supervisor campos: thank you. next speaker please. >> i would like to address the report we just heard. i noticed the report basically talks about fact we are getting all of this revenue from all of these different areas and supposedly we are seeing an increase in the quality of our public transportation system. all of these organizations have been grouped into one organization and it sucks all the finances of -- out of all of these previously separate organizations and it disappears into a black hole and then we have nothing to show for it. my response to the report is you can basically jump up here and say what you want because you have taken the public for such a ride over the past few years that we don't know what you are doing with our money. that has become so blatantly apparent that it has come to my attention and many people in this city, where is the money going? who is responsible? who is reporting it? i see a huge black hole in finances and all of these different projects and you have certain areas that

supervisor campos: anything else? >> i understand there were some comments made about how you looked at over votes or how many ballots being cast. i did get an e-mail about some of the concerns. i did look through all of those. they are not needed for this report. it got away from what i was tasked to do it for the report. i was tasked to look at a very analytical point. why are people voting the way they are voting? that gets away from a statistical analysis. i did not include that information for that reason. i feel that we addressed what we could given the parameters the commission gave me. i have not had a chance to look at what was presented for the final point. it is always something we could do as a supplemental later on. supervisor campos: in terms of the point that mr. fried was making and you were talking about jurisdictions where they have elections that are tied to statewide offices do you have any response to that? >> new york city, for example, has september elections and even years and odd years. the el

supervisor avalos, aye, supervisor campos, campos, aye, supervisor chiu, aye. >> it passes, supervisor kim, do you have a second amendment? >> please god, no. >> okay, no further discussion, supervisor campos? >> i don't know if supervisor kim was going to make another amendment but i have an amendment that i would like to make, have a motion and i would ask the city attorney if he could point me in the right direction in terms of the page where the delegation of authority language is, but i would move that we strike from the ordinance the language that reads as follows, the commission may delegate to the executive sdrekt tor -- >> what page are you on? >> i believe it's page 12 or 13 of the -- >> john gib n*er, deputy city attorney, of the amendment as a whole, that was circulated by supervisor alagi, it's on page 13, lines 2 and 3. >> so, it would be on page 13, lines 2 and 3, strike and delete from the ordinance the language that reads, the commission may delegate to the executive director any of its duties it deems appropriate. so, i move that we strike that language from the ordin

supervisor campos: thank you very much. based on our own independent research, we also found out the lessons being transferred is up 47 license as opposed to a 48. before we do that, but there are many members of the public here. can you for purposes of the benefits of people watching were here, what is the difference between a 47 license in 48? >> 47 is a license to sell beer, wine, and distilled spirits. miners are allowed, and generally there are restaurants where minors are allowed. 48 is a bar and miners are not allowed. ors are not allowed. supervisor campos: to me, that is a significant difference. one of the things i am bothered by it, unless i missed it, i do not see anything in the documents provided to us by the police department or any other agency that points to the fact that we may be talking about a 47 license. so my question is, how thoroughly was this matter investigated if we're coming here before the committee, and it turns out that we may be talking about a 47 licensed and that it was presented to the bo

supervisor campos: thank you very much. please call item number two. >> item two, approval of the lafco minutes from the june 15, 2012 special meeting. supervisor campos: colleagues, we have before us the minutes of the june 15, 2012 meeting. i like to open it up to any member of the public who would like to speak on this item. seeing none, public comment is closed. if we could please take a motion. motion by commissioner schmeltzer. second by commissioner olague de. we can take that without objection. madam clerk, please call item three. >> item 3, community choice aggregation activities report. status update on cleanpowersf program. and a status update on proceedings at the california public utilities commission. supervisor campos: i will turn it over to michael campbell of the san francisco public utilities commission, as well as jason fried from lafco. >> hello. michael candidate, director of cleanpowersf at the sfpuc. i have a short update. hopefully a sweet update. in terms of where we stand, as you know, we have been

supervisor campos: future agenda items? >> i wanted to make a quick note that we normally meet on the fourth friday of the month. next month, we will be taking a recess. we will be meeting again in september. supervisor campos: by that time, there will have been action. >> that would be my absolute hope, yes. supervisor campos: any member of the public wish to speak on this? >> item #7 is adjournment. supervisor campos: the meeting is a we wish everybody a happy friday and a good weekend. meeting adjourned. >> i love teaching. it is such an exhilarating experience when people began to feel their own creativity. >> this really is a place where all people can come and take a class and fill part of the community. this is very enriching as an artist. a lot of folks take these classes and take their digital imagery and turn it into negatives. >> there are not many black and white darkrooms available anymore. that is a really big draw. >> this is a signature piece. this is the bill largest darkroom in the u.s.. >> there are a lot

supervisor campos: ok.ne of the things that i know a iym8)-"tqi páhp possibility is'y in five, 10 years, -- let's take five years as an example. the board of supervisors would like to look at how this is working. is there a mechanism by which the that? i do notdq++ know that there's something here that allows the board to do that, but is there something that would preclude the board looking into, you know, how this is going? >> i do nothing -- there is nothing in the charter that would preclude an analysis of the impacts of the package of measures or the funding stream, with the ramifications of this effort has been. obviously, the things that are in the charter and prescriptive in the charter, it would take an amendment to the charter to overturn. it is structureda|ñ firmly in te charter language itself. but, obviously, analysis is something we would be doing as a matter of course, and the board of supervisors would be able to as well. supervisor campos: thank you very much. i just want to note, in terms o

supervisor campos: future agenda items? >> i wanted to make a quick note that we normally meet on the fourth friday of the month. next month, we will be taking a recess. we will be meeting again in september. supervisor campos: by that time, there will have been action. >> that would be my absolute hope, yes. supervisor campos: any member of the public wish to speak on this? >> item #7 is adjournment. supervisor campos: the meeting is a we wish everybody a happy friday and a good weekend. meeting adjourned. >> cents and cisco's buses and trains serve many writers -- san francisco buses and trains serve many riders. the need to be sure they can get off at their intended stop. the digital voice announcement system, which announces upcoming stops, can help these low vision riders know where they are, but only if set properly. >> it is a wonderful piece of technology, but in practice, it is a little bit more tricky. oftentimes, i find that the automatic announcement system is turned off or turned down so low that i'm unable to

supervisor campos. >> co-chair campos: so i have a couple of other names.and again, in retrospect, maybe we should have made a committee of 25. i don't know. but i certainly would add to the list kaushik roy of shanti. i would add that name. and also michelle alcedo. >> chair kim: two more names, i think we're actually getting close to 15 and i have to count. but i'd like to add into the consideration scott hits you cana. we don't necessarily appointed this many people at a time. usually we do staggered terms but because this is a creation of a new task force that makes it a little more challenging. >> i think i have 15. >> chair kim: yeah. so we do have 15 applicants before us, currently. and i'm comfortable with this group. i think it represents a diversity in the lgbt community. it looks like it can be a consensus motion moving forward. i do want to say, and i'm sure my colleagues would like to speak as well. i think this is an incredibly hard choice and part of the consideration is not just your experience but also the diversity that you will add to the

supervisor campos. >> co-chair campos: thank you, commissioner, for your willingness to continue to serve and for the work that you've already done. i will be very happy to support your reappointment. i did -- i had a couple of questions that i'm going to ask each one of the nominees because i think it's important for us to continue to have these discussions. again, i'm happy that you're being reappointed. one of the issues that's come up, during the discussion of the prop "f" campaign, and questions that are on hetch hetchy, is the issue of water recycling. and we know that san francisco, the puc, has led this effort, has done a great job in terms of water conservation. but clearly more needs to be done so that we are recycling our water. i'm wondering if you can comment on that issue, and your willingness and commitment to work with puc, going forward with our new general manager, who is here in the audience. thank you, mr. kelly, for being here. i'm wondering if you can comment on that. >> certainly. i'll be happy to. we're all very aware of that. and conservation is very important, re

supervisor campos. >> co-chair campos: thank you. thank you very much, commissioner. and i think that there are a couple of your friends in the room, not that many. i don't know. but, you know, you mentioned mike -- and i have the pleasure of serving with director they h, and i have -- i really think it's critical to have that labor voice and perspective on an agency like the public utilities commission in san francisco. i think it's really critical that that voice be represented. so just going back to a couple of things that i mentioned. i think you talked about some of the issues that supervisor kim raised but in terms of cca making sure -- if you could talk about your commitment to make sure that we implement it in the most effective and expedited way possible, and a fiscally responsible way, and also on the issue of water recycling, and then the interconnection agreement. >> thank you, supervisor campos. on cca, it is the will of the people. and it is years and years and years of heavy lifting, of -- i don't think that the lifting has been completed yet. but i'm c

campos: thank you very much, mr. president. i'm a little bit as a loss, for finding the right words to just express my appreciation and respect for you, ed. i actually started working with ed when i was general counsel attorney for the school district. and whenever the school district had some issue that required some financial expertise, the person that we always turned to was ed harrington. and the fact is that that's the kind of precedence you've been in city government. you know, to make a sports analogy is sort of you're the michael jordan of san francisco city government. and i guess like michael jordan you're retiring at the top of your game. but i especially want to say, you know, that not only the knowledge, not only the expertise, but also the humanity and the way in which you interact with people, which i think -- that's always very respectful and recognizes the dignity of every human being. you know, my mom was a janitor, and i always, you know, say, you can tell a lot about a person by how they treat jan

supervisor campos, aye. there are 10 ayes and one no. >> president chiu: this ordinance is passed on the first reading. colleagues, why don't we take up items 16 and 17, having to do with the proposed clean power sf program. madam clerk. >> clerk calvillo: item 15 i is... >> president chiu: 16 and 17. >> clerk calvillo: item 16 is an ordinance amending the administrative code to -- the customer fund and reserve fund and appropriating 19.5 million of hetch hetchy bal to support the clean power aggregation program and placing 6 million appropriated for clean power sf sustainability services on budget and finance committee reserve pending detailed appropriation plans. mr. president, you wanted me to read item 17 as well? >> president chiu: yes please. >> clerk calvillo: item 17 resolution authorizing public utilities commission to launch clean power sf program approving local sustainability program for customers and authorizing general manager of the public utilities for a term of up to five years for services

. >> president chiu: supervisor campos. >> supervisor campos: thank you. i want to first of all thank all my colleagues for all their comments today. it has been, i think for me, as a member of this board, great to see the level of the -- the substantive level of discussion here, and the fact is that we, as a body, could have differences of opinion but i think that whatever happens here has been enriched by the substance of the discussion. and with respect to the amendments, i want to associate myself with the comment that supervisor cohen, who i think put it extremely well. i appreciate the intent of the first two of the amendments that were presented by supervisor chu and farrell with respect to pages 5 and 16, but i will be voting against those two amendments for the reasons that mr. harrington outlined, out of deference to him, and in their estimation their ability to make sure that this program is successful, i will respectfully oppose the first two of the amendments introduced by my colleagues. and with respect to the third amendment, which deals wit

supervisor campos. >> supervisor campos: thank you, madam clerk. i wasn't planning on saying anything today, but after watching the exchange in question time today, i think it's only appropriate for us to say -- for me to say something about that. i appreciate the question from supervisor carmen chu, but i don't know that i'm the only one who feels this way about question time. but my own personal view is that question time is no longer working. i don't know that it ever really worked. i think that it's too scripted. and from my perspective, the intent of question time when it was first brought forward and first talked about was to engage in a meaningful discussion between the board of supervisors and the mayor. and i think that the way that it's currently structured in my view, i don't think that that meaningful discussion is really taking place. so i'm certainly interested in pursuing and exploring different ways in which we can modify question time to make sure that it is more interactive and not as scripted as it's become. so i certainly will b

supervisor campos. >> supervisor campos: thank you very much, mr. president. you know, we had a prior item where i actually voted against a motion to continue because i really felt that it was important, that if we were talking about a continuance that there be a discussion with the main proponent of the legislation. i haven't had a conversation with supervisor wiener about a continuance so i will respectfully ask my colleagues to vote against the motion to continue. the reality is this. i understand the arguments that have been made. i respect the position that supervisor farrell has articulated. i do think that he has legitimate concerns about the opt-out program. but the bottom line is that we, as a body, the city and county of san francisco board of supervisors, do not have power to change the fact that this is an opt-out program. it is state law. it is state law. and at the end of the day, you can try to add as much as you can, and we have seen language here that really maximizes our ability to make sure that a meaningful choice is given to people. but at

supervisor -- i'm sorry, supervisor campos. >> co-chair campos: thank you. i'm happy to make a motion to approve the mayor's reappointments of commissioner caen for seat no. 3, commissioner vietor for seat no. 1, and commissioner courtney for seat no. 5. i'm happy to make the motion. very proud to do that. i just wanted to make a couple of points. first of all i'm disappointed that ms. courtney couldn't bring out more people to speak on his behalf. but i guess this will do for today. you know, i think that the word here is continuity, and i really believe that the work that has been done by the public utilities commission has been exemplary. and i think it was supervisor wiener who said this to me at some point, which i think is really true, which is that the puc has demonstrated how government can work. and when you look at the massive projects that they have taken on, whether it's the water improvement system, or talking about billions of dollars, it's an agency that has, you know, perform better, that not only most government agencies but most private com

campos: i won't repeat the points made. i want to first thank my colleagues who will be voting for this today. i want to thank you for your support, for your thoughtfulness and for how you are willing to take us down a historic path i also want to talk to colleagues who have raised concerns who will not be supporting this program. i want to say to my colleagues that i understand your concerns and that even though you will not be voting for this today, i do want to work with each one of you to make sure that the concerns that you have raised, to the extent that we possibly can, that we address those concerns. and so i want to thank my colleagues for that. and the last thing, mr. harrington, i think this is a good way of ending what has been a pretty incredible tenure here at the city and county of san francisco, and i am just very honored to be a part of it. >> president chiu: supervisor chu. >> supervisor chu: i want to thank supervisor campos for your comments and look forward to working with you on strengthening notificat

. >> president chiu: supervisor campos. >> supervisor campos: thank you. i know the items before us involve a master lease, and a cooperative agreement. but i do think it's important in the context of the siting whether or not to support those items to have a better sense of the safety issues that have been raised. i think -- i know that there's going to be a public hearing on this, which i think is a great idea. and i want to thank supervisor kim, supervisor avalos, for sponsoring that. what worries me about this is the fact that, as you said, you know, there is no guarantee that that in fact there is no contamination that could create a health hazard. i mean i think your presentation is a carefully drafted document that, you know, leaves open the very possibility that there could be health implications here. isn't that correct? >> that's correct, recognizing there's these additional investigations that cdph is still going to be conducting. i don't want to be me mature. and i believe in, you know, never say never. >> supervisor campos: and that's the ques

supervisor campos. >> co-chair campos: i wasn't reading my note but i want to thank hillary ronan from my office who has been working on this for quite a long time and has made it possible for us to get to this point. thank you, hillary, for your excellent work. >> chair kim: i'm glad to see we have a diverse community who can reach out to a number of different communities where we have often seen wage theft occur but i'm very appreciative that we have employers and small business owners that can represent, as well. i'm so grateful that we have these small business owners that are super conscious of these issues and willing to serve in this capacity. thank you. seeing no other comments in the board we have a motion and a second. we can do that without opposition. thank you. madam clerk, please call item 2. >> linda wong: item 2, motion approval/rejection -- to the public utilities commission for unexpired portion of a term ending august 1, 2016. >> chair kim: thank you. i believe ms. caen is in the audience. we know this is a reappointment. thank you so much for your 15 years of servic

supervisor campos. sorry, supervisor ferl. >> thank you, chair chu and all the people that came out to speak. mr. harrington, one more question i wanted to address and i forget to talk about before. thanks again for your hard work and more respect for how much time you spent on this and the constraints you have been under. to me it is a bit of a blue elephant. green elephant maybe that we haven't talked about. that is with pg&e and their disclose sewer they will do similar green energy, 100% green energy program i believe next year. and, you know, i think they haven't come out with rates yet but at least what i have read, i would be interested in your opinion, that it will be cheaper than clean power sf program. as we talk about some of the issues, it is not going to be a liability on our books, no job losses. it will be opt in. from my perspective is a big deal. how do you think about that? from my perspective, why would we -- i appreciate you guys and a number of your staff have worked on it a long ti

. >> supervisor campos: thank you. i want to thank supervisor kim and her office, who are working on this when it was district 6, before it became district 8. and, you know, sarah palin could see russia from alaska and i can see the roxie from district 9. so in some respects, you know, it's all part of the same neighborhood. so i'm supportive of this, and happy to be involved in any effort to ensure that we help the roxie. so thank you. >> president chiu: thank you. >> actually i want to say thank you to supervisor wiener and his staff because as supervisor wiener noted we are working on the issue around the special use district and trying to make sure that we come to a result that makes sense for all the folks involved. and look forward to good result on that front. thank you. >> president chiu: supervisor mar. >> supervisor mar: thank you. i love the roxie as well but i wanted to remind my colleagues that we have two incredible independent theaters, the balboa theater and the four star, as supervisor olague mentioned

supervisor campos, aye. >> there are 11 ayes. >> president chiu: those resolutions are adopted and ordinances passed on the first reading. next item. >> clerk calvillo: item 11 is an ordinance amending the police code to modify and eliminate other certain requirements for secondhand and antique dealers setting the permit application fee at $200. >> president chiu: supervisor wiener. >> supervisor wiener: colleagues i have a typographical correction that i need to correct by way of amendment. i provided those to the clerk. i don't know if they've been distributed yet to the board, but they are purely typographical. >> president chiu: mr. clerk, have they been circulated? >> supervisor wiener: my apologies. it's one coming up shortly. please disregard my statement. >> president chiu: colleagues, with regards to item no. 11, could we do this same house, same call? without objection this ordinance is finally passed. item 12. >> clerk calvillo: item 12, ordinance amending the administrative code to authorize the

supervisor campos. >> supervisor campos: thank you, madam clerk. colleagues, i have a couple of items. on behalf of board of education commissioner kim tree -- board of education, board of supervisors committee, i am requesting a hearing that deals with the memorandum of understanding between the san francisco unified school district and the san francisco police department. the second item that i have is a resolution welcoming to the city and county

supervisor campos. >> supervisor campos: thank you, madam clerk. colleagues, i have a couple of items. on behalf of board of education commissioner kim tree -- board of education, board of supervisors committee, i am requesting a hearing that deals with the memorandum of understanding between the san francisco unified school district and the san francisco police department. the second item that i have is a resolution welcoming to the city and county of san francisco the gay and lesbian medical association which will be here for its 30th annual conference. i want to thank supervisors ween wiener and olague for their support. it was founded in 1981 for the purpose of using medical expertise, public policy work, and other things, to ensure a quality in healthcare for lgbt individuals. this association is actually the world's largest scientific organization that will be meeting with a focus on lgbt health. so we're very happy that they will be here in san francisco from september 19 through the 23rd. the third item is an ordinance that amends valencia

i just want to give supervisor campos a moment to speak on this item. >> co-chair campos: thank you, colleagues. normally -- i don't know exactly what happened with alli cuentos. you want someone to be here, but i am pretty confident about the quality of this appointment. i think this individual will represent the district well. and i would ask that we move this forward. >> chair kim: okay. so before we make that motion, i'm going to open up -- do you mind -- can someone close the door. thank you. open up this item for public comment. are there any members of the public that would like to speak on item no. 5? childcare planning. ms. jackson. >> i don't know if i'm looking -- is this dealing with the successor agency? >> chair kim: no. this is the childcare planning and advisory council. this is supervisor campos. >> i don't have my glasses and i can't see with them on anyway. >> chair kim: thank you. is there any other public comment? seeing none, public comment is closed. supervisor campos made a motion to move his appointee out with recommendation. my only question was i didn't rea
