they will be eligible, assuming the mayor's office of housing criteria are met, to move into the housing project, and mta has committed to finding the $8 million to apply to that $40 million affordable housing project. in terms of commercial relocation, mta reimbursements will be for moving expenses, reestablishment expenses, furniture and equipment, and again, those letters went out last week, and good will. there has been a question about funding for a proposed commercial stabilization program. we have not identified funding for this proposal, but we are in the process of identifying the extent of the issues. for instance, a tenant improvements. as the businesses identify their new locations, and we would be happy to report back to you on that.

we would be happy to answer your questions. supervisor maxwell: colleagues, any questions or comments? >> -- supervisor mar: how many of the existing chinatown tenants have agreed to move to the montgomery sanford side? >> all of them have expressed an interest, but is up to each of them. as they move into temporary housing, they will get 42 months of subsidized rent, so we will find out later, but they will have that opportunity. supervisor mar: hi was going to ask as well, "the chronicle" reported the budget gap for the $1.6 billion project, and i wondered if you could respond to -- i think they were saying it was $127 million to $235 million in order to complete the project. i wondered if you could respond to what was in the paper today.

>> the financial plan is one of the many deliverables that rolls up into the full funding grant agreement. the financial plan has been submitted to the fda, and the agency's chief financial officer will be presenting to the transportation authority plans and programs tomorrow morning with a presentation of that draft plan, outlining the $137 million and program the amount, -- unprogrammed amount, and she will be presenting a plan resulting in a fully funded project. supervisor mar: in the paper this morning, you made a comment

about two state transportation bond measures you are looking at that might fill that gap? >> yes, it is very promising. there is two transportation initiatives that the central subway could benefit from. one of them specifically with the proposition 1a, the high- speed rail initiative. central subway is a direct link to high-speed rail, and proposition 1a set aside funding from the high-speed rail initiative to support local transit agencies to provide into connectivity to high-speed rail, and central subway will definitely provide direct connectivity to high-speed rail, so that is one of many possible sources that the chief financial officer will be presenting to the plans and programs. supervisor chiu: first of all, thank you for that presentation. i wanted to ask specifically

around the commercial stabilization program and what your thoughts are given that there has not yet been an identification of funding for the program. in recent weeks, we have seen some issues arise around the city college construction project and the impact that has had on some of the commercial establishments in that area, and i want to understand what the next step is for this. supervisor maxwell: the next step is that our relocation consultant is meeting tomorrow again with each of the businesses at the chinatown station site, and as a continuation of the weekly meetings, they had given them a list of all the information they need to do their good will -- to provide to the goodwill appraiser to prepare the goodwill appraisal, so as they do that, they will then be able to identify each of the pieces of the package that the commercial tenants will be entitled to. as those packages are then

developed, we will be able to report back regarding what is the extent of the money that is available to them compared to what they will meet that may be above that for the new sites they will be moving into. we will be able to find that work with you as well as the mayor's office to see if there are other funds available through economic development, etc., that may help fill that gap. supervisor chiu: ok, thank you. supervisor maxwell: all right. any further presentation? is that it? why don't we open this up to public comment? public comment on this item? >> good afternoon, supervisors. i'm here from chinatown community development center. we're here to express our support for this project and to urge the board of supervisors to

vote and approved of the relocation plan so it can move forward. as you know, this is a project that the chinatown community has advocated for for over 15 years now. we believe it will bring significant transportation benefits to the community, and we also believe it will create an anchor for the future stability of chinatown, both in terms of attracting a further infrastructure money in terms of affordable housing, and money that can support the small businesses there. with regards to the specific issues of relocation, i want to point out that issues around the relocation of the low-income residents in the building were things that we brought up, almost nine months ago with the mta. i'm happy to report we have been able to work closely with them, and i'm also happy to report that mta has taken an unprecedented step of committing to not only relocating the tenants under the existing federal law, which they were required to anyway, but to take

the further step and replaced the housing that they demolished with affordable housing in chinatown and to provide the residents that are being displaced with a right of first refusal to live in affordable housing for the remainder of however long they want to be there. this is a rarity among transportation agencies. it is not something that you see in other parts of the country, and i do think mta needs to be applauded for working so closely with community representatives on this issue. i do want to point out, however, at this point, there are some commercial tenants over there. i certainly think that we are heading in the right direction, and i believe that mta is working hard to make sure that the commercial tenants will be in the same position as the residential tenants. thank you. supervisor maxwell: thank you. any further public comment? seeing none, public comment is

closed. supervisor chiu: i want to thank all the parties who have been working on the wrestling these thorny relocation issues together. thank the staff for working with our commercial tenants to make sure this gets done. colleagues, i would ask that we vote unanimously to move this forward. my vote is really predicated on the work that has been done thus far and the assumption that we will be able to get to a good place. i certainly hope, as was just mentioned, that not only can we make sure our residential tenants are taken care of, but also our commercial tenants receive what they need to to move on with the significant transitions that they have, and i look forward to working with all of you to make sure that happens. supervisor maxwell: thank you. since our city touts so much about small business, i'm glad to hear we are trying to take care of them. again, thank muni, and i want to thank all the advocates.

without objection, so moved. done. this meeting is adjourned. this meeting is adjourned. i was just driving around minding my own business... when it came out of nowhere. suddenly, there were lights all around me. i'm like, "they're coming for me!" yeah, it was crazy. i just never thought they'd find me. not out here.

it doesn't matter where you drive. if you don't buckle up, you will get caught. cops are cracking down all across the country. click it or ticket.

>> welcome to the board of supervisors meeting.

>> all members are present. >> can you please join me in the pledge of allegiance? >> we have copies of the october 5th, 2010 minutes. >> without objection, they shall be adopted. >> are there any communications? >> i have no communications. >> can you read the consent

agenda. >> items 1313 comprise the consent agenda. all matters listed constitute the consent agenda and are considered to be retained. >> would anyone like to sever any of the items? >> aye. >> aye. >> aye. >> aye. >> aye. >> aye. >> aye. >> aye. >> aye. >> aye. >> those ordinances are finally passed and resolutions adopted. i would like to recognize the

students from the phoenix academy from palo alto for being with us here today. the next item, please. >> item 14 is an ordinance amending the environment code to establish and implement the healthy air and clean transportation program, providing for the conversion to clean vehicles and reducing the overall number of passenger vehicles and light duty trucks 20% >> the ordinance is finally passed. >> item 15, amending the code regarding employee relations and updating provisions consistent with state and local law and related clean-up provisions. >> i would like to ask for one more week to continue this item until november 16th. one of the bargaining teams feels they have been excluded

from the original process. they are gone very close to coming to a resolution. there has been in a letter drafted to the bargaining team but not enough time to address concerns. what i am asking for is a one week continuance which would give the bargaining team enough time to come to an agreement. >> the motion by supervisor marc, seconded by supervisor dufty. >> a bargaining team was excluded. the impression that i have is that every bargaining unit was part of the process. this was an intensive process and every unit signed off. someone was excluded? >> good afternoon, supervisors. supervisor elsbernd domino union was excluded from the process.

the process began at the labor unions. we have worked for nearly 12 months on the negotiations. labour would like this to go to this. >> was this agreed to buy at the

bargaining unit? >> police, fire, service workers, management. >> we are not here to solve internal problems. our job is not to placate the internal issue. >> it is time to hear it out.

>> we will be entering into the bargaining. this makes it fairly clear what they are. this is also what the number of bargaining units are. the changes greatly reduces the number of potential that can be challenged and indeed will be in a very unstable situation. this is very outdated and now conflicts with state law.

the credibility and responsibility to our labor partners, they are also on board and they deserve to benefit from the change that will be brought to. if we knew that one week would take, and this is before the other labor issues. >> i am wondering if i could get some information about what the harm would be.

what would be the heart of waiting? >> it was a guarantee of one week or two, he would not see objections from the city's side of the table. there is no guarantee that when you take steps to undergo the internal discussions, it could lead anywhere. i think very likely this would lead to a further round of negotiations. >> thank you. >> supervisor elsbernd. >> if this is one week, that is one week, great. now we need more modern discussions. next tuesday will we be here again or we just put this off another week. if i felt there were assurances, i would not object. having watched the participation, one week will not

do it. i think that we should just cut the cord and vote yes. >> talking to a representative from the service employees, this is the most significant in terms of size. it seems that they did sign off on this and there is a discussion between the membership and staff. they're asking for a week and that is more than fair. >> i know that we hear from 10 to one. >> one week is all but i'm willing to give. my hope is that that this will be resolved as quickly as possible.

i am asking for one week as a compromise >> given the commitment to moving this forward, i would be willing to support the continuance. >> without objection, this item will be continued for one week. >> item 16 is an ordinance amending the health code to set nutritional standards for restaurant foods sold the company to buy toys or other youth-focused consent of items. >> i would like to thank supervisor composts -- supervisor campos, maxwell, the president chiu.

this helps to address the food problems especially in our low income communities. i also wanted to think the coalition of parents, community members, small businesses, pediatricians, health experts and to the organized campaign to really bring about this effort and also the pioneering one in santa clara county. this is a simple and modernist -- this must not exceed 6 1 calories and not include beverages that have excessive fat or sugar. there are many that understand the importance and the struggles that we go through every day to balance healthy choices that many children and families don't

have the same kind of food environment. a recent study by yale university has come out with a number of findings and recommendations that i think really our strong support for this ordinance. some summary points, this is summarized buying -- summarized by -- international. the restaurant environment does not help to steer people toward healthy selection. that is very effective. 40% of the children serve right from the ages of 2-eleven ask their parents to go to one big fast-food company at least once a week and 15% of preschoolers

ask to go every day. 840% of parents report taking their children -- 84% of parents report taking their children at least once a week. the recommendations from the experts that yield the studies that came out a few months ago, these are very on topic with our ordinance. young people must consume less of the calories that are given in fast-food restaurants. fast-food restaurants must drastically change their current marketing practices so that children and teenagers to not receive continuous encouragement to seek out food which will damage their help. when young people visit, they

should encourage the healthful options. other findings are that fast food must top marketing directly to preschoolers. they must promote lower calorie and more nutritious items. the focus on all forms of marketing must be to emphasize the more of the options instead of highway calorie options that are promoted almost exclusively. a relative number of low-calorie items, popular items should be reformulated to. kid's meal options must be development to meet the nutrition needs of both the preschoolers and the older children that consume them. they must do to push their more nutritious menu items.

we will look at the financial toll of obesity and overweight to our city. we were told about $900 million is spent in san francisco per year addressing direct and indirect costs of child abuse to the and overweight. about $147 billion is spent on health care costs related to obesity costs and disease is related. there is a huge economic cost as well. my last point before moving this forward to a vote this that this is a modest ordinance. this encourages fast food and other restaurants that offer a healthy meals marketed towards children with toys attached to it offered a healthier food

options if the toys are included. my last urging of my colleagues is that i know that to this has been several months effort of lobbying and educational meetings but my hope is that as we are asked about this by colleagues in other cities and counties that we look at this as one small step forward in addition to a lot of other steps we're making to address childhood obesity. hopefully, we can make history today in the san francisco bypassing healthy meal incentive ordinance to further childhood health. think you. -- thank you. >> let's take a role call vote. >> aye.

>> aye. >> aye. >> no. >> aye., >> aye. >> no. >> aye. >> no. >> aye. >> this ordinance is finally passed. the item 17. >> item 17 against the code to increase the number of members from 13 to 15 on the can of this task force. -- cannabis task force. >> the sole motivation was the passing of proposition 19. proposition 19
