and change of the way we do flood changing and maybe i'm miss reading the flood change task force but i would argue they ignore that and nothing they recommend took climate change into account. we no, fema, flood map's don't incorporate future risks and some say they don't adequately incorporate flood risks. the story we heard from david on often does but insurance companies are interested in this because they obviously have a financial stake in that and we may see some changes in insurance policies. after katrina, the new orleans levies were built to the exact same standards before. i didn't want to argue about the height but they certainly did not include climate change and one would argue they built them at an ineffective manner to begin with but they did not rebuild with climate change. brad said the colorado river and it's use of,hydrology, and it occurred to me, why are they not addressing climate change. why is the bureau not integrating it into the analysis of the system and i'll come back to an example of that in a moment. we have not yet done in california a systematic asses

my understanding is what is before this commission -- the changes that were amended by the cac was changed to renumbering on page 3. the first statement that a adding a new address or change to an existing street #number -- that has been added on. also, in the second paragraph of the renumbering, the second line says -- or tenant. this added -- who may be affected of the changes have been notified. these are material changes from the previous version that was in front of the commission. >> do we have a process to deal with that, if somebody wants to change in address or needs a new address? do we have a department to deal with that? >> currently, the process has been in place. my understanding is that the additional items are just for clarification, to get the process more clear. this has been the upper function. >> i know that someone came in recently for an address change and nobody had any idea how to go about doing that. it ended up in the director's office. i have no idea where went from there. >> commissioner, we had one employee, a longtime employee, and she did all of the address c

in terms of how this is going to change, what will be guiding the change. on december 14, the board is going to take action on a new transportation -- to outline several different goals, and the objectives as well. and once this is approved we will have enough of a framework to be redesigning this and have something to share with the board and the community in january. the framework that would guide the development will have limited the strategic transportation, to support the choice in school assignments as a tactic for creating a learning environment. this is still a choice and the goal is to create a moratorium of learning. and more choice may be a possibility for all communities. we have to make certain that transportation is available. and these resources for muni or any other modes of transportation. we want to make certain that we are supporting the low income families and giving them voices to participate in these programs. and we also want to make certain that the english learner's have access -- access to the programs to serve the newcomers. we wi

when we look at snow pact changes one of the questions was the different changes. what we typically do is say we expect at least a 25 percent reduction by 2050 some we expect a 50 point acre foot. we will lose 25 percent. some other projections have it losing 40 percent by 2050 which is not far away and there are projections worst than that. typically we have shown the nature of the reduced amount of run off that occurs as a result of run off. we're looking at this differently from a flood perspective, next slide. this may not be obvious but this is the peak day flows so it the highest you experience in the river system in this case the american river in a given year. here's when,folsome damage was built. these are the flows when they did not have the operations for flood management that's how you would study the reservoir. now look since it was built. six of the highe flows recorded have happened since the damage was built. has the corporation changed the criteria, no. we have been aware of this from some time. this is feather river and,orville, was constructed he

it did not change one thing, but it changed the amounts. commissioner norton: they made this mistake on all of them? >> yes. just a mistake. commissioner norton: thank you. president kim: any items for first reading by the board? and the speaker card -- any items to be severed? commissioner wynns? commissioner wynns: yes, i have a couple. my comments will be related to those in k. i am just withdrawing two as a point of example, and then we can talk about the process. president kim: ok. any others? all right. mr. kelly, we will come back to item f. >> ok, and congratulations on your apparent electoral victory. [applause] the one issue is that this is a transfer of funds from uniforms and other things to create a 0.375 fte t-10 paraprofessional, so the question we really have is, does this take a five-hour paraprofessional and raise his or her time to eight hours? a 4-hour to a 7, or is this creating a new position that is only three hours? it is significant, because if it were the latter, then there is a problem because no one is supposed t

so our priorities will be changing as things change brought der. there is an e marking of that money for specific items but we have a responsibility now to report back to the cpuc. supervisor mirkarimi: it makes sense to me as to the question of discretion, competing for their attention, but back to the city and county interest of san francisco, what can pg&e do to improve that communication so that if a repair that we are expecting or anticipate needs to be addressed, that that will actually happen in a way that is timely and effective? >> i can assure you if there is a safety issue identified on the pipeline, it is taking care of immediately. if there were to be a leak, pg&e will immediately take action going about making that repair. we will not wait for anything in terms of public safety activity. in terms of maintenance to the gas transmission system, the gas transmission is already heavily regulated both at the california level and by general order 112e and at the federal level. that dictates how often you do patrols, how often you check for

these are percent changes of flow on,x factors. 10, five, ten, twenty percent changes on flows. those are plausible in colorado. the,y axis is number of years in which we get plugs out of records. 78 years. there are two things to catch from this. one, is first of all, the vulnerability of the relative moderate increase of flow in the colorado. a ten percent increase in flow. changes the number of years with uncontrolled spills, floods, from six out of 78 in the data case to 16 out of 78 years some more than doubles the ten percent increase, more than doubles the years you have uncontrolled spills and different colors, blue is little spills and most are red the big ones. sorry the smaller one. you don't get really big spills undercurrent conditions. but when a 20 percent increase in flow your getting more inflows. the system is sincetive to climate. the second important point here is, this whole project. assessing the risk, assuming we operate the system the same way thomas we operating today, we were told when we proposed the project we could not change the operating rules that

due to climate change we have to anticipate. speaking on your comment about a template, the county council has asked us to develop an annual climate plan the first of which is news today and it maybe delayed by a week or two is what i've heard. what we've done, is put together an intraservice group to identify impact to all the different activities we engage in that range across planning, permitting, regulatory, as well as something like requiring access like purchasing hybrid buses and transportations systems. i think this is an annual report and we're going to be imposing performance measures on ourselves and reporting how much progress we're making, and it will, i think result in dialogue because we'll have to talk to state agencies on the issues chuck talked about, where we're not getting the support or freedom to do what we need to do, but it will also generate discussions in the county and staff that probably at this point, don't see what the impacts are of climate change. for the moment, this is going to go on indefinitel

published a report titled, changing climate, assessing the risk to california. the report looked at 3 scenarios for cutting the amounts of emission that we pump into the atmosphere and depending on whether and how much green house gas emissions can be brought under control, the report projects by the end of the century average temperatures in california will rise between 3 and 10 1/2 degrees centigrade. one of the most publicized impacts of global warming is a predicted increase in sea level. and here's a graph showing sea level rise in san francisco bay. now, i want to note one very important fact about this graph. it does not show predicted sea level rise. it shows how much the level of the bay has risen over the past century. since 1900, the bay waters have risen 7 inches. and we at bcdc have been monitoring this increase for decades and we have been especially concerned because ground elevation, particularly in the south bay, is sinking because of ground water extraction. so even if there's no sea level rise, we expect more flooding as the low-lying areas co

now, the picture on climate change is all too familiar. this is a graph of projected global warming and temperature rise and its effects northwest europe and particularly the uk. it's a very similar picture to the one you have here. it predicts however you account for the uncertainty, a very significant rise in temperature over the next 50 to 100 years. as a result of that average temperature rise of at least 3 degrees centigrade is that we are going to see warmer, weter winters, drier, hotter summers, a sea level rise in excess of 800 millimeters, probably 850 millimeters, in the southeast of england. but hidden underneath that are perhaps more important messages. that temperature rise will lead to much stormier weather so when we get rainfall we're likely to see particularly and interestingly in the summer months much more intense rainfall in the future than we see today and on top of any sea level rise, as will mentioned, increase in storm surges which will exacerbate the sea level rise even more. what we're looking at is what does that

the changes is to clarify information or make minor changes and corrections to the eir document. some of those changes were due to changes in the project, others were in response to comments received on the draft eir. other clarifications to the eir document resulted in changes and findings to the conclusion of the draft eir. the draft eir certification before the planning commission, certification is not an action to approve the project. it is just a decision the eir has been completed in compliance with ceqa and is adequate, objective, and accurate. if the planning commission certifies the eir, they can proceed with considering approval of the proposed project. asked to adopt mitigation measures and a recording program as part of the ceqa findings following the eir certification. since the document has come to the attention of the planning department, a comment letter was not included, however, concerns raised were adequately addressed in the eir did not require discussion. a detailed memo responding to the, letter -- to the comet letter was distributed. inow i will readgÑ reco

it may change in the future. sharp park is losing between $30,000.300000 dollars a year. -- $30,000 and $300,000 a year. san francisco has never done any environmental review on the park, so to argue the city has chosen a particular position is premature. the rec and parks department submitted a proposal to retain the golf course over the objections of constituents. the decision could not legally be made until after environmental review was completed. it does not really been an issue yet. they have recently written that the operations -- the opportunities to redirect our limit. if they lay the pipes in a way to preclude restoration, the puc will bee pursuing an alternativ. this is why it is premature at this time. it is extremely important. water will be required, because the amount and the replacement of the water remains unknown. the project may irreversibly committed dollars to preserve the park. such a decision would certainly be harmful to ongoing decision making processes and would ultimately set back recyc

a question for the city attorney, are these changes -- >> we could act on these changes today. >> thank you. >> i also wanted to say that stephanie and peter are here. >> i did not talk about the school districts, so we should take the department. >> the director of the office of small business. the small business commission has not had the opportunity to get the legislation. we want to extend the greater appreciation for supervisor dufty to take the initiative on this and ken rich and beau hayward for all the department of components on the. and we are excited about the changes that are being proposed. they are going to be doing a great job to create a mobile food and by men for the city. and the commission when they heard this -- a couple of the amendments here have addressed some of the recommendations, that the committee had an understanding that there are concerns for the 1,500 foot -- they did make the recommendation to have this be at 1,000 feet, consistent with the medical marijuana dispensaries and the board of supervisors to determine this. ifuc

with the greatest potential each before climate change is considered. we think that's really good news. so, how do you take advantage of the new sources? the next tool, i just finished my first strategy and this is integrated water management. we think the new tools conjunctive management, integrated water management is going to be particular important. by that, we mean cross agencies not just water utilities but looking at all the agencies locally. waist management agencies flood management and energy agencies. a full sweep across medium activities that are watershed based that address a full range of supply quality, waist water, et cetera. the advantage to this is first, potential multiple benefits. the example that we will include in our document the shed where integrated has shown remarkable potential to come up with really innovative tools that were almost unthought of a decade past. cost savings and can bring funding and partners to the table. we think it will be and important tool for maximizeg the new tools. if your a water agency trying to impr

the president of the college said the changes about -- change is about honoring the past and embracing the future. >> the school president made the big reveal in front of a crowd of 500 people. the school's decision to move to a university status was made last may. this is the first announcement revealing the official name. >> we engaged all of our constituents, faculty, staff, students, alumnae. donors and president. >> the new name honored the theol's past but reflects changing environment. >> when you look at the array of programs, we operate much more as a university. a small university but much more of a university format. >> the college moved from college to university status in the past 10 years. mount st. mary's college and seminary became mount st. mary's university. [unintelligible] .ecamei the facebook page includes comments before and after. >> i have not heard people say or give specific reasons. for the most part in the focus groups i have attended, people were excited about the prospects. >> it will change how people view it. it will give us more presence that is needed.

as a change, preferences for change, so therefore, pg&e standards act change. >> just like we did with transformers, you found that there were probably things that you could do better. are you doing the same thing with gas? >> after the san bruno incident it is important to recognize we still do not know the root cause of that issue. as we look at what we can do to make our transition system safer, we have instituted what we call pipeline 20/20. that is a look at all of our infrastructure, what we need to do to modernize that system, remote control and automatic valves, working with first responders to make sure we are efficient and that they have all the equipment they need to operate safely. also in all of our work practices, lastly, we started in nonprofit to fund the next generation of technology. all of our indications were that things were fine down there. that should not have happened, it cannot happen again. we believe we need to jump-start the technology review of what else can be done to check the integrity of gas systems. that is one of our key points. >> so after this incid

global warming and climate change, as it now reaches out to people. it's a new way to remind people when they save water their saving energy and all kinds of things to reassure their future. so the global warming way is a good way to get at a lot of themes we talked about for years. it's a huge opportunity. the second thing, we have a disparity yesterday and today. we heard what shouldn't be done is base decisions on the past. that's not quite right. dan showed a wonderful plot of global warming and co2, with and without global warming. we have to have the past as part of our story to show how the change occurs. as a hydrologist we can't do the studies without the past. what we really need to say is include the effect of global warming and not ignore the changes in the future but the past has to be there to provide the background that we build and design and project. >> lester , i think you talked a little about that. maybe you'd like to clarify that a little bit. >> well, let me start in a slightly different way. but i think it's how we get to integr

from how it would change possession. based upon this information, some have a document and we have to revoke the permit based on what appears to be fraud. had this to build a building permit or a planning document, someone would make the change. deep building believes that we acted appropriately -- the building department believes we acted appropriately. but appears that someone had manipulated information. >> it is that your handwriting? >> that is my handwriting except for number 5. >> what are the word spread of four of the line at the bottom. >> that lists 30 linear feet. >> i just want to make sure. >> when you put to that, you had written it the number four. there was no extension at 38 linear feet. >> that is correct. >> when this was presented to the staff, the four had been changed to 5. >> that is correct. >> on principle, you took the action of revoking. >> it was not so much principle but it was it was a case where i would not have it at that point. someone change that piece of paper. >> when you were first p

that is all about to change. craig herrera is here to explain. >> feeling like winter across the sierra with plenty of snow up across the higher elevations. hereto tnhe s orm the satellite. look at all this rain, it's getting ready to come back in. we'll have all of o this rain coming in, start to come in during the early morning hours. it's going to be a front that will come through, and by the early afternoon we should be doneitfh it. this is going to be a good rainmaker for us. snow across the sierra, at least a foot. we have a winter storm warning in effect for the sierra's tomorrow. i'll pinpoint exactly how much you can expect and in what areas. >>> oakland is relatively quiet tonight, a day after johanas mehserle's sentencing. it all started out peacefully with a rally outside city hall. a splinter group of protesters left the rally and spilled into neighborhoods smashing the windows of buses, cars and stores as they went. by the end of the night, police made 152 arrests, police were quick to point out mor

this is the median of the projected change in precipitation where change is coated by color. red is less. what did you give me there david? 0? well, let's rearrange and i want to talk a little longer everybody is giving me attention here. i'll promise to hasten up a little bit. red is dryer and blue is wetter. and what you can see here is that along the sub tropics the latitudes between 20 degrees north and south and 30 degrees or so there tends to be a trying so the way the atmosphere works if you look at it sideways from along the equator the air is rising along the equator and sinking polar to that in the sub tropics and in our area that's calledd the north pacific high. that's why we don't get much rain. we're under the influence of the north pacific high. what's happening in these climate simulations is those subtropical highs, more or less, are strengthening, on the other hand if you live in seattle you might be more encouraged because it looks like there's a tendency for latitudes to get wetter and that wet goes further north. next one. well, here we have in this case

made or not change.contractually obligated to make sure that residents who are in bayview hunters point are aware or to make sure that they are aware, as well as if there are any employment opportunities, economic opportunities that come out of this resolution, to be sure that there are persons out of the community who are involved or benefit, rather, from that. there are so many things coming to bayview hunters point, and as francisco has mentioned before, there's something like 60% to 80% pockets of unemployment, people who are considered unemployable. so whatever possible economic projects that are coming, no matter where in bayview hunters point, that those populations have to be considered, even under extreme ways, to make adjustments, to make sure that these -- because everyone is looking to all of the new things coming to bayview to save the community. but if plans and easements and resolutions, if they come without language to satisfy, to help bring up those people who are currently considered ma

so increases in temperature, no changes in precipitation or the way we get precipitations and no change in the precipitation. decreases in snow back of 50 percent and decrease to inflow and decreases in yield. that all assumes a static systems and our operators don't change dealing with flood pockets or rule curves so that's impact of operating the system like we have historically and that's impact on our system. the issue is from today on we can't operate the system the way we used to so we have to start changing and coming one new models on how to do it. >> this i have found this a phenomenal chart. if you start that upper left and go down line by line on this chart, it shows you the official demand forecast for the seattle city water supply system. we have never - at least to date - underforecasted the demand. we always over forecast. i think if you have not looked at your official forecast it gives you a reality historically and what the demands really look like. i think also, if you have not look and i'm assuming most have, this is what our water consumption looks like verses our p

most things have changed, and that is one of the things that has changed. as we went about doing to develop a plan, we looked at that and said there will be no limited demand and housing. i don't care where people live -- it could be in the middle of an industrial park. zero eminent domain of housing. so we were very sensitive to that. redevelopment is a great tool and it is a tool that has been used all over the state. we just finished bloomingdale's. that was a redevelopment area. it could happen, and if you strike, it could really make a difference. we are trying to make sure that we are using it right. >> we are not anti-development. we are anti getting pushed out and killing our kids. >> a cheap way to provide opportunities for people is affordable housing. and this is affordable housing that will very from rental housing for families, rental housing for seniors, housing for people with disabilities, housing for the chronically homeless, holders of housing. >> we love redevelop it, but we are going to have to do some development ourselves. that is what

we changed the definition of

because the issue is not just policy change but heart change. stop injuring each other and emotional violence and physical violence that is causing kids to -- that take their own lives, what we will do is restore the heart of america. that's our number one task. >> if you're -- it is your number one task. >> if i was a cynic. i was a cynic, what is wrong with peter paul and mary? they been at this for 50 years. and a whole lot changed. the world is scarier now than it has ever been. the nuclear threat still exists. we're engaging in wars while you talk about peace. i could say, y'all been at this 50 years and nothing accomplished. >> i would say, look what happened with the women's movement. women couldn't vote for -- some time ago. they were play things. they could be nurses or librarians or teachers. look what happened. look at the people in congress, look at the environmental movement that has grown up out of this. look at mostly the civil rights movement that has changed -- look -- look. manifestation. you're sitting on the shoulders of a ci
