lastly, the entertainment commission. they did a couple things. six plays permit do not relate as well because they are basically giving extended hours and live music permits to a place that will be there in perpetuity. our special events are usually just one day in a park and then broken down. those requirements are code- mandated. a part we do that a similar is when a permit a special events and give life music or those kinds of things. they also do e-mail blast, talk to the community group, and they do not get any mailings. everyone seems to be trying to get away from mailings. again, it is scalable based on impact and duration. however, the commission last year formalized and adopted their policy. they have been doing these types of things for years and years and years, but i just actually formalize them last year. so we will continue to work with those agencies, with the public, with our partner organization to refine, streamlined, and coordinate within the department our outreach policies. a couple of things we have identified that we would

lastly, again, sort of embarrassing some of the things that have been said regarding me. i feel like i'm following the footsteps of a lot of amazing people that have held my seat and my office like mrs. dufty and turk. all of us who understands what it takes to run a great city. a big round of applause for ed lee. ed this would not have happened today if not for ed lee. ed lee, thank you very much. [applause]. the only change today that i want to -- >> in this fabulously beautiful persidio national park and near golden gate and running like a scar is this ugly highway. that was built in 1936 at the same time as the bridge and at that time the presidio was an army and they didn't want civilians on their turf. and the road was built high. >> we need access and you have a 70 year-old facility that's inadequate for today's transportation needs. and in addition to that, you have the problem that it wasn't for site extenders. >> the rating for the high viaduct is a higher rating than that collapsed. and it was sapped quite a while before used and it was rusty before installed.

and lastly, i wanted to make sure that you were aware that staff furloughs are the way in which some of the budget gap was plugged, if you will, this year and we've been asked, obviously, through g.s.a. to make sure we let them know whether the office will be closed or minimally staffed the day before thanksgiving and then that week between christmas and new year's. and it is our intention right now to keep the office open on those days. we're always at minimal staffing, let me just say. so we'll continue to be staffed, but what that means eventually is that our office hours will remain the same, we'll be open for business and we expect to be fairly busy. those are times when we are generally also very busy because new year's is a big night for parties. so we'll be in the office. and with that i'm going to conclude my report and hand it over to inspector granelli. >> hi. first i want to say this is one of the best director's reports we've ever had, clear, concise and easy to follow along with. >> thank you very much for that. >> you're welcome. i just wanted to make a few comments, f

lastly, one -- an additional component of reform that we are announcing today has to do with the stopicauditing. which was an important component of the charter amendment that has been composed. the comp patroler is committing to convene a selection panel to select a new director who'll be tasked as serving as a liaison. the director of audit compliance will work with the comptroller's office. they will also work with the comptroller's city services auditor on all performance audits in each of the six division of the m.t.a. the first audit shall include a broad vover view and shall be updated. administration taxing and services division, the capital programs and the finance and i.t. division, safety and training ux sustainable streets and transit. from my perspective, we need to move immediately with m.t.a. reform. i don't want to wait until november. i think even if this measure were to qualify and get on to the ballot this november, it would be another step towards significant muni reform. from my perspective i'm prepared to move forward with this today. i will be asking to take my na

lastly, a drawing i do not think you have seen is an interior rendering. it really relates to the staff report talking about this being a welcoming space, a place for new local talent as well as well -- as well as more well-known groups. it is about a community having a place to go in san francisco. in summary, we believe this design on this site will be both at home in a hayes valley neighborhood and a part of the institutional family which exists immediately north within the san francisco city center. we believe that is unique in the united states and want to be part of it. the you have questions for me? president miguel: i have a number of cards on public comment. john caldwell, aaron levine. before you start, congratulations. >> same here. commissioners, i am the coordinator of the mayor's six debtholders group. i am delighted to be here today to endorse this great project, which will add to the arts and educational facilities in the city center and franklin street areas. i think this project has been well planned. as you can see from the presentation,

flooding, benefits provided to impactive communities, modified systems to adapt to climate change, and lastly achieving economic and environmental sustainability. we will move into the expectations for today's workshop. today we are focusing on goals and level of service. really, this is an improvement program and a capital program that is the result of the master planning process that occurred over the last several years, ruling in all of your concerns and conversations here at the commission, identifying how we will meet the challenges of the future. seismic issues, regulatory, sea level rise. we are not looking for project adoption but more endorsement for the goals of levels of service seeing the program through its 30 year life, guiding us as a plan project alternative and selecting other alternatives. those strategies provide the flow into the future. once again, this is our work sheet. this will be what we are following throughout the day. put together to make it easy so that all of the strategy is linked together with goals, levels of service, and proposed projects. you can essentiall

lastly, i would like particularly to acknowledge that what -- that none of what was read could actually be possible by only one person and i was merely the steward of an issue that chinese hospital had been founded for, which was access for care for health care what our people, and it is somewhat ironic, and i am pleased to be a health commissioner because back in the 1890's, did you realize that san francisco general did not accept chinese patients? i am pleased to say that today, i am making them do that. [applause] the issue of access has been that which has led almost all the work that i have done in my life. access for my patients, which i have been privileged to have the opportunity to serve, access for our community, from which we have been able to develop a program that has brought what i hope will be quality care in a culturally competent manner before they even thought about such standards, and access on the national level. it continues to be part of my passion. it sounds like i should be retiring, and i am going to bring this to my membership. it is really time to do that, bu

and lastly, students need to know about this. we need a way that we can advertise and sort of thing out of the box when it comes to the out reach for the program. this is something that is important, going back to the idea of affordable muni passes and access for the most vulnerable youth. >> they use commission looks forward to consulting with the services to make the plan successful. we thank you for taking the time to consider this issue. it can completely be a huge success. i would personally like to take -- it can really work. thank you. supervisor dufty: commissioner kim? commissioner kim: i don't know if you can put that back on the screen. we did not get copies of them. i am curious, are we distributing them in our charter schools as well? >> i did not hear? [inaudible] commissioner kim: do we sell fast passes at school? that is new information to me. >> i have not verified that. we can get more information about that, how it was done through schools. it can be very valuable. commissioner kim: one of the challenges is the

lastly the department is unaware of any public opposition to this proposal. this concludes my presentation. i am available for any questions. >> project sponsor. >> good afternoon commissioners. i am representing the project sponsors. there is little to say about this site expect for the fact that it is the only residential unit within at least four blocks that is located on the ground floor. the conversion to a commercial unit would bring it more into compliance of the master plan. as a footnote i would like to add that doctor fox and his wife have owned a dental office just a few blocks away from there at the corner of 25th and mission street. this is basically their lifelong dream after being there for over 20 years to be able to own nearby property they would be able to utilize as their main business as well. thank you for your time if you have any questions. >> thank you. any public comment on this item? if not, public comment is closed. >> move to approve. >> second. >> commissioner moore. >> can we get some instructions from the department relative to

it is getting crazy out there, so lastly, i would like to indicate, it was indicated to me that she did want to compromise. she would consider it after this argument was put together, so i am asking for a compromise, and we can all leave here with something. thank you so much. commissioner: what is mr. herrera willing to do? >> we are willing to cut the para pat-down -- cut the parapets down. we are going to cut them down. commissioner so it would be 21 inches? >> which will maintain. commissioner: so that would be 21 inches. >> 21 inches down, which will maintain the integrity of the roof, and it will not cost us a new construction projects and a disabling problem for the entire neighborhood. i personally feel, looking at what i understood has happened here -- does anybody else have any questions? president peterson: i am sorry 3 your time has been up. scott sanchez. >> i am sorry note -- i am sorry. your time is up. mr. sanchez? >> scott sanchez. the appellate has proposed all sorts of complex solutions that address the planning commission's decision, and the most recent submission by

lastly, the same blue bars, we stacked on top of that the need for the sewer improvement program. the cash-funded agreement portion, every year we are depreciating about $40 million of capital assets. on average, if you are cash funding what we are depreciating, we are neck-and- neck. depending on the goal, the most critical needs, at least you can see that over the next several years we are matching the annual depreciation with annual cash spending. the cash program over the next 10 years is projected to be able to fund at about $430 million. a significant number but much smaller than the $6 billion program that karen described earlier. what this means to the average water and waste water bill, if i could draw your attention to the bottom part of the screen, the dark blue portion. that is the average water bill. we ramped those rates up to pay for the upcoming cost. the lighter blue portion is if we stacked on top of the residential, business bill, the sewer program. $83 would be the total combined bill for water and waste water. if that were to grow through 2030, the projected c

lastly, i think the issue of comparative studies should not be underestimated. as we mentioned before, looking at the past compared to the future and what we believe the future is, again, looking at doing something about potential climatic change verses in case we don't do something about it, i think again, would provide a place for public communication and regulation process. >> thank you. yes? >> i'm with the hydrologist, barry wilson eluded to this, i think it's important to monitor what is happening and keep on that. the projection of trends is a good way to at least get a handle on something and also feedback can go to climate modelers and they can adopt their models if need be. that points toward more of a 50 year horizon more than a reasonable projection to make. it's nice to show it for a hundred years but that's pretty well mostly beyond all of our planning endeavors. there is a climate effort that was trying to be set up in 3 hundred stations and now it's scaled to one hundred. the energy commission is trying get another one in california. it's locatin

lastly, the zoo's attendants in may, which is above projection, and i thought actually i could take a break and grieve for a moment. unfortunately, june's attendance has come in below expectations, and overall, this summer's attendance is looking lower. our west portal business papers are reporting a 20% decline in their business, cut by the slow west portal rail project. this combined with the closure of the southbound traffic on highway, is making access to these two very difficult this summer. we are trying to explore alternative transportation methods for visitors as well as employee very cat -- various types of signage, as well as discounts, some of which you have just heard. thankfully, we will be closing this fiscal year with a positive balance, and now, i have finished my report. commissioner buell: thank you. questions? i was going to ask one question first, and that was it is my recollection that the early months of this year were not as good, either due to bad weather. in aggregate, are we running behind? >> we are likely to disclose our fiscal year as well. we were 3.4% de

need approval on those before we can finalize the financing of the phase one housing peace, and then lastly, more technically, the infrastructure piece will be on the plants, -- pklans, -- plans, which need to be finalized. president maxwell: what is our interest rate? >> our interest rate is likely to be 0%, because we have what is called soft get on the side on top of the project. -- soft debt. in particular, with the infill grant program, because it is not our money, and we are essentially the condit, our main goal is to ensure that, because we will be taking on some of the responsibilities that go to the state for that money and as a recipient, we expect that to be passed along to the developer, we are not looking actually to get that money paid back. korea a whole lot of additional housing money that we do have money on, and hopefully, over time, we will get it paid back from the available revenue. so, secondly, alice griffith, which, again, you're all familiar with the candlestick park phase one plan, which is winding down this month, and, of course, there are key components of approv

eliminate this unfair competitive advantage that can be had by using this unsafe practice cheery lastly, i will bring up the point of the enforcement issue this. we have regulations that are applicable where you need a one hour fire watch after the fire is completed, which is hard to enforce at the end of the day. one person is supposed to stayed behind to watch, but it is hard to enforce. you do not know if they had a permit or it was hard to get a permit. the letter that you have from the associated contractor, looking for clarification about the definition of noncombustible roofs to specify the details, putting a non proprietary customizable coating, drafting legislation to amend it and address. >> questions, commissioner? >> can you explain to the public a little bit the difference between a compulsion roof and a non compulsion roof. what is the difference? how would you describe -- describe that? >> a combustible roof is a wooden roof, it can be caught on fire with a torch. noncombustible might be an asphalt roof or a plastic or ceramic coating. the association of roofing contracto

recreational activities but also to teach students about the diversity that exists in our fair city, and lastly, a major goal of language in action is to provide teaching opportunities to first generation latina and chinese women. here is a sample morning schedule. as i said, the programs are half day and full day, but i just want to give you a sense for what happens with these youngsters' days. they teach language through recreation. that might include free play outside in the climbing structures, emphasizing motor activities -- thank you -- dramatic play, movement, art projects. there will be age appropriate skills in the areas of language, but also literacy. again motor skills, academic readiness, and i coronation, table games, seasonal project, so it is a very well-rounded preschool program for the students. the lease provisions provide for about $28,000 a year annually for the there would be small areas that would be cordoned off for 81- hotwo 1-hour times per day. the bathrooms will we made unisex. there are a few least amendments. the lease will be amended to read july 7th. monday throug
