we have been asked to give an overview of the sustainable mobility strategy. i am going to run through a few topic areas and try to do a snapshot of this comprehensive program we are currently working on. it touches on every mode and every issue in this city. it is important to note that the mta has been an agency that has been under a series of mergers for the last decade. the have always referred to us as a muni, but we are more than you need. we have parking and traffic. we manage paratransit. recently, we have regulatory authority of the texas commission. we have a help with a traffic detail. we are a very broad agency that takes care of all the different transportation services in the city. every time you step outside your door in the city of san francisco, you are -- the mta has a strong role. we are building the transportation systems under the year. one thing we have been doing more and more is the last bullet, which is working closely with the planning department and the redevelopment agency and all the other agencies, reviewing land-use and developme

and higher than the sustained rate of 2010.f the 20 cases sustained, and of them were for unnecessary force or conduct which is generally a more serious allegation. none of the sustained cases were commissioned of all cases. zero were for neglect of duty. seven were for failure to collect traffic data and the other complaint was sustained for contacting emigrations had customs enforcement about the complaint on an administrative warrant in violation of refuge ordinance. allegation was also sustained and another complaint for failure to issue a certificate of release. for failure to properly processed properlty. the investigator caseload shows an increase over 2010. the average caseload was 28 cases per investigator. that is double the best practices caseload of the investigators the investigating police misconduct complaints. as of june 30, 2010, the average was 26 cases. the caseloads are increasing and that is really due to the shortage of investigators that we hope to remedy in the fall. the chief investigator who is in the

we identified the opportunity to promote environmentally sustainable alternatives to petroleum.scussed ways to forge the public-private partnerships necessary to fund these efforts. today, our work shifts to the related and critically important areas of the safety and security, something we're all especially mindful of as we mark the 10th anniversary of september 11, 2011. two, strengthening in diversifying our transportation work forces. and three, using transportation investments as a way to promote economic growth and expand trade. let me say that president obama 's administration, these are among our top transportation priorities. along with passing the american jobs act, which the president now has sent a piece of legislation to capitol hill in the last few days, which will put more people back to work and more money into the pockets of our american workers. i have said many times that there is nothing more important than safety. it is the first thing we think about at the department of transportation every day, and it is the thing that keeps us awake at night. that is why

at the core of the sustainable innovation is green chemistry. that is how we create green and products that outperform conventional ones. our approach to sustainable designed is not en -- does not end with what is in the bottle. it also includes the bottle. evidence of that is parked outside. it is also evident in our approach to sustainable package design. that is what i would like to address today. in 2006, method reached a milestone. we created the first custom pvc bottle manufactured completely from recycled plastic. in the five years since then, we have continued to innovate and focus on developing pcr technology to the point where almost everybody we manufacture is made from 100% pcr plastic. that is millions of bottles a year that may completely free of virgin plastic. having achieved in this second milestone and the huge benefits that go with it, we started asking ourselves a question. that was, what is the ultimate recycled material? that is where our attention is turned to the issue of ocean plastic. what if we could take some of the p

allbee: it's not just about the sustainability of the assets, it's about the sustainability of our water resources. parts of this country that thought of themselves as water rich 20, 30 years ago, now are discovering that they really are not water rich, they have source supply issues, they have serious questions about how they're going to accommodate additional growth in their communities. melosi: if we can find alternatives, we can preserve a water supply. conservation of water is a way of generating more water. allbee: we think that a household can actually reduce its water usage by about 30%. and that's hugely important in terms of the amount of infrastructure that community's going to require. narrator: las vegas is one of the fast-growing areas in the country. it's a relatively new city under constant construction. but because it's in the arid mojave desert, the challenge of las vegas is supply. woman: all the growth and everything that's occurred in southern nevada has been with colorado river water. without it, the west as you know it today couldn't exist. narrator: to sustain the

the other big issue is sustainability. i am very uncomfortable with the analysis going on about the sustainability. i am even more concerned the for the first time we have more serp. it was supposed to win hearts and minds and small projects. we know have and afghanistan infrastructure fund in the defense budget. going beyondually what it was ever intended to be. we are building infrastructure in the department of defense. i am not aware we had a the policy debate. i would love to know why we think it is a good idea. is this going to be contingencies or we going to take responsibility away from the state department? i would love your thoughts on that. doctor carter, also about this infrastructure fund. it is 400 million. that is not a huge amount now but neither was served. it obviously has grown. can you illuminate why they felt they needed to create an infrastructure fund in addition to the funds being used for road building and community redevelopment? >> i would be pleased to. i would like to get back to you on that pa

it could make hetch hetchy sustainable just as it is without cca. with cca, we would have to do higher rate increases to provide a choice for folks to be able to choose a more expensive product. albeit 100% green. you are correct. it would be increasing rates on the general fund on the hospital, on the mta, on the school district, on the community college. that would be one way to fund the cca which would give 75,000 customers a choice to pay an extra $7 or $13 or $20 on average per month for 100% green option which they do not have for pg&e. that is a societal policy choice. it is unfortunate that cca is coming as we are running out of money anyway. if we had not done go solar for four years, that would have been $20 million. there are other things we have chosen to do and this is in the folk history at a time that speeds up what is a problem for us anyway. >> thank you. commissioner moran: i was calculating if it was $7 for 75,000 people. and it does that the question, if you are taking $6.3 million a year from power ratepayers, what is the most e

. $14 trillion is not sustainable. borrowing 42 cents on the dollar is not sustainable. borrowing one trillion dollars is not sustainable. the others are now agreeing with him and he deserves credit for being so specific in so aggressive on something we have to do something about. [unintelligible] >> what is your last thought about michele bachmann? >> she is very passionate. she is very compassionate when talking about over use of executive power, wavering around, forcing people to take injections. it fired her up. i think you saw her tonight. she shines a light on this and her record -- >> michele bachmann is slipping in the polls. do you think her performance a day and may have resurrected her campaign and given her that this that she needed to keep going forward? >> one poll? we're not worrying about that. her consistency and term message and her passion on why the country needs to turn around. -- her consistency in her message and her passion on why the country needs to turn around. >> i think the debate we had on

and our mental sustainability. in addition to the bicycle focus, we have to make sure we're managing where people go. there are sensitive areas that can be overwhelmed and other areas that can accommodate hundreds of thousands. we're working with the sustainability plan and the operations plan to move people where they would be well received and move people away from areas in the presidio and sensitive areas where there could be environmental damage. there is a lot of talk about hundreds of thousands of people coming to watch the america's cup. that could be a possibility but during 2012 there will probably be less. we need a plan that is strategic and agile. making the size its response to the best numbers we can predict for who was coming. of

i want to ask about the sustainment issue. last week it was said there's an effort to reduce the cost from around $12 billion to -- about 80%. i guess my questions are how low do you think you can go there without jeopardizing the ability of the ana and anp to be able to sustain themselves once we draw down. second, what do you give up by going with dray maltic reductions. it seems you have to go low and that cuts into core capabilities here. >> well, i would -- in fact, two years ago i know about as much as money and programming as i do today. we spend a tremendous amount of time looking at cost and go out about seven years through a modeling effort we use here that we run and there's changes in the variables all the time, but i tell you in the out years, what you normally hear is long term sustainable, the cost for 325,000 afghan force is $3 million and that's been said and agreed upon as the long term cost. what i tell you 1 from the efforts ongoing here it's going to be lower than that. over the last two years, there's tre

improving our financial capacity or financial sustainability. improving our environmental stewardship. improving our administrative efficiencies. with respect to improving the quality of our parks, parks cores maintained a level of 91%. i am pleased to report that are lowest performing areas -- scores increased by 6% 3 overall, been in the 90% range, especially given our staffing shortage, is a reflection of how hard our staff are working to keep our park clean with limited resources and how successful some of our partnerships have been treat our apprenticeship program has been very successful. our volunteer program has been very successful. some of our other neighborhood programs are working. the structural maintenance yard completed 13,851 maintenance work orders last year. this is an increase of 639 from last year. we fixed everything from graffiti, broken water fountains, leaking roofs, swimming pools, irrigation lines, and broken toilets. our 311 closeout rate remains at 90%. we are closing out 90% of all calls or concerns that come in. we

if we want to make that sustainable, we need to do some of that stuff anyway. do you have a sense of how much we have to do, even without cca, to make ourselves sustainable? >> it depends on how much we do have some. in the order of magnitude, a 2 cent or 3 cent increase would be on the order of magnitude to order, to satisfy the capital plan. whether or not we can issue our own bond, i am making the assumption we would be able to, which would help bonds. that would be assuming a cca, 3 cents assuming and 2 cents without. the big decision is how much transmission investment, how much of that would be over and above what you have in your capital plan. that is in your 11 and 12. that is not in the current plan. as good as it gets, it is 2 cents or 3 cents. if you look at the revenue side. >> we're looking at bonding. >> you're looking at both. increasing their rates to enable you to bond. >> that is without cca. with or without. >> you can do a 2 cent or 3 cent increase. you'd have to go higher than that to meet the demand. >> can i ask a question on the cca piec

more sustained -- most importantly, do they have the human capital and the ability to sustain it? through that effort, we have been able to reduce the overall type of equipment, quantities, and organizations that we built using this system. i got it from the president afghanistan through one of the briefings. he talked to me and said, general, i want to make sure whatever you do is affordable in the long term. i will tell you, the efforts we are doing, the two things that have been clear from michelle for noise -- flournoy -- in no circumstances can we cut corners and the training programs that we have put in place. what ever we do, it has got to maintain the same level of quality we have today and we cannot afford to give up any capability that's required for them to handle the level of insurgency out there. if you believe, and i do, that this level of insurgency will go down -- i do not think it will quite ever go away because of the border region and everything else, but it will go down. that will also be a reduction in the overall size of the afghan security force. that will g

such cities -- sustainable citizens in san francisco.e all know it takes a master's degree to realize the true level of economic stability, but i would also like to say it is important that the young people have a chance to take courses at city college, not necessarily for free, but perhaps some of these developers, some of the folks that will really benefit are able to underwrite some of these young people for their tuition. also, i'd like to just say that in terms of a question you asked supervisor mar about the connectivity with the america's cup, i have had conversations with mr. martin and mr. ellison, but i do not get the sense there will be this strength and my capability of having their attention versus the attention of folks down in other parts of the committee. thank you. supervisor avalos: thank you. >> good afternoon. i want to bring to your attention when i hear presentations made, i only hear workforce and city bill. i hear a little bit about wyc, but ycb, but i do not hear about the other cbo's. we of the renaissance. thes

sustainability, this will be among the first legal certified buildings in the city. lead silver was the project standard. we will be among the first lead gold. higher than silver. >> can you explain what is lead gold? >> over the last dozen years, what has happened is there has been more sensibility or awareness. the u.s. grain building council developed the system called lead which allows you to calibrate just how well your conforming to sustainable building standards. and so you submit your project to the grain building council and they have certain calibrations for various -- green building council and have certain calibrations for various levels. there are some platinums in the city. the puc headquarters is expected to be one. just below platinum and gold. >> if we could return to the slide show. >> this project as you might imagine a especially in regard to fire station 30 will conform to certain standards suggests historic rehabilitation. we do not want to monkey with that building. make it something other than what it was started out to be. for appearance say,
