i think you actually hit it right on the head already which is we use the exact same process that the city and county uses when it does the large scale projections the economists that we're doing the work for, enernex followed the same process. they used a slightly different modeling program than what the city does but they're comparable programs and did the exact same work the way the city and county would do it. in the example you gave is perfect example of the america's cup but any project is using this model including puc proximate to my understanding. >> if i may? >> sure. >> >> my commission doesn't have the breath of experience reviewing the kindses of documents you are referring to commissioner what i am getting it's confusing to the reader, like the commissioners when a construction job shows such a large number for a solar project for example knowing we all right reported our numbers for jobs running. the numbers are so different because we're reporting actual construction jobs and this report goes broader than that. i am not suggesting that the methodology is wrong. i am just as

and you heard the city talk about what is going on with the hiring process, with oewd and this is a brand new process for both us and the city and there have been some bumps along the way. and our commitment remains strong to hire 40 percent, san francisco residents for entry level jobs, and we are absolutely committed to doing that. and in fact, we have hired almost 3 times as many san francisco residents as you heard about in the entry level jobs and they just have not gone through the process, because the process is only really now, up and running fully effective and we are grateful to the city for committing the resources to help us with that. and here is what these two hospitals are going to look like. and looking from the north towards the van ness, and also from the north to the new hospital of saint lukes across chavez and i welcome all of you to the ribbon cutting ceremony in 2019 thank you so much. >> thank you. >> so we are going to open for public comment but there is a requested block of time from the coalition. >> >> good morning, commissioners. and city officials as well as the committee members,

use. the phrase "nearby residents are not affected" it's a difficult standard for the city to ascertain. if a resident says i'm affected, the city doesn't have a gauge to figure out what's the violation or the remedy. again, the jeb -- general thought in that bullet is permissible but we wanted to edit it so it has clearer standards. >> that's a big issue in the upper market. are all these conditions actually grounded from prior experience. these aren't made up. the issues with the doors, they opened them up because they were hot and that one i would leave that one and try to edit it and the patrons leaving and entering is a huge issue. >president cindy wu: i know there is a desire to get this done today, but in fairness i don't know we should continue it for a week because we are kind of making these decisions but i'm not sure the project sponsor is reviewing all of this, i think there is a general agreement in the spirit of all of this, but since we are getting into wordsmithing, i'm looking for some -- >> i propose we continue it for a week. if we continue it a week you won't have muc

so i would like to thank you all for listening to us, the city workers and retirees that you are duty bound to represent. but i would really like to thank everybody who showed up today in the room behind me. everybody that came out in september and november for the other sro meeting and everybody who signed petitions because if we hadn't made the effort here in the last few months to really make our voices here, this would have been a done deal. i think having everybody here in the room, thanking you for being here and thank you for listening to us. >> thank you very much for your consideration. my name is denise and i have been very active in the city for many years and literally saved million of dollars in the city with my program that i established with the department of human services 20 years ago. at any rate, i find this board very disrespectful. the fact is that this city issues have been going on and on and it's very stressful that we have continually come back here and argue the same point over and over again. i think you should just forget it. stop it now. there is no sense

contrary to public policy we described it our memo the project is unbalanced consistent with city policy and the necessary finding for conditional use and the removal were found and approved by the commission now, it's good to note the finding of the consistent involve a balancing of all of overall consistency so the board should reexamine the finding perhaps this project talked about the city's crisis we look to you how the policies should be interpreted don't be mislead by the journey for the appellants you've mentioned past cases the board has denied units those with not new housing instead those were mergers where the city sees a loss of units we disagree this approval is contrary to all public policy the general plan policies courage the retention of the housing and it is a rare project that is consistent with all of the policies in the general plan and the planning code therefore the quest remains unbalanced consistent with the general plan 101 and in this case, the commission felt the answer was yes. >> so in addition to the policies that are outlined i mean, i'll go over a few from the general plan and the housing unit objec

[ calling roll ] the item passes. >> the item passes. >> can you please call the next item? 8. recommend authorizing the executive director to execute a funding agreement with the metropolitan transportation commission, in an amount not to exceed $300,000, for the san francisco bay area core capacity transit study, and authorizing the executive director to negotiate agreement payment terms

choices we make at the port level we have to be talking with the city about the land use choices so the city has flexibility to protect itself in the future this slide is a trig to show some of the policy conflicts of seawall rise and i'll walk through it quickly showing some of the piers are circuit to topping over the waves today, we're facing that risk now over time i seawall rise and there will be more frequent flood exposure to the piers eventually there is a problem with maintaining the piers the gray bar shows the work window there slink to be costly there is not enough hours we can get a clue underneath the piers to do the maintenance work and eventually the piers are we regularly flood city needs to build a line of defense it needs to raise the current seawall wall or build a levy this is a guess maybe by 2050 that need to protect the city so where they build that line of defense how does a relate to the horizon links in blue shows the leasing telling him term of 66 years private financing for a major project takes 60 years and tax credits require 40 years how do

the methodology that was used by enernex. the elations report that i referred to that the city uses is a tracking of the construction jobs per city sponsored project, and i was just referring to that system for purposes of relaying the information we have from the 5-megawatt solar system we installed just as a benchmark of actual construction jobs for a san francisco solar project, renewable project. with respect to target -- job targets from the cleanpowersf program we do not have job targets from the cleanpowersf program work that we have done so far. that was -- that is something that was identified and we're certainly happy to see that enernex report certainly at the staff level at least happy to see that the enernex represent put some thought behind what the jobs potential is, and frankly that's part of the reason why i am spending time and thought on that part of the report because i feel that was a gap going into this process, and i think the enernex report attempts to fill that gap. i want to make sure it's done in a robust way. it appears to be done in a robust way with respect to the methodology and i would like to

then on page 20 of our report, the mohcd has advised us the city has no liability for the loan between united players and john hammond and we state because the city through the soma stablization is providing the down payment for the purchase of 1038 howard street by united players, mohd will require that united players will replace the value as part of the agreement between the mayor's office of housing and community development and united players if the 1038 howard street property is sold. so our recommendations at the bottom of page 29, we recommend you amend the resolution to state the city has no liability on the loan between united players and mr. john hommond and they will be required to reimburse the city plus a proportional share in the value of 1038 howard street from the proceeds of any sale of property including sale of the property due to default or foreclosure secured by the property. we recommend you approve the resolution as amended. i would add we believe any future transaction for a new building should be subject to board of supervisors approval. we are not in any way

commented if we had or the board of supervisors kept a line at 20 then this would not be coming before us as a conditional use. what's the cost for a conditional use for the city, how much does it cost a project sponsor to do a conditional use, just out of curiosity. i'm not talking about additional legal fees. >> you are talking about a conditional use application? >> yes. >> i believe it's around $2025. >> that's still a significant amount of money in my book. thank you. the reason why i think it shouldn't have to happen, it's replacing another phil 's with a new location. what it's replacing is a former campaign office. this maybe zoned retail at this time, i'm not really sure. maybe there is a zoning change but it's not replacing a retail use. it's only a transfer and there is only 16 phil's statewide and fortunately he's decided to keep his headquarters in san francisco. if we push small businesses hard enough, we'll drive them out of san francisco because it only makes sense that you are trying to run a business and you don't want opposition for something as minor as this. in regards to some of the comments, the figures i have gotten, they are from staff

enforce the policies is one of the rot causes of the affordability crisis in this city most recent controllers report referenced by supervisor mar tells us the city has losses more 2 thousand rent control units others as metcalf over at spur and the tenants union say it is much honoree that they're being lost to demolition or converging and replacement with no construction that is not subject to rent control during this crisis every supervisor and every elected official for the city has you talked the talk wanting to fight the affordable crisis and wanting to keep the poor and less affluent in our city this is where you get to walk the walk and show the talk is more than empty words and you care about displacement and ugly be the check and balance against what the mayor says in our residential neighborhoods the department analysis is full of excuses it says

it was something quiet different right in the heart of san francisco as ktvu's tom vacar shows us the city is doing it as a safety precaution in an effort to stabilize the hillside before this week's powerful storm hits. >>> suspended on repelling gear 150 feet off the ground. a gio technical stabilization crew hired by the city of san francisco is racing the clock to get as much work done before thursday's storm hits. by taking these massive rocks down now in a controlled way, we're not likely to have the massive slide that we had in heavy rains two years ago. in january of 2012, a weaker storm caused a huge slide sending down car sized boulders that smashed a car and damaged the apartment building as well. it's been a problem here for generations. >> traditionally this was a quarry that was undocumented. they left it in a pretty precarious position. >> reporter: the sand stone rock face is not only easily cracked by weather. earthquakes have also made it unstable, even when weather is not a factor. the six month project will involve some 300 rock anchors to be drilled into and anchored d

. >>> with christmas now behind us, the city of san francisco is urging its residents to recycle theiristmas trees and give them another life. >> this morning, a giant chipper transformed christmas trees into mulch as part of the annual christmas tree collection program. city officials say the program will help san francisco make progress towards its goal of achieving zero waste by 2020. a two-week tree collection is set to begin on january 2nd on regular service days. the city is just asking residents to bring their trees to the curb and not place them a ton of talent. just needs help to make the most of it. >> a little bit here, a little bit there, try to make sure i'm staying up on things. it's hard to break habits in- season. you don't want to completely try to change something because it can throw off everything else you're doing. >> there's value there. quarterbacks are always trying to, you know, improve their play and find something, find one thing or find two things to help, to get better, and colin's always been that type of player. >>> from k asm p to alex smith, who will mi
