would have a process that would be very inclusive of the people that have a stake in the budget and a budget that reflects our common values in the city. and making sure that we have input from many sources. especially with the mayor in february. and from the process president chiu was there. >> we vote on this first day we vote on the budget, like the first part of the year. the rest of the year gets easier. we're not contending with these challenging issues about the deficit and how we will pay for services i c.

the budget was a very challenging and time consuming effort and i want to thank each and everyone of you for your work. i want to thank supervisor kim for your courage and the last of the budget committee. that was really significant. i am grateful for your commitment to making sure we're not contracting out services. i appreciate that. i want to thank the mayor's budget office. we cannot do our work without your input. and the budget analysts office as well. mr. rose, thank you for work. i want to say congratulations. the city is better for our joint efforts on this budget. thank you.

>> i have been through the buffet of experiences and i want to a knowledge -- acknowledge carmen chu. she helped orchestrate us, herded cats into a focused and undramatic budget process which kept me suspicious are concerned that there was another shoe to drop throughout the proceedings. there has been a significant departure from previous budget processes and it has been alluded to. supervisors campos and avalos. there was a departure point, this budget process that the process this year was not as tension field as previous years. whether we have existed during

an economic downturn, or even in flush times when i was first on the board. i have to say that if this is an experiment in the making it is an experiment in the right direction. with that tension point which requires so many different range of groups that are fighting for restoration of their particular programs, it was funneled into a place where was managed by the collaboration between the board of supervisors and the mayor's office and the outstanding work by city staff who was orchestrating this by doing so with integrity intact. my criticism of past budget processes is that it had a bit of a barbaric field. it required people to have the

muscle. at the expense of trying to beat out another group. it defeats the coalition building. this time it had a different favre and different quality. issing told that out because it is important that we be able -- i singled out because it is important that we point out integrity so someone feels -- nobody feels at a loss. it is not easy in a $6.8 billion budget that 10 francisco is arriving at. to not expect some tension points but those tension points were conspicuously more tranquil than compared to previous years. having that opportunity through a number of budget processes, i want to congratulate stakeholders from the budget committee. all our staff who does the hon

unsung hero work of making sure that we're on track, focused and ready to hit the ground running so that we can deliberate with substance. and of course the mayor's staff and the city attorney, and of course the legion of stakeholders who are required to bird dog all the said make sure that it is the kind of desired outcome we would like. with pleasure, i would vote for this budget. >> supervisor chi>> supervisor many nightmares. where i bought two cars and could not return it. and had to do with the budget. -- it had to do with the budget. we did think a number of people but i want to reiterate that, the mayor's office and the

budget office, harvey rose, the comptroller, and they did a terrific job. to the many community organizations and members who participated, department heads and their finance staff. of course to my colleagues, each one of the supervisors, supervisor campos, farrell, cohen, a supervisor wiener, supervisor chu, and my colleagues on the committee. we need to thank our neighbor partners. they had played a tremendous role in making sure that we did have enough to be able to balance the budget. i want to call out the police officers association and the firefighters who did offer wage concessions or concessions that would allow us to balance the budget.

i want to thank their membership and their leadership on this. thank you. president chiu: i want to add my thanks to everyone in the room starting with our budget share. thank you for all those sleepless nights and nightmares and for putting up with everyone in this room. i want to thank our colleagues on the budget committee and our colleagues who came together. i think mayor lee -- thank mayor lee. everyone on the left real from the budget director to the controller to the budget analyst to the attorney's office and i want to thank our budget staff for all the work that they have done as well as my own staff for the work they did with all the aides who worked hard.

we worked through very difficult issues but we showed that we can come together to get things done without enormous,. i am part of this budget and this process and i am part of the sport. don't we move to roll-call vote? >> president chu. >> aye. >> supervisor elsbernd, elsbernd aye. seubert chris you can, kim aye. supervisor mar, more aye. supervisor mirkarimi, mirkarimi aye. supervisor winner, supervisor wiener aye. supervisor campos, aye. >> president chiu: ther congratulations. passed on the first reading. item 27. >> the ordinance calling and

transferred tips. >> i would like to ask someone from the mta to come forward. i have a number of questions about the disagreement. i thank you for being here. i understand the importance of trying to get this agreement done. this is the concern i have. at some point the agreement that was in place between bart and the mta took into account the number of trips taken in the system and use that for the basis of reimbursement that the mta received. from a public policy standpoint, it makes sense you would have the nexus. at some point that was no longer the basis for the agreement. i'm trying to understand why we are going into an agreement that does not rely on that nexus because connecting the amount

that is reimbursed to the mta to the number of trips that are taken will insure that we get reimbursed the amounts that are owed to us. in this case according to the report for the budget analyst, we're talking about perhaps $12 million that we would be entitled to being left on the table. >> thank you for the question. you're right. if it does agree that the -- if this needs room for improvement. we have told our we will go back and negotiate. for fiscal 10, the year that is in front of you now, an agreement was made to keep the method of dollars -- methodology. between art and mta while they worked on the issue. -- march and mta. we will be renegotiating with

bart back to july 2010 for the fiscal year agreement. it is -- the other reason the mta is getting approval is we are holding that receivable. bart has not repaid as. for those -- that is the reason we're bringing fiscal year 10 in today. >> supervisor campos: an agreement has not been made until if the board of supervisors votes on -- until the board of supervisors votes on it. >> the agreement has not come back before the board. i do not know when. when we looked at the agreements and started negotiating, we had discovered that these had not

been before the board. this is an oral agreement to continue the fiscal year 2010 methodology. it was taken to the mta board which approved the agreement with the condition the agreement would have new methodology. >> supervisor campos: this is an oral agreement between home? >> the heads of the two agencies. >> supervisor campos: the agency had to play an important role but i do not know that legally they have the authority to enter into those kinds of binding agreements. this is one of the things that bothers me. you have to agreements we're talking about. we have this specific agreements under which we are getting arguably the $12 million less than we are entitled to. we also have an agreement, unlike the agreement we are voting on today, it is based on the number of trips that are

taken. from 1 i understand, bart wanted to make sure the agreement was based on a number of trips to the got the amount of money that is owed to them by the city. at the same time, they're not letting us do the same with this other agreement. it is likely are telling us, treatise differently with respect to one agreement. we want to make sure we based the agreement on the number of troops but when it comes to bart paying the money, we do not want to look at the number of troops, we want to look at the number of sales tax. that is inconsistent. i am all for making sure that bart gets its fair share. at the same time, our system, the mta system, receiving $12 million less than it could arguably be entitled to, that is a significant amount of money. i do not understand how it is we

approached it this way. >> let me speak to the first issue. the budget resolution provided the ceo with a 42 renegotiate annual agreements, that is a provision that has been used to have these negotiations. about the methodology, we could concur with you. we have given our that message and we -- bart that message. >> supervisor campos: if i may through the chair, i do not know of this is a question to the m.t.a. or question to the city attorney's office. is there any way to go back to the negotiating table and basically say to parbart, we wat to make sure we have treated you fairly. we based the amount we pay you on the number of trips. we owe it to the writer

ridership to reimburse on the number of troops. let's recalculate for this fiscal year. is there a possibility we can do that? for the chair. >> we approached bart with that question and they have approved the agreement. given the agreement between the two heads of the agencies. we started off there. at this point we're bringing before you the best we can get for fiscal year 10 to fiscal year 11 with the new a mess -- methodology. >> supervisor campos: is it possible for us to make sure that there is a fair renegotiation here and to go back to the bart board in agency

and say this is not fair? >> the four's option would be to reject the agreement and that would re-enter renegotiation. there is an up or down vote here. >> supervisor campos: the reason -- i do not -- i want to reimburse the recommendation from staff. when we are looking at the possibility of $12 million more into the system, even if it is a fraction, we need to pursue every option to see that there is a way we can bring this money back or a portion of it. i am going to make a motion to continue the item for two weeks . so we have further exploration of the possibility of the renegotiation. i do not know if that is possible. maybe that is not feasible. to the extent that that is a

possibility, it is something we should explore. we're facing a dire situation within the transportation system. i make a motion to continue for two weeks. >> president chiu: seconded by supervisor mirkarimi. discussion? any discussion? can we do this without objection, to continue this? that shall be the case. [gavel] item 30. >> resolution approving amendment no. 1 retroactive to april 14, 2011 to the airport spa lease witand amendment no. 2.

>> president chiu: same house, same call. without objection, this resolution is adopted. item 31. >> resolution approving amendment no. 1 with baysubway airport. >> president chiu: same house, same call. this is approved. >> authorizing the mayor's office of housing to expend soma community stabilization fund. >> president chiu: same house, same call? this motion is approved. >> a motion approving and exercising the final

option set forth in the agreement for professional budget and legislative analyst services between the city and harvey rose. >> president chiu: same house, same call? this motion is approved. > supervisor avalos: the boad had passed last year this right to know ordinance. designating that merchants at the point of sale would have to provide information about the specific absorption rate for cell phone for each make and model of self funds. since that time new information about the new absorption rate, looking at radiofrequency.

there are a couple of cell phone communications systems that have varying radio emissions and to one of them is not pegged to sar. we want to make sure we have an ordinance that met with the reality is out there for radio emissions. we are amending this ordinance that would instead of having a rating per make and model of cell phone a point of sale, we would have a sign that merchants would provide in the stores close to the cell phones. i would say that cell phone emits radio frequencies and that there would have to provide at the point of sale -- they would have to provide at the point of sale a document sharing -- to share with buyers on how to protect themselves from

radiofrequency missions. measures you can take to protect yourself, include using a headset instead of having the phone next to your ear, keeping cell phone in a casing that is less conductive of radiofrequency and other measures as well. this because we're providing the public with information about how you can protect yourself, and has a strengthening of the legislation which we did not provide in last year's ordinance. we look at this as a strengthened right to know measure. we expect this measure would have impact of there is a link between health impacts and radiofrequency. this would help the program -- public to know how to protect themselves and perhaps save lives. i would like to thank the department of the environment for their work on this legislation as well as the many community advocates who have come out to support and testify

on this legislation, including the environmental working group, the health trust. thank you. >> president chiu: can we keep this same house, same call? this ordinances passed on the first reading. 35. >> resolution authorizing the public utilities commission to except and expand the u.s. environmental protection agency administered grant in the amount of 970,000 for a 6 cent -- center sustainable resources district project. >> president chiu: same house, same call? this resolution is adopted. >> a resolution determining the transfer of a type 21 of sale general license from 511 crescent street to 2801 jones street will solve -- serve the public convenience. >> supervisor cohen, aye,

with glendon hyde hoda would like to support for this position. he represents the number of great qualities i think would be exceptional in an entertainment commissioner. it is a neighborhood that is greatly impacted and has had never representative from that district and has -- the committee work that he has done in the neighborhood of a board member of united players has done fund-raising work for many causes. a member of the western soma citizens task force and a fund- raiser for the aids funding alliance, marriage equality, the sisters of perpetual indulgence,

the transgendered laz senger come on numerous organizations that have been defeated -- benefited by his work. also not to only does g lendon understand night live, he is a drag queen and consummate performer in the night life of san francisco. he has a great sense of civic duty and activism i think makes him an exceptional member of the entertainment commission. he believes in community building and creating opportunity, for the community to grow and use its voice to make changes in the city. he understands the community has to fight for its voice and as a drag queen it can be hard to be taken seriously but anna conda has always represented her community proudly. her vision, his vision
