general plan and this is one of the housing elements and the design elements and general plan elements have a visionary policy zero. so i wanted to distinguish that from 9 code the planning code and it is more liquor a law and the jeopardy plan policies, however, are policies that are giving directions in terms of our decisions and projects whether it's private or public their usual found in terms of the balance conformity of the general plan this represents the open space element we found it champing to maintain the distinction between the policies and the detailed actions and programs and regulatory departments. that led us to make sure move forward conforms we wanted to move forward with this project. a lot of times in this process and but each time we clungd this brings love value to the general plan of the city and in particular in terms of our policies and vision around open space. so quickly why we should update this element. the last open space element was adapted in 1986 and there were a lot of plans and priority in that document that is already implemented like preserving the

there are others here today who have been saved at the general. falling down a flight of stairs and falling open a marble door at the symphony and being hit simply going to diner or simply crossing the street in downtown san francisco. our firefighters, our police who protect us daily are taken there. children from broken homes abuse of homes are taken there. friends, cousins or simply strangers who might be homes all are served at the general. i am very grateful for san francisco general. other who told me their personal stories are very grateful as well. my goal is for everyone i mean everyone in this community to be as grateful as i am. don't wait for that accident to happen the plane crashed or the earthquake. be grateful we have this our county hospital with invaluable services on a daily basis 24/7. and i mean 24/7. the general has already been prepared to meet the needs of our city when we need it the most soon with an outstanding general facility it will match it's clinical obsolescence. this place is a hard adversity a safety net to the co

so the general fund number is 3.9 billion we we don't have a choice how to spend the revenue. so >> to be clear the san francisco voters and we've established the policies where we're going to spend it. >> for the departments to have a slice of property tax and the discretionary revenue with the library they do really, really well in times like this. >> so did variance on the overall variance is 40.5 so i assume it's basically as we kind of go down the list there's what is it 8 flap has we don't have any say over what happens to that. >> exactly and the biggest part is the realignment revenue so the kuvents give us money and we don't have a choice to spend it. >> and again so the summary of this one slide is based on the 40.5 of aggregate discretionary 2 and a half of that is taken off. >> yes, so kind of in the revenue departments we're talking about the human services agencies their surplus coming from big savings in salary and aid payments. and also with the department of public health some revenue particularly the hospitals and some savings there as well coming in us. one

we are the generation that changed everything. ours is the one that made the biggest impression on ourselves. [laughter] but that is an important accomplishment because we are the generation that created our self from the darkness of the self and said it let there be self. [laughter] if he were born between 1946 and 1964 you may have noticed this yourself. that isn't to say that we are a selfish generation. that means to concerned with one's self. it isn't something we are just concerned with. we were like our parents and now the personal is the political head the socio-economic and religious and secular. if the baby boom has done one thing is to get a personal universe, and our apologies to anyone. it's kind of like you give a man a fish for a day and if he turns into a dry fly with a 3-pound test line his life partner is glad to have him out of the house. [laughter] so here we are in the cosmos formed in our image tailored to our individual needs and to be fresh and lawful and we saw that it was good or pretty good. we should hav

i'm curious, it shows that it goes to the general fund. why doesn't it go directly to the attorneys office? why does it go into general fund? >> the city attorneys office is budgeted in the side of the general fund. four council that is dedicated to enterprise just like a work order like electricity rates and water rates. any internal billings like this are done through that work order process. the general government purpose of the city attorneys means that for budgeting the general city general fund budget includes that department. >> and is that an hourly, is it billed hourly? >> and while the numbers are very large, we now run a billion dollar utility. so in the connect of that we are the largest bond council program as well that we have a lot of heavy lifting and technical items that almost all of them are somehow legal because of rates and the california constitution, prop 218 or otherwise capital projects. >> it's hard to direct a page number because there aren't any. so it's the external affairs. i'm asking because there must be a re

the greatest generation. we got dragged under the bow and we wound up a little bit soggy as financial advisors with tongue studs. [laughter] >> trying to start tea party protest, we are forgiven. >> the senior class was really on the vanguard. and by the time the freshman class came along, i think i am the youngest of four and i watched my three older siblings do all of these things and it scared me witless. and i did none of those things. so it's as if i grew up in the 50s. >> the younger baby boomers are more cautious. and they embrace sex, drugs, and rock and roll. >> who wouldn't. [laughter] to but you seen us in action. the older boomers in action. what works in general doesn't always work well when you set fire to the beanbag chair. [laughter] >> so kind of gets better behaved as we go along. >> one delightful aspect of the book is that you start by describing a very early memory near toledo, ohio. >> that is where i'm from. >> you're watching the world to her brand-new family friends house. >> yes, i'm

tavis: what is of value in comparing and contrasting the baby boom generation with the greatest generation>> there is the perception out there, the archie bunker perception, that the two generations fought like cats and dogs. it is not really true. the greatest generation came through some stuff that we could not even imagine, the depression and world war ii. all they wanted after that was a breather and a quiet life and they got us. ourthing with us is that parents felt a lot of anger and disappointment in the economic establishment, the political establishment. off to war and before that they were broke. we acted on those feelings. when someone does something that you want to do because you do , youuite have it together are a little afraid and they are actually doing it, it makes you mad. tavis: let me ask you point blank whether or not the baby boom has lived up to its .xpectations has the baby boom lived up to its expectations? not., it has the biggest fact that i ran into in the book was that we were $10,000 richer, not average, median family income. we grew up in the world $10,000 ri

the general manager and i have been in conversations about that. and it's a difficult issue given that we are not doing the budget in a way that gets us down into the weeds plus what's being asked for. god forbid we shouldn't be doing that we don't have the expertise to make the appropriate judgements at that level but we need to ensured against the tendency for organizations to grow over time. someone asked for something to be done and we need the positions to do the work. the part that didn't happen we don't have to do anywhere are the things we can do smarter and better ray and those things don't come in the as a way. so the question is how do you responsibly exercise the judgment and that's for the general manager to do. we have a role in that as well. and i think we need to know, you know, for those items that come up we need to get them scrutinized. there needs to be a good presumption you know where there were many needs i need to find old needs to go away. the presumption is an important presumption that allows staff and management to make t

but the expenses of the general fund are still out scriping the revenues of the general fund and the mayor's proposed public instructions to the general departments included reductions in spending >> right. >> but, what you are showing us in the general fund was because they do it every two years and are they, and is this something that was there forecast for the 14, 15 was done in 2012 or an updated one? >> it is actually updated. currently only the enterprise department and so the report, puc and the airport we are the only one on a fixed two year budget and while the other city and general fund departments do prepare two-year budgets they are on a rolling cycle and so they actually did do a budget update in 2013, 14, and so in that. 13, 14, budget, they made projections for 14, 15 that now, are appearing to be they are having to reconcile for that. and ask for additional cuts, for next year's budget. >> right. >> so it is said a different way and you may recall that when we had our second year of twot-year budget, and the fiscal year we were allowed to make changes up to 4 percent

and the generation before it and the generation before that enjoyed joining me now for more on this internets conversations the great minds are. co-founder of the campaign for america's future our future dot org and richard esko senior fellow at the campaign for america's future robert richer thank you both for joining us pleasure to be here let me let me start with you robert thank you richard there's an old saying that. has been attributed to various folks that when the last man who remembers the horrors of the last great war dies the next great war becomes inevitable because you know we remember the glory but not and and there's this generational change that's happening right now you know the boomers are. within twenty or thirty years of stepping off stage and the millennial don't have any recollection of a country where people were not afraid to start their own businesses people people didn't worry about whether or not they would get sick because health insurance was thirty bucks a month and what was the big deal and anybody could get a job and you could go to colle

so there are ways to measure the water how fast computer models can predict damage. i don't see park merced generate models do they really care. those trees held everything in police radios in 2003 they make sure all the dead trees were taken out if you care about park merced i've this is something we should preserve there is one in la beware and you can anchor those trees and protect them and make them a part of our lives those are part of our lives those trees serve as co2 because their hundreds of cars passing by and the noise is blocked by those trees. the pollution is coming into our homes and entering our windows and this effects us makes us ill there's allergies and other congestion problems. there are recently mudslides in san francisco and it is explained by the computer studies that the process could quadruple so here we're going to have a huge amount of water and it's more expensive and make sure this land remains stable. it's a mess and it will create more of a mess than if you had in and out cut them down >> do you care to is it your testimony today. jane >> any other any public comment

we're at the beginning of the stiejz through the leadership of the general manager of identifying where we have key position clarifications from engineers to accountants and everything in between of where we're likely to have need in the next 5 to 10 years. this will help to put the framework to develop curriculums and skills and knowledge and abilities so folks will know who 20 and just starting their career or mid career like myself to know what to focus on to make sure we're prepared for tomorrow. to put this into prospective through our leadership we've invested $5 billion in the wastewater program and about $7 billion in the next 10 year capital program. we're asking you to consider is to do the same attach investment seed money for the human capital side for the folks who are running the $5 billion of water system improvements. that's what you see on slide 22 in charge the university preparedness. we have a lot more work and the general manager wants to study this is a place holder but existing. other adjustment is minor. some more drivers enhancement but primarily sf puc universi

the phase. we are also asking for general fund for other projects. it goes to the media and information technology and goes to a lot of city leaders who evaluate and make recommendations to the mayor and controllers office on what kinds of it projects to fund. we ask from funding to review and plan for modernization and digitization to allow us to be able to get a new phone system to have greater ability to answer all the calls that are coming in and we wouldn't be dropping as many calls during the periods of time when it's open enrollment or when we send out letters and we get this huge amount of calls and we have to balance our call volume by people that don't normally deal with these things. there is a lot of capability that we need to get and will also allow to do a lot more monitoring of our call volume and reporting. in the past we asked for funding to actually do this project from beginning to end and we weren't successful. they like the idea but they didn't want to give us all that money. now we are asking for i believe $50,000 to do the plann

however, if i can be bold to make one final appeal everyone at the general sees the difference your helpan each and every one of you to consider making a donation the cards are at your plate. dig deep we need money and help (laughter) please do what you can i thank you and my colleagues thank you and most importantly the patient and families of the folks at general thank you. please give our cards to the host or connect with a volunteer to make a credit cardgentlemen. ladies and gentlemen, to present the next hero award at the afternoon please welcome jim from chevron energy solutions (clapping) >> great, thank you happy valentine's day. i'm both delighted and honored to be here today representing chevron and our over 6 thousand chevron employees that call san francisco and the bay area their home. as a san franciscan myself i know what a critical role we play and am proud of our programs. i'm especially grifrtd to have with us today at our table 3 representatives of the perry program that aspires women who want to get careers in engineering and have touched over 15 young women. the fich

the european general said those americans of the civil war. we find proper wars. and if not this time and time again. i think there is a genuine unwillingness. you also got another phenomenon and that is a younger generation in 1800, in germany, for example, who were so tired of hearing we would like our own adventure. in britain, the younger generations say with a stat on all this glorious wars. it's very easy to see war as glorious and you have it. they. >> you do get a sense dismissing visit aureus concept. >> yes. not everyone redid it with excitement. there was a lot of dismay would work out. we now have a chance to prove ourselves in ways we haven't had up until now. i down back to >> thank you. i am alice in silver, executive editor of the opinion that reuters. and i have a question. you both have been talking about how there was this say to you and a happy little war that they had asked. war in this kind of weight before. also, you were talking about the allies, about the lesser allies have been some sort of control. i was wondering if there's any compariso

the phase. we are also asking for general fund for other projects. it goes to the media and information technology and goes to a lot of city leaders who evaluate and make recommendations to the mayor and controllers office on what kinds of it projects to fund. we ask from funding to review and plan for

generation x, y. or millennial. >> millennials, the lost generation was cool. >> the greatest generation works, too. >> greatest generation is not bad. >> why not baby boomers. >> it's just an explode in infant, sounds like. who wants to be called that all their life. >> i want to ask you about a couple of things in the news these days. chris christie, what do you think is going to happen? >> i think it's a slow newsweek is what i think it was. it was, we were talking about this before we went on camera. the story just goes on and on and on and like of course here in new york, you're like george washington bridge traffic jam, oh, my gosh. >> every day. >> what are they thinking in ohio. the news tonight is there are traffic jams in new jersey. >> it will be interesting to see how it's playing. >> it shows, i think, the interesting part of the story is somebody is really scared of chris christie in 2016 and looking for scandal. if they think bridge traffic jams have legion that are going to last until 2016, thief got another think coming. >> one final one given that we're talking about baby boomers and

so those are the proposals and quickly the general manager operating budget is flat from temporary funding and staff time but otherwise in keeping with the flat budget that's the small change there. we noted we had some rearrangements and the records management function has been moved over to business fupgz and out of the general manager office. it's the general manager budget if you have any questions, i'll be happy to answer them before i recap on the 10 year capital plan had he major plan >> commissioner caen. >> going to fleet management operations page 11 and a okay. >> just have a couple of questions. are we still required to use the city shop so far repairs at a higher cost >> we do many of those currently some on our own and some through central shops and periodically have looked at that. right now we have about 15 hundred and 66 vehicles we maintain and don't have the capacity to do it ourself. it's a continuous relook and balancing that makes sense for us to do it. we have a benefit if central shops where we have an additional fueling sources in addition to our tanks. >> that's t

generation. standing on sth stoulders of giants, the hope is the current generation also bequeevs to the succeeding generation a renewed sense of what is possible. the willingness to continue to dream of possibilities in america and there are a number of folks that are here. some had to leave earlier, but i want to acknowledge lily waung [inaudible] lieuesea [inaudible] michele coon. [inaudible] davis. mad lm putnam. [inaudible] beezly. mason von. rox ana sal zar. [inaudible] bird. david mckinley. there is much to be thankful for in terms of the next generation of poet [inaudible] who will follow us and hope that despite all evidence to the contrary the succeeding generation is willing to embrace the emplausible and pursue the impossible and imagine the impossible. i want to make sure that i acknowledged my wife, sherry who among other things probably got me every job i ever held in the last 25 years. i thank you for most married couples there is vested interest in getting your husband out of the house otherwise he is hanging around doing god knows what. also, my wife taught me a great deal about w

in 2000 there was 1.5 million supplemental from the general fund reserve for art organizations and a $3 million allocation for nonprofits with 500,000 for rent subsidies. and i'm just wondering why there's no mention about the arts organizations, california lawyers for the arts, 500 million, and $500,000 of the 3 million for the rent subsidies. why is there no information on that? >> well, in terms of the $500,000 to the rental subsidy n 5,000, before i joined the department. but in terms of examining the use of that fund, as far as i can determine, our department decided to not go forward with the $500,000 for the rental subsidy program. first, i don't know the reason for that, if it was determined that it wasn't going to be as useful as the acquisition and rehab dollars, but it doesn't appeal if that particular program -- that was for all nonprofits. hob honest, the 2.5 for rehabing the section was fully expended. the art commission, as far as i can determine, that was before the current commission was in place. it looks as if perhaps up to $500,000 was allocated in one-time grants

so, although, we would like to not be in a position with the general fund balance, i fully anticipate we are a whole. any questions? >> it's sometimes best not to disclose your strategy, but thank you for the information. >> you don't have my full strategy. believe me. all departments do exactly what i'm talking about doing, but it all has to do with timing. >> thank you. >> thank you. any public comment on this item? >> r ccsf, what i wanted to bring up was when we were also discussing the budget it's really engaging that rose felt nthal the controller has had meetings in the past with a number of us with regard to the financial situation at health service. i think he gained a bit of knowledge about that and i think it would be good to actively engage him and get him to better understand what we are dealing with. i'm stunned at the balance on our trust fund, but the fact that we are in a new age where we really, as long as we are doing flex funding and we are looking at things being self insured that we really need those assets and there is no question so the city shouldn't look at t

the erosion is a progress by the earth getting worn down and generally caused by water. the key to erosion and ice tends to flow from one place to another of the 3 liquid waters it's the common erosion. this must be assaulted it creates dangerous mudslides and causes rock slides long-term. so short-term rock slides. so there are ways to measure the water how fast computer models can predict damage. i don't see park merced generate models do they really care. those trees held everything in police radios in 2003 they make sure all the dead trees were taken out if you care about park merced i've this is something we should preserve there is one in la beware and you can anchor those trees and protect them and make them a part of our lives those are part of our lives those trees serve as co2 because their hundreds of cars passing by and the noise is blocked by those trees. the pollution is coming into our homes and entering our windows and this effects us makes us ill there's allergies and other congestion problems. there are recently mudslides in san francisco and it is expla

manager in partnership with the general manager of the utensil in washington, d.c. so this is work we embarked on that our general manager gave you an update in october we are going bringing information to lift up and have a common message around the need for water and a wastewater in washington, d.c. finally, has we look at continuing to implementing the benefit we're requesting a new partnership a immigration initiative. they asked us to help with diverse community on reversing african-american out migration. as you heard in the comment around the decreasing numbers of african-american in san francisco this has been a priority for the mayor's office and he's asked us to partner with him especially in bayview hunters point. they represent a $800,000 increase this is automatic adjustments. there's no additional f y 15 and 16 and no new position requests. and with that, i'm happy to answer any questions >> commissioner caen. >> i have a question actually, it's not in the handout but if the original data. it's slow down 11 under fleet management and o

however, we do recommend that you amend the proposed ordinance to place all of the 2,515,000 general reserve, [speaker not understood], for the board of supervisors to enable that group to provide more specific [speaker not understood] on how such funds would be allocated. we would be happy to respond to any questions. >> thank you, mr. rose. colleagues, any questions for mr. rose at this time? he okay, much appreciated. at this point we'll open up to public comment. is there anybody who wishes to comment on item number 4? if there's more than one, please line up against the side wall there and we'll take everyone up one at a time. everyone will have two minutes. thanks. >>> good afternoon, bill hirsch with the [speaker not understood] floor panel. good afternoon to supervisors chiu and kim for your leadership on this issue. i want to speak in support of the proposal. i think it's a modest amount of money. i am feeling the pressure of rent increases immediately. our rent is about to double on march 1st. so, anything that you can do to get this money out there to the nonprofits sooner

the next one is implementing the strategic wellness plan and this is to go to the general fund. we are at somewhat off. it syncs because we have to put our charter mandate before february 21st. you are going to hear the wellness plan and march. we've heard from the other response aureus -- response

potential for consideration for an amendment or amendment of the whole recognizing and delegating to the general manager the authority to update this plan to be consistent with the board of supervisors approved general obligation bonds for earthquake safety. that item is before the board today as well. we didn't have a final number. that's related to the auxiliary water smie system that is general obligation bond funding. >> item of that is in the file? >> item no. 12. it's the 10-year capital plan. and in front of you -- >> i would be glad to move the amended item with the same caveat that in terms of dealing with the 265 program. >> okay. if that's clear, it's been moved, is there a second. >> second. >> it's been moved and seconded. is there any additional public comment? seeing none, public comment is closed. all in favor say, "aye". >> aye. >> opposed? the ayes have it. the motion carries. the next item, madam secretary read it item 13. motion to calendar public hearings on april 22nd #shgs 2014 and may 13 #shgs 2014 to consider the adoption of retail water and sewer rates on may 13 #shgs 2

controls the attorney general. once confirmed the attorney general cannot be fired by the governor. that's because it is such a apowerful position. >> so let me ask your judgment. the case where the guy was in there and quashes the local indictments and goes out and fires the local prosecutors for apparently going after some local allies of the governor, you say that wouldn't show the influence or the friendship with the governor? >> listen, most of the attorney generals that i knew in new jersey were really effective and honorable people. there are honest people appointed by the governor of new jersey going back to brendan burn, jim florio, absolutely. in the hunterton county case i don't know the facts about that except that the attorney general took over the operation of the entire office. you can only do that with the consent of the governor. then she fired assistance. this is from the "new york times" story in the fall -- the attorney general can supersede a prosecutor on any particular case. so puzzling to me

no where do we hear the designers are going to minimize property damages that's mandatory the general plan was enacted before the project we don't go back and use 2006 kwaerthd standards they have to apply to current standards. the design basis for this site permit was submitted after the adaptation of the community element the community safety element with all due respect to those who have spoken those are the mandatory requirement for this project. we've talked about the a b-3 there are 3 steps to the analysis they each correspond to the project we have the minimal and maximum. there has to be a selection by the design team. contrary to the speakers the building code doesn't a cat which design team is to be coordinated. it's not fixed. the minimum standards are noting not mandatory standards but minimum standards what we see in the caps practice writing program is that san francisco is moving away from the minimum standards and a b.a. likewise this to go forward to the standard code. we have to go outside the code t it has an escape pass we use the a b-83 in san francisco. a b-83 it

i understand there are conversation going on at the moment one on general fund rate. i would encourage they continue before this budget cycle is complete. that we have a plan that we can vote on. >> commissioner vietor? >> one thing to bring the elephant in the room and that hasn't been mentioned for the ia and it was one of the promises and the hopes that i had with clean power type program that we would be building a customer base and putting that aside and not looking as a residential base. the rest of the conversation has been a commercial base and going as part of the ia negotiation to generate the revenue to help with our fiscal cliff. i also had discomfort with how to hetch hetchy plan was laid out because the understanding that takes negotiation and identification and without a sense of what those real opportunities are and whether we can bring them online, it seems i am prudent to be adopting some kind of a hetch hetchy plan without that component for revenue in addition to the pieces listed and identified already. >> so we are looking at customers. it's just
