supervisor mirkarimi: anything to add? >> i have nothing else to add. >> january 2012 is when i believe the second phase is rolled in. supervisor mirkarimi: the theory would be the based on the success of the first phase, that would help inform the potential marketing to recruit for the second phase customers, correct? >> i believe so. i believe that was part of their logic. i believe they have several different reasons, but that was part of it. also, it was easier for them to get started enrolling, making sure they get all the kinks out of the system. the problems they had before they do the mass of rollout. supervisor mirkarimi: but pg&e can also anticipate the second phase as well and try to interfere, curtail, or compete with that process. >> according to cpuc, they should not, but we have seen them ignore that in the past. supervisor mirkarimi: very good. thank you for that report. colleagues, questions or comments? seeing none, thank you. public comment on this item? seeing none, public comment is closed. if it is ok

commissioner mirkarimi: i agree. i think the synergy would be beneficial, not adjusted lafco but to the city and county of san francisco. everything i have known about ms. pimentel and what i have seen on the flyer -- by the way, really nice flyer. it went really well. together, quite a dynamic duo. i think it would work very well for everybody. colleagues, can we take that? >> mr. chairman, shall we have a motion to recuse commissioner schmeltzer from voting? commissioner campos: so move. commissioner mirkarimi: so move. commissioner avalos: i wanted to echo the comments of my colleagues here on lafco, and supervisor bevan dufty had actually taken the words out of my mouth. i was going to make that recommendation as well. i keep apologizing. there's no need to do that. commissioner, i wanted to thank you for your eight years so far, and they do look forward to continue to work with the. for ms. pimentel, thank you for applying, and i look forward to working with you, and i think you could bring great perspective to

commissioner mirkarimi: ok. it has been a little while since we have actually formalized the reappointment or consideration of a vacant seat. colleagues, any comments on this? please. commissioner campos: my understanding is there are two applicants for the seat. is that correct? commissioner mirkarimi: in addition to mr. bornstein who would require a waiver, we would have leah pimentel and our sitting commissioner schmeltzer. >> that is correct. if he is removing himself, that would be two applicants in the full right now. commissioner mirkarimi: i did not mean to say that he is. i just wanted to say he is sensitive to the fact that he will be living outside the city, and he articulated that. commissioner campos: i do not know if there is also an opportunity to hear from the two applicants. and is trying to understand the process. >> it was my envision that we would follow the same process you do with rules committee with commissioners where they would get a chance to speak, but that would be up to you to decid

chairperson mirkarimi: thank you, mr. harrington, i appreciate the process we have made and you're right, the collaboration has been extraordinary over the last six months. i would like to take an opportunity, it's important that we hear from lafco staff, mr. fried and to introduce to you another member of our team. >> thank you very much, chair. jason freed, lafco staff. i wanted to introduce a new staff person. carolyn tang who is our new community development assistant. she will be bringing to lafco a lot of prior experience. prior to this, she had been working for r.m. design group which is a lot of planning. she did a lot of community outreach for them around the planning process when they were presenting what they wanted to build. she has a lot of san francisco-specific experience. she is a member of spur and sfbc as well as a volunteer with the green difference, s.f. green drinks is a very proud resident of district eight. we're proud to have her as a member of this organization. chairperson mirkarimi: and if i'm n

chairperson mirkarimi: mr. campbell, just to round out this particular item, the next stage that i think that you have would be the negotiation stage beyond the protest period once it expires with power choice, l.l.c., is that correct? >> correct. chairperson mirkarimi: so some of the elements that had been remarked by members of the p.u.c. commission and lafco could also be entertained as possible conditions as part of that negotiation process? >> guidance in terms of elements to focus on a policy perspective and then negotiations are more than welcome to our team. chairperson mirkarimi: very good. so this isn't by my reading of the situation and understanding of our own process, by any stretch of the imagination, where the window is closed. in fact, it's where the window is more open for the city and the lead vendor to entertain what those negotiable elements are, correct? >> yes. chairperson mirkarimi: very good. ok. if there are no further questions, i would like to open it up to public comment for these pa

supervisor mirkarimi: ok. >> hi, again. commissioner schmeltzer also request lafco staff to research on the solar program that we got wind of. it is a program being conducted by the largest publicly owned utility in the state called public service electric and gas company. they are installing 200,000 solar units that consist of a solar panel and a communications system on utility poles and street lights throughout the state of new jersey. this program is expected to produce 40 megawatts of energy when it is completed in 2012. and something in florida is looking at a similar program, testing the similar solis system produced by a company in new jersey, and it just got with the that there are representatives here that might be able that answer some of your questions if you have a. a little bit of background about these units. do we have the image up? that is what it looks like. pretty self-explanatory. from my research, i found that the cost is about $6.44 for each what produced -- watt produced. in terms of financing, they p

supervisor mirkarimi: thank you. good move. chairperson avalos: deputy chief, if you could discuss what is the difference between the presidio trust, in terms of the maximum annual agreement fee, and verses -- reverses -- versus the national park service. another is a different function these entities have. -- i know there is a different function these entities have. >> we were hoping we would be able to negotiate one contract, circumstances providing, since we are providing the same service to both agencies. but since they are separate federal agencies they have separate requirements. we negotiate overall the fee of $4.30 million. they came back to us and told us what their payments were going to be. that distribution was decided from their standpoint, the federal government. it was not decided on hours. we just figured out the fixed price combined, and move forward from there. to tell you what one pays 70% or whatever it might be, that would be a question for the national park service or presidio trust. chairperson avalos: bu

commissioner avalos: supervisor mirkarimi. commissioner mirkarimi: thank you. earlier this year we had a conversation with director martin and the question came up and wasn't answered at the time and said he would get back to us is this is considered san francisco property, correct? so that when businesses are contracting with the city, the question was is, what level of compliance was there our work force for source agreements for these contracts extended on airport property? so in this particular case, how would that play itself out in terms of their requirements and compliance in hiring people as it sees fit with our local first source hiring requirements? >> if memory serves, i know that we looked at the extensively during the budget process. i do think something was produced. i will make sure that whatever it was we gathered i get to you. my recollection is that the first source hiring requirements are part -- will be part of these new leases as they would be with any contract. we would use the language that the city requires us to use with any new contrac

supervisor mirkarimi? supervisor mirkarimi: thank you, mr. president. i would like to compliment supervisor avalos for his leadership and his office, and all the stakeholders who helped advance this legislation. and the stakeholders that are represented from a variety of perspectives who agree, disadepree or who remain indifferent on this particular legislation. one of the main motivations that i have in my early support of this is this. that is after participating a number of years in our budget area process, seeing a district like mine, as well as many others in a very denies urban city like san francisco, is that san francisco city and county is having a very difficult time in keeping up with the demand and the capacity of attending to those who have alcohol-related substance abuse problems. those particular problems often manifest themselves in a level of community and neighborhood frustration and a level of anxious and anxiety because of a lacks -- lacrosse, or perceived lacrosse or sluggish response by the government that they believe is on the sh

ok, supervisor mirkarimi? supervisor mirkarimi: thank you. good morning, capt. this was a helpful process that we started four years ago, in what was then the safety committee. it is now easier to read and understand, largely thanks to constat. what about part 2 crimes, other crimes that are not captured here? >> we can calculate that. i did bring that last time, but i did not bring it today. i can get that for you. supervisor mirkarimi: like your predecessors, who really had to do the extracurricular work of crunching numbers at home, when will that process stop so that we can have, with greater simplicity and access, other part two crimes that are not here? >> we can definitely work on that. they do not push out a part 2 crimes report like they do with this one, but i could get it to you within 30 minutes. supervisor mirkarimi: this has certainly been an area of interest. if generally, quality of life crimes. it would be helpful to get a city-wide perspective as to what those numbers are. there seems to be a lot of misinformation or speculation. it would be ni

supervisor mirkarimi: supervisor avalos: thank you supervisor elsbernd: -- supervisor mirkarimi: thank you. supervisor avalos: supervisor elsbernd. supervisor elsbernd: following up on the economic impact on jobs and the public sector job growth, i almost wonder if your section of the comptroller's office and the other section of the comptroller's office might want to communicate a little bit in that respectively over the next few years it would be a mistake to say that the budget will grow. looking ahead we know that we have a budget deficit. to say that new jobs will be created, would not be more accurate to say that we will retain jobs? instead of getting new jobs? >> you are absolutely right on that point. i do not want to give representation that this represents a gross of the public sector. these are jobs that will not be lost just because the city revenue is growing by $15 million in the context of the revenue loss experience. supervisor elsbernd: potentially there is retention of public- sector jobs but a net loss of private sector jobs. >> yes. supervisor elsbernd: what this r

supervisor mirkarimi? supervisor mirkarimi: can we do that on behalf of the whole board? president chiu: yes. supervisor mirkarimi: making it easy for the general public throughout the city and county of san francisco. things have changed, and so have our city codes, which of fallen behind the times. using the internet, access has been expanded greatly. however, when it comes to official notices, the city continues to focus on a pre- internet model, where notices are in tiny print out the back of the newspapers and are standard. -- in the back of newspapers. the city process of publishing public notices. there is the public's ability it to find these notices on the website. we had advanced to something on to the ballot and passed. this means towards a two-year budget process, and also changes the definition of notice and published, to remove the requirement that notice is published in an additional newspaper. the definitions were to be defined by an ordinance. that never happened. what this does is define published as posting on the city government website, posting on the

supervisor mirkarimi: motion to approve. >chairperson avalos: without objection, to the full board with recommendation. >> item 5, resolution authorizing the san francisco department of public health to accept a grant from the california office of traffic safety in the amount of $200,000 to fund the san francisco pedestrian safety project for october 1, 2010 through september 30, 2011. >> i work with the department of public health. this is from the office of traffic safety to help develop a city-wide pedestrian network, which will help us prioritize spending on infrastructure projects in the city regarding pedestrian safety. this is a collaborative grant with the planning department and the mta. chairperson avalos: very good. we can open this one up for public comment as well, for item number five. we will close public comment. supervisor mirkarimi: motion to approve. chairperson avalos: we will take that without objection. please call item six. >> resolution authorizing the sheriff's department to enter into a third amendm

duftyy aye, ebles, aye, mar, no, maxwell, maxwell aye, mirkarimi, mirkarimi no. there are five aye's and six nos. president chiu: so that motion failed. colleagues, are there any other motion. my understanding is if someone wants to make a motion to reverse that we take a vote on that and if that fails, the cu is affirmed. so, is there a motion to reverse the certification? supervisor elsbernd. supervisor elsbernd: i make a motion to table items 38, 39 and 40. president chiu: supervisor elsbernd has made a motion to table all these items. seconded by supervisor alioto-pier. colleagues, any discussion? do we need to take a roll call vote on that? do that without objection? okay. so if we could, we will be tabling this -- all three of these items. and being again, for members of the public, that means that by default the conditional use will stand. with that, why don't we proceed to the other items that we have today. i'd like to go to our 3:30 commendations. i understand we have a centenarian in our midsts that supervisor alioto-pier would like to recognize. super

supervisor mirkarimi: do we have representative from the airport? >> yes, [unintelligible] of the san francisco airport. supervisor mirkarimi: it ties into a very contemporary discussion we're having in the board of supervisors, but we do have it passed law that for habits city departments from of -- advertising alcohol and i was wondering how that is not factored into this particular deal. >> i believe that the clear channel contract at the airport prohibits alcohol advertising. if it is not specific, all advertisements must be approved by the airport design review committee and they would not approve an advertisement that had alcohol in it. in these cases i know we have looked at this issue regarding our duty-free shops. i cannot remember at the moment, right now, how it was settled. if we asked them not to do it or if they had an exemption. supervisor mirkarimi: maybe i can help, it is an alcohol ad ban that specifically says that the ban is to be applied to all new or permanent advertising contracts in -- contracts. as entered into or materially

carmen will give the that. >> supervisor mirkarimi. supervisor mirkarimi: i would like to join with supervisor maxwell and other colleagues to express our very strong concern about what has happened most recently in san bruno. the culture has manifested itself repeatedly in san francisco accidents in recent years. the outages at the substation as well as the bizarre string of manhole explosions including a transformer explosion that occurred last month, these are well documented business disruptions, personal injury, and property damage. it is especially troublesome in light of the frequent about that safety is the company's top priority. the emerging profile has been a concern to san francisco. it has high population and building density, not to mention the drain on police and fire resources. clearly, some public assurance is necessary. we know that there are a number of substantial pipelines that you cannot revealed for security reasons. last friday, the mayor tried to extract those locations at the san francisco city and county disa

regina from supervisor mirkarimi's office. he represents the fifth district of san francisco. and the lower haight is one of the areas he represents. and this particular, working with code enforcement as the captain said, in the city attorney's office there are 10 city attorneys one assigned to each station that deals with code enforcement. the code enforcement the city attorney pulls out the code enforcement teams to do the investigations on the properties. they will then bring in an inspector from health or building be it they have an officer with them in case there are safety issues. and if there is issues with an elderly person they might bring in adult protective service. from our office perspective -- being an organized neighborhood helps set the priorities of some of the properties that need attention in dealing with that have a tremendous effect on your neighborhood. and with my supervisor's position is being very closely connected to the community and having an organized community helps us so we can go to the city attorney and say we really this property up and have a

supervisor mirkarimi: thank you. first, we did not have a chance to make an opening statement, so i would like to thank the supervisor for his leadership on this measure

supervisor mirkarimi: when is a case resolved? in terms of victims services, when do they seem to be satisfied? is there payout for compensation? or will the victim's family basically say -- i just do not need any more. what is the assembly line process? >> that is on the victim or their family. typically we say that the case that iran's. the prosecution might be over or maybe there was no prosecution at all, but we have had victims come back years later, perhaps because they were victimized again. we are always there for them and we have a system with the advocates keep notes of their context of the service provided so that the victim comes back where left off. supervisor mirkarimi: does that include psychological services in terms of facilitating the connection to the victim or the family of the victim? >> yes. the victim compensation program has certain limits. if they exhaust that amount, they will not get any monetary benefits under the program. obviously, under our office that we are always available to them. if not the woul

supervisor chiu: supervisor mirkarimi? supervisor mirkarimi: thank you, mr. chair. i conquer with supervisors elsbernd and chair avalos. the consideration i would give this is that a letter was handed it me just a little while ago before this board meeting by mrs. chong. i don't want to divorce the fact that we all know her in a business capacity. we have to try to separate our personal relationships from the fact that there is a professional code that we must abide by. in that particular letter that i just saw evokes information that i think is worthy of the consideration act committee, which is why i will support this to go back, but only in the instance that is high bar is now presented back to anybody who wants to provide an alternative to this particular decision that has been rendered by the budget committee. at this stage i don't see what could upset or change that particular decision. something would then have to be advanced to make us think twice, and i don't know what that something would look like at this point. supervisor chiu: supervisor mar? supervisor
