i think that they could be put together. >> that was not my question. >> will the department of the environment and the mayor come back and say that we don't need clean power sf because of this program? >> certainly from the department of the environment perspective we would not come back and say that about a future green power sf program. >> could we hear from the mayor's office on that? >> thank you. >> good morning supervisors, kate howard through the chair, i have not had specific conversations with the mayor regarding the relationship between the pace program and the cca program. however, as you will recall, last spring, the mayor and the board did agree to move forward with continued study and work to develop a cca program. and that was funded in the budget that came before this board last june. at this point, the mayor has no, and the mayor's office does not intend to see this as a replacement of cca. >> not to my knowledge. >> okay. >> thank you. >> and maybe i could add some color to this as well and i thank you for this and for the comments and i just say that someone has been working

together with the other departments that saw the same problems and in fact there are not that many other departments that have the level of problem that we see at the department of the environment. and so, we are thinking that maybe the general fund money the right way to go. and then we had a fantastic presentation on the urban agriculture which made me happy. and we got to speak with the person from parks and recr, who is covering the program and we had a lot of discussion around whether or not parks and rec should own the program or if it should be ours. >> but we learned and we learned fantastic things about the community gardens and the city owned property you know, that the people are creating, and they are growing food and some of that is going for feed the people who don't have other access to food in the city and it is heartening and fantastic presentation and then finally, we discussed the community meeting that we had and we learned as to whether or not the staff could accommodate that level of work, whether it was too much work to put the community meetings together and talked about what worked but

touch each side of the room, and that is where not only one person may live, but an entire family may live, so that was very impactful to me and we got a grant, the department of the environment and the planning department, together, got a grant with ccdc, to work on greening china town, and doing that, in a very thoughtful way, that engage the community, and with a particular focus on the pings, and that the housing, and the public housing, that was part of the housing authority, is going to be going over, and to ccdc for their management and so this is a pretty phenomenal opportunity for the department to work closely with those organizations in china town, and see how they can bring the best in place and sort of the best practices to public housing so that they can have the green and livable space and we just kicked it off and i was pleased that commissioner wan could be there and it was a phenomenal group of people around the table and i am excited to see how this progresses and i will be coming back to the commission and give you updates on that and i just wanted you to know what was going on and we have selected a contractor, to help with our reevaluation and reorganiza

. >> authorize the department of the environment to expand a 3 hundred a $300,000 grant for fuel vehicles in the city to to september 30th, 2016, without objection this item passes on first reading next item, please. >> item 18 the mayors office of housing of community development 443 thousand research contract grants from the irs from september september 30, 2014, to december 31, 2016. >> without objection this resolution is adopted. unanimously. >> items 19 through 21 are the resolutions authorizing the city to participate in the renewable energy programs renewable energy financing program joint powers agreement amendment and the statewide community development authority to create administrative process to accept applications and levy assessments. >> colleague in front of us today are 3 resolutions to restart green sf here in in sf it's a project that i've been working on over a year at this time and last year we had the department of the environment take the necessary steps which is a clean energy financing program for residential properties of 4 units or less and enables homeowners an

and so, one of the aspects of the ordinance as it was introduced by supervisor avalos, does direct people or in viet people to go to our website at the department of environment and the age of the website to get the further information and so that is useful and it is not a direct statement of trying or urging people to move into other forms of transportation, or cleaner vehicles, but it certainly puts them to the information source where they can easily find that information. but, a couple of just specific more detailed and in some ways, administrative points on the proposal, one of the aspects of the wording as it was introduced, is that it points out that almost 20 pounds of carbon dioxide are generated by burning fuel for a car. and that is certainly true, according to the epa records, in data. and in the california resources board data for petroleum fuel and i think that it is important for us to realize that if we have a specific number in an ordinance like this, it probably should either identify it as pet trol um feel or if we drop a number it makes it broad enough there that it applies to any types of fuel, even some that are cleaner like compressed n

>> great, the department of the environment, and so we are looking at the opportunity to commissioner stephenson point that we really want to leverage and continue to make it a repetitive asset, right? and added to other campaigns and so we have been looking at, and the bigger pictures, and the climate related and the communication through the ambassador trainings and through the grant program that we are running, and any time that we can tap into the climate change and the impacts that every action have and every action and every day, to because right now we don't have the funds that are directly associated does that make sense? >> it doesn't mean that we would not get the funding, it is just that we were and if there was not funding associated we would have to write a grant to do it, because there is nothing in our funding right now, it is not that we are not willing to write a grant, i would love to write a grant but it is not guaranteed. the questions for jeremy and the picture that we all really liked of the tag and it looked like it had a hard, metal or a plastic sleeve, or some

of public service capacities throughout the country. and we are incredibly lucky to have somebody of her caliper at the department of the environment and we have always been lucky. when i thought about who would make the best fit for a deputy director, in light of the fact that nobody can replace david osmond and that is a given that we know. i thought a lot about the fact that this person needs to compliment me. that really what i am looking for is an executive team. someone where the number one and two together, will have the traits that will be most beneficial to the department. and so as i interviewed candidates and brought in other people outside to help me in that interview process i was doing it with the filter are what are the attributes that i am lacking or that i could use help in, or that somebody else can strengthen along with me? and so i was not looking for a subject matter expert, somebody who would be expert in all of the mutia of policy, i can do that and we have a lot of great program managers on that i wanted someone who had the strategic ability to look at systems, and improve them, and help us strategically place ou

responses that we received from the arts commission, the community college district, the department of the environment, the puc, the school district and as well as including a new section for the successor agency to the redevelopment agency. that section was deleted a couple years ago when the agency was dissofld. i know it's a lengthy document. i'm not sure if you have particular questions but i can do my best to answer them but i confess we rely on what the department provides to us. neither offices have a lot of incite into how particular departments are organized or what particular people do so we often rely on the departments required submissions. >> okay. thank you. >> thank you. >> supervisor tang. >> i don't have any questions but i mean just looking even the original version it seems straightforward to me. again it's just updating the position and the titles so i think there's no problem with this. >> thank you. >> i concur. >> okay. so is there a motion for this. >> public comment. >> yeah. public comments -- are there any public comments on this item? seeing none public comment is now close

i am currently working for the san francisco department of the environment where i manage sustainable transportation programs and outreach and education programs. but my experience and interest is not only in transportation. i am also interested in understanding the factors that contribute to making a complete and vibrant neighborhood for residents and visitors including access to basic services, amenities, schools and open spaces. and on a personal level i grew up in san francisco and have lived in the mission delores area for the last 11 years. i don't own a car and rely on the pedestrian, transit and car share amenities in the neighborhood and i also work in the plan area which i mentioned and familiar with the multi-model access issues that currently exist and we need be mitigated with all of the new development coming on board now and over the next few years so to conclude i am interested in continuing to be a part of the cac and contribute to the improvements in the plan area. thank you. >> thank you very much. thank you for wanting to serve. the next person on the agenda is jos

grass-roots environmental justice movement and emerald cities and other groups working with the department of the environment that that can be another body that is helping to move the build out and the local efficiency projects forward so my hope is that we integrate that community driven body in addition to what we're doing suggested by the report and i wanted to thank jason fried and barbara hale and others and like my colleagues i have anxiety how slow this has been and i don't want to see anymore barriers and delays. >> thank you commissioner mar. commissioner breed. >> thank you. i just wanted to some clarity from ms. hale. it seems like the only concern with the puc is the lack of clarity around the job component in terms of the local build out and how that whole formula has come together. is that correct? >> barbara hale, assistant general manager at the sf puc. i used that as an example of the sort of thing i know already we're looking for better clarity on now that we received what is referred to as the final report. >> okay. is there a list of questions or a way to coordinate a meeting with you and

. >> review and approval of the draft resolution, 2014-16 coe, approving the department of environment funding recommendation for the grant award to support the used oil community mural project in bay view hunter's point and a copy of your resolution and funding recommendation, director and speak ner place of anne, eng is justice coordinator and this is a discussion and action item. >> would you like to introduce the item? >> i would love to. as you may know bay view huntary's point is one of the neighborhoods that suffers from the largest incident of illegal dumping. and that illegal dumping is not only garbage and trash, it is electronics and toxic and motor oil, and we have written a grant to cal recycle, the state agency that over sees funding of household hazardous waste, collection initiatives, to increase awareness in the area for proper disposal and the challenges of what illegal disposal dumping has on the community. and one of the items that we wanted to do was to put together a mural to highlight and utilize local talent, that would speak in a way that the community would be

of brain tumors. >> duke energy along with the state department of environment sample the water. residents say they watch duke take samples in areas where it would not show high levels of toxicity. >> how are the test results so different from the river keepers and duke's water sampling. >> they say it's about the collection method. one things that we find sometimes these groups take very tur bid taylorsville. >> duke said that allows the metals in coal ash to read at higher levels of toxicity, but river keeper said that his group's testing follow federal guidelines. >> we don't think it makes sense to go out against epa suggests and filter out the contaminants ma we're looking for. duke will do what is best for them. >> the state's governor worked for the company for 29 years. this year his budget cut funding for workers who inspect coal ash pons. >> part of what we want is for the management of duke to fully understand the dangers that their company's practices are foisting on people along the rivers. >> duke said it will have all 32 ash ponds in the state cleaned up in 2009. t

have colleagues here from capital planning committee, the port, the city engineer and the department of environment to answer any questions. so first of all, i'm happy to report that after the mayor asked the city to develop guidelines for how we're going to be addressing sea level rise that the city capital planning committee has adopted our guidance for incorporated sea level rise into capital planning into san francisco and this is a plan to assess vulnerability, assess risk, measures of adaptation, measures of moving forward and they were recommending that those implementations have been implemented and that's 1a and b. with respect to the recommendation that the planning code should be amended to show areas that are at most risk to sea level rise, as we mentioned in our response, the port and the pec have already published maps depicting these areas along the bay and ocean shoreline, showing what the bay and zone could be that are vulnerable to future flooding. these maps have been incorporated by the planning department's gis system and [inaudible] to sea level rise and so we don't think that

we got comments from puc, the department of environment, from advocates and got extremely high level comments from ted eagon about it as well and all -- his comments were this seems to be fine. they used different modeling than what the city uses but because the city's model is a proprietary model and you have to pay and it's expensive to pay for they had a similar model they had a contract on and license they could use so they used their model rather than the city model of calculating job creations for money that is spent on projects and construction, so ted didn't have issues with the other model. if you unran it through the city model you would be off by a few jobs because they're slightly different but in the same ballpark for estimates. >> what is the overall job growth mentioned? >> the final job number if i remember correctly state wide was about 9,000 and half of those fell into the local hire ordinance jurisdiction area, and so you had about 4500 -- 4700 -- i don't remember the numbers off the top of my head but half were the local jobs created. >> there is a difference betwe
