the project provides a dramatic intervention that the candlestick area needs a proposed -- providing a total of $40 million park improvements and $10 million for ongoing operations and maintenance for the state park. we work in partnership with senator leno, the sierra club, and friends of candlestick park to make sure that these funds would be set aside for the state park and not be able to be rated for other purposes. we wholeheartedly agreed with the sierra club that the operation and maintenance funds are critical to keeping candlestick park open. on top of the public benefits, there are additional community and public benefits. rhonda will talk about the work force program after me. i want to hit some highlights for you. on an annual basis, the project will create thousands of construction opportunities working with the city, we can make sure they are targeted for southeast residents and that there are opportunities for residents of sentences go as a whole to participate in that. over 10,000 permanent jobs will be created. the project will also be competing $83 million, covering

by providing structured treatment outside of hospitals are jails, it provides the court ordered intensive treatment in the community providing consistent supervision for those with mental ls with some other community services are not working. the law was modeled after the one in new york, which has resulted over the last 10 years in a 77% fewer psychiatric hospitalization, dramatically reducing the most expensive form of psychiatric treatment. 74% reduction in homelessness, and 83% reduction in arrests. and 87% decline in incarceration. as proven in new york, the law helps a very ill individuals get well and stay in the communities they can later continue in treatment on their own. the law is preventative and disrupts the revolving door of repeated hospitalization, incarceration, and homelessness. our current system requires that a seriously disabled and mentally ill individual, people with severe issues like schizophrenia or bipolar disease first need to become well enough to accept treatment, and in most cases, they can't without treatment before receiving help, or they end up in jail a

to provide more information if i may, i would like to through the chair call mr. phil lesser, who is the chair of the district, to say a few words. thank you for the work you have been doing. >> thank you very much for sponsoring this reauthorization of the business improvement district. it is the heart of the mission miracle mile. it is between 21st and 22nd. if i may show a couple of pictures -- the supervisor completely articulated what we are doing. it does not really show it completely, but before we formed the business improvement district that is what the block would look like. this is what it looks like today. that is the removal of debris twice a day. but on top of that, when people say, "where is that block," i do not have to say the block on 2500 anymore. i can just say the block with all the chloral baskets. everyone knows it now. people who stand on the street now realize they have surveillance cameras. they no longer stand on that street. it is a safe, clean, green some stretch of mission street. we hope to one day come back and as you for authorizat

>> we have provided training. some of them have allowed us to go in to their schools to demonstrate the program. almost all the schools in the city are visited at least once per year. they talk about the online program and what it can do for the students and how they can use it. supervisor avalos: every school has a library as well, hookups for computer technology. it seems like the librarians and the schools could find a good place for those as well? >> yes. supervisor avalos: great. supervisor chu: are there any members of the public that wish to speak on item number one? >> good morning. my name is douglas shepard and i have lived in san francisco for 15 years. i would like to speak in support of this. i think it is something that is noteworthy and i would like to make a suggestion that four students who are kind of close to dropping out of school, i think that this sort of program should be offered in writing to the parents of students and that the school should get a written reply as to whether that student i

program is it provides much more of the collaboration. what happens when people do something and end up in the jail system, they don't have a lot of choices. a lot of those choices are taken away from them. if you treat them in an a.o.t. setting before incarceration, they have the opportunity to sit down with their providers, with their therapists to talk about what types of needs they have. if they're on medication, that doesn't make them feel good, they can get the medication changed. they have more -- you know, it is a more independent place for them to be. once they go into the jails, a lot of those choices are taken away from them and that's one of the reasons the a.o.t. programs are so beneficial, because the patient does have more control over the path that they choose to take and getting themselves better. president chiu: any further discussion, colleagues? so we have a motion to continue offered by supervisor ross mirkarimi and secretaried by supervisor john avalos. do you want to do that without objection? >> may i ask a questio

provide fund to help them. i was surprised about involved with michael's group another outstanding program. for us to engage in disaster recovery from the standpoint things will be better when we get there. we provide what's called public safety training. that's if you have a wire down or a gas leak what do you do as a citizen? as a neighbor? as a community. we provide that training from the standpoint of safety. that's the bottom line of what we are trying to do is to create a safe environment. the folks that are available to provide the training across the city here but we provide it to emergency responders, local law enforcement, fire services. we provide it to community groups themselves. if it's a community group a safe group and/or nert group we will provide that training for individuals. the other as an organization for us to take care of business during an emergency. for us to take care of your needs to get power on, we have to have aggressive emergency response planning for our employees. we have 20,00

we want to come back and provide an overview. the resources we were given to not allow us to staff the clubhouses with some exceptions. we are, as you have just participated in, looking for community partners. but that as a context, i will turn it over to nicole who is going to take you through the clubhouse overview, and it should be relatively brief period -- brief. >> i will set the context for the conversation that will follow about clubhouses. this is just a reminder for a lot of you. the city faced a general fund shortfall at the beginning of the budget process. in order to help close that budget gap, the mayor's office ultimately required the department to reduce our general fund budget by $11.4 million. after many meetings with the public and with staff, we were successful in proposing $8 million in revenue generation to solve 2/3 of this problem, something we're very proud of having done. $3.4 million of our solution had to come through expenditure reduction. $2.5 million of that reductions resulted from the restructure

providers providing the balance in that final 8%. we are forecasting the electric load by 2030 to be approximately 8,000 giga watt hours. now through the effort we engaged through our contractor rocky mountain institute, we asked them to develop the technical potential of resources here in san francisco as well as purchased resource from outside of san francisco. we asked them to determine not just the technical but -- capability but what's feasible for us. so for example you can say that you could carpet every roof in san francisco with solar, but in reality there are constraints to that. we asked them to look at that. and we asked the lowest cost resource option recognizing what was technically feasible to provide san francisco's energy needs and then to purchase the remaining energy needs either ourselves, if we're the power provider or through systemized purchases that pg & e would engage in. and to develop those portfolio results for us. they went forward and looked at those resource portfolio scenarios recognizing that the cost

we need to provide connections to public transportation. we need to think about future public access along pier 29 and how the site might connect to that, the possibility of a continuation of the history walk through the piers that occur here. there is a notion that because of the vast mass of the space, which is 2.5 acres, 2 acres being the primary triangular space, that we need to activate that would public uses. some of those might be commercial. there is a great opportunity in proximity to the beltway building, which we propose to leave in its current location, to create an urban piazza that could house commercial uses that are not in the shed its. the special area planned talks a lot about usage for the site. these orange dots represent what we call activators, the idea that in order to activate this we need things going on for these three areas. the cruise terminal and its uses are one of them. last but not least, we need to think about bringing some kind of transparent buffer between the green space and gta, where we will have more a

do you see an argument for providing money, providing a program like this to boost the economy? caller: the government is the reason that we are in this problem. the government on monday the way to get the usout ous out of depn here. host: what about the comparison there? some say that for every dollar, you get $1.41 in the economy. is there an incentive to creating these programs? guest: absolutely. this money is quickly spend because people need them so badly. there are other studies showing most stimulative programs involve food stamps because families are so desperate for the food, they spend that money quickly. these programs are very stimulative to the economy and it is hard to argue that all public programs are illegitimate. the constitution provides for congress to make laws for the welfare of the country. these programs are among their many strengths, our countercyclical, in the sense that they keep the economy afloat when the private sector fails, when we have these cyclical depressions. it is government support that helpedd+ to stabilize the econo. host: brooklyn. ind

please provide a speaker card if you wish to speak. if you are submitting documents, please provide documents for -- copies for the committee. supervisor campos: thank you. we're going to start with item no. 2. >> item #2, charter amendment (first draft) to amend the charter of the cityfrancisco by amending section 16.23-10, to extend thepublic education enrichment fund 2016; amending sections 16.123-2 and 16.123-8, to make conforming changes; 16.123-3, to use any surplus returned from the library preservation fund baseline to disbursements under the pubic education enrichment library programs; amending section 16.123-5, to allow the to pay college tuition and fees for students attending city amending section 16.123-6, to authorize the youth plans submitted by the school five commission, amending section 16.123-8, to require theday reserve policy for the san francisco unified school district covering local revenues suspend disbursements from the fund to the school district section 16.123-7 as obsolete. supervisor campos: this item was

we have endeavored to provide those programs in a variety of ways. for a few years we ported that function to a work order to the city college program for habitat restoration. for a while we had a report staff, which proved not to be an ideal solution for providing services. since 2001, we have had a contract with a nonprofit organization to provide environmental education services at the park. the current contract is with a nonprofit organization called literacy for environmental justice or leg. it expires at the end of september 2010. during the past four years, leg has brought thousands of students, teachers, members of the neighborhood, people from all over the state to study, volunteer, learn, and enjoy heron's head park, all of which have served the participants and the park very well. in my written staff report to you all, i described the many examples of the full range of environmental education activities that have been provided under the contract for the past half four years. i want to point out it really has served a very broad range of pe

that is not provided to the indigent defense providers. federal grants are almost all directed toward prosecution and law enforcement. so the problem to have vast resources that i'm facing right now is that you have grant funding the police department, the sheriff's deft, the district attorney's office. there is a share that -- etc., etc. that share, which for them is a portion of their funding is almost my entire funding so when you say you're going to cut 13% off everybody equally. well, 13% for us is more than 13% of their entire budget than for the other agencies. now the problem is that's the ripple effect we just had here. now they still have their investigators because they have other agencies that provide the investigation. we don't. our investigators are the ones that have to be trimmed off because we can't pay for them. our attorneys, again, they are paid for by the county. we have to cut back our attorneys. meanwhile, the prosecution, yes, they may have to cut back the attorneys. there are a lot of attorneys still being funded b

certainly provide an opportunity. we will release some of these parcels, particularly 337, for future development that is needed. the replacement parking in the ferry building area which is needed to expand the ferry terminal, and we worked very hard to go and get that public funding for this project, so there is a lot at stake here. we complement the efforts of the planning department in this study in balancing the need for public spaces, recreational uses, the community benefits, and most importantly, the ports need to be profitable so that it can continue to subsidize maritime operations. like the ferry services, ferry terminals that it does subsidize along the waterfront, so we thank you for the opportunity to have been part of this process, and we think there is really no need for further studies or changes. i know marina labored very hard for this year's of the commission, that advisory board, and she feels very strongly that it is complete. so thank you very much. >> good afternoon or good evening, commissioner

we provide a spanish and mandarin language programs. we have run a site adjacent to the playground since 2003. for seven years, we have to a fully shared the clubhouse with the community. we supported the director with materials and supplies. we use that part, we felt responsible. our students are from the community. nearly 600 families, many with multiple children, have participated in our program since 2007. 90% are from laurel hill and the immediate adjacent as of codes. -- zip codes. many of the children were raised in families where english is a second language. other than me, our staff is made up of families that have arrived in the country in the last generation. they support one another. we support them and for further education. i am proud that so many of our past teachers have supported this program. one of the teachers vast their citizenship test today. >> thank you. idaho >> good afternoon. i am a san francisco resident and i am a share currently of the family studies program at of the city college. i don't want to be split

they can be child care providers so our clients can go out and work. >> we found more and more women of child bearing age come down with cancer and they have kids and the kids were having a horrible time and parents were having a horrible time. how do parents tell their kids they may not be here? what we do is provide a place and the material and support and then they figure out their own truth, what it means to them. i see the behavior change in front of my eyes. maybe they have never been able to go out of boundaries, their lives have been so rigid to sort of expressing that makes tremendous changes. because we did what we did, it is now sort of a nationwide model. >> i think you would be surprised if you come to these clinics. many of them i think would be your neighbors if you knew that. often times we just don't discuss that. we treat husband and wife and they bring in their kids or we treat the grandparents and then the next generation. there are people who come in who need treatment for their heart disease or for their diabetes or their high blood pressure or their cholesterol

the structural designs are provided to address the impacts -- i'm sorry, no structural designs are provided to address the impact of the amount of excavation that will have to take place to remove crawlspace so well and create a new footing. i calculate at least 100 cubic yards of soil will be excavated to achieve the intended plan, but safety inspections cannot be conducted with the appropriate plant -- without the appropriate plan to govern this work. the plans show a. foundation to be capped where there is no brick. where there is concrete foundation are retaining walls, the plans are silent on what will be done. it is not clear if the existing brick chimney will stay or go. the plans referenced an intention to relocate an existing second-floor bathroom, but no such bathroom shown as existing. i believe in correct plans contributed to misleading the city review process of this project. at second, the planning staff has performed an adequate review of this historic resources and did not comply with residential design guidelines required for all exterior alteration projects to residential

in addition, this rule provides for an amendment which will provide money for haiti. it provides for other priorities of our country. some will perhaps disagree with those priorities and others will agree with them, but we will consider them on this floor. this rule provides for three options, as mr. mcgovern, i think, will explain further so i will not go deeply in it. but three options. there are some that will say we ought not to fund the effort in afghanistan at all. they will have that option. there will then be an option that says, no, we need to extraindicating ourself with drawning down our forces from afghanistan. and mr. mcgovern and mr. obey have another alternative which will provide for the administration providing us with information, both in a national intelligence estimate and a plan for withdrawal. that gives almost everyone in this house the opportunity to express their view as to what ought to be done. i urge my colleagues at this hour on this perhaps, perhaps last day of our session before the july 4 break to approve this rule which i believe gives

it is providing inconsistency. commissioner hwang: i am thinking back to the prior hearing, where we had a lot more testimony and argument on retaliation and differential treatment. that stays with me when i think about the penalty. i am hearing more now from miss hayashi. it helps eliminate some issues. i think i would be more in favor of a six month medallion suspension and a one-year color scheme suspension. there is something a little bit lighter, in light of past practice. and we have not seen, as has been stated throughout, sufficient evidence from mta of where mta is on these policies. >>-- president peterson:. vice president goh: i am going the other direction -- commissioner hwang: i am going the other direction. with president peterson, i so move. commissioner fung: this is overruling the department? president peterson: yes. four votes would be needed to carry this motion. >> the motion is from the vice- president to uphold the revocation of the color scheme and to suspend the medallion for one year. inst

we have done something else i'm happy with ready fow to provide sba products. it is important that we get back this recovery act funding but that's only one of the steps. even if we get that back, we have more gaps to fill. that's why we have the president's small business jobs bill right now before congress. in that jobs bill, we have many tools small businesses node right now. i'll give you a couple examples. how many heard from a small business, i need working cap tall. we have a product for that. sba express loans. we have asked congress to increase those loans to $1 million. right now, they are capped at $ 50,000. >> how about commercial real estate. we have a lot of small businesses that have owner-occupied buildings. that is the dentist that owns the building. we want to use the 504 program in order to refinance existing loans on owner occupied real estate. right now, 504 can only be used for expansions. a lot of these owner occupied took five-year bullet mortgages in 2005, 2006. it's been five years. we are going to the people who have never missed a pa

i sent numerous letters to each neighbor abutting the site providing updates which provided my phone number and e-mail address to make sure if there was information they wanted i could address them personally, and once i took all the public comments together and finalized the new plans, i went door to door to all the abutting homes i have to say, for the vast majority the comments were very positive. it removes a nuisance from the site. we have been victims of illegal dm dumping. it was stated by another neighbor in may, the planning commission, that he's observed many criminal activity over the course of 30 years. so the homes would add more to the site. i also have endorsements -- when i went door-to-door i got signatures from abutting sites, i'm not sure where these petitions came from, where they are located, but my endorsements are from abutting home owners, and that was presented to the planning commission as well in may.
