the early implementation projects to basically give us information that says -- if we put this kind of project in place, it will be monitored and we will accept performance. then we look through the watershed characteristics to kind of say -- where else can we put additional green projects or technologies? and then we can be assured, more so than today, that that technology will perform in we will actually get volume reduction in activation reduction needed for compliance. the idea at that point in time would be to say that we can afford to downsize a tunnel because we were implementing and getting to the same benefit. but i believe that the way it is set up, commissioners, is that we are carrying the $1.2 million in the tunnel because it gives us a lot of flexibility. and it will work long term, if we have to go through reductions. >> just to make it easier, can you go back to the slide and with different options? i am trying to make sure i understand the question period between options three and four, you need $350 million. are you talk

use. that is the whole point of this project, to increase night use. project is a complete violation of the master plan. it never mentions it. hot for hundred pages and never mentioned in. and on the next sentence, it says the layout listed in the master plan as an night use area. what is listed as a knight used area is the beach lay restaurant. if you go out there at night, it is dark. by saying it is a night used area, it is part of the fema. i sent you an e-mail to a seat can see the links for the master plan, it is fraudulent and it knows it. >> san francisco prides itself in being the lead a green city in the country if not the world. it cares deeply and you have worked hard with multiple programs including a ban on plastic bags and a ban on plastic water bottles. we are debating installing seven makers of plastic grass and the professional level of sports lighting. no plastic bag, no plastic bottles, but plastic grass, rubber tires, and sport sides. what kind of a topsy-turvy world are we living in? lots of families want soccer, but it is not an u

those types are exactly the types of projects we would use for contracts in. you would have seen those and you would see all small capital projects because you -- you approve the concept design. if we had a project that involved -- give me an example of a deferred maintenance projects that we might not otherwise bring before the commission. >> i wanted to point to a couple of tangible projects that you are aware of. the richmond basketball court, which was contingency funds from the open space. we use a contractor for that. to address the question about sunnyside, president buell approved funding for the kitchenette program which came before you for approval. the contractor that we will use for that project expires. other projects where we have used contrasting, for instance, campbell part -- kimball playground. i am breaking that into pieces, for instance, replacing sidewalks and street trees. the projects that we do execute through this program do come before you in different forms and fashions. there are small projects that we do on a routine basis. for inst

is this analysis -- were using the same methodology used with other significant projects in the city?>> absolutely. supervisor wiener: did you go back in use stale data out when we were using current data and other products -- projects? >> we tweak the methodology for each individual project based on the available data. as a general rule, the methodology outlined in the slide is applicable to all transportation. supervisor wiener: i understand some of thev-u)h critiques thate coming forward. i also understand there is a debate going on about of the hospital and what is the best location, i completely understand those issues. when it comes to the zoning changes, those are legitimate questions to ask. when it comes to the eir, it seems to me the adequacy is what is important. i look forward to the hearing hearing about other projects and this is comparable to the way we analyze those projects. thank you. supervisor% but i have to run. i do have a final question that i had on the issue of traffic and transportation. one of the things that may end up happening, if you are looking at st. l

parts in public-service programming, office of improvement, and programming for our tent next to use projects. this will be an enormous increase and that general fund and a much-needed increase for the central market because previously the redevelopment agency would have provided a good deal of these funds. this allows for the continuation of important programs, just now under these to the family. the bayview initiative would include $1.2 million and continue work under the redevelopment agency, including $600,000 for passat and tenant improvement programs. this would be solely focused on third street corridor and bayview and represents a commitment that would have been met by the redevelopment agency. it keeps that corridor at a base line. it also includes funding for activation events and funding at the focus of the plaza and money to the use for mixed use development projects. supervisor cohen: about the third street corridor bayview -- which section of third street are we talking? are we specific talking best -- specifically talking evans to paul? >> it is not restricted. something we wan

we have the model and how we operate, with the trauma center and the you see us project -- ucs project. with the critical injury that happens in the community, we have the system set up, as he alluded to, to deal with the crs program. 80% of the time, we get a call fro mthm the community. we need to verify the situation from public health. we want to cut the many rumors that may be going through the community to make certain that there is clear information for the families and victims when there is a shooting in the community. that is right off the top within 24 hours. we >> we get information from the hospital. because of our close connections. we can do it in a wholistic way and caring way that folks allow us to relay some of that information when needed. the last part is that we have family support and expedited services with the immediate systems of care. we help families advocate and navigate the victim of crime unit, navigate the system with sfpd when property, clothes, things of that nature are confiscated, we work with families to kind of work those systems and help them with t

project. i want to commend the land use committee for your work. there have been many meetings that we have had. the supervisor talked about about 30 weeks of work put into this project. other supervisors, board members on the land use committee as well. i think that shows a commitment to saying that we have a project we can support. i do not think we are there yet. you talk about a project, there is an unwillingness to negotiate. i think there is a commitment that we have on both sides to do that. the mayor's administration as well. i would like to see him at the table with some flexibility to make that happen. i hope that we can get there. i was ready to vote to uphold the appeal. i am hearing that we are continuing to have further discussions possibly. i have not heard a motion on that yet. to me, it makes sense that we have the best product that weekend. there are great acts to our health care in the future. i do not see us having one single monolithic health care company in a separate cisco. we need to have diversity of care geographically whic

project. what can you tell us about that? >> so, the march on milwaukee several history rights project is a digital archive, it's an online archive of sources relating to mostly the struggle for open housing and school desegregation in 1960s milwaukee. it includes oral histories, but it also includes text documents, photographs and video footage, news footage from a local tv station at the time. >> what do you find the biggest challenge is? because your document, both of you are relatively recent history. we're talking in the case of the civil rights into the '60s -- '50s and '60s in the case of the japanese heritage project, the 1940s or so. what are the biggest challenges in terms of finding original source material? >> well, we had at my university, university of wisconsin, milwaukee, we had a lot of the documents already in our physical archives. so the challenge was to make them more accessible and to give them a kind of a context so that students in milwaukee in particular but beyond could learn more about their city and

as he said, we did have our third party consultant there to look at our projections for us. on the concept of an audit, it is difficult to see how you can audit projections. what we tried to do is the latter. supervisor? supervisor campos: do you have something that you can share? >> these are confidential numbers. we negotiated that we needed to see them. that is part of what we insisted on in drafting the agreement. since these are proprietary numbers, for sharing those with us, the condition was that we would report on the conclusions but that we could not share those numbers with you. supervisor: we are here to provide oversight to the deal which the branch is recommending. how can we in good conscience conclude that what you are proposing is corrected your abasing part of your recommendation on numbers that we have not seen? so are you telling me that we are supposed to take a leap of faith year and assumed that the numbers you see are correct? >> this is part of the reason that we are doing this. we want to revisit that and provide protection so you do not have to take

we used to have a bench there, we planted trees there and so on. we could have a project there which either reused the church or even if it didn't, that had little green open spaces. it was consistent with the neighborhood and that provided some kind of actual community use like we used to have in the church because it's true, we have no community centers. anyway, the engineer's report for example for $23,000 i priced an elevator that would take care of this kind of thing without demolishing the sanctuary. >> hello again, i'm rowena genn. where you put the picture, is that here? president fong: yes. right there. >> i want to show a photo, i don't know how to get this thing to work. president fong: it will turn on. >> once you start speaking, it will come up. i just want to say that this church has been on the corner for a century and there are a lot of neighbors who don't want to get involved, they don't speak english like this neighbor who lives in the building next to the parking lot, not the first one, but the second one. every morning, it looks like his daughter becau

us. we have many families who have pledged their total support to this new building project. we respectfully ask for your endorsement of the eminence to the general plan that you create the chinese hospital special use district. thank you. >> are there any other members of the public who wish to speak? seeing none, public comment is closed. colleagues, i just want to say i really appreciated the staff walking me through the hospital. not only the old building, but the new work building. a building that is a couple blocks away. i see it as a tremendous community institution, and it really helped out to sea and on many generations of family have been born there. the children and grandchildren continue to support the community institution. i did not realize that 97% of the population are asian-pacific islander. it is not just any asian-pacific islander. it is the most -- is the most vulnerable better on metical -- medical. i know some are saying the building has historic significance. is there anything that could acknowledge what a community institution it has been, like a plaque

new projects are given a prior use credit when the site they are occupying has been active within the preceding five years. when a project comes in with a change of use application, the difference between the proposed use and the rate is such a difference exists. the ordinance updating was introduced at the same time as an ordinance that would establish a the sustainability program. both of those zero were introduced and co-sponsored and introduced in may of this year. it is a proposal that would make the city's actual practices consistent with and the policy objectives. they would provide comprehensive citywide transportation system improvements. at the same time, mitigate impacts on the transportation system. because the program requires an environmental impact report, we are expecting it will be completed in the later part of 2013, and it serves as the city's mechanism to offset the impact on the transit system. once it is implemented, if it is adopted, it will no longer be collected. state law requires that we update the study is underlying the impact fees every five years. they c

because as it stands now, you can see the conflict between both sides and you can see where this project is taking us into a long extended period where no one benefits. from the neighborhood point of view, if these projects were to be swapped and looked at objectively, it would be a win- win and you could keep the historic preservation aspect of golden gate park. you would make a -- made the master plan objectives and keeps the western edge of golden gate park in a [inaudible] periodstate. you would take west sunset which is a thriving athletic field and keep it as a a thriving athletic field. i want to thank you for the time and i hope this can be resolved sooner rather than later. this will take a very, very long time if we can just sit down and somehow figure out how to get this together. thank you very much. president chiu: thank you. next speaker. >> i am blind and i am not here to speak on behalf of the blind community but the larger community. everyone i've spoken to about this project cannot understand the necessity of pulling out grass which is a natural substance. regardless of whether you

these water use projects in the past have impeded implementation of water systems -- water saving systems. in addition to this important first step, i believe that san francisco should plan to require these systems in the future. with climate change and an uncertain future water supply, we need to take new steps to conserve and reuse water. thank you. supervisor mar: thank you. is there anyone else who like to speak? if there's anyone else, please lineup. we will close public comment in a moment. >> good afternoon. i am the chief inspector ed dbi. we're in support of the servant ordinance. we would like to see education from the industry out reach more to the industry is so they can know what is coming forward. i get a lot of different people asking when this is coming forward? we reuse gray water, blackwater, what is coming. we would like to see it go forward. public comment would be a little bit more from them as well. thank you. supervisor mar: thank you. next speaker? >> good afternoon. i am june, the senior epidemiologist at the health department here. i have been working with the pu

estate and all the exciting things of the future city come to fruition, the notion of an term used project is being questioned and is of concern to many people, the idea that you can do something temporarily and see benefit to that. when we first received a notice -- if i may go on for just a moment here -- when we first received notice a year ago that the development plans were going to proceed, we were excited about the opportunity to sit and work with the mayor's office and a number of neighborhood and community-based organizations to identify additional spaces. one of the lessons i learned was an urban farm is something worth understanding a little about. [tone] it's not always going to be a very large space. what i would like to see is a community that has spaces throughout the neighborhood. some available for thing slyke composting, some for tools, some for class's and i don't think we need to have it all in one large space, but many spaces. as i stand here before you, i teach at the community gardens as well as two days in the bayview doing a job training program with some of the mo

it would probably be the largest land use project discussed this year.t is right on the edge of my district. it is seated at the intersection of several separate as oriole -- supervisorial districts. there are issues around displacement, the impact of a large hospital on the surrounding neighborhoods, and whether the size of this hospital and plans in the city wide picture of health care access. i am sure we will have robust discussion about this in the coming months. >> are there any other issues that concern you that we have not discussed? are there any other interests you plan to concentrate on as supervisor? >> one thing every supervisor works on is the relationship between our neighborhoods and city hall. i am blessed in district 3 to have a rich network of neighborhood associations, merchant groups, and nonprofit organizations that i interface with regularly. they often had difficulty navigating city hall. i am trying to help develop neighborhood councils that bring together these various groups to interface with city hall and city staff as a model

we believe that demonstration projects will allow us to optimize these. after all the modeling and analysis, we have programs for you to consider today. the recommendation is for 400 acres of green infrastructure and eight early implementation projects to cut our teeth. this will allow us to keep performance with local experience. as early implementation is completed, we recommend larger scale implementation. specific projects would be just fine through the urban watershed assessment process, but if you want an idea of the level of implementation we are talking about, we think 22 miles of mean streets redirecting hundreds of acres and giving us the ability to daylight one. these are placeholder concepts that allowed us to model and assess the performance of these projects. as we go through, we will be coming back to confirm these assessment assumptions and going through actual specifics with the commission. the potential that these recommendations have to impact this system are significant. there is a combined discharge volume of 900 million gallons annual

process you could not craft something that would be different with respect to a conditional use type project that would be applicable in the area that might supersede the overall conditional use permitting process. >> just a reminder -- if it was anr

there would be not enough commercial paper authority to that are using the project. >> the capacity isnot enough to do that? >> not with this construction. >> do you think that they would come back to increase the size of the commercial paper program? >> i justú the current tenants for the war memorial building. my understanding is that the staff of the war memorial, the san francisco opera will have some when they return. i am curious as to what the plan is for the other tenants. the law library is a separate issue. is there going to continue to be a meeting space for the department of the environment now that they have new dedicated space of 1445 market? i am most curious about the2s75 office exhibit and meeting space for the san francisco post of the american legion and the plan there. >> i will defer your question on the apartment to the real estate department. i know he has been working with them and the mayor's office on disability which currently occupies space in the veterans building, with regard to the american legion post, which are trust beneficiaries, we are planning on p

members of the occupy farm movement trying to get the albany city council throw out a proposed mixed use project. this is called the university village and is slated to go up next to a piece of land called the gill track that is the center of this controversy. uc-berkeley owns the land and this spring dozens of protesters took it over and planted crops out there illegally. they were removed by police but then they broke in this past weekend to harvest the crops. business owners voicing their concern. >> i just want to say that i would rather have you be remembered for many, many years as doing something inspiring that would get global attention of feeding the people and saving some land rather than paving it over. >> occupiers say the goal is to have the city leave the land alone and use it for community farming. >> cash only for cannabis. credit cards being denied at california medical marijuana dispensaries. the federal government is ordering banks to no longer process transactions involving medical marijuana or face heavy fine. a handful of pot clubs have always been cash only, so the new pol

including project scope and uses. we are deeply involved in our design construction division -- vision and the construction techniques we would use to the project built. we have conducted numerous tenant tors and have the probe the market to understand where that is that venting. we have begun our financial modeling. and we have assembled a first- rate san francisco-based team to take the project forward. i will spare everyone the reading of the slide, but it is a strong team that is extremely motivated to see this wonderful san francisco asset returned to viability. after all of this, we have concluded that this is a dual but extremely difficult project. another way to say that is a typical odi project. >> we might say typical san francisco. >> will take hands-on management, everyone's cooperation, and every constituent will get most of what they want, but not everyone will get what they want. it is our job to make every penny squeal. if we do that, we can create a wonderful new community and make a decent return for

a vote is set to take place on the university village mixed use project which will include a senior housingfoods market. members of the occupy the farm projects are opposed to the proposal. >>pam: a new system being tested includes visual messages at statements and audio messages. the test runs from 10:00 a.m.-3:00 p.m.. once the system is fully installed, or real time of arrival of formation will be available on the caltrans website and by free e-mail alerts in text messages. still ahead matt came on being named starting pitcher for tomorrow night's all- star game and a home run derby gary [ male announcer ] now at your neighborhood subway: dinner...is...served. tonight, take it easy and enjoy your favorite soup, salad and hot, hearty sub. like the toasty big hot pastrami melt. get to your local subway for some dinnertime deliciousness tonight. subway. eat fresh. >>jaqueline: warm conditions in the inland valleys. as we head into tomorrow it will be significantly warmer the what we saw today. 10-20 degrees warmer. the inland valleys of the upper 90s. temperatures warming even more into wed

members of the occupy the farm movement oppose a proposed mix use project in albany. they're at a city council meeting right now. the project is called the university village, it's slated to go up next to a pizza bland called the gill track at the center of the con tremendous versecy. uc berkeley owns the land and dozens of protesters took it over and planted crops illegally. they were removed by police and broke back in this weekend to harvest their crops. >> i would rather have you be remembered for many, many years of doing something inspiring that would get global attention of feeding the people and saving some land rather than paving over. >> they ultimately want the city to leave the land alone for community farming, and will have the results of tonight's meeting tomorrow morning on today in the bay beginning at 4:30 a.m. >>> caught on tape, and only on nbc bay area, surveillance video of scavangers caught rummaging through donated items at good will trailer as cross the silicon valley. the thieves are are then selling these items at yard sales or flee markets f

we're seeing more and more of this, it seems like every controversial land-use project as a ceqa appeal to the board, and then there is the ensuing litigation that consumes city attorney resources, and then it gets billed to departments. the planning department sometimes ends up absorbing ceqa litigation costs. we're trying to go through a ceqa reform process at the state level, but i think it is really important for people to understand the cost of this incessant ceqa litigation in cases that are maybe marginal at best. i just wanted to see your perspective. >> yeah, we have seen an increase in its ceqa litigation over the course of the past several years. the planning department has increased its work order for this type of work. it has been difficult with mandatory furloughs and the like over the course of the last several years. i know we have talked about this. i think you will see an improvement in that because of a change in the budget situation. our lawyers will be more available than they have been recently. but the planning department, we have been in consultation with them, a

the idea of the pipeline projects and those under construction being both compared is probably a useful thing. sometimes too much information can get a little confusing because there are approved projects that never get built, so there are projects under construction -- they do not necessarily always translate into projects. it is good to probably always have that information, but i have been very happy with what staff has done to date. i have never seen a year where we have not gotten the particular reports that this legislation is calling for, so i think it is not a bad thing to codify it, but staff has always done a good job. the other thing i will grow in as we are talking about the subject is san francisco being california's only city and county is unlike any place else in california, and this is a regional question. our needs assessment should be interpreted a little bit differently than almost any place else in california because we have such a constricted area and to try to meet these needs in a geographically 46-square- mile area that is not going to get any bigger -- perhaps w

i am going to be using some projecting, please. this mural has been up since 1980 to 1982 when a community process put it up, headed by arch williams, who was also a member of the haight-ashbury muralists. words are in spanish and english from songs on two sides. on the right side of the front are featured three pyramids -- a mexican pyramid, an egyptian pyramid, and the transamerica pyramid, with images of the united nations, children on the globe, and so on. the site features working women and hands clasped in friendship as well as a hot rod that the kids particularly wanted included. on the back wall is a history of the neighborhood, starting with native americans. all of this is scheduled for destruction october 1, and replacement by a very sanitized, bland product, which i am showing here. just whorl's and swirls on the left. nothing on the right front, and on the side, bits and pieces reminiscent. they should not happen, and we ask you to help sort it out along with the mayor. thank you. >> supervisors, i am glad that most of
