they've been working with the california public utilities commission and just recently published a draft mitigated that's under going public comment and review right now. here are the routes that are being considered by the cpcu. there's two upland routes shown in green and red. and then the submerged route is shown in blue and all three routes would provide this tran mission update from patrero. the blue line would go underneath city streets and then there's directional drilling into the bay just north of pier 30. and that would -- the route would run three miles and then follow the transbay cable up to third street to get to the substation. once at the patrero substation, part of the station is building a new 230 kv switch yard to the existing switch yard in a much smaller foot length. on an anger of the site to the south of pier 70. i've gone over all of this. i'm going to skip this. there's quite a few approvals required for this project. the cpc is the lead agency there the project. they're analyzing the project from reliability to see if it provides the benefits. cpcu will be colle

, any person who's enrolled into covered california, they get 58 dollars, for every person you enroll, that's 58 dollars, so it could help support the enrollment. >> that sounds like the triple c bounty program, and again, i don't want to drop the ball on this because i would be really upset. if i get upset, i'm going to put a bug on campos's ear, and it will be contagious and you have a whole board of upset supervisors, so in your partnership with the mayor's office, loop us in, particularly those that are your partners that are working and representing the communities that are often left off the table. this is absolutely critical. thank you. >> yes. >> believe you me, it's a lot worse when you see supervisor cohen upset. i think the point though, one point that i will make and we talked earlier about the convening of the universal health care council which is a good thing, if it's so important, it's too bad that it's only happening three months before the implementation, and another point i think, it's like i wish we had had this discussion before adopting the budget of the departme

california coverage, is not obamacare, it's really a separate entity that was formed in california. there is a separate governance and non-profit. what they have done is two changes one for individual and one for small employer groups. there is two separate exchanges, not one. what they have done that was a key decision point in my mind was that they standardized the health plans and the health plan benefit design that are in the exchange. the reason why this is important as i mentioned on the metallic here, if you standardized the metallic tiers, they are still confusing to the consumer as to how do you compare one plan to the other plan a because of the co-pays out of pocket. the covered california leadership said we are going to standardize plans and lead in this business and for this plan design and therefore the only thing that changes is your premium, negotiated rates and your model whether it's a p po or some other plan design. the >> important thing to know is that standardized designs are two different exchanges. back in may of this year, covered california, about a year ag

this is the only such program in california in a world of traumatized people. the students left out of ccsf will have to go to an expensive private school which will charge much higher fees, but provide a lesser quality education, findings by members of my own family. to the bankers who will be happy to provide expensive loans with very high interest fee, and then once again, the bankers will be bailed out. and i think it's all about money for accjc. and it's simple as that. i don't think accjc cares. >> thank you. >>> about other people. >> next speaker, please. (applause) >>> good afternoon, thank you for allowing me this opportunity to speak. getting a college education was something that was very important to me. and i had my ged and i wanted to find the best place to do that. i moved from [speaker not understood] san francisco, partially because of the reputation of city college being affordable and also a good reflection of what the city actually is, a very difficult verse population. something i really felt like i could grow well in. hearing how some peo

our data source to look at this was the california community college data base and the department of labor and census bureau data and limited survey of other public and private colleges in the bay area. our evaluation is very specific as to try to estimate some direct cost and impact. it's not an impact analysis to ensure economic growth of the city or job growth. so in terms of a profile of city college students a. a. this is based on the last 2014 there were nearly 80,000 students. some of this is repeated after what supervisor mar has already said. the largest categories of students are the 20-24 age group and 50 and older age group. in terms of credit and non-credit courses, the younger students 20 years of age or less are mostly in the credit courses. many of these students are full time or near full time. older students are in the non-credit programs. about 1/3 of the students in the credit courses are receiving some form of financial aid. 3 percent of students are low income, meaning that their families are 150 percent of the federal poverty level or less. the estimate 30 perc

we look forward to seeing marriage took place here in california. i want to point out we had a great ruling so this is a wonderful day for the marriage equality. we look forward to make sure that marriage marmgz is restored here in california we continue this battle. and that political debate that changes in the hearts and minds of people in the california ruling we're very, very glad. thanks so much >> a lot a ton with the community and we say to ourselves, there is this one and this one. we all compartmentalize them, we have our own agenda. our agenda is to create great work. if you are interested in that, you are part of our community. >> hello and welcome to brava theater. >> we are trying to figure out a way to make a space where theater and presentation of live work is something that you think of the same way that you think of going to the movies. of course, it has been complex in terms of economics, as it is for everyone now. artistically, we have done over 35 projects in four seasons, from producing dance, theater, presenting music, having a

they can qualify for these programs only by enrolling in covered california. if they want to stay outside of the exchange, they want to benefit from these programs. it's estimated that 42 percent who have individual coverage can benefit from these programs. in the city and county of san francisco, it's estimated that 28,000 people would benefit from this program. in order to be eligible you must be a citizen. you cannot be incarcerated and if you have and this is a little perk. if you have services through your employer but cost more than 95 percent of your adjusted growth income, you can leave this plan. that's a quirky thing here. how that came about, remember how i mentioned that each person based on their age gets rated a certain threshold? what we've seen is the higher age bracket could out pace the income of those higher aged employees and therefore be higher than 9.5 percent of their adjusted growth income and benefit from the individual exchange because of the tax credit and it would be better to enroll because of the individual exchange. and i think e

is covered california. the city option, does not meet the affordable care act standards in terms of health insurance. and so, if you qualify for any of those. then you can't enroll in healthy san francisco. the hras, which we are still waiting to get the final determination on is the hras have been a way that the employers have been able to meet the mandated spending requirements, to be able to get those funds to the employees, to spend on health expenditures, but it is the affordable care act does not allow for hras. but the big question is how does the employer get the funds to the employee, you know? to be able to utilize for the health expenditure, which that is the big question. >> right. okay. >> and i just want to i was just surprised with this kind of i thought it was going to cover more people really, but i guess that i am not correct on that. >> but what it does is that it allows more individuals to be able who are not covered by their employer, who provides the insurance, it does, it actually doe

since 1994 we used the california building code. prior to that we used the san francisco building code. if everybody uses the same building code and everybody defines it the same way, what is a building less than a high- rise? not a high-rise. people in formally call that a mid rise building. there is no official definition. this is just not a high-rise building. they use the same code on the peninsula and the central valley and everywhere and at los angeles. >> from the time when the permit is issued and the plans are drawn. >> how long will it take to build these? >> two years apiece. >> that is fairly basic. >> about 22 months for the smaller one and 24 months for the bigger one. >> any idea how long it took to get the permits? >> i have been working on this project since 2002. we submitted to planning in 2004 probably. we actually reconfigured the building once. it took us about three years to get the title and design and about one year to get the building permit. >> that sounds like a traditional san francisco building, and tha

when i was going to school, california school's were the best. now they are among the worst with the new budget cuts. of course, my university is being privatized. all of the higher education is being privatized. all through the uc system. how do you run a modern state with tax cuts? we resort to desperate, back last november, we were asked to vote to make four indian casinos in san diego county pony up money. i thought this was a joke. they voted to do it. now, the governor proposes to borrow against future revenues. how did they deal with these social problems when the economic problems were far worse than what we can imagine today? this is from larry halprin's. and it has these quotes from roosevelt on the wall. he said in one of his talks to the people, "the test is not whether we have more, it is whether we provide enough for those who have too little". it's a different philosophy than that which we have become used to. what i am going to show you is a lost civilization. it's a strange place. and yet, it becomes oddly familiar after a while

inspector's knowledge of the california building code, and the reason why that is so important is because you have to comply with both. the california billing code is enforced when you get a building permit, and forced by the local building requirements. it says all new buildings have to be totally accessible. it also says that new buildings when you do an alteration course have to be accessible when you do a project. there's a big difference between a big project and a little project. a big project is going to be not as accessible as a new building, but a smaller project actually has a smaller level of access required in the california building code. you might think that because you got a building permit that that means that everything is good and you are complying with the ada, but it is actually the difference in the building code because its is even if you have an existing building and have not done any improvements to that building, that you still have a continuing obligation to be going through your business and building and taking constructive steps to remove the barriers. the ada
