they provide health care. they identify nearly one million -- they provide nearly one million pap tests, identify about 93,000 women at risk for serving call cancer and 830,000 breast cancer and four million tests for sexually transmitted disease and provide health education for 1.2 million people. how are any of these activities objectionable? are you against women getting breast exams? do you object to women and girls getting tested for h.i.v. and controlling their own bodies and determining if and when they want to get pregnant. government funding does not make the whole sum of family planning in planned parenthood's finances but government funding provides help to help local centers to women to avoid cancer, to protect their health and lead healthy lives. let's stop this attack on a trusted health provider and stop this war on women. that's not what the american people want. they want jobs. they want a chance to work hard and take care of their families. they don't want to argue with their insurance provid

it allows only families to provide it to a child care provider. or the impact is twofold. not only does it to eliminate the safety concerns without adding a single dollar to the budget, it makes it very nearly applicable -- narrowly applicable. this is appropriate because these kind of employers are eligible for certain business other exemptions. appropriately, households are not. the people that are committing to a traditional business -- commuting to a traditional business. [chime] >> [reading names] >> thank you for the proposing. is this better? thank you for proposing a fair and reasonable amendment. i wanted to address the privilege issue that the speaker suggested. it is not just people with the german luxury cars that need a place for the nannies to park. a lot of the mother's side of don't have any need for a special permit. four of them drop off their kids that day care. one of them as able to provide a parking spy. -- spot. within my small group, this is not an issue that directly affects us, but we can see how it does. not everyone has a parking spot to give. i

the capital investment arms provide an economic stimulus rate for providing customers into the regional mysterious and funding our public goods benefit programs and the stabilization reserves. pg&e's rates have 11.3% rate of return included in their rates so that is where we can provide some cost advantage because we're not looking for profit. specifically, what the rates look like on the right side for reflecting the 10% as proposed pg&e rates reflect the difference between the winter and summer variants and the customer charge which shows the raids on a daily basis which is between $13.20 dollars a month. -- $13 and at $20 a month. from a cost of service perspective, this is with the average cost of 9 cents a gallon over five years. on top of that, we are glaring at the additional contributions. we are projecting over the next five years assuming the bill that moves forward that we will be able to pull together about 1.3 million and the rate stabilization fund at about $3.8 million in the green capital fund. >> in what amount of time? >> over five years. >> thank you. >> we are averag

we are a full-service provider. the public power model we have in those instances is dramatically different and much more involved -- evolved than affecting one purchase of power generation line. if we had a choice, obviously, the larger role. now part of what i was thinking was part of the power scheduling is something that is common to both activities. the fact is, we look at taking on all of that, there is an increasing amount we may get into, so that is something that as we negotiate a contract, we probably want to be thinking about how long that contract should last and how we use them to get us smarter so we can take it on ourselves. van at a key feature of the model we will be making here is the ability to substitute resources in to serve the cca load as we negotiate them, as we commit to them. whether we are in an ownership role or a power purchasing role for that resource, so we will be able to back down what our third-party provider procures in order to make room for what we are separately procuring, and t

chairman ashe will provide that summary. i will turn it over to mr. frank perdue from montague. >> good afternoon. i will cover a few of the affected -- president vietor: if you would not mind introducing yourself. >> frank perdue from montague and associates. i will talk about the objectives of the study and what we set out to do in the results of the study. i also want to provide a few points that were already mentioned by mr. rydstrom about the quality of the utility and its costs compared with other utilities. with regard to objectives, the first step really is to establish the total costs of the power enterprise. we developed a model to address that. secondly, it is to allocate those costs to customer groups and categories. part of that process is using a revenue requirement model, what we call an enterprise model. we look at the whole power enterprise, its production cost, its financial cost, and understand the drivers of those costs. we feel in our work it is important to stress the cost and revenues. we work with power enterprise to do that. w

and the attorney that provides a policy analysis is also engaged in providing a sustainability when and addressing your report. it concludes my report with the police department and other city departments. this history of this commission and not approving the budget of the department. this commissioned in protest to a possible budget cuts they would have to take chose not to endorse the budget. how about i was obligated to submit it. that concludes my remarks. >> director hicks, your budget in total is a line-item. >> that is correct. >> can you help us understand a little bit more how your total number comes about in terms of being part of the total department's budget? how that determines if? >> this is the budget that was adopted. it was some years back with some fluctuations dependent on whether additional investigators were added. there is no guaranteed percentage of the police department's budget. there is a floor below which investigators cannot fall. that is one investigator for every 150 police officers. that would only be a minimum staffing levels of 15 investigators. also in

it provides assistance to our nation's poorest families. families that are trying to meet the most basic of human needs. we have the latest census data that says 43.7 million people are living in poverty in the united states. the number is growing. a striking point is that many in this category are hard-working americans who had in fact been making it. some may refer to them now as the new poor. in this great recession, life has changed very quickly for so many american families who first lose their job and then they lose their home. the majority of americans served by this program can be described as extremely poor with incomes below 75% of the federal poverty threshold. that's $9,735 for a family of three. that's the average. $9,735. is that what we make in this institution here, $9,735? mr. chairman, we'd be hard-pressed to find a corner of our nation that doesn't feel the impact of these severe cuts. the service area of community action agencies cover 96% of the nation's counties. i just might with this body not so long voted for a tax

they say it provides a needed to separation. i like to point out this is not a requirement, it is merely a finding. because of the slow, the new building will have minimal impact. this is something that we prepared this morning in an effort to try to illustrate the relationship of the buildings. this is the small sunroom. i believe this is the unit showing the small that. you can see that at the very most, this is level, and how it can have any impact is beyond me. especially if it is north of the unit. while there was a finding referencing this, there is no requirement for the debt. and the statement made about the separation continues to be true because going back to the first diagram, the tiny portion is the area between the buildings. it will provide separation between the buildings. they have presented no information that the substantial effect violates the variants. and determined that this was consistent with the variants. we request that the commission cannot hold this over for a full hearing and approve the project. [ch

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

we provided a training workshop. for example, in 2008, dph assembled a team of experts in health management and provided training to hotel managers, shelter directors, aps, ihss, dbi, and tenants. the housing chief invited us to provide training to all the housing inspectors. in 2006, as a result of a call from the board of supervisors, we developed directors rules or regulations, and this was instituted after hour public hearing. it is very comprehensive, and i want to say that it is the first in the united states and san francisco. you will be proud to know that san francisco is the first to develop specific rules and regulations just to address bedbugs. usually, we have lost that regulate just control problems, but not particularly bedbugs. the state of california adopted the san francisco will some regulations, and we received a lot of calls to our united states about what we are doing today. new york, they are putting something together. missouri is putting something together. hawaii have had theirs for quite a

a program called count me in is providing a lot of these needed resources. the children's book illustrator here in the bay area is successful. she won a grant by the make mine a million business program. welcome to the show. >> thank you very much. >> tell us first of all about your business. you're a children's book illustrator. >> yes. that's my background. i did 16 children's books so far, i own a company and we do children's accessories so we do everything from mobiles to posters and prints on wall to decorate children's rooms. we sell our books in 500 stores in the country so i have these, licensing and products and selling. >> when you illustrate do you have to put your mind in a child's mind and think the way they think or not necessarily? >> sometimes. sometimes. depending on the age group and i do some writing and administration depending on the books, yeah, i try to think. i do have a daughter that helps. >> i can relate to that. now, talk about the make mine a million program. it's like a challenge grant to make sure that your business, you being

i think there are ways to get around that to provide a steady flow of revenue to you, to provide predictable costs to our agencies, and to still have water use reflect what purchases so there is an incentive to conserve so that people can do cost effectiveness analyses. we will pursue that with your staff. i hope something good will come out of it. i do not know that this is done anywhere else. this would be another groundbreaking event for san francisco. finally, on the matter of what customers that for the value, you had some discussion of the last time. as i recall, it's sort of focused on getting reliability out of wsip. it does not do a lot for water supply. it is mostly reliability so we do not have 60 days without water. that is a good point. but there are other beneficiaries of the work that you do and we do. if you look at not just the value added but the true benefits, everybody benefits from greater reliability of the system by that i mean -- reliability of the system. by that i mean residents, people with jobs. everybody benefits, current and future. you look at water conservatio

that includes the briefing i provide. i am here to be able to respond to any questions the commission may have. commissioner walker: thank you for explaining this process. do you deal with bike lanes in the same fashion? there was recently of a project on seventh street, and it close the sidewalk and a bike lane and put both of them -- i think you have to go to the other side of the streets for a pedestrian, and a bike lane was not there. do you have a process for that? there are a lot of bike lanes in the city. >> typically, the department to issue an occupancy permit for contractors to occupy the sidewalk and the parking lane, but we will not typically allow them to operate. in order for a contractor to take service, they would have to coordinate which is the mta -- with the mta board to another action. a good example would be the current building located at the corner with golden gate, where they need to take the bike lane, of a coordinated to find an alternative to location on an adjustment that can be made on these c

proper resourcing with able to provide -- be able to provide adequate security? i think that is one of the important questions, yes, senator. >> yeah. we could do it better. we could provide -- we could do the belt and suspenders approach. i understand the level of continuing to provide even more, and i would support and appreciate the fact that you pointed out that you feel the military can do it better. you should feel that way, and we should all feel that way. it's not about better, it's about adequate and protecting our presence in iraq as well. now, i think the -- let's get it on the table. mr. ambassador, you said they haven't asked for any continuing presence at the present time. and this is a tough question because you don't have a crystal ball. do you expect that they will ask for maybe some continuing military presence after the expiration date? >> it's a possibility, do you expect it? >> again, my crystal ball doesn't reach that far, senator. i expect them to want to talk more with us about their security needs, how these security needs can be met. thi

there's probably one service provider. how do we coordinate so your officers don't have to go to the agencies? that's been the issues because how do i connect with the probation prove that's servicing the youth? i think it's figuring out how to set up the time where they don't have to try to hit 350 service providers to accommodate that. >> i think i may have mislead everybody. >> there may not be 350 individuals. there maybe some of the kids that were there on 2 occasions. the engagements are not only based on what service are available or interesting on the part of the youth, it has to be also consistent with what vision of case plan is. that's really the challenging part about this. this is something we're working on very closely to make sure there's a follow up. it's still better than the folks being directed or encouraged to connect with an agency and there maybe some that falls off the chart. this is something very real and we're pledged to make this continue >> when will you have a status on it this is working >> wh

we have provided some options here. preparing cost estimates based on the assumptions about the interest and use in the program. details are provided in the report on the assumption that we used to come up with cost. the first option was to go back to one of the programs i mentioned in the beginning where whole modification services were provided at a low cost to seniors. cut back since 2008 and 2009, the department of health providing direct services. >> [inaudible] >> i think it was the department of public health. i would have to check on that. recognized as reinstating the level of funding from 2008 and 2009. estimated annual cost, providing more out reach and liking to provide more services for home modifications. about $435 for modification. highly effective in terms of making small changes in getting back to the guard rail idea. the second one here, it is a rebate program accessibility modifications, expanding on the idea of low-cost modifications for the homeowner at for landlords. so that there could be repairs

chairman, it is the intent of the committee to provide that flexibility. in fact, it is my hope that the department exercises this flexibility to finish the activities and get something usable for the $3 billion investment that we have already made. here's the unique opportunity for a win-win situation. the marines want to cancel a program and they would normally pay $145 million termination fee. here's an opportunity and we believe the contractors agreeable to forgo the paying of the $145 million to them but use that money to continue to -- the program so we at least get something for the $3 billion that we have already appropriated. i might expand on the colloquy, one of the problems that we have in our defense budgeting is that we too often start a program, spend a lot of money on it, and then decide to terminate it. and we get little or nothing for what we already did. i believe it is important for the department to have this flexibility. as they negotiate the remaining activities for the fiscal year. it is my hope that the department be able to reach

we are not only required to provide the access, we are required to provide it in compliance with both federal requirements and the federal- state title 24 requirements. we do a great job, which is what this is part of a unique and hard to understand circumstance. we do not have other circumstances where we built a new building or did a renovation and some of the access has been delayed. we've always incorporated it. because of the unique nature of an historic buildings such as city hall, which is not only locally historic, but state and nationally recognized, there were specific challenges to how we were going to provide the access, and that creates the the lead. we should not be thinking of this as a separate project. we need to be thinking of it as part and parcel of the city hall renovation. and we do not have the option of saying we are not going to do it. i do not know how else you could explain this, except to saiy we are very sensitive to the needs of the disability community in other parts of the city, and those means need to be looked at in the context of the entire city budg

we found that there were programs in place to provide home modification services provided by the city. however, there are a few of them and they serve only a small number of communities targeted to seniors by providing services. the programs listed here, rebuilding together san francisco, community and home injury prevention projects for seniors with whole modification programs, funded through city funds. and then there is a community living fund. providing low-interest loans and assessments. the purpose of the last one is not necessarily for seniors. it is to assist people in staying out of institutions. there were then two programs. the rehabilitation fund was funded through the department of building inspection period and the community housing rehabilitation fund. it had temporary state grant funding that dissipated. those programs are no longer in place. the numbers are small. probably between 300 seniors in one year, small compared to the total population. in home supported services you are probably also familiar with. it is a state mandated program where the funding comes from s

any health care provider or institution to refuse to provide an abortion to a woman who would die if she doesn't get the abortion. it would refuse to -- it would be allowed to refuse to provide an abortion in the emergency room even if the medical judgment is that without that abortion, she would die. they would let that woman die right there in the emergency room and the government would be powerless to do anything or penalize it or prevent it. under the provisions of the bill insist that the hospital not let the woman die, section 311 of the bill would allow the hospital to sue the government and in the case of a state or locality strip that community of all federal funding until the jurisdiction relented and allowed women to die if they needed an abortion to prevent the death. that's the new definition it seems of pro-life. so, mr. chairman, let's start off on the right foot. the no taxpayer funding of abortion act is not really about taxpayer funding. it's about government interfering with private health care decisions. it is not about protecting the innocent. it is about creatin

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

it provides a plan towards a solution. although it is a piece of paper that does not reflect really the hundreds of hours in committee meetings that have gone into this process. i remember mirkarimi when remember -- i remember when supervisor mirkarimi first proposed the reentry council. five years ago. it is hard to believe that this much time has passed. i did not anticipate at the time that it would take this long to pull two councils. when they came together, the division was to have -- the mission was to have one council that would become not only the repository for all of the best practices and good information that relates to the reentry work that we are doing as a city, but would also be a place where outcomes could be measured, actions could be implemented, and partnerships could be created that would ultimately result in a better coordinated delivery system for people who were coming out of the system. i can say that we have achieved part of that goal and that vision, but the most important part is yet to come. w

well i mean actually we're all trying to provide want to afghan rebels nobody should be providing weapons to afghan rebels as far as we're concerned and actually we're working quite hard with the russian federation to provide equipment particularly helicopters now to the afghan army so this is another area where in fact we're doing much more together than we did we does nato want to see more russian involvement in afghanistan maybe even selling something because now that what we would like to see is and we are seeing is more russian cooperation with us in supporting afghanistan's stability we're stepping up our training of counter drug narcotics officials there's a center just outside of moscow where russia does also now outside of st petersburg and one in turkey we've trained about one thousand three hundred counter-narcotics officials already as i mentioned we're going to help provide helicopters but in particular training and spare parts and russia provides transit for us so that we can bring our equipment in and out of afghanistan we're very grateful for the will nato do you think nat

it's one piece of the puzzle but provide as lot of opportunity. water efficiency provides most of the savings on the consumer side. the numbers we heard about 18 percent, almost all of that is not water agency and waist water treatment but keeping the water in the homes using the washing machines and so on. saving that can save humans money which then energy games people into, well, maybe we should listen to the engineers and people trying create the model. >> thank you. >> yes? yes? >> i want to tie into the first speaker and segway the opportunity for public, private partnerships and collaboration. i have an exand pl in california that's local to the san francisco, puc, the california commission has listed grant under their renewable fuels program and they are reported to supply several millions of dollars to demonstrate the viability of product that can be commercialized. all the good establishments in urban areas to convert to bio diesel fuel. these collaborative opportunities are available and have been used for many years now throughout the

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

it provides millions in property taxes every year. we are just looking for a little bit of reinvestment in our neighborhood for the quality of life. thank you. supervisor mar: think you, mr. whitaker. -- thank you. >> dan murray -- murphy, stakeholder in the eastern neighborhoods. i was appointed to be on the eastern neighborhood infrastructure finance work group, which was actually the group that recommended this half -- this ifd tool for transitioning areas in san francisco, so i have been very involved in the background. recently, i was voted by the members to represent the neighborhood cac on this committee, which is piloting this incredibly important financing tool in the rincon hill area. i think the policies that staff has developed in consultation with people like me representing the public are right on point. i think it is a great program. i would be remiss if i did not say in the context of being on the eastern neighborhood cac, i look forward in the not too distant future of working with this type of tool in the eastern nei

we are looking at what we can do and what we can provide for a green product as well as provide incentives for economic redevelopment. we are looking at the ability to be able to propose this cheaper rate back and provide a clean product. >> in terms of privatization, i also agree with respect to conservation issues and where we can't find the necessary funds to do that. we can help the ratepayer achieve a more competitive rate. is there a formula you have devised to determine that? >> this is on slide 16 or 17. we did look at that because we took your comments for prioritizing and providing a green sustainable product and also a stable rate. that is what we took. we turned this into a staff proposal. this is a great side -- segue. e*trade player class will paying for the green products they're getting and it might be a nice thing to segue to mr. perle. >> thank you very much. good afternoon. once the independent rate study is completed, what staff does this takes the information and compares it to information, industry trends, that kind of thing. this develops a rate proposal for this com

first, i want to thank you for providing us for -- with this space today. we really want you to pass this resolution to provide more fussed passes -- more fast passes. it reminded me of how difficult it is for you to not only get to school, but it was mentioned about the fear that they have and experiences. a lot of them that have friends that have been ticketed, not once, but many times, and they have to avoid muni cops to get to school. "hopefully next time they will not catch me." it is really sad. having to do with these officers just trying to get to school. this is part of the reason we are fighting this campaign. we're working on a campaign to really focus on this and the increased enforcement that was happening on the public transit system, so a lot of our youth, as i mentioned, were not able to come today. they are just trying to get to school, but it is also an issue of criminalizing our youth, and i was told about different treatment on different bus lines. where do the buses go? they go to the fillmore and the intermission. some people get ticke
