there is one on page 30. it limits the parking authority limitation on acquiring or expanding parking facilities to garages. thank you. >> further comments or questions on the amendment? without objection, or do we need a roll call several without objection? so moved. supervisor chu: i would like to make a motion that would duplicate the file to create two versions, one that is currently in the charter amendment that would only be triggered if we were to see an

annual revenue increase, so one version would stay as is. the second would remove the set- aside provision. i understand there is discussion. different colleagues have different perspectives, and i would like to have those two options. >> second? president chiu: that is on page 20, and it is the last paragraph that is an important component of the originally composed amendment. >> it has been moved and seconded. >> can i have are roll-call

vote? [calling votes] supervisor daly: no. >> there are 10 ayes, one no. >> i want to thank everyone for the work that has been done on this. i do plan to continue the conversations that have been ongoing for many weeks as well as in the colleagues that wish to take part us on the immediate reform measures that reflect why

we are seeing this. if these conversations are fruitful, i could be prepared to wait to move forward. we all know we need to increase accountability. we need to make sure funding is in place, and the look forward to working on these goals over the next week. >> both of these items will be completed on july 22. motion to continue? supervisor avalos seconded by supervisor chu. this item will be continued until july 22. will you please read the adoption about committee reference? >> items 58 through item 73 are

being considered without reference. there will be acted upon by a single roll call vote unless a member call for discussion of an item. gerd >> would anybody like to separate an item? supervisor alioto-pier: 62. >> any other items? we will take care roll-call on items 58 through 72 except for item 72. [calling votes]

>> there are 11 ayes. >> the item is urging full pardon and allowing him to remain in the united states and continue serving. supervisor alioto-pier: thank you. and my main issue with this is a full pardon. if san francisco is backing of for all pardon, i would like to have an understanding -- backing of full pardon, i would like to understand what this is. in 1986, he put a lot of people through a very traumatic and violent act, so i would like to

have a better understanding of what we are doing, because i do not want people to be saying his acts should be ignored. >> to the question raised by supervisor all year to appear, he is somebody known -- to supervisor alioto-pier, he is a bunny known to the community and has set an example for young people. he -- he is now well known to the community and has set an example for young people. he served for 19 years within the department of corrections. after that time, governor schwarzenegger allowed it to

stand uncontested based on the tremendous rehabilitation he exhibited during his time in prison, and after that time, he has continued to demonstrate his commitment to the communique and has not only been appointed by the mayor to the council and has won numerous awards, but the real issue of is that it continues to have an impact on his ability to stay in the united states, and in 2006, this body moved to resolution asking the department of homeland security to ask him to stay in the united states because he did not have citizen status, and when you are convicted of certain kinds of crimes, that has immigration implications.

many members would like to assist him in receiving a full pardon which would allow him to rephrase that from his record and stay within the united states and move forward with citizenship. the cracks -- supervisor alioto- pier: i understand that. i would like more time to look at this, because the acts were violent and awful, and i understand these are the types of people we hope will turn around, so i would like more time to look into it, and i would ask for a continuance. >> i heard a motion to continue? will we take that without objection, or would we like our roll call? >> without objection is fine.

>> are there any memorials for today. >> today's meeting will be adjourned in the memory of the following individuals, for the late thomas f. eisenman, joseph walsh, and wilkinson, four media and on behalf of the full board for the late dr. jose. >> can there be any more business in front of the board? >> that concludes our business for today. >> thank you.

supervisor mirkarimi: aye. supervisor alioto-pier: aye. supervisor avalos: aye. >> there are 8 ayes and two no's. president chiu: item 20. >> it establishes a yearly base line of our preparation to create the sentences, affordable housing fund. supervisor daly: thank you, president and colleagues. the issue of affordable housing or lack thereof to be more specific is one of the toughest issues within san francisco. over the course of nine and a half years here at the board of supervisors, it has been an emphasis issue for my office over the entire time.

but the lack of affordable housing has been one of the top three issues in san francisco for decades, and will likely continue to be one of the top issues facing san francisco in the decades to come. there have been many efforts to institute an ongoing source of funds to deliver affordable housing, and i would say the good news is that we have a very professional and very competent host of entities that can deliver affordable housing. and on model of housing, that is necessarily a component to deal with things like the homeless crisis in san francisco.

it is incredibly important for seniors and working-class families with in san francisco to continue to make san francisco their home. in 1996, i was just the house and organizer. i remember walking the precincts for prop a. it nearly did pass. the only successful effort to deliver much-needed funds for affordable housing in for a san francisco or anywhere else -- in san francisco or anywhere else for the purposes of delivering affordable housing. there have been several efforts that have come up short over the years to authorize a new

affordable housing bond to amend the charter and deliver a reference that also came up short. in terms of the item before us, i think it is clear that the 2/3 threshold for the obligation bond is not really doable in the current climate at about -- at the ballot. especially with the opposition and the campaigns that are out there. i think that we should prioritize affordable housing within our appropriations process, and it is the correct way to move forward. taking a look at the 2008 measure, it failed to pass on

that ballot. i think there were strong arguments against the measure that carry today. the campaign would nearly double in terms of dollars spent. that is to be expected and that can be overcome. the formula to set aside a percentage of the property tax would have been a strain on last year or this year's budget. i think it would have made the discussion that is not yet complete here at city hall, it would have been worth it anyway. clearly, it would have been causing some additional pain in terms of the competing and other priorities within the budget including ongoing obligations.

in terms of taking that argument out of the picture, what the measure in front of us would do would be to lie on the nine month report that would base most of the budget deliberations here on the board of supervisors. and projecting a budget surplus, it includes the increased cost of doing business which the comptroller is more often than not conservative on in terms of revenue projections. they would have 33% of that surplus dedicated into this affordable housing fund. it would be identical to proposition be from 2008 --

proposition b from 2008. most likely, the next several years when there is a budget deficit, it would move toward the cause of affordable housing. if we had a bumper crop year and had a budget surplus going in at 33%, it would be written into affordable housing. what the budget committee came up with back when we did have better than anticipated revenue at the end of the fiscal year, we are able to make an appropriation through the year over supplemental -- that was supplemental in nature. that is good in terms of moving this item for for affordable housing. the major priorities we
