as well as a rate review. the charter also requires a price tier to be considered them for us to hire an independent consultant to review the cost of service as well as the rates and to bring them before you. today i have 14 brief slides i would like to walk you through. the most important part from the staff perspective is to hear from you if there is a particular criteria or rate design or creative policy idea or implementation policy would like us to factor in as we review these rates and proposed rates, and then have those ready for you to deliberate on and consider it later this year in late november or early december. if i could just transition to the power point here on the computer, the review progress and objectives of the first item -- we have contacted with others to contribute to the rate design and rate analysis. to date we will update you on where they are and get your thoughts on criteria, a key policy directives, and special rate setting. you will be able to share those today and have agreements and questions all throughout the fall. we encourage you to forward those to us as well. the key deli

this individual is on board with us as well. we have been able to increase to about 15 hours per week. it is still just a drop in the bucket. i am looking forward to may be talking to you and seeing fifth we have as much coverage as possible. i am glad to have some african- american representation. in the past, they have always been focusing on the latino gang issues. being able to bring on two african-american males, one to work on the dwellings as well, that has really given us an in with some of the use and has gotten them into some positive activities. that is something that is on our radar. they have always had problems with the factions there whether it was drug-related issues or violence. we wanted to give you guys a quick update. >> thank you about that. i appreciate it. our henry morale less and victor still with you? >> correct.

us. as a consumer i've always found that i both patronize the smaller boutique stores for some of the unique things they have as well as pet food express. and we would really appreciate if you guys could support having some new business in san francisco with their new store. and like us, we appreciate the smaller stores, as well. thank you. president chiu: thank you, next speaker. >> supervisors, good afternoon, my name is bob tandler. i've lived and worked in this neighborhood since 1986, i've raised my children here. i'm very well familiar with the neighborhood. i think this store would be a good thing for the neighborhood. i think their pet rescue activities would be good, there's a lot of people with pets around there and their policy of not bringing in more pets where there's so many homeless pets is a great one for san franciscans. and i frankly believe that as a small business that started in san francisco and wants to open a small store in his home town, i don't believe we would say no to the fisher family on this. we should encourage our businesses to stay local. thank you very much. >> good afternoon, ever

mike's been following the weather for us as well as the winds and what we can expect today. mike?ky with the winds out there. they've been relatively light and will be compared to average this afternoon, about 10 to 15 mph. the highlights mostly sunny and the warming trend continues. tonight it will be cloudy at the coast but clear around the bay. expect sunny and pretty much seasonal temperatures all the way through the seven-day forecast. let's see what's going on upstairs. the cool air slowly moving off to the east. ridge of high pressure building on behind it. as this cool air moves away and that high pressure takes over, not only bringing us the calming winds for those firefighters but pretty mild days all the way through the weekend. start with temperatures in the south bay. 79 san jose, low 80s saratoga and los gatos. sunshine on the peninsula with low to mid-70s. along the coast, look at the sunshine. a few clouds from time to time. temperatures in the low 60s. downtown south san francisco and sausalito mid to upper 60s with low 60s at your north bay beaches. maybe a few m

if it was to try to enter the plaza, that would require a conditional use authorization as well as thesmall cell service use restaurants. >> previously when he tried to tell me that a hamburger was a sandwich, it almost worked. i don't think it quite worked but in any case, this triggered my memory a little bit because that kind of argument revolve around what the original intent of what that section was and the neighbors definitely had a hand in crafting that language. unfortunately, i think as the staff has pointed out, back then there was not the kind of mechanisms that we would have with forma retail that are in place. this was the best way the board of supervisors could come up with to try to upgrade the proliferation of fast food in the shopping center. i like it because it gives the commission some kind of violence. i hate to see this. i don't have an objection to the restaurant, by the way. a question to the management, you said you have been marketing this space, etc. >> we send e-mail out to the communities every three weeks for lakeshore plaza. we also have leasing signs in

use complies. chipolte expressed interest. after meeting with them as well as hearing a positive response from the community we are here today seeking approval to not only allow them under the formula retail use requirement and amend the c.u. by eliminating the condition 36. >> i am the director of operations for chipolte northern california. just a little background history, the founder actually used to be a chef here in san francisco. he got a four-year degree in new york. used to shop the mission district quite frequently and decide i am going to try this burrito and taco deal. he went to denver, colorado, got a loan from his father and opened up his first chipolte. it was an unbelievable success. we have over 1,000 restaurants right now and three here in san francisco. our primary food is burritos, tacos and salads. we are heavily invested in naturally raised meats, organic beans, and we are very popular with kids. all of our food is absolutely fresh. nothing is frozen. we spend many hours in the morning before we open our shop chopping, dicing, making s

in fact, police canines were used as well in that effort and just behind me you'll see as the camera moves, that bus is now coming and will be towed to a montgomery county police impound lot. this is the area where they will do a further inspection of the bus to make sure that they have really gone over it with a fine tooth comb. ntsb investigators are also on scene. they will also do an inspection, but again the driver of the bus, 66-year-old joseph clabaugh, jr., killed in that crash, killed instantly we're told all 11 of his passengers taken to local hospitals including one person on the ground here involved in the collision. that is the latest from bethesda, maryland. i'm will thomas, fox 5 news. >>> in virginia now it appears the serial burglar struck again last night. in fact, he struck eight times last night. tonight fairfax county police are stepping up efforts to end what they call a one-man crime spree. we're talking 82 incidents in less than two months across the county including the clifton, sully, fair oaks, reston and mcclain areas. fox 5's wisdom martin working that on

they look not only at water supply but at water treatment and the energy role that water plays for us as well, both bringing us power and cooling our coastal power plants. i bring you greetings, of course, from the city of los angeles and we are experiencing, as has the entire country, the warmest year recorded. last summer was the warmest summer since records were kept. i know you've all seen al gore's speech so i don't have to recapitulate all that, but i do think it's important to bring it back to the meaning for the city of los angeles and for other cities as well that when we record record high temperature, we also record record high use of our power system, which means we also have record high numbers of outages and we have record high hours of overtime being worked by our employees and we have many other impacts that are felt greatly by the citizens and by the rate payers. our city also receives a very large quantity of water and certainly our best quality of water from pristine area in the eastern sierra known as the owens valley and that's what feeds our aqua duct. we have been seein

that partial for tornados and spin-ups will be with us as well.h the heavy rain try to push to the eastern shore. cutting off our rainfall eventually. cooler dry air spills in for the weekend. we have to watch ourselves, this flood watch and possibility of high tidal surging around portions of the chesapeake bay. just after midnight tonight. and uh, again, around early afternoon tomorrow. these are the two high tides i think we may have running about two to three feet above normal. the possibility not only of flooding or tornados, but that heavy rainfall and winds gusting to 45 miles an hour. we'll settle back into the low 60s overnight. rain should cut off from west to east by daybreak. we're heading for 73, clearing tomorrow, at least by the afternoon, this weekend, look at the cool down. lows 45 to 50 saturday and sunday. let's check out traffic now. here's kim. >> plenty to check out this morning. we have several crashes around the beltway, i-70, an accident reported on the harrisburg expressway. let's get you updated, wilkins avenue, blocking

last ten years, as you have noticed, a number of ceqa documents have passed through what we call a dual analysis, meaning an analysis affecting air quality using old guidelines, as well as using the new 2010 guidelines. overall, you will notice that more projects using the 2010 significant thresholds will show significant air quality impact and you will also notice there will be more instances where this impact is significant and unavoidable, mostly due to mitigation strategies. there is some concern that the new threshold could have unintended consequences, and that otherwise desirable in-fill project could become more challenging with some projects being pushed outside of the city. this will also address how the planning department intends to meet the environmental goals through a systemic city wide approach that addresses our air quality concerns and doesn't display in fill development. i will begin with greenhouse gas emissions. this is something we have been doing in the planning department since 2007, so conducting greenhouse gas analyses is not knew for us. what is new is that the air district has determined a level by which a project's emissions would be cons

like this, a memorial, it helps bring closure not only to the immediate family but for the rest of us as well and gives us an opportunity to now move on with our lives a little bit easier. >> we've known lavon for some 63 years, went to school with her at university of california and graduated san francisco nursing school in 1951. >> she was a great remarkable lady. i admired her. she did a whole lot of things for me and that's one person i never, never will forget. >> to me her gentleness, love, patients loved her. >> absolutely, yeah. had a twinkle in her eye and a smile on her face. >> i remember greg. like they said, he liked to tell yikes and he was somewhat of a trickster and i feel that we need more left in our life. there's too many people -- levity in our live. too many people take things way too seriously. >> it's a wonderful service but it's a same it was necessary. it will be a long time before this town feels the same. >> reporter: a lot of people came to this high school after the service for a reception. family and friends say they'll miss will, greg and lavon. >>> meanwhile in

the internet has become a bonanza not only for that but for us as well because it's not really a window i want to this world and you know you're not going to find people on the internet plotting to blow up a federal building up but you may come to understand what the dynamics are of a struggle between two groups for leadership or an ideological discussion about you know is it more important to kill the jews first or should we go after you know of a sexual zur plaques and there are all kinds of things that you learn that really do help you understand that for a typical hate group the availability of the internet is a boon people who are tied together not by physical presence but through the internet they are able to troll for new members target the next generation of young people raise money meet in a virtual environment all at a very very low cost. and for those of us who are in the fight against bigotry and extremism and terrorism the internet represents a challenge which we to try to use. a lone wolf is i think without question the most dangerous kind of attacker you can face because

and they do now for us as well. we tried for continue guety to assign children to the closest school or if there wasn't space available at the closest school with space available. so we made every elementary house is located within its own attendance area, but sometimes just barely. sometimes across a street there's another attendance area. and this, again, is because the schools aren't distributed the same way that the students are. if we could, we'd pick up the schools and put them right down in the middle of the area that they would serve. that would be adeal. but that is not possible. in fact, it isn't possible most of the time unfortunately. continuity and proximity are closely related to each other. proximity would mean every student attends. that really isn't completely possible, as i said already. we also looked at school diversity, trying to maximize diversity at all the city's schools, but this is very difficult to do, because students are not randomly distributed across the landscape. there are concentrat
