extensive updating of our departments core network and cable channel 78 to insure the upgrading of the staff other than that the services include the rent at our state this to the department of real estate and as well as city italy's services that are sponsored by the entire city as mentions earlier we are requesting over 12 ftes in the upcoming budget recycle this shows the new position requests and the new division and like i said we were planning to request the number of positions through the fiscal year we've since decided to include those our budget going forward there's thirty no impact on what we're proposing this is 2, 3, 4 appendix a at the allocation departments counter grants portfolio included 0 total of $8.4 million of grant funding projects in the years and several years to come we're the led agency on many of the project but the mta and dpw receive a significant amount of grants to implement many of the priority projects attachment 3 is a meow memo from our grant writer that talks about our portfolio and many of the grants we've been awarded over the past years last friday we

the staff have put in a lot of time. and if we want to get it finalized for the fall, it requires a fair amount of time. but i also say that we don't have to make decisions today if we determine that we need more time after going through it. but i think it would be useful given who has shown up and the preparation for the meeting, for us to at least address the agenda item. ms. hayon. speaker: it's helpful to me to hear the expert and learn a comment interest those interested parties that has something to add. i liked the letters we received. they were interested and helpful and enlightening and i'd like to hear from the people who are here at least even if we aren't ready to make a decision in these matters. speaker: mr. keane, would that be saepable. speaker: with the chair is saying, i would like to propose a sort of -- split the baby type situation that we're going to look at this as something that's going to be something -- that we go ahead with what we have. and put it on for the next meeting as well for anything fu

. >> yes, i want to thank the staff and for the dialogue. i have a question for the puc. you mentioned some of the readers may have issues understanding the data. what readers are we discussing? you had mention the commission but is that the only readers are you discussing or others we should be considering? >> commissioner, barbara hale assistant manager for power. i am anticipating when we have the joint meetings and presentations and we talk about this and see news articles or trade press on this that these numbers are going to be used and i want to make sure that we get clarity from the whole community, and understanding of what we're really talking about. i think it would be unfortunate for three years down the road for people to be questioning us as to why we didn't get 9,000 jobs in san francisco. well, the report never anticipated 9,000 jobs in san francisco. so it's that clarity i am looking for, and i want to thank your general counsel for putting the context on this, but we're really just talking about how to get the message right because it's going to be used

that's what i have been saying at the staff level because that's what i am referring to. we provided staff level comments on the report and i summarized those on the report to my commission on tuesday. >> okay. great. just sort of moving on are there -- i always talk about going forward. are there plans to bring back kim malcolm now that we have some sort of forward looking documents? >> so kim malcolm took leave. it was at her request. we granted it and it expires on january 31. >> okay great. and then if either ms. malcolm or someone else was engaged or some preliminary weights can be set as -- you know, a suggestion to the commission to the puc that they can start to begin to think how these would compare in these areas for cleanpowersf so that we can just start moving forward. i mean it sounds like the enernex report is a path forward and i want to see we're not stalling things with waiting on a meeting. i think on the staff side creating some of the suggested rates or preliminary rates could be a way that we could move the ball. >> so the enernex report provides good

today feel there you go more hope in the project team and adding the temporary staff seems like the natural solution but the metrics didn't go up. >> part of project team is they've been on board for 2 1/2 months part of it is the size and number of projects keeping it the same that the large projects take an awful lot of time we have to look at the small project and the team is a model for other parts of department specialized teams that specialize on only projects and staff was doing one thing for moreal standpoint was not great but we reinventing that we need to look at the performance awe paralyze the metrics so the metrics are being looked at correctly he appreciate those comments the numbers are not good we looked at them at face value. >> i hear a lot from developers small medium and large the complaint around the boogy think we do spend time talking about the best policies but the bread and butter of the department is getting those through. >> just to add sarah jones we keep referring to the volume of applications we're getty thought it might help to character one exampl

consultant be added back to the mix that's fine i prefer to staff that people read the proposals multiple time and have been through 24 process other consultants multiple times to be the ones to make the recommendations i'll go with staffs recommendations. >> one final question this is directed to staff it goes through not the methodology but the question on there one or questions i'm interested in if we require or ask the question if there firm has women or minority owned members on executive fee what's the make up 6 their firm that's mire own personal value i'm projecting but it reflects part of san francisco's value see it part of the mixtures in the question you're describing to respond to the rfp and i believe we require they disclosure on an e o d c form e e o-1 all levels of both gender as well as ninth. >> is there some kind of a point subscribed to present to the minority or women in positions how does that work. >> as the city attorney. >> commissioners i don't believe there is a or could points awarded for that under state law that's prohibited but the board policy doe

as i said i'm reading from what the staff report the way it would be before the more expansive staff recommendation this about applied to other things it says the market ct to permit the arresting cascades on the first and second floor and instead of other entertainment use so no where does it say it's limited by even though nature of the words themselves tare only speaking to the upper market ct and the rest of the motion calls for staff to study with recommendations to the supervisors to keep the discussion open for other parts of city but that doesn't has nothing to do with to the first parts of motion. >> i believe we have consensus we're only recommending to change to allow the arcades as described in the upper market mc t and the few minutes ago only applies to the mc t. >> commissioner richards it would be great to separate those before we get into the back and forth and not having the recommendation to apply it to citywide that's all. >> please call the question. >> all right. commissioners on that motion commissioner antonini commissioner hillis excuse me. commissioner johnso

will be working on in the two fiscal years the staff level is declining because of the reassignment of specific staff to focus on more high priority projects and continues to look at the backlog applications shifting gears here starting to talk about our volume and budget expenditures the memo talks about some key indicators we review annually in order to inform our budget function the economy is strong with high employment levels and those railroad mentioned the assumptions are underlined in our budget in our current year we projected a one percent title mrangdz with 6 months to date we're experiencing about flat the volume growth but the mix of those applications are for much larger application types so which require a more extensive and timely review those applications require a much higher intact fees the applications are bans the estimated cost so we're clept a budget surplus in the coming year this chart shows 15 fiscal years of volume trend with the lines the percentage change in the prior years to the first 4 fiscal years we've experienced growth and in the two upcoming years

thank you okay any other comments. >> i actually had a great meeting with the staff to discuss some issues around public health and what we can do from a commission prospective one of the things we discussed trying to work and reach out to the department of public health seeing if they have data their collecting currently to over lap with treatment to permit holders who had been you know the site of picks up for emergency transport and figuring out if there's that data that exists or a way to over lap our permit holders with that data and then possible see how that data compares relatively to other cities to see how we're doing because we may have you know a problem a bigger problem than with regards to alcohol and other drugs or no problems at all i'd like to see if we can reach out to dpw and collect that data if possible and see what could come out of that some need for a preventive campaign on drugs collaboratively with the dpw in terms of harm are reduction and getting the word out on alcohol and other drugs effectively our places of entertainment we had a good chat if you can find ou

today presentation, i am sorry, at today's presentation you will hear from the city staff on the compliance with the key components of the da that are relevant for the 2013 reporting period and as well as the updates on the compliance in 2014, following this hearing, the directors of planning and public health will determine if they are compliant with the 2013 obligations and issue the findings to that effect, a third party monitor will review the director's findings and inform the board of supervisors whether he agrees with the director's determinations and as you recall, the developing agreement is to build two new hospital and three new medical office buildings, with signs by the mayor in july of 2013. since then, construction for both the hill hospitals have begun, they are on track for meeting the commitment to open the hospital within two years of opening the hills hospital. for the 2013 reporting period, there are eleven main action items up for compliance review as outlined on this slide. my colleagues will go into these in greater detail. >> in 2013, they were required to make 12 p

. >> it's good to know within the staff and commission what's the threshold not necessarily the number of events but how many people do those events represent so at what point does sfpd dermatitis capacity has been reached so i mean obviously sfpd staffing levels vary from year to year but what is frustrating maybe being told yes one year and next your costs are going to double because the staffing is not there you don't have that clear delineation for the staffing of the city services so providing guidance to say this is where we tap out this is the number of events and the number of people at those critical times we can afford to cover and beyond that that could be cost recovery kicks in those additional cost permits kick in that will be an easier way to handle this at least it's more transparent. >> commissioner frost. >> that makes sense but when our talking about year by year this doesn't effect that because we're talking about anyone that is filing within 40 days of event and i know from first hand experience the police department requires our captains to have their plans made a

they can help the existing staff at the center. when people are facilitating other groups and then other people come in who 23450ed social services staff are pulled away are the stuff they're doing to address the individual needs, so this new person will be there to help support the existing staff and take on the role of bills that come in the mail or letters and things like that. in addition there will be site service unit increase throughout the year through activity services and translation services. each one will increase about 400 hours a year so activities hours will go from 2800 hours a year to 3200 hours a year. translation services will go from 1800 hours a year to 2200 hours a year. we urge your approval and if you have any questions i a happy to answer them. >> >>commissioner sims. >>the grant is $55,000, correct? >>yes, overs two years. >>this one was a little trickier for me to track, but it looks like there's a salary line of 37,440 and the nearest i could pick up was a 31% fringe benefits rate which got me to 49,000.

once we make the awards they have to fit it into the budget coordinate with the staff to make sure we're getting accountability for the public dollars. that is the process and sometimes it takes a little longer than we will all would like. i will say that the add-back funding is available for the year. the encumbrances essentially we can't get all of the awards in front of you until january. once you approve these modifications, based on nofas, we'll add it in. if it's an urgent case we have the ability to pre-fund them ahead of your authorization from the existing funding that that organization gets. now the add-back funding is good for this fiscal year, and next fiscal year. they are all good for the immediate fiscal year, and the next one. and we'll see what comes out in the budget, because we're on a two-year budget cycle. so the expectation is for those truly urgent and i don't know of too many that we put in that category, but those funds have been available. it's funding that we're taking out of the existing grants that we'll back-fill once the process is complete. we have have to

the members of our staff will give this report, starting with our program manager mark sabani. >> good morning, board members and happy new year. as nila mentioned the annual presentation, the program milestones and accomplishments will be done jointly by myself, as well as manager dennis, cfo sarah and manager scott and will include the milestone accomplishments for 2014 and the funding report, our community outreach efforts as , as well as our plans for 2014. 2014 marks the fourth year of successful operation of the temporary terminal and continues to operated and maintain the terminal with the level of [str-efrs/] or service that exceed ours customer's expectations. in 2014 we upgraded some of the cameras that have reached the service life with high-definition cameras and also endered into a lease agreement with amtrak to bring amtrak service to the temporary terminal this spring and we extended the facilities management contract with abm to spring of 2018 in order to provide sufficient time for a smooth transition from the temporary terminal to the transit center when it's opened i

first the staff. i would agree with dawn having participated in a number of these process and ones that had the passion and commitment to parks and open space that could potentially be therefore very contentious and this was not for a number of reasons. the first of which in my mind was the incredible staff support and analysis that went into preparation that dawn referenced so again thank you to dawn and the entire team, and then secondly the masterful facilitation skills of steve -- his last name? >> cansian. >> was just phenomenal in guiding the process and ensuring that task force member as well as community members felt their voice was being heard and options and issues of importance were being considered so really, really fantastic, and then in addition to the members of the task task force each brought commitment and intelligent and passion around the issues i want to under score. >> >> how valuable it was to have community in the room and again who brought their passion and were consistent, and

i accepted the recommendation of the staff and the city attorney. speaker: but at some point you read the documents and reviewed them, right? speaker: much later. speaker: when was that? speaker: after -- i think when the original lawsuit was filed. speaker: okay. i don't have any further questions. mr. grossman. thank you, mr. sancrow. speaker: i know the commissions started the hear, but i thought perhaps you would address the point i made about your conflict, which is so obvious and so apparent that the only fact that i come second, it seems that it's being heard through me. the commission cannot hear this matter because of its obvious conflict of interest that i sent out in my memorandum. mr. sancrow realize a year and a half ago because he had proposed at a meeting that you amend the regulations to exclude the commission, himself, and the staff from the sunshine regulations that are the basis for this hearing. and he did it to avoid the appearance of any possible conflict. you declined to adopt his proposal. obviously, appropriate to do that. i

this port we need to take it to another level i appreciate all the work that peter and others on the staff we need to continue it provides jobs i want to see piers 30-32 something that is the right fit i think we'll find it and another thing the port provide nor jobs that's of importance and i'm glad we have a commission of 5 commissioners each with different background we work approximately well and are opinionated and put the interests of the san franciscans first but i'd like to see you know, i read on the waterfront i see a lot of homelessness people on the waterfront it's not talked about i don't know what we can do about that i can a lot of times people think they have a different opinion about the homelessness but working with the mayor's office we know do something we have a very, very beautiful waterfront i don't like running out in the morning and seeing basket and people sleeping out there all night i'm hoping we can do something we're blessed and a lot of people that are homeless at one time something turned their lives up and down i want to see you table that issue i leaned th
