supervisor campos: thank you. call item number two. >> item two, election of the chair person and vice-chair% for 2012. supervisor campos: colleagues, i do not know if you want to take action on this today or wait until the next meeting. supervisor avalos: i was ready to take action, but if we feel like we need more members, that is critical. if not, i am willing to renominate supervisor campos says the chair of lafco. i think your works beats -- where it speaks for itself could you have done a great job steering as the past year, looking add cca as well as the waste contracts in san francisco. i think your leadership has shown in many ways, and i would like to nominate you. supervisor campos: thank you, supervisor. commissioners? >> i would like to nominate supervisor of the los for the vice-chair -- supervisor avalos four vice-chair. supervisor avalos: thank you. supervisor campos: we have nominations for a chair and vice-chair. let me add to the vice-chair, i have worked with commissioner avalos in his capacity

commissioner campos: thank you. is there any other member of the public would like to speak on this item? seeing none, public comment is closed. the one thing i like to say, and i would welcome the comments -- i do think that in moving forward, you do have to strike the right balance in making sure you do it in a timely way, but that we are also thoughtful and strategic about how we do this. for the benefit of my colleagues on the commission, one thing that i do plan to do and we will be doing shortly is to set up a meeting with the mayor to talk about community choice aggregation. i do think that it is important for us to make sure that he has all the information about the program that we are proposing, and no program is perfect, but i do have concerns about some of the comments that have been made. my hope and expectation is that once the information is laid out and once we outline not only the specifics of the program, but also the process by which we got here, that's the mayor will see that there is a great deal

commissioner campos: comments? let's open this up to public comment. >> commissioners, let me allude a little bit to what i think a good care and by chair should stand for -- chair and the vice chair stooshould stand for. from time to time, i attend these meetings. from what i have seen over a long period of time from the vice chair, he may mean well by putting forward legislation, ever since the six -- in section, but he seems to target the most vulnerable. whether it is the homeless, the lgbt community, youth in the open space. area. any human being can make a change. that is why i am speaking to this point. because of the dire economic situation that san francisco is in, even though we have 60 billionaires', we have a lot of poor people that take public transportation. this commission has to have a benchmark. and let it not be a cozy relationship where you come together to make policies or frame legislation. as the chair alluded to, he wants to make some practical changes, he wants to go to ground zero and see t

campos. aye. pimentel. aye. supervisor campos: i want to stake my colleagues for their nomination and for their confidence. i think it has been a very exciting year for the local agency formation commission. the year has maybe been more exciting in 2012, and i look forward to continuing the work with the members of this commission, and i know that we will be gaining another member on the commission soon. my understanding is that supervisor olague is interested in serving on the lafco, and i look forward to welcoming her when that appointment is finalized. the last thing that i will say is to simply think the public utilities commission and the advocate community for all the work that has been done on this important issue. it really has been a team effort, and i think that the fact that we have made it this far is only because of that collaborative approach, and that will continue. ultimately, that will ensure the success of community choice aggregation and any other endeavor that lafco undertakes. with that, mad

commissioner campos: thank you. please call item two. >> item 2. 31, 2012 and february 7, 2012 meetings. this is an action item. commissioner campos: is there anyone from the public that would like to comment on this item? seeing none, public comment is closed. this is an action item. we have a motion by commissioner carmen chu and seconded by john i. avalos. can the tip of without objection? please call item three. >> chair's report. this is an information item. commissioner campos: i want to make a brief report. first of all, thank you for the opportunity to serve as the chair of the transportation authority. it has been a very busy first month and wanted to report on a number of things. first of all, we have some issues that come out -- came up in terms of the funding of the second phase for the presidio parkway. we just had a meeting with the mayor to discuss that. as you may be aware, that project will be delivered through a public-private partnership. we are very excited to see that move forward. as you know,

commissioner campos: unless there is objection, i think that direction is given. why don't we open up to public comment? any member of the public who would like to speak on item 5, if you could please come forward. i know that a number of these items, that the issue of cca will be coming at some point before the board. >> once again, eric brooks, san francisco green party and our city. just to quickly touch on the things you have touched on -- one, in reverse order, i think we do need a joint meeting in early spring, actually, because some action will come to the puc in spring. i would totally agree that we need to support the five-year concept on the revolving door issue. as a personal consumer, if you go down in my basement and look at the meter, you can see that the only one that is not a smart meters is mine, and i'm about to, because of the cpuc, get charge hundreds of dollars a year, and it cannot possibly cost pg&e that much money. we definitely need a better representation and better controls over

chairperson campos: thank you. i know a number of members of the public are here to speak on this item. i look forward to their comments. if you can please come up, you each have three minutes. >> good afternoon, commissioners. i appreciate the opportunity to give a little more information. i was with the san francisco voting task force. we spent a couple of years studying voting systems in particular. that report -- i think it is still available on the web. certainly, paper copies are available somewhere. that would give you a great overview of voting systems in general. we also discussed in that report ranked choice voting. there are a couple of high- level things. the most important thing to consider here is transparency. that is to get as many allies on the system, and the things that calculate the votes, as is possible. this is missing entirely with proprietary-owned vendor operating software systems. essentially, software is proprietary in protected by all manner of rights and secrecy, so nobody gets eyes on

commissioner campos: thank you. before we go to staff, i wanted to -- i do not know of staff has any comments or anything to add. >> more than happy to study whatever parts or aspects of elections are going on. i think this is something initially we could definitely do internally with staff, but one of the things -- i did do some preliminary looking, but the one thing that i think would be needed is the department of elections over the last few years has -- at least with what they have available on their website -- has changed how they report numbers, so it might be useful to see if they have the old files and we could do a comparison. in some cases, they have under voting and over voting mixed together, and in some cases, they have them separated. if there's a way to determine with previous elections, if they still have the numbers behind them, to put an together. commissioner campos: to the extent that there is very specialized expertise that may be needed, i would trust that you would come back to us and let us k

supervisor campos: colleagues, any other comments? let me say that commissioner kim has been very kind in her questions and comments. i am still much sure that we have gotten an answer to the questions that have been raised. but it is really interesting that the issue of the bicycle conjunction was raised. it does not preclude community meetings. the injunction was lifted -- lifted in june of 2010, one-and- a-half years ago. i do have one question for staff, though. i understand that this action was driven by folks in the neighborhood, around second street. have you informed of the community that you are in fact planning to reallocate these funds for other projects? and if so, when did you inform them? >> i have been in conversations with the south beach spurring conservation mission beach neighborhood. they have been aware of our desire to find money planning and wanting to meet with the community. i spoke to the supervisor's office in november. but we have not been able to hold that meeting. we were notified by the transportation au

chairperson campos: thank you. i know a number of members of the public are here to speak on this item. i look forward to their comments. if you can please come up, you each have three minutes. >> good afternoon, commissioners. i appreciate the opportunity to give a little more information. i was with the san francisco voting task force. we spent a couple of years studying voting systems in particular. that report -- i think it is still available on the web. certainly, paper copies are available somewhere. that would give you a great overview of voting systems in general. we also discussed in that report ranked choice voting. there are a couple of high- level things. the

commissioner campos: ms. miller? >> i think what we will do is keep it on the agenda for our next meeting so that our newest commissioner, we can talk a little bit about if there is any additional point of interest or subject matter. then we can talk about timing. we will have a better idea then, i think, about timing, for some of these issues, particularly the voting worked -- voting were--voting work. commissioner campos: as we come back to the idea of setting goals and agendas, the staff to think about the timing of when these agendas could be taken up. maybe you have some suggestions for us in terms of how to plan out, you know, the different things that come up, including the issue of fiber, which i think is actually a very good one. commissioner, anything else? if it is ok, can we have a motion to continue this item to the call of the chair? i will make sure that we put it on the next agenda. we have a motion by commissioner avalos, seconded by commissioner pimentel. we will take that without objection. please

supervisor campos: thank you. we will open up for public comment. -- supervisor kim:. -- supervisor campos: thank you. we will open up for public comment. it seemed that redistricting the important effort we're going through my result in -- might result in members are candidates running for seats that get reconfigured. they might either not be in the district at pearl -- after april 15 or the district contours' may be different. they may choose not to run or others may choose to run. it may change to some extent the landscape and it seems to me that delaying certification until after our work is completed was a common-sense approach to this sort of thing. i would urge you to support and enact this ordinance. i would also note in the future when there is legislation like this that has to go to the ethics commission, there was an item in the legislative digest that indicated the ethics commission had adopted or approved or recommended the proposed a legislation. it would be good to have a separate letter in the file

supervisor campos: i think it is possible to do that.though we have these great districtwide elections, i think district election still allow you to deal with larger issues. we feel that we certainly have demonstrated that as a board. individual supervisors have demonstrated that. one of the pieces of legislation we worked on last year that we are very proud of is the health services master plan, which is legislation that for the first time has a city like san francisco thinking about the health needs of the city of seoul. -- cities as all whole. it is good for us to know what the health care needs of the city are going to be in the next couple of years or long term. so, making sure those who do planning and other things, that we think strategically about the need citywide and also neighborhood by neighborhood. and we were able to do that and pass that legislation as a district-elected supervisors, even though this is legislation that impacts the entire city in the future of health care in san francisco for many years to come. i think it

supervisor campos: we have a motion in the second. i want to thank all members of the public who have been waiting for this item, and thank you to commissioner wiener and his staff for making this a priority. can you call item number 10? >> number 10, introduction of new items, information items. supervisor campos: colleagues, do you have new items you like to introduce? is there any member of the public who would like to speak on this item? the seeing none, public comment is closed. please call the next item. >> item 11, public comment. supervisor campos: an opportunity for members of the public to speak on any item that is within the jurisdiction of the commission, but it is not on the agenda today. is there any member of the public like to speak? seeing none, public comment is closed. >> item 12, adjournment. supervisor campos: before we go, i want to thank the members of the sfgtv staff who have been covering the meeting today. thank you for your service. meeting adjourned.

commissioner campos: mr. moskowitz. -- moscovich. >> if you vote on this today, you will be making the decision. that is the problem i have with this. you are given only one chance to vote. the reality is, when an item is displayed and urgent, it is often times are defined projects ready to absorb the money. that is the issue. at least the cesar chavez project could absorber parts of these funds and release other funds. that was a product that was already fully funded. it essentially creates a bit of movement of different kinds of money, and that becomes available to go back into the second street project, but does not account for the full cost of the project, which is also but i mentioned earlier on. if i may, to commissioner kim's concern about making sure this concern about making sure this does not happen again, how we
