mount davidson and west portal playground, and my children both went to west portal school. and, so, i just -- some of the changes that i've seen in the neighborhood in terms of access to open space -- in fact, all of them have been for the worst. and i just wanted to talk to you about them and my ideas of how to address them. when i raised my kids in west portal playground there was a woman, i think her name was pat, who was on staff every day starting early in the morning, and she would literally rake the sand every day, every morning so that when the kids got there, any objects that might be in the sand had been removed. and she would sweep the sand on the sidewalk so that the kids could run around. that person -- there is no person like that any more. nobody cleans out the sand. the rec center is usually closed. there's nobody there keeping the place clean and neat. and i guess that's for lack of money, which is a shame and later on in the program we're going to be -- there's going to be some discussion of funding for some other things. and i would say it's a higher prio

west portal avenue which is the location for the proposed urgent care unit. i have lived there ten years. and i feel that i know the building, and the neighborhood well. i am not hear today, to oppose the project, but i am here to raise some issues that i feel are not adequately addressed, in the staff report. >> sir if you could raise that microphone so it will pick you up. >> is that better? the first of those is parking. the staff looked at the size of the project and says that it did not meet the off street parking but it did not look at the situation with the on-street parking. west portal and especially during the hours of operation can be a nightmare and i think that was not considered, there was an additional feature of the location that i would like to point out. if you look at the last page of the report i know that you may not have this. here is the property and right in front of it is a crosswalk as well as a fire hydrant and this is actually a very important crosswalk, the block between 14th street and bacene is a long block and it is difficult t

our next concept is community portal. and our vision for the community portal is to create a platform to enable the greater community to connect with school food. there are many many many folks in organization and resource knocking on the door wanting to partner with us and bring food to sfusd food and this will help us to be able to open the door to bring them in. our underlying financial vision it happens to those resources to supplement those provided by the district. so what did this look like? it could buy behind the meter an online matching program. for example it matches a chef who wants to teach a cooking class looking for a culinary chef and also a membership program that allows any san francisco resident to become a member of school food. a resident who might not have children can participate and support school food. they can be a member. student nutrition, offers members benefits at different levels such as discounts at participating at major retailser and sfusd dinner kits. there is untapped market of individu

>> it obstructs the actual portal. >> west portal went from, maybe it will be ok, and then the cars toover. -- cars took over. >> it kind of looks that way now. this is the ocean view we were talking about. most of that is gone now. >> golden gate heights. >> 1928. that is 16th avenue down there in front of us. lots of sand dunes. houses are starting to take over. we have a later photo coming up. >> and nuance. it is there because no one wanted to live on 13th avenue. there is no 13th ave. >> there is the sunset reservoir and the sand dunes. they were building houses right on the dunes. that is 28. that is the same view in 1990. >> and the park is there. much better. >> this is westwood park. it used to be called residential park. the idea was that instead of having a bar next door to your house, this would be an exclusive residential community. the street should follow the land. they had curvilinear streets. they had decorative vases, stairways. the whole idea was someone would come home from work and he should be elevated and think great thoughts. he should not be in the hustle and b

i will be going to a community meeting out at west portal in a couple of weeks. we've done a number of curb ramp up graems -- grapes grades in the west portal area. usually it's when the community invites us to come out rather than us sending out an invitation. >> thank you. harriet? >> thank you for your presentation, mr. spielman. i have a couple of questions. can you give us a location where there is a corner of a subsidewalk basement so we can see what they look like? >> it's pretty hard to see what they look like since the basement is underneath the sidewalk. there are certain things you can tell on the surface that indicates there is a subsidewalk basement. i can get you a couple of locations if you like and you can look at them and you can seement sometimes they are the glass circles that allow light to get in from the sidewalk down to the basement or there is the place where the sidewalk opens up. there are metal doors that open up for access to get into the basement or there aren't any utility boxes in the sidewalk. so there are different clues that tell

eve was originally placed on the lintel of the north portal of autun cathedr.his was the penitence portal. it was very appropriate that eve should be here. all the capitals with narrative scenes on them are carved by gislebertus. gislebertus shows us here, for example, the adoration of the magi, cut in deep relief, often using the drill to create charming effects of texture and surface. around the corner of the capital, saint joseph sits, a little disconsolate. another scene shows the flight into egypt. and perhaps the most moving of all the scenes is the dream of the magi, in which the magi lie in their bed and the angel comes to them as if in a visn, touching their hands and pointing with his other finger to the star of bethlehem, which is to lead the magi. gislebertus' most dramatic composition is this one, the suicide of judas, where the screaming devils e even pulling on judas' rope to hasten his death. along with pilgrimage, the second great influence on romanesque art and architecture was monasticism. the monastic ideal had long been a spiritual goal of

and we are planning on adding functionality to the website for parra transit taxi riders to have a portal where they can log on and look at their debit card and taxi transaction and also add value to their credit card online and being able to order tickets online. so coming soon. >> i hear that the scanner isn't working or it's never turned on or not communicating and also telling people they just don't accept debit cards or they won't accept. it's my understanding that they are required to. i have been in a cab where they say the debit card is down and i say i have such and such amounted of money on me and i can't afford. we have negotiated a price so i can get where i'm going. i just want to say there is room for improvement in this system. i don't know how strong your relationship is with the cab companies. >> there is definitely always room for improvement. a couple of things, one is that all tax easy in san francisco are required to take the debit card. if they don't, there is a problem. all drivers are supposed to have backup slips if this system is not working. sometimes it's a cel

one at the data portals, it has a rich repository of information. but working with -- we had lots of questions, right. something maybe there were attributes or information that wasn't necessarily documented to the extent we wanted. and we asked the question, we would get these immediate responses with really insightful conversations that would come out of it. i think that type of collaboration is only going to make the portal better. the more people use it the better it's going to get. we also experienced some challenges, you know. we did a lot of work with the data. we did a lot of data, put things together. we did things like added value, added certain locations. and i would love to be able to pull that back up to a shared community portal. from what i can tell it wasn't necessarily promoted at this time, but i think there is a lot of value in that. and shannon, interrupt me if i'm speaking -- if that's -- if i'm stating anything that's incorrect. you know, i know that they went through a special process. maybe we make it a little easier, a little

doesn't require expensive gardening for native plant restoration, which is as the lady from west portal pointed out, a detraction from other park budgets. so, the maintenance alternative is economically superior and it's environmentally superior as the draft e-i-r found on page 5 25. it can be adapted. the maintenance alternative can be adapted on mount davidson we have two areas, a tree urban forest on the west side, a grass side on the right side. as you maintain or replace trees, you can do what you need to do with the grass land without having logging trucks coming in and tearing out half an acre of trees over how many years in closing public access. the draft e-i-r, the 5 62-page e-i-r that's already been produced, unnecessarily combines the park and laguna salada with mount davidson and public access in san francisco. so, it's a poorly drafted e-i-r. it should consider project by project specifications. and the final point i'll make is this commission must guide the staff because you're about to allocate 170 acres plus an added 70 acres in glenn canyon to [speaker not understood]

and then, a couple and i am not going to go through necessarily everything, and on-line business portal, we have the funding for that, and we are now in discussion and it looks like we are going to be the goal for what we are going to be accomplishing for the on-line business portal is developing sort of the entry section. and so, which, may sort of dove tail as a redesign for our office website as well. and developed some and then start transitioning the departments into an on-line fillable pdf for application forms. and so, those are kind of just the three key goals of what we want to accomplish in the next year with the budget and the funding that was received, for the business portal. and stream lining report, we are still in the final edits and so, hope to have this to you by the end of august for you to review. in terms of the goal four, so for the recycling centers and the crv, the reception value, we now have had the fourth closure of a significant recycling center are almost fourth closure with the recycling center with the market street safeway. and so which is and i reported

before you shop, always go through a shopping portal. sure, you could check over to gap.com and check out. if you go to rebates.com and click out you get 3% back on entire purchase or 4% on ebay.com or four amtrak points. there are so many portals. and i find one useful. finally use a point or cash back credit card. not only does shopping with a credit card offer you more purchase protection, it offers greater rewards. some cards give you bonus points on travel, some on office supplies. if i complice straight to the samples, i see this 18 sheet cross cut shredder. clicking through e bay gives me 2% cash back. and five chase point last dollar, which to me are worth two cents each. now, what are you going to do with a giant shredder? i don't know. maybe you can put some dollar bills in it. if you're not taking advantage of the strategies every time you shop, that's basically what you're doing. >> good stuff. here's a look at what we're working on. there was one less parking spot downtown bus of -- because of this, trees, green plants. we'l

then directly behind the screen in the central portal which admits you or admits the clergy into the sanctuary or the celebrant the one who performs the liturgy into the sanctuary right in the center on the bottom, you have three figures three male figures and they represent the liturgist or those who had composed the liturgy or the ceremony, the hymns and the entire service way back in the 4th and 5th centuries a.d. and then directly above the very large, the huge mosaic which takes you all the way up to and right into and underneath the dome into the vault area, is the anastasis which i have mentioned earlier. anastasis, which in the western tradition is called the harrowing of hell or the descent into limbo. what is very effective is that stylistically these images are connected. for example, christ wearing the blue robe with his fluttering drapery visually connects you with the movement of the two figures in the central panel the lower figures who represent-- the woman in red is eve and the figure of adam dressed in the orange. and then if you noticed the movement of their legs a

both the north and south transept portals belong to the new cathedral, built after the 1194 fire. the south side followed shortly after the north, so the samchanges we saw there are now even more advand. here, for instance is the warrior saint theodore. with a weight borne on one foot like the classical contrapposto pose he's liberated from the architectural framework. in contrast to the other biblical figures, for the first time he is dressed and armed as a contemporary 13th-century crusader. the human form and its natural depiction, now sanctioned by the church released the creative energies of the gothic sculptor. soon a variety of individualized figures blossomed on cathedrals not only in france but all over europe. the great age of gothic cathedrals was an unparalleled time of expansiveness in european society, but in saying that we mustn't forget that during those years, the mass of society was still dependent peasantry, unfree laboring under extraordinarily r soci ste it was perhaps because their lives were so harsh that the cathedral meant so much to them. there could hard

that's because for example, as we looked at the portal entries either at church or west portal where the train enters we during this trial drill down and look for repeat vehicles and repeat operators and look to see why it was failing was it mechanical >> back in april the majority were on the vehicle. we're in the process of replacing antennas and it's made a difference. i think we're going to continue to do that kind of thing to deal what the reliability issues and the procurement is up to two hundred and 15 light rails and that would really address a lot of the exchanges in terms of not having enough of light lights rail vehicles. in terms of the expansion in central subway and the growth on market street we're going to need more light rail vehicles. i also understand that muni will be replacing it's antiquated train system >> both but we've tried to set up the procurement process to take care of any car needs for the next generation. you know, with multiple optioned so as we refine our needs subject to funding and a anything else else but clearly our goal was to meet the need for

not received presentations and there are presentations i made last thursday that i made to the west portal association. tomorrow evening i will present to the bay view merchants association and discuss the concept with them. one item that has come up several times from the traditional merchant community is the fairness in all aspect of the mobile retail program and one was in regards to disabled access. we engaged with the certified specialist ak -- access. they came out and conducted measurements face they were conducting business from a brick and mortar face -- facility. all was addressed by the inspector. the focus is on readily achievable improvements like retail space. some common things as far as the design. then identifying the best way to move from the curb to the truck because most of these businesses require a customer to come up to the vehicle. as well as focusing on alternative service arrangements due to the unique challenges of getting someone in and out of a vehicle may not be possible depending on the disability. there may be notification buzzards and providing exterior cha

the other two locations that we are looking at are between west portal and 22nd and between ter val and 22nd. as i mentioned some of the challenges are the slope of the roadway. we need to make sure the slope doesn't exceed 8.33 of the platform. if it's not in the right direction, we need to build it in the direction that the slope helps to get up to the higher level platform. drive ways. sometimes we need to make sure that we are complying with the health department compliance in terms of safety getting fire trucks in that area. obviously parking. whenever parking comes up, it makes it difficult. we need some feedback. if you see there is areas that see's greater need. we are trying to get changeover time. we want to make sure that we are able to serve all the people who use the light rail system. that's kind of a quick summary in the if you minutes of the light rail system. as i said earlier, our contact information, anytime you want to talk to anyone in our department, feel free to call. we have a new administrative person who is so wonderful and someone answering the phone. please,

. >> there was a creek that came down basically through west portal and said that particular lake. >> that was filled in when they develop west portal, and they had the brilliant idea when they dug but,, they needed a place to put it, so they build the creek in with the tunnel muck. >> you can see in 1910, we are talking about after the earthquake, but outer richmond is still pretty sparsely settled. >> or anyone who ever wondered what richmond is named after, it was a guy by the name of marsh, who was from richmond, england. >> australia? >> australia? >> george turner marsh. >> no trees at all. people see trees in the city and think they may have been made. sand and scrub. at some point, these are the lives were used recreational -- these outer lands were used recreational lly. . >> there is. we hoave -- what, the third? >> depends on it you are coming the addition. but they all burned down. that was around 1900, so if you are ever stuck in traffic in the six-lane boulevard in 19th avenue, imagine what it was like back then. >> [inaudible] i would say this is after they began to dev

the portal recipe thing is great for me too. i love to look at recipes. it can show case what we are doing and not only teach families but also university students if they want to do it too. anyway. this you so much. this is very exciting. this is beautiful and again thank you so much evans williams foundation for making this really happen for us. [ applause ] . >> thank you. i'm going to close up the board comments very briefly because pretty much everybody has said what they wanted to say. i'm just going to echo my thanks to the evan williams foundation and we are obviously very grateful and there are so many ideas. it's good to see that validated and that these are good ideas and i do thinks these are good ideas. i think we need more analysis. i think commissioner wynns, i want to echo her call for a deeper analysis and i want to sit down with you to go through some of the financial assumptions because there were a number of then i didn't understand, but i think the most crucial analysis that i want to see done and will help us build out some of these

small business portals on the federal exchanges won't begin until november.it won't start until january 1st. a government shutdown certainly won't help matters, but when it comes to these exchanges, kelly and scott, the bigger question is really the technology right now. back to you. >> certainly a lot of glitches, a lot of headaches, and now the government shutdown on top of it all. thank you very much. as we said, the health care insurance exchanges open tomorrow to begin enrollment for health insurance before obama care kicks in but we're less than eight hours away from a possible government shutdown. how does that impact enrollment? >> with us is the ceo of connecticut's health insurance exchange and jay is a former official at the department of health and human services. mr. kunahan, can you give us an idea of how connecticut is ready or is not ready to deal with all of this as we hear about a number of issues around the country? >> sure. we are very fortunate at access health connecticut. we are prepared to go online and open tomorrow both for our indiv
