we also have a pretty city. that attracts a lot of businesses. we have certain parts of the city that have really great thinking going on. you see california, as of state. our hospitals attract a lot of minds and attention. -- uc california, sf state. >> it looks like we are just about of time. thank you for being on your district supervisor. we have been talking to supervisor at a loss from district 11. join us next time when we will be back with one of our 11 mr. supervisors. -- we have been talking to supervisor john avalos from district 11. join us next time when we will be back with one of our >> here we are at the embarcadero. we are standing at one of locations for the street artists. can you tell me about this particular location, the program? >> this location is very significant. this was the very first and only location granted by the board of supervisors for the street artist when the program began in 1972. how does a person become a street artist? there are two major tenants. you must make the work yourself and you must sell the work y

from across the city, that is actually pretty broad section of the city. this and salad dressing and plates and utensils. i hope we can raise a play or bold celebrate this new law. >> i would like to introduce karen. the key to this ordinance is that not only growing the fruit -- the food is illegal. it illegal. it is still illegal for the next five minutes. but selling it was the key to this. as you know, when it comes to local food production, san francisco has a lot of fight establishments that tried their best to use local food. the neighborhood gathering place in the district, she is here to talk about her work and her support of this. >> with my partner and amazing staff, we run it as a place i hope you'll will visit. i hope i don't start crying partly through what i have to say. the key for inviting me to be here and explain why the passage or the adoption of this is important to the business. like a lot of others, we are committed to sourcing the highest quality ingredients with of the most environmental sensitivity possible. practically speaking,

city. that's pretty much all i have to say. god bless you all. >> thank you. we're going to answer a few of the questions before andy gets up. the gentleman from c.p.a. in terms of the revenue ideas, there's a debate as to what's progressive revenue, what's not. but anyway, having said that, we have been studying ways in which we could potentially raise revenue in the city, ways with which we can reach agreement with the board of supervisors and potentially the public. what's been the most challenging is that most of the ideas that we've had so far will require a two-thirds vote of the members of the public. and in doing that, there is very slim chances for a lot of the ideas to go forward when you acquire those two-thirds vote, because that's what the state law requires at this time. having said that, too, we have idea that might be on the border of progressive. the governor has proposed they pass taxes at the state level to extend, but there seems to be a viewpoint that perhaps he may not have the votes in the state legislature to pass those taxes. in that c

the city spends $1 million to go get $30 million. it is a pretty good return. even wall street would think that. >> [inaudible] >> the beginning of the year, yes, that is right. >> [inaudible] >> i think the nine-month report was -- i will have to go back and double check, but i think it was, like, $55 million. but we can get that. yes. we are very happy because part of the reason there's a little bit of lag time is we do the assessments, and the other side is the one who collects the money. part of it is making sure we are constantly seeking up, and we are ecstatic that we can help cut out almost 20% of the $300 million deficit, save a lot of jobs. great. the only thing i was going to say was [inaudible] oh, yes. the only thing i would hold out is obviously, we have worked about 12,000 appeals this year, but we did hand out a chart of all the appeal still remaining. i think we still have about 6000 appeals still left. that is going to require a lot of time. the reason why this is important to note is that if we do not challenge the appeals, then the city would

generation for non-city facilities, and energy efficiency conservation programs for city facilities, which is pretty much a direct general fund subsidy by taking care of lighting, hvac and other types of programs. we cut all three of those programs by a similar amount. in each case, they went from mid-$40 million to about $50 million over the next 10 years. we thought that was judicious. we still think it is. if you look at the non-power side of hetch hetchy, it is basically a flat budget over the next few years. we did not make changes because it was substantially funded through water rates. >> just a question for you, what kind of work would be done for example in the transmission distribution system line? >> we were hoping to upgrade those lines so we could take more power down from the mountains and sell it differently and make more money. we did not leave the money in to upgrade the systems for additional funds and programs in san francisco. supervisor chu: for your powerhouse line, what does the $69.4 million left allow you to do? >> we have three major power houses. they are aging. they have

places in many instances are much greater or really close because if you look at a map of where pretty much a city is in relation to the actual nuclear facility about the plant number one where a lot of bad radiation. reading from the winds are bringing that radiation in it to frequency shima city and the rain in the wind is blowing the radiation in this direction so we were at a spot where the radiation levels were one thousand times what is considered to be a safe dosage so. very very dangerous levels and so scientists that we are working with today. different universities are working together on projects or trying to figure out ways to use a simple mistakes to actually clean that radiation up and these guys actually i can assure you these crimes. are working to decontaminate the soil right now. and as you can see these two gentlemen are wearing any protective clothing put the scientists are so one of the concerns is that you can actually have one spot which it's only thirty chimes in the accepted norm a little zone then you go to another spot which is just a metre away and it can jump five hund

but overall the city was pretty quiet this year. same with howard street fair. this is an event that has gone on for years. it is well organized. there is rarely any problem. this year was a typical year. it was a very well put together event. there was one are to sound complaints that were dealt with immediately, on the spot. we had them turn the sound down. the attendance fee was lower. there is not a reason for that. but talking with officers on site, it was a good-sized crowd this year, but definitely smaller than it has been in the past. some of the venues we are looking into currently -- lime, the room, circlo, 1121 howard street -- some are non-permitted events. you will see notices of violation. you will see an attractive citations, when given in the last two -- you will see administrative citations, one given in the last two weeks. this is divided into quality of life, basic incidents, and violence. most of these, i know officer matthias from central has spoken on. there was an incident on broadway, security having trouble with a patron. they brought th

i was pretty much in every city in the union. i am an immigrant, but i never met a fellow american who had been to as many cities as i have. i installed telecommunications networks. it is true that people around the country and around the world will tell you that san francisco does have something that is unique. if you go to a midwest city are some of the other cities that don't have the aggressive control that san francisco does about, "wait a minute. let's think about what is going on." these cities, you drive from the airport downtown, and it is mcdonald's and kentucky fried chicken. it is hard not to be unimpressed by it. that is definitely something that is precious to san franciscans. you probably have to be some consistent to really appreciate that, but everyone sees it when they come here. they may not see what it takes to keep it that way. i am behind that wholeheartedly. we are a small business commission. it is probably fair to say we are going to have a slight bias to the small business people. that is why this commis

pretty comfortable. it's not out of control tonight. tomorrow, we're thinking the city will be around 95 degrees but there will be many spots, especially north, that could get above that. thursday, also another real hot day, probably the hottest day of the week at 97. both of these days will be really humid and the heat advisory we'll talk about in a moment. friday, about 93 degrees and saturday 86. we're not thinking we're going to see much in the way of thunderstorms tomorrow. maybe a slight chance on thursday and a slight chance on friday, but maybe for the weekend as we see the temperatures begin to drop, we'll have a chance for a shower and thunderstorm as the cool front gets closer. today we had a little bit of a cirrus cloud cover. that was from a complex of storms moving south through west virginia and a little bit of a debris cloud got on top of us. we're not going to have that tomorrow. that was a nice thin veil that helped temperatures to not get
