improvement program, to show that we were establishing a new program baseline. the revised program budget was 4.3 $4 billion bbn -- $4.34 billion. were made later revisions in 2008 and 2009. the latest revisions were for $4.9 billion, and the overall program cost remains at $4.9 billion. now, but i would like to do is walk you through the three major parameters of the program and tell you what has changed. on the scope side, basically, we did not add or delete any projects to the wsip since the program was approved in 2009. in fact, the overall scope of the program is essentially the same. only minor project scopes were revised. there were only " for regional projects -- there were only four regional project documented separately. there in the slide. i would like to point out the last two of these four projects are what we call support projects. what that means is the need to be completist to successfully complete the program, but they did not likely contribute to the goals of the program. one change of wanted to highlight is the fact that we will we want to tra

supervisor mirkarimi: and then, based on the program capacity of the programs provided by the sheriff's department and their network of programs, they are already challenged in some ways based on the population that they have to attend to now. without an infusion of more funds or more resources, does that not just then passed those programs -- task those programs that much more, since we are relying on them to make a difference of whether there is a repeat offender rate that is reduced or sustained? >> certainly. to the extent that those programs reach their capacity and there are not more resources added to them to expand capacity, it will start causing that block between a seamless sort of transition, but i will say that the charter high school, for example, uses no city funds, and we have been in meetings with them, and they have expanded tremendously since their inception five, six, seven years ago. and they have come up with several ideas of how they might provide both in-custody expansion as well as community program expansion. we are working with them on that development because

the dark green program was an opt in the program. remember, their program parameters are different than ours. president vietor: the low-income would still have a reduced rate, but it would still go up, right? >> it would be a subsidized rate. the generation co our service is higher than the generation component of pg&e's service. the overall discount will be comparable. and we're working out the details on how that discount will be applied. president vietor: that will be on the term sheet as well? >> it is more of a rate-making issue. we have discussed it with shell so they understand. but it is more of a rate making issue. president vietor: isn't that going to be part of the financial discussion of what needs to be put up up front and the numbers will play out? >> yes, but what the total revenue stream is that shelled needs to support the program -- that shell needs to support the program, and the dividing up peace is something we have discretion over. >> and you'll be getting a rate package also. that is not until early next year.

i am very committed to this program. i know the potential it could have on the reduction of greenhouse gas emissions. it could be a huge player driving the market. as far as what we need to be doing as a city to reduce and comply with the state mandate that we are all scrambling to comply with. so i really want to see this program succeed. i would move to continue this item until september. any other comments from the commissioner? >> what percludes us from having a hearing in august? >> we could have a special meeting on this item. but i don't know. maybe i will take that off-line with the general manager and we can talk about that. >> thank you. it would be interest to see what they come up with in their further thoughts as well. are there public comments on this item? >> eric brooks, i am here representing san francisco green party. i was glad to hear a lot of commissioners raise a lot of concerns about financials of the potential for this program rolling out. you can potentially continue it or you can send it on to t

we think this program is increasingly important, and it has elements of programs that we think could be replicated for other categories of offenders, especially those who are economically driven to engage in crime. that is the overview of what the district attorney's office has been working on. we have been really honored to work with chief still, and our community justice and criminal justice partners. thank you. supervisor mirkarimi: thank you. i do not believe there's any questions right now. thank you to the district attorney's office. public defender's office, please. >> good morning, supervisors. i am the director of specialty courts and reentry programs at the public defender's office. the public defender's primary role is to safeguard the due process rights and the liberty interests of the individuals that will now be served -- that will be affected by this new law. as the other departments have been impacted, our department will be impacted as well. the plan we have created involves a realignment team consisting of an attorney, a social worker, and a criminal justice special

there's a lot of great programs. i noticed these programs are sporadic. there's a couple at this school and this school. maybe a year, 2 years. there's maybe one program. not that many programs that we invest in long term. i was looking at this the other day with the contents. if you look at the back. there's a charter of the usfd. violence prevention chart. the most important part for me is the school wide behavior program. what's been found to be the best way to prevent violence is have a school wide program. it has to be embedded in your curriculum. the different ways you create different rules in class and how do deal with that. there's an entire school investment that has to be involved in this. there are tribes chants. is one method. but you notice. it's some schools. 3 or 4. maybe they had it for a year. it's not a consistent thing across the school district. it's frustrating. the elementary schools have some sort of program, which is an entire positive school climate that includes curriculum. what i would suggest or advocate for. for everyone inve

the program is huge. reprogrammed schedule provisions put completion of the program beyond the date to which san francisco committed in that water supply agreement. in reviewing the proposed recommendations by your staff, we worked very hard to provide constructive recommendations and we ask the commission to incorporate them in your actions today. we really do appreciate the proposed amendments. we really do think they speak to the concerns we raise, and we appreciate the relationship we have. thank you very much. if additional questions, mr. jensen is here. thank you very much. president vietor: thank you. mr. jensen? commissioners, do you of questions? >> i guess i have a related question. i do not know if this is for bawsca or for our staff. , george do we think the current project estimates are -- how mature do we think the current project estimates are? what are the current dollar estimates going to be? one of the initial proposals said we say no more revisions. i am curious as to how confident we a

we don't have an argument with that program. we want to be included with those type of programs. the rest of the coalition will be here later. we're looking for a more robust-of-why, creative, job creation opportunity. we don't want it in the portion after everything's in place and we're playing catch-up. it's time to change those policies that you guys have been using and really engage this community who has been long waiting for this. you have the seta programs when you built this wastewater treatment, some of those guys game in in that seta program and it's failed them. we've don't want to see this with our youth coming in on 9910. we like them to come in the way the other people come in with other options coming in. thank you. president vietor: thank you very much. >> mr. david pelto. >> good afternoon, commissioners. just a couple of brief points. first i wanted to appreciate my , who isn't here yet, doing wonderful work balancing requirements and frying to make this meeting happen. to that end i want to encourage you and the general manager and the staff to try to get agend

if we don't have any program, we have no customers. thinking that there is a program that you could build out local generations without a source of funding does not really work. i think that some of the stakeholders have understood which took us several years to explain that they're not free. if you issue bonds, someone must pay them back. if you're going to issue bonds, you have to of customers to pay them back or have some revenue stream to pay them back. that is not a clear concept that is in this scope. this scope says that you should be building. that is not something that works for me. there is a lot problems to try to go out and see how you might do a pro forma so that you could build something, be happy to work on that. if you would do solar, how you would afford to pay for it, all the regulations that you deal with, that would be a great scope of work. you have to go out and change the permits or two different things to be able to do these build ounce, happy to work on that. if you want to pick out the sites and figure out whe

a machinist program is another program that was really led by the leadership of wastewater and as thesistant general manager he is seeing there is a growing field around machinists and he has seen models where this has worked and is in conversation with the san francisco school district about a model program that could be housed here. for people that don't spend a lot of time in district 10 you may not understand why the club is on the power point but many in the room probably know why the sewing club is there. we have heard from many members that it was seniors that really had a lot of value around the sewing classes offered by city college. so that is one of the programs that we have heard over and over is important to reinstate in the space. the ability to align the arts enrichment dollars with this building. so everything from talking about a rotating gathering that would be in the space that with highlight the art of local artists to doing historical work. so, even espinola's history of the center and we have talked about everything from doing an oral history project, et cetera.

program. for example, what is it destined to do? the yellow ribbon program is a reserve component program we use in the national guard that brings service members together at various points through the deployment process, before they deploy and then at certain days after they deploy. and it allows them, with their family members, to come back and start talking about reintegrating into civilian life, which is very different. anyone who has ever deployed, whether it's outside of the united states or even to a disaster here, is going to be affected by that deployment. and that will have an impact on the family. so, yellow ribbon events are meant to bring them back, tell them about what benefits they have, what's out there for them, and to really get eyes on individuals so they can follow up individually with that person about the program or the challenge that they might be dealing with. and some of the other programs you mentioned? yes, there's an employer support for the guard and reserve. one o

, was on everybody's favorite program, the space station program. so throughout the clinton administration when, you know, when the program was finally solidified from a political perspective by bringing the russians in, um, at the same time every two years there was a budget overrun or cost growth of multiple billions of dollars. and it always had to be worked out. and my impression of those battles was that in the end, you know, the schedule slipped, but nasa got the same program content for the station, some minor changes here and there. at the beginning of the bush administration, there was a $4 billion i believe it was overrun on space station that was presented to the omb within the first couple months, and the result of that was omb and the white house pushed back and said you don't get any more money. you don't get to keep, you know, the content. you have to cut content in order to meet your goals. that resulted in what was called u.s. core complete which dramatically, i'd say, reduced the capability of the station, kept a lot of the scienti

program. your questions for the very end of the program and when the q&a session arrives, because we were taping this for c-span, please make sure you state your name and your organization or affiliation. thank you. >> next week of the ronald reagan administration. the reagan administration was marked by the program arms control, the beginning of the space shuttle program. and unfortunately the space shuttle challenger disaster and a few other events occurring as well. the bombing in beirut, the american embassy in beirut, but a very lively area and to discuss the ronald reagan administration we had mr. gill rye. a director of space and intelligence programs on a national security council staff in the white house. he was also the executive secretary to the senior interagency group for states which oversaw the military, civil and commercial sectors of the u.s. space program. it is indeed my honor to introduce mr. gil rye. >> thank you. well, good morning. i am reminded of an introduction a frie

there is a lot of desire ability in this program. we are ok with it moving to the board is that other work is released. for you taking the time and to be responsive with these questions. thank you. >> think you. -- thank-you. >> obviously, there is great importance in the program that is an important piece of the entire scheme. the basic question about local jobs generated by this program is not the answer. i applied for item 12 to be approved. this would create union jobs, jobs that would create participation in this program. >> thank you. >> miss miller is our executive officer and she asked me to speak on delaying sending this to the board. there is a lot of procedural items that need to occur. we know that the entire program is not available. we would like to see this item move to the full board. we understand some of the concerns going on like it being too large. there are some ways to mitigate that. if you try to get people that are -- and you could lower the amount. we're not talking of businesses in this program, we're only t

or passion about the program. a single stage to orbit i learned a very important lesson which is about policy never trump's physics. so you can say whatever you want, but if you can't do it coming and we wanted to build a single stage door -- to the orbit and the camera with a beautiful concept that looked like the future we just didn't have the technology. and ultimately we did not have the will either. >> i wouldn't say that national security space was a loss under our -- under the administration. i think a lot of great programs were developed, but i can't really take credit for any of that is what i am saying. there were a lot of good people working and we were not really deeply involved in that, so i think with that i will wrap it up again this is a fascinating exercise and i look forward to hearing how the story is going to end. [applause] thank you, richard. now we are at the second bush administration of george will you bush where the world begins to change again you have one of the interesting perspectives

a strong leadership role in the space program and then technology. it comes from the space program. develop a lot of technology. i'm not even aware of. and you mentioned some of them earlier and of course there's also the issue of jobs thousands of people will be losing them these are highly qualified people they are in some cases now the employees are pretty well paid how well someone like yourself just what can you do now. i will have to start from scratch you know too much into my search. i'll probably find something outside of the space program and yes myself and a lot of other people go we're going to be affected by. two thousand people you know it's going to be an. do you think you know you being an aerospace technician someone like yourself or an aerospace engineer that maybe has been doing this for thirty years do you think that someone like that can retrain for something else and is that what needs to happen but all the skills you have. definitely. hopefully with aviation programs taken off we may have a chance to go in and out the reaction. the u.s. president is interestin

making sure transit and non- transit programs are eligible. we see a lot of requests for pedestrian improvements. we want to make sure we have flexible funding. we have a number of efforts related to year end closing. on prop k funds, we allocated $80 million. based on the 2009 strategic plan and the 5ypp, 73% of the money that we could have allocated. $74 million of this is from programmatic categories. most of it is in six categories, muni vehicles, guideways, us rapid transit, calming traffic, and muni facilities. we have received our first two checks from the vehicle registration fee. we are still paying off the department of the elections. this will be a pay-as-you-go program. we expect to allocate later this year. the summer, we have initiated projects with project sponsors. any eligible public agency that can deliver reliability improvements. we will be working on out region this summer with the planning division through the transportation plan. in september, the proposed schedule and approach for the strategic plan. this was approved w

programs. therefore they approve the programs for fiscal year 2011 until 2012 was permitted by section 326 05, and therefore be it resolved the board of education's those approved the proposed funding to attach the categorical funding and has made explicit the categories for which the funds will be used. on page 8 it basically was the initial categorical programs -- it basically with the initial categorical programs. we keep these in the same sequence as the original programs that were restricted, and we have shown the projected revenue is $58 million. we are also showing the expenditure budget is $42 million being used in a similar method of a worth -- that they were being used prior to being flexible, and in the last column you see they reflect the $60 million is part of the budget and basically is to offset the general fund, which includes across -- the cost of the formula and other items. if it was not for that, we would have to cut more money for other areas of our budget. the next one exc

in addition to the san francisco home improvement program, there's a program called the energy agreed california program, and it is designed to help all want -- homeowners make energy efficiency improvements to the home and offset the cost. up to four thousand dollars for pg&e utility customers available for doing things that you might want to do already, adding insulation or reducing traps in your home, replacing the water europe -- water healeheater. not only do you save energy and money and reduce your current footprint, but you'll be much more comfortable in your home. >> grade, thank you. again, in san francisco, we're actually a prime target for this program, because the folks who should consider this program the most are folks who are owning older homes. margaret's home was built in the 1880's. we have a lot of homes built in the 1920's and in 1930's. those homes are prime targets for this program in terms of having a leaky windows and older furnaces and water heaters, all the upgrades we would normally do. in addition to this program, we're also going to be working on a green

the timeline for the program, each project it's in the program by planning, the timeline is currently a plus in terms of the joint projects being completed. what we really need is validation on the cost and delivery mechanism for the schedule for the boat -- for the program. we really appreciate the budget ellis -- budget analysts help in learning about the improvement program and capturing the key elements in the report before you. supervisor chu: thank you. mr. rose? >> members of the committee, this was recommended by the pec based on a competitive process. $10 million per year for a 15 year term. payments will be administered on a test basis. table two, page 5 of our report, provides a breakdown of the budget. the bulk of that would be labor. $134 million. an average hourly rate of $206.30 for an estimated 36,000 hours. the puc estimates the cost at issuing commercial paper on page 6 of our report, a $150 million principal and $159 million in total cost of $340.2 million based on an annual interest rate of 5.5%. in terms of the impact on a single-family residence on the bottom of

geographic program. so we've tried to do the best we could there but there are other geographic programs that mr. dicks is concerned about and that mr. moran is also concerned about and we'll work with the gentleman in conference in trying to address the concerns expressed by the gentleman. mr. clarke: i ask the gentleman to yield time back, please. mr. simpson: i'd be pappy -- happy to yield. mr. clarke: i offer this amendment because of what's at stake. it's a $7 billion industry in the great lakes fishing industry and right now metro detroit and the state of michigan's in very hardhit economic times, you know, by our industrial base being eviscerated. this is the one saving grace in our state and in that region is the fishing industry. that's the reason why i'm asking for this right now. it's emergency action. we found asian carp d.n.a. in lake michigan last week. i believe i've got to do everything in my power as a representative of not only michigan but of that entire region to stop that carp from g

there is a separate program called state's criminal alien assistance program, which is unrelated, and it only reimburses for about 10 cents on the dollar and only in a limited number of cases. because it unfairly and unnecessarily burdens local law enforcement with immigration enforcement, the sheriff asked to opt out of the program altogether. you probably heard about this in the news. through a series of misleading and contradictory statements last fall, iced refuse to allow san francisco out of the program, instead pointing to california's agreement at the state level that implements scom. now, there is legislation pending in sacramento at the state level that would reform california's agreement with ice. the bill is sponsored by assembly member tom ammiano. key provisions include allowing counties to opt in or out up scom, depending on law enforcement and community concerns. also provides protection for victims of a crime and provides that count is that what to participate develop a plan available to the public explaining how they will address racial profiling concerns. given the

the reason to bring on the program manager is to work with the city and to bring waste water program management technical expertise to assist us with the planning and validation of the program and to employ the valuable lessons we've learned, and make sure we have high quality assurance, a high quality control, and the best technical and program control expertise. the commission, at that time, directed us to move forward quickly, as quickly as possible. today, we have a contract, 15- year in duration, not to exceed $150 million. as you may recall, the reasons for the duration were presented, because of the lessons learned. the contractors wanted to -- we wanted them to be the best. the best experts we could get. the people selected for this term are prohibited from bidding on other work planning design and construction management. we will be a partnership for a 15-year duration to implement the sewer system improvement program. two of the projects that are the biggest that would be out of the day immediately will be the southeast improvement and the project. they total $3 billion wor

as quickly as possible. >> for this program, it is a work experience program. young people are paid a wage. we cannot get around federal labor laws. there are other program designs that could be looked at, paying a stipend or looking at a day labor program model. this model is set up as a work experience program. we have no way of working around that. commissioner maufas: i would like to encourage you to take that back to the table. >> there is a large group that i think would be happy to speak to you about that. commissioner maufas: if they can answer questions, i would be happy. supervisor cohen: if we have a representative who would like to speak? >> good afternoon, madam chair and the committee. first of all, my name is carl alexander. i served as the pastor of technology for the true love church. i am honored to address the fact that san francisco is a world- class city. that makes the board of supervisors a world-class body of supervisors. i would like to personally thank the chair for this opportunity to speak briefly about this historical moment. i woul

it is taking a fresh step of fixing programs. hopefully next year, and the summers after that, somebody my age will have a chance of making a difference in district 10. commissioner maufas: is it keith? and i think you very much for presenting. -- thank you very much for presenting. thank you for sharing that you were looking through the summer for employment and found employment through this but also participated in helping make it come about. you can speak first him to -- firsthand to what the program needs. i am sure you have many friends who have needs as well. that is something i experienced. my daughter is around that age. i hear from people beyond the age of 18 and there are not a plethora of programs of summer employment for young people who have not finished college, who are still in school, who are trying to live on their round or with friends, or are still with family, and being a contributor. i hope this program can figure out how to nuance itself, after you do the evaluation and see how it runs, on how to incorporate

>> yes. >> tell me about your program, the nova program? >> it's part of the work force investment act and northern california chapterer and it's pro match to enhance their skills and marketing themselves and networking. we hope they can find a job fit. >> it is a free service. >> how does it work. do they find you on line or come in the door? >> a lot of sit words of mouth. its development product development we join up between edd and nova. >> and you are one of lucky recipients. tell me what happened to you. >> i was unemployed and i signed up for career counseling and was able to get into pro match about two or three months later because at that time there was waiting list. i took the various classes on how to present yourself and make a resume and thorough job search with their help i was able to land a job which i started in the middle of may. >> how did you hear about it? >> the job itself i found when i used to link in by working with nova. >>. >> this jock has much more autonomy to it and working with the or the organization and ma

she has also worked as a consultant for the california high speed rail program, in the program management office, developing th. she brings program level management experience. she has even been the owner of her own firm. we are delighted to have her with us. commissioner mirkarimi: welcome. >> the last thing, when the annual audit, auditors have finished the field work. although they have to continue their detailed work in september, i can predict a clean on it again. thank you to cynthia fong and her staff. -- clean audit again. and that concludes my report. commissioner mirkarimi: thank you. colleagues, any comments or questions for either my report, or the executive director's? any public comment? public comment is closed. item five. >> item 5. reappoint jackie sachs to the citizens advisory committee. this is an action item. commissioner mirkarimi: comment? seeing none. public comment is closed. roll call. we have 10 ayes. commissioner mirkarimi: item 6 please. >> item 6. approve the fiscal year 2011/2012 transportation fund for clean air program of projects. this is an action item.

hybrid between a loan program now and a grant program. since the stimulus expired in funding for these provisions returned to normal level, unfortunately the principal for giveness provision has remained. this bill rolls back prestimulus funding levels but it doesn't roll back the stimulus -- prestimulus federal strings. so my amendment removes the federal mandate of principal forgiveness and gives the state discretion on the amount they would like to offer. they will be able to provide principal forgiveness of up to 30%. communities rely on these funds to ensure their infrastructure security and safe drinking water. by supporting my amendment, you could leverage your state and community as i cross all -- all across our nation to get the much-needed infrastructure assistance. it is a very bipartisan focus on this. this is one of the priorities from the president in his budget proposal that he requested the same thing and it also for conservatives and others gives back the states the rights to be able to make those decisions. and with that
