mr. campos. supervisor david campos: thank you. i think it's really important for san francisco to lead the way which is why i didn't know what to make of the resolution as originally drafted. i think it's important for us to lead, i just didn't think the original language went far enough. i think it's important for us to be as strong as we can. with the amendments now i think i can support this resolution. i think it's important that we just don't call for a moratorium, but to call for a halt for fracturing and with the amendments which is a strong statement, i would like to be added as a cosponsor. president david chiu: thank you. if there are no other comments, can we take this item same house same call as amended, thank you. the resolution is adopted. >> which that madam clerk can you read the memoriams. >> yes on behalf of supervisor wiener for the late bobby baker. on behalf of wiener for the late miss catherine dosh and mr. avalos mr. michael stuart, for supervisor breed for johnson. president david chiu: do we have any furt

>>supervisor david campos: thank you, mr. chair. my thinking with being open and flexible with the rfp is i want to get to as many options as possible. one approach would be to include information with shell in the picture but also to include information with shell out of the picture so we have some comparison point. what i have said about shell is that i don't think for anyone of us who voted for this that shell was always the ideal partner, was always the best response. so as presented at that particular time. if there are options out there that are better that we have a responsibility to explore them. maybe one approach to have in the rfp to have flexibility to look at both to have as much information as we can. i don't know if you are open to that but that would be my thinking. >> okay. it's really up to your direction. i know when we had the meeting with the advocates there were some that wanted that flexibility. since it wasn't clear is why i brought it up. i just want to make sure how you want to approach that. i don't think

supervisor campos. >> thank you. thank you, mr. president. i want to thank the sheriff's department for all the information and i do want to associate myself with the comments from both supervisor breed and supervisor kim. i think, i think there is something fundamentally wrong with overcharging inmates. the question, though, for me is given that this contract is currently in place, i would imagine that we have an obligation to meet those obligations up to now. and, so, in that sense i can see why supporting an extension of the existing contract may seem -- may be appropriate. but i think that i would be inclined to support the idea of simply -- of not providing the additional extension so that between now and the time that this contract term ends, which is may, there is an opportunity to reexamine the issue and see if there is a different way of providing the service in a reasonably priced [inaudible]. >> so, i will assume at this point there are no amendments to this contract amendment? >> yes, i'd like to make an amendment that we -- so, t

mr. president. supervisor campos asked to be re-referred. >> thank you. i actually forgot to mention something. i want to begin by thanking the mayor's office for the work that they have done over the last few months and the last few weeks dealing with some of the changes at the federal level in the area of health care, and specifically the implementation of the affordable care act. and one of the issues that, that came up early on as the city and county of san francisco was deliberating on how to implement that was the compatibility of the health care security ordinance that we've had in place for a number of years with the affordable care act. and i want to thank the mayor's office and the work that they have done and the work especially that was recently done by the universal health council that, you know, came out with a number of recommendations and a very important recommendation which is a very positive development, is the underlying recommendation or finding that the health care security ordinance is consistent with and compatible with the affordable care act. the fact that we are imple

mr. givner, and that's seconded by supervisor campos. one question to supervisor avalos. i know he you submitted to us for the temporary evictions point both amendments to the residential dnc and nonconforming uses. i heard mr. givner read the nonconforming uses piece, but is the language you have or residential dnc, is that also -- [speaker not understood]. >> if i may, the document that was circulated, the language doesn't quite match up. so, i believe the amendment to adopt the changes that i have suggested parallel language in both ordinances. >> that's what i want to make clear. >> so that the nonconforming language, the very bottom of that section, will be the language that will be incorporated into the residential dnc section of that piece of legislation. thank you. >> okay. questions about the amendment. supervisor yee. okay, colleagues, can we take the amendments -- >> mr. president, i didn't catch the second. there was a motion made by -- >> by supervisor campos. so, colleagues, can we take the amendment to amend without objection? without objection, that shall b

. >> thank you, supervisor campos. mr. president. >> thank you, colleagues. i have three items for today. first of all, an in memoriam for rhonda bizan. rhonda was a san francisco resident who passed away tragically and very suddenly a week ago today. she worked at the punch cup, was a regular attendee of the sabot agnes catholic church and was the life partner of guardian editor stephen t. jones. rhonda died at the all too young age of 45. ~ she touched many people from many walks of life during her many years in san francisco. she is described by all as a luminous joyful spirit and loving friend. she radiated life brilliantly and her sudden passing has left many of in her community including steve jones as well as my aid catherine and many others in this city deeply mourning her untimely loss. a memorial gathering will be held at 1:00 p.m. on december 15th at the bently reserve preceded by service and reception at saint agnes beginning with the regular 10:30 a.m. mass ~ and the funeral will be on december 21st in los angeles. today i am joining the mayor, a

campos? >> thank you, mr. chair and congratulations i think that continuity is the key word and i think that we have seen an agency that has gone to a very difficult process, and it has done extremely well, in doing so and i think that it has a lot to do with the leadership and so i think that you have done an incredible work, but you have also worked very closely with the vice chair that has been very supportive and you know i served with supervisor and commissioner weiner on the mtc and i know that he is very committed to the issue of transportation. so, i am happy to nominate commissioner scott weiner to be vice chair. >> very good. thank you. >> so commissioners scott weiner has been nominated or is there a second to that? >> second from commissioner breed? >> and are there any other nominations out there for vice chair? >> and seeing none, we can close the nominations. >> and any comments from any from mr. vice chair weiner? >> thank you, chair avalos, and congratulationss on your reelection. i think that

>>supervisor david campos: thank you, mr. chair, i think it's the fact that rates were not approved doesn't necessarily mean that the puc still doesn't have an obligation to continue to do work on the program because as much as that issue on rates remains open, you still have a board of supervisors decision to proceed. and i think it's interesting that the proposed budget does not include any money for clean power because i think it's an interesting thing to see an agency introduce a proposed budget that has to be approved by the body that approved a program that they are leaving out of the budget. so, i think the board of supervisors certainly will have an opportunity at the budget committee when the budget of the puc is reviewed to make sure that the budget of that agency reflects the priorities that have been set out by the legislative body of the city, the board of supervisors. and i think that there will be a number of supervises who will expect that there will be an allocation of funding to continue with community choic

>>supervisor david campos: thank you mr. chair, i don't know if there could be a combined nomination. my nomination is to nominate you as chair and breed as vice-chair. >> i will second that. >>supervisor john avalos: okay. any discussion? commissioner breed, you are in accord with the motion? very good. okay. let's go to public comment. eric brooks, representing san francisco green party and local grass roots. just to comment commissioner breed has show

campos? >> thank you, mr. chairman. and i apologize but i have to step out of the meeting but i do want to before, you complete your presentation, i just want to thank staff, for all of the work that has been done and to echo the comments of my colleagues, mr. kennedy and others that have been doing this, and i was impressed with the level of community out reach that is being planned that has been done and i do want to get a specific copy of the plan that has been written for this effort. and the one thing that i want to under score is what i said at the meeting with the staff, i do think that it is important for us to reach out to certain communities, and the senior and the disabled community being a key community. and i would like to get more and input from them in terms of our my orty and the facing of this and i think that it is important to speak to young people and to include the school district and in this discussion. because i think that you know, their plans long term whether it is an assignment or a dramatic p
