the san francisco municipal transportation agencies relocation impact study and last resort housing plan for the central subway project. president chiu: this item is passed on the same reading. item number 22. madam clerk: an ordinance adding article 15.7 to the san francisco police code. >> president chiu? thank you, mr. chair. colleagues, this is something for the first time that would create regulation. i think everyone is acutely aware that not only have we had a number of instances of violence lely, but under the entertainment commission, we have had about 80% of the incidences that have occurred

have resulted in permits being revoked or suspended. colleagues, what i would like to ask today is that we have had a very robust conversation at the public safety committee. this is legislation that was supported by the entertainment commission and others, as well as by the san francisco police department. this is just a place on record what the amendments are. there are four specific amendments that involved the san francisco police department on one hand working with industry representatives and the entertainment commission. the first amendment would add

language to exclude from the language of bona fide fund- raising events those that have commercial or marketing for a third party, and a second amendment would add language to exclude or amend coverage for events covered by the city, such as the black and white ball. and there is the power to remove a promoter from the online registry. this is if they submitted false or incomplete information. if the promoter did that, he would not be able to register for one year. and this would not require anything else beyond that, unless and until a particular party promoter resulted in some

type of public safety issue or something else, in which case additional requirements, such as insurance and other security items would begin. i want to thank supervisor maxwell force support, and at this time, i would like to make a motion to amend. >> colleagues, we have a motion from president chiu? can we take this? president chiu: this is a motion to refer. >> so we have a motion by president chiu, seconded by supervisor note -- supervisor

avalos. president chiu: items 27 and 28. madam clerk: these were forwarded as reports, and item 27 is about appointing rodney fong to the planning commission, and item 28 is a motion rejecting the mayor's appointment of rodney fong. president chiu: colleagues, i recognize that these to the idea items came out of committee without recommendation. we can take a roll-call vote. madam clerk: [reading roll]

there are 11 ayes. president chiu: there is a motion from supervisor mirkarimi, seconded by supervisor alioto-pier. supervisor maxwell, do you want to re-refer? supervisor maxwell: i think we will have to wait. president chiu: which i will that be? president maxwell: i do not

know. we will have to wait. president chiu: ok, so why do we not move to roll call? madam clerk: supervisor elsbernd? supervisor elsbernd: we had -- this was a direct result of conversations with various stakeholders related to local hiring and projects in san francisco, and we have had

discussions with other of work union tradesmen and women in san francisco. many community groups, small businesses, and local business enterprises. and this provided our office with an idea and we worked closely in this will insure greatest success.

at the attorney's office, i want to think some people for their work. -- thank some people. the legislation starts a 25%, and that is 5% per year. and we have a real opportunity to support the community by keeping local dollars in the local area, creating access for jobs with worker protection and good wages in targeting parks --

pockets of stubborn unemployment, communities that have been promised jobs and who have not received them. lastly, we know that it's shorter commutes, reducing global warming conditions, and impacting our environment, this legislation will be for next wednesday. there is a 12:00 hearing that will start, and a look forward to committee participation, and others have participated in this effort, as well. madam clerk: thank you, supervisor avalos. supervisor mirkarimi? supervisor maxwell? supervisor maxwell: i just wanted to comment on supervisor avalos.

i do not think he left any rock unturned. this is a very, very difficult issue. if it was not, we would not need to be here. it's good faith was all that we needed, we would have done a long time ago, and i want to think supervisor -- thank supervisor avalos. madam clerk: supervisor mirkarimi, you wanted to be referred? supervisor mirkarimi: yes, i wanted to let supervisor maxwell. first, i wanted to create a single emission's pass for all of the recreation and parks department. this pass would be good for one day. the japanese tea garden and botanical gardens. it would have resident and

nonresident rates that would provide a few dollars' savings, and it would require all contracts or grant agreements to collect entrance fees and authorize this at recreation and park facilities, that it be approved by the commission. until now, there is no process that requires that each of the board of supervisors or the recreation and park commission be given that authority for approving the particular agreement. we would like to see a process of sunshine instituted so that this is now being instituted and held accountable. next, i am submitting an ordinance for amending the re- entry console. it has been doing extremely well. they have distributed more than 13,000 copies of its getting

out and staying out of the criminal justice resources system guide. jails and prisons. they will finalize the reentry strategic report december 7. they will convene a statewide network this january to help other areas learned from the san franciscans success. more than any other city or county in california, based on our great work. with that, i am changing part of this, and the amendment would affect the department of youth and family. it also clarifies the role of

probation. the adult probation department would provide administrative support. i have spoken with a chief from adult probation, who has done amazing work with hitting the ground running and has modernized the impact. this is before us. next, i am also submitting a legislative request to the city attorney to establish an adaptation policy with the city. the policy to be drafted in proposed for an intercity taskforce. it has been led by the mayor's office, it included the department of public works, ddi, we development, port, parks, mta, public utilities commission, and other relevant departments -- dbi,

redevelopment. with the rise of sea level over the next century, including our oceanside, and developing recommendations, the city administrator would be asked to consult with agencies with per view over san francisco bay -- with purview over san francisco bay. it will be submitted to the board of supervisors, and hopefully this will become official policy, since none exists right now in the city and county of san francisco. next, i am submitting a hearing request on the kate kashkari recycling center. -- on the haight-ashbury recycling center. this is a long standing institution, and the perspective each of this institution.

there are a number of communities who have some strong opinions about the status of this recycling center and its future. the rest i will submit. supervisor -- madam clerk date you, supervisor mirkarimi -- madam clerk: thank you, supervisor mirkarimi. supervisor elsbernd? supervisor elsbernd will submit. supervisor campos? supervisor campos will submit. supervisor?

supervisor: this is in my district in chinatown. there is a historic parking garage that has been an incredible asset of the community. it was in danger of having its lease ended, and i want to thank the recreation and park department as well as the community for working together to come up with an understanding of a multi-year lease to move them forward. and i will be submitted other items. madam clerk: thank you, mr. president. supervisor maxwell? supervisor maxwell: i am submitting two things dealing with the commission. the puc is being commended on the community benefits program and working toward the adoption of greater integration.

the sec and urges -- the second urges the puc to replace a treatment facility and to move forward with that project expeditiously. it also includes language developed in partnership with community advocates that highlights the importance of making decisions related to the facility and adherence to environmental standards. both of these resolutions will be the substance of the hearing on december 6 at land use. also, i am calling for a hearing on the current effort to update the energy resource plan. staff, along with a very committed group of stakeholders, is moving very close to a draft of that document, and it will be useful to obtain a status update on their work. and lastly, as you may have heard, disconnect the east bay

to the san francisco peninsula -- this is to connect the east bay to the san francisco peninsula. we believe that the final outstanding piece -- this is located in a neighborhood. this is not a cause to celebrate early when hearing good news, but this is clearly a major step forward for all who have fought and pushed for so long for the outdated power plants in san francisco. we are also eagerly tracking projects, which are expected to be completed by the end of the year. there is the closure of the potrero plant. supervisor: fred was a new

yorker and for many years the only teacher at harvey milk university. providing a haven for lgbt students, and fred died after battling liver cancer this past monday, and fred has lived with aids for nearly 30 years. the harvey milk school, named for a supervisor or a colleague, was established and supported by the board education, and he volunteered to teach the incoming class who gathered in april 1985 at a church in greenwich village, and later, the school moved. back then, it was an old-time country school, where everything was jumbled, from science, english, mathematics, and language.

what was most unique was the students themselves, many of which who were throwing young people, who had been abused in their homes or threatened with violence and who had come to new york city and some of whom were homeless in were able to come to a school to be nurtured and supported -- and were able to come to school to be nurtured and supported. he changed the direction of the lives of these and other people who have come to the school. in recent years, the school has received full accreditation in the new york city school system. i am also submitting an in memoriam for the member of the san francisco police department. he rose through the ranks and retired as a captain in 1997. he was known for his love of vintage vehicles and spent every

day of his retirement refurbishing cars. he was a football fan, and he is survived by his best friend and former wife, his son, his daughter, and three grandchildren, who will miss him greatly. madam clerk: thank you, supervisor dufty. unless i have missed anyone? mr. president, that ends the roll call introduction. president chiu: close to 3:00, i would like to move to another section, so we will have some public comment. first speaker, please. first, i need to ask if you would like to say anything about public comment? madam clerk: think you, mr. president. public, is a time for members of the public to directly address

the board of items of interest to the public better with in the subject matter jurisdiction of the board, including items being considered today -- not been considered by a board committee and excluding items which a big considered by a board committee. president chiu: thank you. first speaker. >> [speaking foreign language]

ladies and gentlemen, my name is -- i am here to tell every one of you happy holiday and happy thanksgiving. i wish to remind our supervisors as i asked them last week about the poor people who need turkeys. one person at a birthday. as you see in my letter. today, she is becoming 50 your

we buy turkey for the homeless, and someone take it for themselves. i want to thank those for giving the children of my city gifts and toys. [bell] thank you, and happy holidays. president chiu: thank you. next speaker. >> do not give money to the foundation, and do not take money from the foundation. there are the full dimensions of the scandal. you may remember that plagiary 2010 was the month to remodel all of the branch libraries -- you may remember that january 2010 was the month.

that program " was little over half finished and over budget substantially and still growing. what has happened in the 10 years of public financing? there are a private meeting opportunities with no accountability. since the year 2000, the fund- raisers have had total income of over $31 million. during the same period, the same donations to libraries were $3.10 million. last year, it was only 6.5%. the richer they get, the less they need to donate to the library. actually, last year, contributions dropped from 4000 $98,000. -- $498,000.

the increase in the payroll was more than the total donation to the library. the executive director's salary went up 19% from $178,000 212% to -- to $212,000. if you ever looked for an example of how private interest for its public policy, the library would have to be the worst example. that is why i always say the allies cost more than the money. thank you. supervisor chiu: thank you. next speaker. >> good afternoon. walter paulson. here is my bobblehead of the mayor, the new lieutenant

governor. he autographed it there. he is going to have to do better. ♪ have i told you lately that i love you and your city have i told you there is no one else of love you you feel my heart with gladness put away all my budget city's sadness and mental health madness ease my budget troubles -- that is what you do the morning sun in all its glory it makes the city hall a never- ending story there is the city that is defined and it is yours and it is mine at the end of the day, you should give thanks and praise to the city board who does all the work have i told you lately that i love you
