>> yes, with the s.f. p.u.c., miss miller is quite right, there's a $500,000 not to exceed contract the p.u.c. has with power, with $390,000 remaining on it. as miss miller notes, every dollar that we can husband will be available for outreach and marketing and potential appropriations that might be needed. so there is a very strong interest in keeping consultant costs down to what actually lines up with what we need. on that point, one of the bits of direction we also heard an item similar to this, an item that was related to the extension of the contract, it's now been extended for another 12 months that was approved by my commission last week, last tuesday. it had a clear direction to only be hiring consultants for projects that directly relate to the scope of the program that we are envisioning. there are parts of the proposed scope better currently in discussion with local power and the advocates that do not line up with the existing plan for the program. supervisor campos: supervisor mirkarimi? super

we have for several months gone back with s.f. p.u.c. staff and s.f. p.u.c. commissioners about the specific concerns. and i think that we've reached a point in that process where since the term sheet is just sitting at the s.f. p.u.c., it's become an insillar process and it's gone forward about as well as it can go. so i would agree that it's time now that ab-117 makes the board of supervisors the implementing body for this policy. it's time now for the term sheet to move from the s.f. p.u.c. and get to the board of supervisors, where we as advocates feel like we can in a new forum that's working actually to make this policy happen immediately, where we can work with the board of supervisors on the concerns that we have and actually flushing out this term sheet so it actually makes sense for everybody. especially to the extent as we said before, we think a lot of the concerns raised by s.f. p.u.c. commissioners and that are raised by us will be addressed by moving forward the scope of work that's in your next item, expeditiously so we can develop a very soli

that is the hope s.f. capital campaign group headed by james, the vice president of programs for the s.f. foundation. pam. thank you for being here. she is there. rich gross, from the enterprise community, he is here. dr. hernandez, thank you for your many contributions. you are here along with david freedman, board chair. they are raising another $25 million to contribute to the five other sites we are trying to rebuild. private dollars from people and companies who join in the delivery of hope for this city. they know that the companies who are willing to contribute their investment and their dollars to a city and to a community can only and will only do that if the residents here have that same degree of hope. so they feel the hope, and they are going to help deliver that $25 million. to our community partners. gosh, you know the story of collaboration has to do a lot with our community partners because they deliver every day on projects. our friends in labor, our friends in the center for youth wellnes

to try to make sure that meeting happens, a special meeting by the s.f. p.u.c. commission some time in august. and if we can, you know, your schedules, you take a break in august so i'm not -- but it could be possible that we could meet in august. even with them if we got a date. certain we would have a joint meeting then and we could push that alternative as well. >> so mr. campbell through the chair can we get a joint meeting in august? >> as i mentioned in my remarks, i know by the tuesday meeting that my commissioners did express an interest in that. so i can take back the discussion as well. >> is he still the chair of the commission? >> yes, sir. >> if i may wanted to add a point here, which is we have made it very clear to the p.u.c., p.u.c. staff of the importance of having something done before the board of supervisors takes its recess. that's the reason we tried to have a joint meeting in july and where it became very clear scheduling would not allow for a joint meeting, then would push very hard to make sure there was a p.u.c. meeting prior to a lafco

why s.f. cat? and why carnaval?estion, at least some people are asking, is why a half-white, half-lebanese guy from ohio heading up this organization? and i'll tell you, it was pretty easy, it just took 20 years of participation and commitment to the mission district and to the carnaval community. i've been involved, my first -- i took part in 1991 and i performed as a dancer, a d.j., a drummer. i became king and i also performed with over a dozen groups including aqra rela who are going to perform today. i guess could you say i'm culturally curious. and fortunately for me san francisco is, in my opinion, and i've traveled quite a bit, this is the best place to be culturally conservative. i'm sorry, curious. did i say conservative? yikes. now, there's one little tidbit i'll offer you that you won't find on -- i don't know if supervisor avalos has arrived, but you won'tfight find it on his web-page or wikipedia but i danced in a dance group with his wife and i d.j. their wedding reception. i'm going to ask him about

the first one is from s.f. mta, a proposal for an 18 month campaign, $50,000, to target and encouraged outreach efforts on education throughout the city that were identified in the safety task force. the second program is the conversion project, focusing on high conversion areas, proceeding to convert 12 crosswalks at 12 on controlled intersections. we call them piano keys or continental crosswalks. then there are 21 intersections that will be receiving similar conversions. the final project that we received this from the enhancement of the green light of day trail, to put out section tracks with parallel parking lots on both parts of third street down to mariposa street and enhancing the bike lane from mariposa on conflict areas. so, we reviewed the project using the screening criteria on page 25 of for a packet. this included eligibility of all of these projects for the program. the screening of the prioritization criteria that we focused on readily was that of the funds, the only available, there was nothing

but i will say the s.f. bicycle ocean has been helping the sfmta and other coalitions to make sure that everyone knows about this, that everyone is welcome to participate, get their voices heard. i am proud of the work that we have done with the mta and letting everyone know the process going on. the problem with jfk, the east and the golden gate park, is not that there is not enough parking, is that we are not managing it well. this is true all over the city. they're often the case is, we cannot tell people that ucsf garage is mostly empty. the polo grounds are mostly empty and there are troubled that will take you around. to make this and other projects succeed, we have to become smarter and more energetic about managing the parking we have. we have plenty of parking near the east end of the part. we are eager to help mta, the institutions, rec and park, and other folks make better use in -- make better use of that parking, and get them comfortably an inconveniently from their car to where they want to go.

the presentation i skipped over was about the numerous presentations made in public about lafco and s.f. p.u.c. so there have not been many votes the current commissioners have taken on this matter. there have been public presentations. there also have been some private briefing that's i know of. but perhaps if this is a broader issue, it should be taken up at the giant p.u.c. lafco meeting. >> when is the joint meeting, sfleeze >> we don't have a date. it is something we started talking with mike about today. but i am serious about going to meet on our own -- hopefully with mike, with each commissioner, to talk about what their concerns are. as to the joint meeting, i did have a conversation with the -- with ed harrington about trying to set up their special meeting in august, which is something the commission did direct them to do. and i do think we also ought to set up a joint meeting. i mean, so that if action isn't taken in august, we can be prepared to do so in september when we have the joint meeting. >> i think you're being potentially naive about the fact that coming into a int

that is very exciting, on i think october 15th, we're going to kickoff a new app, iphone app called s.f. heroes. and rob told me right before the meeting that the app was just approved by apple in two days. is that correct, rob? >> 48 hours. >> inside of 48 hours, which is i guess unheard of. i'm not really that -- i don't have an iphone, but i guess that's really -- i guess that's pretty outstanding that they love the app and so we're very excited, yet again another tool to help our residents, people in san francisco be more prepared and be more aware of emergency preparedness. we are trying from every angle we can. as the mayor mentioned, we're doing a loma earthquake dedication and munich's deputy will be here as keynote heading that up. and just a reminder to everyone, shakeout is this month. it's the -- or in october rather. it will be the fourth annual shakeout. we practiced duck, cover and hold. so you will be hearing more about that. please, if you have not signed that and you don't have your department or your organization signed up, please do that. we would like to break the a

that the project sponsor offered to support our local other nonprofit groups, which is green trust s.f. what we're doing there is greening 22nd street, our little neighborhood commercial strip, it's part of the eastern neighborhoods green street plan and designated green streets. we have been working privately to start that project along. and as well we have the historic scott school on tennessee street, which is in a lot of need of restoration but right now we have the idea to put the two out buildings to use as a nursery school and family center. and that group has been fantastic in raising so much money for that and they're also giving us the money for the family center so that will help that project break around this year. so i think that's all i have to say in particular about the project. one thing i do want to speak about is the notification of large projects. i'm kind of confused as to why preapplication for these seems to only be direct neighbors and, you know, notification to the neighborhood association. it seems like there should be a large notification for such large proje
