i'll give you a brief update on connect s.f.we were last here in november 2017 and will return again in about a month and a half for your approval of this vision and any further responses to any questions that you might have today. important question is, what is connect s.f.? it is an aligned effort between a number of city agencies and it is really different in that it is a ground-up process. we started this process together, to look at long-term transportation needs for san francisco in a kind of explicit recognition that we are and have struggled in the past to plan for the future of today that we're experiencing right now. we are before you right now, the first phase is the vision fades. think about it as setting a target for ourselves. but it is important in that we'll use this vision in the next two to three years both in terms of transsit and street project and also with an eye towards funding decisions at the county-wide transportation plan. as well as the planning department's first update of the transportation element

would see buyers sell the bulk of its crop seed units and its glyphosate herbicide business to be a s.f. brussels gave the go ahead to the deal despite opposition by environmentalists who fear it gives too much power to the world's leading agree chemicals and seed manufacturers they're now pinning their hopes on a no from us or therapies who also have yet to give a green light to the bio monsanto deal. the european commission has put forward proposals to close tax loopholes for global tech giants like apple google and amazon tech companies like google headquartered their businesses in places where they get a tax advantage facebook for example has its international headquarters in ireland . the e.u. commission wants them to pay taxes where they sell their products not in the low tax regimes where they're registered. prosecutors rated b.m.w.'s company headquarters on tuesday as they search for evidence in the ongoing diesel scandal b.m.w. c.e.o. harold kluger said the company's diesel vehicles were not manipulated the just released twenty seventeen financial results contrast starkly with

so the a.i.a., s.f. and public policy supports the adoption of the document and we hope it will be approved. >> thank you, very much. >> next speaker, please. >> sorry i didn't expect that. rose hillson, coalition for san francisco neighborhoods land use committee delegate from jordan park improvement association. i realize now that there have been a few changes since i last saw this document so what i'm about to say may not pertain in full but i'm just going to read it because it's all i wrote. i was here to tell the public that what is happening with the u.d.g. is they orchestrate the future changes to planning code in all their vagueness to violate the code as it is today. now enforcers of the planning code i was wondering why the commission would adopt these things that are illegal today. everyone thinks it's about design but it's really the ideas of the u.d.g.s are crafted to change the future and existing design guidelines and the needs and it needs changes to the planning code to align with it. so

s.f. alert. and, again, i want to make a plug if you text s.f. alert to 888-777. just wanted to make sure i got that right. that will give you the information about avoid the area for police incidents, for fire incidents, rum which -- ruptured gas mains and all that stuff. that is coordinated through the emergency management division. and 9-1-1 shares the information and we send out that information for going beyond, avoid the area. our department will co-ordinate with the police department's public information folks to be sending out information that's determined by the incident commander on the scene. so whatever -- and that will vary tremendously based on what the information is and what information is useful to be sharing that. e that will happen as well as an incident unfolds. >> the -- and the fire department has a informations officer. and i think he is pretty good with his devices. he tweets and might even have a facebook update. so, reach out to him and see what he has. >> great. thank you. >> hi, i manage the mezzanine down there on jesse street and as f

of him omitting a literally scores if not hundreds of foreign contacts he had when he supplied his s.f. eighty six in order to obtain a security clearance if those things were intentionally misled and withheld they could be perjury problems with regard to mr mr questioner and lastly it's quite clear from the leaks out of the state department in the white house probably mr kelly that mr questioner has virtually no allies many enemies and the only person who saving him is mr trump himself the president and mr trump is known to be quite erratic with regard to his loyalties he's narcissistic i think to to say the least and i would feel very precarious of our mr questioner at present but i mean critics of both president trump and jared cushion or say that christers position in the white house makes a mockery of federal guidelines to prevent nepotism and conflicts of interest but if if there are guidelines that are in place i mean are they just being ignored. well it seems that virtually the entire legacy of modern american governance and constitutional norms is being ignored or at least twi

we led the fight for clean power s.f. and have some of the world's strongest environmental standards like the styrofoam ban ordinance i spearheaded in 2016, but we're -- what our federal leaders are doing is going backwards. please join me in sending a message to the e.p.a. and the trump administration that turning back is not an option. do right by the american people and our environment by implementing clean power plant policies and programs throughout the united states. with that, colleagues, madam clerk, item 42, please call the roll. [roll call sflchlt [ [roll call] >> clerk: there are 10 ayes. >> supervisor breed: resolution is adopted unanimously. >> clerk: motion of proponent and opponent ballot arguments for submittal to the voters at june 5, 2018, consolidated primary election. >> supervisor breed: colleagues, item 43 is consistent with our standard practice in designating supervisors that will serve as proponents and opponents for the upcoming june election. based on communications received from colleagues eith

i'm from s.f. h.a.c. i just wanted to reiterate as i'm sure you heard from my co-worker corey the last few weeks that this project is a massive upgrade over the current parking lot, given the massive housing shortage that we're in the midst of. it also hits the quota for every population in the city that needs housing. on top of that, two of the best builders in the city, two of the most help rabble builders have community support from both the north beach neighbours and the [inaudible] coast neighbours. to add anymore urgency if you could to this particular project, 250 laguna just went down and we need housing for folks who would have had that housing. thank you. have a good afternoon. >> thank you very much. next speaker, please. >> good afternoon. i'm afraid i have a question. which is does the a.m.i. level go low enough to accommodate seniors whom we know nationally have a social security amount of about 14,000. will they also qualify for the senior housing? i am really pleased that i like the idea o

whitehouse and just to clarify that the salaries at s.f. general are for additional per diem workers or for full-time staff? >> my understanding and greg wagner is here but my understanding is that when they have an unexpected bump in census, they bring on more temporary workers, which is why you are seeing the savings and benefits but overaging and salary. the department isn't sure if it's an on going increase, if it were, it's something we would address in the budget next year. at this point during the year, they're not sure if it's on going or temporary so they felt that when they have large fluctuations and census, temporary is the way to go and that makes sense from an operational perspective. >> what i'm hearing is they're per diem this year and it's determined they will become full-time a staff we'll make the budget allocations for next year. >> correct. >> we always use the overtime supplemental to check on how departments are doing current year, similar to the six-month report. we try really hard to make the budget reflect what is

there will dos i'm going to feel lucky to live as though you these in the s.f. the your the world you don't need or go you'll see it's a little better she'll. feel great looking for storming to elect the stool to get out of this way look. he can see there are they. and they did he kitchen ain't in the list strategy if you do i meant it to support them in killing us out of their squad in one city or two but not. a miscue a quick look at my just strategy mission while you're on that have an event on the best chippy to call man in stock or that back there in the genome void that. after months of anticipation he witnessed massimo chanche ameena is ready to testify he alleges that members of the italian establishment conspired with the mafia and godfather taught tory enough during the wave of terror attacks twenty five years ago. on day one gentlemen and makes an astonishing charge that the state made a secret pact with three and a successor he claims that the new boss of bosses but not a province on was allowed to run his crime empire undisturbed by the authorities

first item suppose date for clean power s.f. >> good morning commissioners, barbra hail. i'll report on the success of our program. we're continuing to serve over 80,000 accounts, still seeing a very low opt out rate and seeing customers continue to upgrade to our super green 100 100% renewae service. we've also been very active in preparing forren rolling additional customers as we've discussed. the general manager is working with us to execute supply contracts and we'll continue that activity. i think at the next meeting, we'll be able to present to you more details on the portfolio of supply that will be relying on to serve about 100 megawatts of additional customers starting july 1st. one of the key steps in being able to sign those contracts and make those commitments to our counter parties is the ability to have that credit facility that we've been working on. we expect that to close early next week and we'll finalize the rest of the portfolio and present that to you at next week's -- next commission meeting in two weeks. we are also are continuing to work with the

my name is alex lanceburg, a research and advocacy director with s.f. electrical construction industry. i have been working with colleagues in the san francisco building and construction trades on an issue i think near and dear to your heart and something you covered a few times last year and that is modular factory built housing construction. we have been conducting an extensive amount of research into the legislative history of the factory build housing law and the state building standards law. it's become quite clear and i have a white paper explaining this that the modular construction is indeed or the local building standards do indeed prevail with regard to modular construction. modular manufacturers and developers have been trumpeting the loophole that's exempt from local construction in a way to essentially externalize the risks of substandard and unsafe buildings onto the public. the fact is that by not complying with san francisco's building electrical, plumbing, seismic, fire codes, what these manufacturers are doing, as i said, is externaliz

imposed several conditions on buyer they included selling parts of its business to german rival be a s.f. that deal announced in october would see buy or sell the bulk of its crop seeds units and its glide for say herbicide business to be. in response to these concerns the parties have submitted a remedy package worth well over six billion euros. this remedy package removes all problematic overlaps between the parties activities. and it ensures that the number of global players active competing and innovating in seeds and pesticides remains the same before and after the merger brussels gave the go ahead despite opposition by environmentalists who fear the deal gives too much power to the world's leading manufacturers of genetically modified organisms g.m.o. foods and the controversial weed killer glyphosate u.s. regulators still have to approve the merger. let's turn to the african continent now because in strong contrast to the tariff conflict currently unfolding between the u.s. and its trade partners african leaders just signed the creation of the african continental free trade area a

members of the public on why this needs to be funded is -- i'm shocked that we haven't seen someone from s.f. travel here. i mean, it's really -- i'm at a loss for words and sort of describing and in the basic things that we have to deal with. just even walking over two days ago to the library. there's just human waste everywhere. we've already heard about all the needles and it's just something that we have become callous to. we have to explain to our children why people are having mental crisis out in the public. we have to explain to our children why there's human waste all over the place. we've seen the consequences of it in san diego already. and it just, the pace keeps continuing. this is an extraordinary wealthy city. we need to be able to do this. if not for help the people who are immediately surrounded by this stuff who are living on the streets or who are living in these communities, at the very least for our own self respect to be able so we don't have to deal with right-wing newspapers talking about how san francisco can't keep its streets clean. this is an imperative and i hope
