supervisor dufty. supervisor dufty: it was important for me to have the neighborhood reflect on this. the last thing i would want to do is bring something forward presumptuous way without the neighborhood and then have jane's memory caught up in people being for or against. with so many diverse viewpoints, the fact that everybody has been so supportive of it is emblematic to why it is important that this plaza be named for jane. also, this week, they will be having the castro street fair. this year, it will be dedicated in her memory, so with that, i would like to send this item for to the full board with recommendations. supervisor chu: supervisor avalos has seconded. without objection. >> item 4. ordinance amending the san francisco police code by amending section 1295 to exempt nonprofit organizations conducting educational tours from the requirement to obtain a guide permit. supervisor chu: thank you. mr. burns? >> i am here on behalf of supervisor alioto-pier, who is at a funeral and cannot be her

commissioner dufty. supervisor dufty: one of the big improvement i have seen in terms of street scape on a market is when the northwest corner bart was replaced with open design. i think that would be great for market street. those bunkerish transit entrances lead to problems. >> absolutely, in terms of looking at their design, the balkan mess, the number and location of them, is all on the table. that discussion lends itself to not only improve in the urban design of the streetscape, but also fitting in other mobil facility that we may want to try to accommodate. supervisor dufty: i do not know if i missed this, but holiday plaza. i know there are problems with it being so concave. >> i do believe there is some work happening. holiday plaza and others along the corridor are all in this scope. supervisor dufty: does anybody here have anything specific as it relates to holiday plaza? >> i know there are some ideas that have been put out there by puc. i know that there were suggestions of how raising the p

commissioner dufty? supervisor dufty: i appreciate the questions and your opening comments. i have served on this board for many years. i have felt overwhelmingly the plans and planninprograms commie have removed any thing on to the cold war without recommendations. because there are so many moving parts here, it might make sense to do that. at the appropriate time, i might want to offer a motion to send this to follow toward is with the recommendation to give them the opportunity. supervisor campos: thank you. your point is well taken. we try to finalize the work as much as we can but i think we are dealing with unusual circumstances right now, given everything that is going on in city hall. commissioner david chiu. supervisor chiu: i have been thinking about this for quite some time. as many of you know, i pushed forward a more significant measure dealing with this. given the debate we are having in the city, in other committees around potential revenue measures, my concern is we are very selective as a body and what we are placing on the ballot. while i think there is a l

i would like to thank supervisor dufty for bringing up this resolution. i had some experience dealing with jane warner, and i wanted to mention it here because i think it is something that shows her real character. i had talked with her different times on the phone, and even though i was an ordinary citizen, even though the two of us had never met, she was so kind and gracious to spend time talking to me and trying to help me with advice as to the causes i was working here at city hall. she was very supportive and, obviously since we had never met, i did not even know that she was sick, but when i called her, she would take the time to speak with me, and she would always encouraged me not to get discouraged, no matter how much opposition i encountered in my dealings here at city hall. one of the things that impressed me was that even though she had adversary's against herself, she always gave me the impression that she believed so firmly in her room cause that she was willing to work endlessly to be successful -- even though she had adversaries. even thou

[inaudible] commissioner kim: do we sell fast passes at school? that is new information to me. >> i have not verified that. we can get more information about that, how it was done through schools. it can be very valuable. commissioner kim: one of the challenges is the amount of work " we're and end -- we're handing to our school counselors. which middle school were you at? >> it was seventh grade, a little while ago. commissioner kim: we do want to work with these commissions in advertising the lifeline passes. you can do better out -- then we can -- outreach than we can. you can create fires for the schools and the commissioners can be spokespeople. i think the word will spread faster through you than for us. you brought up a couple of points, but i don't remember them. the you have the question

supervisor chu: supervisor dufty? supervisor dufty: thank you for being here, mr. lee, on behalf of the bureau of environmental health management. we have heard support for this legislation. i just want to add, since supervisor alioto-pier cannot be here this morning, she asked that i offer some words in addition to the value of having restaurant appreciation month. i certainly think it gives all of us in our districts an opportunity to celebrate the importance that restaurants play to who we are, the identity of the city, a an attraction that an attraction that people from all over the world come to visit for. i think this is a good way to a acknowledge the work that restaurants have done for the city. we established rating systems, a lot of requirements that they have met us on. i see that stephanie is here from supervisor alioto-pier's office. if you would like to add some words -- >> thank you, supervisor dufty. this is just supervisor alioto- pier's idea to recognize the restaurants and the vitality that they contribute to san francisco. it is a symbol ordinan

supervisor dufty: commissioner kim. commissioner kim: in terms of the schools you will be adding -- >> is the question which ones? we decided that we are going to invite all of the elementary schools to participate. we're going to send an invite to all of them. they will respond to us, and we will look at the criteria we have. we do want to ensure geographic equity to make sure that at least one if not more is in each supervisory district across the city. we want to make sure that half of their students are living within a mile of the school, and what helps launched a program is to see if they have participated in any evidence that show an interest. but have they participated in walking to school days before? we look at the applications we have received and pick the schools that way. commissioner kim: and just because it is a program that is already being initiated, there are some community groups and other organizations that are working with safe passages for children to walk back and forth, and they actually partner w

supervisor dufty. supervisor dufty: i just want to say that this has been a complicated appeal because i do feel that the preponderance of neighborhood testimony is in support. i am also concerned about the saturation of pet food express and how many more this city can absorb and i don't feel that right now that there are the tools to look and understand those issues, and i do think, going forward, it's something that we need to understand, not just what a neighborhood is comfortable with, but also what are the implications for the diversity of small businesses. so i am wrestling a bit with this one, but i do recognize that from the testimony and the letters, i do feel that there is neighborhood support for this applicant. president chiu: supervisor. supervisor carmen chu: . supervisor carmen chu: supervisor carmen chu: thank you, president chiu. i want to say, thank you to the many individuals who did come out today, in particular, a lot of the small businesses who i do know it is difficult to take th

commissioner dufty the poles are removed. in that case, the objective is to eliminate the wires underground that have a number of benefits to it. and they apply a utility user's tax dedicated to undergrounding, but given the climate and the attitude towards revenue measures, hopefully it is something we can get a dedicated source of funding and we can work towards that as members of the task force tried to think of ways to get the program going. the west side of town, the southeast portions of town, supervisor mar's portion of town has almost no undergrounding. commissioner schmeltzer: thank you, it occurs to me that there must be issues of undergrounding in new jersey as well, and maybe they have thought about what their plan is to make sure they don't lose their investment as different neighborhoods or community's move to or from undergrounding. perhaps there has already been some thought that has got into this. we do have other things that are disconnected, or easily connected such as street lights or other things that are

supervisor dufty: you sort of answered it, but some of the ideas that are in the pipeline or might be new ideas. >> exactly. if you look at publicly available resources, there are several dozens of projects cropping up in northern california that we'll be able to access. there are also a wealth of opportunities, some that were listed in the r.f.p. itself to develop solar and distribute fuel cell resources and things like that right here in the city. additionally to reduce the renewable and energy efficiency and demand response programs, one of our subcontractors is the leading demand response provider in california where they are responsible for both capacity bidding lists, edison and as well as san diego gas and electric and they are also the largest demand response provider currently in the pg&e portfolio. so we contacted them directly to be able to leverage their expertise for the city and county of san francisco. commissioner vietor: great, that's part of what i wanted to hear. energy on the table and a direction we should get aggressive with. one last question. i think there is g
