world. a having created walking tours of chinatown, and one that she read it was making my way through chinatown. get a tremendous sense of humor and has come from a very talented family including her brother that many of you out, a writer here in the bay area. the rest of my items, i will submit them. >> it wasn't that long ago that this board passed legislation that i introduced that responded to what i thought was a significant blow back of the redevelopment era. that is that there was no zoning regulation in excused and emerson -- emergent corridors that would have regulated or prohibited non storefront retail.

we sought doctors' offices and others offices that had no real purpose to a on that side of the street. it was a very lopsided of fact that absolutely undermined the potential for a good emergent corridor like the fillmore. as land use restrictions that we had passed will not allow for that to be permitted in the future. i am extending the same ever to japan town, is struggling area, one of three remaining in the united states, also has suffered from adverse effects, the development and urban renewal. there are those that want to have a storefront office space and denied the opportunity for mom-and-pop retail to be there.

that does not do anything for a proper boy. like for them to correct the planning code now that it has reverted back to us as 2009, amending the section of the san francisco planning code to prohibit a medical service used for service used on the ground floor in the area, and the japan out special use district in making environmental findings. supervisor campos: thank you, very much. let me wish everyone a very happy right week. another of the many facilities throughout the rest of the week and will afford to the pride parade this sunday. i have one item, let me thank the supervisor for being a sponsor of this item, an

ordinance that amends the administrative code to require that separate over time items in the budget for certain departments, they have to obtain a separate supplemental appropriations to exceed those amounts. as many of you are aware, the comptroller's office presented his overtime report. that item came to the government audit and oversight committee a few weeks ago. we were all disappointed to learn that the budgeted over time for fiscal year 2010-2011 is projected to be overspent by close to $40 million. we recognize that there may be some instances when overtime is appropriate. but what we have seen is the amount of money spent on

overtime continues to increase and a 40 million expenditure above the amount is pretty significant. most of that over time, and 97% comes from the larger departments and includes the fire, police, public health. public works, emergency management, recreation and parks. the top five departments account for 87% of the overtime hours. mta, fire, police, public health. we have to approve budgets for these departments and also received reports of overtime on a monthly basis. i did not believe we have the adequate tools to manage

overtime and to make sure that we reduce the amount of overtime that is being spent. for that reason, this legislation that i am introducing, i want to thank the supervisor for his sponsorship and his health in putting this together. it introduces good government and responsible budgeting into this process by amending the administrative cohan so that in order to make an expenditure that goes beyond the amount that has been budgeted, the top 10 departments have to come to the board of supervisors for approval. this is something that is already happening in terms of businesses containing over time expenditures in the private sector and it is only appropriate that we try to institute the same discipline. let me also noted that because

of the way the mta were, we do not have the legal power to make this ordinance applied to the mta, and therefore, when this ordinance, we introduce a resolution that encourages the mta to develop a plan to manage overtime overruns to adopt a policy that properly addresses the issue of overtime. the mta accounts for 5.4 million of the projected overruns in overtime for the fiscal year. and in fact, as it was made in 2011, it accounts for 41% of the total over time. i look forward to a full briefing and discussion of these items that the government thought it an oversight committee.

the rest i submit, thank you. >> i really want to say, a quick happy birthday to william marshall who is here in the audience. >> last week, it was her birthday. she is one of the youth commissioners that as a high school student. it was her birthday last week. we wanted to wish her happy birthday this week. supervisor farrell: 1 hearing request, that is in the community loan program, for those not familiar with this, it was administered by the mayor's office of housing for the police officers here in the states. we call a hearing to try to better understand the collective

best of the program. and to understand the ways that we can make it better and expands to include the first responders on the ground. as you prepare for emergencies that we know will come at some point, in particular, the next earthquake. how to call the different department heads and look forward to discussing it further, seeing no other names, mr. president, that concludes roll call for introductions. president chiu: let's go to general public comment. >> the opportunity to address the board for two minutes on subject matter jurisdiction including adoption without committee, excluding items that have already been considered by a board committee. they will be allowed at twice the amount of time. if they live like a document to be displayed on the projector,

display and as such. >> 2 minutes per speaker >> they don't accept money from the foundation. >> democracy is undercut by the ability to destroy truth and corporate interests. i hope you're able to make the library we open this weekend. they praised it as an example of our tax dollars at work. the branch remodeling, i don't have to tell you how egregiously wrong that is. it is scheduled to be completed in january of 2010.

in this case, it is 30 months of delay. they increased the budget by 3 million and that inflated budget, what really matters is that the politicians are out there. the most recent report reveals that the budget is expected to total 1.9 8 million and with 19 branches completed, the public has expanded 81% of their share. the friends of the foundation originally claimed it would raise 16 million edit today, they have extended to 7.1% of their share. the operator on the premise that they have no relationship whatsoever and if the public would be happy, we are only slaves anyway.

the branch, like all others provided plenty of naming opportunities that can be sold for private benefit.

has come to believe it is a good idea to introduce tons of thai airways in the public spaces that even the manufacturers freely and knowledge there are unrelated chemicals and heavy metals. specifically for a sport like soccer, and this is that -- necessitates children and athletes hyperventilating. this is not unique to san francisco. like a lead paint and asbestos before that, it will take time before we get to the long-term rent. for years, there've been pushing the synthetic fuels. but like the tobacco industry, they claim the health benefits of cigarettes. following the advice of the council, we are preparing for litigation and to facilitate investigative searches, we are inserting the key words, synthetic artificial turf,

public and children's health hazards, and no particulates, mercury poisoning, chronic asthma, narrow and implementation, fisher construction, recommend parks, galvanism recommended we send the office [chime] >> for the record, i am one of 37 candidates for mayor. of like to bring to your attention that i spoke before the mta before their

termination. in the closed session, i called for a criminal investigation on the link between the inner office and payroll and the mta. it must amount to $100 million. by my own calculations. hull also like to call for this board to investigate the mta agenda at in terms of how it came about that may 4 was hired, a man with a high-school diploma. not accepted in any state in the united states. a man accused of embezzlement in atlanta georgia. to the tune of 175,000, they knew about it here. a man that also was responsible for the city and county of

atlanta to pay out $1.1 million a sexual harassment suit. he was responsible for it. after he took atlanta to the biggest bankruptcy in history, he has done the same for us here. and how this came about, we will request the city attorney, by letter next week to investigate this linkage. to bring it to the surface for accountability. this is the same city attorney, by the way that is also running for mayor that has not produced up to 40 documents that i have requested. [chime]

>> 1776, revolution glory. constitution of the united states, we the people, in order to form a more perfect union established justice, insure domestic tranquility, provide a common defense, promote general welfare, secure the blessings of liberty. establishing constitutions to the united states of america. article 1, article 2, article 4, article 5. the complex the states that with a constitution referral has women pose the right to, not right to vote. the federal right of states to privileges, immunities, and

he would make my life difficult. between 2002 and 2011 -- [chime] president chiu: next speaker. >> he really surprised me today. i just walked in and you are already on public comment. you're moving along really fast. i have to tell you, i deserve the credit for this because i have walked through that area countless times. i have been of part of the village where they actually have the village on the same ground. i was walking through there and something said nothing is commemorating this very important part of history in san francisco in the world. i am asking for your vote.

>> for anybody that cares about the library, i ask you to please pay attention. the library has a couple of things going. one is the elimination of printed notices for patrons. according to this fire, starting july 1, 2011, the san francisco public library will eliminate be printed notices for reserved and overdue items. they will not be any printed notices. for those that may not have a convenient e-mail address, they will hurt them very badly. and for some patrons, it could be career ending. they owe a lot of money for

overdue or build books. this was never approved by the library commission. as we raised strong objections, there were quite a number of library commissioners that were concerned about this. they have said they will look into it again and they have not committed to stopping this program dead in its tracks. with respect to the budget, the library should be having a priority on books and open hours. after we expressed concern about the cut that the administration wanted to do, and half a million dollars in book cuts even as the overall budget increases by more than $2 million. the library commission voted hugh a lemonade and the cuts altogether.

>> i am here to encourage your enthusiastic support of designation of the vigil commemoration. i am very excited about this project, and i think the idea has been fantastic. they will leave a message for future generations of about what a few individuals are able to do. people with aids, not empowered, not intelligence necessarily, not connected change themselves

to the federal building to demand the government respond. they have this sense of hope that a lot of disenfranchise people might be -- is when we don't have hope. everything that we can do to inspire people, i think, helps for the betterment of society.

these are primarily homeless people that are in the encampment for 10 years. after 30 years of effort, just over 12 people have access to housing. [chime] president chiu: are there any members of the public that wish to speak in general comment? general public comment is closed. let's go to the adoption calendar. >> considered for immediate reference. if a member request discussion of an item, it will be considered. president chiu: roll call vote on the calendar.

there rare 10 aye's. president chiu: irresolutions are adopted and if we can go to the imperative agenda. >> there is a resolution commending the fire marshal for her immense service to the city and declaring june 23, 2011 to be recognition day. >> the supervisor has circulated the resolution as he has described.

and you have anything you want to say about this? supervisor avalos will make a motion that we adopt a preliminary finding. seconded by supervisor farrell. let me ask if there is any public comment on this resolution. and now, if we could have a roll call vote on the resolution as offered. [roll call vote]

the resolution is adopted. i understand that supervisor mirkarimi has a special order. if we could move to that special water a few minutes early and without objection, that chubby the case. supervisor mirkarimi: thank you, mr. president and colleagues. quite commonly, we recognize great city employees that are on because of retirement. today, i want to recognize individuals with the share of's department. the echoes of lung curriers are best left to retirement parties that we know will happen on friday. what makes this recognition a little bit different, they are married. the bid and the share of's department for over 50 years.

if i can bring them up, it will be wonderful. they joined the san francisco sheriff's department in 1990 and is known for his ability to embrace and implement the new. he helped organize the work flow program. responsibility for it was transferred in the early 1980's. he was on the team that implemented the work alternative program. among the first program to offer an alternative to incarceration. he was chosen to be on the transition team. designed specifically to incorporate the principles of direct supervision. the department's first jail.
