we have also conducted stakeholder interviews and talked to almost every executive manager in the puc as well as senior staff, community groups. we talked to the southeast jobs coalition, save our sunol, se utilities commission, bay works, as well as the environmental justice subcommittee, and we still have more to go. as a result of this, our findings show that the public is very excited about the fact that puc has made a tremendous effort to reach out to communities. particularly in sunol. the folks there were so delighted to have someone there just to listen to them and help address some of the issues that have been plaguing that community for a while related to puc projects and properties managed and run by puc. what we did find was that the community wants more. they would like to have a stronger community partnership, and they would like puc to be more part of their community. we have developed a community benefits website, and it is to increase public input. it is an opportunity for people to learn about what we're doing as well as to provide input back to us through the online

we are seeking the feedback of the community on this definition, as well as stakeholder feedback, which we hope to gather through the website and through the survey that is online where anyone in the community can look at the definition, look at what we put on the website, and give us input into what we are proposing. the draft definition reads -- " community benefits are those community impacts resulting from operation of its water, wastewater, and community services, and this is on page 13 of your hand out on the powerpoint. "the sfpuc seeks to be a good neighbor and promote stability by trouble bottom line, which balances economic, environmental, and social equity goals." what you do not have in your powerpoint hand out, but which does appear in the draft definition and on the website is what one might call a value statement. the sfpuc creates measurable outcomes and devote sufficient resources to achieve the following 10 community benefit outcomes -- the first one is stakeholder and community involvement, and we put this first for a reason -- we believe that having your stakeholders

we have seen, through many of the stakeholder processes, that there is a lack of clarity on how they stay engaged, how they get information, and how decisions are made. we have put all of the back from materials we have been working with together in a very large binder. not sure where it is, but we are also going to blow all that information on the web site because we want all the community and stakeholders and commission to have access to the wonderful material we have been looking at, and you have the website there, sfpuc- communitybenefits the board -- sfpuc-communitybenefits.org. we want to finalize the definition of community benefits. again, we would love your input. you will find on that definition of community benefits that we have handed out to you contact information for myself, so that if you have questions or concerns or ideas, we would love to hear them, and we put that same invitation out to anyone who is with me, and members of the community. we will produce a final written report with recommendations for a proposed community benefits program by december 1, and the pro

development, your adherence to the local enterprise policy, the ways throughout the region your stakeholders have talked about utilizing local workers and local businesses and local resources to support the puc -- it was very inspiring. in the arts and culture are arena, there are many opportunities to celebrate local artists, to celebrate and used part as a way of educating the community not only about art, but about how the puc works in its role in the community. we did not see health as a criteria for component of other community benefit programs, but we see what puc is doing as a way of having opportunities to improve health in the community, not just with the mitigation of orders and traffic congestion and other things that result from development, but by the maintenance of open space and parks and recreation areas so that people can develop healthy recreation lifestyles and see puc as a partner in developing positive outcomes. in the area of education, i will not go into detail, but there are so many ways to augment what is happening in the public school district and teach young people

we narrowed it to the two best options interview that formally with important stakeholders. and the board of supervisors staff narrowed it to option 10, that was lowering the podium. in 2007 and 2008, the committee approved the project, and it was appropriated by the board of supervisors. also in 2007, we assembled a panel of experts to provide a review for the final design and contribute some discussion to that. we got the final and formal presentations presented to the city hall preservation advisory commission. all of which approved that design unanimously. in march of 2008, the certificate of appropriateness was voted down. we're coming back to you with this final design that lowers the president's podium three steps so it is 12 inches above floor level and lowers the clerk's podium 14 inches away from the president podium toward the center of the room to provide access. and we would build a short ramp, and if we could have the next slide, this is a tutorial demonstration of what this would look like with the handrail slightly different. as you can see from that slide, i

and the stakeholders that are represented from a variety of perspectives who agree, disadepree or who remain indifferent on this particular legislation. one of the main motivations that i have in my early support of this is this. that is after participating a number of years in our budget area process, seeing a district like mine, as well as many others in a very denies urban city like san francisco, is that san francisco city and county is having a very difficult time in keeping up with the demand and the capacity of attending to those who have alcohol-related substance abuse problems. those particular problems often manifest themselves in a level of community and neighborhood frustration and a level of anxious and anxiety because of a lacks -- lacrosse, or perceived lacrosse or sluggish response by the government that they believe is on the shoulders of the government to make go away. i believe that in some respect to address this problem is to exercise a little bit of corporate and social personal responsibility. how we are able to i think evoke that particular responsibility is cr

we work with all kinds of stakeholders, constituencies, regulatory partners, developers, financiers, etcetera, and it really depends on all of the voices, not just one of the voices. success -- do you like this one? can you even see it? success is dependent on a number of factors, not just the elasticity of supply and demand, but a whole bunch of factors that are really quite relevant, in the debate time of development demand. so the reports continue to work with our partners to continue to be ready. i approximately two weeks time, they will hear a term sheet for the proposed development, known more commonly as the eight washington site. this is a really key critical site in the development of the port's gaap and parcel, and i want to commend supervisor chiu on his willingness to consider development at this site. there is a lot of development opposition. clearly, the site could use a lot of improvement, and great things could happen, so i'm going to ask of you, when you're going to the ballot, take a look at the things the mayor asked, so please also consider supporting your partner

were also speaking on behalf of citizens to ensure its closure, so this continues, together with stakeholdersapply pressure and to make it clear to the iso that we look forward to closure. i think the communications between staff, both at the puc, myself, the city attorney, with the mayor's office, with the stakeholders, it has been good in this process, so i think we're seeing really positive improvements in that regard. we have different opinions about the technical information. xibñiÑiÑiduring the board of gos meeting,

hot -- there are some industry stakeholders, and we hope to bring it to you in the near future. president roja: i never ate, it commissioner's comments and questions. seeing none, we will move to item no. 9, new business request for future agenda items. commissioner: just to get the card reader in at a date. are we ever going to read a celebration for the departure of commissioner alan -- have a celebration? >> i guess i can answer. given the level of work that he continues to generate, it is hard. it may be september though, unfortunately. we are required to do that. president roja: anybody else? seeing none, that concludes the tuesday, august 10, meeting of the entertainment commission. i have never been here before. i just want to say ♪ thanks and i hope that all of your i tems turn out right everyone is going to be dancing in the fullman light -- full mooonlight everyone is going to be dancing. i hope your items turnout right. dancing in the moonlight everyone is going to be feeling right. everyone is dancing in the city tonight and i do not want to see any nightclub fightin

he wanted to see the stakeholders, long term role would empower them to take ownership of project outcomes. ta staff claims there is a parallel effort working on market street that will ensure the sustainable project. dpw staff said there would be more opportunities for community involvement over the long term as the project continues. other questions were raised about safety, bart rates, safety practices such as mandatory right turns. all of these were expressed. finally, the cac received a request from an individual from alberta, edmonton, and wanted to talk about the city. as a cac member, former program manager, i met with him for about three hours and took him on a bicycle tour, showed him some of the innovative bicycle improvements we have done around the city. that concludes my report. supervisor campos: any questions? thank you. if we could open this up to public comment. seeing none, public comment is closed. please call item 4. >> recommend appointment of two members to the citizens advisory committee. this is an action item. >> good morning. we have an 11-member group in the cac

everybody was talking about stakeholders and how we wanted a team player. i think the culture makes the player. now you hire somebody that is going to be a team player. we need independents. i am not sure i would go with the reelection everywhere. in san francisco, you have got an intelligent electorate, but i think independence is very important. also, you have to be independent of the judges. we found they were intimately involved in selecting the people who would appear before them. we found 90% of public defenders reported judicial pressure to expedite cases. that means when you are under one staff -- understaffed and overworked, the judge says, you have enough time. we need to move things along. this train that has to be speeding -- i think that is a real problem. judges are implicit when public defender offices are not given the resources to do an adequate investigation, so i think those are big problems we see. >> you raise an interesting point about whether a public defender should be elected or appointed. let me ask you this. you are appointed comm

stakeholders will reconvene and make any changes as deemed necessary. we are certainly prepared or able to come back and give that lessons learned to this panel. that is the conclusion of

we should have stakeholders meetings to figure out an economic analysis of the unintended consequences of this legislation, which is detrimental. and i would ask you to meet with us and try to come to some conclusion on these fees because they are way too high. thank you for your time. chairman nolan: thank you mr. o'connor. next speaker? >> angus cartly and then dave. those are the last two people who have turned in a speaker card today. chairman nolan: good afternoon. >> chair nolan, commissioner, director ford, members, i respect the fact that this item has been continued today. we know that it's been continued because probably people are a little bit concerned about the whole coming together of this whole piece of legislation and amendment of legislation. we're a small builder development community. we actually are not doing too much these days. that's one of the reasons we've come down in the middle of the day to talk to you. but we don't have the luxury to have phlegm monitoring amendments to the code and stuff like that. as pointed out by a fellow member there, you know, this ca

stakeholders will reconvene and

we are just one of many stakeholders.we are impressed with the cities of reached to bring a lot of people together. we encourage you to support this allocation and i look forward to working with you on this in the future. supervisor campos: thank you. any other member of the public would like to speak? seeing none, public comment is closed. supervisor dufty: motion to send this to the board with all recommendations supervisor campos:. without objection. thank you. >> item 11. recommend adoption of a resolution approving a vehicle registration fee expenditure plan; making required findings; submitting to the voters at the general election scheduled for november 2, 2010, an ordinance amending the san francisco business and tax regulations code by adding article 23 to (1) adopt a $10 increase in the annual vehicle registration fee for each motor vehicle registered in the city and county of san francisco, to fund congestion and pollution mitigation programs and projects, (2) authorize the authority to expend fee revenue under

planning process to coordinate with the other agencies, as i just referred to them, coordinate the stakeholders, including the use of our existing advisory committees, catalog the existing conditions, review the best practices from other waterfronts around the world, develop process for open spaces, develop standards for with finding, develop cost estimates and prioritization, and hopefully identify all the sources of funding to help us complete the projects, and what we have on the bottom is we just finished the second phase and concluded the third phase. we concluded the second phase with the third workshop in may. as part of covering the existing conditions, as a document, we wanted to review existing plans and policies that are in place. there are three categories along the blue green light. there are existing plans and policies that affect the entire system. there are existing plans and policies that were developed through neighborhood plans, and then, there are existing community plans that were developed throughout the length of the system, so we reviewed all of those documents, summariz

it's in your pocket as well as notes that we've compiled from the business community and other stakeholders. >> i think the letter we sent on august 3 still is relevant. the points that we make there, we'd kind of like to send those back out again. and then, commissioners, there's some additional notes in terms of discussions that have been had. that, again, to reiterate what commissioner clyde had noted is that the controller's economic impact report does not include the cost, which the wholesalers have said publicly that they will be passing on the costs, between 10% and 20%. then for the business, that means then that will then increase as commissioner clyde had said, this amount of sales tax, and then there's additional impact fees that businesses will be incurring such as increased credit card charges. so, those kinds of costs calculated into the total cost of what the drink is actually not calculated in the economic impact report. >> neither is the standard allowance that's given at the state board of equalization for spillage and service. there's actually, you know, we don't sell or

stakeholders will reconvene and make any changes as deemed necessary. we are certainly prepared or able to come back and give that lessons learned to this panel. that is the conclusion of my presentation. i welcome any questions you might have. vice president mazzucco: i would like to think the chief. i have spent a lot of time with this. it is comprehensive. it addresses the questions we need to address. that is the constitutional right to the accused to know if there is anything in a police officer or civilian background that might have a direct impact on the trial. it also protect the rights of the police officers. i want to commend you. a lot of work and effort went into this. i commend the poa. it is a comprehensive document. it is well done. i heard you say you're getting requests from other police agencies for this document? how many have you received? >> i have personally only received one up from san mateo county. they have convened a panel and asked me to speak with them, which i did earlier today, on the implementation and the protocol. they
