it is not a limitation on expenditure. any legal expenditure could be made by staff to deal with any necessities they would have. there is nothing in here that would change that. it sets an objective. and then the second sentence deals with budgets. * okay, not with expenditures during the year to respond with emergencies, but the budget. so, we're planning how we're going to spend money. in that case if we're planning to spend at a rate that is higher than inflation, we owe an explanation to ourselves and to everybody who pays rates. >> [speaker not understood]. >> yes. >> commissioner vietor has articulater. all right, any other comments or public comments? i know [speaker not understood] had a comment here. so, let's make sure we have a motion in front of us first. >> i moved it. >> moved and seconded? >> second. >> second. the motion is before us. >> david filcoff. thank you for the discussion. i'm excited about this policy. i get very excited about commission policy. i may be the only one, but hey. so, i was -- >> car

first off, we are a limited use bank bran. . we are not a full bank branch. the other institutions * that were described are national banks. we are community banks. we are a community bank based here in san francisco. with our branches here in san francisco and one in burlingame. for six years i have tried to lease out this space. i have had gladys real estate and cb ellis try to rent the space out. i had one offer from a company called cheaper cigarette. and because of my neighborhood, because i get involved in other neighborhood groups, i could not lease that space out to a cigarette vendor. and, so, i've had no other offers in that many years. and then i've had no offers for the last three years since that offer and it's just sitting there vacant. i did, even before the fire, i did know there was a need for a community room on west portal avenue, not only for the merchants, but for the greater west portal neighborhood association was looking at a space their board can meet at. and i also offered that space to other community groups who do need that. and we

we are proposing that the cost limitation be limited -- excuse me, that the use of that risk management fund, that $4 million, be applied as it is today, but also be available to us to meet this rps requirement. it would be -- allow us to use those funds, modest amounts of those funds, minimizing the need to raise rates on -- to customers in future budget years. it's really a safety valve to make sure that our compliance doesn't push costs up unreasonably. president torres, you alluded to the timeline. let me put it up on the screen here so that you can see more specifically where we're at. >> right, that's good for the public to see that. >> yes. >> my other question is in terms of the rps eligible, the renewables, what percentage are we looking at in terms of renewables? we have solar, wind -- >> right. so, now our resource mix is our biogas, our hydro and solar. >> okay. >> and because we have this separate section of the rps law, we don't have to procure beyond those resources except very infrequently. and we are proposing that that procurement be from renewable energy credits. >> s

the idea was to have term limits, recommendation was too strong a word. co-chair shall serve a maximum of two terms. does anyone want to make a motion? if not, the bylaws can stay as they are. >> chair: why do we break down the proposed amendments one by one. article 3a, proposed amendment that cochairs can serve a maximum of two consecutive terms. we need a motion for approval. a second and then we have discussion. >> i will like a point of clarification. >> chair: councilmember supanich. >> does that prevent someone from taking off a term and coming back? >> the bylaws would be silent and would not prevent someone from taking a year off as currently written. >> all right. >> chair: because it says "consecutive". >> right. >> chair: councilmember wilson? >> councilmember wilson: is that four years? two. >> i would like to make a motion to adopt it. >> i will second the. >> chair: co-chair james/ ? okay. we had two questions. i have a question. we have not had a motion to approve is yet or a second. did we? who made a motion to approve? co-chair james, co

it was just limitation on the hours of operation. so with in a, i think they had set up an appointment time for an intake for the conditional use authorization amendment. however, they showed up and decided they did not want to pursue that and probably feeling that something was fundamentally unfair with the fact that they had done their due diligence and relied on city records and can certainly understand that. they were informed of the enforcement process and what that would entail. so we noticed a issue of violation penalty. they made a zoning administrator hearing request, which is part of the due process rights. it is a hearing that i hold with the appellant and other parties. and we listen to additional arguments. we had that meeting on july 10th, and i expressed at that hearing that it was clear that the department had made a mistake. i expressed sympathy to the appellant and even stated in our final notice of decision, i think this -- like i said, this is a place where the city did make an error. however, while it would be --

and we just would like to have what i would say -- i call it reasonable limits. we know we're not living in the suburbs or we wouldn't be living where we are, but also we don't think we should be totally run over by the forces in the city, which is money and finance, and you know, people who want to make money without regard for any other considerations. all we're asking them do is to obey the law as we understood it. there will not be excessive noises and close at midnight and there would be some kind of regulation or attempt to maintain a good establishment. a few years ago, especially in 2008 -2009 the neighborhood was totally quiet. the reion is just cut out all the street noise, all of the traffic and all of the bars and everything else. and so it was very quiet. but now the activity has come back into the neighborhood and that is good. we know it's good for the city, but every friday and saturday i say to my husband we're going to be up late tonight, between 12 and 2:00 it becomes excessive and sometimes it goes on until 3:00 in the morning. it's a little r

bonus, again, that would be limited circumstances. and that for those specific projects, the scope of the reporting be severely limited in scope. thank you. >> is there any additional public comment on this item? okay. seeing none, the public comment portion is closed. commissioner antonini? >> i have a question, ms. hayward, first, for the modifications. if i'm reading this right, the legislation calls for an initial filing by all post secondary institutions that provide student housing with an inventory of all their existing housing on and off campus. is that correct? >> [speaker not understood], yes. the legislation requires an annual report to be filed by all institutions, yes, or people who control student housing. >> right. but then i thought i heard with your modification would be the annual report would not be as extensive as it was. they'd only have to file a paper saying that there were no changes. is that what you're proposing? >> just to clarify, the department's recommendation is slightly different from what [speaker not

they face the same limits as drivers.ore than 4100 polish bicyclists are behind bars for cycling while drunk. in germany, zero. the authorities in poland route to get them, like here in krakow. they hope the police improve their statistics on the number of crimes they have solved. many cyclists are angry. >> insane. people of drug dealing get on a bicycle path won't have major accidents. -- people who have dunk beer get on a bicycle path and won't have major accidents. >> the notice a somewhat dodgy rider. bingo. the machine displays 1.4, 0.28 blood alcohol content. he faces at least a year in jail if he finds a mild-mannered judge. it could be more. >> the man is drunk, but he still got on his bike and wrote on the street without a light. this proves these kinds of cyclists are huge risks. tragedies happen in a flash. >> one person knows this firsthand. the photographer was pushing his bike when police stopped him. six months later, they got him again with 0.1 blood alcohol content. >> i lost everything, my job, my new a

not only are we limited to 120 million reimbursement cap but further limited to pay back that cap with these three sources. even if those three sources don't necessarily add up to 120 million, we are only limited to using those three buckets to repay it. ris subpoenaing on warriors. if what ends up being the value is not quite 120 million. >> that's correct. >> okay. thanks. >> key provisions is the concept -- separate concept that we may agree on other improvements by warriors and other mechanisms, codified in the term sheet. one exciting example is relocation of station 35 from piers 22 down to piers 30, 32 and moving fire boats and stakes. i have assistant chief ken lombardi to say a few words about this opportunity. >> assistant chief lombardi with the san francisco fire department. the fire department has been looking at our facility at pier 22.5 for quite sometime as the piers behind have become dilapidated. most will notice as you are walking down embarkadero near the fire boats. we are looking at a project a year now where they will rebuild that and build a new pier out the bac

because we all have limitations. and sometimes it's just visibility. we actually have on our web site 50 short films and one of them is a muslim student from a school in fremont going to a school in arinda talking about what it's like going to school as a muslim in the united states and they are asking questions and you see we are all kids in school and we have more similarities than differences. i think by partnering there are so many ways that we can spread these ideas because ultimately we're talking about a cultural shift. so we're all limited by our financial resources and by who knows about us, but as we partner together and i say this to all of us in this room because that's basically what rick is challenging us to do is to not let this day stop here but walk out of here and work together to make differences. the bay area can really be a leader in that way. >> partnerships and resources. anyone else want to raise a few other ideas regarding limitations? >> yeah, the schools again are driven by i think 3 things

limit on government the limit is what thomas jefferson said when one when spencer rowan asked him well if the supreme in after the marbury vs madison case needs you know three and and he said you know if the supreme court is not going to have the say in what the constitution means who does and jefferson said the people themselves the limit is that when when when congress goes crazy you said were a democrat were a republican a constitutional republic actually we're we're a constitutionally limited representative democratic republic because and i say democratic because it's majority rule and so if we reach the point where our elected officials are not doing what we want we vote them out if it didn't do that in two thousand and ten i mean we will act as if the democratic liberal wing of the party has had this mandate for five decades to spend their money they were routed in one thousand nine hundred they were routed in one thousand nine hundred four they were routed in two thousand and ten they were. routed in two thousand and four when we shouldn't have been because frankly we didn't run

restaurant, and the proposed use is a limited restaurant, and if you see on this permit crossed out on the bottom of the permit is change of use from coffee shop to full restaurant so we go from a art gallery to a coffee shop to a restaurant with no notice to my clients the adjacent property owners. it's my belief the board should grant jurisdiction to have this permit and application heard at the same time of the one that was filed in may and before you in december. there is no harm before the plblghtant because the project is before you at that time. it's on hold because of the appeal. we believe it's important so the full board can make a decision with all the information before it and clearly a failure of notice in this situation. >> counselor, what is the other appeal? what is the nature of the permit on the other appeal? >> i have that actually in front of you and that was to install a hood to accomplish the food preparation that is intended in this restaurant, so that hood is -- the feature that completed the conversion from the gallery to the coffee shop to the restaurant. w

a limited political cancer. this is the problem for which the world has suffered througut the ages. though meant to be eliminated, 100% sacrifice of the principle that would be tyrants find irresistible. it is used vigorously though incrementally and insidioly. granting power to government officials always proves the adage that power corrupts. once government gets a limited concession for the use of force, because of the state erosion and steady move forward tyrannical government. only aolutionary spirit can reverse the process and deny the government this aitrary use of aggression. there is no in between. sacrificing a little liberty for imaginary safety always ends badly. today's mess is a result of americans accepting option number t, even though the founders attempted to give us option number one. the results are not good as our liberties have been inverted, our wealth has been consumed. the wealth we see today is based on debt and a foolish willingness on the part of foreigners to take our dollars for goods

but we do live in a time of limited resources.en it comes to what is the best and most effective way of using those limited resources, not that enforcing nudity laws is not important, but on the scale of how important it is relative to violent crime, i think that the focus should be violent crime. and i do fear that, if this law is passed, that the limited resources that, in this case the mission station has, are better spent focusing on preventing violent crime in other parts of the district. happening in the castro, not to minimize the seriousness of what's going on, but we do have government. we have to make choices in terms of what our priorities are. and until we get to a point that we have the level of staffing of our police department, where in fact we have the bodies to do everything that>q= needs to be e around community policing, i don't believe we're at the point where we can say that this becomes a priority over the violent crime that is happening in some parts of this city. that is a very real concern that i have. and

they said put the debt ceiling into this, put the debt limit, you're going to raise the debt limit and get that done as part of this deal. i'm not hearing that, and i want to get your take on it. should they put the debt ceiling increase into this deal, get it out of the way so moody's and s&p won't downgrade us again? >> of course they should. a mistake not to do that in 2010 when they extended the tax cuts for two years. you cut your revenues but you don't raise your borrowing limit. that was a mistake. of course, we should do that again and get it out of the way. >> do you think that if we don't we're going to take more credit downgrades? everybody is talking about moody's because they can't do it the last time. s&p is still out there. do you think there's a risk of a credit downgrade which really hurt the stock market, the stock market last year? >> yeah. i think there is, but i would hope it's attached more to the balance, whether we get a balance of taxes and revenues, revenues and spending cuts. i think if -- if the rating agencies see some real substance there, if wempro our fi
