we have a presentation by the firm rhdg. >> before rhdg began as the presentation, we have had some discussions. at our retreat we talked about possibly a new logo for the commission. in the discussion of taking a look at another logo and taking a look at different departments, i have presented to you in the past a couple of meetings ago an overview. we're looking at more of a department identity. as we begin to grow, and we're having more interfacing in a departmental manner. what we have worked with is to help us develop a department identity. and while the commission's lago is here, we can take a look at our next retreat. and continue or develop a new logo. in regards to the discussion we had, we have the office of small business and the business assistance center. the office of small business tends to me the name that is communicated in more of a department-department relationship. and then we can move into possibly we have an assistant center at the office of small business. many individuals confuse the small business assistance center with the fba. we needed to figure out a way to disting

they were delighted to have me present. they appreciated that i was there and they are very aware of the small business commission, as you can probably tell from some of the proceedings this evening around handicapped access. they also made it very clear to me that they will provide any support for issues we think are important. they would offer their opinions on issues going forward. not that they're not doing that already anyway. that is it for me. >> the vice president of the report. >> i have nothing to report at this time. >> commission reports. >> i just want to let of i did attend the nondiscrimination for prior arrest or conviction hearing that we held on july 25. there were presentations from the public defender's office, the district attorney. members of the reentry council as well as the human rights commission. it was a very broad discussion about the issues around discrimination. one in four california adults has a prior are rust or conviction and with the rise of credit reports and background checks, there are

[applause] >> it's been my privilege to be at dr. martin luther king middle school since it's been at the present site. i on

it was a terrific presentation and there were aspects of your report, the way you presented that weren't what we've seen before and it was very personal with the individual names of the community advisory boards and the breakdown of staff and so on. i really appreciate getting all of that. i wanted to just clarify a few things. the chart in connection with property crimes, d.u.i.'s and so on that are comparing to 2010, are they comparisons to the same date in 2010 or is it for the entire year? >> it's year to date. >> year to date, so that when we get to the traffic accidents where it's broken down into fatal injury and damage, those are a comparison to 2010 at the same time at the end of august? >> no, those are current to our date right now. that's the year to date with regards to 2010. ours are just current. >> oh, ok, so 2010 is for the whole year. >> yes, it is. >> ok, but the previous incident report, is it for the whole year, 2010 as well? or just a comparison of year to date in both 10 and 11? >> in the year 2010 it was year to date. subsequently it's compared to -- yes. 2010 is

you had the presentation last month. there are a couple of other pieces of legislation we heard a while back that is still being held in committee. in regards to the ata, we want to provide you with an update that july 26, we held a presentation with the glenn parker merchants association. on august 3, carmen chu's office assembled a panel for the merchants of district four, along with the sf bar association. the opportunity fund gave a presentation and carla johnson from the mayor's office talked about cash. that panel was televised and is now running periodically on sfgtv. we have linked it to our website. on october 16, the mission in lower 24th merchants are having a meeting. i will be working with them to bring together a panel. their meetings are from 11:30 to 1:00 p.m. from 1130 until 1:00. it is on tuesday, midday. if you are available, i invite you to come. i want to a knowledge of the merchant's association. they were extraordinarily proactive with the video store, and there will be inspections. they did do the

you are making a great and good presentation. tplanning and transportation and hopefully were -- open space will work with each other. and increase liability. even if things change, we maintain and enhance quality which makes us unique. it is the way departments work together. and the creative solutions and your presentation is the open door to let us see what we're doing. >> i am encouraged by sf park. i can figure where i can park. when we break, wi can go get my car. lots of blue lines around city hall. i like your comments and presentation with respect to greening electric vehicles and all that, the more hybrids we get, the more electric vehicles we get will come along that will address the carbon footprint in one way. it is not going to address it in other ways. my cynical view is when private sector comes along to offer those kinds of vehicles, there are few out there. not sure the volt is completely electric. as the get smaller, people will turn to that kind of alternative and things will be as congested as they are now. m

i appreciate the presentation by mr. campbell and the work that has gone into it, but i have to say that i am disappointed that the san francisco puc did not act on this. we all know that the discussions and conversations, negotiations have been ongoing for quite some time. some of the questions and issues that came up, i think, are issues that have come up before, and it is somewhat frustrating that those issues remain unresolved. my hope and expectation would be that the puc would indeed have a special meeting in august so there is a full vetting of the term sheet, so we understand what the concerns are and what we're going to do about those concerns, but i think it is important from my perspective to get a commitment on the part of the san francisco public utilities commission by having an actual vote to this program. i think that that would be my hope and expectation, and i would ask that -- i mean, i agree with ms. miller that it makes sense for us to continue any approval of a term sheet because that may change, bu

vice president client: -- clyde: think you for your presentation. -- thank you for your presentation. this is right after income taxes are due and right after the difficult time of the year, at least in the hospitality industry typically, so there will need to be quite a vote bit of outreach done -- there will need to be quite a bit of outreach done. there was a wisdom in these fees and licenses being issued at different times throughout the year, so it will take some significant outreach. i believe for the smaller businesses and people who might be encountering cash flow problems. i do know, i will say that i believe the tax collector's office generally works with taxpayers to the best of their ability, and i would like to just hope that as you develop this rollout that you have some room to assist people in case, you know, inadvertently they are not going to be -- we know that in the downturn, the tax collector and the treasure worked very hard to minimize the impact on businesses and help them pay, so it really is a concern, is a figure for the work that you have done. i agree it w

that wraps up my presentation. i am happy to take questions afterwards. if there are no questions at the moment, i will turn control of the presentation over to megan wier. >> good afternoon, commissioners. i am an epidemiologist with the program on health, equity, and sustainability with the san francisco department of public health. for over five years, we have been part of the task force. we were asked to join the task force to for support the community planning process and provide data, analyses, and expertise, and looking at how planning decisions and that the health of our communities. including factors such as housing and job conditions, transportation systems, pedestrian safety, noise and air quality, and access to open space, schools, child care, and community facilities. in support of our work to advance health considerations in planning committee to permit a public health develop a measurement tool which reflects the vision that as our city grows, we must provide the necessary infrastructure and community design elements december help the commu

i will give you a presentation on our presentation in the air district's pilot program. commissioners, you have this presentation on the screen in front of you. what i am going to do first is give you an overview of what bike sharing is, talk about the concept, technology, " working with typical of administrations in the program, and then i will introduce the specifics of the original pilot. then i can wrap things up by talking about a couple specific examples of locations on the waterfront that we have been in discussion with with port staff. first of all, what is bike sharing? it is similar to car sharing, but it uses bicycles. it is a membership-based concept which offers bicycles for short-term highere. one of the main differences from car sharing is you can return a bicycle to a different point from where you pick it up, anywhere within the system. this is not a new idea, but something which has gained a lot of popularity in the past five years as technology has come down in cost and we have been able to implement systems for more cheaply and incorporate a

when they presented to the group, the presentations. as we walked around and they gave us individual presentations that they have done and gave some scale models. moving on from that, when we look forward, we know that there are a lot of resources that come along with this kind of project. we want to make sure that we spend them well and do that as a part of the work we are doing for education as well. we created and education task force as part of the campaign for hope sf. it is one of three task forces to determine how money for hope sf would be spent. a private taskforce came together with 18 members. we met a total of four times and had deep sessions and came up with a list of recommendations in key areas. we adopted some objectives that are pretty much in line with the district's. our objective as a district, providing high-quality early care and education and moving through all the way from the high-quality preschool to ready ness for college and career. and the steps that link those together. this was around parent and community
