the first city to require that those who contract with the city provide the same rights to the same sex couples it led to san francisco providing the benefits and others the fact we have a responsibility not only to protect our workers bus because of the history of san francisco leading the way on civil rights issue it impacts what happens to the rest of the state and country much has been said about the impact on small businesses and nonprofits on the commission of the status of women at the board of supervisors that issue has been raised there has been the complaint that requiring the reporting of this information is two bumping to comply but without knowing the requirements it is the fact we've got work to be done by a advisory committee to make sure that we minimize the impact on the small businesses but i want to note a couple of points first i don't believe that reporting requirements is that onerous new mexico has implemented a program for the state for 4 years in that state the entire state

the river. another benefit for all the cities is that a massive underground aquafir will get to fill up with rainwater. >> this is equivalent to crystal springs, so it was about 20 billion-gallons of water. >> the largest city gets about 45% of its water from ground water wells and the rest. >> we can't always rely on that. >> pat says the deal is effect, a savings account for the peninsula. >> when we are short of water in dry years or during an emergency, we have something banked. >> 16 wells will need to be drilled to tap that aqua fir, beginning in january. and water officials told us the customers shouldn't notice much difference in taste or much difference in the water bills once this plan is underway. frank, julie. >> always save it when you can. david, thank you. >>> the rainy weather is making more of a mess in marin county. the cleanup that is underway in one town after both flooding and a mud slide. >> plus, we will show you how the san jose sharks are spreading good cheer and what they are doing to help those in need. >>> back now with a live look at the rain hitting the bay area and you c

there's a lot of people i know of the folks who study the misdemeanor system who does amazing research on this would say yeah this is a net benefit for the city it's a net benefit for particularly poor people and people of color in this city because that's a system that's unjust and unfair. but then there's this also idea of wonderful city here. a shame if something happens to it. the idea of doing it as a means of extracting the political price would stretch me as a dirty pool to say the least. >> it's a lousy moment to do it. this year you were more likely to be struck by lightning then run over by a car or murdered in new york. that's insane. this is a dangerous moment for the police to say hey, we're going to back off and good luck to all of you. a few really bad things will happen in the course of that. and, at the same time the city despite the post's best efforts, is not going to descend into utter cay yosz. not any time soon. i think the police yun i don't believe believe unions are badly over playing their hand. he doesn't have a republican op zigsz, but he does have op zigsz. we're seeing it in the new york post and the police union

darren wilson did not get a severance check from the city when he made his departure from the police force here. it looks like her income and health benefits are the only mechanism to pay for the baby that's on the way. darren wilson did or fundraising did produce upwards of $200,000 for darren wilson. but from that $200,000 he had to buy a new house and he has got to pay for legal fees beyond what the fraternal order of police will pay. now, according to his attorney, the threat that finalized his decision to resign from the force were recent. darren wilson wrote in that resignation letter that he wanted to with policing but he didn't want to put other police officers or civilians at risk. now, in another development, governor jay nixon appointed that ferguson commission with 16 members on the panel. they held their first public meeting today. that meeting progressed from unfocused to a full fledged meltdown when they got to the public comment period. complete with profanity and accusations that this panel, despite being the first meeting, wasn't getting anything done. the overall goal of this panel is to produce recommendations to be sub

they have been working with us and the city on the communities benefits district that is intended to help cover a portion of the operation maintenance park costs for city park. the original agreement was for one year. the formation of the cbd has essentially been held up by the ongoing discussion related to the cfd. it's the same group of major property owners that have to vote, and so now that the cfd is moving forward and will be considered for final approval in january by the board of supervisors we're hoping -- we're planning for the process to move again in earnest in the spring but it required an extension of the contract. >> thank you for all the work that's been happening. i know it's been a challenging past couple of months with some uncertainty and the cbd and the mello roos district is important for the neighborhood. i am curious -- obviously there is no firm timeline but what the thinking around that would be around the cbd process? when we expect this to come before the voters and the board for final approval? either mr. bolay or mc cue. >> the timeline for the petitionin

gorbachev, let us work to bring the eastern and western parts of the city closer together so that all the inhabitants of all berlin can enjoy the benefits that come with life in one of the great cities of the world. to open berlin still further to all europe, east and west, let us find ways of making commercial air service to berlin more convenient, more comfortable and more economic. we look to the day when west berlin can become one of the chief aviation hubs in all central europe. with our french and british partners, the united states is prepared to help bring international meetings to berlin. it would be only fitting for berlin to serve as the site of united nations meetings or world conferences on human rights and arms control, or other issues that call for international cooperati cooperation. there is no better way to establish hope for the future than to enlighten young minds. and we would be honored to sponsor summer youth exchanges, culture events, and other programs for young berliners from the east. our french and british friends, i'm certain, will do the same. and it is my hope that an authority can be found at east berlin
