while we didn't give recommendation from the capital committee, it was primarily because we didn't have the ceqa clearance. now that we have the ceqa clearance, i would move to the planning commission that this additional shadow impact. >> any questions or comments? >> i am prepared to vote. it is to register what continues to be my actually frustration with the ambiguity in the whole space. and we visited every single time, so i am going to say it every single time that on the one hand we say there is a quantitative measure, and it is what it is. either it passes or fails. on the other hand, we see it as a qualitative set of measures and it gets really squishy. today united players is not here. if they were here, we might have a different conversation. and that whole dynamic, so i will say it every time. i am prepared to vote. >> thank you, commissioner. seeing no other comments, a motion and favor. all those in favor? so moved. we are now on item 8, silver register ras and youngblood -- silver terrace and youngblood coleman synthetic turf project. >> good morning, commissioner, genera

i just want to start by that i thinking naomi kelly, and the work of the capital planning committee. use of the work of the capital planning committee over the years, we've been able to have a very well-thought-out plan for investing dollars in facilities that the city owns, especially our public safety facilities. and in 2010 and in 2014, voters passed these bonds without raising property taxes but with almost 80% of the vote to support rehabilitating facilities all over san francisco. and just this year, i was really excited about cutting the ribbon on station 5, which is my home station, where i used to get my toys as a firefighter. our firefighters and our police officers, fixing our buildings and making sure that they can sustain an earthquake is so critical to protecting the lives of our citizens. in fact we are all reminded from last week, the major earthquake that happened in southern california and the devastating impact it had on that community, we are reminded that we have to be prepared. it's not about if, it's about when a disaster strikes. so what are we going to do to m

if the commission were to give its approval today we would go to the capital planning committee for theirproval on july 22 with an eye towards introducing the ordinance at the board of supervisors on july 30. if there is no appeal, of the dismissal of the litigation against prop a by august 19, then we will simply table the ordinance at the board of supervisors. if there is a an appeal and the city chooses to delay the first of bond sale which is an open question we would work to get the items scheduled at the budget and finance committee when the board returns from its recess at the beginning of september and then we would hope to have full board approval by the end of september which would then allow us to continue the program. that concludes my presentation i'm happy to answer questions. >> can i have a motion? >> so moved. >> any public comment on this item? public comment is closed. >> thank you for the presentation i am in support of the item and i would continue to see planning so we can move this work forward. thank you. >> i support the item. >> i support the item and think you,

the department of building inspection and code advisory committee in august, the board of supervisors land use committee in september, and the full board in october. while not in the department of the environment presentation, the capital planning committee members expressed concerns. with increased reliance on electricity, the issue of reliability was raised. the response was possible use of battery storage for electricity. although not specifically related to this presentation, the issue of undergrounding was raised. with the risk of blown transformers and downed power lines, the undergrounding of utility wires should be considered as well. with pg&e in bankruptcy, i would urge the sf puc, and the board to replace storage batteries and the undergrounding of lines on the table. in response to pg&e, the west side has lots of gophers. the sand dunes are their native habitat. we shouldn't put in undergrounding without concern for the gophers. district 1 -- district 4. >> supervisor fewer: yes, i know i have gophers in my back yard. >> does the committee want a copy of this? >> supervisor fewer: yes, thank you very much. >> okay. >> supervisor fewer: thank you. next speaker, please. yes, next speaker, please. >> can i hav

. >> so the finished capital planning committee, i think about three years ago, issued a guidance thaty facilities must exist on sea level rise. >> the station 35, construction cost is approximately $30 million. and the schedule was complicated because of what you call a float. it is being fabricated in china, and will be brought to treasure island, where the building site efficient will be constructed on top of it, and then brought to pier 22 and a half for installation. >> we're looking at late 2020 for final completion of the fire boat float. the historic firehouse will remain on the embarcadero, and we will still respond out of the historic firehouse with our fire engine, and respond to medical calls and other incidences in the district. >> this totally has to incorporate between three to six feet of sea level rise over the next 100 years. that's what the city's guidance is requiring. it is built on the float, that can move up and down as the water level rises, and sits on four fixed guide piles. so if the seas go up, it can move up and down with that. >> it does have a full range

eileen bogan, coalition for san francisco neighborhoods here at the july 22 meeting of the capital planning committee, there was a presentation of the 2019 building code update. the presentation was made by the department of the environment. the presentation stated that the cities current admissions that come from private sector natural gas are 35%. one of the proposals will be to encourage all electric, new construction. the issue of reliability was brought up by a committee member similar issues were brought up at the july 25 meeting of the public safety and neighborhood services committee on overhead wiring. i believe under grounding should be considered with this hearing, and would propose the following priorities. areas adjacent to police and fire stations to protect emergency response. areas adjacent to hospitals for the same reason. areas adjacent to muni routes to protect transit services. areas adjacent to schools to protect students. areas adjacent to commercial corridors to increase their competitiveness with online retail. finally, at the public safety committee hearing, pg&e stated that

i got to see him on the capital planning committee or back in the day, s.f. stat. he is genuinely curious and caring about all functions of government. and so we have been on a journey together and our relationship will continue well beyond your last day here when you officially become a vocal park advocate, but it was important to me to say thank you, not just for being an incredibly carrying , thoughtful human being , but as a supervisor fewer noted, you are the only colleague that i have ever worked with in city government to actually makes me look well-dressed and tailored.

as a returning chairman of the finance committee, i thank the u.s. capital historical society for its very important work to educate and inform the american public. there is very much an iowa connection with the u.s. capitol historical society. your organization was founded by iowa congressman fred twinkle, who at the time i came here, was a retired congressman, but still head of this association. like him, i'm a big fan of history and our system of self-government. fred recognized the importance of an informed public citizenry. a defining moment for the future congressman from iowa's first district took place two decades before he was elected to the u.s. house of representatives. his blooming interest in history, particularly the life of abraham lincoln, and he was considered a good scholar of abraham lincoln, was surmounted by none other than harry truman, at that time, not president harry truman. after delivering his speech in 1934, the future president learned about this iowa republican's interest in history. when introduced, truman grabbed the lapels of

the capital problem. you have two committees that will sit down with mueller and the judiciary committee, each of them had been planned to do it for four hours. the judiciary committee was upset because they had for members. they decided to delay a week standard -- extended to three hours. 60 lawmakers asking questions in that time. the extended time, it is conceivable. if they are rigid about time restrictions, and there are a lot of reasons why, if mueller goes on long, he is not known for his verbosity. you could see a problem of running against the clock. >> you mentioned the carefulness with which lawmakers have been trying to approach this and limit it. goes, are there any plans for lawmakers to be hearing from either mueller or his deputies? kyle: there was an initial plan to hear from mueller deputies while he was speaking in public. those plans have been shelved. the justice department made clear they didn't want mueller deputies appearing before congress. that may be subject to further fighting between congress and the executive branch later. gets the public portion and they will see what they g
