if there is a vlade calculation, then the department of ecology needs to explain that. that is a pretty high bar to suggest that we are going to have complete diversion by 2020 or between 2017 and 2020. that is a pretty high bar so that if in fact we are asking for a service that commits to the policy that was talked about by mayor museum and many of us supported, that is something we should stand by. that is going to cost. that is going to cost san francisco cans. if you want to have a prouked that is less relined on fossil fuel and he lies more on renewable energy, that is going to cost. there is a price tag for that policy. if we are saying we don't want that 77% diversion rate right now or move towards the 100% diversion in the next several years, then what we can do is did he fray from that cost -- defray from that cost and move from the policies that we earlier committed to. i have to tell you i think this concludes the discussion, at least for this time period, well right now. it makes sense to me to continue this to the call of the chair. supervisor campos: than

it is a very detailed program we have put together to do the calculation. it is not subjective. >> i don't see anything in there for training. for training staff or learning the new code, building inspectors -- >> this is the current year. the current year, you would not be able to see how much we spent on that because it is rolled up into non-personal services in the details. we can provide you a further level of detail if you let us -- >> i would like to see that and i would like to find out if the department is going to bring a trainer here or if you are going to send people out. i had a discussion with some of the commissioners and we think it would be better if you brought a trainer and late rather than sending people to various parts of the state's and all that other stuff. you might want to take that into consideration. >> this last year, we have done both -- there is training going on this week and we do things close by. >> i know there is training going on in san louis obispo and they're not coming back in the evening. >> the training going on in s

that's tonight's good question: gq: "how are dmv registration fees calculated?"from: mike at this year's e-3 gaming convention in los angeles, the company introduced a new version of its "wii". the "wii u". it incorporates a tablet-like game controller. nintendo says it will provide live interaction with other players in 3-d games, video calling, and even web browsing access. "."it looks like a big tablet. it's got analog control pads, it sort of looks like an ipad and it works with the home console as well. you can use it like a second tv screen.".." the "wii u" is compatible with existing "wii" accessories. nintendo has not said what it will cost, or whether it will replace or supplement the current version of the "wii". it's due in stores next year. can the giants stage another late inning comeback?? i'm dod.. and the mavericks try to even up their series with miami..tip off is next warriors new coach mark the bay area -- a place with natural beauty and a forward thinking spirit. at bank of america, we've been fueling economic growth here for over a century. t

even with that final calculation under the planning code, under section 317, it is within the 50%. commissioner peterson: thank you. commissioner hwang: on the demolition question which was raised by the appellant, how do you respond to the argument that the collapsed roof has, in effect, created further, in effect, i mean, the argument as i understand it is that extended -- it made more of the property characterized as demolished or demolition, and then, i would assume, exceed the 50%. >> no. first of all, the roof is -- when the roof collapsed, somehow, the wall that was slated to remain has collapsed, but the fact is that wall is still there. it has been propped up, so it is there. it has not collapsed. and, in fact -- commissioner hwang: but it will be gone, right? the wall has lost its structural integrity? >> no, the wall has not lost its structural integrity, because sometimes when you open up a wall, some have dry rot, in what they do is they put a new -- and what they do is put in a new 2 x 4, and that is pretty much standard in the industry. a diaphragm to keep the two ex

it would not factor into our parking calculations. it has no function for the use itself, and you have to draw the line somewhere, and if it is the space that is not routinely used or that appears to be used by someone else common-law -- something else, i do not believe you should include that. >> thank you. >> anything? we will move into public comment. anyone interested in speaking on this item? if you can line up on the side of the room, i would appreciate it. >> can i see a show of hands of how many people wish to speak on this matter. i am going to say two minutes. goo>> i support the appeal. i am not going to address the formula retail issues. i have explained why, and it appears the board is degrees. i am going to address the square footage issue. -- it appears the board agrees. i am going to address the square footage issue. it is extremely misleading and conflict with a prior set of plans submitted in march, so for this to not be the exit corridor it was previously believed to be is really outrageous, and there is no question

how have these estimates been calculated? and how has the annual budget been used to make a difference in their everyday life. these properties represent the percentage of the board. this is perpetual and that the current board those for the future board members. we see this with the decision making and the resource use. i would ask for you to instruct fell more to do the following. taking the opportunity to hold the election which allows all property owners to vote on the full commission, giving the board members a greater chance to affect this. they should hold property owner meetings, to discuss the methodology of calculating the subsidies, and how they have been different in the past. the transparency must be inclusive. >> thank you very much. is there anyone else would like to speak on this item? please come forward. >> i am the owner of the business in the fillmore district and i would like to talk about how i have benefited as a new merchant, because i will be open for two years come july 1. why first came to this area

a lot will depend on how -- our calculations indicate the server 10 years. a lot will depend on how our investments do. we've always said employee contributions would be the major part and for a lot of current sacrifices are reflected. >> 35% -- it never gets to 35%. [unintelligible] mayor lee: it is a safety net. we have made the calculations just in case. >> [unintelligible] mayor lee: the very first year this takes effect, we anticipate $60 million in year 2013. in addition to that, all the new hires will begin contributing in a different way beginning january of next year. that is the savings. there is no smoothing in this process, because there is no smoothing in the economics of what we are facing. so we did not consider that a dog. >> the 10-year plan will not get going before a couple of years. mayor lee: we do have labor contracts in place right now that we have to honor. we currently have a lot of obligations that we have to honor with current retirees. so we did not touch that the legal obligation. so we had to start making significant changes as

but we did not have anything to do with that calculation. supervisor mirkarimi: that is the controller. i'm just trying to understand because it is derived from partial savings or lack of savings based on what those costs are verses what of the other bookend, what are costs may be through the drought program. maybe you and/or the comptroller could speak to the probationary time -- that is not itemize year. -- that is not itemized here. >> let me show you where the 55,000 comes from. if you treat every year served by a drop officer as a deferred cost to the police department, looking at the aggregate cost of running the academies and the training of officers, these are the numbers -- premium pay, uniform and the quebec cost, background investigations, and the health benefit savings because there is a time during which some of these health benefit costs are very expensive. after they retire and before they are eligible for medicare. the savings are pretty significant. this is an aggregate number, about $55,000 per year. >> it says cost delayed

even calculating in numbers of. it seems crazy now but it used to require a lot of intelligence to remember things and to compute the first computers were humans. it wasn't really until the 20th century there is such a thing as a decent mechanic calculating machine. now, because computers do these things so well we don't have to remember anything on certainly don't have to calculate arithmetic. we have machines and ipods for these purposes. psychologically think what we do is downgrade the value of those skills and think calculating is and intelligent. [laughter] you have a machine for that. we could relearn if we wanted to. i am pretty sure. memory becomes a improve force. yes, you can train memory and people go around competing to prove they can do that but it is a parlor trick because day to day life, that skill is not required of us is the more. we have so much help before we had computers, we had rating and notebooks but now computers help us remember absolutely everything. added dinner party to have an argumen

we need to agree on a new way to calculate workload. we all want to make sure special ed teachers do not have an unbearable workload. we need new ways to calculate that. that will help us greatly. it is going to take time for people to begin to use a different paradigm in how they think about laying out the services for children. but that will really help us in potentially freeing up staff to be used more flexibly. at the same time, as we do professional development, staff will build their capacity to provide services. the work we are doing around improving instruction overall and the core curriculum is really going to help. the other recommendation in the audit report around implementing tier systems of intervention around academics and behavior will help. as we know as we look at that, that is called rti, focusing on the court, a solid frame and foundation of instruction. that is ultimately going to help all kids be successful. that will help us rely less heavily on paraprofessionals and help us integrate the services into our classro

even calculating numbers. it seems crazy now, but it used to require a lot of intelligence to remember things and to compute the first computers were humans. it wasn't until the 20th century there was a decent mechanical calculating machine. well, now because computers do these things so well we don't have to remember anything and we certainly don't have to calculate our arithmetic. we've got machines in our pockets for these purposes and psychologically i think what we do is downgrade the value of the skills we think well calculating, that's not intelligent because you've got a machine for that. >> host: we can relearn if we want to, you and i, i am pretty sure, memory becomes a kind of brutal force sort of thing. this curious, you can train memory and people go around competing they can do that but it's a little bit parlor trick because in day-to-day life that skill is not required of us any more. we have so much help before we get computers we have writing and notebooks but now computers help us remember ev

one thing you can't calculate you write about the army of northern virginia. maybe it's just me or whatever, how to calculate the fighting spirit of these men? you can't measure it. but it's there. there was something about the confederate infantry and others would write about it and he would say later i knew they would be good soldiers we just need organization. others would say they were different. they have this land and spirit that just you look at what they do in this part of time and you say where is it? comes from within. on the other hand, and fairly by history as we look at the army of the potomac. but they were not commanded by long street and jackson the recommended by mcclelland and a few other lesser lights and things like that, it's also leadership. but that day, july feared, as the confederate infantry in the greater land and leave must have believed they could do it because they always had when they step out of there in the fridge he went into the lead and i told you about the division, those are the fellows that stood up and shot at fredericks

we think, well, calculating. that is not intelligent. >> that's not going to do it. >> you have a machine for that. >> right. >> we could relearn if we wanted to, i'm pretty sure. memory becomes a kind of brute force, so to speak. yes. we have been training memory, and people go around competing to prove that they can do that, but it is a little bit of a parlor trick because in day-to-day life that skill is not required of us any more. we have so much help. before we had computers we had, you know, writing in notebooks. now computers help us remember absolutely everything. you're at a dinner party having an argument with a bunch of friends about who is the star of such and such a movie. it's only a matter of seconds before somebody is going to go to the keyboard and get the absolute truth answer according to go. >> right. >> and so what happens is the bar is moved, and many to look to other skills that only humans can do if, writing poetry, composing music. it used to be playing chess. not anymore. until this spr

it comes from a calculation on lee's part. if you look at june 1862, the confederacy had a terrible winter. you have nashville was captured. you have the battle of shiloh where the confederacy lost. and you have new orleans captured. excuse me, the union army of the potomac was within a handful of mouse of richmond. the attitude in the north was if you recall, they shut down the recruiting offices. they thought the war was going to be over shortly. there was every reason to believe that it may be over very shortly. so the winter of 62 was a winter where the confederacy essentially fought in the defensive, and the union army had swallowed up vast stretches of land and the largest city in the confederacy had been captured in new orleans. lee saw that only chance they had against an opponent whose material might and manpower may not be unlimited but it was certainly unlimited compared to the confederacy. and he felt he had to take the war to them. you had to assume the offensive. you had to take risks because if you don't take ri

how was that calculated? if the hospital did provide the full three-one housing, they would need by planning department calculations to grow about 1.4 million square feet of housing. factoring in a typical 8% efficiency factor, which pulls out mechanical and hallways, that would be 1100 units of 1000 square feet each. if any developer wished to pay the annual fee for those units, they would though 20% of those units, or 220 units. if you multiply 220 units by the feet o, it results in $74 million. the second portion of the request response to the displacement of 20 sar units and five rent-controlled -- thank you, sorry about that. and five rent-controlled apartments by the construction of the cathedral hill office building. the city's administrative code says the developer must pay 80% of the replacement cost of those units. the city's real-estate department work with the mayor's office of housing and determined this amounts for the 20 units, $2.7 million. for the rent-controlled units, the five units, staff

>> the current coverage on this lot which is closest to the street -- we have not calculated it. it is close to 100%, with the exception of an area in between the two houses where the parking space was about 20 years ago. president goh: the way it is configured now, it appears the smaller, 264 mullen avenue, could not be developed at all because it would be considered non-conforming. go ahead and finish your rebuttal. >> this lot, you could still develop up. on this lot, it is a one-story building. develop further to the rear, you could certainly add stories to it. as far as the question about nonconformity, adding those additional stories would not be increasing the degree of nonconformity. you are allowed to go up within the height limit. >> thank you. >> thank you. review of the subject project against the requirements for h-1 and the special use project. the requirements require that once you calculate the maximum permitted building, you have to deduct up to 650 square feet of usable floor area to produce the overall mass that is allowed. that can take place vertically as wel

the second part is how we take that outcome, how we take those calculations. my understanding of the appellant's second choice preference is that this return to the planning commission for a discretionary review, presumably on some aspect, which she argues is the demolition, but to get there, we have to again apply the planning code, section 317, to the current situation. while i have not seen the plans or been to the site myself, in light of the recent rout collapsed and based on what the appellant has indicated -- the recent rise collapse, and based on what the appellant has indicated -- the recent roof collapse, it could be unsound. a planning review is not needed. even if that is not the case, and, again, it has been since the onset of section 317, the subject matter of the planning committee is not clear to me, given that the project is, as i understand it, the same now as it has been throughout the process. so, commissioners, just to sum that up, we have already reviewed the proposal with respect to the demolition criteria. we found it not to be a demoli

of street footage dedicated to that and the square footage of all the signs together so we would calculate -- basically draw a box around the letter and the square footage. we don't regulate the content of the signs and general advertising signs, and when it comes to us a lot of them put it up like that. >> are the miller litte and corona signs in your view? >> they are allowed 1/3 or 25 square feet and advertising on the business sign and wheneve wr and can contain the seven up on there. >> is there a difference between an awing that is used with lettering on it and a general advertising sign for a specific business location? >> we consider general advertising sign the advertisement of a good, service that is not available on the premises or is only -- you know, more of incidental presence on the premise, so we consider anything general advertising meeting that definition. >> with a particular business with an awing lettering or identifying signs on the awing is calculated into the same calculation as determine whether they are using their allowable advertising for that location? >> right

y calcule usted como se pueden acomodar más de 200 camiones en un camión, autoridades lograron descubrirlosan tratados de manera inhumana, veamos . habían para avanzado un largo trecho cuando fueron identificados por la policía en los límites de chiapas, tabasco y veracruz, algunos salieron hace días de sus países de origen, iban con hambre y deshidratado. >>> son 213 algunos hindúes, de guatemala, honduras el salvador. >>> en la parte trasera de un trailer cuyo chofer y copiloto fueron detenido también detectaron una mujer y un menor

when i questioned it, actually, those results haven't been calculated yet. so thank you. >> commissioneree? -- commissioner yee? commissioner yee: i just want to make sure what we're discussing. can you read the amendment? i mean, we didn't add any more language? can you read commissioner norton's amendment? >> ok. if the commission on teacher credentialing or other appropriate state agency or law provides future guidance to allow one jrotc instructor to teach a course that offers p.e. credit without a p.e. credential or two otherwise allow jrotc to satisfy the requirement, they shall don't the guidance and allow it if feasible. >> so if we just leave that alone, we'll be fine. because an independent study in both -- whether it's my amendment or whether it will be written in there, it says "the necessary certifications." so if it changes then the necessary certificate changes. so i think we're ok with that. yeah. >> ok. so we have a second on the amendment which is the amendment to commissioner yee's amendment. >> no, it's another amendment. >> right. calm d

employers we did a survey of passenger shuttles and had a 50% response rate, which was fantastic, calculating the benefits with these original operations in public testimony. these shuttles provided significant citywide regional benefit in terms of emissions reduction. we found that over 50% of

i did calculations myself, twice, and i found out the space is over 4000 square feet. we did a public record sunshine request and we found -- we did not know about this until we got a brief, and i just wanted to show you one of the emails. basically they want it to change this space. bu>> thank you. next speaker, please? >> yet, commissioners, joe donohue. listening to him, it was like regurgitating all the issues from last hearing. listening to him is beating a dead horse. those issues were discussed, but they still keep bringing them up. the second thing, when you look at this whole case, this is an outrageous case. we're going to take this case to the board of supervisors to show the board of supervisors the manipulation and the military tactics of the zoning administrator with the chief building inspector on an unprecedented case to measure a building. the measurements came back that they were within 4000 square feet. now you are hearing that somehow or other a door is a corridor and that's based somewhere or other belongs to the bank. his words were they were mani

it comes from our recent calculation.f you look at june 1862 the confederacy had a terrible winter. henry donaldson surrendered. you have natural captured. you have the battle of shiloh will give better sue lost, and you have enormous captured. excuse me, the year army up atomic. the attitude in the north, they set down the recruiting offices. there is every reason to believe it may be our very charlie. the winter of 62 was a winter with the confederacy of on the defensive. the union army sought defense all that massive stretches of land. we saw that the only chance they had against an opponent his material might and manpower may not be unlimited but it was certainly a limited compared to the confederacy. he felt he had to take the word to them. you had to assume the offensive. you had to take risks because if you don't take risks you are impossibly for a slow death. you had to prevent that we calculated that the only thing the confederacy needed to do, if you will, was be audacious and bold. some have argued that lee was

recruit and onetime cost is calculated but actually at the end of the probationary time? you see a considerable amount of drop-off. that might be more fair number potentially. >> i do not believe that is the case. for a fair side-by-side comparison, we need to evaluate retaining and older officer at retaining him for 12 months to the alternate, which is that officer retiring at having to incur the cost of a new recruit for 12 months which would be comparable to the 12-month officer plus the onetime costs associated with bringing the person on board and trading. >> -- supervisor mirkarimi: let me give you the logic applied -- knowing that academy class is are becoming less routine for us to fund, the theory was we save on the front end by not having to invest in academy class is in the training, apprenticing of those new recruits because of voiding all of the training or everything you have here, background investigations, which was expensive -- i have gone through this so i understand. going through everything up through graduation would seem like that makes a sensible so

thank you to the people who calculated all of it. [laughter] thank you, micki. mayor lee: very comprehensive. we began with people asking, why should we sacrifice? what do we get for ourselves? and that great leap, i think, started very early to "what can we do to help to make sure our pension is solvent?" that is the changing role that labor has made. i was pretty excited from the beginning where we were making a lot of proposals. where we started having union representatives make their proposals, then we knew we were on our road to ultimately thinking together how we could solve this problem. again, i want to attribute, really, where the cost of this matter lies. and that is with our labor unions and labour representatives working together with us to build consensus so we all sacrifice to make our system work better. with that, i would like to introduce rebecca ryan. [applause] >> thank you so much. i want to acknowledge my colleagues standing beside me and behind me. i think it is important to understand what a difficult process consensus is. it is always pre

this is under the way you calculate compliance with the water conservation act. that does not mean we will not do additional conservation but san francisco is really out there in terms of party complying with low water use. 85.6 gallons, sometimes you hear other numbers turn around like 51 gallons per capita which is residential water use in the san francisco. the gross number is calculating all of the water used in san franciscoslashthe number of residents. you will hear the key numbers. -- dues to san francisco -- used in san francisco divided by the number of residents. first, we are in the process of working to secure additional supplies to meet the shortfall due to the flow requirements that are required for the calaveras dam project. we were reporting progress on this back in march and this is where we are losing about 7.4 million per day. the second project is santa clara and san jose. they don't have to have a supply guarantee. that is something that they are very anxious to achieve. we need to have water that can make that guarantee. resolving the additi
