action coalition for his work and that organization has been interested in trying to model after cities that are trying to do more to provide student housing. in boston, for example, over 10 years, they implore institutions of higher education to meet the needs. for higher education, craig's list is the devolved. a lot of family rental housing -- it will provide some stimulus for the development of new

housing. none of it will be utilizing a residential hotel buildings. these are people that like to live as a vibrant, active lives. i think -- again, i want to thank them for working with us on this. we appreciate your support. president chiu: any further discussion? can we take this item same house, same call? without objection, it is passed as amended. >> item 20 is amending the

administrative code for city funded private projects. supervisor dufty: first, i want to thank supervisors supervisor alioto-pier -- supervisors alioto-pier, chiu, mar, and maxwell. we want to look at the development of a facility to ensure that a feasibility study is conducted. there are reasonable affordable housing developments that include child care and them. we know that child care is an afterthought and it is almost always impossible because of

state licensing requirements, safety features, access to outdoor space, and they really have to be made up front. i will say that in conjunction, it is the instrument co and development in -- it will be instrumental in developing. only 51% of families that want child care have access to it right now. and taking advantage of opportunities that exist, we want to make changes to buildings. i have worked with the director of the mayor's office of housing. he is interested in seeing for the purpose of residential

units, that we draw a distinction between the development. examples would be the project on church and the commons. the city college and ocean avenue. they are all examples of developments the require us to look at these studies for child care. and smaller scale homeowner projects.

i have a copy that indicates -- i would like to offern a an amendment. subsection a, this chapter will be applicable for more than -- and a development project proposed by a private developer with any funds unless the developer is required to comply with the planning code. i would offer that amendment. president chiu: supervisor dufty has made an amendment. without objection, the amendment passes. can we take this item same house, same call? without objection, it is passed on first reading as amended.

to the committee report, starting with item 41. >> items 41-48 were considered and forwarded to the board as the committee reports. amending the administrative code to provide for the electronic distribution of documents. supervisor mirkarimi: thank you, mr. president. i like to thank you, -- i would like to thank you, yourself. i believe this is pretty straightforward. if you calculate the amount of pages that were before us in the last land-use appeal that we had, or the agreement that came before us, times 11, times the

distribution to the public, we exceeded 1 million pages of printed material, the paper. in a way that i believe we can be more cost-effective, more efficient, and stick to our laurels. it provides an option so that it is not always the reflects that we are giving some much paper out but we will provide an alternative so that we can be a little bit more mindful of the resources we waste. why didn't we do this before? we are doing it, and your support would be appreciated. president chiu: can we take this item same house, same call? >it's passed. >> item 42, publication

requirements. supervisor mirkarimi: i'd like to stand for this one. the inspiration of me putting this ordinance before us is because i think anyone of us in our own offices has to fill the frustrations of the citizenry that feel they don't have the access to information that anyone of our city departments or commissions. let's take recreation and parks. i can tell you that there are a number of people throughout the city that would like to get more information or at least have the pathway to more information may be easier said it is not such a hunt to try to understand what is the decision making process for the departments, they can be able to interface, and what are the mechanisms to help influence

the decision making process? it is somewhat of a puzzle. it should not make it more pit -- difficult for the citizenry. that is what our democratic principles are all about. it is time that we look at our assets a little bit more efficiently. we have a web site, sfgov. it is time to help share some real estate on that website by putting notifications of of department actions so that it is that much more vivid and clear for people so that they have the kind of electronic road map and know what to do. it doesn't make sense that we just rely on the newspaper noticing.

something to you can pull up for us? this is the standard that was part of san francisco's strategy for the last 40 years. it is done in three ways. the that before you is the real fault and the real size, or it will be beside -- behind the clerk's office. you ask yourselves why anyone of us have to feel what i think is important, that people need access to information. it is a simple tweak. we break down the barriers. newspaper notifications are necessary, and we obligate ourselves to make sure that we

increase the assets of where we notified. we may get that much easier for the public to get in touch with us. in the 69 commissions, task forces, or advisory groups that most people don't know exist. that is what this ordinance is about. president chiu: same house, same call? this is passed on the first reading. >> to list the officials of economic interests -- a list of employees. president chiu: this ordinance is passed on the first reading. >> item 44 is a resolution of

the lawsuit filed on january 28 in 7 it is superior court. president chiu: same house, same call. >> resolution of a lawsuit filed by charles haynes. president chiu: this ordinance is passed on the first reading. >> authorizing settlement of a lawsuit filed on october 2, 2009 in san francisco superior court. president chiu: this is passed on the first reading. >> amending the administrative code to extend the operation of the voting systems taskforce. president chiu: this ordinance is passed of the first reading. >> approving the settlement of

the unmitigated claim by the motorist insurance group for approximately $49,000. president chiu: this resolution is adopted. >> items 49-51 were considered and forwarded. item 49 is adding 15.7 to the police cohan, requiring promoters to register. -- police code, requiring promoters to register. president chiu: same house, same call. >> this item was recommended as amended bearing a new title. supervisor alioto-pier: this legislation will put standards in the administrative code for how the city handles had tests

dna evidence. they said reasonable goals -- sexual assault cases, officers must collect evidence not only at the crime scene, but also for a health-care provider. in new york city, cleveland, and los angeles, they have committed to a policy of testing every sample. this legislation also makes it city policy to fully fund these critical programs. i would like to thank the assistant chief for their assistance with this critical legislation, and i like to abolish the hard work of the people in our own department. president chiu: this ordinance is passed on the first reading.

>> item 51, authorizing the police department to retroactively to accept and expect to grant funds in the amount of approximately $424,000. president chiu: same house, same call. this is passed on first reading. what we go to roll call -- why don't we go to roll call? president chiu: today, i am introducing a piece of legislation that would amend the public works co related to the distribution of handbills and fliers. many residents have come to us with a large amount of litter in neighborhoods that are generated by fires. these often end up in the streets because they are not affixed to private premises. the current penalties are criminal. because these are rarely

prosecuted, they are often high in their enforcement efforts. he cited requirement is very large and quite attractive. last year, as a result of verging on behalf of my office and others, they created a task force to come up with the distribution of handbills. the legislation i am submitting today is a product of the task force efforts. it includes changes to the current law as follows. the proposal would require distributors to attach handbills in a manner that does not prevent them from being blown away by the wind. it makes them more attractive for silage. and it replaces the credible -- porcine age. and it replaces the criminal -- signage.

and it replaces the criminal. supervisor mirkarimi: i am introducing an amendment to my resolution supporting the recommendation of the peak oil taskforce. is a time when maximum global production is reached and it begins to decline regardless of the man or price. san francisco is the largest city to formally consider the consequences, but many other u.s. cities are starting to entertain the concept. the concept is often viewed as a sort of surreal, science fiction, mad max type of vision for the future. we just noticed with the failure of the cancun climate change

conference, and there is little that is being done on the kind of level that the man did. about green has -- greenhouse gas emissions, evereducing our reliance on oil as it comes to fight supplies. we believe is prudent -- such as the countywide transportation plan, the economic development plan, also the department of management. unhearthis friday, i will be hoa

party in the theme will be peak oil. i am also submitting an im memorian -- in memoriam. they were born and raised in the western addition. she loved her family and live with her mother -- lived with her mother denise. she worked as a grocery bagger. she planned to enroll at the job corps in january. she is remembered by her loving mother and father. i was dispatched when homicides occurred. it happens to be one of the many

dozens. we have such an important to respite - -a- an important respite. it broke a trend which we are really sad about it. it really should never be repeated. next, following up on the drug disposal ordinance, it requires pharmacies to post notices alerting their customers of locations where they can dispose of expired drugs. in the pilot we are trying to broker with the administration and the pharmaceutical industry, both safeway and walgreen's, four pharmaceuticals are not

playing ball with us. i believe that a law that will compel notification of where we do set up a receptacle program is something that we will insist upon. >> supervisor elsbernd. supervisor campos. supervisor avalos. supervisor avalos: i have one item, and resolution. i have been a longtime supporter, they have been hit very hard by the current recession. the radio station provides a lot of perspective.
