What else is on the agenda? I'm glad you asked. First there's the flotsam and jetsam: various changes to Treasure Island leases (Hey, has anybody actually found the treasure yet?); settlement of lawsuits; and appointments the PUC rate fairness board, the Children and Family First Commission, and the Bicycle Advisory Committee.
Which leads me to the question: Do bicyclists actually need a committee? Or should they just have an open call for thousands of bicyclists to all converge on City Hall and make policy recommendations through a non-hierarchical, spontaneous action? Wouldn't that be more democratic, and in keeping with San Francisco bicyclists' long-held tradition of yelling at people?
The David Campos legislation on reporting the immigration status of youth arrested for a crime comes up for its second vote this week, so you can be sure there will be yelling, and clapping, and possible drinking on the moral high ground tonight. There will also be a vote on the proposed rental subsidy program for low-income families, and BOTH campaign finance and lobbying reform, AND Chris Daly's measure banning City employees and officers from soliciting donations to nonprofit organizations to fund City departments from persons doing business with those departments.
And, as mentioned before, there will be a vote on an ordinance "approving issuance of a Request for Proposals for Community Choice Aggregation (CCA) Services for the San Francisco CCA program, commonly known as CleanPowerSF."
Damn, that's a meeting.
Wow - looks like the moral high ground is going to get so crowded that we'll need to convert some of those condos into TICs. Hey, is there enough low-income housing on the moral high ground? Maybe if somebody moved to Fairfield, that would help.
Wednesday, Oct. 28, 11 a.m. - Budget and Finance Committee
I swear to God, the Monthly Overtime Report is the most interesting thing to happen at this meeting. Unless you want to talk about the California Environmental Quality Act report on the Exploratorium? Or the management agreement for the Cable Car Museum?
Those are important things, I admit: Somebody should really be paying attention to them. It's just that ... there's a Halloween party on the moral high ground this week (we'll all be dressing up as people who are more civic-minded than you) ... and I've got to get to work on my costume. I'll be going as the Nobel Peace Prize committee.
See you next week.
