the brown act for decades has ensured that meetings by local agencies are open to members of the public and they have an at some point to observe the meetings and can make comments at those meetings. that applies to all board of supervisors and those in san francisco. however every meeting of the board of supervisors and commission available to the public they are barriers to youth 18 and younger namely the public hearings when youth aren't able to attend and provide their input. we have reviewed trouble youth data that don't care at all about government politics and/or only a little bit interested in government and politics. we believe the more opportunities to testify in front of elected officials in san francisco could provide more gauge engagement. the brown act has an elected body that may impose requirements upon itself under the jurisdiction which allows greater access at the minimal standards. by that we hope the board will do this. youth currently can't vote and choose the board of supervisors. can't make policy decisions and at this point you can't even provide input during pu

governor brown declared a state of emergency and called on californians to reduce their water energy by 20 percent. the sf puc is asking can ustomers to voluntary reduce their water usage by 10 percent. the department is outlining actions to reduce the water and develop alternative sources of water. today i would like to ask puc and department of environment to address the topic. no. 1, the current water supply and projection for 2014 and 2015. and the plans how we will meet the puc's goal of a 10 percent usage reduction. no. 3, and overview of city water unl by the department. what are the departments doing in terms of consumption and conservation and who is doing well and not. no. 4, how are we protecting the water system, maintaining and updating and improving the water structure and guarding for fire and funding for immediate projects. no. 5, long-term planning. how are we planning for population growth. what are we doing to find sources water whether it be desaulization and i know puc grant was putting a proposal on hold and i would like to hear more about that. what are the dep

with brown and tolley. then there is the stretch target. say the initial target is x, then the next target is 10 percent below that and we have a stretch and sometimes the percentage allocation is higher or lower depending on if we are doing a 50/50 split. that's what we are trying to show you on page 11. so that we want everybody to be aware that those exist. then there is a second thing is an example of how this works on page 12. so talk to your target is 550, second tier is 510 and final pay out level is 490. so if you cross over 550, and you go to 510, there will be a certain allocation of the money on a certain split. then if you go down, i didn't make this super complicated and fancy. once you are at 490, no more pay out. with that, we have an example. they get to 530 as an example. there is a $20 difference in the average cost per member per month in the entire year. they have 20,000 people times 12 and the allocation is 50 percent. that turns out to be $2.4 million that is now paid from the trust to

decision if, in fact, we had the residents and students that live in the 4124 actually enroll in willie brown junior middle school that would be the most difference school in the city of san francisco over 70 percent of the students in the bay area go-go elsewhere the investment the board is making into willie brown junior middle school because we have a choices system the reputation that schools carry with them sometimes very undesirable is in the process we want to make sure that is a strong statement we're confident in the school that students that go to the school obey successful in my high school they go to and part of the direction to think of ways to incentivize residents of 94124 to look at willie brown i forget the other question. >> the process one this has to be made now because the timeline is such there's no way it has to be decided one way or another tonight and the second around the process if there's i mean what we do if we make the decision we recognize we're uncomfortable with the like a timeline what more can we do or move forward to address that to kind of have that discus

on the hope of giving people the chance to hope to bring themselves gay, black and white and yellow brown and it is time for our president to bring the habitat for humanity back to this country, thank you. >> thank you. >> are there any other members of the public that wish to speak in public comment? >> hi, i guess, that we have something that bothers me is that the homeless community is not this mono community that everyone speaks of. i just feel like i have a homeless friend and he probably has an iq of 150. he is just highly intelligent. all that he really needed was an opportunity the recommendation to this body is to call in your unions and your labor unions and your medical unions. and call in your tech, you know, everybody, is beefs up on twitter, but call those people and call the video game manufacturers, and see how they can change some of the homeless and train them and also see what type of jobs that they can actually provide for these people. and not only, and it is not a mono community and some of them and the homeless has those skills and they just need the opportunities a

people to have the services at willie brown and participation to if we think that you know how if this is undermining the other 2350erd patterns and see if we can't do something about that >> thank you commissioner wynns. >> i want to follow up i think upper talking about mri aluminum and it makes we unsees e easy i'll support it for now but we need to watch that closely. that makes we nervous we're saying oh, we'll add a bus to mri alumiiralom miraloma. we don't offer transportation in a cohort way i understand the reasoning and i'm sort of i guess i'm supportive of that fore now again, it feels like a one of oh, we feel like we have a bus over here we had that with our previous transportation system it makes me feel like we're moving in the wrong direction because if we're going to have a transportation system let's have a coherent one that makes sense >> i hope that's not true but i don't think it is because i think that commissioner nortons point is well-taken we should or i'm suggesting as a followup we should look at a transportation system at the same time, we look at things lik

might, when these commissioner charges were filed, i had actually gotten a chance to speak to officer brown after they were filed and i think that it was last wednesday night or a couple of wednesdays ago when we were present for the commission in talking to officer brown about other cases that we began to discuss the case and she stated that he was in compliance and so the thought it been should we turn it back to the chief level to see if there were further decisions. he is in compliance and certain things came in at concern times and did not come in at once but he has been working with her and that she was pleased with the progress and the fact that he was in compliance and i know that officer brown has been working hard with these special cases. >> i am sorry, but thank you for clarifying that. that helps a lot. because i heard a refusal to comply and now i am hearing that there was no refusal to comply but working diligently. >> i think that there was difficulty in communication with the patrol specialist and brown, and at least what was described in the investigative report and so we
