i'm interested in initiating. an initiation is a beginning. we already begun but now we're going to begin formally. i would move to initiate tonight. >> what is the other item? >> just for the benefit of the public. this is the informational portion only. we have one more item on the calendar. >> commissioner moore. >> mr. yarny made a thought for presentation. i'm not an economist, i would like to have a follow up question and answer session page by page, i took a number of -- of -- i have a number of questions, partially because of this being a complex issue, has implications over a very long time frame, your percentage set aside for efrpblialities, what do they mean spread -- edgialities spread over 20 years. there are many questions, a level of detail which probably is all at your finger tips for -- for -- speaking for myself on the receiving end at this hour of the day it is a lot. i appreciate the thoughtfulness with which you presented. it was clear. well laid out. i like the firm you're working with as really objective advisor to you.

please -- do not initiate. thank you. >> i'm ashamed, i'm ashamed of what you initiated tonight. thank god there's transparency in these meetings. and tell voiced meetings because of when you are doing. i think that you're on the road to the city being insolvent and this will be one issue that can actually make the city ill solvent and it may never ever recover. ireland, spain, portugal. they're in the recovering from the swap that is all fortress is interested in is money. you know it. i'm very disappointed in what i heard tonight. >> the preservation core sore shum. additionally -- we want to stress, there's feasible preservation alternatives to the project that would significantly lesson adverse impacts to the national register, eligible cultural landscape. we -- we the e.i.r. didn't analysis properly the -- the development and the historic district alternative, the west side partial historic alternative saying they were inconsistent with the project response's objectives. we very much want our office of economic development and the sponsor to take a look at -- at detailed acc

as we present the different categories of initiatives and some initial cost estimates, it is also important to note that many of our initiatives impact several important community benefit categories. a specific contract initiative that is categorized under work force and economic development may also and oftentimes does have significant positive environmental impacts while also playing an important educational role. if you look at the categories, we will go through how much we are spending in each of those categories. keep that in mind. we will present you with a few specific examples to clarify this later, but we wanted to explain that although a few initiatives may be categorized as an environmental program and the costs associated may be reflected under the environmental category, that specific initiative may also have work force and economic development or positive land use impact. on the slide is a list of the different categories with approximates of how much we are spending in those areas. again, they are rough cost estimates for several community benefit areas we put together during

and i think it is the wrong time to initiate. we need to wait and get -- get rock solid advice and -- and -- rock solid legal opinion on the rent control issue. >> thank you. >> good morning. good night. my name is joe. i have a memo, a copy of the e-mail addressed to mr. swens ski and mrs. water. and i'm not sure howe accurate it is but essential i -- how accurate it is but the hearing occurred on november 4th, 2010. december 9th2010 and one will occur on december 16 at the december 16th hearing, at the apartment will request that the commission initiate amendments that the planning code and zoning map and general plan for action on or after february 3rd2011. can you please ask -- mr. swens ski and mrs. watty if that's correct. thank you. good evening. park merced shopping center. i don't know if -- if it is the right time to initiate or not, you know, it is hate at night. but the main thing we got to get it right for everybody involved. we got we just got to get it right. it is a big project. you know. just take everything in t

-- no earlier than three weeks after their initiation. so, that is why the february 3rd day is what has come up today as the earliest possible date. the commission decided that the date is not possible, they could take initiation today, anytime after. it just -- what is happening today is just initiation of that. i looked at the website, it -- it says that they would take action on that day. i went out and i want to be clear about this. because we had to prepare -- for the possibility that the commission would initiate today, for february 3rd, there were newspaper ads play -- saying it would be on the 3rd. on the 3rd, the com pigs would take a continuance action to continue to a later date. it is -- i want to make sure everybody understands, that you're clear, you will see newspaper ads that say it'll happen on the third but it'll not. the commission will have to continue it on that day. to a later date. we don't know what that date is. just to be clear, the initiation action says that we could prepare documents for you to take action on

it was initially anticipated that it would be completed by january 31st but it is now taking another month or through the month of february. on page 10 of our report, under the fiscal impact section, we stated that the department of technology is paying $91,000 to lease the facility. . if you look at the table on page 11, we state under that table the total monthly cost would increase by $70,380 per month or 7.1%. the total annual increase cost is $844,696. however, a direct comparison of the cost does not reflect the fact that this is a superior data facility to one market plaza. it has upgraded capacities. the cost of at least close to a million $900,000 would be needed to upgraded into a facility and to continue the datacenter and the department of technology has stated that seismic and power capacity upgrades would be cost prohibitive although no data was provided to us and that connection. as i indicated, the department technology completed the anticipation on january 21st, so you have a situation where they're paying both the $90,000 for one market plaza plus an additional -- w

initially the transportation agency was the sponsor. in order to achieve construction efficiency they have agreed to let public works sponsor the project. advertise that the end of the month as part of a larger streetscape effort in an attempt to complete construction in december with most of it done in the summer to avoid conflicts with nearby schools. several around the community of reach district supervisors are on board. i would be happy to answer any questions. i would make note that we have the project manager here if you have any questions. supervisor campos: colleagues, questions for staff? i have a couple of questions. are there any similar requests that we can expect in the near future? >> i do not think that we have any on back. -- deck. supervisor campos: how did we get to this specific request? how was the process through which you determined when to ask for this kind of funding? why not here through other places? >> good question. this project was a list of projects included in the five- year privatization program with lar

we may have to put off initiation. we can put it on the calendar, but it may be continued. >> i believe that is a wise direction. i would strongly support you. initiation at this moment with a number of unresolved issues -- i think there will be more questions coming from the commission on particular aspects that i feel have not been touched on. i think that is the perfect lead in into working on the project in more depth. >> as long as it has been scheduled, leave it there with the thought that it may be continued. >> we will be prepared to present the two topics that were on tonight and leave the possibility for initiation on there. >> i am agreeable with that. we have had correspondence in regards to and have had presentations on both of the issues in previous hearings. we need to do it in more depth. they will answer many of the questions raised tonight. we sort of got the comments before we have the presentation. i think that would be very good. those of you who have concerns should come next week to hear the pres

that's the initial bill and with the initial bill it's always five. after the initial cost the bill is set and we have the option to send it to litigation subcommittee or city for referral. the department of building inspectors is over or under the litigation of subcommittees have cases tenth or sent to them and this is when the process becomes costly. we all know attorneys are not cheap no matter what you have to do. so in conclusion this is what we're trying obtain. abatement laws in the process. so the remedy for this is, code enforcement process can be avoided by avoiding these in a timely manner and doing them quarterly and functional sanitary housing soy would suggest to avoid all of this about right here, so the next speaker is housing speaker will talk about code enforce meant process in detail. >> i'm housing inspector with the abatement division. it led based session 3407 is regarding any activity to serve or remove lead paced paint on the exterior or interior of 1979 builds and structures and properties. the purpose of this ordinance is to

this evening the small business commission wants to take the time to reflect on a few key initiatives that have helped sustain the diverse economy of san francisco's small business, and that is quite a few. he co-sponsored legislation that -- and he established an economic development unit with the neighborhood initiative and the communities benefit district. we have seen the great results of the neighborhood marketplace initiatives, and it has been a critical program to maintaining commercial corridors during this economic crisis. in 2007, they created the small business center. the center has over 6000 clients, and for many of them, english is not their first language, and they would not be reaching out for assistance if not for the small business assistance center. he also raise the exemption for the first time in 20 years from 100,000 to 250,000. in response to the economic crisis, they have reactivated the revolving loan fund. they have 20 loans totaling about 400,000, and this year they have also established the central market loan fund, which is 11.5 million. due to the mayor's

in the preparation in the initial audit. and instead of having a five- year time in which the buildings would be audited, we could have a three-year time. i am comfortable with having the third time from around subsequent ruling audits -- to keep that at the rolling five years. i think the reason we need to do that is because we all know the inconvenient truth of the environment. we also know that what we are trying to do is we are trying to save money as well as save the environment. i understand this is a more aggressive timetable, but i think it is very doable. i think what this will entail is when this legislation passes, rather than having to wait potentially 6.5 years for every building to be audited once, we are really talking about ensuring an initial audit at the end of four years. i want to thank the various stakeholders. i have had conversations over the last few days with folks. i appreciate the flexibility. i understand there will be public comment about this and potentially other ideas, but this is what i would

goal lead towards they in their initial rescue mission to release those three ships but of course the difficult weather conditions might still to slow down the missional but more. of. your meterological enjoys conditions in the region remain the same that is very difficult. when does constantly blowing the only spray come during the ebbing tide . well experts are saying that the strong cycle that is approaching the area might still bring some more heavy winds but the russian transport ministry insists that the rescue operation will continue even at night time if that is necessary sometimes you talk about a strong cycle and possibly approaching the area we're talking about miles of ice deadly cold temperatures so are the people of us spend a week in extreme conditions at this point tell me how much danger could they be him. well the crew members are in no danger whatsoever because they are on the food water and energy supplies they have down there with them they could still spend another two months on those ships but of course that is not going to be the case because even if the rescue

was the point in your initiative then this initiative is necessary because the more removed the danger becomes the more complications we have. have with people who you fuse to get that sunni to you know the difference between a vaccine to medication or god when a person is ill he or she can be easily persuaded to take cyanide napsylate poison because the patient is ready for anything. when a person is well and when he or she's told. let's get you vaccinated as a preventive measure but please remember that there may be complications including high temperature allergic reaction or something even a worse he or she would see why should i am well this is the difference then when i was beginning my medical practice and if i had sat to mother let's not get your child vaccinated against. tetanus measles she would have been reached with me. because she could see that children develop reversible complications like polio for example if there are children who died before the very eyes of their mothers so it used to be a reality now that we have not had it for many years it's a usual reaction howev

commissioner antonini: initiate. >> second. >> commissioner borden? >> aye. commissioner olague? >> aye. >> commissioner miguel? >> aye. so moved commissioners that resolution gets developed unanimously. we'll return to the regular calendar for item 9 case number

the suspect was initially wanted for attempted to kidnap a stranger and alison son using a gun. this heinous crime testify the pursuit of the subject. the suspect's crimes showed a gravest threat to public safety. the suspect then fired repeatedly at officers. each of these officers had time to make a decision to put their lives at risk for the public safety. each of these officers could have made decisions to not join in on the efforts or to abandon their attempts to take the dangers of its critics suspect into -- custody. officer eleiff could have backed off the chase as a 1 person unit. officer stearns and sgt. kane could have done nothing. officer came and started o'malley also could have decided not to. each of these officers showed restraint in not firing their weapons where a suspect provocative action would normally end in shooting. these officers were awarded the gold medal of valor. [applause] >> a sgt. paine, who could not be here tonight, was also awarded the gold medal of valor. >> it is with great pride that we honor these individuals for their valor. every day, of

the stop american initiative -- the start up america initiative is all about connecting. building on the success of last year's challenge, a program with the department of commerce can put $6 million, which was matched by nih to put together a 12 million-dollar competitive grant program to reward teams across the country who are taking research out of the labs and getting it into the hands of entrepreneurs. this year we're repeating and proposing to repeat the i6 challenge. this money will be matched by other federal agencies including the department of energy and others. hopefully it'll be a $12 million program again. we are spurring the development of clean energy. the i6 challenge represents president obama's approach. local communities are identifying their own assets and prodding the resources that will help them build on those strengths and assets. it is the same thing that the commerce department has been doing to help cities and towns all across america, by funding regional innovation clusters. building on the strengths and assets of particular communities. our ec

i will be making a few initial comments on the budget memo and then turned over to tom, it will give you an update on the work plan and the budget. iand i'd like each of the managers to go of their individual work plans with you. we will keep this as short as possible. we have a budget expenditure and work plan. next time, and two weeks, we'll be talking about the revenue situation. the very good news i have is because of our revenues stabilizing and because of the excellent work by staff with respect to grants, we are in fairly good shape this year with the budget. we did not anticipate any cutbacks in particular or any layoffs, which we're very pleased about. you will see a bit of a hole here that we're projecting, but it is one that we think we can easily feel -- can easily fill. i just want to highlight a couple of the accomplishments on pages two and four of the memo. we're pleased and happy the department has done some reorganization in the last year, and we think we have an organizational structure now that really reflects both what is right for the department as well as the e

that compared this to the initial investment they would take in any other city-owned facility to locating things in 200 paul and still this came up as the best solution because it could not find another site. in evaluating the other cities, we could not find a site that was better suited. even if we have found the money, we would still be talking about if it makes sense. to go back to the conversation about going with a dual data center approach, i can highlight where the discussion is going. it is really is a long-term goal of the city to continue to reduce the need for space. there is technology that is evolving. the lease that we are putting in place has two ingredients. one is that we're able to exit police. we are not signing a 5-10, 20 year lease. the reason we're building the facility is that over time we will have a good site and we do have a strategy over time to move city equipment into a city- owned equipment. >> i have a number of questions. let's talk about the airports. when are we looking at that being completed. >> it that is 18-24 months. >> why are we not considering con

but it sounds like the process is going to allow us to and we're only initiating the zoning change. i would hope that as we move forward, we will have more information before we actually approve the zoning change as to some ideas about what might be built there. it may be just a sale. there may not be a project yet. i don't really know. i'd like to know a little bit when we goat that point. president miguel: commissioner moore? commisioner moore: this is one of those types of lots where one would require guidelines which particularly address turning off a corner and turning a way to transition into the next zoning. that is the one thing i would be interested in. and you also in this corner have a very difficult bus stop which is very crowded, heavily used and that bus stop really doesn't look. so this would affect frontage of the building on the rezoned lot. but i think if we're moving and supporting the rezoning we could spend a lot of attention to areas that is a drenstial, institutional neighborhood and that sensitivity needs to be very clearly shown to us before we move ahead wi

a number of initiatives. and i just thought it would be worthwhile to walk through some of those initiatives. we have successfully implemented an antique fair at candlestick park. we are in the process of creating a store at the beach chalet. we just had a very long conversation about implementing bike rentals in our parks. we have implemented special events at candlestick park. we're working on car share. we are working on a new stowe lake concessionaire and a very successful run with the peter pan experience at sue berman park, and working on a new concessionaire for coyt tower and many mobile food vendors in our parks. we have a new lease for portsmouth garage. just at the last meeting approved segue rentals in golden gate park. we've implemented a tourist fee for entrance to the botanical garden. we have very successfully implemented the outside lands concerts. we have a new lease with the pga tour at harding park. we are working on a pro shop at the golden gate park tennis courts. and we are increasing c

>> the two-year plan for consolidation has been endorsed and that would be initiated this january. we will be meeting tomorrow to discuss the updates. >> how concrete is this? >> this is as concrete as we can make it but it does depend on and level of funding. >> it is my understanding that say that they can do this consolidation in one year. >> we have looked for every way to speed up this time line. we have been asking vendors to help us. if we can speed up the time line, we are happy to do so. >> there are vendors to say they can do this in one year, right? >> yes. >> you will have to excuse me. for me coming in, a process did not make a lot of sense. back in 2008, why did we only get seven days? is that protocol? it seems unreasonable. it seems like that is why we only got two bids. >> actually, the request for qualifications, this goes through the computer store which has four vendors. what we do is that we usually put it out for whatever time period. we ask the vendors if they wished to bid on this and four extensions. it is not unusual for this to go by for a week or a month

commissioner fung: initially, -- 4-1. commissioner garcia: initially, it was 3-1, the tissue were absent, and then you voted. -- and you were absent. commissioner fung: if that is the case, then i think somebody should make a motion. commissioner hwang: i do not believe that the evidence is appear sufficient base the we saw. commissioner fung: we have no re-hearing request. vice president goh: we could continue yet again and ask evidence. for example, the public speake'' s photographs, and if we're going to do that, i want the date on the other photographs, as well. that is the possibility. commissioner hwang: furthermore, i take issue. there is no opportunity to cross, no opportunity to understand fully what was stated in the declaration, when we have an opportunity here to do this, so i think a re-hearing is what i would vote for. >> i think the real term would- be "re-opening." commissioner garcia: there are the objections i raised having to deal with paragraph four. even if they had done work before, they actually got

and what sort of things is,dwr, looking for to initialize those actions. i was trying think of the questions. but let me clarify my point. since up imup here about how their not paying attention, actually i think their paying a lot of attention. did i do better. my point there was when you talk about the california water community it's thousands and thousands of people all spread across the state in terms of what we're doing to integrate why mate change one is to make it a major part of the california update where we're already geared up to do it and the other is distribution under prop, 84 and we'll have workshops on how we can make this climate issue a preference or some sort of incentive of prop, 84 to get it in play there. in terms of governors matrix. we've already evaluated the carbon footprint to look at our issues there obviously we have a lot of hydro and some information i got this week, our portion of the carbon footprint is one half of one percent so we're looking at that issue to see what we can do with our power portfolio to manage that bette

we believe that through this initiative we can build stronger relationships in other areas. through conversations with director ginsberg, we have talked about how to leverage other projects and initiatives you are doing. i look forward to building strong partnerships with you. but also look forward to coming back to the commission to present the next community needs assessment. we have been working for months in going back to the community and saying we have done this and this and this. do you see other areas we need to improve or other areas we need to continue? i look forward to that conversation as well. i will leave the stage for the rest of the presentation, but if you have any questions, i will be here. president buell: thank you. >> it has always been the intention of the department to enter a more formal arrangement with the cbos providing programs for the use of these clubhouses. these will be revocable permits for them to continue to occupy and provide free recreational programs open to the public. ymca san francisco is in the excelsior clubhouse. the sunset beacon

what we are bringing is the initial agreement for professional services to both relocate and configure and network and get a space in the space. now that we're done with this, this is more of a realistic agreement and in the online space that is managed their turn to what we are bringing for you is one agreement where the equipment would be located and the other smaller agreement is really related to the connectivity to connect that centered out to the rest of the world and out to to the rest of the sitting at work. finally, we have been asked what does this mean in terms of the city. but as you are aware, we are one department out of money that has technology systems. the department of technology represents somewhere between a quarter of 30% of the total investment we have in the city. in parallel to the department of technology to better manage services and the network, we have been leading a parallel effort to look at data centers citywide have. what has happened is many of the larger departments and medium- sized apartments have tried to create their own data centers which creates
