be subject to assessment. >> roll call vote 7? [calling votes] supervisor daly: no. >> there are 10 ayes, one no. >> item 55. >> item 55 through 57 were considered by the land use economic development committee and were forwarded to the board as committee reports. item 55 was recommended by the board, an ordinance to establish

new requirements for personal wireless permits, to increase certain fees, amending the administrative code and making provisions of the ordinance retroactive. supervisor avalos: thank you. i live in a district that has very little underground utility poles, and what happens is they are a prime location for wireless technology for cellphone to go up all across the city. what happens is there is no aesthetic standard put in place for these facilities when they are put up on a pole. over night, residents can come home at night, and they will see a huge box sticking out of a utility pole in front of their

window. there are many places in my district where that has happened. between lisbon and paris. there is a part of the sidewalk where you have to walk between the utility pole and the bay window. this is happening all over the city, and we can do better to make sure we have standards about creating value through our utility poles for the city and county of san francisco. there is public notice on private property, but for the public, there is no notice. this as a few things. it establishes a different review process, starting a three-tiered system based on visual impact. there will be tier one,

relatively small, and it will have of permitting process that will not necessarily go through a review. tier 2 will have a different process, depending on whether it is installed in a protected location. that would be next to a park or in a commercial district or adjacent to a historical landmark for a historical a significant district. it would require further review by the planning department for the recreation and parks department. 23 would have no size limits, but they would require an automatic review by the planning department and allows an opportunity to protest before final approval of the application. it adds residential and neighborhood commercial zoning districts as protected areas. currently protected areas are determined by the planning department. public parks will also go

through an additional review. it encourages the planting of trees to increase greenery and serve as screening. all wireless equipment will eventually come into compliance with this ordinance. this process went to many stakeholder meetings and conversations with the city attorney's office, the planning department, the department of public health and neighborhood associations, and over the past year, they have addressed concerns of constituents, as it is legally defensible for all departments. local jurisdictions are severely constrained about what we can legislate on utility poles, so this must not go as far as we would like, but it will make the process much better, especially

around the aesthetics of our wireless facility. the planning commission held a hearing in october and voted unanimously to support the legislation, yet the land use committee unanimously recommended it for approval. the co-sponsors i want to thank -- supervisor campos and mar. i want to give thanks to the deputy city attorney who worked on this. doug lorranger, david bancroft.

i also want to thank francis, who did monumental work to make sure this legislation came to us today. >> if we could take a roll call vote on this item. [calling votes]

>> this ordinance is fast -- is passed. >> item 57 of aids the community fee and the fund -- item 57 is the community and find. -- fund. >> this is passed on the first reading. we now go to roll call. >> today i have an in memorium for jonathan simmons.

jonathan was an artist whose personal story can inspire all san franciscans to become their best when making the most of their individual talents. jonathan was told he would not make enough money to support himself. he traveled to new york and learned the skills of photography, painting, and eventually engineering. this man became a technical illustrator who worked to design the lunar module, designed in ejection seats from fighter planes and solved numerous problems. all the while his sensational -- insatiable quest made him a collector of rare items from

stamps and coins to pocket knives. jonathan moved to san francisco asking the children to search for the perfect place. he is the sort of san franciscan who not only loves the city but also understood and appreciated its unique beauty and wonderment. it is with heavy heart that his wife and two remaining sons and their family bid farewell to this husband and father. i want to say my family's thoughts and prayers are with the family. abraham is a remarkable person and someone i respect greatly,

so it is with great condolence we will keep them in our thoughts and prayers this christmas season. >> thank you. supervisor chu? supervisor daly? supervisor dufty? >> the first ordinance authorizes the reward to john doe, an anonymous citizen who provided information that led to the arrest of a criminal defendant -- mark ashley was killed in the early morning back in the summer of 2007, so i want to acknowledge the cooperation for providing information that has led to the persecution of a defendant, and we extend our continued condolences.

the first is for ruth white, and together they provided leadership for 48 years. ruth passed away on the fifth of december common -- fifth of december, and she was a mother and also has 16 grandchildren and 18 grandchildren, brooklyn- born and had a promising career as an actress and seeking to be a star on broadway when she decided to change her life and instead become a religious leader, joining her husband, who was a rabbi, and she was

involved in many programs and services provided to young people and performances done, and early in her career, they wrote a review of a production calling her the high point of the play, and her children and grandchildren say that is how they remember how her. i am also submiting a memoriium for jim acevedo, who passed away at the age of 60 after a valiant fight against pancreatic cancer. he began a long career of service, and he joined the police department. he was rewarded the bronze medal

of valor and was promoted to the rank of sergeant in 2003. he was a scuba diver and training coordinator, and he is survived by his wife of 21 years. several of -- he was -- while he was a resident, he was born and raised in san francisco. he served two years for the u.s. marine reserve, two years for the army, and when don who have a distinguished career at the community college. he was the president of the faculty, and among his contributions was a

developmental program for students with disabilities. he was a sports enthusiast and was a lifelong 40 niners fans. he also wrote a fiction novel and obtained several patents for inventions used by golfers. i do want to note that his brother was the chief of police. lastly, edward walsh was one of seven children who grew up here in san francisco and considered golden gate park to be their backyard and experienced all the great things happening in san francisco. he was a huge 40 niner fan and a longtime member of the olympic club. he served in germany, where he met the love of his life.

in a telegram, he asked her to marry him, and they were married in 1958, and they have four daughters. he was a very respected member of the legal community, a 46- year resident, and his daughters left him with 10 grandchildren and a great life, and he will be greatly missed. >> thank you. supervisor maxwell? supervisor mirkarimi? >> thank you, madam clerk. i have several items quickly.

following up on a number of items we had engaged in on trying to reform work force laws and concentrating on strengthening local hiring requirements, i want to start in tackling more of this issue that remains to be tackled. i am going to ask for a hearing to review various avenues. this includes private projects that are subsidized, those governed by the redevelopment agency, and the mandatory local hiring issue that has been passed. incorporating local requirements in the project agreements and local hiring policy with city support and redevelopment agency

is not currently covered in the legislation we have passed. i believe it is time we have a healthy conversation about ways we can continue to answer these questions. next i am submitting an ordinance that allows voters to offer alternatives pamphlets similar to the laws we just passed on allowing the government to save trees, papers, money, and not inundating the public with so much information. so goes the question about the voter information pamphlets. the board has been criticized in the past for some of our ideas. i am introducing ideas that will save us money while modernizing how we deliver material to voters. this will allow local

governments to develop procedures to allow voters to receive voter information pamphlets by e-mail instead of five snail mail. voters will receive election -- instead of by snail mail. voters will receive election material by mail. in november's most recent election, san franciscans and $436,000 on printing and mailing voter information pamphlets. the department enthusiastically endorses this idea. charter section 13.1 07, which states they should been mailed to each elector is one we should address. next i am submitting an ordinance for commercial uses on fillmore street between bush and mcallister. we inherited the fillmore corridor from the redevelopment agency, different versions of land use protocols that have

allowed store fronts to be used for non-retail purposes. we have a problem that on the west side of fillmore street between gary and mcallister, many of those businesses are used for non-retail purposes. i want to make sure we have land-use protocols that helped reorient that practice. the rest i will submit. i just want to inform you something weird is happening tomorrow. the coastal commission is meeting in the chamber. it is meeting tomorrow and friday.
