supervisor campos: yes. supervisor chu: we will go first to supervisor campos, kim mirkarimikim. -- campos, kim, mirkarimi. supervisor campos: this is the first time i have heard that figure, and maybe it is given that they did not give me the information. as the budget analyst verify whether or not the $40 million to $60 million figure that would cost to build a transfer station, whether or not that is [inaudible] through the chair. >> mr. chairman and members of the committee, supervisor campos, we have not verified that number, but let me clarify that our recommendation was to go to the voters with respect to this 1932 ordinance. if that was not in effect, there would not necessarily have to be terribly or transfer stations. supervisor campos: thank you. -- not necessarily have to be two transfer stations. supervisor campos: thank you. what would happen if god forbid you opened this process of to competitive bid, which i guess we are really scared of here, if that is the case, that recology presents the b

commissioner campos: the only thing i would ask is that as we're moving forward to the extent we're talking about adjustment to the ordinance, that we have a proper vetting of some of the issues that have been raised. i think the joint meeting will be helpful in that endeavor. i think we need to make sure some of the concerns that have been highlighted are addressed. >> i agree. we will be doing that. i want to say that we will be in contact with you. i want to make sure that there is -- if there hasn't been before, that we make sure we have a lot of communication. our marketing efforts will be relying on the groups of the -- group's the speakers represent. commissioner campos: great. thank you. i imagine there's no need for any action at this point. >> that is correct. commissioner campos: thank you. if we could file that item? let's continue to the call of the chair. if we could call item number 5, please. >> report on california community choice aggregation issues and the resolution on california publi

>> through the chair commissioner campos, chair campos, what we will be doing is setting up in february a joint meeting with the sfpuc to talk about the time line for the contract. and at that time we will also have a -- some more information about a couple of the agenda items that are before you today, one being legislation and the other being a budget. and that budget will include the assumption of a contract and then the potential marketing efforts that will go forward. so the idea is that the time line is between, i believe it's three and six months for a contract development and preparation and submission to the board and then we'll have a time line for marketing. there are also other proceedings before the cpuc that we will report on again having to do not only with the issue that mr. campbell was talking about but other issues that are before the cpuc right now. so in terms of our next steps, our next steps are really the contract. we really -- and then the implementation of the program. we've completed a implementatio. we completed the prior steps under the ordinance in terms of

commissioner campos: commissioner wiener? commisioner wiener: first of all, i wanted to thank commissioner avalos and commissioner chu for requesting this information. it really does impact people's commute in a significant way. my question is, typically, how soon before a switch back occurs does muni decide to switch back? is there a typical time parameter? is it, we decide and two minutes later, do we know ahead of time? >> i can only give you a firm it depends. the conditions are such, where if we have a significant delay -- 15 minutes approximately on the rail side. it is a combination of the line management center, which has a view of the entire system. the control center speaks to the operators and st. inspectors who actually supports the switch back on the straight -- street. we tried to give people notice as soon as possible when there is a gap. from our perspective, it should be soon and frequent, in terms of letting people know, both in terms of making announcements and resetting the destination sign. that is our pr

supervisor mirkarimi: supervisor campos? supervisor campos: thank you for being here today. the first question that comes to mind is why the need for this change? >> could the governor's council come up? thank you. >> good afternoon, supervisors. eileen hurst from the sheriff's department. i am speaking today in my capacity as the co-chair of the just discovered it's council. as originally placed in the administrative code, the executive sponsor of the justice project was to be the mayor's office on criminal justice. at the time the decision was made, that office was staffed with people that they could dedicate to just this project, including budget staff, project management, you name it. in the ensuing years, staffing at that office has been greatly reduced, and at this point, there is one person there. it simply does not have the resources to do the administration of the project as it needs to be done. so my understanding is that then-mayor newsom asked then- chief administrative officer ed lee to look at taking over the project. supervisor campos: what i would say is i ha

supervisor campos? supervisor campos: thank you. in terms of process going forward, in terms of when we get the report from the police department, does that happen -- how far in advance can we get the report? the written report? supervisor mirkarimi: which report are you referring to? the one we had today? this has been a little bit of a challenge. i am asking the department to get it to us not the day of the hearing, but hopefully days before the hearing. that is what our instruction is to the department. supervisor campos: i don't know if the captain is here. did he leave? supervisor mirkarimi: he will hear this. supervisor campos: if there is someone from the department watching, if they could get it to us before the hearing so we have an opportunity to review it -- supervisor mirkarimi: that is the instruction. gleaning from the several topics that did come up in the discussion, we will settle on this. maybe continue to the call of the chair? very good. next item, please. >> item two, resolution authorizing the department of pub

supervisor campos: thank you. i would like to begin by thanking the department of environment, the director, and it is a pleasure to see you in that position, and i am excited about all of the things that you bring to that role, and i think you and your staff for all of the work that has gone into this -- i thank you and your staff. that is greatly appreciated. i also want to think the budget analyst for his very thorough work on this issue -- i also want to thank the budget analysts. in terms of what the rate payers will be paying, not necessarily a contract between the vendor and the county of san francisco. it is really the contract between the vendor and the ratepayers. if i can through the chair ask the budget analyst, going back to the $206 million, i assume that is per year. what amount of that, how that is broken down in terms of refuse collection, transportation, and disposal. my understanding is that the total value of the contract for disposal or the landfill is about $112 million for 10 years. so does
