it does not show predicted sea level rise. it shows how much the level of the bay has risen over the past century. since 1900, the bay waters have risen 7 inches. and we at bcdc have been monitoring this increase for decades and we have been especially concerned because ground elevation, particularly in the south bay, is sinking because of ground water extraction. so even if there's no sea level rise, we expect more flooding as the low-lying areas continue to sink. therefore, over 20 years ago we published a report warning of a dangerous sea level rise in the bay area and the predictions that we made then have shown, unfortunately, to be pretty accurate. it's happening. so, for us in the bay area, reports about sea level rise don't belong in the science prediction section of the library. they belong over in the history section. it's happening here. the same california climate change report i mentioned predicts sea level increases of between 4 inches and 3 feet, 1 meter, by 2100. now, since the bay has risen 7 inches in the pas

leveling off and declining. there's a lot of inertia in the system. we all have cars and you can't change power plants overnight and et cetera, et cetera. but in fact the earth response to climate is not going to make too much difference until about the middle part of the century between all those scenarios. through 2050 a climate model is sort of a climate model no whatter what you do with it. in fact if you stop all , co2 emissions today. fossil fuel is the reason it's increasing because fossil means it's stored in the ground and now we're putting it in the air and burning it. it's recycled by the ecosystem and so forth. if we stopped everything today, it's estimated there's another half degree and full degree of warming in the system because the earth is not in a balance. that's why we're warming up. we are gaining more heat from solar radiation than infrared, the reason is it's being intercepted by the ozone and others and it's a little more than a watt per square meter right now. but in the sort of mid rang

level 1, level 2, and level 3. keep in mind these are not san francisco penal codes or charges. we went through those matches and determined which charges would fit through those catagories based on a list that ncic provides as different sections. ok. you're on the last slide there. this slide shows the level 3 reporting. one of the questions that came up in june was a charge -- charge 8525 one u.s. code. nobody knew what it was. i'm still not real certain, but it has to do with the rebookings when someone is already detained on another type of a charge and it needs to be added. this charge needs to be added. they relive scan it. so we identified it almost as a duplicate booking. commissioner dejesus: i am looking at numbers 1 and 2, but are there numbers attached? >> you will see the numbers attached here in a moment that shows the quantities. this just shows the aggregate charges so you knew which kind of charges were being evaluated for each type. commissioner dejesus: ok, thank you. >> so oftentimes those are added in scent -- subsequent charges that made our numbers look la

it's data that clearly shows a historical trend of rising sea level. there's just no doubt about that. and on the left-hand side of the picture i wanted to represent at the far left the transport storage structure, the bay would be on the right side of the dark blue bar and the dark blue line, the gap represents the weir. that's where the overflow point would be. if we progress on with our projections of where sea level is going, the horizontal red bar represents the lowest elevation of our current weir structures. if we look at ipcc projections, for example, of where tides are going, it doesn't take too long -- not too many years, maybe about 2013, 2014, we get to a point where at peak tides we have very regular occurrences of bay water actually topping the weir and coming back into our system. the bad news is we actually see this happening now. the photo on the left is that same structure you saw discharging in a previous slide. the weir structures are the slots underneath. the lower right photo you are seeing a high tide that is actually not happeni

at every level we match or exceed the state level in english language arts and math.how do we compare to other urban districts in the state of california? we are higher than the other urban districts, though san diego has matched us in english language arts. in math we are still definitely the highest as compared to the state.

my concern would be how many level 3s are being arrested, and what is the background behind those level 3's? i think we can cut down a a great deal of work. if we focus on the commission, we could report very regularly, and not spend as much hours. >> i would like to offer a suggestion. thank you, chief, for yir feedback. i would mete with gordon, if that's ok with you, chief, and come up with some ideas. >> ok. blash mash anything else? -- mack president marshall: anything else? commissioner kingsley: this is an important issue. >> it is an important issue to fwaur the information and what to look at. >> i'm sure commissioner chan and you have tailored it somewhat, with you oh, -- but when there is something new, hopefully we can continue to tream line it. i do appreciate the number of hours going forward, and hopefully we'll be able to cut back on some of those hours. with the new avis maybe it will be easier to doom in on this type of information. the other states are important as well. commissioner dejesus: i think it is important that we do this. commissioner hammer: so they formal

at every level we match or exceed the state level in english language arts and math. how do we compare to other urban districts in the state of california? we are higher than the other urban districts, though san diego has matched us in english language arts. in math we are still definitely the highest as compared to the state. so as we feel the pride over these results, we must also always remember that when looking at our african-american students as compared to other urban districts districts of -- urban zrinths, we have the lowest performance, and we should be mindful of that trend. >> the state closed the achievement gap with regards to its latino students but did not do so with regards to its african-american students. in math the state did manage to close the gap -- narrow the gap i should say -- with both the african frown and latino students, just like us. and the last slide, we have been brainstorming with different principles. what could be some of the reasons for our success? we took one pattern, which are the math gains that we are seeing, and tried to br

one, and level two, the deck for level two, that will commence in october. we are on schedule. the other update that i want to bring your attention to today is that we went back to the planning department for the encroachments surrounding the site, and there is a narrow strip along the length of the building, and when we brought it up, we were really pleased to get such a positive response to them, and we found out that it extends for several blocks, and it has been built over on every single block but this one, so it is in conformance with that. these are on the east and west ends of the building. >> the number of children that can be at the child care center is directly related to the play space. we have enough indoor space, but outdoor space per child was a problem, so if we can block off more of that street, we can have more children. commissioner: not to get into too much of the micro design, but it would be great if you could look into some garden some planting area, that some sort of natural space be put in as part of the child care planning. >> it wi

there are three levels of reserve officers. levels one, two, and three. level one is the highest. to be at -- a level 1 reserve officer, you must complete the basic academy entry level training that sworn s.f.p.d. personnel also received. many attend other academies. and ca qualify to do so. there is an oornation in san francisco -- there is an orientation in san francisco for those officers. bi-annually they will also attend similar to what we do as sworn officers. >> i just have one quick question. >> if patrol specials are out on the streets, what type of training does the san francisco police officer have when he or she is out on the street. how many months do they spend in the police academy? >> i believe it was six months at this point. >> and once they are out of the academy, how much time do they spend going through field training program. how many hours do they do in that program where they ride along with the training officer, and they are graded on a daily basis and they are graded for their termination or to keep in the police department. how many hours or months of fi

it's not necessarily directly related to the budget issues at the state level. commissioner avalos: in terms of longevity of funding for this beyond that time, is there a long-term plan about how this type of service will be continued? >> management will be if you can sess isful incorporate into our efforts to seek grant funding for the position. probably through additional state or homeland security funding. commissioner avalos: so then we would expect there will be overall the state and federal level there will be funding that could go for this. we have to apply for it. >> that's what we are hoping for. that's the expectation they'll continue the program. commissioner avalos: just relative to other counties, areas, is this -- >> we are assuming this goes one of five jurisdictions that were selected. i think los angeles, san diego, riverside, and/or rang county. i think we are the only one in northern california selected commissioner avalos: great. ok. if there are no other questions from the panel here, thank you for your presentation. we'll open this up for p

there is no change in our projected completion date at the regional level. we are still planning to complete the regional program by the approved date of december 15, and calaveras dam project is still our last project to be completed. we are forecasting an overrun on the local program of $35 million, whichuvbq$ is $3 milln more than the cost overrun reported last quarter. the additional cost here is due to additional scope to the san francisco website recycle water project. as far as scheduling a local extension or delay of 13.3 months comparedz the approved schedule, and this is due to the san francisco west side recycled water project. if you take all the water projects out of the equation, we will complete our local projects 13 months earlier in october of 2014. lÑ new chart that we included that compares the wsip total forecasted cost over time, and that is shown compared to the program approved budget shown in red. this chart includes both local and regional programs, an can see that for the last three months, we are trending -- our forecasted cost is

this is why the issue of global warming and sea level rise has been seen as an environmental justice issue internationally and nationally from the very beginning by some people who are thinking about the social implications of all of this as well. because we're not just talking about some abstract way of assigning dollars to a particular geographic area, we're talking about neighborhoods and people that will be sacrificed or at least not receive the same level of attention as others will. and in the urban areas where we tend to have the greatest extremes of wealth and poverty and of neighborhoods that are -- facilities that are absolutely -- that absolutely must be protected at all costs versus areas that are more marginal, this is going to become a very contentious area for debate at the political level. similarly, when we talk about the amounts of money that are going to be invested don't sound maybe that huge right now, but an on-going and going forward basis they are gigantic investments that we are talking about and those are not necessarily the glamorous investments to be makin

level landings: the building code says it should be level so you can come to a stop when you get in the door. that can often be a problem in san francisco where the sidewalk is existing and it's hard to have fully level landings. this is moderately compliant with those requirements, looks pretty good, and this is actually a fairly good installation. look at the door hardware, that's that loop hardware. great hardware for a door. hardware is cheap. look, here is a non-complying lever hardware i will talk about. hardware is relatively inexpensive. we just bought this lever hardware, it's a whole lot better than a round doorknob for a lot of people. doesn't matter if you are blind or me. my mother, who is 84, cannot grab a doorknob. the code says you should not be providing hardware that needs to be tightly grasped, turned or pinched. so this is good. lever hardware is good because you can hit it and move it and pull it or push it. this kind we see here, this loop hardware, is extremely good for that. the reason this is not compliant, anybody know? it's in the state fire code. it's not in

i move forward with the design, ideally bringing it down to the floor level. that way there is proper clearance in the back. that would seem to be what is right. we can put something in the ballot, in the charter that this would be the president's spot. you don't say that you trust future administrations, they can put another million dollars of work to redo it or change it. all sorts of things. what about taking up the steps? -- out the steps? >i might be overestimating my climbing ability. >> the concern about simply removing the steps is financial, that is not the expensive part of this. there is nothing that would prevent any president from a newly accessible design 14 inches. supervisor daly: i am recommending a charter amendment. >> with the design will have presented, the president and the clerk could still set at the desk if that is what they chose. they would not need to use the podium. supervisor daly: i am saying i don't want that torus available. >> i thought you wanted to the president and the clerk -- and supervisor daly: to be on the same level.
