they need -- they need help. they don't need excuses. but i approve of mark farrell's legislation. i think it might need a few tweaks in that they might need more freedom on how and where they spend their funding because the high team had several programs for the people to give them new ideas and new points of references and they helped them get out. i think the other thing i need to consider with the high team is we need to give them a little bit more freedom as to how and where they spend their money regarding what type of s-r-os to get because it's another -- it's another major issue where we have housing that is just not up to any decent or reputable standard. working elevators, i mean, the sd card has working elevators. they started to use the lsa [speaker not understood] for vacuum cleaners and miscellaneous goods, insulin needles, bathroom, just basic nuts and bolts, filth inside the s-r-os that need -- that hopefully we're starting to clamp down on. i think this is a step forward and hopefully that we can bend the loop and interact because we need -- we need the voice of th

has a lot of capital needs, including street light capital needs and other capital needs in the powererprise. and getting the puc power enterprise more customers, which we have the power to do at this board, will help in that effort, will help generate revenue to support capital needs for street lights and elsewhere. so, there are a lot of projects that come through this board that -- a few of them. we've required as part of the agreement purchase energy from the puc and i think that needs to be more common. we need to make sure the power enterprise is viable and sustainable for the long run and can take care of all of its capital needs including street lights. >> colleagues, on the motion in front of us to move forward items 16 and 17 and table item 18 and 19, can we have a roll call vote. >> supervisor mar? >> aye. >> mar aye. supervisor tang? >> aye. >> tang aye. supervisor wiener? >> aye. >> wiener aye. supervisor yee? yee aye. supervisor avalos? >> aye. >> avalos aye. supervisor breed? >> aye. >> breed aye. supervisor campos? >> aye. >> campos aye. supervisor chiu? >> aye. >> chi

the world needs more demand.n japan we have seen for the first time in almost two decades , policies that have brought the economy out of deflation and it's growing, but that the need to make the kinds of reforms that make the future growth. china has to reform its growth and i think they know they have to record -- reform the economy. >> clearly they want to make it more market oriented. they say they want to have more competition with the public sector, with capitalism. >> i was in china a couple of times last year and i was there just days after their plenum completed, so i had a chance to talk to them before any other world figure came through in a one-on-one conversation. premiererpart, the vice , and the economic team. signalserstand that the of the need for market reform are all around. they have inventory that isn't being sold for state owned enterprise. they have excess capacity in real estate. all of the obvious signs that they need more market forces in order for the economy to grow. they know they nee

what does the country need to know. what do retire see-- retirees need to know. >> this is one thing i spent a lot of time in washington to talk about. we need to educate everybody that we have a blessing in front of us. and that blessing is longer life. and we need to make sure the blessing of longer life is achieved with dignity now that we can afford longer life. we spend so much time focusing on good health, focusing on exercise and eating the right things, and so we are going to live longer. and when people think about the averages of long life, people forget to talk about well, many men and women pass in their teens and their 250s and 30s and so statistically if you were a couple in good health at 60 years old, one of the two is going to live to 92 today. so you have -- >> 50% of 60-year-olds will live to 90. >> yes. >> wow. >> and so they need to think about what the financial demands of that are, the reality. >> so the whole issue, getting back to jobs. we have seen huge amount of job creation. but the job creat

, we try to add it into our need of good repair needs. we continue to refine these as we get updates from facility assessments and as repairs are completed so we expect to number to continue to change from year to year and again i might note that the costs could go up and they could go down. hopefully we see them go down. so now to the money side. the sources of funds, we have identified that 1.14 billion dollars in the 10 year period and this year we've tried to take this slightly different characterization of it and broken it into these two broad categories. the first is shown in blue are the internally generated funds, that is sources that are primarily within the port's control utilizing our existing assets. so, for example, the annual allocation from the operating budget is here and the port debt that's supported with our port revenues. also tenant improvements, a number of tenants with long-term leases have responsibility for maintenance and capital improvements such as this building and pier 1, the ferry building fisherman's wharf

the older places definitely need work and i think, you know, our department needs to get in there to make sure it's done right and we want to encourage that to happen quickly. the other side is the tenant. i'm sure the tenant will, you know, if they have problems or complaints or issues they're going to be complaining to us more directly than they do now. i want to make sure we're ready to service bodies and we have the mindset of that's what is going to happen >> how is the housing rights committee specifically they've been 0 pro-active involved in housing authority even though we had an agreement with the housing authority just a written agreement to help prioritize their issues. that's been in existence for 10 years maybe a little bit less than that. the housing rights committee has been pro-active in encourage that relationship. not necessarily successfully in the past but they probably would be good to - they're part of our code enforcement outreach program and probably would be interested in making that more official >> yeah. actually, i see this coming but we don't know how mu

i just think what we need find is sweet spot. we need speed up, for sure. we have a lot of reforms, and doctor pointed out in the last bill, we have to make sure they are working. and also, we have to understand that a great deal of the slow down, senator, is funding, too. because sometimes the funding doesn't come through. that's why it is important. if the idea came from really the los angeles may imror at the time, the mayor the pointed out they had the sales tax. but it was going take them 30 30-years to build all the projects. the federal government need to step up front and move the money forward. it i appreciate all of this, and i see we have a colleague -- do we have time to do another round? okay. go ahead, senator. i'll withhold and finish later. go ahead. >> had a couple of conflicts. everything happened at once. mr. donahue, i noticed you call for increasing gasoline tax. the position of the chamber of commerce we need to be raising taxes to increase spending today ? >> we have not raised several user fee fuel tax in almost 20 years. >> you want

we need to give her support to assure she's providing linkage for those in the shelter needing care. and as i said, we are looking at convening a stakeholder group to review the behavioral health needs for the entire city. >> so, thank you so much for your presentation, for all of your hard work again, and working together. you've been a great person to work with and thank you for all of your efforts. >> thank you. take care. >> colleagues, any questions at this point? okay, all right, thank you very much, ms. garcia. >> thank you. >> last but not least, we have jennifer friedenbach from our coalition on homelessness to speak for a few minutes. and thank you for being here and all the work you do as well. >> thank you for having me. i appreciate it. jennifer friedenbach. so, i'm the director of coalition on homelessness. i've worked at the coalition for 19 years, 19 very long, sometimes acutely painful and often very inspiring years. sometimes they're in the same year, bolt of them. i was also part of the ten-year implementation planning council and so we really got very specific rea

we need to get an evaluation on all the repaving that is linked to the water pipes and we need to get american people evaluation and that has to think post on the internet so we have full transparency and full accountability. thank you very much >> thank you francisco. is there any other any public comment? seeing none. we're going to go into recess we'll return at the 2:15 p.m.lu? >> and go through some of the highlights and answer any questions i might have. >> oh, weighing we've got to give him a hard time. >> so if we could go to the slide show. >> as the reminder the mission for the infrastructure goal is to in order to continue to provide high quality responsibilities to our customers per we implement the facilities that are necessary by the enterprises for them to do their work. our organizational chart is a typical organization we've a project bureau to handsome your overall bureau and a bureau it does the design and a bureau that helps us to the post construction admission. we have a construction management bureau it helps us through the physical construction and the workforc

there needs to be a good presumption you know where there were many needs i need to find old needs to go away. the presumption is an important presumption that allows staff and management to make the tough decisions to get there were they feel they can't make the trades we need to consider those positions carefully. i've talked to harland about ways in which we can try to go after some of the savings in a way that's not a detailed line byline item but it calls for the organization to see were there were efficiencies and i don't know if that comes through with the management or their attention but that's a decision i look forward to continuing where the general manager >> i do have a question. i see on the first slide i see in fiscal 2015 - 2016 >> those summaries are for the drought year the numbers will be projected in 8 upwards if we have a drought. this is your average rainfall here >> but you still anticipate more purchases of electrical. >> yes. based on the higher rates filed by pg&e with the california puc and as well as their filed rates for transition and discussion that is w

and these are in major need of rehabilitation. there have been an idea of using led conversion money to pay for this. a number of us objected to that, and, so, the led conversion fund will stay intact and will not be diverted to pay for this increase in street light capital needs. for fiscal year 15-16, $4 million will be budgeted for street light capital needs. so, a total of $9 million over a two-year period, that is a very strong down payment for the capital needs of our street light system. that's just a start. we also reached an agreement that between now and april there will be an assessment of the global capital needs of our street light system with at least the beginnings of a plan and a long run to address those needs, that will be done by april and will then be fed into our capital plan. so, the capital plan will fully account for our street light systems capital needs. this is obviously not a problem that we're going to be able to solve in a year or two. the needs are very, very large, but we will be on track to address

we need to give them the support it needs to achieve that. thank you. >> the reason there are two cards before you. [speaking in native tongue] >> translator: thank you, president. i would like to ask the honorable member, the chairman of the foreign affairs committee what does he think about the abolishment of the language law that the ukrainian government did? was this obligation the minority that had been living there for 200 years is a product of its rights? do you think that this is a pro- european step forward? because i wouldn't agree with you. [applause] >> you should look more closely at the legislation. it says that russia is the second national language, but in our resolution we make it clear that the minority language should be treated according to the rules of the council of europe. therefore as it states this is a position which is to be reconciled with the position in the ukraine to achieve the country which is free and under the rule of law we don't wish to get involved. thank you. >> i would like to ask you to think about two

it needs rethinking.he current system in south sudan, two-part sudan, one part uganda, one part spla, splm and all written in english, american english. you are trying to comb through that and say what is the actual system in sudan on paper, in reality in time to get to that. and then need to rethink the idea. is ethnic federalist that ethiopia has? is this separate but equal versus integration, integration over separate? how do you deal with especially when there's fear. the confederation is one idea. going back to the three regions and may be looking at a federal arrangement as a way to deal with new models for state-building. i think, briefly, that the issue of security, the issue of justice in particular, the goals of these two mechanisms has to be i think as kate and the others pointed out really has to be about the militarizing the political system, but the militarizing political competition, that there is debate, active debate. and that in addition to, you know, dealing with the conflict and moving

there is no need to continue to roll those forward on rops. clean 14, 15 a makes that more streamlined and we can also report those as fully expended and there's no cash left over to then true up again. the other instructions they gave us were about reserves. so, we had already understood that the reserves column was meant for, you know, reserves you might have to meet debt service payments and then retain balances from your due diligence reviews. in particular, there were two main buckets. the balances that were approved for restricted funds, bond proceeds, federal state grants, developer fees that were restricted for certain purpose. we also had approval to retain certain balances of unrestricted funds but were needed for an enforceable obligation. for instance, we had an approval to retain balances for alice griffith for mexican museum, african-american museum of diaspora. there were balances retained for rops 2 and 3 at the time due diligence reviews were done. what dos has said they clarified, if you have any of those balances left, you n

we need to fix legal immigration. we need a temporary worker program. we can't afford to lose them for three months. citizen citizenship, permanent citizenship not necessary but a legal temporary worker is essential. we want to keep working on that issue as well. >> thanks for having me. i'm excited to be here both as a farmer and interim director of the national young farmers coalition. i grew up in an urban setting. farming was not in my family history for a lot of generations. i'm a first generation farmer and came to it out of seeing opportunity with the intersection of a lot of issues that were important to me. there are new emerging ways of connecting with consumers so i'm a usda certified organic farmer. i have six acres in production which you might find humorous. half of that is annual vegetables and other is perennial fruits. i go directly to my customers through a farmer market. i'm on the tail end of beginning because i just finished my 10th year. the national young farmers coalition started four years ago by farmers like myself across the c

if we know we need a lot of welders in a particular state, then we need to have more welders.r maybe we need more engineers in those types of heavy industries in those states. it varies. >> governor corbett, i'm going to get you in a second. you asked the question, what should we be doing. i think sometimes government tries to do too much. i'm a free market person. i think the wealth creators and innovators in the private sector need to be empowered. we have a simple phrase. we want to keep government off your back and out of your wallets. we have done tax reform. we have done regulation reform. we want to make sure there is level playing fields. the niche is in the marketplace, there's a lot of different areas to excel. manufacturing, aerospace, tourism and travel. we have tried to let the marketplace find a niche as opposed to government weighing in on tpipping scales. >> one of the things we can do rs is work -- as leade with the private sector and say, what is your needs? growth has the fastest in degrees, two-year degrees. i said, i never want to be talking to an employer

the need is tremendous. know, as a coalition, we are certainly going to support a larger program through the u.s. government department of transportation. specifically. projects of regional and national significance. know, it is not that the dot does not get it. they just said, look, our hands are tied. for $10k to us and ask million or $20 million, but you have got to get the rest committed by your state, and as you know, many states are backlogged with their infrastructure needs. louisiana is $12 billion d, and it is a very competitive process, especially when you are going to and oil port. it is not a population center. so my highway project has to compete with all of the needs of new orleans or baton rouge or shreveport. it is important that the nation look at how important energy is and how that relates to our energy needs for this country, our energy sustainability, and i was encouraged that there was a provision that in the next round of funding for the grants of regional and national significance, th

and the district's needs are going to evolve over time, so that's interesting, and then i wanted to -- like following up on commissioner norton's comments talk a little bit about the properties that are left, and i think that we really do need to do a lot of community discussion and talk to the mayor's office to -- not only the mayor's office of housing but to the board of supervisors and others and think how we want to have the public discussion about these things, so for instance seventh and loton was part of a previous lond trade with the city, not so much to our advantage, and so the restrictions on this property i mean actually at one time years ago we had -- which i have available. i don't know if you have ever seen it. were you here -- we have a conceptional design for housing at the seventh and loton site which was meant to be rental housing for teachers, and so the discussion about whether educator housing is a educational purpose and with a small group of people in a room wondering if we could get money for this and i think that's the discussion we need to advance. we have

is happening in the city right now and just the that there does seem to be so much agreement on the need to build more housing whether it's market rate, affordable -- a mix. people disagree what it should be but everyone agrees we're not building enough housing in the city but this seems to me that we have a responsibility to really explore. i mean both as a board of supervisors, as the board of education to really say this is a prime site in a prime neighborhood, residential neighborhood near transit. it just would make sense that we move on that. >> and i couldn't agree more, and it's interesting every single time we have a hearing that mentions the word "surplus property" this is the only time that 14 neighbors haven't come out that their desire is this to remain public open space forever so that will take some partnerships and a brave developer who wants to take on that fight but i think we would be anxious to partner with somebody on that. i would love to have olson step up and take that one. >> i agree. >> commissioner wynns. >> thank you. thank you mr. golden. first of all i think

getting the help they need. if the government does this, they will have our full support. >> what i said last night is what i said today, when it comes to this relief effort, money will be no object. i don't want people to worry about penny pinching as they see the vital work that's needed to help them with their houses, to help them deal with the floods. that is what this company is doing. we're deploying the military when we have been asked for the military. deploying extra pumps when we were asked for pumps. raising the compensation to local government to 100% because that's what local community should have. i'm only sorry that he seems to divide the house when we should be coming together for the nation! >> thank you very much. hank you, mr. speaker. i would like to discuss our broken rail link. would he commit our government to finding long-term solutions to rail solutions in the far southwest but would he join me today in sending a clear signal to the rest of the country despite our current problem, dev on

at the end of the day those needs will be at a later date. those are the projects we've had in san francisco you're probably aware of it can be district wide and a part from geographic one is a district wide save route to school or biking or increasing mode safety and the project is on the bottom. our cac gave his good feedback of collecting examples of scale or types of efforts and costs and we're drawing from past transportation authority effort to get an idea of the scale and the costs. so how does a planning idea bylaw become a plan. we know the supervisors might come up with an idea but talking to constituents or a call for ideas. at least two cac members felt we should be required to solicit inputs g input from the community. regardless of how an idea comes up we proposes that we work with the relate agencies to make sure it's well scoped and well funded to address the needs of the community before we start the effort. this is a step we've annoyed a project chart the goals and the scope and budget and who's responsible from community an

with the fit our need growing need on the commercial industry side? there are a number of ways to do that, certainly is not a question of all or nothing. it is one of the things that we are looking at and very interested in where the commercial sector is going because we have the opportunity to use commercial devices and actually leverage those technologies for our use. it also means that we need to be more efficient in the way that we are using spectrum. again, with the limited resource we are able to accomplish what our mission needs are as well as being able to satisfy the commercial industry needs as it relates to spectrum. i would not necessarily think of it, and we don't think of it as an either or where it is that how we we collectively work together. >> can you give us an idea of how you go about being efficient? giving us the first question about numbers and how much will you have to share in the future. how do you go about doing that. what is it you have to share that you don't share now. >> when we talk about efficiency, the question really

the whole system needs to be more transparent and open and we need to be able to bring people to the farm so they understand the processes are. but it's catching on. people are talking about local food because they have a relationship that is a fundamental relationship in the place anface and it is becomingt of the dialogue. it is a place to demystify the food production and begin to change the relationships that are healthy, not top down and are bottom-up and they are based on a direct relationship. we have to grow. two worlds. somehow those have to inform each other how we create a healthy outcome. >> i would like to make an observation at this point. this is a law that was created by congress. very few created by congress are perfect and therefore they aren't obligated to the regulatory body to implement to that which congress in its wisdom decided needs to be done. to those that may have gotten your a little bit to invite to participate but that is what they should have done. but i can guarantee you that a bunch of them are listening into this discussion because it is this discus

you need to learn how the farm. and so access to opportunities for training is almost the most important thing. leaving gynecologists and the agriculture, but unless you go do it on someone else's farm you will not be successful. the beginning farmer rancher development program is an excellent example of funding. is the most effective. i would encourage someone who might be thinking that they might be willing to jump into agriculture to give it a try and learn from someone who has been doing this for years. you can help make some of those mistakes of somebody else's farm before you go make the money around. [laughter] >> let me continue the dialogue with you. what would you encourage the young person who is interested in farming do in terms of exploring ways in which they might be able to find land. how would they go about finding a mentor or someone who might be interested in giving them a shot to learn. >> well, i tell you what i did first bewitches and moved back to oklahoma, said did not think when i was in high

we need to preserve this rh one zoning. families need a place in the city as well as people who can use condos. you need a stand alone building to raise kids. we've gotten a limited time to review this document. in part because there was wide misunderstanding because of the wording we could or couldn't address here. we feel the current document didn't inadequately talk about the zoning particle r one and two zoning. so i think i'd like to ask for a continuance so this can be done. recently, i visit ecuador and they built a wonderful airport but in the second degree to build a road to the airport. a two-lane highway that took two hours to get to the airport. let's get the infrastructure in place first >> thank you. next speaker. and let me call a few more names (calling names). >> hello my name is - okay. >> sorry (laughter). >> your time is up, sir. >> i live here. anyways i've been a third generation resident here in san francisco. i wish to thank the planning commission for taking the time to hear us and i rerequest that

our streetlight system has huge capital renovation needs and we have neglected those needs. the pfc we learned at our last hearing, spends approximately $250,000 a year on the maintenance capital needs of the 25,000 streetlights that it owns. that is not acceptable. we also know that, as far as i'm aware, there is no plan in place to actually fund the huge capital renovation needs of these streetlights. recently in my district we had a streetlight that collapsed on to a car. when they looked at the street lights in the area they all had the same problem. this is not acceptable. it is capital work by tree i treeage. triage. i am proposing and have distributed amendments to you that would add additional $25 million to this bond to renovate on our streetlight system. it is not all of the capital needs of our streetlight system, the number is higher, but this will be a very solid start. i also know, and i have been having many conversations with the capital planning committee, mayor's office and controller's office that we -- i totally respect our capital planning process and i

we need to stop it. they claim to be principled, the when they have a decision between their principles and what their cap -- what their corporate benefactors one, they always go with their corporate benefactors instead of going and doing what is right for this country, and that has to stop. that is why big business -- the u.s. chamber of commerce has declared war on the tea party because we are saying no to corporate cronyism. we are saying no to corporate welfare, and we are telling them that needs to stop. been pickingt has winners and losers in the energy field since the 1940's. energy is one of the things most heavily subsidized out there. they need -- if you want to get energy underway, the solution would be cut out all energy subsidies. let the energies compete in the free market and let the free market decide what energy is best, not the government. if you go to the websites -- if you open secrets.org, have any doubt why a vote was cast, follow the money. jim demint left the senate and he said th
