finance trees in their own district from a boarder management prospective we would like to see a citywide program to take care of the trees because some districts for whatever reasons because of lower confirmation or greater industrial area you're not necessarily going to get the support and yet those areas need the tree care greater or equal to the areas that might be able to fund some things on a district basis. >> i want to apologize i'm not a member of this committee unfortunately, i have to go to another meeting my staff is.org a meeting of residents in my district for later next week to talk about the progress i look forward to i know that your team has been doing i want to thank you your unbelievably understaffed and hearing we want to find the resources it's going to take a lot of work to convince san francisco this is a problem we need to fund but absolutely need to do it for the height and safety of our city. >> thank you next, i want to invite up friends of the urban forest gordon if you want to go first oh, gordon. >> 81 hi supervisors appreciate our support i'm going to show

>> we are looking into it citywide. part of it as the puc we are looking at our own impact and citywide, the city will be looking at the capital process and what capital has the highest priority for money in that vein. we are also looking at the state revolving funds and because it's a low cost loan it has potential of millions of dollars and we have access for those teams now to be one of the first agencies to take up the large advantage of the rules around the state revolving fund . >> even when susan allele was general manager, she worked with other utilities to create an organization that really focus on climate change. i'm participating on that and nacua, they are all experiencing climate change. the utility industries we are bonding together. in fact we are learning a lot from new york, from sandy. so we've been talking about how they are dealing with it as it relates to climate for their infrastructure. >> i also want to appreciate your leadership on this because a lot of people are talking about how san francisc

you title planning code text change that signals to me this is something that has to be invited citywide citywide has to work on this it hadn't occurred and form of it's complicated first of all, the department this be commended it is a good idea to simplify it and put it in code and the planner is to be accommodated he's duplicate a great job, however, it is not over the only wow. way to solve is two columns one column of existing code and what's proposed so very few people are aware of any of this this isn't right what our planning it effects everyone in the city whether a renter or non-renter everybody will be effected so i think it behooves us all to be careful the process and procedure as they admonish me in the early days thank you. >> hello commissioners and commissioner president wu my name is jeff wood i'm a member of the cal hallow board association and i've a couple of comments on the article two amendments certainly meantime everybody wants to simplify documents at city hall that's a great idea we fully support that but we think it is kind of confusing trying to create or cha

of the trees have been the responsibility of the city and this is argue will i makes it for equal citywide this was to provide the caregivers maintenance for the trees we were failing in our responsibility to care for the trees the idea for the caregivers was to protect the pedestrian safety. >> in terms of your experience i know that at some point in terms of how property owners approach their maintenance be responsibility i know there are owners who do a good job and on that don't do people for the 65 thousands are the responsibility and have been for quite sometime do people tend to know or others blow it off. >> thank you for asking many property owners take great care of their trees and everyday at work he get a question from people that has no idea the tree in front of of their property is not their responsibility this is a property owner that may have would on the property for 10 or 15 years so those trees are getting absolutely no care that leads to limb failure and this demonstrates the property owners as you stayed don't want to take care of the tree or invest or have the resourc

i do want to support under the right conditions the expansion of the program to citywide. i have concerns about the cost of that. $21 million citywide over the course of five years, a little over $4 million if i do my math correctly per year, might be something that could do down in future years depending on how much storage of data is going to be in the future. but could also be offset by lowered complaints that come forward in terms of litigation. so i think there's ways of looking at that cost as something that could be cost effective even under the current conditions. i'm excited about that moving forward and in the future. i'm not sure if i'll be on the board when that's finally enacted but it's likely to have my support if i'm still here. i want to thank everyone for your work, the commissioners as well for weighing in on this and this item, i think we can probably file and come up with a new one if we want to review in the future the general order or policies around the cameras. >> great. thank you supervisor avalos. again, i really appreciate the leadership that yo
