the full commission for presentation. that way, we can streamline some of these processes. >> thank you. any additional comments questions? thank for excellent update pertaining or - [inaudible]. >> thank you. >> no public comment for that item. item eight is other business. if there is none we can move onto conference committee reports the health commission will hear a brief summary of the march 14, 2017 lhh jcc meeting. commission councilmember sanchez you have report back for the march 14th. 2017 lhhjcc meeting. >> this is the joint conference committee of lh our open session our committee review. the update on the planned discharged the lh team additional update on the status report. it was comprehensive and enheightening and showed the unique collaboration with the overall baselines of the department and how we're all working towards the same goals and outcomes the committee reviewed the administrator's report and approved hospital wise policy and procedures and the unique highlights within the administrative reports

you know, i would commend the wheeler commission and the commission before it to be looking at ways -- or and julius genachowski -- to shift money toward broadband, toward these problems, toward use of new technologies, a wireless fund, funds more targeted to broadband. i think all of that is very thoughtful and on the right track. and if i were congress, i would continue to look to working with the fcc to solve the problem as opposed to create new program, new institution, new funneling member anymore. >> host: given the economies of scale, to you see further consolidation and maybe some cross-pollination in the industry to get some of this buildout? >> guest: no, no, i don't. i don't think that consolidation or scale or the explicit purpose of more economically serving rural parts of the country is necessarily in the offing. if anything, you see a lot of major wired infrastructure companies reordering their portfolio that way meaning particularly the phone companies who -- verizon in particular has been selling off, you you know, fixed lines and diversifying their businesses into ot

with multiple hours in the commission ones a month other commissions that don't meet as neither here nor there as long as we meet so i wanted to mention i don't purposing forgot the public in in any comments who can make the hearings i've heard those people really prefer things later so have at a later date work during the day the challenge we have so many things who will care about what we can't have the agenda after a work day we'll be like drs who work the night shift here until 3:00 or 4:00 in the morning i said that knowing that i'm caring about you know the public being able to engage in the hearing but being worked out realistic what can realistically happen after the workday. >> thank you director rahaim. >> a couple of thoughts for the staff perspective staff can work either way generally a meeting for earlier so the only question i have for jonas do you need time to change the notices for notification purposes. >> no there is no important time it is up to the commission it is an agenda well in advance of what the minimum requirement is and for example, we regularly schedule

the commission has the authority to adopt rate caps, i agree the commission has the right to regulate this. the d.c. circuit highlighted the stays of the orders the fcc has had and we are working through those. my commitment to you, regardless of case, we want to make sure the fcc does everything within its legal authority to fix this problem and we will be happy to work with you on this. trembling trade would you like to the table for the work he did last year at the rate of return reform orders. i've heard from nebraska companies who opted into the cost model and were pleased with the result and i appreciate your efforts. i continue to hear concerns from nebraska carriers that they are not permitted to get universal service support they provide single about the service what you must charge customers hundreds of dollars a month to recover their costs forve standalone broadband. do you have any thoughts on ways we can solve the problem several customers have the option to buy affordable standalone broadband service? >> thank you for the question, senator. i've seen it in places and i

could also bring the topic to your commission the commission is currently discussing. we have an off leash dog walking subcommittee. we are looking at trying to find locations to have off leash dog walking permitted. in part, this is because of the possible large restrictions in the golden gate national park areas that are going to drastically eliminate quite a few those off leash areas. we have identified certain areas in the city. one of which is the top portion of sure park beach which is maintained by the city of san francisco. so, our director has outreach to some your staff members to at least initiate that discussion. i think the meeting is going to be planned for sometime in march or april pulley start that discussion. i just want to bring it to your attention that we are looking at that as a possible area to at least possibly have that. the only thing i would say is not really try to create something new. if you're familiar with that area, off leash dog walking actually happens frequently. so we are simply looking at making it allowed activity. so to speak. re
