>> from my contract with local power, i have a different view. i agree that it is a concern that we have had a three-month delay. the thing i really want to get to is the general manager harrington and the puc commissioners have been really strong on cleanpowersf. we finally got a strong local bailout component integrated into this program -- billed out component integrated into this program. we have been hearing rumors that the commissioner might be replaced on the public utilities commission. he is to be a director in the department of the environment, it is extremely strong on environmental issues and clean energy. with this program for building hundreds of megawatts at stake and with what we have been seeing in colorado and the rest -- and record heat waves, a lot depends on getting this right in san francisco. i would ask the commissioners of this commission, the staff, and anyone watching this hearing on tv, please contact the mayor's office and asked that we retain this very important environmental commissioner for the public utilities com

local hospitals were alerted some time around 1:00 in the morning local time, just about three hours ago. arriving on the scene, told hospitals to prepare for a "mass casualty incident," and that's precisely what we have here with 14 people dead. that number could rise with 50 transported to local hospitals. aurora, colorado, is a suburb of denver, about ten miles east. and as many people have pointed out this morning, not too far from littleton, colorado, where on april 20th, 1999, they had a mass casualty shooting of their own, as you all know. the suspect, again, is in custody. police say no evidence of a second gunman, but they're taking every precaution. they want to make sure they get everybody together that they can on the scene. they're interviewing really tens and hundreds of witnesses at this point. you heard a reporter from "the denver post" telling us they're giving out business cards to make sure they don't reinterview people. there are so many people on the scene. they want to know what they've heard. some of the eyewitness accounts we've heard, talking to media outlets

now what would like to talk to you about the process for the local operating subsidy approvals. eligible projects are permanent supportive housing that have been approved by the city-wide affordable housing loan committee which is made up of staff from moh, directors for moh, the department of public health, and human services agency. most staff prepares 30 pages plus evaluation that reviews and analyzes all components of the project, including design, construction, and/or its rehabilitation, as well as the operating phase. this evaluation is then presented to the loan committee for review, comment, discussion, individual approval. moh issues the first permanent supportive housing notice of funding available to provide capital funds in 2004, initiating construction or rehab of 300 units in at three different projects. those projects you have probably seen, because we had board of supervisors' action on them. the first was hotel ethics committee chp-sponsored project with 84 units targeted to single adults. then arnett watson at 650 eddy, 83 units, 36 targeted to single adults an

and local weather. how would you respond to concerns that changes and the retransmission consent regime could undermine quality, local programming. >> thank you for the question. first of all, retransmission consent, and there was more information on this and my understanding generally goes on some to the network that is changed where the network themselves and the major network may take some of that in the large part of the consent does not flow the local broadcasters anymore and that's the way it started, but now the national network would take a large portion of that, and second, of course, it is the broadcast model is a two-pronged model that the retransmission consent fees and also advertising fees and so they get it from two sources. the troubling thing is despite the fact that the retransmission fees have good-bye gone up to 200, 300, 400% since i started in this business and the localism and the local level has gone down from a local news perspective to cut costs and operate efficiently with the

because there is a regional regulation that says that all our local authorities need to have a local mobility plan. i heard this morning about a problem like neighbors complaining when things have to be changed and the whole debate that is coming up then. but i think we have it similar because it's our local mayors who sometimes are hesitating to put into practice -- that's one of the reasons why those cycling routes sometimes get stuck, because you have a regional cycling route, but local authorities, we have 19 in brussels, local authorities do have to give permits for that. there is a lot of criticism on that and i heard my dutch colleague say one hour ago, you can get stuck because at local levels people don't like it, although your regional plan is to be so good. that's true. on the other hand, i think that it's a good democratic process to really to go at the low-cal level and convince people why it's good to have those new infrastructureses. this is one of the typical, in old belgium towns you would find it now, it's the flow of cycling. it's what you do if you have a one-way

he quickly rose through the ranks and became a leader within is local. -- within his local. for the last nine years he has served with the iow and he does an outstanding job for us. the reason i believe he would be an ideal candidate for commission is that he would bring valuable -- invaluable whainsight to the position. willie's a man of great integrity and character. he is a free thinker. he does not always tell me what i want to year, but he tells the truth. -- what i want to cure, but he tells me the truth. i think he would do a fabulous job as a port commissioner. san francisco is undergoing a renaissance along the waterfront. it is important that we do not forget its rich history. there is also an opportunity for great bulk cargo at pure 80. -- at pier 80. thank you for your time. chairperson kim: any other public comment? seeing none, public comment is now closed. supervisor farrell: it was great to me you the other day. we have a great conversation. rarely do i get a chance to speak with someone that i was so impressed with. you are just a straight shooter and i know

this would give more control to the states and local communities. by authorizing schools and other service institutions to use program dollars from the usda food distribution program to make their own purchases of food from agriculture producers in their own communities. my state of north carolina, as ms. pingree has pointed out, already has a state-run farm-to-school program that allows schools to get fresh produce from farmers. while north carolina can be used as ray great example for the program's success, my hope is to see other states and school districts better utilizing taxpayer moneys while also helping their local farmers and ranchers. this amendment would enable schools participating in this pilot -- it is just a pilot -- to start getting even more food products from their own farmers and ranchers, instead of having to buy usda's entitlement foods. my amendment would authorize schools with low annual commodity entitlement values as ms. pingree pointed out, small, rural schools, to start making their own purchases. and in the long run, this

and the state governments in turn delegated to local matters which could be addressed locally. now, not every issue could be so delegated, tocqueville realized. one of the major events during his visit was the nullification crisis in which the south carolina legislature encouraged by vice-president john c. calhoun, south carolinian, declared that it had the right to nullify a tariff law passed by congress. president andrew jackson reacted furiously, moving tree was fond of his vice-president at all and he moved troops in place to enforce the law while drawing towards a compromised position on the tariff which addressed some of south carolina's grievances. tocqueville described some of this process in "democracy in america." tocqueville also coincided with another national policy that had a significant regional effect, and that was andrew jackson's indian removal policy, something he considered very important. the forced movement of what we now call the five civilized tribes over what has come to be called the trail of tears from the southeastern states to what is now oklahoma.

local business will be moving across the street from 25 van ness to 30 van ness. there is some real estate shifting going on. that will probably take until of the end of august, maybe sometime in september, but all the other functions, the legal functions, and the authorization functions i think are happening pretty smoothly. >> relating to that question, director, just one note about how is this information about this change being disseminated to the businesses and the different folks in the private sector and other sectors that would be impacted by this change? >> so far, we have not done a lot of outreach. we wanted to make sure you get some dates and times established. i addressed the local business enterprise subcommittee advisory committee, the hrc, last night and gave them as many details as we know and assured them that they would have some role in the city administrator's office, as was assured to me by the city administrator. at some point, there may need to be a more broad scale analysis, probably pretty soon because it was processes -- we have appeals

by local boards that would be analogous to the local draft boards that decided who would be drafted in world war ii. a system that continued in place until the draft was abolished in 1971. and i thought that was mistaken -- that was not -- i wrote that that was not a viable policy because on some issues local decision making was acceptable to americans of the 1940s. but by the mid-'60s, the local decisions by draft boards came to seem arbitrary, unfair because they weren't nationally uniform. as i've thought about it, the civil rights issue is the reason for both sets of feelings. in 1940s america as i said you had a south that was very different from the north and very separated from. northerners did not come for vacation in charleston, south carolina. the malreactors would not have moved from new york to charleston. there was a movement in the other direction. there was a u.s. district judge here, j. wearing. appointed by roosevelt i think. a member of the charleston elite. gave a couple of decisions in the early civil rights era. he was so ostracized by local society and perhaps thr

the local business preference still applied. what i cannot understand is why project staff decided to cater to large outside contractor interest and to increase the size of the project beyond $10 million. that seems to be exactly the opposite of what chapter 14b was enacted to do. the irregularities are such that all bids should be rejected for the sake of fairness. there has been some talk among staff that due to the facility being in such bad stage, there is no time for a rebid. i do not believe that is true. i think the commission owes it to the public to have the job rebid with a clean slate. i would instruct staff to follow through on their commitments. thank you. president moran: thank you. >> good afternoon. i am the president of monterey mechanical. first and foremost, i want to make myself available should there be any questions that i could answer. moderate mechanical has been an organization said been in business 70 years. we specialize in water and wastewater treatment plant work. this particular project, we have an
