this is the gear box, and this is original from 1913. it is a heavy-duty design that we really do not see any more today. that is probably part of the reason why this elevator has already lasted close to 100 years. this is the break for the voice machine -- teh brake. >> we have the original controller here. fortunately, the power is turned off. >> this room was built in 1913, but the national elevator cut actually was not introduced until 1921. >> tell us about this antique controller. what makes it different from a modern controller? >> the elevator is running on the original d.c. power. really simple in operation. does not include a lot of the features we would have in an elevator today, automatic door operation, dispatching, push button operation. none of those features are present, but this is the original from 1913. on this side, we have all the relays that actually control the elevator. the safety service -- city circuit, position, speed, and control of the power to the motor. >> here is a really interesting piece of historic mach

it is the way they can tweak the original request salmon -- wheat the original request? >> they can tweak it. we have not gotten to that point yet, because they may have said, you wanted us to use about reform partner, but this one is better. that is not a big deal.

it is the way they can tweak the original request salmon -- wheat the original request? >> they can tweak it. we have not gotten to that point yet, because they may have said, you wanted us to use about reform partner, but this one is better. that is not a big deal. but we would have to go back and say, this is what they want to do, and this is why, and we need to get those budget revisions approved. >> i want to thank you for a much for the time and attention you have given to my questions. commissioner wynns: i just wanted to us in one short question about what you raised about mission high school to remove -- about mission high school. i am hoping you can give us some insight into our relationship whiswith cde. i want to say publicly i appreciate the we have tried to do this in a site support of the way -- site supportive way. while we have funding, and whether we can make a judgment about how enthusiastic we think the state department is in support of what i view as a negatively-focused project, so i am interested, and that might be a good thing to reflect on, and i

so, leslie and in conclusion, support of this resolution will allow us to meet the original objective of restoring reliable emergency power while also maintaining the original schedule with the added benefit of shifting a good benefit of work from the contracts on the rebuild to smaller, local contractors that are advancing the generator project. with a quick overview, i can address any questions. supervisor chu: thank you. let's go to the budget analysts report. >> madam chair, members of the committee, on the bottom of the page, towards the end of page 4 of the report, at the p.w. -- dpw points out that by combining them, we were able to save $2 million in general contract and to install all five generators. given the recommendation on the following, page 5, dpw did not require a competitive bidding process for the work and is, instead, seeking an amendment -- as you know. the reason is, rubicon has begun cancellation of the five generators and has undertaken a new competitive prophecy at this time, which will cost more than what is needed to complete the work. we find that explanat

we introduced the original legislation in may of this year. this has had a number of hearings, not only at the government audit committee, but at the health commission, the small business commission, and the board. people have tried to complicate this issue, but it is simple. it is about protecting the right of workers to have health care. it is about protecting consumers. i would simply ask for a vote. before i do that, i want to make a clarifying amendment. it is an amendment that clarifies that when we talk about the termination of these accounts -- the closing of these accounts happening 18 months after termination of employment -- clarifying that it is a definitive amount of time, at 18 months past employment, whether or not there is activity in the account. that is in response to a number of concerns that have been raised by the business community. i want to make sure there is certainty and clarity on that. on the spirit of compromise that has guided our approach, i make a motion to amend the legislation along the lines of this document

order, and it was originally $67,000. we negotiated and down to $61,000 on the ultimate -- on that alternate. if there are questions, i would be happy to address them. >> this originally came in at $10.5 million, and we are now coming up to $15.5 million. that is nearly a 50% jump from where we started. i guess one question is -- what was the original budget for this work? presumably, it did not have a 50% contingency. where is the balance coming from? specifically, why do we have such a high number of change orders? i understand that the alternates was a relatively small piece. >> difficult for me to address the first question. a lot of the changes during the course of the project were unforeseen additional conditions. once we start taking it down, a lot of additional asbestos- causing material that were not picked up in addition of -- initial surveys, issues like that. as we went through the building, for example, the topic of the bath debt was not believed to have contain any asbestos material, but the actual topping m

we wrote requesting reinstatement of the original design but received no response. mr. crawford said the new design was adopted without further community input or hearings. this decision and our exclusion from the process of development and adoption of the new design run counter to a 20-year tradition of collaboration between the department, commission, and neighborhood organizations. this tradition has yielded mira loma parks residential design guidelines, developed with department cooperation and adopted by the commission in 1999, and has also resulted in the avoidance or settlements of many dvr request. the board has volunteered countless hours to assisting planning staff and the commission. in our view, our continued involvement with the process would have served the best interests of all. we urge you to repair this damage to what was a model of collaboration between community, business, the planning department, and the commission.

this shows the original downtown zone. as part of implementing action, pieces of the tenderloin, south of market, the thai town -- how well do we do the last 25 years? we have forecast a growth for 90,000 and space needed -- employment will remain flat and some of the original areas actually lost jobs. there is 12 million square feet of office space. in some ways, it is branded as the financial district, a loss of almost 40,000 jobs. it was distributed down south of market and also to the west. and there was a total of about 47,000 jobs lost in the downtown area. that is south and also west. the downtown plan aims to maintain chinatown, south of market, north beach. about 29,000 units were retained as affordable housing. new housing areas were also rezoned, primarily around south beach, south of market. the gold of the downtown plan has set for housing production at that time was about 10041500 a year. this is for citywide, and over the last 25 years, the average into the being 1600 units a year. much of this occurred in t

i think they are to some degree accurate one of the things that we had originally with the tea party back in two thousand and eight were true protests one that was held on wall street the original protest against the bailout of bear stearns and then a second one it was held in washington d.c. that we call the toilet bowl protest because if you true a toilet bowl in which people could deposit their collateral for the federal reserve and those were very small events there were thirty forty fifty people there we held out a lot of you know a lot of signs and in and out some banners and flyers and bumper stickers and d.v.d.'s and things like this and then everybody went home and the problem with protests and the political process is that it's very easy no matter how big the protest has to for the politicians to simply wait until the people go home and then they can ignore you well occupy wall street was a little different and back in two thousand and eight i wrote that when we will actually see changes when the people calm they set up camp and they refused to go home that appears to be ha

what is in the original permit that is not in the other permanent? >> i am not aware of any differences. the only reason the revision would not be required is if they were to reduce the scope and go back to the size of the originally approved deck. they may still require an improvement to document those changes, and i think another permit is going to be required no matter what. i do not think there is anything greater gains other than potentially delaying the hearing dates from december. >> to graft jurisdiction on this would be redundant? >> it would appear so. >> you are indicating the size of this deck is code compliant? >> that is correct. >> a permit was succeeded, so as a matter of policy, should we make this easier for the permit holder? >> we do not like to seize those of permit exceeded any way -- do not like to see the scope of a permit exceeded in any way. i believe his is now nine times for the permit and six times its work exceed scope, we would not looking to the. >> in the same way this might be a redundant given the way there is a jur
