you'll notice obviously this area is quickly becoming the final piece of undeveloped property in the mission bay neighborhood. as you know all too well, we have been at this for quite a while and believe the passage of time has resulted in a feasible, achievable, well-supported mixed-use project and before you is is the timeline going back to 2006 when members of this commission helped convene a community process to define the objectives for the site. here's another view of the undeveloped site and i want to point out significantly that mission rock's proposed mixed use program which you will be hearing about today is achievable and accomplished without displacing any residential or existing commercial uses. so, it is really taking this blank slate and creating something new and fresh and important for the waterfront. and you'll see in this picture, the rendering of what the site will become when it is fully built out. it complements the surrounding area with much-needed new apartments, new retail, new restaurants, new open space and expanded open space and appropriate new office dev

typical undeveloped pieces of land are called lives, and underwater lots that were parcelized long ago but cannot be developed because they're submerged in the bay. the vacant lots that reach auction generally have been lacking an engaged property owner and for all intents and purposes seem abandoned. the subject property in dispute matched this description, and there were no tax records of payment for the 15 year period between 2000 and 2015. so how were the included parcels and the substance parcel handles? our office sent notices to two categories of people. first, the owner of record, and second any recorded lienholders for all parcels on the tax auction list. for the owner of record, we relied on the last known mailing record listed in the assessor's data babase. as we now know, the last -- so identify recordedlene holders, we follow the laws in the california tax sale manual, and engaged two vendors, the same that are used by other vendors across the state to search for the owners on the auction list. their report which was completed in february 2015 identified owners in 2510 thr

lots of communities had undeveloped property and they buy seeds so o what they did was hand-out to and packets of land of seeds and say grow yourself ood and there's more people often that wanted that than land that was available and if you land nicely our weeded and growing you would somebody else that needed it. also in little local newspapers running all kinds of articles about how to make your reminding stretch people they could in fact eat leftovers. i've seen articles reminding they could in fact eat leftovers. puding from ead stale bread and jelly. one of this sounded terribly appetizing and a lot was common sense and things that farm women already knew but >> who taught all kinds of skills. their services were in high demand in the 1930's. many communities offered free classes so people could learn howto cook cheap meals, best to spend their money. they were teaching skills that farm women already knew. skills were not what everybody had, so they were providing information for other people. how might you feed your family if you had absolutely no money? had one woman tell me tha

that the arabs were yet too undeveloped for full independence. she believed that the arabs required the extra tutelage that only a country like great britain could provide, and that perhaps down the road, arabs would be allowed full fettered independence, but for the time being, they required tutelage and help of great britain -- and the help of great britain. >> could you comment on the german-turkish relationship, with regards to the berlin-baghdad express, and how that fits in with the silk road, which is a british orientation as you know? ,dr. calvert: right, umm, yeah, the germans had significant influence in the ottoman empire german offices trained the ottoman army. of course, german engineers helped plan and will the great berlin to baghdad railway, one of the great engineering feats of the century. it ranks with the union to civic, the siberian railway, the , engineeringfic feats in terms of mountain railways. to bringallow him troops are very quickly to rebellious corners of the empire. one of the spur lines of that damascusent south in

india, what happens in europe, you know, africa as some of these countries move from, you know, undevelopedmore third world countries to more developed economies, it's going to be critical that they make good choices. but there's a reason why we have been the leaders on this issue, and so many others, when they're really challenging things to do, whether it's an engineering challenge or a political challenge. the reason why we, the united states, have led on these issues is because we're generally pretty good at it. you know, it worries me to see, is there another country that is going to step up and fill the vacuum of our leadership? and i would contend that's probably not going to happen. and if we don't lead, you know, this planet in the right direction on this issue and others, we're just, you know, making a big mess for our children and our grandchildren through the next century. >> yeah. well, lots to think about as we head towards 2018. mark kelly, thank you so much. thank you for joining us and just sharing your thoughts. appreciate it. >> thank you for having me on. >> we're going

it's undeveloped at this time. and our suggestion and our hope as you consider the merging of the properties, the parcels, as a concession to the neighborhood and the public good, that the development of copper alley into a staircase that connects burnett and corbett, be linked to the approval of this proposal. that's because there is a 1/2-mile distance between the vertical distance and that would be right in the middle of that, providing much-improved access of neighbors along burnett and for downward access towards muni and up to twin peaks. so our strong suggestion is, as you consider this reasonable proposal to link the three parcels into one for purposes of sale, that you also link it to the development of this staircase for the public good. thank you very much. >> president hillis: thank you. any additional public comment on this item? seeing none, we will close it to public comment. ms. butkus, can you put up the map of the parcels? >> absolutely. >> president hillis: so the dark area is the owner with the

reading those comments, very loud and clear that people want to keep that area as natural and as undeveloped as possible. so i think we need to really take that very seriously. and we need to consider that every step of the way in planning this project. the other -- i had one question. that came up in terms of maintenance. you know, after we've made all these improvements, what will the maintenance plan consist of, because often times what happens is that we do all these grandiose things, we make all the improvements, but we don't make sure that we have a plan and resources to maintain them, so i'd like to hear about that. >> i'll tackle this one, commissioner, i actually am proud of the department's park maintenance work. resources for parks, not just in san francisco, but across the country, urban park systems, we need the public, we fight over 5-foot trails versus 3-foot trail, but we're all together for parks. it provided stability for us. there has been talk about the current staffing rash i don't say in mclaren. we've been able to increase them significantly. we have 13, 14, in mclaren

well, for one thing, low prices for crude oil make the prospect of exploring undeveloped alaskan wilderness less appealing. in general, current industry appetite for high-risk frontier exploration is very low, observed an energy analyst at raymond james and associates. the arctic national wildlife refuge would suffer from much the same thing. the second problem is that oil companies are likely overstating their achievable existing reserves already. they will have to leave a lot in the ground of what they are now claiming as reserves. buying more when you can't sell what you already have is not a great strategy. low-cost renewables and excess supply will further drive oil prices down and down if laws of supply and demand hold true. this may be one reason why the world bank just announced in this news story dated two days ago that the world bank will end its financial support for oil and gas exploration within the next two years in response to the growing threat posed by climate change. that's where they're going. we are going the wrong way. the sad irony of arctic drilling is that the americ

in that case, we would use the four acres currently undeveloped east for a temporary trolley coach division and facility. that makes sense because a lot of electrical infrastructure we would need for future light rail operations there we would put in phase. we would shut down presidio and po ter ro -- potrero and the back end of the program would include the reconstruction of the kirkland yard. just as a highlight because i don't want to completely focus this on all our transit operations, we are also working to eventually inshert the animal care facility. we have been working with commissioner ronen's office on different housing options and joint development options. we will continue to look at joint development at all of our facilities throughout san francisco to maximize the opportunity for both policy goals at the city and county of san francisco has and both goals we have for our transportation system. we have looked at different uses of the building and now we are looking at expanding the use of that property to see how we can maximize it. here is the overall schedule. i think what i

hecla acquired the rock creek project and northwest montana which is a largest undeveloped silver copper project in the u.s. this project has been in permitting and litigation for over 25 years and counting. now to be clear, valid concerns about environmental protection need to be fully addressed and considered. at the same time we should not confuse the length of the process with a rigor of review. in my experience, permitting delays frequently caused by inefficient and duplicative processes that do not approve the rigor of review. while money is complex, there remain some of the permitting agencies lack training on minerals and mining and the nepa process. chairman murkowski, we saw introduce legislation that would allow mining projects to be eligible for consideration as covered projects under the fast act. clearly, expedited permitting machine for infrastructure projects will have little or no effect if the minds mines the y minerals and materials to those projects do not have the same accelerated process. in addition there is a great opportunity for the identification of regulations

hecla acquired the rock creek project, the largest undeveloped silver and copper project in the u.s. this project has been in permitting and litigation for over 25 years and counting. to be clear, valid environmental concerns need to be fully addressed and concluded. in my experience permitting delays are frequently caused by inefficient and duplicative processes that do not improve the rigor of review. while mining is complex, there remains some of the permitting agencies that lack training on minerals and mining and the nepa process, exacerbating delays in the process which is driven by a lack of firm time lines, accountability for permitting and unreasonable exclusions. chairman murkowski introduced legislation for the permits to be covered under the fast act. it will have little or no effect if the mines supplying minerals and materials to the projects do not have the same accelerated process. in addition there is a great opportunity for the identification of regulations and policies across the federal agency that needlessly delay or prevent mineral resource development, further
