Policies in place and better streets plan and the mayors pedestrian strategy prop b i dont know how many more times the voters and the mayor can say we want safer and complete streets. And yet we have this push back and sometimes it seems like the political will is not there to say we need to move forward with these projects so i wonder if you can comment on how to go about doing that because its been a lot of frustration for a lot of us. I feel that were seeing when the outreach is done with a lot of inand good afternoon, everyone and welcome to our first full budget and finance Committee Meeting for 2014.

We came to seven straight about 10 years ago. 7th street about 10 years ago. The environment is huge. It is stronger than willpower. Surrounding yourself with artists, being in a culture where artists are driving, and where a huge amount of them is a healthy environment. You are making it safer. Push, push. That is better. When i start thinking, i see it actually sometimes, i do not see it, but when i do, it is usually from the inside out. It is like watching something being spawned. You go in, and you begin to work, excavate, play with the dancers, and then things began to emerge. You may have a plan that this is what i want to create. Here are the ideas i want to play with, but then, you go into the room, and there maybe some fertile ideas that are becoming manifest that are more interesting than the idea you had initially set out to plan. So there has to be this openness for spontaneity. Also, a sense that regardless of the deadline, that you have tons of time so the you can keep yo
A race only oracle can win thats not a thing about the americas cup. By righttwo thats the highest level of quoting they have a tack all composition i want to request as the negotiations go forward i ask and appreciate your discussion as how the costs wont be as high because weve done the performance already so in the future Fire Department i think it make sense that we are able to understand get a better commitment from alison and oracle about, you know, they would pay more for using our facilities. Thats my part and we said the Business Plan is going to have to be wellthoughtout supervisor campos. Thank you, mr. Chair. Thank you supervisor avalos for calling for this hearing i think its long overdue. And following up on the question that supervisor avalos asked about oracle and mr. Alison how do we know he lost money. I want to be sure were careful about making statement we know their accurate. I imagine mr. Alison will say he lost money this is in my opinion without reviewing the in
Going to take years for some accountability. Now, there is also this issue of the Fire Department guy who was drunk and created an accident, almost a year ago. Still no indictment. What this has to do with the rogue cops is a rogue fire officer. We dont see the criminal Justice System gearing up to take those folks into the criminal Justice System and hold them accountable. And i think that one thing that the Police Department really needs to look at, is putting George Gascon before the cameras, putting him in the hot seat, to answer questions of why did all of this happen on your watch, and on the day that the indictments are coming down he is holding a state of the district attorneys office. And excuse me. There is an attempt there, i believe to obscure his role in what went down. Thanks for the Public Comment any further comments on these issues. Hearing none, the Public Comment is closed and call the line item. Four, hearing on a disciplinary charges filed against assistant patrol
Good afternoon again, commissioners. Eric brooks. So, i just wanted to encourage the lafco in any Energy Endeavors that it goes forward with to definitely since he spoke today, you probably know that one of the recommendationses we made to you folks is to use department of environment staff as well. Weve seen that they have been ready to go on program like cleanpowersf and doing other Renewable Energy projects and efficiency projects and their involvement will be key. Along the same lines, in a little bit of a critical vein, it would be good to know whats going on with the Climate Action plan that was recently put out because originally it mentioned cleanpowersf, among other things, and now its not the same. It would be good to find out when were going to have a hearing on that and maybe in lafco if necessary. And then finally, one of the thing that will make it possible to fund the clean energy is to develop a public bank and we hadnt heard much about that. So, just wanted to get the
