the motivation for expanding as the longer they're. this should be rejected. >> any additional discussion? >> on item 17. >> aye. >> aye. >> aye. >> no. >> aye. >> aye. >> no. >> aye. >> aye. >> aye. >> aye. >> this ordinance is finally passed. if we could call items 18 and 19. >> item 18 mnc tax code regarding a common the administrator provisions.

item 19 as to the definition of control revising the enforcement authority and making other non substantive changes to the business and tax regulations code. >> thank you, mr. president. i would like to think supervisor dufty for his co-sponsor ship. -- thank supervisor dufty. earlier this year, we had a lively debate contemplating a proposal that we work advancing to put a tax revenue ballot measure for this november ballot. we decided not to pursue that path and instead working with the treasurer and tax collector's office and the parking association in trying to develop key -- to going after uncollected revenue. as it tested for some years, --

as it has stood for some years, we have been guessing add to the estimate of revenue we have been losing in the parking garages and the operators to our fly by night. currently before this legislation, there has been two levels of bonding which protects our liability interest. the highest was up to $20,000. we are revising that from two tiers to 8 tiers. we are empowered and the treasurer and secretary of state's office to institute a level of relief so that they know that we mean business. of course, the ability to seek restitution. i am not sure if some parking

leaders feel that this would yield $20 million as they have testified but i think that this is an improvement especially since there has been strong concern for many years. >> any additional discussion? >> aye. >> aye. >> aye. >> aye. >> aye. >> aye. >> aye. >> aye. >> aye. >> aye. >> aye. >> these organs are passed on the first reading. >> item 20, resolution

authorizing the mayor to cast assessment ballots in the formative -- in the affirmative on behalf of the city and county of san francisco as the owner of two parcels and part of a third parcel of real property over which the board of supervisors has jurisdiction. >> on item 20 -- >> aye. >> aye. >> aye. >> no. >> aye. >> aye. >> aye. >> aye. >> aye. >> aye. >> aye. >> this resolution is adopted. >> item 21 is a resolution adopting findings and the california environmental quality act including the mitigation,

monitoring and reporting program and a statement of over reconsideration related to the harry tracy water treatment plant long-term improvements project. >> aye. >> aye. >> aye./ >> aye. >> aye. >> aye. >> aye. >> aye. >> aye. >> aye. >> aye. >> aye. >> this resolution is adopted. next item. >> item 22, approving the settlement of unmitigated claims by and between skyline stables corp. and the public utilities commission. >> same house, same call. this resolution is adopted. >> item 23, ordinance amending

the city code to establish the city's open data policy. >> we seeking indications from one of the data and advocates. this might not actually be necessary. >> thank you, supervisors. this ordinance would take the executive director of and make it an ordinance. the question is if this is necessary and whether this is in conflict or indicative of the sunshine ordinance. this is not unnecessary in any way and represents a different kind of accountability and

transparency. sunshine remains an important tool of accountability and it remains in tact. any citizens could still make a sunshine request and receive that information within 10 days for all of the existing rules. this is another mechanism. >> through the chair to the mayor's office, will you also edit data that will be put forward in the portal that is left on the altered and and and did it? >> the ordinance requires a posting of specific kinds of data. that is defined by --

there are those that are written in the ordinance. those are broadly defined in layman's terms as able to be read. these are spreadsheets which can be used to calculate or create applications. this information is usable. this is able to be examined for accountability reasons. this is so that the developer can have private applications. does that answer your question? >> not really. i did not hear this in committee so i apologize if we missed some of the more pertinent points. this is no harm, no foul but i don't see how this does

anything. >> any additional conversation? >> a roll-call vote by this item. >> aye. >> aye. >> aye. >> aye. >> aye. >> aye. >> aye. >> aye. >> aye. >> aye. >> aye. >> aye. >> this order and it is passed on the first reading. item 24.

>> item 24 is in motion directing the budget and legislative analyst to conduct three audits for fiscal year 2011 and setting the priorities. >> i would like to start buying banking supervisor -- by thanking the supervisor mar for supporting this. i have a couple questions for the budget analysts. first, the on indigent defense, we just approved a $80 million supplemental. can you discuss the proposal? >> good afternoon. the proposal that we had submitted to the members of the board was to look get to the indigent defense program and look at alternatives recognizing that each year we have a fairly

significant supplemental appropriation. this has not been audited by the city since it was established in the early 2000's. mostly this would look at alternatives. we figured it would be about seven her 50 to 1000. >> thank you. >> i wanted to ask about the affordable housing request. it seems that if it resulted in housing. can you talk briefly about the scope? >> the scope on that project was to look at the interdepartmental process.

in a recent project that we did, we discovered that each entity maintains a list and coordinated with -- and it is not coordinated. this would be a project not unlike some other projects that we would have done which would have each department developed a the way that it is monitored. >> thank you. would you be able to complete these under the current funding before the end of the year? >> in fiscal year 2010-2011, there would be announced within our budget. >> i would like to ask the chair if it would be comfortable with adding these to the schedule i

like to see if this is something that the board is comfortable with. if this is something that is supported in the time and in the budget, we should be looking at our affordable housing and the indigent cents. >> ms. campbell, let me just ask, we spent several meetings prioritizing the number of items and we prioritize kind of the big ones that are based on revenue-generating ideas and efficiency creation. those are the ones that appear on the list. i know that supervisor tissue, maxwell, and i sat through those meetings. -- i know that supervisor chu. we looked at several others. if there was more time available, you would come back to the gao the meeting and the three members would work with a budget analyst to see what kind

of ours were available and what kind of scope of the projects we could work on. i would urge my colleagues to try to respect the process. the you have any thoughts on this? >> let me first recognize supervisor elsbernd. >> thank you. obviously, if the board is not comfortable, then that is fine. i want to add that as a past member of the government audits and oversights, we go through all of the audits scheduled and there is nothing else available. i don't want this to be taken as an insult that the committee has

not done their job properly. i think that this is something that we should probably be playing a more pro-active role is -- an active role in. >> just to address some of the processes that we took, at the committee we did talk with the budget analysts over the level of hours that they might have to complete work. what we did was to take a look at the big list of proposed ideas that the analysts have put together and what can we do within the amount of time that we have had. this is not meant at all to preclude any members from performing additional work. this is really to finish off the rest of this current calendar year. given the information, we really

tried to prioritize the projects that might have a revenue impact. we have scaled down the level of ours that we thought would be required for the analysis because we knew that given the bargaining units, some of it would not have been useful to find out but this is something that we could continue. some of the other issues with the assessor's office was something that we thought would be interesting as we enter into a budget year that will be difficult. this will get us through the rest of this year given a list of alternatives. we did. the schedule because this is not as much as you would think. if we're able to have additional hours in the coming months, we would be sure to entertain that. >> i wonder if we could add one

subsection, i guess it is numberinky, the potential audit of the provisions. if we could also ask the budget analyst to look at the long term financial impact. that was a point recommended by the grand jury. we're very fearful that this will get swept under the rug. this is a very minor piece. can the budget analyst look at the impact of the provisions on the employer contribution? as we amend line 7 at page 3 and add subsection e to say "and the long-term effect of mou

provisions." >> i want to clarify that in the process of the goa, the scope was significantly narrowed to look at some specific forms a premium pay. they would be looking at standby pay, supervisory pay. what came out of the last meeting it was a narrowing of the scope. we could certainly add to that the valuation. >> i am just reading the motion that is in front of us. this is very broad and it says that a financial impact with the

benefit or pay increases. did this get narrowed? >> yes, i believe it did. what would have come out of the last meeting would have been looking at number day which is page three, line four. this had been very specific to premium types of pay which might not be relevant. >> i will respectfully disagree in that case. i think the party for the city should not be looking at special fiscal provisions, we should be looking at the impact of -- on the employer provisions. that is crushing our deficit.

we have to move forward, i will not be supportive. >> any additional conversation? glad some of the other things that we were looking at, the reasons that we focus is that we thought that they would be looked at in other areas. we did not want to duplicate services because we only had some in the hours and that is why we narrowed it down. and i understand that you will not be voting for this but that is the reason why we narrowed it down so much. >> just to follow up on supervisor maxwell's comments. if the comptroller is looking at the potential liability for retiree benefits. be >> each year, we do

projections on a couple of friends. one is under an accounting rule and this is required every year to complete the 30-year projection of what our unfunded health-care liability is. this is one of those years that we will be completing that report. we are nearing completion. secondly, as each of you know and bergius to seeing in our three-year budget projections, we have prepared a three-year look of our expectations for our employer contributions to the pension fund. >> we will be doing it again next spring. >> does any of this include recommendations that we may take? >> both of those are projections. no, neither one includes on their face recommendations for changes. i think it is time for us to

consult with different board members on possibilities and we would be prepared to do that in the future. >> i think a lot of good points were made. there are many issues we are looking at. i will support the work of the committee and that is a recommendation that came out and to my colleagues look at the possibilities. we will be doing that today. thank you. chiu: any additional conversation? if we could take a roll-call vote on this item. >> item 24, campos aye. chiu aye. chu aye. daly no. dufty aye. elsbernd no. mar. aye. maxwell aye. mirkarimi aye. alioto-pier no.

avalos aye. there are seven -- 8 ayes and three nos. supervisor chiu: this motion is approved. >> item 25 is an ordinance amendment that five of the general plan for the downtown plan to change the height and vote classification of the west corner for property located at 222 second street. item 26 is an ordinance amending the zoning map 1ht to change the height and bulk declassification of the west corner. on items 25 and 26, campos aye. chiu aye. chu aye. daly aye. dufty aye. elsbernd aye. mar aye. maxwell aye.

mirkarimi aye. alioto-pier aye. avalos aye. there are 11 aye. supervisor avalos: -- supervisor chiu: these ordinances are passed on the first reading. >> item 27 is an ordinance designating 1890 chestnut street as a landmark under article 10 of the san francisco planning code. supervisor chiu: this ordinance is passed on the first reading. item 28. >> item 28 is from the land use and economic committee with a recommendation of do not pass with an ordinance designating the north beach branch library located at 2000 mason street as a landmark under article 10 of the san francisco planning code. supervisor chiu: colleagues, this is an item that came out of our land use committee with a "do not pass" recommendation,

and i would like to ask for your no vote on this measure. the specific issue before us is whether we should designate as a landmark the north beach branch library. the historic preservation commission debated the potential landmarking of this library at eight meetings between july 2009 and september 2010. they voted three times on it. deadlocked once. it twice passed with a one-vote margin. there has been a legitimate question if the north beach library deserves landmarking. we have received numerous feedback from prominent architects, architectural historians, neighborhood historians, and those from the preservation community against the landmarking. they point out that of the seven libraries that have been designated by appleton and woolford, the north beach library is the least representative and most lacking architectural characteristics of that style. as i'm sure all of you here

support preservation when merited, our city has to date renovated and preserved 18 public libraries. we have also preserved a six libraries from the sperm for future generations, and i certainly support that preservation, but i do not think that including buildings that black architectural merit -- i think that cheapens the historic landmark designation for other buildings that do have merit, and this is why, colleagues, the land use committee decided what we did and why i would ask for your note on this item today. -- for your no vote on this item today. supervisor campos: colleagues, can we get a roll call on this? same house/colorado? no, roll call? >> campos no. chiu no.

chu no. daly aye. dufty no. elsbernd no. mar no. maxwell no. mirkarimi no. alioto-pier no. avalos no. there is one aye and 10 nos. supervisor campos: this ordinance is not passed on his reading and fails. supervisor chiu: we have a number of committee reports. why don't we start with item 29? >> item 29, motion approving the mayors of women of clotting -- the mayor's reappointment of claudine cheng to the treasure island development authority board. supervisor chiu: colleagues, if we could call item 30, 31, and

32 together. >> item 30 is a motion approving the mayor's reappointment of john elberling to the treasure island development authority board. item 31 is a motion approving the mayor's reappointment of linda richardson to the treasure island development authority board of directors. item 32 is a motion approving the mayor's reappointment of jean-paul samaha to the treasure island development authority board of directors. supervisor daly: thank you, mr. president and colleagues. let me say there is at least one director here who i have supported several times, who has done excellent work on tida and who deserves to be reappointed, and i think that there is some merit to some of the other

appointments as well, but representing treasure island here on the board of supervisors, having in the rules committee gone to some lengths to block commission appointment in order to get actual representation from residents of treasure island on to the treasure island development authority at this 11th hour, not just of the appointing authority's tenure as mayor of san francisco, but also the 11th hour of this supervisor's tenure here on the board of supervisors and my role on tida. i think that these appointments, especially in addition with the two other appointments considered in committee of the two weary
