supervisor mirkarimi: this it excites you, sure, why not? good morning.

welcome to the san francisco board of supervisors. i am joined by a supervisor campos. supervisor cohen will not be joining us today. we will entertain a motion to excuse her. supervisor campos: so moved. supervisor mirkarimi: the motion passes. thank you to sfgtv for their ongoing service. madam clerk, please read item one. >> item 1, ordinance amendment the san francisco police code section 107 1.1 to prohibit public nudity in restaurants and prohibit sitting on public benches or public seating areas without clothing or some other separate material between persons genitals, but talks, or tail region and the seating surface. supervisor mirkarimi: supervisor wiener brought this matter to the board. supervisor wiener: thank you for

hearing this today. this is a piece of legislation that would address two very discreet issues, specifically requiring clothing for persons who are inside restaurants and requiring that of someone is in public and sitting on public seating, that the person has to place something down to sit on instead of sitting directly on the public seating -- if someone is nude in public. we have, specifically in the castro, a number of people who are regularly -- regularly nude in the neighborhood. there are a lot of opinions on the issue, and that is a conversation that i am sure we will continue to have in the city. the legislation addresses two

very specific issues that are issues in the castro, possibly elsewhere, but primarily this one neighborhood that i represent. if there are any comments -- supervisor mirkarimi: no, but there probably are a preponderance of jokes and clips we can make. supervisor wiener: they have all been made, but if there are any new ones, i would be glad to hear them. supervisor mirkarimi: in response to the naked ordinance, we have a naked audience, too, i think it may have peaked -- climaxed to the point where -- [laughter] thank you. supervisor wiener: i guess, maybe we should open up for public comment? are there any members of the public who would like to comment? supervisor mirkarimi: please step forward.

>> good morning. i am the executive director for the castro copper market community benefit district, although right now, i am speaking on my own. the benefit district has not taken a position on this exact piece of legislation, although we are discussing public nudity internally. i would like to say that i support this legislation and that i do think it is needed. there have been many occasions where i have personally observed people sitting on the chairs that the cbd has bought without a separation between their naked bodies and the chair, and people have to go right after them and sit down. i think that since the legislation was introduced, people have been joking and saying it is only a matter of public decency, and it is, but they were not doing it before. the idea of this legislation was

introduced. the other thing i would like to say is that i also have seen people in cafes, restaurants with no clothes on completely naked and believe that it is an important piece of legislation for san francisco to outlaw nudity in restaurants and places where people eat. thank you. supervisor mirkarimi: thank you. any other public comment? step right on up, please. >> are also believe in this legislation as well. -- i also believe in this legislation. it has not been a problem that i remember in the castro until there were the parades'. just sit down on a public share or bench, something needs to be done in order to stop it. i do not like that the kids see this, and people in general just

do not want to be exposed. there is a time and place to do this. also seeing that there was actually an investigation where there was a sexual pedophile -- i do not want to say pedophile, but a sexual offender was roaming around. i do not want to encourage this for them to come around and the naked in front of kids, people who do not want to see that. there is a time and place, so i also hope that this will pass. supervisor mirkarimi: thank you. any other public comment? seeing none, public comment is closed. thank you, supervisor wiener for facilitating this. i believe it speaks for itself. we would like to entertain a motion. supervisor campos: forward with recommendations. -- moved to forward with recommendation. supervisor mirkarimi: so move. no objection. madam clerk, would you please

read item two? >> item two, resolution authorizing the port of san francisco to accept and expend a grant in the amount of $550,552 from the department of homeland security, 2010 port security grant program for ferry building and ferry terminal mass notification system improvements at the port of san francisco. supervisor mirkarimi: welcome. >> good morning. i am the program manager at the port of san francisco. you're sorry you did tell you a little bit about the mass notification system. we have found that there is not an effective means to communicate to the public in the offense of a disaster -- in the event of a disaster. after the earthquake in 1989, over 300,000 people assembled at the ferry plaza, and there was no means for us to communicate with them how transportation would be handled, what bridges were open or shut, and how there

is would be operating. this is a 2010 ford security grant program grant. there are no matching funds. -- this is a 2010 port security grant program grant. the system will have multiple language monitors and an announcement capability throughout the ferry terminal plaza. supervisor mirkarimi: very good. any comments or questions? seeing none, thank you. any public comment on this item? seeing none, public comment is closed. >> thank you very much. supervisor mirkarimi: thank you. we are almost there. supervisor campos. supervisor campos: i make a motion to move forward with positive recommendation. supervisor mirkarimi: move forward without objection. i shall look to the full board. is there any other business before this body?

>> no, this is not. supervisor mirkarimi: this is probably one of the quickest meetings in the history of public safety. thank you, everybody. this meeting is now adjourned.

♪ >> hello, and welcome to the department of elections right choice voting instructional video. it is part of the department of elections right choice voting outreach campaign and is designed to educate san francisco rig franciscoht choice voting. today we will learn what it is and who is elected using this voting method. we will also talk about with the ranked joyce l. looks like and how to market correctly. finally, we will see how the ranked joyce voting process works and to you an example of an election using ranked choice of voting. so, what is ranked joyce voting? in march 2002 san francisco voters adopted a charter to implement ranked choice of voting, also known as instant runoff voting. san francisco voters will use it

to elect most local officials by selecting a first choice candidate in the first column on the ballot and deborah second and third choice candidates in the second and third columns resect to do -- respectively. this makes it possible to elect local officials with the majority of votes. more than 50% without the need for a second runoff election. in san francisco, ranked choice of voting is for the election of members of the board of supervisors, the mayor, sharon, just -- district attorney, city attorney, treasurer, this is a recorder, and public defender. ranked joyce voting does not apply to elections for local school and community college board members. number the election of state or federal officials. ranked choice of voting does not affect the adoption ballot measures. when voters received their ballot, either at a polling

place or an absentee ballot in the mail, it will consist of multiple cards. voters will receive cards with contests for federal and state offices, as well as for state propositions and local ballot measures. for ranked choice voting contest, voters will receive a separate ranked choice ballot card. it will have instructions to rank three choices, which is new. the ranked choice ballot is designed in the side by side column format that lists the names of all candidates in each of the three columns. when marking the ranked choice ballot, voters elect their first choice in the first column by completing the aero pointing to their choice. for their second choice, voters selected different wind by completing the arab pointing to their choice in the second column. for their third choice, voters elect a different candidate by completing the arrow pointing to

their choice. voters wishing to vote for qualified write-in candidate can write it in on the line provided. and they must complete the arrow pointing to their choice. keep in mind, it voters should select a different candidate for each of the three columns of the ranked choice ballot card. if the voters elect the same candidate in more than one column, his or her vote for that candidate will count only once. also, a voter's second choice will be counted only if his or her first choice candidate has been eliminated. and a voter's third choice will be counted only if both his or her first and second choice candidates have been eliminated. we have talked about how to mark the ranked choice ballot. now let's look at how ranked choice of voting works. initially, every first choice vote is a candidate.

any candidate that receives a majority, more than 50% of the first choice to vote, is determined to be the winner. if no candidate receives more than 50% of the first choice votes, a process of eliminating candidates and transferring votes begins. first, the candidate who received the fewest numbers of first choice votes is eliminated from the race. second, voters who selected the eliminated candidate as their first choice will have their vote to transfer to their second choice. there, all the votes are recounted. fourth, if any candidate receives more than 50% of the votes, he/she is declared the winner. if no candidate receives more than 50% of the vote, the process of eliminating candidates and transferring votes is repeated until one candidate has a winning majority. now let's look at an example of

an election using ranked choice of voting. in this example, we have three candidates. candidate a, b, and c. after all the first choice votes are counted, none of the three candidates has received more than 50%, or a majority of the first choice vote cast. candidate a g-205% ofb the votes% received 40%. and c received 35% of the boats. because no candidate received a majority, the candidate who received the fewest number of first choice votes, a candidate a, is eliminated from the race. voters to pick a candidate a as their first choice candidate will have their but transferred to their second choice. and the voters to pick and a, 15% chose candidate b as their second choice, and 10% chose c as their second choice. these votes are then applied to

b and c, and the votes are recounted. candidate b now has 55% of the votes. candidate c as 45%. candidate b has more than 50% of the votes and is determined as the winner. >> thank you for watching. we hope you have ranked choice learned ranked choice of voting and was elected. you have seen the ballot, learned how to market, and learned how the voting process works. if you have any further questions about ranked choice voting, please contact us at department of elections, city hall, room 48, 1 dr. carlton be good lit place, sentences go, california, 94102. or 415-554-4375. visit our website, www.sfelections.org. www.sfelections.org.
