sf lafco chairperson john avalos and sf puc sf 31234 item 4: general public comment: members of the public may address the special joint meeting of the san francisco local agency formation commission and the san francisco public utilities commission on matters that are within their respective jurisdictions and not sf 41234 >> one of the most important things to remember when we are talking about what we are talking about clean power is to address the carbon foot print. it's not as if we don't have energy in san francisco. we do have. and the public has to be informed how much we get from pittsburg 400 omega watts. how can from p g and e. we have to define and the quality of that power and how is it going to contribute to the diminishing of the carbon foot print. today if you look all over san francisco, we have huge buildings using huge amounts of concrete that contribute more to the pollution and contamination of san francisco. today in san francisco we have over 4,000 toxic hot spots which the city and county of san francisco has not addressed. today in san francisco we have over 200,000

i really appreciate all the hard work that lafco and the sf puc staff has done. it's really a victory for them and the groups that have worked with them to bring this rate down. we recognize this is a not to exceed rate. this is a cap. a cap that will protect customers from any future energy price bite. we think it's important to have that protection if place for customers and we are confident in our talks with sf puc staff and what we have in the region that the actual rate at launch will be much lower and even still and we've seen successes in places like paleo alto. that is not real today but it's promising of what might be coming in the future that will be possible for us. we look forward for working with the commission and staff and seeing what we can do to minimize the shell contract and add to it to build the local jobs that are so important. we are happy to hear people talk about and some of the advocates have been suggesting and that there may be opportunities and other ways that we can involve labor in how we expand this program and most importantly how

i support clean power sf. i'm very excited to opt in as soon as i can do that. i urge you to set this reasonable rate for this so we can move forward. thank you. >> thank you very much. before the next speaker i will read more cards.

sf task is a program that began, sf path is similar to san francisco but it's available to those people who will be available for medi cal come january 1, 2014. the current 10 thousand enrollees were enrolled, they will be all the nautically enrolled in medi cal in january where the sf path program will end. these two programs, healthy san francisco and sf path have put san francisco well ahead of the health reform implementation curve compared to other states in the nation, healthy san francisco was created in 2007 and because of this long history we have of coordinating scare for the uninsured, we have largely add deed pent up demand, it is a spike in utilization that occurs when an uninsured person first gets access to health insurance. we've promoted the medical home model, our uninsured are already used to the medical home, our managed care and which will be most prevalent under health reform. we have more providers in our community who are committed to serving our low-income population and more importantly, we know who and when are uninsured are for the most part, for 71% of our u

i'm testifying against the clean four sf program because it is

you have done such a tremendous job to continue the path forward for walk sf. what i really respect about you is that in addition to being a tenacious advocate for pedestrian safety, you really understand that you can't just view any mode of transportation in a vacuum. that for pedestrians to be safe, to have great streets to walk on, you also have to have great public transportation, you also have to have a bicycleable city and also have to have safety for vehicle travel. i have seen time and time again that your willingness to get involved in all sorts of interesting transit issues, that may not be directly about pedestrian safety but support pedestrian safety and that kind of broad thinking and transportation is really critical. so it's a great honor to honor you today and i don't know if president chiu, you want to add anything. >> thank you, supervisor wiener, first of all let me say, my staff and i have said we should honor you and he beat us to the punch. we are happy in joining others in thanking you. pedestrian safety is one of the biggest challenges t

and the sf program is a major part of the city's effort to meet its greenhouse gas goals. so, we want this program to be successful and i could keep working and to keep working regularly and smoothly rather than having it stop and start, and so, sooner rather than later, would be much better, thank you. >> >> could i ask a quick... >> it you for being here and thank you for your support. and mr. id from the line defense project presented an idea related to modern unit organizizing and we discussed this and there is a jobs component that is important and it is important to the labor organization but it is even more important to the committee of workforce that all of these organizations represent. and do you feel comfortable with the idea presented by him today? >> well, you know, we have to take it >> the modern using organizing. >> and it is the workforce come ponent. >> yeah, i guess that i will have to take it back to the group. we do strongly support that component of the program and that is one of the rens that we are concerned about the gaps in the program because it

i support clean power sf. i'm very excited to opt in as soon as i can do that. i urge you to set this reasonable rate for this so we can move forward. thank you. >> thank you very much. before the next speaker i will read more cards. >>> i believe the rates, it's my understanding that the rates will be a way to provide tangible evidence of what we can do with the build out and jobs in the future. i think that's the key in discussions moving forward. finally i believe this is an opportunity for san francisco to be a hero and the leader in the nation as far as climate action goes. so, thank you. >> thank you very much. next speaker, please. >> good afternoon commissioners. thank you for being here and for your hard work and for working diligently in the last few months for bringing this rate down and thank you for listening to san francisco consumers on that. i'm jess from the sierra club representing our 6,000 members in san francisco. the sierra club supports the no the to exceed rate of 11.5 cents today. all the community advocates for sf power encourage you to

and we have the sf guide how to reduce theft. so with that i'll see if you have any other questions >> i was going to say that i know supervisor campos with the m t c and i bag this evening have this long, long meeting going on but with the strategy and the area grants if he were to secure that more money for better bike parking how soon would they be able to implement this. you say 4 to 5 hundred bike a rack but if there were more funding how soon >> that's - we're going to determine the best places by i'm not what the answer is to your question but i can get back to you if we had a certainty increase of funding. >> thank you for wearing your hat and a thank you for having this guide in multiple languages. mr. chair can we open this up for public comment >> i have a number of cards and mark is here with the bicycle coalition and we have another gentleman who i want to come forward. i'll read the rest of the cards >> hi mark with the san francisco bicycle coalition. thank you for beginning this dialog. we have heard that regularl

without healthy sf, i don't know how my brother would have gotten better. they -- i didn't know my family would be illegible for healthy sf, it is the only option for indocumented residence, even passing the immigration requirement in congress, under the current proposal, undocumented residents are being intentionally left out of accessing health care, and having access to health care is a human right. as a city that is strong to have equality for all, please show this regulates to how we treat san francisco residents health care. >> thank you. i just want to note for the audience, we want to move the meeting along, to i would ask that you refrain from applause, you can do hand signals if you want, but we want to make sure we respect your time and we give everyone an opportunity to speak, so thank you very much for your patience, go ahead. >> hi, supervisor, my name is susan fang, i'm a health policy [inaudible] with the chinese progressive association, i was also born and raised in san francisco, i'm currently a medical student, so you know, i'm really pro

sf 1 [!ez speaker 03]: >> this is presented by the mayor's office. >> good afternoon, i'm please to be here with this ordinance that is held by the planning commission , this is an important measure towards standardizing the hazardous soil and ground water. we have staff from dph and dbi as well. i will give you more details. thank you so much. >> chairman wiener, paul with the department staff. this item before you is a proposal to amend certain portions of the buildings by the mahar ordinance which was adopted in 1986, a public health and safety ordinance for handling contaminated soils during construction process. i will put a map down. if we can display that. the mahar ordinance along the eastern shore of the city, at the time mahar was adopted it was known to be contaminated. what mahar requires is that when an applicant getting a permit, is applying a permit that will destroy 50 cubic yards of soil, before the permit can be issued, they are referred to the department to determine whethe

one step towards that in terms of a not to exceed rate for the green energy program and clean power sf. like members of the public 350.org and other clubs that these rates can beset and there still can be conversations with labor that will bring greater fruition to the collaboration and understanding of how we can work together to make a green program under the clean power sf. i'm hoping that we can come together particularly from the lafco side moving forward on a resolution supporting the not to exceed rates and if there are other commissions who would like to speak, leah pimentel. >> thank you. i would like to talk about the highlight of the program. do you happen to know the breakdown of the district and my second question was in term of the marketing for the program, how many different languages are the materials translated into? >> i will answer your question. kim malcolm director of the program. we don't have estimates of where the jobs would be created because we don't have a plan that is that glandular yet. the goal is to have as much as possible in the city. todd can answer t

so i don't have any cards. >> i was listening to a person that now works for sf puc. and are we here, we the public, to make statements one-sided statements. now, do you think for a second and i can give you instances that any city department including sf puc has a clean traffic record? so we don't want this gossip like what c puc does i have been been before puc and pg & e and i know pg & e throws a lot of money there. they have been here more than five years. they take on the san francisco. i also know that most of the cases that the city has brought against pg & e, pg & e has won. the city has won a few but pg & e has won most. i was involved in a case where three conduits were under our force main. by our city, with the knowledge of sf puc and they tried to put the blame on pg & e to compromise our force main. when the public gets home, we the public, we need the experts to discuss factual stuff. we know pg & e is going to fight you and you need to fight pg & e. >> your time is up. >> next speaker please. anyone else would like to comment? seeing no one. public co

out to sf general. elise, what do we know? >> we now know the 10 critically injured passengers taken to the er behind me earlier today have been taken out of the er. being treated in other parts of the hospital. we also know there has been a second wave of passengers that arrived here. those passengers, less critically injured. want to show you the video now. in fact, we saw two women walking into the, into the hospital. another woman wheeled in on a stretcher. in total as many as 30 could be transported here today. earlier we were able to confirm eight adults and two children were again in critical condition. the adults range in age from 20 to 40. those patients have been taken out of the er. as you can imagine. hospital personnel have their hand full today. here is how they are responding to this large medical emergency. >> right. so we have members of the nursing staff, medical staff, we have radiology, pharmacy, laboratory, we have chaplains, social workers, and the entire trauma team has come together as they woulden a dr

finally i'd like to give a shout out to sf save. i've had the pleasure probation officer to work with those folks. i strongly support those folks. thank you >> thank you. next speaker, please. >> good morning. i'm shawn sullivan i'm a member of notary republic no. i live on ashbury where the bike lanes. my personal experience in san francisco i've lost two to theft from my private property. the result of break ins and almost a year ago exactly i was cycling towards golden gate park and i saw a van with its backdoor open and in that van were maybe 20 bikes and on the grass between the panhandle grass were 15 bikes and people were working on them. i rode past and i know what happened. i stopped my bike and a waited about 20 minutes and thought i'd call 9-1-1. i found out that that phone call ruled in a felony arrest warrant but the apathy was shong. the bicycle registration program certainly will go a long way of mite the results of having your bikes disappear. about a year ago i come down to my garden and found a little kids bicycle

i'm joined by colleagues of the sf puc if you have any questions. >> thank you. any questions? >> okay. we have a budget report for all three items before us. why don't we go one by one. >> mr. chairman, members of the committee regarding item 3 on page 17 of our report, the total estimated project cost of not to exceed $7 million, 67 percent more than to not to exceed from the construction company. however puc explains tht justified because they encountered additional cost in unanticipated site conditions. on page 18 we report the resolution does not include removal of the repairs at a cost of 575, 529. amend the line 9, to reflect that. there is a reference to that of $600,000. it should be 5$559. >> another increase. from $7 million to 7.755. for work that has already been completed. shall i go to the next two items? >> yes. >> regarding item 22 of our report, we report that it's shown in table on page 22, the contractor delta star has submitted invoices and all of the repairs were complete on february 12, 2013. such that no expenditures will be incurred. our recommendation

working with the city the past few weeks to try and consume some of the data that's a part of the data sf data repository and tell a story about urban growth. so, this is a mapping platform that allows you to not only visualize your data like you see here, but also ask questions of your data. and i'm pulling data from multiple data sources. here we have data from the city. we also have data from private data sources that read -- not going to mess with it. there's one of the variables now, the bottom you see there is median household income. we're pulling in all these different data sources, creating a beautiful visualization to tell a story at the neighborv level of how the city is growing. and some of the things you're seeing on the map here are a pipeline of information about both residential permits over the past decade or so, how has the city allocated permits throughout different neighborhoods in the city. and some of the other things you're seeing on the map is the approved businesses, the businesses are currently doing business in the city. one of the things we said once we started

sf puc has put this forward. those that understand the more technical issues are going to volunteer as we have to educate the community and work with our youth, young adults to give them jobs as we have been doing and in our office which is located in the southeast sector. thank you very much. >> thank you. next speaker, please. >> good morning, dr. jackson again. thank you very much. i want to repeat what other people have said. but, i'm happy that this day has finally come that something is going to be done about the sewage plant there. we have been smelling it for the last 60 years. i would like to say i have been a resident of bay view hunters point since 1948. that's a long time to be smelling. i was there when they started in 1950 building without us knowing anything about it. i have worked, as you all know, when i come and speak before you, i speak of the community. the community is all of san francisco. so, what i'm hoping and i have seen the design because i don't want anyone coming to my community witho

i'm testifying against the clean four sf program because it is not culturally competent. i believe it will force my family who has never heard of this program to participate without their consent. this is automatic enrollment that requires those who are unwilling to participate to opt out. immigrants tend to not change their -- my family and other immigrant residents are likely to have to figure out how to opt out of a program they don't understand. this means that the automatic rolement requirement would force the residents to comply with a program they don't even understand. in short puc program will trap residents in the program. this is why i urge the program and urge puc to consider this program. >> thank you very much. next speaker, please. >> hello, commissioners. i'm a student resident here in san francisco. thank you for all the work that you have done on this project. it seems that a lot of project has gone into this in the last few months. i'm glad that this is happening in this city. i think it's incredible that we can do this together and really step the infr

sf general received is 53.ldren as of midnight last night and seven of them were released. and 123 just walked away uninjured. >> ken pritchard is at the news conference. and he will bring us a live report. >> as soon as that wraps it up. >> the chinese consulate is offering to help all plane crash victims. >> 141 chinese victims were on board. >> they said it will open at 10:00 this morning and help victims get new passport and other paperwork they lost in the crash. the consulate is located at 1450 laguna street in san francisco. and president obama gives thanks to the emergency personnel. a statement by the white house said the president didn't expressed his it gratitude for the first responders and his thoughts and prayers go out to the family who lost a loved one. >> we are going to fast ball monitoring the investigation into the crash and throughout the morning. our coverage also continues online at ktvu.com. >> you will find the raw footaging above the scene of the crash site and you can listen to the re
