like the program? >> i don't know if they've conducted surveys. they have about a 20% opt-out rate. most customers enrolled in marina enrolled in the light green program, not the dark green program, although they do have some success with the dark green program. and now they're in their about 2-1/2 years into operations, they are constructing local generation. they have committed to large scale solar projects, not locally site-ed, but within california. they are achieving success on that aspect of the program. >> [speaker not understood]? >> they are getting solar from bakersfield. they are also getting solar from a solar shade over a parking lot in marin civic center area. so, they have both local generation coming from this program as well as remotely site-ed generation from this program. >> is that part of our -- >> long-term goal? * our goal in this program is to have the local build. we will have local build immediately through the go solar sf program. then the question becomes in the later phases

green tariff option program pg and e is proposing is an opt-in pro program so it's projected that the differences that i communicated to you are pretty fair to assume given that that key difference in the enrollment strategies. pg and estimating is estimating their price premium to be about 6 dollars a month if r the average residential customer in pg and e territory, the proceeding had been put on hold in order to allow parties to come to agreement on pg and e's propose sal and all party settlement was not reached, and evidentiary hearings are scheduled march 19-31 at this point, there's going to be a rehearing conference at the california pu next week and that will give us a update, we don't expect to see a puc on this green tariff option until 2014, although there isn't an all party settlement, there are parties included in talk to pg and influence. >> can you describe a bit more about what type of service they're going to have, so if a person signs up for their green e energy certified renewable energy program, are they receiving 100% of their actual electricity needs through this

program. we have a huge problem in our city with cigarette litter. we found that through our litter audits that we have done, we have a higher rate of cigarette litter in our cities compared to other cities in canada. expanded again in 2010 to include needle disposal and i said in the other session, this is what i am escaping from in edmonton right now. yay, san francisco. so we have a snow angel program where we ask citizens to voluntarily shovel the snow off their neighbor's lawns. so these are all the programs offered by the capital city clean up program. we started in 2005 as part of the waste management branch and this past year in 2012 we were moved to the community standards branch which is where we are housed now. so we have a very strong link with our programs between the programs that we offer and the community standards or community bylaw ordinances that we're operating under. the lation that we focus in on is 14614, that is the bylaw that governs litter pick up in the city. communi

they will be using this program. i am excited to hear that you might expand to the professional services because there are a lot of rfps in the city and with the artificial barriers regarding the laws and we hope to see development with that. >> commissioner o'brien? >> yes, just a comment on one of the things that i discovered from the system. it would be great to ensure a response to a contractor if they will be get the bond or not as early as possible. because really the first thing that he really has to know do i have a bond or not? because that is the difference between am i going to take on the job or not? and the minute that he makes a decision that he is taking on the job he has to start spending money right away. >> correct. >> and it is unfortunate if a contractor starts spending money, only to find out later, that he is not going to get the bond, that is kind of a killer for a small business with their cash flow needs, so just one comment that i put there. >> totally understand that. and that is one of the

one that i am very proud of is a program called -- program. it's a program where we went to the community, looked for various artists and asked them to submit their portfolios to us. (indiscernible) -- and then we met with the property owners and matched the artists to the property owners and created murals, over 38 all around the city. putting the artists and the city on the other side (indiscernible) same solution for many of the -- (indiscernible) in the last few months we're seeing now -- murals. spending a lot of time. funding the artists program at schools. teaching that graffiti is offensive. (indiscernible) trying to teach them that san francisco is a very creative city. we want to do artwork and we'll help you; we have lots of walls around the city. we can buy your art supplies and help you. (indiscernible) the other program that we have (indiscernible) in san francisco and many other parts of the country is what we call a graffiti watch program. we provide materials, training, allow people to take ownership of certain sections of the

it could not be the cia program or the bush administration's program.is no success if you are running an on-off switch every two years. i was willing to revamp the program and make it more narrow. it takes it off the table and able to preserve a program that is politically sustainable. that is pretty much what we thought we did. that is the dialogue we have with the incoming obama administration. i began my longest conversation with them at the agency, something along the lines of i think we have already done what you have done. it is appropriate in the new circumstances. it did not hold. all american detainees under any agent of the american government have to be treated with the army field manual. it was proved in september 2006. i would suggest the casual manual was written with the knowledge that there was option b. that this program was also available. now we are left with this option a. it should not concern you. before you get to interrogation, you have to capture and we do not capture. we have made it so legally difficult and so politically dang

so we get the calls to the program so we can keep the whistle blower program working well, and making sure we publicize the availability of the whistle blower program to all of the employees working for the city so that we can again make sure that we have people who are free from fear who feel they can use the program and they know it exist disps they're educated to what it means to use the whistle blower program. so what do we see in the future of our committee? well, one of the things we will have a report for you that will show the community engagement best practices, the results of that study, and also the design review best practices project, and we hope that will help to develop recommendations to the relevant stakeholders and of course that would include the supervisors when they're looking over the various projects they're considering doing with general obligation bonds and it can be used for things beyond general obligation bonds and continuing developing plans for set aside funds to help the geo bonds say on scope and budget and i encourage you to come to us if you have idea

>> on the go solar sf program, it's currently concludes in 2018. >> i know you said 2018 for this program. i was referring to the state program in terms of -- >> there isn't a deadline for the california solar incentive. >> i thought -- so it's still in existence? >> it's still in existence. the dollar amount available ratchets down over time, but i don't believe it's projected to go to zero. >> okay. but pretty close? >> yeah. >> all right. commissioner vietor? >> i would be interested, since we are in the thick of the clean power sf conversations, to hear more specifically how this go solar program could be tied to go solar customers -- i mean, to clean power sf customers. and also some thoughts around kind of the marketing and framing and if that could be something that would be attractive. there's money that's been allocated for that express purpose and [speaker not understood] about it? what does that mean, what are the implications for the go solar program as it currently exists? and how might it really help the clean power sf program and the customer base there? >> i'd be happy to

program. i know nothing about graffiti, i'm a communications director and i manage projects so how am i going to come up with what we are doing. we had someone on light duty from the corporate properties department going around in neighborhoods in our business revitalization zones trying to count and tell us how much graffiti was there. well, that was all very well and good but the graffiti we could find was only, the numbers were only significant to the capabilities of the person that was finding it. it wasn't giving us any real sense of whether we were increasing in graffiti vandalism, whether it was decreasing. we had been working with mgm management on our litter audits, we had been doing capital city clean up starting in 2007 started doing litter audits where we hired mgh management -- mark is the auditor who do our litter audits and now was doing our graffiti audits. basically, we looked at what we were doing on our litter audit and said there's got to be a more scientific, for lack of a

there are three tracks in the program. one is the local streets track and the ortearial track and the schools track. the mta is looking to rebalance the program and by and large used for the streets track and look at the other two tracks and not to eliminate it but shift more resources to the other two tracks where speeding and accidents are happening in the city. in october 2012 the mta did a presentation about the local streets track revision. this presentation is on the commercial and arterial and school track revision so all three pieces are coming together. we will come back next month with a revision to the program priorities and also hopefully an amendment to the fiscal 2013-2014 of this for prop k. we do a comprehensive update on this for traffic calming. you will see a much larger program that encompasses all the changes before you and the next action item is for the fiscal year 2013-2014 and to solidify the policy items for today. i believe that is it for me. >> thank you. >> good morning mr. chair and commission

the program that's been put forward for the local build out, this is a very aggressive program. how many -- what was the bond size? >> a billion dollars. >> a bill-dollar bond issue, thousands of small projects that have to be managed in a -- it's a very ambitious program. so that all of the difficulty we're having grasping just this first phase, if the first phase becomes dependent on the second phase, we have to get a lot smarter before we do that. because a lot of those questions frankly haven't been posed in a correct form yet let alone answered. >> that is to be continued. >> further comments? jason breed, i think you wanted to make a comment. mr. brookes? >>> mr. finestein and ms. ackerman. >>> jason freed laugh co-staff. a couple things i wanted to point out. i'd be remiss if i didn't remind you laugh co-would like to see this program move forward as quickly as possible this their efforts. * i wanted to get down to some of the issues that were brought up. on slide 4, the 2011 poll, that question was asked, it was eight aside from marin. we have a light green that everyone

and i know that solar, go solar program is an important program. so, we are having dialogues about, you know, what's the best way to address this issue. and, so, one of the things that we have done is identified about a million dollars and, so, we are going to, you know, reappropriate or move that money into the solar program. we are looking for additional money to add to the program. but i really want to have a dialogue about the go solar because of a lot of issues that it has. for example, you know, we're actually rebating people putting solar on private homes and they're pretty much pg&e customers. so, we have to address those issues and in a way that, you know, would be the best way to proceed. and, so, we're going to have those conversations out in the open so that, you know, we all understand what the impacts would be to hetchy and go solar and all the stakeholders. so, in a nutshell, we are looking at temporary funding, but we are looking to have a bigger conversation about the future of go solar. one of the things that we've talked about is

snacks program, the summer program is our biggest program and this is a program that provides lunches to children 18 and under when school is out because there's a big need, people don't have a place to get lunch during the summertime so we provide lunch at community based sites, to over 85 sites across the city and last year, we served around 200 thousand meals, over 200 thousand meals, we also collaborate with the school district to make sure that if they are able to take a place at a school site that we work closely with them so we're not duplicating service and that it's an effective program. i also present the food and fitness community, last year was my first year running the program and being on the food task force was a wonderful experience, not only did we start to think strategically how the program can include but collaborating with people like food runners and other agencies like the food bank to make sure we were avoiding waste as well and last year was my first year and i'm looking forward to continuing to run the program and i'm honored to be reappoint to the task force

he really does have to look program by program. we just have to make sure that we look at things and say, okay, we have both worked on the programs. >> if i could throw in one thing quickly. we did talk about these reports a few times. senator coburn and senator sessions talked about the $400 billion in annual wasting duplications. 209 of these stem programs. no one knows which one works. we are trying to improve something and get that achievement. get rid of the programs that don't work. >> i really thought we talked about this suggestion. without him i yield back my time. >> as promised, we will stand in recess until immediately following the second vote. [inaudible conversations] [inaudible conversations] >> meeting will come to order. i am going to yield to the first person that walks in the room. you understand the vantage of being the chair. [laughter] we were talking about the ig empowerment. gao, which is part of this branch of government, from this standpoint, recognizing that we have limitations in our branches and operat

these two program changes put a tremendous amount of threat to our programs losing members of our program through that transition and just all the systems that needed to be changed with our newmanaged care providers. * this $400,000 request really, really make a huge difference in cash flow for our seven nonprofit adult day health centers, keeps us afloat while we get through this period. so, i really thank you for your consideration of supporting us on this proposal. >> thank you very much. next speaker, please. >>> good afternoon, supervisors. i'm cathy davis. i'm the executive director of bayview hunters point multi-purpose senior services and we've been running adult day for 27 years. and this has been the toughest time for our families and caregivers to survive trying to get to managed care. we do understand over a period of time that it will get better, but the trauma of going through all of these budget cuts and trying to keep our agency alive and keep our centers open has been really difficult. and i appreciate the city and county of san francisco who get what we're doing, that we

the puc has a very robust program. so, we're going to -- we don't have to develop our program from scratch. we can take a lot of the practices that they've developed ways of automating or streamlining the process so that we'll be able to do so in the existing budget that we have. [laughter] >> but, i mean, it was important to raise the point as we did in the presentation that the cp in particular does require more resources. but through the efficiencies that ms. bose has achieved and will continue to, we have every confidence that we'll be able to manage [speaker not understood]. >> well done. >> thank you, director, for your support. >> okay. anybody else? any member of the public wish to address the board on this? >> nobody is rushing forward, mr. chairman. >> thank you very much. appreciate your support. >> thank you. >> thank you. >> ms. miller? >> aye tim 14, discussion and vote pursuant to administrative code section 67.10(d) as to whether to conduct a closed session. >> is there a motion? second? all in favor sa

when we put the program together the ssi t. we had phase one, two ask three and this is just a graphical representation of how those faces look. the first boxes that we will can starting with all of the project lined in united that have the green bars are ones that we have started on and we have begun on all of the projects that the commission has authorized in face one but as you can see here the schedule of these faces don't -- together eveningingly and so we will coccyx back for guidance and on direction and that is where you see the break between phase one and two and will he and i believe it was our last commission meeting where the commission moved forward with the capital improvement budget and capital plan and that is represent there on the bottom with the $3.4 billion over ten years and that is covers many of our most important project but we have a big workload and we have two large project the digesters of course, which we discussed just no one now and the bay side improvement program and i want to bring jeep up to t

the only thing that brings our program apart from pg&e's program is this discussion of local benefits to san francisco. where are the jobs? and right now the plan as we're looking at it doesn't have that language in there. it doesn't have that message so people are going to say what's the difference? i can get it for $3 from pg&e or $10 from the city. what's the benefit from the city? we need to make sure that that is in the messaging when we send out this poll. i mean, that's the only way that we're going to get people to pay more is if they realize it's bringing benefits to their community in this time because that's what we need, is to put our friends and neighbors to work and we need to put more money into our city's economy, which is going to put more money in our neighbor's pocket that goes to the corner store. that [speaker not understood] the economy. we need to make sure the messaging is the local build out and the benefits of that are in this poll or in the initial messaging of our program. but that begs the question if we're separating this discussion of phase 1 and the bui

the results of our virtual programming or our portal programs has been by and large as good or better than traditional treatments when we compare the two. in the virtual programs, we have been able to maintain people in treatment longer. we have been able to assist them to increase their recovery activities, so that they're engaging more in recovery activities. i hope the future brings for me and my recovery, you know, that i stay sober. i can live my life like a normal person without having, you know, the crutch or the extra weight, i guess, to carry around. the virtual world is excellent for that because anytime i need support or things of that nature, i just hop on, talk to my counselor, you know, and it helps with whatever problem i may have. i think that young people in my age group really enjoy the virtual world program. it's kind of like a game actually. i really enjoyed it. it was exciting for me when i started because, like, i change my avatar every single day just because it was something to do. i think it's just taking the next step into technology and treatment and integra

we also have programs where we can provide services through our walk-in program.eone doesn't necessarily have to make a call. they can come in and see and have a kit. we also have people off site with two police departments, one san jose, one los gatos. we can provide services. >> i would imagine it takes a lot of courage for some of these vehicles to come forward and say i'm a victim. >> yes, it does. first they can be at risk when they do come forward. we do what's called a safety plan to make sure that we walk with them to identify their needs in a safe way. we do know statistically that once someone speaks out and they separate from their batterer, that's when they are at most risk for danger and suicide and homicide. so we walk with them to do safety planning to make sure we consider all the lethality in their case. >> the d.a. in the county just came out with their death statistic. we had nine deaths. >> this year we had nine. in the years past it's gone up. it has gone lower this year. we don't want to be complacent. it's not saying domestic violence has sl

ground level to more publicly, public programs and retail programs. and it also by funding the first phase of construction, allowed it more time for the land sale market in the bay area to recover, improving our financing picture in total for phase one. so, in may, 2010, the board adopted the revised base line budget incorporating the funding of 1589 billion. the revised base line budget included cost estimates based on our 50 percent designed development documents from pelly clark pelly and estimates compared from their consultants as well as the web corp and the additional that we received through value engineering and it reflected the actual costs of constructing the temporary terminal and the bids that have been received on the demolition contract and some advancement of the design of both the bus ramps and utility relocation and the ac transit bus facility and they had elected to conduct their own facilitis which removed them from our program and our budget. >> we also the phase one budget reflected a new schedule for construction, with demolitio

, thank you, and then as you know, puc is in the beginning phases of its sewer system improvement program and are trying to integrate some of the innovative technology resource recovery and the waste water process, so some ideas around that, and then i think one thing we were really pleased about is that last year when the legislature did their initial bills around happen trade revenue allocation, there is a requirement that up to 25% of dollars be spent in disadvantaged communities, historically, san francisco, the definition of disadvantaged communities that the state uses is one that keeps income relative to the state and so we often don't count as a disadvantaged community though we have many neighborhood that are struggling, i think the definition they're using for disadvantaged communities in the context of cap and trade dollars, the bayview hunter's point community will be eligible for those funds so we are hope hating we can try to get access to some of those revenues for that, so we will continue to update you moving forward in the cap and trade, but you as lafco members may be i

and balancing the priorities of the program. the efficiency piece is what we explored last october and it was looking at what is in your current local residential traffic calming base program and looking for ways to be more efficient in the program. we do a lot of project it's we receive applications from residents but we do a broad community wide plan which results in lot of different measure frs we're -- for the neighborhood and we can looking at ways to save money and direct that into arteal yars and schools and we think that the kind of improvements we can make through traffic calming can benefit more people and the higher of -- volumes and of course the children. this shows that the funds -- as i mentioned it's funded entirely by prop k and on the top row you can see that currently in the average year of the 2.5 million dollars that we're spending on the of traffic calming program and it's going into the local track but we have a three track approach and the proposal that we're going to go through today is really balancing

manager program. our proposed fiscal 2013-2014 are essentially the same from previous years. the criteria is fairly straightforward and we have been successfully program every project applicant in recent years. before we consider any project for the fund each project must meet eligibility screening requirements established by the air district and those are project types, basic project type and cost effectiveness. cost effectiveness is measured by the air district and measures the cost of the emissions for each of the projects. if a project passes screening eligibility we use the local criteria that consists of five criteria of the first is project type and we rank those in descending order so the top ranking project is zero emissions non vehicle projects and bicycle improvements and transit improvements and traffic calming and other programs. then we have shuttle services that provide trips of transit. then we have alternative fews vehicles project and finally any other project eligible to the governi

an individual rate and whose running the exchange program? >> as i understand it, it's not completely finally, the state develops the program and i think they're going to have county by county having someone at the accounting level run and manager the program but to be determined. these are some of the details i hope to be getting at this meeting. and then the last note is just a reminder >> february 7th. >> okay february 7th i have that completely wrong in my calendar. febrile 7th so that is a >> thursday. >> week from this coming thursday. and it's the 60th anniversary for the county of merchants. so you can see the highlight of the mayors city he'd i have attacked the press release for you. you can take a look at other elements of the city and the successes that have trans paradise throughout the year. and that concludes my report >> public comment 1, 2, 3, 4. seeing none. i wanted to see the date >> i thought that was a bit awkward but i trusted my calendar. and their website isn't up so i couldn't go back and verify. we'll we will verify

in 2,007 there is a program

i have individual program surveys that i do with all our programs. for example, the professional cleaning program, all of those people are contacted individually to determine how they felt the program worked. i'm a data junkie so any opportunity i have, we're really looking at that. we've done focus groups with the edmonton police service, the arts community, with school groups, various community service agencies to see what their responses to our programs, to see what other avenues we could pursue. so we have a lot of measures in place to evaluate each program area. >> as far as the city factor, do you track the square footage of graffiti removed and is that even beneficial? >> we have an estimate. we've been basing how much graffiti we've seen on thest estimates from the graffiti audit. we've take every operational department and again efts estimate it. that way we track all the graffiti in our individual program areas. i could tell you exactly how much graffiti was cleaned in a wipe out, in a professional cleaning program and then take the number

every program is done in the city is done a little bit differently. that has to do with the type of work that is being done, the resources available to those programs, how they choose to manage the programs as far as the vertical and horizontal constructability. and i think you actually have the best and most efficiently run program in the city. and i want to commend puc on having a great perm. i think that's something the audit missed. if i could, there are three results of a [speaker not understood] of project managers. i'm going to read you the three top results. the question is job order contractors for maintenance repair and minor construction. 75% agreed and 11% disagreed. that's 6-1/2 to 1 ratio in agreement. understand the goals and objectives of the program. 83.6% of pms to 0 said 100% agreement with that question. [speaker not understood] the policy and procedures regarding admin and monitor of jock. 86.3, 6.8 disagreement, r 6-1/2 to 1 ratio. that's pm staff highly agreeing with the compatibility and use ability of joc. >> thank you very mu

we have worked on the ldcf program. they touted it as the "flagship coin programming." the primary goal was to create a stable environment of long-term political and social development. however, the program had not met its primary goals of extending the legitimacy of the afghan government nor had brought the government closer to the people. nor had a foster instability. my auditors found that each of the eight provinces with the most lgcd activity experienced dramatic increases in violence between 2006 and 2010. not be isolated, it did not achieve its intended goals. likewise, in july of last year, we issued a report on the afghan and restructure aip, which congress created. we found that five of the seven fiscal year 2011 projects were behind schedule and some of them may not achieve in the positive point affects for several years, if at all. we also are identified some instances were the projects resulted in the adverse affects, because they either created an expectation gap or lacked citizen support. assessments to support the coin strategy in the coming years, inclu
