That displacement had occurred and that further review need to occur . Not on this. It is set forth in the ceqa regulation appendix g subsection 12. The 710 freeway project is probably best known case on displacement where there is a direct displacement where the the neighborhood was bulldozed. This was different. I think we have enough expert testimony to establish an argument to establish that it requires further review. My next question was on the classic exemption and you said that this is for Scientific Research project. Our office has been able to pilot Pedestrian Safety and bike safety efforts in our district both on sixth street and folsom street on this time of exemption where we are studying removal of parking or car lane to but in a bulb out or put in an actual painted stripe bike lane to study as we move forward with a larger eir and redesign process for safety on those streets. The way you argued it seems that those types of pilots do not deserve those types of exemptions.
The violation, is it the code that they point to . Yes. Its state code 22500 which makes it illegal for any vehicle to block the bus stop. Who enforces that . The San Francisco Police Department or muni zone enforcement officers. Are you saying the pilot says its okay for the shuttles to violate that section of the code . Yes. The primary legal action occurred in the Pilot Program is to amend the citys transportation code. The citys transportation code makes it ill egal for a private bus stop. The Pilot Project amends the citys transportation code to make it lawful for these private shuttles to block the muni stations. Is the city amending the transportation code to allow any private citizen to use the stops . No. So you have a situation where the shuttles can park there, but if you and i do, we will get 271. Okay. The private shuttles would pay 1. Another question, is there any requirement that a ceqa exemption relate to a Pilot Project that is actually legal or can you issue a ceqa e
Television for serious readers. Coming up next hearing on the Health Care Law and federal subsidies for insurance providers. This is an hourandahalf. The chair will recognize an opening statement. Todays hearing is once again about protecting taxpayers and consumers from the consequences of the Affordable Care act, mainly the giveaway of taxpayer dollars to ensures. First, section 1342 of the Affordable Care act created what are known as risc corridors, a mechanism that will protect Insurance Companies from some of the financial losses. It works by decreasing payments to plans whose expenses are below projections, those with healthier than expected and release and redistributing those dollars to plants whose expenses exceed projections, those with sicker than expected enrollees. If done in a budget neutral fashion taxpayers would have little to be worried about when it comes to risk. But while the administration has paid lip service to the program being budget neutral it has also indic
Expense. If they live far from a va hospital, 40 miles is the agreedupon distance, you will secretary the. A. Ability to fire senior managers accused of mismanagement. They can obviously fire those who are ill performing. Timekes a very long because of federal rules about letting employees go and their process to appeal. This was one of the reasons the controversy started in the first place. V. A. More to come on this deal in the house and senate. Did address the immediate crisis of veterans being forced on the long waiting lines for health care. It strengthens the va so that we can put a permanent end to long waiting lists. It addresses the very serious problem of accountability and makes certain that this honest and incompetent senior officials at the va do not remain employed there and in addition and provide some other significant benefit for veterans and their families. Funding for veterans needs must be considered a cost of law, and appropriated as charges that they. Planes and t
But i do think that rather having these out there, lets go down the list and decide that it maybe that one property might be bumped higher on the list because there is a couple supervisors who are currently involved in the process. Lets make a list and do it in a rational way. In that before we go to the september 17th meeting and talk about this again we weigh out what resources are available for a project. Is there someone involved to help this move forward. We did this before and we had commissioner alumni martinez here and did this before as we figure out how to get this off the list and which have the resources on a volunteer basis from the public. Eye i would suggest we add it to the list and not add additional staff time. Would you mind if we move to september. Fine. Thank you. With that well close for these two items and if we could then, because we have a conflict. I make a motion to recuse commissioner pearlman. Second. There is a motion and a second. Commissioner hyland, yes
