or any commission had a question. to mr. st. croix's point, we are also trying to balance efficiency, with adjudicating matters with the group, that we find to have significant complexity or for which there are lingering concerns. and this would have been calendared even if you had not done it. you are not the only one to request this one to be calendared. and i think that the commission by and large does a good job of recognizing when a matter should be brought before the commission and as, mr. st. croix said, the matter would otherwise have been heard in closed session, but for the fact that the fppc had already issued a determination, and so, these are typically not, even when discussed among the commissioners, done so in, or with the public present and now if we want to discuss a change to that prior, whereby they are automatically calendar and we discuss one at every meeting we can do that. but, i think that that, that decision is for a separate time. and i think that today, we should focus on adjudicating the ac

i love this commission. i love you all. i love the department. i love what we do. i love where we're going. and i think it's going to be a fun year and i think it's going to be a lot of, a lot of challenges, but a lot of opportunities. so, if you'll have me, i'd love to serve again in this capacity. now what? >> no, don't we have to have public comment? >> yes. >> you're getting good. public comment. [speaker not understood]. >> should we do the other officer? we have -- >> it's up to the chair. >> sure. if it's okay with colleagues, maybe we can hear nominations on the vice president officer. >> how many officers do we have? >> we have two, president and vice president of the commission. >> okay. >> commissioner gravanis. >> i'd like to nominate angela king for commission vice president, but i think it would be nice to know whether anyone has inquired as to his willingness. has anyone spoken with him? this is why some organizations choose to have a nominating committee so that these kinds of questions can be asked before we do our actual elections. >> so, i did br

, their ambassador of their commission, their commission president. and i said how are we doing on our partnership, on our work order? and at that time we were striking out. goose egg, zero. and i'm wondering if that's still the case -- [multiple voices] >> actually, one of the things we looked at with the budget analyst, mayor budget analyst, was the sfpuc power budget. on an overall level it wasn't broken out. the work orders to other departments were at essentially the same level. >> so we're good. >> we're good. trying to get verification on that. >> okay. our bigger challenge is getting the clean transportation funding from the general fund and from mta as far as i know right now. >> okay. >> these things change by the hour. but right now -- >> okay. >> we did get a positive response from the planning department.

>> yes. >> in front of the whole commission? >> that's something that still needs to be determined as to whether how many we can actually present either to the search committee or to the full commission. that's the last to be determined. >> i don't know again, i'm not on the search committee. i don't want to speak out of place here. but it would be great if we could have at the march 25th meeting, is it, if we could have the opportunity to maybe schedule some more time and kind of clear out the rest of the agenda and have a sort of number of different candidates come in front of us so that we can make -- we can actually sort of interview them [speaker not understood]. kind of release, hear their pitch. i don't know, like speak out of place. >> this is one of the -- this is the point of the forum. until we have a noticed meeting, there's -- as president of the commission, i can't have but one, you know, conversation. and, so, i don't know what folks are thinking here. so, this is a chance to shape it. you know, i think it's great

so what did the nine 9/11 commission recommend? what they recommended was a director of national intelligence, really a super empowered spymaster who would have the ability to come in an increasingly complex world of proliferators and stateless international terrorists, be able to come in the 9/11 commission's words, we needed a quarterback, someone very agile would be able to move dollars, people, and analysts to be able to organize quickly to meet with the determined was perhaps a more greater intelligence for national security challenge than the soviet union had been. and the 9/11 commission's estimation the soviet union, while foreboding, at least in an intelligence sense, there were indices from which to recruit spies. there were armaments to look at through satellites and other particular government agencies to intercept recommendations. but this wasn't the case with terror cells. so we need to be able to organize differently. on the point about there being a particular electoral impact, john kerry, the democratic nominee for

port commission and then by the state acting first through the state lands commission and then through a number of regulatory actions including bcdc so that is the revised schedule. moving on to the new budget, we essentially added a year's worth of additional costs to the fy 14-15 reimbursement schedule totaling $875,000. that covers again city attorney costs, consultant costs and some oewd costs. along with that we're proposing, there's an existing deferral in the ena for reimbursement of some of these costs that was due to expire in april of this year. consistent with the other changes in the schedule we're pushing that deferral date out a year. gsw under the proposed second amendment would pay the port $200,000 of some outstanding costs and we would see about $500,000 deferred until april of 2015. so that summarizes my presentation. i'm available to answer any questions that you may have. >> so moved. >> second. >> is there public comment? i have one dennis mckenzie >> thank you, commissioners, i'm dennis mckenzie, education. i provided you with a short update on proposal to ask th

but this commission already seemed to have made the assumption that things were meant to happen the way they did. and there were comments made that this looks to be a sight where the refewal to get around a demolition and we want let this happen because i am going to use it as an example going forward. so that the people as a guy that was nearly killed underneath that thing it was very upsetting to read that kind of thing, but we hope to have this on the agenda next month and we look forward to having our side of story out there which is going to be the truth. >> thank you. >> thank you, next speaker please? >> would you like to weigh in on the report and we will take your commissioners comments and questions after the directors. >> good morning, commissioners. and after the use of the december 16, first of all, you know, in as a dbi bond, you know in the morning and then we send the inspector out right away. and then, my staff also were there to, you know, to look through the whole site to make my decision. how to keep the structures safe. also, i would like to greatly appreciate, you

some conversations for this commission to not set rates. i would like a summary of what was discussed during that meeting because if time passes we want to refresh our recollection as it relates to exactly what was decided and what was not because i'm not entirely sure the information exchanged was entirely accurate and we are getting a message from the lack local agency formation meeting and i would like to know what the agenda looks like and would like to have a conversation about what kind of calendaring works after we have added more items to our calendar. the other item was we had some conversations about a joint meeting with the commission on environment. i think we are all in agreement that that made some sense. we just weren't sure about the timing of it. i think the general manager was correct in his effort to be a little bit more deliberate with the schedule and i think we'll learn that meeting will come to us on or about the second meeting in april. we look forward to seeing that notice. and finally for us, given lots of the conv

but if that is not the direction of the commission just let us know. what this rfp deals with is a build out program to find an independent consultant to issue criteria that the commission has developed which is obviously maintained energy efficiency and increase local control and maximize job creation and maintain affordable electric rates to support environmental justice and provide and describe the economic opportunities. this was a criticism that we heard both from the mayor's office and sfpuc commission when the sfpuc prepared the program, the cca program for the rate approval was that there was some confusion or not enough clarity on the local build out program and commissioner breed had requested at the last meeting that we spend some time, spend some resources to take a look at that and specify a plan and provide a more cohesive plan as to what the local energy build out would be. the draft talks about, there has been a number of reports. we don't want to reinvent the wheel. so what the draft does is mention the reports that have been done and

one illustration of the importance to the commission and the approach the commission took in this thought-about public administration and this emphasis on public administration is our reliance on data. our view was we ought to look at election administration as thoroughly as possible through the lens as the best possible information, social science and research that was available. and we were very fortunate that some of the witnesses who came before the commission were able to fashion fresh data for purposes of their testimony that the commission could rely upon and that included an extraordinary survey of several thousand state and local election administrators conducted by the state's political scientists and survey research experts and we gleaned very significant information about some of the issues we addressed from that survey. overall throughout the report, the effort was to look very closely at the evidence, how the electoral system was performing. and in that connection, one of the recommendations that we make is that we need in this country much more collection and analysis of data to

that's what the commission did. presidential election -- commission on election administration was made up of 10 members, included current and former election officials, executives from successful customer service oriented businesses and two chairs, both well known, one republican, one a democrat, but each with a long, storied history in this area. and so, mr. bauer and mr. ginsburg, you've been on opposing sides in political campaigns, in the courtroom, you both have top-notch credentials as advocates and champions of your respect i parties. you're uniquely qualified to identify caresa -- areas where we should move forward. i'd like to thank you for serving on the commission and finding places where we can move beyond partisanship and focus on the nuts and bolts of making running elections easier and better for voters and administrators alike. your commission's report in my judgment is an outstanding piece of work, a valuable road map for improving election administration in this country. while the commission's cha
