involves one talking to witness to testify to all recordings of sections and three, presiding by chief or city inspector on behalf of the director of the dbi, and four providing the city, the property owner and interesting owner of fear or clear opportunity to discuss their case. prior to discussing as a major task of preparation we conduct a title search to find out those that have the financial interest on the property such as other business partners and landing institutes and notify them of upcoming hearing. at this point, if the property owner has complied with the notice of violation and delivers a copy of the signed off card to our division the entire hearing proceeding can be avoided and there for case abated. most of the outcomes from the directed hearing are issue answer of an order of abatement. now what if an order of abatement in order of abatement is a negative title means, a cloud recorded against the property it inversely effects the properties title and business activity. sech as title transferring, selling or buying of the private property or have a hard time of obtaining et c

value pricing pilot program and that program is specifically dedicated to having local, regional, or cities look at this idea of congestion pricing or other types of pricing mechanisms as part of a comprehensive transportation strategy. commissioner dooley: are any other bay area counties or cities doing a similar project? >> not of area wide road pricing. there are other cities that have high occupancy toll lanes which essentially is they price single-occupancy vehicles so they can use hotv lanes or they have implemented parking pricing. >> so $300,000 was funded by the city and county of san francisco? >> half of that was funded by the city and county of san francisco, but not actually through the city and county but through the prop k transportation sales tax which has an expenditure line item that is specifically dedicated to demand management strategies. the other half was contributed by the bay area toll authority. commissioner dooley: the bay area toll authority. that's both bridges? >> the bay area toll authority manages all of the bridges except the golden gate bridge. commissioner

what that means is that no city employee or no city resources can go towards helping ice or referring anybody to ice or disclosing any information to ice. it was meant to give people equal access to services, equal access to the city without any fear of retribution, any fear of retaliation, any fear of having their status being basically disclosed, and being deported for wanting to get health care. so it is a really important thing for us to remember that as we are thinking about comprehensive immigration reform, that we also continue to strengthen and defend sanctuary ordinance not just here in san francisco, where it has been under a lot of pressure and discussion and a lot of debate, bull also all over the country, because other cities also have a sanctuary ordinance. again, it is not about -- the way that the current dialogue that is been happening, a lot is about crime. it is actually about insuring that everybody has equal access and equal process in san francisco. so we want to put that out there and remind people that is what it is about, and we are definitely here to be able

or in some cases within the st. rights of way both below and above. the city retains the operations of the streets, so this is just to facilitate the adjoining uses or underlying or above ground aspects of the construction project. this is the start of a lengthy vacation process. there are utility easements that will be addressed as part of this process, so this simply starts the ball rolling toward future public hearings, and the decision in march for the actual vacation. happy to answer any questions you might have an whatever maps you would like to see. it is obviously a very expansive area. supervisor mar: for the public benefit and our benefit, could you put up a basic math and point out which streets or alleys we are talking about? >> i'm happy to do that. i will walk through the individual locations in order of the above or below ground, and i think mr. beck has some better slides that will give you visuals of exactly what is produced as part of the terminal project, so these are very two- dimensional map, but it at least shows you the sections of stree

is supportive and is a city entity or a city college and 19.15% of the c.b.d. parcels are in favor and are non-city property. so, it's -- you know, it shows that the city has had a very large part in assuring that there's a successful vote here, which i'm trying to mull over how much i want to support that or not. i haven't supported the c.b.d., but i'm concerned about the threshold we have here and i'd like to get an official report from the city about what they got calculated in terms of the city part of the ownership of the parcels that were favorable. president chiu: if i could ask, i know ms. pagon from the mayor's office on economic and work force development who has been helping to manage this process this year, do you have an answer for supervisor avalos? >> the parcels owned by the city of san francisco represent 11.80% and that includes the feelin loop parcel as well as the library and a median -- a hard scape median. president chiu: supervisor? supervisor avalos: i added up all the percentages of the city properties that are in favor, that are all in

you want to know what that does to revenues or city's sales. at other times, you have a very low water year. you want to know what that does to revenues or costs. we work with power enterprise to do that. the model we developed with them involves setting rates for irrigation districts. you know the long-term capital plan costs. probably most importantly is when you serve electricity customers in the redevelopment areas, area, and understanding of what the costs are on an actual basis and the revenues, we build that into the model. as was mentioned, the goal was to get this to the development areas. just really two points on this slide. one was stated, we you have a carbon free resources. these surrounding resources do not have that. because of those, you have a very low costs. if you look at the main points, the costs for the power enterprise averages about 9 cents per kilowatt hour which is very low. pg&e has costs that are much higher, about 15 cents per kilowatt hour. in santa clara, this part of the power authority, they have low costs suppl

we believe this design work could be integrated with the city's proposed -- or host city agreement for the 34th america's cup. and if san francisco wynns the america's cup, the interim use by the america's cup could help solve a funding gap for the cruise terminal and accelerate the design and construction of this building. again, we hope to bring this back to you. as soon as we get information, we will get that back to you. but over the next months, we would like you to review -- come back here for schematic approval and overall site plan of how phase one and two works, as well as funding plan. with that, i would like to introduce peter and dan lamb to briefly go over what scheme b-2 is from a design perspective. thank you. >> good afternoon, commissioners. i just wanted to quickly introduce you to our core design team that makes up the cruise ship terminal design team. k.m.d. architects is joint venturing with fowler architecture to form the design team for the project. we are teamed up with the well-known cruise ship terminal designer out of miami. we are very excited about the news

have you looked at the term sheet for some of the prior host cities -- valencia or any other host city? has that been provided for you by staff so that you have a basis upon which to compare the city bid to those? >> we did not. we did not look at any other term agreements of other host cities. supervisor campos: were those provided to you? do you know whether or not those were considered by the negotiating team? >> they were not provided to us. i do not know whether they were considered by the negotiating team. supervisor campos: in light of that, you have no way of comparing how what we are proposing to do in san francisco compares to what happened in some of these other host cities? >> that is absolutely true. the basis of our report was to determine what was exempt, to determine the costs and the benefits, and to name the fiscal feasibility determination in accordance with the board laws. supervisor campos: one of the things i am trying to understand in this agreement -- we keep hearing about the very positive prospect of the economic benefits that this agreement would have for the

or not services are already in place. particularly with fines and application fees, thinking about these folks as an investment in the city'sfuture and trying to determine if there are micro loans or other programs that the commission or city might be able to help sponsor to make it easier for people to be able to take advantage of the law when it is passed is something that you need to start thinking about now. there are good programs at other places have tried, the state of illinois, in particular. >> thank you. you have given us a lot of food for thought. commissioners, and this concludes the >> thank you, director. thank you penlists and speakers for your testimony. at this stage, we will at the end, if you have questions carb i know one or two might have a question. i will do it after public comment. if i may, i would like at this stage to see if there is anybody in the audience who would like to talk. i have some speaker cards. i will read out your names. i believe, director, two minutes? >> that would be your call. >> i would like to hold our comments to two minutes as our time is restricted here. if you would line u

. >> the bondholders who purchased gm or ford, or cities like trenton or whatever, could get screwed.the only reason they cannot is because they are under the constitution sovereign. the only way that states with these huge deficits, which are structural and absolutely unsolvable, in soluble, is to actually have a mechanism that is the equivalent of bankruptcy. they have to be able to break or redo the pension obligations, which are destroying them. >> can you imagine congress voting to bail out california? >> the only alternative -- >> a political decision that states will have to make. >> to be continued. this is one of my pet peeves here. a visit from the president of china. what is in it for us? president obama held a formal state dinner for chinese president hu jintao. very, very fancy. general douglas macarthur is rolling in his grave. colby, who got what out of this deal? >> both sides got something to it is a recognition of what china is and the world today. i this is 28 talk radio show or somebody like rush limbaugh -- to a talk radio show where somebody like rush limbaugh wa

or no cost -- easy to administer. the bank we are working with says there will be no account fees for the city or the people. there are very basic, simple accounts. i do not want to get too complicated, but it is a custodial account being held under the official ownership of the city and county of san francisco with numerous sub accounts attached to that custodial account. for all intents and purposes, each sub account will be accessible by students and their families. they can go online, check their balances, verify their deposits, and see how their money is growing. they will have earnings as well as incentives. i think that the earnings will be comparable to passbook savings accounts or money-market accounts. we will look and maybe future years, seeing if we can expand the types and variety of accounts is being offered in our program, but right now, our emphasis was on ease of administration and ease of use. each parent and child will receive an account identification card with an account number on it. with that, they will be able to walk into a bank branch and make a deposit. they will be able to mail in

>> the hispanic community in san francisco, many do not even have access to a checking it down or is city's accounts, -- or a savings account. there is going to be an independent analysis to see if this works, and other members of the community are going to say, "i would love to contribute to " you watch. this thing is going to take off. -- i would love to contribute." you watch. >> out of the $6 billion budget, the dollar's see miniscule, especially if it works. -- the dollar's -- dollars seem minuscule, especially if it works. cnn, san francisco. [applause] president mendoza: thank you. i do not see any further questions or comments, but i did want to extend my one gratitude, as well. when you brought this -- my warm gratitude, as well. it actually took a couple of years to get off the ground, and as we all know, during these tough budget times, these are not the kinds of conversations that people are ready to have, but i think what we're doing in san francisco is by showing what we are doing for our kids. in san francisco unified, we are making sure they have the tools to get there, and

no neighborhood, none in district 8 or in the city or country is stuck in time and frozen.ou evolve, things change, there are dynamics and pressures whether economic or new housing and you have to respond to this. one of the things i see as my mission is the sustainability of the castro. i think there is concern that the dynamic of the castro is changing. >> a lot of families are moving to the castro a lot of gay families. and district 8 throughout district 8. what that has meant is i think that fewer people want the street fairs and parties. even john stewart in the daily show made fun there are straight families moving to the castro complaining about the sex shops with dildos in the window. it was called. there goes the gabor hood. there is truth to that. its sad that the the castro is losing its character. >> once every 3-4 years the issue of sex toys in windows has a flair up and dies down. i don't think that that is an on going problem. i have a daughter and she's a real fast learner, started her terrible 2's a 15 months. down the road we will be walking downcast row a

there will be a county or state, or city that's doing this effectively and we can take that's an a template to our own environment and a slow kate that. i would love to hear more from you about regulatory and legislative issues and how the legislative regulatory and planning issues tend to cluster together. so if you have things you've done that have been helpful or strategies you are thinking of trying, or things where you think regulators are impeding important climate issues you can speak now which i would very much appreciate or write to the website if you think about it a little further. is there anyone that can speak today? yes? >> hi i'm will travis and development commission or if you watch,cnn, i'm travis mills. but that's okay. as a regulator, i think it's important to listen to the rhetoric of cutting through regulations and streamlining them, i think it's important to remember those regulations were all put in place in reaction to some abuse. they are advancing veryly get mate enlightened public policy. what you may see as an imped meant is really a regulation put there to prote

hopefully, we will have somebody from police department or city hall. i want to commend the police. for my community, i will talk to some of the african american youngsters. they were really happy that that happened. he needs help. pray for that person. that was something our community was really set about. for the police to act like that was outstanding. so thank you very much. >> give it to the police commissioner. pñ5@w>> i would like to have ths perhaps looked at and reviewed. i have been here 20 years. the people who have hired me for black history month -- hopefully that should extradite that. i want to assure our community we do have responsible people working with the police department. i commend the san francisco police department for being on the case. president mazzucco: thank you, mr. washington. any further speakers during public comment? good evening, clyde. how are you? >> i am a little appalled some of our media outlets. some of the nonprofits are really playing this up. i know a lot more about these officers. i know a lot of them. they do not run around shooting peo

or the cities where you may reside. thank you all very, very much for being out here. i hope you have a very successful conference. thank you. . >> thank you. thank you so much, mr. mayor for taking the time out of your very busy day and welcoming everyone here. i'd like to get to work here and the first thing i'd like to do is call up our first panel and introduce our moderator. and our moderator of our first panel, which is rising seas and coastal challenges, that moderator of our first panel is mary d. nichols. she is currently director of the ucla institute of the environment. she was appointed by mayor antonio villarugoso, commissioner of los angeles and serves as its president through september, 2006. we all know mary as a very capable secretary for california's resources -- california resources agency where she was the head of that agency from 1998 to 2003. those of us who remember back far enough recall the days as a senior attorney for the environment now foundation. she was also co-founder of the first environ

or you know i left it all in the hands of god. when the cross questioning took place by the lawyers from the city side it was just really intense the hardest moment for me was talking about my relationship with marable or maybe trail reminiscing and all of the work that i had done to build bridges between the arab and muslim communities of new york city and his office and to see all that go down the drain was just really really painful. we all felt that testimony went well and i came out if they're feeling that. we had made our case. as the judge began reading the decision. there was sort of a visible and an auditory and some cases. you know of oh this is not the way this is going to go the judge didn't believe that my speaking to the new york post was protected speech and that my employer had the right to remove me if they wanted to know to me i thought that everybody get that we lost this i just found it stunning i thought of the study decision. to have a i. was reading every back afterwards we just walk over. to my lawyers office and we just sat there and we consult on next steps and immediately my lawyers were like we're going

or that community. the key for me was really just engaging with the community and not really needing the by in of the city. or of the neighborhood associations. and being happy with saying, you know what this is an issue here and this is how we as this group plan to move about it and move on it. and working with the people that wanted to work with us. i think now at this point i'm into the formal names and having the organizations and the associations mainly because i have to be. but as a resident and as a parent and as a person that was living in the neighborhood, initially it became let's do this with this group of people. as you begin to do that it forces the neighborhood associations and the city to really begin to take notice of what you are doing. if you are saying that this is an issue and the people that are not a part of that group are saying it's not that this is the other issue now and you build that momentum and do that work it forces them to say, we have to acknowledge this group or these people and invite them to come in. i guess you have to figure out what that issue is that's not being wor

san francisco was not london or stockholm or a city with 10 million people or a huge infrastructure. it does not have a congestion problem. this is solving a problem that does not really exist. the notion of regional coordination is important. that is the reason that new york's congestion pricing failed. they did not talk to the bronx. this measure has to go to the assembly to get past, ultimately. i agree that more transit is needed, but this is the wrong place to look and the wrong economic climate. go to some of the meetings. i was at the local meetings. people were upset about it. they did not want it. listen to what was already said when people were asked if they wanted their parking taxes to go up. people resoundingly said no. 68%. thank you. supervisor mirkarimi: thank you. [reads names] >> good afternoon. i am with at the san francisco bicycle coalition. we have been paying close attention to this study and have been participating. i would like to thank the staff for their excellent work so far. this is a sophisticated idea and i suppose it is not surprising that misapprehens

language although large the cold can still provide a natural habitat for beach tennis not only in south or cities like tsotsi but in st petersburg as well as. tennis doesn't require that much investment in infrastructure where we are the go finland is just not northern italy where you can easily. each tennis grounds in the summer you don't need anything big on the other hand what you see here is in a way revolutionary peter bergen has had a history of revolutions and this is a new revolution that has happened before you see some of beach schools more in the country's northern capital. well said their revolution indeed russian tennis players like dinners when i get a coffee go and maria sharapova to name just a few have already made a name for themselves in the regular game will there be colleagues follow suit and make russia a major player in this sport well the abundance of tournaments in twenty eleven will make that evident room on cost r.t. st petersburg. and i've got time to give you some boxing is heavyweight champion that may klitschko will fight britain after all the pair were defying last

short-term reassessment or city involvement in making sure those issues work out, because there really do affect the quality of life. i am pleased that are coming back to the neighborhood. i look forward to this go around being a lot more fun for everybody. thank you very much for your time. >> vincent blaskovich. i have noticed in the report that there -- their vent is going to be dispersing the odors out onto the second floor, which is going to be venting right into the schoolyard and into the neighbor's enclosed rear space, which is a residence. it is an elementary school as well. from my experience living above the old location, it would be more appropriate to vent on the roof. that is all i have to say. thank you for your time. >> my name is rick barman. i have several concerns and questions about ike and in. the proposed self service is defined as a retail use whose primary function is to prepare and provide ready-to-eat specialty foods to a high volume of customers to carry out the food. how do you define high volume of customers? is it especially about food? it also says it is

you want to know what that does to revenues or city's sales. at other times, you have a very low water year. you want to know what that does to revenues or costs. we work with power enterprise to do that. the model we developed with them involves setting rates for irrigation districts. you know the long-term capital plan costs. probably most importantly is when you serve electricity customers in the redevelopment

city. it is this kind of vibrant business that makes or neighborhood more workable and lovable. you go to europe, the streets are smaller. it is more compact. there are more different activities going on, and noise and so forth. people love these areas. this is the kind of thing people come to san francisco for. we should be glad people are coming across bridges and through tunnels to patronize the businesses we have in the neighborhood. this kind of thing improves our city. i will tell you. it is not just the food. it is friendliness of not just bike but his whole staff. -- not just ike but his whole staff. his employees know me by name, and i do not even remember their names. they let me put up fliers and stuff even though they have very little when the space. when i said, "can i put up a flare for the community? -- flier for the community?" the answer is always, "sure. go ahead." i do not know why people are so objectionable -- so objecting to what is simply a successful business. if you say no to this, you're punishing a successful business. that is the bottom line. presiden

investigate people's private property wanted and but we can't touch them everyone is allowed tallahassee or city. culture is that so much of the taxpayers' money i mean i would like to give it real creative aspect to. all across the globe countries one after another claim foul play and help others are valuable.

really provided city staff authority to further negotiate as long as we do not increase the city's obligations or liabilities in consultation with the city attorney's office. we feel we have done that. i would like to spend just two minutes going over some of the proposed revisions to the agreement that we think makes it stronger. first in section 6.2 of the agreement, now permits the authorities investment in some of our historic peers in the northern waterfront with rent credits to repay that investment. section 7.3, consistent with the budget analyst recommendation provides for a term sheet approval of any long- term development rights by the board of supervisors. we have entered the budget analyst's recommendations regarding fair market rents by an appraisal process. the board negotiated for participation read, which is something that we have been trying to get out of this agreement for some time. basically, some terms of balance the fundamental give/get that the authority invested in a waterfront, and they get long- term development rights to be paid back. we have provided a memo to each of

other cities like portland, ore., and new york city are doing the same thing and san francisco should join them. >> can we take a roll-call vote on item 22? >> aye. >> no. >> aye. >> aye. >> no. >> aye. >> aye. >> no. >> aye. >> aye. >> aye. >> the resolution is adopted. i would ask if we can refer back to item 19. i understand we don't have a board of supervisors meeting on the 18th and we need to make this one week or three. supervisor mirkarimi, to you have a preference? >> the week after is fine. if we can have a motion of percent. is there a second? without objection -- >> can i request another vote be rescinded? >> of course, but let me finish item 19. that passes without objection. i understand you are continuing this item to the 25th of january. this is seconded by supervisor dufty. colleagues, without objection, this will be continued until the 25th. now, supervisor dufty, did you want to go to 21? can we call item 21? >> yes, but i would like to request -- i would like to rescind the vote on item 22. >> item 21 has already been called. >> before you, the court has been kind

or expand your business. we at the commission also connect you with other resource providers beyond what the city provides as far as technical assistance through the building or planning department through nonprofits that provide free resources. if you are looking for free, low cost resources to help you figure out what you need to do to market your business, expand or remodel our business the best thing to do is seek out free resources and work with consultants to help you figure out the entire package before being forward and signing leases or entertaining contracts. as you know, timeÑi and money i important to you. you have a lot of things on your plate. i think it's important to talk to exerts. so, again we have a website on sfgov. org. our office is the small business commission. >> agnus tell us about the work you are doing with spur? >> currently our office has been working on a pilot project with the san francisco planning and urban research organization they are looking to help us figure out a tool set to help stream line the permit process for restaurants. the pilot test we have undergone intensive
