the stakeholders meetings we held everyone wants more information period. that said the topics listed in green are topics that lendism to the issue briefed again, it's based on the data we're working with topics used to be orange and turned yellow are topics that present challenges but we that could be possible with some legwork and topics listed in red are worthwhile to study we don't have the data to support in this timeframe. at the two stakeholder meetings the topics that emerged based upon our limbss the first thing which we're highlighting because i think this will be helpful moving forward when considering legislation we would like to explore the changes to the formula retail definition and subsidy changes on the number and types of businesses that are subject to formula retail and that could include the going graph. the next topic that seemed there was a general consensus that is important is labeled as d the one that's labeled the formula retail in san francisco. withhold to chairries this but the ownership and how many are haubsd or haubsd in san

i was appreciative to be part of the first stakeholder meeting last year. that was very productive and useful. our interest to the chamber it that policies will create balance we think the most successful corridors are those that have healthy mixed of all retailers like local or large retailers and you know that you have this healthy mix and we hope this study will help us. one of the things at the stakeholder meeting and i see as part of the presentation was that the some of the data was analyzed and discussed in terms of supervisorial district and that's not helpful or useful. you've got to drill counsel into the neighborhood commercial district. if you're looking at it from the supervisorial view combining the formula retailer and in the supervisors districts it's different because of stones town it's not useful information. ground zero from the tension around those issues is really at the neighborhood district level and that's where the analysis has to happen not useful by the supervisorial district and you'll be able to compare the impacts from the num

i'd like to thank you for including us in the stakeholder meeting. thank you. thank you >> thank you. >> good afternoon, members of the planning commission i'm the director of government affairs for the restaurants association. your organization is a member driven organization we represent extinct and chain restaurants. i want to emphasize and ask this commission to analyze the businesses based on commercial district and not supervisorial district it could skew the data and consider looking at the retailer should include charitable giving. thank you >> next speaker is there any further any public comment? >> good afternoon, commissioners peter cowen i'm a resident in the upper market area and worked on formula retail controls in 2003 and 4. a couple of thoughts an issue areas to focus on. there's a lot to choose from. having seen the impact of the formula retail controls the two things that stand out to me unfortunately in the orange and red they're the most complex analyze but the ones i having ask you have your consolute look at. the first one is the economic

forming this alliance of stakeholder groups in order to contain costs. is ability to do that improving the quality of care. the governor taking the leadership role. we have millions of people who are either employees or part of health care exchanges or are medicaid patients. we have this patient base to do that. what we really need to do is increase the quality of care form, but change the way we serve that population. i think that is the most important thing. transitioning to this different way of providing service and paying for the service, but doing piece of the fundamental things first is necessary. >> i think both governor leavitt and governor ritter picked out a couple of my favorites. collaboration and payment delivery form. a theme that emerges from those recommendations they cited is that in every state we are going to have to create rubber blade a unique local balance between -- probably a unique local balance. set them up as choices one versus the other. of all health care is funded by state and federal government. the other half is funded by

wait for the federal government or the state government to help us and we are working with our stakeholders and we have a program called ready for kaye. it begins from birth to kindergarten. we also put in all day kindergarten in our city. the reason, the data says if you can get a child to read by third grade they will be more successful and graduation rate is much higher. for us this is the best way for us to get our children ready and to be successful and the way we have gone about this is to engage all of our stakeholders from our business community but the program works with parents as well because from birth to kindergarten you need parents to understand what it is they can do to help their child to succeed and some of the parents who don't know english or can't read we have mentors for them so it is very comprehensive and i think it is the right pillars for us to work on. at times we mayors have to take action and work with our school board and superintendent to make sure these things happen and we use our influence to facilitate and engage the business community and others from the

it was a little bit doipt to the stakeholders it was generally drawn by the center virile and we're looking forward to moving forward. i attended the neighborhood and empowerment meeting it was interesting to see the combination of merchant and residents working together to make their neighborhoods better and it was actually very moving from different people in the city about those things that people have done for their neighborhoods and merchants have done. it really was a very regarding evening. that's it for me >> commissioner commissioner riley. >> well, just wanted to let you know this friday is the year of the horse. >> great marry by other commissioner comments. seeing none, public comment is closed >> item 14 any public comment? >> any public comment on this item? for future meetings ins seeing none, public comment is closed next item. >> item 15 new business. >> any items for new business. i have one. and i know we had rachel in from dwp to talk about the clean team and i'd like to have a future meeting about getting merchant corridors more involved with the graffiti clean team. i

and i would define the stakeholders quite probably because everyone cares about this together. to say whatever happens at the national level, we have to make this state healthier. and how do we do that? here are the things that the report has reminded us that we have at our disposal. let's talk about how to make the state healthier. >> we took the first step. >> yes, and you have to do that. >> fair enough so i guess that i would start it with an education effort with prices that are more transparent and encourage consumers to augment the exchange and website for everyone at the state. >> right. >> what you're going to get is the physician groups around us. >> and to tackle this is the state has a malpractice reform, talk about the refinements of that? >> and there are some other models. >> where one committee actually decides that if there has been providing a certain amount of money for it. and so i think that there are some other ways that you can take on the practice and that is one that no one has tried. >> i think the things that the government can't do, but harnessing th

the concession and should the department find a location in conversation with the community our stakeholders that we would present that back to the commission and board of supervisors for their approval. so we thank all the community members as well as the commission members who expressed their opinion and helped to guide us to what we think is a favorable result. so financial benefits to the department. over the last 5 years we've received $748,000 per year from the concession. under the proposed lease and with the added benefit of the mural renovation project and the coit tower restoration project we estimate ref $1.3 million this is an average per year of 5 hundred and 63 thousand dollars. and 2 passenger door $.8 million over the course of 5 years. this is due to the new concession operation we've seen at still lake when we turned over perhaps the data concession we've seen significant revenue improvements for example, at the tea garden the last year that they were there in not and gift sales will be $415 and the lake last year the concession was there 0 which was only about 2 years ago

the budget balancing fingers that the staff putting together with the community and all of our stakeholders four years ago now. i still think they're a really nice set of guidelines ignore trade off decisions as we prepare our budget. the budget in the current fiscal year to give us a context for the decisions is a $160.9 million. of that $138 million is our operating budget with $23.2 million for the cool in the current year. i'm sure you're aware of we have 3 primary source of our budget we have the open space fund and 36 percent by the general fund and savings we generate on an annual base and 37 percent of our fund come from revenue we get ourselves. open space and the general fund together account for $108 million. open space continues to grow, property tax continues to do nicely in the city and so open space is really a vital source of funding. of course, we receive an annual general fund subsidy and we're allowed to keep our general fund savings that we accrue like the police department and we have general fund money left over it goes back to the general fund. we are allowed to revis

most recently, we had an open house with stakeholders and in december to release the latest draft. i want to talk about what is the role of the general plan and what's the purpose of a general plan. it's a high lovely and visionary process. it's the challenge to make the differenttion people don't want to have interpretation and it's a 50 page document. some examples is one is, you know, the last rose said do the urban forest plan it's a separate plan and project it's where all the specification lies. another way the general plan is used is through the referrals. any project that's done on public property comes to a public or private project comes to the department and that's another way the general plan is used. like i said this is the constant struggle how do we keep the visionary and not getting real specific. so why should we just want the elements. it's from 1986. a lot of it been done in 9 existing plan and a lot of the data is old it's not serving anyone else's purpose. we've tried to update that that i'll talk about provide some further clarity on how to preserve open space

not listing at this point the specific sites because the right thing to do is reach out to the stakeholders and neighborhoods. each site we want to assure you will have vigorous responses. i want to reiterate our commitment of the mayor and to the staff in creating nor affordable housing in the neighborhood and the land must be part of the solution and i'll give it back to claudia >> thank you, ken i want to also acknowledge olsen lee who has walked in to join us. one of the program goals that ken described we want to have this for the growing needs for jobs and services. we don't have to prove or explain that the city is growing and we need more affordable housing as well as transportation and open space and others. we want to also those sites are shafrtd throughout the city so we have those sites be a good model. it's important we support the agencies operation. the real estate assets and holding of those are they're to support the mission of the agencies to provide the services their directed to provide so was we look at the opportunities we want to make sure that's the case. as we look

there are a lot of stakeholders and a lot of different interests. i think each level, the way they can help drive innovation are totally different. we have been lucky to meet with tons of different government leaders at all different levels. i have had meetings with crazy ukrainian oligarchs who want to know how to make facebook happen in kiev. right? it's funny. everybody wants to be silicon valley. what i tell them is silicon valley is a 20th century concept. the future is about -- it is decentralized, deglobalized. there will be hubs and clusters that happen all over the place. from our perspective at ga, we think that talent is one of the biggest drivers of the clustering. local stakeholders especially -- in the federal can help by fostering the process and getting out of the way. making sure you are enacting policies at all different levels to make sure your town or state is a great home and a magnet for great talent. that also involves making sure the people are retrained for the 21st-century, making sure that people have the skills that are n

the president asked epa to work with states, utilities and other key stakeholders to develop plans to reduce carbon pollution from future and existing power plants. in march 2012 the epa first proposed carbon standards for future power plants. after receiving over 2.5 million comments, we made the decision to issue a new proposal based on this input and updated information. in september 2013, the epa announced its new proposal. the proposed standards would establish the first uniform national limits on carbon pollution from future power plants. they do not apply to existing power plants. the proposal set separate ral national limits for new natural gas fired turbines and coal fired units. the rule provides flexibility by the operators of these units by allowing them to average emissions over multiple years to meet a somewhat tighter standards. the standards reflect the demonstrated performance of efficient lower carbon technologies that are currenta used today. we look forward to row best engagement on that proposal. and for existing power plants, we're engaged in an outreach to a bro

years i've been working with my colleagues here in congress and administration and all kinds of stakeholder groups across the country to tackle one of the biggest challenges of our generation, and that's climate change. i believe climate change exists and we're living on borrowed time. the longer we wait to address the issue the more damaging and expensive it becomes. before the recent session we had members from both parties including myself put forth legislative proposals that would grow our economy and provide for a safer climate. this was a time when our climate change debates focused on how we would grow our economy and clean our environment. it's not a novel idea in the 1970s and 1990s, republican presidents and majority of members on both sides of the aisle supported, as you'll recall, the clean air act and the clean air act amendments of 1990. these clean air protections protected our health but allowed our economy to grow exponentially. unfortunately in recent years we've seen a shift in the debate and are unable to find none ground on climate legislation. today our climate change

we started a few months ago bringing in stakeholders. andody that is important that has a stake in improving surface transportation, we are starting to bring those stakeholders and to educate us as to what they see as some reforms that need to take place. just like wegain did on the other bill. we had the hearing. reed did a fantastic job. on both sides of the aisle, i had members from both side of the aisle coming up. they were so impressed with what he said. aviation, passenger rail, this surface transportation bill, it will be critical to have the mayors involved to help us sell this. first, to sell it to your constituents. in big cities, it is an easier sell to say to people we want to reduce congestion. we have to do things differently. we need your help educating members of congress. there are some members on both sides of the aisle, there is education needed. on my side, there is a reluctance to think the federal government has a role, or we should not be spending money. on the other side of the aisle, there is a reluctance to str

not talking about the names but is it a good collection of stakeholders who are making these recommendations to look at these issues in a variety of different angles. >> just for clarity are you asking about the process we used inside the defense department? not the composition of the commission? is that correct? >> within the dod and proposition, this is more to explain for those who are watching this for the commission, i don't have the actual composition of the commission memorize or with me but i do recall having looked at it and it was a good representative commission of panel that will have a good opportunity to look fairly and thoroughly and retirement in particular and we have confidence in this panel, good cooperation with them and they are working hard and i think they will come up with some pretty good information for us. we had a number of meetings of the joint chiefs with senior enlisted visors in the room and we have talked about this for months on specifically the compensation pieces and we are looking through it, haven't made a budget submission yet and there has been the pha

the stakeholders in alignment, it is a beautiful thing, but that is not the goal. the goal is to deliver for kids. that is the test of the work we are doing. the other piece which i really love about the practice and program elements you have included, what are we doing on the ground, as i hope our task force that we can be better addition to take advantage -- better position to take .dvantage we are taking our playbook and taking these policies, how do i take advantage of that $100 million to do something real in my community? this task force can be a great tool for leveraging the federal work. >> you are getting to the heart of what we are going to talk about. we will call for the questions because we will have to stay on time. i have mayor johnson, strickland, rawlings,. want to piggyback off of what mayor brown said. we all have to get involved as mayors. i meet with the principles quarterly of all of the schools. they have budget problems. we made a commitment that we will fund it and put school resources officers in the school . i think it is necessary. the p

i think the community stakeholder meetings that you hosted throughout the year, really touched on what the peace cap was about and insight to an amazing recommendation. i think you have done a lot of work this year. congratulations. >> thank you, ms. angela wei, you had an enormous contribution and really added a student perspective layer that was much needed and i want to also say it was a time that we were trying to cultivate our students and you really served a great leader in that respect. thank you for that time and we miss you. >> thank you, angela, i know these meetings aren't always easy to attend. i did this for 4 years myself. thank you to all the student members too. i think we are ready for a vote now. >> miss angela wei, logan, murase, mcdonalds, norton, wynns, fewer, 5 ayes. >> thank you very much. item i. board members proposals and then we have request to speak regarding general matters. please come up to the podium. you have 2 minutes each, please. >> good evening, my name is rachel treb a. i'm the parent advisory committee pack chair. last november we were here and we

c.e.o., what are the stakeholders saying about the president's proposal. bloomberg's reporters are next. ♪ >> welcome back. president obama tries to reform government surveillance while balancing privacy and national security and he has also bought himself some time on iran this week. for on this week's developments, i'm joined by bloomberg's white house correspondent and national security editor, thank you both. margaret, you have been covering the president's n.s.a. review process day in and day out. what was the biggest surprise to you in his speech? >> the biggest surprise was one that he apparently made around midnight last night which was to take a stand on section 215, the collection of metadata. he said it's time for the program to change. of course, what he didn't say is how it should change. a surprise or disappointment to many of his advocates is how much he didn't resolve or spell out, how much he is passing on. >> john, why don't you spell out what some of those unanswered questions are. >> well, the biggest unanswered question is who is going

but he stressed all for the stakeholders should have a chance to produce it. do you know of course is a mistake. i have mentioned a domino patients. there will be an apostrophe. don't carry as many on this record and i's publicly about to run east to play an important role in finding acceptable ways to settle a searing crisis. where i was being coy for the fact which is those are the basis of the russian initiative for the fact that the bowl before and stakeholders who could have an impact on the situation on the ground to participate in the first page of the conference. iran has halted its most sensitive viewing enrichment work as part of the landmark deal struck with will power was easing concerns over the country's new cool program and clearing away for a partial lifting of international sanctions the iaea report to the member states said the agency had confirmed that as of january twentieth of twenty fourteen iran had ceased enriching ewing him above five percent at its plants in the pilot and porter. the move is part of a deal reached with five permanent

, both from tenants, apartment owners and property owner stakeholders. yesterday supervisor wiener raised, some of my colleagues as well. yesterday supervisor wiener raised concerns about the specific case of temporary evictions and what happens if actual temporary eviction [speaker not understood] refuse he to sign a declaration saying they were offered the opportunity to reoccupy the unit. to address this, i am offering an amendment to say that in this case the property owner can submit a declaration to the rent board certifying that the rent board attempted to notify the ten apt of their temporary address. this amendment would apply to both the residential dnc and the nonconforming uses ordinances. i have a copy of that amendment before you and would like mr. givner who worked on this language to explain and read into the record as is necessary. mr. givner. >> deputy city attorney jon givner. the amendment that supervisor avalos is referring to is on page 16 line 22 or begins on page 16 line 22 of the residential dnc ordinance, and very similar provis

i believe this is a great example of city staff and community stakeholders working together to provide a detailed analysis, [speaker not understood] a clear path for the next steps. i look forward to the hearing next year. >> thank you, supervisor -- >> the rest i submit. >> thank you, supervisor yee. supervisor avalos. >> , madam clerk. i have one item for introduction. it's a hearing about the backlog of cases in the medical examiner's office. there was a recent story in the chronicle that described how the medical examiner's office has a significant backlog in pending death certificates. as of last month there were 609 cases that had been pending for more than three months, 389 cases that had been pending for more than sick months and 80 cases that had been penting for more than a year. ~ six the medical examiner's office is budgeted to have four assistant medical examiners, but it is currently only one permanent -- has only permanently -- currently only one permanent and one temporary assistant examiner. the short staffing slow turn around times led the association of medical exami

and we were fortunate to be able to talk to enough stakeholders and be able to get the stakeholders to talk the their members of congress. so it passed out of the house with a 417 vote, only 3 opposed. i guess i'm happy to say it was bipartisan approval, but i was not happy with the bipartisan three against us, two republicans, one democrat. but i think we were able to get to the core of the issue, making sure it was fiscally responsible, everybody said we've got to get the corps of engineers moving. taking 15 years is far too long. and finally, it was important to me to make sure that the congress didn't give up its authority to the executive branch. we've done this for far too long, and i'm a republican, i don't care if it's a republican president or a democrat president, the congress needs to maintain its authority to be able to do things. we were able to do that and, as i said, we're working through the water bill in the conference right now with senator boxer and senator vitter. and my friend from west virginia,ing q who's the ranking member on the committee, we've been happened i

the ability of governors to engage stakeholders, create a stakeholder process looks at change. it can take a while for a new governor to comprehend his power. it's typically not written in any law. utilized, it's a powerful vehicle for change. that's a summary of the different policy levers that states have. you can see there are many such opportunities for states. if you look at all the ones who clear thatt became the variety of things could happen were states could have an important role in controlling health care costs over time. i am honored to have served as cochair on this commission with governor leavitt, who is also secretary of health and human services, and steeped in this subject matter area, an important policy issue for this country that we are fortunate to have a man of mike leavitt's credentials to be part of this larger dialogue for such a long time. i invite you to the podium. >> thank you. just extend some appreciation of my own to the miller center for initiating this project. also the kaiser foundation and robert woods johnson and their role, and all of you

our software connects everyone of those stakeholders and as a result, every one of those stakeholders become customers of ours. they use our software to streamline processes or improve their overall business performance. >> what are you finding as far as running a tech company. we have a lot of ceo's and founders and they talk about the dearth of talent. how tough is it? >> it is tough out there. the thing we have in our advantage is we have a team of technologists that have been working together collectively in this phase for the last 15 years. brings a core competency that really allows us to bring in may be an experienced tech talent, and we can bring them up to speed quickly. you are right, it's difficult to find the talent out there. >> what is the biggest challenge that is not finding the tech talent? what if the next step for plansource? >> keeping up with the growth. there's an incredible demand for what we do. this changes been a catalyst for that. tojust did a series b round help us stay in front of that inwth, invest infrastructure. by doing that we feel we have the comfort

gatesiscussion with bill and the founder and majority stakeholder of bloomberg lp, former new york cityayor michael bloomberg. patricof,w is alan founder of greycroft partners and philanthropist. michael bloomberg and bill gates weighed in on the most important elements to them in philanthropy. .ou are on the global board most important elements of giving for you? , he gave me great -- you gave me -- >> first of all, you gave me great positioning following those in protests. there with a p. capital p. with a the world should be appreciative of people like that. they put their money where their mouth is and do something constructive. , with gates'sk comment, the world will not have poor nations by 2035? that sounds like a lot of optimism. share that could much enthusiasm. he knows probably more than i do. i am on the president's counsel in global development. there are a lot of poor people. it depends on what the definition of poor is. some people use a dollar per day, some people used to. it has now become a dollar $.25 per day. it is suggesting that there is not as many under a dollar

there are a lot of stakeholders and a lot of different interests. i think each level, the way they can help drive innovation are totally different. we have been lucky to meet with tons of different government leaders at all different levels. i have had meetings with crazy ukrainian oligarchs who want to know how to make facebook happen in tf. right? it's funny. everybody was to be silicon valley. what i tell them is silicon valley is a 20th century concept. the future is about -- it is decentralized, globalized. there will be hubs and clusters that happen all over the place. ga, wer perspective at think that talent is one of the biggest drivers of the clustering. local stakeholders especially -- in the federal can help by fostering the process and getting out of the way. make sure you are enacting policies at all different levels to make sure your town or state is a great home and a magnet for great talent. that also involves making sure the people are retrained for the 21st-century, making sure that people have the those that are needed for industr

board we'll go to them, too, and they'll be the first ones out of the gate boutiquely around the stakeholders and open space we know what the needs are but what are some of the strategies. in march we want to initiative the first site meeting we know know exactly which sites but we'll know them later. and following we hope to come back to you in april with the proposals for some of the initial sites. that concludes my presentation and if you have questions the city staff is here >> thank you. i have one speaker card. dr. jackson >> good afternoon happy new year to you. i'm appalled with this presentation that's been made. you know, they know where those areas are. i've gone to three or four meetings with lee from the mayor's office of housing. cutting and pasting a program that we started back in the early 90s. and it's called envision of housing authority. there's no envision i would like you to look at one or two of you to look at the housing in bayview. it's a mess it's not built for family housing and when you talk about mta when the bond measure was passed back in i believe in the 80s fo

in addition, we are meeting with stakeholder groups individually and we've had a meeting with the house for the blind and we plan to create a focus group to look at the projects specifically and we had a presentation that i gave yesterday to the sf mta mobile advisory committee and the club next month in february. we are planning to share our design with the community to get feedback and then we are planning to release a draft environmental document that contains an identified staff recommended alternative. that's where we are headed. i want to talk a little bit about the recommended alternative itself. the corridor is quite long and there are different conditions for different segments of the corridor. it looks different and operates differently in different segments. so when we go to create a recommended alternative we are looking in segments and identifying an optimal configuration for bus laying in each segment to string together to create that staff recommended alternative. the four segments is the inner geary on the east side of the corridor and the fillmore area where geary cross

we were fortunate to be able to talk to enough stakeholders and get them to talk to their members of congress, so it passed out of the house with 417 votes. i think we were able to get to the core issues, making sure it responsible, because everywhere we travel, republicans and democrats alike think we have to get this project moving. it is important to me to make sure that congress did not give up its authority to the executive branch. we have done this for far too long, and i am a republican, and i don't care if it is a democratic or republican, the congress needs authority to do things. we are working to the conference right now with senator boxer and senator vitter, and my friend from west virginia, and ranking member, we have been hand in hand working on this together. it has been a good part of this year. getting tok of out and from our ports, it is a competitive issue, jobs issue, not just about the jobs created, the construction jobs, jobs are manufacturing, where americans go to the grocery store and are able to pay less for a product there morehey got mor efficiently. when

will be 1200 colleges and universities represented there in that auditorium, along with 40 other stakeholders there. whether they be college admissions boards and sat and down the line. what the president and the first lady are going to try to address, not only the skyrocketing cost of college, but it's not just the sticker price. anyone who shops for colleges with someone they know, there are financial breaks, credits, tuition assistance available to many lower income students. and still, the price tag can be daunting. but what they're going to try to address, trying to get lower income students on the right track. in other words, identify early students who have potential in college it get them into the right schools, to college to partner with some of the institutions you see there. the larger is what the president is talking about during the course of his administration in the last five years, and it sort of leveled off. but oval, the past 19% in the last five years. and this affects the middle class, and we expect the president it talk about it not only today. but in two weeks time, the

sure exactly of the outreach that the consulting team did but i know they interviewed a number of stakeholders on both sides of this issue. one concern is development but the the other is the city entering the marketplace as a seller and other competitions to facilitate their restoration. and so in that respect there's some choices that need to be made so we move forward cautiously so we don't influence that market to a great degree. there's competition in a marketplace. there's legitimate questions raised by those who want to sell t dr they have flexibility and we have set a floor on pricing that's firm. there are avenues who can be explored for development rights to sell. the public nature of the discussion has been at the capital planning committee and, of course, this process today and a could you comment on the budget analysts recommendation amending tow cutting it down to 5 hundred and 50 thousand gross square foot and come back to the board >> all right. supervisor we're comfortable with the 1.1 million square feet of the t dr to the planning department but a reauthorization for 5 hundr

guarantees that the rescoping is in the public interests that i they establish the project given the stakeholders comfort that there will not produce anything negative. this has taken me time to understa understand. acknowledging this isn't isn't the only chech church we've gotten this request from. saint bonding if his is important in the community. this legislation has a broad support population and my colleagues will describe in brief. thank you, commissioner i'm having trouble talking to the maximums to the project and i appreciate our support to the proposal >> thank you project sponsor. >> commissioners. director ram. my name is a edward i was asked by saint bonding if his to rezone the property for the sale of the tdr. it's one of the most architecturally significant building in the tenderloin. the original building was completed in 1902. the great earthquake of 1906 destroyed nearly the entire structure. incredibly the main tore remained standing out of the earthquake and incorporated into the ed face. therefore the church as it stands today includes the largest of the architecture featur
