chairman murphy: yes. >> so, president murphy? chairman murphy: yes. [roll call] >> once again this motion carries on a vote of 4-1 that means that the contract for capps is extended until november 17 and will be discussed again at that time. chairman murphy: ok. next item. any public comments on this? i see none. >> ok. we are now on item number 6, update on how d.b.i. determines permit fees charged for planning services. >> good morning, commissioners. the planning department has a fee schedule for permits. and the actual planning department determines -- it's based on the vamation of the job which is determined by d.b.i. -- the valuation of the job which is determined by d.b.i. we charge these based on their fee schedule. chairman murphy: does d.b.i. determine what plannings' fees are? >> no, we don't. planning does their own nexus study and set their own fees as does every other department. we collect the fees for planning. but we don't determine the amount of the fees. or the fee charge, what the fee is based upon. chairman murphy: ok. so we just

chairman murphy: ok. >> we don't have a second on either motion. chairman murphy: can we vote on the first? do i have a second on the first motion? >> you don't have a second on either motion. commissioner hechanova: knox i seconded the first. >> could you repeat the first? chairman murphy: table it until our regular november meeting. which i believe is on the 17th. >> and a second by commissioner hechanova? commissioner hechanova: yes. >> ok. we'll take a roll call vote. [roll call] the motion carries on a vote of 4-1. so this item is tabled until our meeting on november 17. ok. we can now go back to item number 5, which is update and discussion on how the department of building inspection and the department of public works are working to improve communications around the permit process. chairman murphy: director? director day: i'm not quite sure what you want to hear on this. i work with all the department heads from all the departments on the permit process. and we are working as we put the r.f.p. toge

chairman murphy: yeah. director day: actually, now, since july 1, we're actually sending out all of the plans to all of the departments within the first -- at the time they're submitted. that's one of the reasons for requiring the eight sets of plans. so we're getting back the responses from p.u.c. within the first 30 days if it's not over the counter. so everyone is responding back to us within 30 days. chairman murphy: does p.u.c. have staff on the fifth floor? do they have a desk there? >> yes. they have two desks there. they actually have staff. they're actually located -- their working area is on the fourth floor. so there are two full-time p.u.c. staff members at d.b.i. and have been for years now. it's just, you know, -- they're also on the same position we are. they are the furlough days they have to consider. and one is normally stationed at the fifth floor. or can be available at the fifth floor if they're working in their office. they have a way to call them. chairman murphy: right. commissioner

president murphy: any comments?like we hear this report every month since i've been around here, five or six years now. we never get any closer. any public comments? seeing none. next item. >> item 3d, update on d.b.i.'s role in response to emergencies. director day: yes. i've had several meetings with the department of public works regarding the roles that some of of their engineers and architects will play in the event of an emergency in a callout. i'm also going to be meeting with h.s.a. and the mayor's office of housing regarding their role in response to emergency callouts. we will also include the department of emergency management in that meeting so that we're all on the same page about where people report to in the event of an emergency and how different priorities are going to be handled in the e.o.c. center and rdoc center regarding all buildings for the city and county of san francisco for which we are responsible for as the building department. so whether it's private and public in the event of an emerge

chairman murphy: so november would be ok? >> probably. chairman murphy: november 17? sorry. commissioner? >> i'm not sure. since it's been such a long process, i'm not sure why we wouldn't just vote to extent the contract until december 31. it seems a little bit a waste of time to postpone it until november 17 which would then allow the staff only a month time. chairman murphy: well, let's extend it -- let me restate my motion. let's extend it until our october, meeting. commissioner lee: this is our october meeting. chairman murphy: no. we have a regular meeting, i believe, ann? >> we have a regular meeting scheduled for the 20th. but you'd need -- depending on what items we have. chairman murphy: commissioners? >> president murphy and commissioners, i just want to weigh in. i received a bit more information about the way in which the contract is structured and the payment. one thing to take into consideration is that in order for the contractor to receive ongoing payment for their invoices and the deliverables going forward, they would need to have a contract extension. so

president murphy: thank you. next speaker, please. seeing none. >> item number 5, update on community action plan for seismic safety, capss. president murphy: mr. tobin was supposed to be here? >> i'm not sure what happened. i'm not sure if he's coming or not. president murphy: can we table that until the next meeting? >> sure. we'll continue it. the next item, item 6, discussion and possible action regarding proposed legislation file 101075, an ordinance amending the san francisco building code by amending section 107a .13 to modify the method of calculating the development fee deferral surcharge rate and to clarify when a project sponsor may elect to defer the payment of development impact and in-lieu fees, adopting environmental finding. director day: yes. this is to clarify smishyuse in the legislation that has already passed. and the method that they had originally determined to calculate the interest rate was not acceptable to the actual tax collector's office and was almost impossible to calculate. so they developed a simpler m

president murphy: thank you. next speaker, please. >> could you reset the clock, please? president murphy: three minutes. >> thank you. good monch, -- morning, commissioners. coalition for responsible growth. i just want to make a few points and try not to regurgitate some of the points that have already been made but lend my support to say there is an overwhelming opinion on them. the first thing, director, getting back to one of the points you made about some department heads not being at the meeting because of other commitments. i would like to suggest that directors at your level in the various different departments would actually consider this meeting that takes place once a month as one of the ones that doesn't get off the calendar and is placed there above all other things because i think that this particular immediate ian and venue is a very, -- medium and venue is a very valuable opportunity to produce a lot and give great exposure to the public about what the department is doing for the people that agai

president murphy: please do. commissioner lee: the 17 seats for code advisory are reserved for people in these categories. major project architect. small project architect. historical preservation architect. someone from the commercial property owner or manager. major project structural engineer. mechanical engineer. electrical engineer. fire protection engineer. small project civil engineer. major project contractor. residential project contractor. remodeling contractor. disability access advocate. general business community member. three public at-large members. that is 17 seats. the two seats we need to appoint on access appeals commissioner reserved for two people with construction experience who are contractors. the 10 seats on the board of examiners are reserved for one archite architect, one structural engineer. one mechanical engineer. one electrical engineer. one fire protection engineer. one general contractor. one plumbing contractor. one electrical contractor. a high-rise sprinkler building owner. som

president murphy: ok. any comments? commissioner walker: i want to thank the director for putting this in writing and khaeufrg our situation. -- clarifying our situation. i think all of us have responded and heard members of the public who are at the effect of these changes without knowing about it until it is too late and that creates a lot of problems for our process. i appreciate this notice and process being delineated. i think it will go a long way toward resolving some of -- we heard from jose morales who has experienced too late a number change in his apartment and i think this is a really good resolution. i want to thank you for that very much. and the department. president murphy: further comments? public comments? mr. morales. >> do you want the overhead? president murphy: it looks like we have quite a few speakers so i will be real rigid on the lee-minulee tka- lee--- three-minute rul--- thre- three-minute rule.--- three-minute rule. -- three-minute rule.-- three-minute rule. three-minute rule. three-minute r

president murphy: we have a second? >> we do. >> all those in favor signify by saying aye. >> aye. >> opposed? motion carries unanimously. we can move to item number nine. update on implementation of the q-matic numbering system at d.b.i. >> as part of our business process re engineeriengineering that was made several years ago, we are finally beginning to install the q-matic numbering system that will expedite the routing of customers to different plan check stations based on the anticipated wait time at each station. so, if someone is waiting in line for a building plan checker and the wait at the fire department is shorter, they will actually be routed to the shorter department but will not lose their place in line for the building department. it is an automatic queueing system similar to what the treasury and tax collector has, d.m.v. it was something again suggest bid the b.p.r. committee many years ago, and it is in the process. we are installing the equipment now. the tv monitors you see on the different floors a

president murphy: thank you. any further public comments? >> welcome, commissioner. >> thank you. my name is bobby. i'm an architect. i very often take projects through myself because i like to really be familiar with how things are working and how we can get permits more readily for our clients. i'm very cognizant of how important it is at this time to have construction start because they create good jobs for people. and they make citizens happy. so something i was very pleased with, the sort of efficiency of the new fifth floor, the way it's been set up, i think that's just terrific. and i was very disappointed when i just had a project come out of being reviewed and a discussionry review in addition to a single family house. and the project had already been delayed two months by what the planning department said was effectively a frivolous d.r. by declaring it eligible for an abbreviated d.r. and what we wrote our response, the d.r. requester withdrew it. i assumed that meant i could then go and pick it up fro

chairman murphy: thank you. next speaker. seeing none. >> we can move on to item number nine. commissioner's questions and matters. item 9-a. are there any inquiries to staff? commissioner lee: yes. i have one. chairman murphy: commissioner lee? commissioner lee: i was just wondering, when can we get that announcement -- >> we can't hear you. commissioner lee: we need to nominate people to the three subcommittees on the website. >> i have submitted it to the website. i will check again today when i go back. i looked this morning myself to see if it was on. i'll let you know later today. commissioner lee: thank you. chairman murphy: commissioner hechanova? commissioner hechanova: do we have an update on where the del mar issue is? chairman murphy: do you have an update on that, ann? >> i spoke with -- that's an a.a.b. item. i spoke with francesca gessner because we were going to give a brief update. she said since it's been over a year that it would be good for the abatement appeals to have a hearing and to notic

chairman murphy: commissioner clinch. commissioner clinch: we not meet on the 21st depending on the preferences. chairman murphy: any other comments, commoirs? commissioner clinch: i can't attend on the 20th. >> ok, so our next meeting would be november 17. chairman murphy: majority has spoken. >> ok. all those in favor. >> aye. >> opposed. ok. item number 10 is adjournment. chairman murphy: motion to adjourn. >> second. s >> aye. >> all in favor. >> aye. >> thank you. hey, yo, check out this chef, right? right? that's so gay. that's really gay. dude, look at those pants. please don't say that. what? don't say that something is gay when you mean that something is dumb or stupid. it's insulting. it's like if i thought this pepper shaker was stupid, and i said, "man, this pepper shaker is so 16-year-old boy with a cheesy mustache." just saying. >> i like to welcome you to the multipurpose room. we did a ribbon cutting with the -- on friday. it houses the health center and child development center. this is a gorgeous green b

chairman murphy: commissioners? >> commissioners, thank you very much. chairman murphy: thank you. any public comments on this item? >> good morning, commissioners. luke o'brien. i've been involved in some of the meetings with the capss program for a while. it's something that will clearly have an impact on the city. there's a lot of work going into it. a couple of brief points. one, i would like to suggest that the calculation gets somewhat simplified. can i -- i can tell you from experience that the process for estimating a capital pass through when you do an improvment to a rental building that is so complicated that on occasion if you would call the rent board and talk to someone on that department and ask them to calculate how much you're entitled to calculate the rent as a result of a new rent, new foundation, retrofitting, whatever you've done, sometimes they don't even take on the initiative to answer the question because they're afraid that they may give you the wrong answer. and i know for a fact that there's quite a few members of the landlord community who just don't it

lindsay murphy fox 5 sports. >> murphy, thanks. while armstrong and moss certainly were two of the keys they weren't the only ones. two defensive players really stoled the show. two that made plays in sudden death overtime. the possession and packers have the third and 12 from their own 24. aaron rogers was sacked for the second time. wasn't the biggest. eight yards lost and the pack would have to punt. afterwards he talked about his huge play there. >> when you play this position like i say each and every time you've got to be relentless. regardless if they hold you. if they can't block, you just got to keep going. and sometimes you will bust through. made a huge play in overtime to get the ball back to the offense. that's what happens when guys step up. >> the other defensive gem the packs second possession of overtime. aaron rogers second and five from his own 24th. oh, no, there is landry picked off at the 39. excuse me. landry is so good i always get choked up. eight plays later graham ganeau. landry really a player today. wha

david feldman, lindsay murphy, a victorious day for the redskins.ow did the other team in the area do? the ravens taking on the steelers, always tough when these two teams hook up and, of course, if you're from palo alto california you're probably rooting for john harbaugh. joe flacco visited the undefeated steelers scoreless in the 1st. steelers with a 3rd and 3 from the ravens 35 and former redskins antwaan randle el, great catch but he goes down at the 1. rashard mendenhall two plays later scores 7 -0. mendenhall cuts to the outside and scores the go ahead td from 1 yard out. steelers up 14-0. same score 30 seconds left joe flacco hooks up with t.j. houshmandzadeh for the game winning touchdown. the ravens hand the steelers their first loss, 17-14 the final score. lions were playing the packers and the packers are who the redskins play next week. >> reporter: it's a 1:00 game. packers hosting the lions before their trip to d.c. next weekend. we start in the 1st quarter. the high octane green bay offense on full display. aaron rodgers hooking up w

and in both of these cases, let murphy speak to this. it appears that the employees did what they were supposed to do. talking on the rail system, the operators may be a long way away from the actual occurrence. they are required to immediately identify the control center, a lot -- -- who will communicate with the police department. >> the driver got up and told them to get off of their and that part is good. >> one thing that i learned about when we talk about the definition of things, central control called me with a crime on board a bus. people were complaining that there were loud kids on the bus. they will be there and there will be done tomorrow and the next day. that's what they do. they may be loud and boisterous among themselves, but this is not a crime. this is probably a nuisance for people, but i think that this is short-lived when you look at the specifics of what happened this year. we have three police reports, three incident reports per day of crimes committed on the mass transit authority property. this includes the bus

lindsay murphy brings us back with that interesting side bar. lindsay? >> reporter: good evening, ross. redskins and eagles players not the only one enjoying a little competition this weekend. the wives and girlfriend also got into the rivalry trading in a football for a basketball. >> redskins 1, 2, 3. >> it was all for a good cause. the charity event raising awareness and funding for the american lung association of the susan gkoman foundation. >> i will do something completely different because i am a fashion girl but always use fashion at these events. this year let's just do it different and show the strong women and get out there and play some ball. not any pretty pat ball. >> reporter: wife and redskins practiced for two months 2-3 times a week leading up to this game. >> these girls really want to win this game. you know, we know it is a charity event. we know once they hit the wood they will win. >> reporter: after slow things heated up against the nfc forwards. as you would expect to see on the football field tempers flares a bit as time ticks

and lindsay murphy is in philly tonight with a look ahead. good evening, lindsay. >> reporter: good evening from downtown philadelphia. tomorrow afternoon donovan mcnabb will return to the link a place he spent 11 seasons and earned six pro-bowl nods. he has been downplaying the emotion about this game but he can't hide from the union. >> i am just going to have fun with it. again, i don't want the guys in the locker room to have any type of doubts or to pull back or holdback in any way. we all need to go out and hit this team full steam ahad he. and, you know, give us an opportunity to be 2-0 in our division. that's what we are all looking forward to. >> i think it's always a tough situation for anybody. but i think it's one that, you know, you kind of look forward to. even though there is a lot of pressure, you pretend like there is not and it doesn't matter. but i think it always does. you want to play -- you would like to play your best. and, you know, it's kind of why you play the game. mcnabb will be in the visitors locker room for the

lindsay murphy will join me shortly as the washington redskins played the eagles in a muchly anticipated game, especially if you were donovan mcnabb. he downplayed it all week but in the end everyone wanted to chronicle every movement as he came back and played the team that he left 11 years ago. with no further adieu let's give to you our h.h. craig game highlights. donovan mcnabb got the ovation but brandon banks with your first highlight, 53 yards on the punt return all the way to the philly 39 and the redskins were rolling. redskins' next possession six play from scrimmage, fred davis wide open. it's somebody knack's first pass, but he overthrows -- mcnabb's first pass, but he overthrows it. then next pass mcnabb perfect to chris cooley wide open 14-0 redskins just oh 10 minutes into the game. on the -- over 10 minutes into the game. on the eagles' next possession bad luck for them. vintage michael vick scrambling all the way to the 1 and gets sandwiched by kareem huer and kareem moore. vick -- kareem moore. mcnabb deep later to anthony armstrong, 57 yards leading to a graham gano fi

chairman murphy: commissioner hechanova? commissioner hechanova: under the finance and care has there been some discussion under the possibility where there are higher at-risk zones, that there could be a pooling or an aggregate of insurance, insureability, of those property owners? and i don't have an answer nor is there one probably, but in the coverage issue there are those that are in the higher at-risk zones that it isn't sure that they will get damaged. so there should be some incentive for those property owners at those locations by which maybe there could be an aggregate insurance premium that the property owners can -- if for lack of a better description, almost intensely in common buy into a program. >> commissioner, it's a difficult question. i have not heard of a pooling insurance for particular areas. i know one of the problems with any insurer is there tends to be adverse selection. those of us who live in dangerous places or have weak buildings go to insurance to cover, you know, our rifpblg in some cases. --
