[speaking in foreign language] >> i want to get to the problem that we could talk to the manufacturers to reduce the concentrations and the chemicals inside nail products. especially nail polish that once

you open and you start coughing. she just wants to reduce the concentrations or toxicity in that so she won't have to cough anymore. she think the program would really help for everyone's health working in the salon.

>> i have been using this product and it doesn't have a lot of smells an i think it really helps improve the salon's conditions. i would hope in the future there are more products like that so we won't have to smell these chemicals. thank you. supervisor chiu: thank you. next speaker. >> good morning. my name is van nguyen. the owner of new york nails. i am here today to speak on this. thank you. supervisor chiu: next speaker. >> good morning, supervisors and everyone here. my name is christine, um' with the center for environmental health based in oakland. we also work statewide and nationwide on getting toxic chemicals out of products and manufacturing processes. for almost 15 years the septre for environmental health has worked to get toxic chemicals out of children's products,

prior marely children's products . about a decade ago we were part of the bay area working group on precautionary principle, the simple yet vital idea when it comes to toxic chemicals we need to look bothways before we expose our most vulnerable, children, elders, and pregnant women. today c.e.h. stands with and continues to work with all the groups today urging you, the san francisco board of supervisors, to continue to be at the forefront as you were with the precautionary principle to protect your city's workers and residents from the toxic three. your leadership can protect our most vulnerable. we can work with small businesses to ship markets to to safer alternatives and be a beacon for other cities to follow. thank you. supervisor chiu: i'm marty martinez, within district eight. i'm with the california pan ethnic health network. a statewide health policy organization working to improve health of the communities of

color we strongly support this ordinance. thanks thanks. supervisor chiu: thank you. let me ask are there any other members of the public who wish to speak on this topic? seeing none at this time, the public comment is closed. i want to thank all of you for coming out today. it's funny with at love legislation sometimes good legislation comes from identity december of my colleagues and i, but this is an idea that was really brought by the community. it was brought to us by public health advocates, by advocates for immigrant workers, by advocates for the environment, and all these folks coming together in the coalition and collaborative as helped it move forward. i want to thank you both for bringing it to us as well as the work i know you're going to do in the coming months and years to make sure this program hopefully does become an ideal model for the rest of this state and country. with that, colleagues, could i ask if we could move this without -- yes, supervisor

mirkarimi. supervisor mirkarimi: i want to complement our colleague, supervisor david chiu. i also have co-sponsored on to this legislation. in san francisco for a good 20 years before we eeven had a department of environment has really been testing the boundaries of the federal government's registry on what they consider to be acceptable or not in terms of household and workplace toxic that -- toxins that people are exposed to on a daily basis. and that we understand that due to the powerful interest of the chemical industry, especially their grip on washington, and how that influences the kind of registry in giving the acceptable means of toxins just like what is being evaluated here today because of the relationship to nail salons, etc., that that on a national level is considered to be ok. well, it's not ok in san francisco.

and i really do appreciate how this legislation helps sets up a framework that while we navigate the strata between state and federal government, san francisco continues to push forward and says that we will not allow these hazards to be in our workplace environment, especially which is predominantly administered by immigrant communities and nonspeaking communities where they are off taken advantage of and that, of course, in our households. our job here is to be clean, green, safe, and smart and this legislation leads right to that. thank you to the many advocates who really helpedpropel us into this position. it's smart legislation but it's also really common sense. supervisor chiu: thank you. with that, colleagues, could we have a motion to send this to the full board with recommendation? motion by supervisor mirkarimi. without objection, that should be the case. madam clerk, do we have any more business in front of this board? >> no, mr. chairman.

supervisor chiu: at this time this meeting is adjourned.

supervispier: goodu morning, and welcome to the 'vrules committee. i am your chair for the day. unfortunately, supervisorq5q campos will not be here. i am joined by the president of the board, a supervisor david chiu, and we will be joined shortly by supervisor eric mar. if you would not mind -- well, yes, call the first item. >> item 1, motion appointing supervisor eric ending june 30, 2012, to the association of bay area governments executive board. supervisor alioto-pier: 90. is there any public comment? seeing none, motion to approve. would you mind starting with item eight? >> item 8, ordinance amending

the san francisco municipal elections code by adding article x, sections 1000 through 1030 to establish procedures for election day voter registration and late voter registration. supervisor alioto-pier: thank you. h this item? . debra newman from the budget and legislative analyst's office. this ordinance before you2&m wod amend the city municipal9yq%e%ew article x to establish procedures for late vornh registration and election day voter registration. there is a proposition on the november 2 ballot, which is a charter amendment to establish election day voter registration

for municipal elections. that proposed ordinance before you today would actually establish new procedures y2dtim. however, the proposed ordinance before you would only take effect if the san francisco voters approve proposition eç. our report has determined that this legislation does have fiscal impacts based on discussions with the department of elections. it is estimated to cost approximately ÷ $420,000 per exclusively municipal election. zíñit will only be in effect for exclusively municipal elections so that any ballots that have both state and federal candidates for propositions would not be subject toé this. special municipal elections are held on alternate years in<

in-numbered years, so the next exclusively in municipal ck"ée effect if the charter amendment is approveddue and the next election that this would have effect is not for another year, our recommendation that this item be continued pending the outcome of thistbh upcoming november election. you very much. is there any public comment on this item? closed. because it hasñw fiscal impactt probably needs to go to another committee is mine understanding. bme>> yes, that is also correct. referred to probably the budget and finance committee. supervisor alioto-pier:qfq ok, shall we continue the item?

i8oñ have served as senior advir for senator feinstein and i also and i work with public and private entities that have a water interests. óswhen i was here a year ago, i had the supportétç for my nomination from supervisor nancy walker from the environmensf÷ defense fund from natural heritage institute andlbñ other, and that supports i would expect is still there. ef÷a couple of observations,jhqt for perhaps your interest. i left employment at the puc[3ñ0 years ago. when i came backtk in 2009, the organization was different in a couple of respects. first was that whileviú we had identified a need for a major capital program, we have not taken that.bç the ballot. we did not have the bonding

authority for that. what we did not have also at the time was the management systems in place to manage a project of that one of the things i did when i came in a year ago was to look at that to see how that5 developed over time, and my conclusion is that the 'páh)eally stuck up --og stepped up their abiliy to manage both int personnel and in terms of systems, and they are fully capable of the táx in front of them. the second major change is theu is something has really taken deep withie organization. i'm sure you know one of the more frustrating things in life is trying toqlx change theiix ce of an organization is very frustrating. .

they believe in taking care of the bottom line, they believe in taking care of.m assets you have, and that is a fundamental change. we havea*u'ch of stuff during the last year that i think is important. we workedj]t commissioners. we came up with an environmental justice policy forpr the first time ever. we have established levels of service for the waste water we have sent to the board for their actionable landscape ordinances, and we have also 1bestablished criteria for low impact design. we are working=( on a community benefits program. a major part of that is jobs. we dox

big one. we are very much into the construction phase on the program. the rate of spending.uu, if you look at the graph of it, it just takes off. it is veryb standpoint. we have some major environmental approvals coming up. we aren.ñ also looking forward o implementation of the community choice abrogation program that start work on this coming spring. u is a once over lightly. i will be glad to answer any questionsvtñ you have. with your support, it would be an honor to serve another term on the commission. vkxsupervisor mar: thank you for a number of environmental activists have raised the issues of -- let me just look at -- from dating back to the 1990's, saying that strong on public power, renewable issues. 's

electrical system, when you were the general manager, i just ez"éááát of the criticisms you e from some environmentalists. 9 the challenge that is currently in front of the commission, it is to implement aqln community choice aggregation program. that is something that through a process of significant debz over a great number of years, the board finallyú, consolidatd in avc concise and reasonable definition of what the board choice aggregation. that was a milestone event. b0gwe have been working since tt time to get that implemented. we wentú  process that was

successful in a sense that it generatedw;t the authority to negotiate with the potential contractor. those negotiations fellm[t apar, and that was a source of significant frustration for all of us. í update the probability of sur÷ñ on that. we are expecting responses to bids in november. as i said, our0:j target is not what we're working wereázñ -- wt we are working for. succeso negotiate a contract and work for it in the spring. lioto-pier: any other questions, colleagues? rall right, thank you. is there any public comment on this item? seeing5gñ none, public comment s closed. may we move this forward with recommendation?
