the bathroom facilities need a face lift. there are few stal doors on the interior of the restrooms, making it unfriendly. no changing tables for kids and there's no other amenities at the facility like children's play areas, picnic tables, barbecue pits and such. next? so the proposed benefits for this project as mentioned previous reply by another presenter, we anticipate we're going to triple the amount of play time at the facility with this project. currently we have 4,700 hours of play. we at this. being north of 14,000 once this is rhone vated. we're going to provide a family friendly facility and provide more field time on the northwest side of the city for children and adults playing sports. proposed improvements, obviously the core of president project is synthetic turf and life. we are proposing to add spectator benches and seating for all four fields, a children's plaza and play area around the structure, we're going to renovate the restroom, create safe walkways to and through the site and create new picnic and bar

emphasizes the role of recreational facilities. time, it emphasizes that the naturalistic landscapes should be protected and renewed within the bounds of its character. it also states that vehicle traffic should be minimized. finally, the primary function of the part is to serve the recreational needs of all san franciscans. the implications include that the proposed improvements really trouble the recreational capacity of the field within its existing footprint. the synthetic turf lighting do represent a change in the nationalistic character of the field. the ceqa findings, the environmental review highlights that conflict here finally, within the western shore line, the western shore line offers conflicting policy direction as well for facilities such as the soccer fields. it states that we should improve the western end of the park for public recreation. it is currently considered to be underutilized and is deserving of improvement. it similarly emphasizes the naturalistic landscapes qualities at the same time encouraging increas

facilities. my colleague, mr. turner suggested that the d.o.d. corps of engineers have expertise building these facilities. in fact, they don't have expertise in that. this building is a one-of-a-kind nuclear facility. ar army corps of engineers, this particular sect of it builds office and medical and housing facilities. it doesn't build one of a kind nuclear facilities. in addition to that, we're taking away the focus where d.o.d. is building and may take away some major projects the d.o.d. has to build. the united states army corps of engineers may not have a better records than the nnsa construction track record. for example the lock and dam that began as a $745 million project is now more than a $3 billion project. again, their expertise does not lie in this one-of-a-kind nuclear facility. but what this really brings to a head is this whole issue of civilian control over nuclear weapons facilities. i believe that's an important distinction, we should have concerns that the d.o.d. has even more of a hand on our nuclear facilities. i think that

it will have state of the art facilities. finally, [unintelligible] delong -- delayed a long time ago. please support this today. thank you. >> i was very pleased to see the details of the development agreement and the progress that was made since we were last here talking about this project. i noted with some satisfaction they had addressed the issue of mental health care. i know some doctors, that was of concern and it is worth listening to doctors when it is an issue of health care. they had come to an agreement that was satisfying on the issue of health care. we're in negotiations, arbitration and mediation with the city and that is one of the issues which we are mediating and arbitrating. it is not coincidental we have seen some movement from the the sears -- has been noted the biggest construction project in -- on the near horizon. you know what that means. the means to the city -- what that means to the city. we ask you to vote yesterday. thank you. >> that afternoon, commissioners. -- good afternoon, commissioners. we

the red sheep relate his safety of the facility. i am a hardening in terms of ballistic projection. -- protection. that is the lion's share. an item that we have to be realistic about. the location that could be a target for bad behavior. it could be expensive. dtw affected a great job in the alternatives to get to a certain ballistic level that is set up to national standards. we have some standards to meet to -- that drove the kind of kevlar but the other biggest item was mechanical equipment, induction, and the protection of that here, we need to be sure that the air flow was protected and i appreciate that. and in the future i hope we can expand of what the substation is a about -- could read occasionally have desk times? office times to be there for the community balance of neighborhoods could know how to be stronger and safer? public safety as well, for other uses that are a benefit to the community, on top of having police officers in an increased police presence. supervisor chu: thank you. mr. goldberg, can i ask -- is there

and one of them is the safety and security of the facility. tment or the individuals involved. what was the reason for them to use safety and security of the facility? >> there was concern because you recently were found in possession of a cell phone. >> actually, i wasn't found in possession of a cell phone. i was found in possession of a cell phone charger. and i gave the cell phone to them after they shook me down and didn't find the cell phone. i brought the cell phone to them. >> but you were found guilty of possession of a cell phone. >> i pleaded guilty. >> first of all, you understand that if this marriage is approved, it will be a non-contact marriage? >> yes. >> and that you and/or your intended spouse will have to bare all costs associated with the marriage. what i will do is i will approve your request to be married. and your intended spouse will be informed by the marriage coordinator at the facility, who is chaplain rogers. >> i'm really excited about getting married and all. it's going to happen on the 23rd. like i said, she's a

the golden state warriors. to build yet another large facility on the waterfront. i look forward to that debate when it comes forward. finally, i wanted to say that the san francisco green party stands united in opposopposing s project. [chime] president chiu: next speaker. >> hi, my name is hiroko, i have a resident in san francisco and i have been an active member of golden gate way tennis club since 2007. i use the facility three or four times a week. using the facility regularly has become a very important part of my life. when changing jobs in 2007, i specifically chose san francisco home so that i can maintain my life in the city, were privately without owning a car. i believe there are many members that like to maintain their work just because of having the club where it is. consider that this kind of project may push people like me to move away from the city of san francisco. on a less personal level, i believe having a high-rise condominium will disturb the view of the area, especially the view of the day that is one of the most important landmarks in the

we need the facilities for the future and safety of all of our citizens and we need seismically up-to-date medical facilities. thank you very much and i encourage you to support this project. president fong: ok, elsie, javier, anna, robert. if i have called your name, come on up. maggie, nancy, don, april. hang on. one second. we have like 100 left. commissioner moore: they are not going to go away. we need a break, i think. president fong: hold your thought. i appreciate it. we will take a 5-10 minute >> the planning commission is back in session. if i could have everyone's attention for just a moment. i am going to remind everyone to silence or turn off your cell phones because i know all of them -- all of you were on them during the break. also, we are still in public comment. we still have all of you and i believe there are a few more people downstairs who i would encourage to come upstairs at this point. we still have over one hour of public comment. then there has to be commissioned deliberation. for every one that can hear me that is here for the four- o'clock calendar, please note

however, putting all of the carrot in one facility does not make sense -- all of the care in one facility does not make sense. actually, i know the doctors said -- if you look at the days we have plenty of patiencts, sometimes you're holding patients in icu. they are waiting in the emergency room. this is not going to go away because you build a brand-new hospital. we still need the beds to take care of these patients. we do need a new hospital. however, it needs to be an appropriate size to service the community that we are in charge of. that is all the way south of market. a great deal of the city. i just think they're being left behind. it is wonderful to have a state of the art facility at cathedral hill. if you fix all of the eir problems. we still need to look at st. luke's a little bit closer. thank you. [applause] president fong: any other names i have called? >> i am with the organization power. our organization make sure that san francisco had a very strong local hiring mandate. this product is only protecting a 5% increase in job growth. cpmc is one of the largest private emplo

the second it in the recreation facilities portion of the of the master plan. it recognizes that this facility is heavily used, has maintenance problems is -- and is a recognized recreation facility in the infrastructure. then the last two sections point to two specific plan areas that are for the west end of the park. one is the west end plan. the other is the richmond-sunset treatment facility plan. both talk to each other in that section. the west end plan briefly reflects itself back to the other plan but essentially what it's saying is that the west end doesn't have the activity it should. we need to bring more positive activity to the west end and activate that space. the master plan considers adding a fifth soccer pitch where the treatment facility used to be. it also recognized that a 30 to 40-car parking lot should be added at that area. it contemplates the addition of a 2,500 square foot pavilion which would be a community space, a place for roller skating, bike rentals -- those are all great and we think that our project dovetails with that goal. obvi

the potential move, does it impact the budget in any way? >> de se facilities commission voted recently to reprogram the space, and the result of that would be they no longer have space at the facility. we currently have 11,000 square feet and we're able to deliver the full range of employment. with also do job fairs, it is predominately our families. once we are formally convicted, we do want to find alternative space in the bayview. one-third or more of our clients are closer to 38%, the presence we have had out there has proved really effective in engaging that community. we're currently working with the department of real estate and looking for space to purchase a out there. we don't know what the timing is, we imagine that it might take awhile. as soon as we secure something, we will move rather than getting

but the facility is specifically there and the reason it was created was to provide the science necessary to understand whether nuclear weapons were safe, secure and reliable. so in one part of the bill we say you have to do all of these things. another part of the bill says you can't use 50% of the money that was allocated for that purpose. exactly what is going on here is presidential politics and some really bad policy development. that's what has happened. you want to take a shot at the president over the start treaty and tell the whole world we are not safe because because because 46 pages of requirements tying them in knots nine ways to sunday and in the same very bill by the same subcommittee you take away 50% of the money necessary to do the job to find out if it is safe, reliable and secure. doesn't make good public policy. and we seem to have fallen into a swamp of presidential politics here. unfortunately we should do better. i yield back my time. >> any further discussion on the amendment. chair recognizes ranking member smith from washington five minutes. >> this is unbelieva

atop the building, you really have to zoom in to see the facility. is would be a simple item to bring before you. their rate going forward is a market rate, however there is a bit of a tortured history sought want to give you the history of this agreement. -- the planning department provided general plan conformance at that time. a permit was issued to singular weiler -- singular wireless in september of 2003 to allow the installation of the facility. at that time, there was no lease agreement between the city and cingular. there was also a command change underway at the fire department where the chief was on his way out and that current chief was on her way in, assuming command in january of 2004. in reviewing their real-estate records of the property, we have no evidence of real estate involvement until 2009. this facility was atop the fire station for approximately six years before negotiations commenced. that was outreach to the successor entity because what also happened, not only were the staff changes on going on the city side of this transacti

the future. planning will need to evaluate and make findings of this facility upon renewal. when they renew under article 25. planning might impose additional conditions. we do not know that at this point. moving forward, it is possible. as it relates to the confusion, it appears the letter dated august 25, 2010 refers to one antenna. at some point, between august to january, unchanged from one antenna to to antennas. -- a change from one antenna to two antennas. the second case was also appropriate. that is where the confusion lies. right now, the permits were issued under administrative code. upon renewal, up one falls under article 25, there'll be additional reviews from the plant -- from the planning department given that it is in a residential zone. unless they change equipment, the health department has reviewed and determined that it is correct and appropriate. it has satisfied the fcc regulations. the department will go back and verify the height given the concerns of the appellant. that the appellant has expressed concerns of people hitting it by jumping. we will try

during the application, this is on the overhead that shows you the approximately view of that facility which appears to match what is installed. while we empathize, and the requirement was passed by the government that the wireless facilities have their right to place it in the public right of way and it of what he's the city to process the variety of permits. >> are there two antennas? >> that is correct. two facing two directions in one housing. as you can see on top. >> they look sleeker, they seem to be closer together than what has actually been built. >> or one of the issues is how the bracket amounts are set up through the installation process. it would be best to explain why it would be, necessarily, tighter. we have tried to match the shade of the utility bullhead. excuse me. there were comments related to the notification on the poles. in our brief, the notification was for utility workers that will be on the pole in close proximity to the antenna. this is part of the requirement for possible exposure to people working in very close proximity to these facilities so that they

dang, that happened fast. >> randy and others at the facility try to extinguish the flames, but it's no use. >> i got scared. i didn't know what was going to happen. >> in less than a minute, another tank unleashes a fireball. randy's clothes ignite. >> when the second fireball hit me, threw me back maybe six, eight feet. i'm watching the flames kind of flicker up out of my shorts. >> one tank of compressed gas after another begins to explode. >> explosions were going over the top of the building. every time one of those would explode, you know, way up high over the top of the building, the heat radiant off there would just light me up. >> incredibly, randy and the three other people at the facility are all able to get out before the entire place erupts into an inferno. minutes later, dallas fire rescue arrives. >> once we got there, we weren't sure exactly what was going on or why it was happening but we knew that we had a big problem with a lot of air cylinders. >> randy and a colleague are rushed to the hospital with multiple third-degree burns. >> i was just all big bubbles every

our former datacenter -- we look at ways to properly renovate and upgrade the facility there. from a cost perspective, it was not a benefit to the city, and we did not think it was a very use of the city's taxpayers funds, so we felt that it was best to research a co-location facility in the city, and we're very pleased with our decision to go that route. because one, we did not have to -- we no longer had the responsibility of managing a facility. we could repurchase or repo august that, those efforts that we had with our staff performing those services before -- we could be purpose those folks into other areas of the organization, teaching them a new skill set. we no longer had the burden, frankly, of a facility management. we no longer had to stress our resources in any of the facility-based type of management responsibilities. so that was a clear economic choice for us. our decision to go to an enterprise mail solution was -- there were certainly a long term cost associated with that. but our decision to go to microsoft cloud solution was based on several factors. one of wh

this would allow the military to carry out the construction of the nuclear facility in new mexico. it limits any funds from being spent on an alternative plan that does not include the cmrr. so first and foremost, this amendment disregards the budget control act restriction that led the administration to prioritize and accelerate the uranium production facility at oakridge, tennessee. delaying this project here for at least five years. the assist stand secretary of defense for global affairs testified to our house, strategic forces subcommittee on april 17th, that within the context of the nuclear weapons council, we looked at the program of modernization and the two construction projects and we made a very conscious decision within the context of the weapons council to prioritize the uranium facility at oakridge. with that decision came the decision to defer cmrr for at least five years. so that we could focus on the uranium processing facility, which for dod was the higher priority. so this amendment would take scarce resources away from priorities for nuclear weapons including do

i support this project because this project will become a state-of-the-art facility. i can provide san franciscans with some of the best health care available. -- that can provide san franciscans with some of the best health care available. in the short term, this project will bring billions into the local economy. many small businesses, local workforce, and families will benefit from the building of cpmc and benefit in the future care that cpmc can provide. unless your entire family, and anti workers, there are not any reasons for you not to support this project. i urge all of you to about -- vote yes for this project. >> i called your name? ok. >> good afternoon, president fong. i am -- lived in the tenderloin for 10 years. i am a member of the [unintelligible] community association. i am here to let you know we want a hospital that will address the health care needs of our community. tenderloin residents need greater care needs. tenderloin residents need greater access to quality health care. cpmc messed -- must accept more medicare and medicaid patients. they can p

location center, that is already outfitted with all the heating and air-conditioning and cooling facility that we need -- power, electricity. after weighing the costs of such, it was an easy choice and the most cost-effective choice to seek out the services of a co location site for the city and county primary data center. our former datacenter -- we look at ways to properly renovate and upgrade the facility there. from a cost perspective, it was not a benefit to the city, and we did not think it was a very use of the city's taxpayers funds, so we felt that it was best to research a co-location facility in the city, and we're very pleased with our decision to go that route. because one, we did not have to -- we no longer had the responsibility of managing a facility. we could repurchase or repo august that, those efforts that we had with our staff performing those services before -- we could be purpose those folks into other areas of the organization, teaching them a new skill set. we no longer had the burden, frankly, of a facility management. we no longer had to stress our resources in

at the completion of this facility, it must be tested. he conditions cannot be satisfied, there for the permit becomes invalid. we would have to revoke it at that point. conditional approval, like many of the building permits have conditional approval from planning that must be satisfied before being completed. the second point from the appellant was that it does not meet the tier 3 necessity. i believe textg's representative has demonstrated there is a necessity. one thing was related to a battery powered back up. it is the department's position, when we discussed it with the attorney to, that the battery back up is part of any wireless the lifting, permitting requirements. anything that is necessary for this wireless permit, it must be shown and identified. finally, the comment was that the wireless permit does not meet the 23 evaluation from planning. again, as stated by others, planning had made tentative approval of this facility back in august 2011. this was provided in an exhibit from nextg networks, and provided by the appellant, m

campus neighborhoods surrounding will benefit from the new facilities. all the while, cpmc has promised to continue providing exceptional health care to all its patients. the construction of these projects are critical because they will benefit the work force, families, the local economy, and our future generations to come. voting yes assures people will have jobs and a safe place to go when they are in need of medical care. i thank you for your time and i ask that you please vote yes today. thank you. president fong: thank you. >> thank you, president long and commissioners, for the opportunity to speak with you again today. my name is michael and i am the executive director of compassionate care. we are a hospice that has been in said for cisco and has served more than 1000 san franciscans. the reason we are supportive of the cpmc expansion, i have heard a lot of people talk about the lack of charity care that cpmc is providing that they feel is inadequate. i have no idea how those figures are calculated but i can tell you that my team would not have pr

it permits occupancy of the facility by the police department. we anticipate that scheduled to result in a summer occupancy. there is flexibility built into it so that we can occupy immediately upon availability. as bill mentioned, we are joined by a host of folks to address these questions. supervisor chu: thank you very much. why do we not go to the budget analyst report? >> madam chair, page 5 of the report, as mr. updike indicated, the proposed amended lease of a monthly base rent of 1449, a 15% reduction would be for the first three years. it was negotiated with the landlord because the city's general fund will now be paying for 775,000 tenant improvements for the police substation. as shown in table 2 on page 6 of our report, the total paid by the city on the sixth street house llc over the nine year term of the least is added to the options of exercise that were up to $297,000. we stayed -- stated on page 6 that we considered this matter to be a policy matter because the lease now requires $775,000 to be paid by the city's general fund to

the enormous blast is the result of a fuel line leak at the petroleum processing facility. flames shoot more than 100 feet into the air. the shock wave is felt for miles, including at the nearby fire station. >> my first impression was that one of the firefighters here had made driven one of the fire trucks into the building. it shook the building that hard. >> minutes later, the firefighters are at the scene of the blast. >> you could see flames. flames were visible into the refinery and heavy black smoke coming out of the refinery. >> workers at the refinery are able to shut off the hydrogen gas that's fueling the flames, and the fire is brought under control quickly. fortunately, there are no injuries. but the blast is so powerful that more than 100 nearby houses are damaged or destroyed. >> i was just shocked by the damage. the engineer condemned our house a couple hours after the explosion. >> linda wood lives a mile from the refinery. the shock wave is so intense, it makes her home uninhabitable. it's not the first time the processing facility has exploded. >> this is

each day, as many as 100 inmates arrive at the facility. >> your registration, tv registration. affiliated with anybody? >> no. >> all i'm looking forward to is getting to my cell, making my bed, and getting some chow. >> let me see your back real quick. >> the new arrivals have been up all night and know little about this new prison. >> it's brand new. everything we're finding out we're finding out from the guys right here, right now. >> what do i anticipate? nothing. i don't anticipate anything. if i don't expect anything, then there's nothing to either worry about or look forward to, either way. >> this is the first place they see when they come in and this is the last place they see when they leave. we process them, run medical on them, they get their tb shots here, make sure they're not contagious. we take their photos, make sure they don't have any contraband. >> get all three of your boxes and put them in that cart right here. >> i started gang banging. started changing my life. and hopefully i can go home. >> that's what it comes to, that's what it's got to come to. i ant

the facility would consist of up to nine rooftop mounted antenna as by at&t mobility. the site is a preferred location 6 site, as it has a limited preference site within the polk street neighborhood commercial zoning district. i purposely skipped over item five. item number six, for 601 townsend st., a request for office allocation for approximately 70 two thousand 600 square feet on the basement level within the urban mixed use zoning district and 68-x height and bulk district. currently, the subject property is occupied by adobe systems, inc. and received authorization for an office allocation of approximately two under 15,858 square feet on the first, second, and third floors in 1999. any additional comment will automatically remove these from the consent calendar. these items are before you for consideration. president fong: public comment? there are a couple of speaker cards? >> only for item 5. president fong: any public comment on these items other than item 5? >> [inaudible] president fong: which item number? that is number two. any other public comment other th
