hopefully reduce recidivism. let's go in the other direction and think about ways to generate revenue. to think that this does not have a meaningful result, i would disagree. the budget itself presents opportunity if we can reduce recidivism. not to do anything means that we don't have that opportunity to do that. >> unless there is for the discussion, there is a motion to continue. i'm sorry, there is a motion to

refer to committee. >> i had an opportunity to talk with some districts tend constituents and i would like to commit myself on the record to take up the charge. if it passes, it goes back to committee. i will take the charge to work on this. i believe that it has a significant impact not just on the african-american community but most communities of color. the conversation on this piece of legislation goes hand in hand. i would have liked to see more. i would like to go ahead to

publicly extend an olive branch to you. we are making a commitment to work on making this happen. >> why don't we take a roll call vote on the motion. >> no. >> no. >> no. >> aye. >> no. >> no. >> aye. >> aye. >> aye. >> no. >> no. >> there are four ayes and seven

no's. >> i appreciate the supervisor cohen had to say. i think it will take it legislature and hopefully more than just one that will be the charge and i look forward to working with you in my capacity as sheriff. i hope that this issue does not die here but something meaningful results from this conversation. this is not coming out of left field, this has been cycling through the reentry consul for several years and through a number of departments and also access to employment. this is not something new. this has been happening for a while. a number of people on behalf of the district's have been

involved. i look forward to hearing the next iteration of this approach. >> thank you. i was going to send it back to committee. i do agree that we owe it to supervisor mirkarimi to vote up or down. i'm happy to vote on this position. >> any further discussion. >> on item 23 -- >> aye. >> aye. >> aye. >> no. >> no. >> aye. >> no. >> no. >> aye.

>> no. >> no. >> there are five ayes and 6 no's,. this ordinance fails. >> ordnance approving a contract between the city and the west and renewable energy generation system for environmental attributes. on item 24 -- >> aye. >> aye. >> aye. >> aye. >> aye. >> aye. >> aye. >> aye. >> aye. >> aye. >> aye. >> there are 11 ayes.

>> item 25. >> resolution placing funds intended forward defense of special circumstances cases on control reserve and adopting guidelines for release of such funds. same house, same call? this resolution is adopted. item 26. >> resolution authorizing the lease with a six street baldwin house for the police department. >> this item did come to committee. one piece of like to share with colleagues. the redevelopment agency, there is still some work to be done. this leased depends on five $1,000 worth of free development funding in order to renovate the space for the new police substation. one of the concerns is what happens to the redevelopment agency component? it turns out that they would not be able to enter into a new contract.

however, the lease that we would be entering into in this situation would not obligate the city to pay rent until the renovations are completed. there is not a financial cost to last until there is a rental. >> i wanted to reiterate how important this substation is in the area. i would like to think many of the partners that have been involved. many of our community organizations and merchants on sixth street. i think people are excited because a lot of work has been happening in the mid market area to increase safety. we have specialized resources and foot patrols to help monitor and many as our community organizations have

really come together to organize how we can do better organization and discussion. the neighborhood is very excited. this is like a promise that is being fulfilled by the city. we are excited to see community policing happening on sixth street. >> same house, same call. without resolution, this is adopted. >> item 27, resolution authorizing the sheriff's department to retroactively apply, except to expand $249,000 in funds of the office of justice program to reduce recidivism. >> in house, call? this item is adopted. >> item 28, or intercepting an error vocable offer for improvements on real estate. >> same house, call?

this is passed on the first reading. >> items 29 through 31 pertain to the san francisco museum of modern art expansion. fire station number one housing and relocation project. item 29 is amending the zoning map. item 30 is the ordinance of ordering the summer vacation of hunt street. item 31 is the ordinance amending the map of the community facilities element. >> on these three items, if i can ask supervisor kim, we need to continue this until january? >> yes, my apologies. i would like a motion to continue item 29, 30, 31. >> i would like to continue until january 10th. >> is there a second any motion to continue.

colleagues, without objection, these will be continued. item 32. >> resolution approving the lease the property near the intersection of phelan and ocean avenues. >> same house, call? this ordinance is approved. item 33. >> ordinance amending this act as the minister of code to establish a sentencing commission, set forth the purpose, powers, and duties. >> our sheriff elect and the current share of have some concerns about the legislation. there are ideas about how to address these concerns. i would like the opportunity to move this. i move that we continue this

until january 10th. >> ok, this item has been moved to the 10th unless there is any objection, this will be moved. why don't we go to our 3:30 special accommodations? >> i think you know that myself and supervisor avalos sit on the air quality management district. every year, we have a special competition among employers. this is called the great race for clean air. this is where they compete to produce the amount of carbon and

our era and to help clean air and could practices among employees and workplaces too encourage car pooling, public transit. and we have stephanie anderson has worked with our boards here and a number of great businesses and leaders that have really helped us to clean up the air in san francisco. we saved over 156 tons of co2 in the air this season and this has been a great obscenity to challenge employers to find alternatives to commute by car loan. all of these savings based on the employee community. the vehicle gas mileage and the number of miles traveled i think miss anderson might explain this more. the highest savings per

participant and the highest of employee participation. the winners are chosen by county. all three of these companies, once both that the county and bay area level and they will each receive two trophies for this achievement. i just wanted to say if the winners can come forward and announce for the savings per participant was her rare contractors -- was hererra by contractors. excepting the trophy for the creative video agency is the office manager. we have this senior benefits analyst and the senior staff and

firm until health specialist. at the regulations to our great race for clean air winners. thank you for cleaning up the air and our area. miss anderson. [laughter] -- [applause] >> we want to thank everyone who participated. there are a lot of companies to route san francisco. many departments participated and saved a tremendous amount of co2 by encouraging their employees to find people to ride share with. we are excited to presented trophies to these folks. we did work on getting clean

air. thank you for your work. o

[applause] >> before you speak, i would like to ask the clerk of our board if she would like to say a few words. >> like all of us, it is very important. i know that her husband is here. the board of supervisors and the office of the clerk of the board has been a family for you and i started working with you in 1995

and never really enjoyed the true pleasure of being your colleague. we thank you for error all of your involvement. we will miss you. is not often that we find someone that we can share a personal moment with. you demand to see the photograph. now, it is your turn too enjoyed the vacation time and the leisure. when you come back to visit us tomorrow we insist that you can show us the photos. we miss you and we wish you well. much health in your retirement. [applause]

>> i am glad to be here in front of my family. i'm happy to be in front of my family, colleagues, friends, and being commended by the hon. supervisors. my mother and father must be very proud of me. they would be very honored. more than four years ago, i left where i was born and educated to start a new life and america had a very nice to me. i think you for allowing me to fulfill my dreams. i am grateful to work with the city and county of san francisco for almost 30 years.

it has been an honor and a rewarding part of my life. i make a lot of -- all of you enrich my life and been so much to me. i would like to thank all the supervisors for your support and appreciative my service. i want to thank you, angela, for being a good boss and also a good friend. i would like to thank the deputy directors, managers, colleagues, and friends who are always there for be. all of you make my job so wonderful, rewarding, and enjoyable. i also want to thank the

[applause]

>> ok. that concludes our special accommodations for the day. why don't we continue with the rest of our agenda? why don't we continue to our committee report item, item 42. >> at of 42 was considered by the special services committee and was forward it to the board with that recommendation. this is an ordinance amending the park code to require the

recreation and park department to have a long-term agreement for the national park service. >> thank you, president chiu. >> i am a father raising two kids in an area of great environmental challenge. i have a son who is very inquisitive. they would ask me about some kind of creature, whether it is extinct. he has asked me about dinosaurs. he has asked me about saber toothed tigers. last night, he asked me about by sen. i do know they exist but they don't exist how they used to exist. -- she asked me about bison. we have endangered species in

the bay area. we have them on the bay. we have to ask how we will be able to a protect endangered species and make sure that we can offer the type of recreation that all this can enjoy in this city. we have great challenges about that. in fact, we have a budget deficit that is about $10 million, $11 million a year and at great risk to our ability to carry out programming. we have lowered a lot of programming in san francisco. we have cut staff and raised fees paid to we have made it difficult for people to get involved in our rec and park's department. one area that we have a great challenge is at sharp park which is in pacifica. the golf course happens to be the habitat for the california red legged frog as well as the

san francisco order snake. these are two creatures that we don't know how well they were so but over the next many years. -- they will survive over the next many years. i believe that the city has been looking at options and the rec and parts department has done some due diligence on how to protect these species. they have not ruled out looking at the potential closure of the park. i have not been one who has been very shy about what my opinion is about what should happen. i think it should be close to protect the species. i am just one person. there are other people who have different points of view. i think that we should offer a range of possibilities on how we could program the space of shark park whether it is golfing,

partial golfing, may be a nine hole course, or maybe no golfing whatsoever. that a full range is something that's the intent is behind this legislation. that is what we will be discussing today. i do believe that as the board of supervisors, we have the responsibility to protect our environment, how we interact with the in farming, and to protect the creatures. we also need to make sure it that our rec and park department can carry out all of its functions. over the past five years in pacifica, the course has cost the city $1.2 billion -- $1.2 million over budget. over the last year, it was $90,000. we are not fulfilling our response ability to all of the other services.

-- our responsibility to all of our other services. we want to up programs that will meet our financial responsibilities. to give an overview on this legislation is and how we got here, the golf course is owned by san francisco but it is located in pacifica. it has provided us with numerous challenges over the years. the board has played a role in investigating a lot of these issues including leadership that will be provided by ross mirkarimi. the golf course was built on wetlands and they have played significant restraints on golf management. we are responsible for maintaining a sea wall and protecting endangered species, and for paying the bills. old and w
