mobility for pedestrians and cyclists to put it on the political agenda and being a deputy for the green party in an assembly of 89 deputies, it has been possible to find an alliance in every political party whether it's the liberal, the socialists, the christian democrats, or the green. so we have been taking initiatives together asking hearings in the parliament and so on. i think it's very important that grassroots organization kansas do their work. i'm still participating in actions when we are doing that in brussels. but you need that. you need an efficient administration but you also need that political support. i will give you a brief presentation of how it is like in brussels. this should work, ok. so i think i already told you a bit of what i feel, a politicians elected member should do. of course, we have regulations to vote, to discuss laws and permits. we have a budget to control and in that budget, you will see our mobility policy. you can have your own expenses on infrastructure work, for instance, but in brussels, we also have an important policy on financing groups, social grou

. >> eric brooks, san francisco green party and our city. commissioner olague, the other commissioners will have heard this a couple of times already. i want to say in public for your benefit. another issue that organizers and i have worked with at that lafco worked on many years ago is to ensure that the future of communications and francisco becomes a public utility and not controlled as it is right now by comcast, at&t, and entities like that. the reason lafco got involved was because of the dubious attempt earthlink and google to take over wireless internet services in san francisco as a private monopoly, a duopoly thing. right now, we are doing a lot of work on community choice. as soon as that work gets done, based on what we are getting from the fcc, even under obama, we have moves by a very massive corporations to take control of the internet. advocates that have been working on that are pretty afraid that if we don't move soon to set up a public broadband system in san francisco that covers the entire city, we will get preempted fro

eric brooks, representing san francisco green party and the local grass roots organization, our city. it's really, really exciting to see this preliminary report because it shows exactly what advocates of rank choice voting have always said, which is that voter participation is higher during rank choice elections and you can -- if you're part of any given political cadre that wants to downplay that and make look like that's not the case, you can do what happened over the last year and go to the media with cherry picked numbers and make it look like participation is lower during rank choice and higher during a runoff but we're seeing from actual numbers that have been crurched that that's not true, and that rank choice voting, as we've always said, increases participation. and so that's really good to see. and i would say, as far as looking for more information, i think it would be good to compare where we can in rank choice elections where people did have more than three choices, compare the error rate between that and what we had. also, ballot styles could be very important. you know

. >> eric brooks representing the san francisco green party. i was very happy to hear supervisor cohen press the importance of community involvement. we see that it is not just fiscal decisions that are being made by these agencies, but a lot of structural decisions about how to build out these cities. there are huge ongoing issues with the current programs, especially with the bay view, hunters point. for the last few years, there has not been adequate community decision making in this project. we know and tire classes, sometimes entire ethnic groups, groups that have major environmental concerns have been left out of this process. two key points on that. one is just public medicine. there have been thousands that have made comments on environmental impact reports and other aspects of this project. every one should be notified of the oversight board meeting so that they know to show up. i have been one of those commenters.

i'm here representing the san francisco green party and the local grassroots organization, our city which has 4000 supporters in san francisco, most of whom vote in the elections. this here also has a person who lives a block away from the proposed new hospital. the current deal as it is proposed is unacceptable. we've spoken at these hearings several times on this issue. and this thing has not changed substantially. since the beginning. it is pretty much the same deal. it is still bad deal. the charity care is still ridiculously low, the local hiring is still ridiculously low. the transit impacts are extreme in my neighborhood. the last thing, the most important thing is to get back into this idea that we are somehow moving this forward for earthquake safety. what is happening here is a major centralization of hospital services in one spot. what we need to do is beef up city looks to more than it is right now, not less. put it back up to the state they used to be in, serving the community. the key problem here is that when we centralize hospital services in one giant facility, on van nes

. >> good evening, commissioners, eric brooks, i'm here representing the san francisco green party and also the local grassroots organization in our city. first, i would like to point out that this process would not have taken 10 years had sutter health sat down with the entire community and negotiated in good faith to reach consensus on all of the things that we're raising as problems with this thing. i would like to also start out by speaking to all the trade union members that were in here, the building trades. no one is talking about building less than 635 beds and hopefully we're talking about building more. what we're talking about is where and how to build those beds, not whether or not you all are going to get jobs. you're going to get those jobs. we need to build this system right. the broad issue here, the issue that covers this whole thing is that this is not just the rebuilding a hospital and building a new one. this is rebuilding an entire network of hospitals and changing the way they operate across the entire city that is going to affect the health and welfare of hundred

. >> good afternoon, i represent the san francisco green party and our city. i just wanted to touch on a couple of things staff raised, the main on the polling data, mixed in with the p.g. in the announcement, and what this program is looking like. the stake holder meetings between lafco, sfpuc, a local power, and the advocates have been going pretty well. the local power information about the rollout is maturing. well, indicating a lot of very good things. it looks like there will be a lot of creative ways that we can use to build out to, for example, reduce the opt-out rate, which was raised at the beginning by very specifically targeting consumers who are willing to buy into the program at the beginning, to become part owners of that, things like that, renewable energy shares. if local power is able to come up with what it believes that it can, that also will give those customers a comparable rate to pg&e's correct rate, so it actually would not be higher, and that changes the whole dynamic with the polling. if we get that to happen, we don't have to pick a
