this is to build among other things an internal data where we can use for our analytics and controllers office is interested in what we are doing. it would also allow us to bring a lot of the dashboard work in-house and us to be able to automate reporting. again, a limited duration position because we feel that we can put a beginning and an end to it. i failed to mention that one of the things when we were putting the packages together we felt that what makes sense for the department in order to be compliant with what the mayor's office and others would like us to do in trying to fund some of the things ourselves and ask for the other. the upgrading the benefits is clearly a major proposal that the city needs to get around and is involved with and that's why that would go to the general fund. optimizing the health system performance through an alyticals, we would look to other revenues to cover that. and comply with state and local legislation. that is really to allow us to as i said get pro actively track changes in federal state and local stages in our work that would have collecting analyzing and presentation in health data

in the past we asked for funding to actually do this project from beginning to end and we weren't successful. they like the idea but they didn't want to give us all that money. now we are asking for i believe $50,000 to do the planning, the review, get somebody from the outside and somebody from the inside who know about phones and works with our department of technology and plan so that we go back to request money from the general fund that we'll have a better idea and they will be more apt to fund it. the section one is about reviewing the plan and file room. this is the same project that we had requested the committee liked but couldn't get funded but it was too big and the planning the really honing in on exactly what we need to do and how we would do it would be the first phase that we would requested and more likelihood of getting it funded. the third is a placeholder to replace our pc's. we are really well positioned from last year's purchases but in the next two years we are going to have to get additional funding. the next steps upon your approval we have to submit the budget to the mayor's office on february 21st it's a charter mand

would say nothing, and it is passed and it sounds like they are very, foolish thing for me and for us to do, and at a minimum for the public relations standpoint. >> commissioner keen i certainly do not disagree with your point of view on this. you may want to bring it up again at the end of the meeting and perhaps it should be calendared at a future meeting where we can discuss it further and make a decision about whether or not we want to change the procedure as commissioner hur indicated. so, it might make a note about that. i have a different view and i am not sure that i understand commissioner's keane's concerns, because this stimulation lays out the factses and it is a public document. and the public can read it and all that we are being asked is to say that we concur with the findings that have been set forth here, and if we were to, if we, if there is a question about accepting the facts, as i understand it, that would have to be done under california law, under a private hearing, not in a public hearing. this is so that the newspapers can read this and laid out what she did and wh

hear from you rose mary, because i haven't heard a clear staff recommendation about what you'd like us to do. my understanding of both the health department ordinance and asbestos and led so we're talking about remediation, not abatement. for that you don't need a permit, but you need to follow the code, which is to hire somebody who is properly certified and do it in a certain way. the cleaning is cheap, but compared to the work. they have to do the work later, but the very first thing they need to do is the cleaning and that is what i think maybe is not being done without the threat of enforcement. and i actually would like that to stand so -- >> i want you to issue the order because we can be in protracted ed disagreements between these parties forever and i have to deal with health and safety issues. i think with the testimony that i have heard, i think the order should be issued because that's the very least that needs to happen. we're ordered to make sure that everybody understands the department is serious about this. they can still try and work through their issues, but we're not sev

to have in their tool cap. >> i totally understand people's concerns. i believe it is a useful tool. its primary value is agility. it allows us to do in minutes what would otherwise take us an hour. i will explain what i mean. if a terrorist is identified in the united states, we want to understand, is there a network that we are facing. we take any telephone numbers connected to that terrorist attack and in the absence of 215, i would use the legal process that we use everyday. by subpoenaing each of the telephone companies, i would find out if there is a network connected to the terrorist. that would take hours. this tool allows us to do that in minute. in most circumstances, that would not be a material difference, except when it matters most. it is a useful tool because of the agility it offers. it is a healthy discussion to talk about what might replace that. i want folks to understand what the trade-off would be in that diminution in agility. that is what matters most to the fbi. >> thank you. that is very helpful. >> thank you, madam chairman. i want to compliment you on how you put together your statement here. you have put

to farmers. and today dupont is reaching 35,000 additional farmers, and we're in dialogue about how do we get to three million through partnerships with us and local partners there. the most important part of that, of course, has nothing to do with -- it's all about what's going on at the farm household level. these are farmers who, you know, are usually barely subsistence producers. maybe they'll sell a little bit of extra food on the market if they have produced it. and often have a two to three-month period during the year that everyone refers to as the hungry season when kids and mothers and fathers go without food or without adequate nutrition. the bottom line is for these 35,000 households, they've now beaten that. they're producing significantly more food, they're selling it in commercial markets, reinvesting their profits and increasing their food production, and this is the path to end widespread hunger without giving out food but, rather, relying on the industry and enterprise of small businessmen and women which is who these small farmers are. so in my view, this approach works, and it's a reason to do more of this, not an exc

there's no table bring that to us and give the an opportunity to generate some goodwill and give us a little bit of our due. we agree about the park issue tell us what you need us to dohank you. thank you >> anyone else who wants to make any public comment? any public comment on this item? seeing none, public comment is closed. >> commissioners i think we've been advised this budget is going to the mayor tomorrow. we need to act today >> moved and seconded. >> i want to say one i said like to remind the commission this is a budget to celebrate we've had four or five years of role difficult budgets and you know, i think rachel norton from the parks alliance let's not forget we have a long way to go but it's nice to talk about reinvestment and the priorities we're reinvesting in come from san francisco's that deprives we're proud of it so i wanted to remind you of that b.a. before you take this vote. i lastly want to thank our director of the commission i want to say we're extraordinarily lucky to have katie an incredible integrity you want that most which all in the director of finance administration i'll so proud of her leadership during our budget process >> well sa

we try to provide input in various ways. >> if these agencies do not listen to you? enough, ourngly statute requires us to tell congress that we recommended the agency do something and they did not follow our advice. we are required by law to report when that happens. to anant to take you back earlier position about how you might have handled reporting on the section 215 program, had it not been declassified. one of your recommendations is that the government report publicly on the scope of surveillance activities that affect americans. how much could you have made public? said there is a program that collects telephone metadata? what came out in testimony earlier this week is our board had been briefed on the 215 program, and the person who was briefing us was hit by a car on a bike and it had to be rescheduled. we operate in an area where there is a lot of classified information. are able to push for declassification to help the american people understand a program. if we find aspects of the program or the entire program where we think there is a public going towe consider the intelligence community

which has been very difficult -- not very difficult, but challenging for us to all collaborate and come together but what we'd like to do is really craft a message that we think is a collaboration of all of us that we can -- and we can represent the ecocenter very well. so what we want is for everyone to enjoy the ecocenter but we are going to specifically target low income families through the connections that we have with the housing authority and other affordable housing project developers to reach youth that can benefit from the ecocenter's programs and opportunities and it's not just youth but it's the families as well. and over the next several weeks we'll continue to work very diligently to really plan a message but also a community event to re-introduce the ecocenter to the neighborhood. >> all right, and so on this next slide here, this is one of our mechanisms for really engaging the community. we initially had a community advisory committee, we just renamed it to the ecocenter advisory committee because there's a lot of cac's out there. but the goal for the ecocenter is really to, we understand that engaging

to do, similarly on their side. so, further, this is not to restrict it to any city department. this gives us -- this is sort of a place holder to give us the expenditure authority and we need to do the next steps which would be to sort of identify what department is the most appropriate department. >> just a follow-up, the department of finance has not put any other kind of special instructions on this other than it has to go to capital improvements? >> that's just a tax exempt bond restriction for any tax exempt bob proceed. the department of finance restrictions, i think it does mention it needs to be consistent with the original bond covenants which we would have to do anyway because we can't violate the bond covenants. those were tied more to you can't do it until you get your finding of completion which we got at the end this last fiscal year. so, we didn't sort of have it ready to go toed up. we got the first tranche out there with the first items on 13 14 b and now this is ~ closing out those remaining nonhousing excess bond proceeds. >> gotcha. >> again, i'm fixated on western additi

avenues as well for commission review. >> but in terms of what we're going to do --. >> i'm just trying to find out what uses we're trying to have more of. >> so are we. >> okay. >> maybe you could explain the need for what brought us to the need for doing a new eir and then when we come back for the contract approvals or whatever we come back with next we could share more vision. >> diane with the planning and development division. years ago, and commissioner brandon will probably remember this, there were a number of different leases and port projects that we wanted to do in the southern waterfront and we did do an environmental impact report to cover those. that klud the illinois street bridge, probably the biggest one of the improvements. that eir, it was done so long ago that it actually is no longer current in terms of providing information about environmental impacts. so if we're going to be looking at proposed improvements in the southern waterfront we would have to undergo ceqa again. it is preliminary and i would, if the maritime staff wants to kick me under the table they are free to do so, but ge

to do to let people know. and how to do this and make sure that they are up to speed, on these processes, because electronic filing, is something that campaigns are used to, but the city officials have not used the electronic filing systems as much and so we have to make sure because we are going kind of cold turkey we are not easting into it, everything is going electronic and someone is work og that and we also get someone for six to eight weeks or a couple of months to help out. and sometimes we have backlogs of basic clerical work, and that is someone that is just making a few dollars a hour and frees up the staff to do the other things. >> thank you. >> i have a question about going to all of the electronic filing and will that eventually reduce our staff >> the need for the amount of staff that we have? >> it might in the long term, because, once the people who are able to do we may not need as many people, although, as the time goes by, we have also learned that either through the acts of the board or the ballot measure things we get the additional responsibilities and sometimes the state law, you know we have to function to fill those and so a

to do with nuclear weapons and could again lead to nothing. >> so it seems there's two tracks here. one is to try to figure out what iran used to do in terms of trying to develop a nuclear weapon or weaponize it. then there's another track about what they could do in the future. >> that's right. they are linked, though. it's very hard if you're an inspector or analyst to say we can give you confidence there's not a nuclear weapons program today, if you don't know about the past. you don't know what was done. you don't know what they accomplished. you don't know where they did it, who did it. therefore that whole infrastructure created could pop back into existence in secret and move forward on nuclear weapons. so the history is very important. i think they have made it clear in this case and others that it really can't give iran a clean bill of health until it understands the history. >> in the weeks leading up to these talks, it seems positions have gotten more hardened in terms of the u.s. wants the entire nuclear program dismantled and iranians want all the sanctions gone. >> the u.s. is willing to give on the size of the

hundred ninety countries including the united states have agreed to made a commitment to try to do that and i tells us that if we are going to do that most of those carbon reserves need to stay in the ground so for one that should be the signal right now that all of those companies need to begin diversifying their their businesses and you know b.p. i think made for a few years ago and decided to jump into solar in a really really big way there's no reason that these companies certainly over time and right now given where. we are instead of investing their time and energy into stopping climate policies from coming into position bay could help shape them and they could begin as they think they are there's a lot there was another study also in the. new york times i think that showed that most of these companies are already figuring in a carbon price when they are doing their forecast profit and loss and business planning so they know this is coming exactly keeping it in the ground i think is going to be the it's going to be really really hard but we do have the time to begin putting in the policies in pl

so students who are used to taking an ap test or sat test, they can do a 2-hour test. but students who are used to quizzes that are 15 minutes long and i know from firsthand experience even with my son who said after half hour, a lot of the students are asleep or they are throwing paper or just not engaged. this is not only an academic preparation. this is also about a resiliency, a mind-set and stamina preparation. are we including this when we are looking at this scaffolding of information and how we are doing rolling out the common core. i feel that our students would be at a disadvantage because many of our students in the general ed track because they have not had this practice of increased stamina of taking a test. a 2-hour test for many of our students in classrooms, in classes that are 55 minutes long, they have never taken a 2-hour test and they weren't expecting them to do it. i just want to ensure our students are getting the best possible advantage where the technology divide in san francisco. what are we going to do with that. another one, el's much more wr
