my vision for butts what s.f. did for dog waste. when i was a kid, picking up the dog waste on parks and streets was not a habit. now most dog walkers would not imagine living the mess behind. i believe most smokers will recycle given the easy, convenient social option that the recycling cans provide. thank you for your time. >> thank you, thank you for your volunteerism. next speaker, please. >> good morning, everyone. i work for d.p.w. as an ambassador. location i work is irving, so before sunshine, i came maybe like a week after i started working. irving street has a million and 1 cigarette butts and i have to sweep it from every corner to between every car, there are cigarette butts and i think that the program is good because there's a lot of people that are noticing and i do the outreach, a lot of them where people are using the ash tray and i'm a smoker myself. so the program came, sunshine explained it to me, the importance of the cigarette butts are as far as the ocean. before i did not know the education-wise of it. i'm on

. >> supervisor tang: thank you, i submit legislation to amend home s.f. today i am joined by co-sponsor supervisor safai trying to make changes to the program that would be temporary in nature through running through january 1st 2020 so that we could encourage more project sponsors to take advantage of home s.f. such as programs like the state density bonus law which say lot more generous but doesn't come with all the different requirements that home s.f. requires here in san francisco. and so we have made a number of changes such as creating three different tiers for affordability requirements as well as ensuring a quicker time line for planning commission consideration of the projects. i think it's important we spend a long time trying to craft a very balanced piece of legislation that reflects a lot of what we believe here in san francisco and i hate to see so many of these projects are opting for a state density bonus law instead because it is far more generous. so with that, i also have a resolution, recognizing may 6-12th as acoustic neuroma awarene

i'd like to talk briefly at s.f. city opening up, and my opinion, turning to a sales pitch with its board members. at&t and comcast. they are great companies and do a lot for the community. that is completely true. but and san francisco, they are like bud and bud light. those are our choices. it is important for us to be aware of that. for those of us who remember dsl way back when, and the late nineties, you can choose from ten or 12 different dsl providers. a whole long list of providers. that was an open access network. it was an open access network over at&t's copper wires. and 2,004, some telecom combat happened and that was cut off. what we are seeing here is the exact same thing. but instead of at&t's copper wire, the city and our families, we own that fibrin perpetuity. we can choose, as tim talked about, from 10-15 isps through our internet. it is bud and bud light and we are san francisco. there is microbrew. lots of choices. just a quick question about supervisor cohen. >> overhead, please? >> this right h

today's clean power s.f. update will cover regulatory activities. a little more on the regulatories this time. with vee respect to enrollment we're serving 81,000 accounts. our opt out percentage and upgrade rate to super green have not changed. 3.2% for opt out and 4.2% of our customers are upgrading to 100% renewable in our super green program. everything is moving along successfully. we are preparing our power source disclosure report for 2017. this report is required to be filed with the california energy commission. after your review and approval. the report will be a again diesed for the next commission meeting. i want to give you a preview. i'm happy to report our base product, which we committed to be 40% renewable it's renewable product and with our hydro production year in 2017, 100% carbon free. so customers who participated last year in our green product, got little more for their money than we told them they would get with that better renewable ngh3 product. looking ahead, our nexe next enrollment is july of 2018. it will increase the c

where i studied human rights and began a career focused on civil rights, i've been with the s.f. h.r.c. since 2010. citizens come to me with complaints of discrimination. we investigate them, we mediate them and a resolution is reached. i intimately know how our city department function. what's happening to victims of drug facilitated rape in san francisco is a failure of the system. those who summon the courage to report this are punished for having the audacity to believe if they go to the police the police will take the investigation of their rapes as seriously as other serious crimes. january 2nd 2016 was a saturday. i went out to catch up with a girlfriend that night. and shortly after midnight i met a charming man who went onto trick, drug and rape me. within hours i reported the rape to police. i threw up in the ambulance on the way to sf general. there i was brought to a dingy waiting room where i sat for hours waiting to be seen. i was physically ill and in shock. no one told me what to expect or offered assistance or orientation. there was no phone service so i couldn't

you will see our clean power s.f. revenues increase about 650% in the next two years and that's one of the biggest things you will see in our budget. as far as, you could see we have a lot going on in the next two years but one of the biggest challenges as we implement projects, programs we are facing is the retirement risk at the p.u.c. particularly in our water and wastewater side. i just want to point out this graph which represents the eligibility of folks eligible for retirement in the next five years and if you look at the red bar, the red bar represents the number, the folks who will max out. meaning it is probably the best time for them to retire because they won't receive any better benefits. it's safe to say the 16% on wastewater probably will retire in 15 years and the rest are eligible for retirement. that's probably one of our biggest risks we are facing so we are looking at ways we can attract the next generation of workers as a high priority to our agency. which leads me into our workforce and our aging

as an asian american professor at s.f. state, 50 years from now, this is an important issue that we will build on as well. >> supervisor yee: thank you. >> supervisor ronen: congratulations to jad. >> my name is doug chan. i'm here on behalf of the board of directors of asian american legal outreach. i'm here, of course, to express my board's strong support for the renaming of the julius kahn playground. on a personal note, when julius kahn ran for the 56th congress to which he was elected in march of 1899, during the fall campaign in october of 1898, my grandfather was born in number 12 washington alley. supervisor yee has pointed out that the law that became the asian exclusion act was both a continuation of priorcommunity progressives, moderates, we're all standing together to say we are one city that values the contributions of immigrants and we are one city to make san francisco the opportunity for all of us so it's time to close this chapter. the chapter is gone but not forgotten. we still have to use this as a teach

for more information go to the connect s.f. website and you can also contact any of our staff here at the transportation authority. and, on the local scene, survey is underway for the reduce of the sales tax over the next five years. i wanted to think a lot of the board members commissioners for circulating our survey on your sights and in your newsletters. we are certainly interested in the public feedback on how we spend the next five years on the programs and funds for a number of categories. pedestrian and bicycle improvements, traffic measurement, resurfacing, traffic calming and the like. we've launched a multilingual survey to gather input which is available online. it is also available in hard copy form. we will make that available to a number of community-based organizations and can also send that to any neighbourhood group or organization that still would like to pass those out. so far we have been able to receive, already 400 completed responses, each of these will be conveyed to sponsoring agencies to incorporate th

given the rule s.f. m.t.a. board plays and they have real authority, that the board doesn't have discretion to oversee, it's important to ensure that relationship exists and as mentioned, not take the vote for granted. but i do want to thank cheryl as well, i do think she has been a very good director and i'm happy to support her today. >> president breed: thank you, supervisor kim. supervisor cohen? >> supervisor cohen: thank you, supervisor peskin, i agree. there's nothing worse than feeling taken for granted. i have been mulling over not voting for her, just for the lack of due diligence that's been taken in this particular matter. i think what's most shocking, it's almost excusable when it's someone who doesn't know the process or new and just learning the process. you could understand that. but this is a seasoned member of the m.t.a. who has been around the halls of city hall for long enough to know what the appropriate outreach strategies should be. first you reach the rules committee and the entire board

without objective rationale without due process by san francisco department of public health and hope s.f. my experience of discrimination is very similar to ms. cheryl thornton at portrero hill clinic. this experience has been devastating, exhausting, challenging, and has forced my resignation for fear of continued discrimination marked as reassignment. many african-american employees decline reporting discrimination due to fear of retaliation. >> clerk: thank you for your comments. thank you. next speaker, please. >> good afternoon. my name is liam montera and i'm here in support of ab2314. as our organization has been for the last three to four years, we've been providing the domestic employer workshops, where we find out that a lot of employers, they don't really know what their rights are for domestic employees. and so if they don't even know what their rights are, it's hard for them to really follow that. so it would be important for everybody to support ab2314 and i wanted to thank supervisor ronen for bringing that up. and also all the co-sponsors and to please ask city, you know,

so i think menush and the community of people around the table, that means law enforcement and the s.f. general came together and revamped that form to be the best it could be for san francisco under the current law. ok. you can read between the lines there. worked with police department, the district attorney's office and the probation department to create new protocols for special victims units when investigators are called out to a domestic violence incident. that's pretty self-explanatory. worked with the superior work and the police department to improve timely entry of d.v. retraining orders and so this was really brought, and you are familiar with the issue, brought from the community. our attorneys, community-based attorneys came to us and said we are having a very hard time getting, you know, people are walking around with a piece of paper they think is protecting them, and it's not in the system yet. so, i am so pleased that the family violence council, perfect for us, right? brought all the stakeholders and problem solved it. meetings with the judges, records department at t

commission, it was a renewed proposal for the commission, so i started to track and i can recall watching s.f. gov of t.v. while burning the midnight oil at work and i was still a public defender and trying to track that taser debate. so, that is the most, the issue that i followed the most closely over the years. while i was a public defender, i had a case that has some notoriety because we caught some police officers, plainclothes narcotics officers breaking a number of laws on video. and it was in the news. the officers, several of them were federally indicted and prosecuted. i didn't get a call from the occ about that case for at least six months after it happened. you know, i can recall getting that call and i think i actually said to the woman, where have you been? this happened 6-8 months ago. so, you know, does have been my interactions, talking about the taser itasers and also through n misconduct case with my work as a public defender. >> that work ended in 2014. in terms of the last five years, have you attended any meetings? have you been active in the conversations? those are the

has been working to create the clean power s.f. as a new line of business, if you will, and then i also know on municipal side we've got this cost of service conundrum. can we use, i don't know how to ask this. can we use the revenues generated, if it's above and beyond our cost of service for clean power sf to cover cost of service for municipal customers? >> we have segmented the rate payer groups and the budget and the financial statements between hetchy and clean power sf. so we are staying true to our rate payers and true to our, what's the right term, bond covenants to keep the separate rate payers to the separate programs f. there was a way we could declare the surplus to the needs of one of the two, they could be, but no, as a general policy, we don't mingle, we don't co-mingle the revenues from the different programs. they are different sets of rate payers and they remain segmented in our budgeting and in our expenditures. >> and as you can see, you know, when we did the clean power sf, until, i think 2022 -- 2023, we woul

ems is working with adc on the annual drill at the s.f. international airport. it will be held in september. the apparatus, not just the apparatus, i would like to think adc. there's a better turnaround and our rigs were getting out quicker. i hope that continues to be the case. it is not good to have a lot of our rigs backed up over there. if you have any questions, we are here. attached my report is the addition of fire prevention investigation. permit violations and expections stats are available for you. if you have any questions, they are here. they continue to do community outreach. prevention dealed nine community outreach events this month. i'm working on the ot policy. they wanted that revised. there is it one more, i would say just one little section that i would like president o'connor to look at and approve. once that is done, that policy should be enacted pretty quickly. i'd also like to think adc to recommend our mru negotiations with the mea. thank you for at the chief and assigning myself and mark corso. it was a lot but it was really a great lea

we did close the go solar s.f. rebate this past quarter. a lot of the recommendations that are outstanding currently right now are due to the cycle nature. we are not able to close audit recommendations on a more timely basis because a lot of that leadership is being assigned to another city-wide department. and so we will continue to work with the lead department and implementing those recommendations. other audit recommendations that are open at this time again are due to other conversations that need to happen at the city-wide level, whether the department of human resources or working with other agencies that also have a stakeholder ownership in these recommendations. but our staff will continue to work on these outstanding items and report back to the commission on a timely basis. thank you. >> president kwon: thank you, commissioners, any questions? >> yes. nancy, thank you. and i appreciate your inclusion of the prior year audit status. you were saying for the three listed, the primary cause of those items being open is the responsib
