supervisor farrell. >> supervisor farrell: thank you, president chiu. colleagues, i respect everyone's decisions. with that however i'm not going to be supporting the underlying items, but what i would like to do, the one thing i want to make clear is again, as mentioned before, everyone supports our green economy in san francisco and any job creating measures to that effect are something i want to support so i'd like to divide the file for item 16, the $6 million going to fund go solar sf to energy efficiency initiates as well as the study of the local build-out i would like to separate those items out and have a roll call on those items separately. >> president chiu: okay. why don't we first take a vote on the $6 million program items that supervisor farrell would like to sever out. if we could take a roll call vote on those items. >> clerk calvillo: president chiu, aye. supervisor chu, aye. supervisor cohen, aye. supervisor elsbernd, aye. supervisor farrell, aye. supervisor kim, aye. supervisor mar, aye. supervisor olague, aye. supervisor wiener, aye

supervisor farrell. >> supervisor farrell: thank you. i want to thank the appellants and project sponsor for their hard work. unless you want to talk to the project sponsor, the appellate, offer the planning department as well for any comments or questions. but otherwise i suggest perhaps opening up to a public comment right away. >> president chiu: thank you. as supervisor farrell mentioned there is a resolution to this but we want to open it up to public comment. any members of the public that wish to speak in support or against the appeal, this is the time. >> good afternoon, supervisors. jim reuben, representing the project sponsor in this case. i want to urge you to support the correct decision of the planning department to issue the cad ex in the first place for what amounts to a firewall and i want to thank supervisor farrell's office and particularly margaux kelly. we went through three continuousances so the resolution did take a while and i appreciate the help. thank you. >> ♪ and somewhere down the crooked road, our roads are

supervisor farrell. >> supervisor farrell: i appreciate supervisor campos' comments. to be clear that is not changing the opt-out nature of cca. we cannot do that by state law. what we're trying to do is make it better. and to me, for us not to -- this is something -- the first time i heard of it just now was when supervisor wiener mentioned it. but to talk about not working on it, which is the main issue of contention not only here on the board but to the public, to agree to continue this for a week to me is saying we're not willing to work on programs to make them better for san francisco janice and i think that is the wrong approach. so me it's take it as it is, shove it down our throats the way it is today. it can get better and we're willing to work on it, even if it's slightly different than what i've proposed today and real realize it's come out in a last minute. it's a huge issue. i think we can get support on the board and i don't see a reason why we don't try. it speaks of being afraid to have that dialogue. >> president chiu: supervisor cohen. >> supervisor

supervisor farrell: thank you very much.k you for the presentation and for being here. having been briefed on this, i have no questions. colleagues, do you have questions? ok, with that, we will open it up to public comment. are there any members of the public who wish to comment on item number three? please line up here on the side. everyone will have two minutes to speak. >> thank you, supervisors. my name is david, director of housing development for community housing partnership. chp service formerly homeless tenants at all of our buildings in san francisco, and as such, we have used the losp at a number of projects. we have five buildings that have losp contracts, to the more contact serving an additional 145 tenants for which we hope to have losp contracts in the future. this is a fantastic program. the arlington is a fantastic project, so this contract deserves our support. the federal resources available to support supportive housing are simply insufficient to meet the needs of creating projects, creating units for h

supervisor farrell: ok. all right, with that, colleagues, this is a hearing -- we're going to entertain a motion to table the hearing before that, i would like to take any public comment. any members of the public who wish to comment on item number four? ok, seeing none, public comment is closed. colleagues, can we take a motion to table this hearing? motion by president chiu. we can do that without objection. mr. clerk, can we call item number one, please? >> item number one, -- supervisor farrell: number one and two together.

>> supervisor farrell: that's correct. that's the intention. >> supervisor wiener: so i guess my question, to the puc, if there's flexibility for the commission to determine what that number is -- and i've actually spoken with supervisor farrell about potential language and i have language here to say to get to the number which is viable, which i think is 75,000 or thereabouts, but a number that would give some sort of strong indication that it is likely to be viable, so it could be perhaps a lower number, but something showing that there actually is interest -- i know you've done surveys in the past so i want to acknowledge that. but in terms of logistics of the program, the timing of you sign the contract, you -- at some point you commit to buying the power from shell, you have to have certain -- you don't want to buy it without knowing how many people you're going to be selling it to. i'm wondering what degree of flexibility there is so that if you did do a survey, let's say a certain number of people, whatever the comm

.] >> president chiu: supervisor farrell. >> supervisor farrell: thank you, president chiu. ed, let me just add to the chorus of really applause for you. we first met last year, before i was even sworn in as supervisor. we met for coffee, 44 montgomery, right by my old office. from that day on, i said it before, in committee last week, one of my favorite people in city government, someone that not only i think shares incredible background but also someone with such integrity. we seem to be at odds on this latest issue but we've had such great dialogue over the last number of months, on san francisco reservoir and other things we work on. i wish i had more time to work with you. it's only been a year and a half. i wish you the best. this city will be the one that will lose out but i hope it's your gain and wish you all the happiness and success in the future. thanks for everything you've done. >> [applause.] >> president chiu: supervisor mar. >> supervisor mar: i was going to tip my hetch hetchy glass to you, ed. but i wanted to say that a number of my colleagues have mention

. >> president chiu: supervisor farrell. >> supervisor farrell: thank you, president chiu. and, colleagues, and also want to echo support and thanks to ed harrington. i think he's done an amazing job. i know we will talk about you later but done an amazing job at the puc. you know, when i first heard of cca a number of years ago before being on the board of supervisors, and the notion of creating greener, cheaper energy, that also creates local jobs, you know, who wouldn't support that idea. and i believe, as much as anyone in building our green economy here in san francisco, and doing what we can to make that a reality. and, you know, as i mentioned to mr. harrington, have expressed to him, i realize the constaint he's been under and puc has been under through state law and otherwise in what they can create. as was talked about in committee last week, the initial goals of the board of supervisors passed a number of years ago before cca were simply unattainable. i want to echo comments that i support the -- of cca but there are a number of issues that i have with the curren

supervisor farrell. >> supervisor chiu: sprank tra , chair kim. these are always difficult decisions but we have to move forward with someone. let me say a few things because a lot was brought up in the public comment and otherwise. speaking as someone who did not vote to seat mr. wolfe, i guess it was a number of months now to the sunshine ordinance task force, there was certainly no intent to stop the task force from meeting, and agree that there was, as supervisor campos mentioned, a general unawareness of what was happening by doing so, and stopping the task force from meeting by our charter. i do have a bit of a different approach though. i don't -- just because of that, i don't believe we need to seat someone necessarily. we still want to find the right person, and someone that we believe in to sit on the sunshine ordinance task force or any other task force or commission that we appoint. i don't believe just because there's one requirement that we're going to have to appoint someone that we don't believe in that will do the right job. despi

supervisor farrell: i just want to thank everyone for coming back for public comments. my colleagues as well for mentioning my amendment last week when i had to leave prior to the discussion. thank you for that. i agree with supervisor campos that the linkage with the gross receipts tax proposal is very strong in sunday when he to continue to explore and discuss at the board ofáw i will be happy to make that motion. to make it easier, i will make the motion to for this to the full board tomorrow with no recommendation. supervisor kim: thank you. we do have a motion to forward this item with no recommendation. we have a motion to send it as a committee report so we can hear it at the full board tomorrow. before that, i have supervisor wiener. supervisor wiener: i just wanted to -- thank you, colleagues, for the participation and the thoughtful dialogue over the last two hearings. i am very, very excited about sending this to the voters and making sure that we are as serious as we can be about finding a long-term, sustainable funding stream for affordable housing in san f

supervisor farrell. >> supervisor farrell: thank you, chair kim. i've been relatively silent during these items, really just because i'm really thankful for the commissioners for being willing to serve again. ms. caen, ms. vietor, mr. courtney, i really had no questions of them, other than what was being asked. your service has been incredible to the puc. i think even more broadly, all three of you to the city of san francisco in so many fashions. i really want to thank you for your service. i'm more than happy and delighted that you're willing to serve again, and that i will be happy to support it. and also to the comments supervisor campos made, i think especially because the laborers are to the puc, it's so important that we have labor being represented here, couldn't support them more fully. vince, you are a great representative of your union. you should be proud of what you do. thank you for your willingness to come back. i will make a motion to amend supervisor campos' motion to do this, we're going to make a motion to amend item no. 2, to --

i want to recognize supervisor farrell's comments though regarding the fact that -- (no audio) -- i do want to give him an opportunity to do so, to meet with my colleagues and see if he's able to garner some other support. if it isn't, i suspect -- i know that this item will then come back and be referred to rules committee. i know mr. oka, i'm a huge fan of mr. oka. i'm glad that he's interested in this committee. unfortunately his application did not come in by the the time we agendized the rules committee and for that reason i feel for the sake of the process and honoring the process i will be supporting moving this motion out to the full board. but i do think that there is some -- i do think that supervisor farrell had brought some valid concerns but i want to give mr. wolfe that opportunity to lobby and make his case to other members of this board of supervisors. so, supervisor farrell, i don't believe you actually made the motion that you had discussed, and i appreciate your willingness to not engage in the rigmarole. we have a motion to move forward mr. wolfe with recommendation

supervisor farrell, present. supervisor kim, present. supervisor mar, absent. supervisor olague, present. supervisor wiener, present. mr. president, you have a quorum. >> president chiu: thank you. ladies and gentlemen, given that it is september 11, 2012, i'd like to ask that we take a moment of silence to remember the victims of 9/11. >> president chiu: thank you very much. if you could please join me in the pledge of allegiance. >> i pledge allegiance to the flag of the united states of america, and to the republic for which it stands, one nation, under god, indivisible, with liberty and justice for all. >> president chiu: colleagues, we have our july 31 board meeting minutes. motion by supervisor campos, seconded by supervisor farrell. without objection those are approved. madam clerk, any communications? >> angela calvillo: i have no communications. >> president chiu: could you call our 3 pm special order. >> angela calvillo: first item of business is policy discussion between mayor and linley and board of supervisors. this week representing the even distr

. >> supervisor farrell: thank you. i want to echo what i said earlier and to say thank you. someone who has been here a year and a half and new to the political system in san francisco, you have been an incredible guide. from my perspective, and, you know, you talk about professionalism, but you have really helped a ton. i mean that very personally. i want to thank you for that. i don't think anyone else could have done that. so many things -- i don't know what supervisor campos or wiener said, whether something is material or not, and having you on speed dial that is true for me. you are such a great person. our loss is their gain at the trial team but thank you for everything. john you have big shoes to fill but i love working with you already and love working with you in the future. sheryl, thanks a ton. >> president chiu: supervisor chu. >> supervisor chu: a lot has been said about how smart sheryl is and the decorum she has and how wonderful she is. i wanted to thank you because i remember when i was first appoint
