through the first part of this i also served on the board of committee meeting to provide legal support for civic action. i think what we're doing here is the olympic club. creating a full employment i am very passionate about water program for attorneys. issues. i have no idea what any decision i spent my youth backpacking and to potentially fund directly camping in the area around the means. does that mean accepting federal hetch hetchy, around cherry lake money? does that mean accepting federal and i know this area very well. money that the community -- i know the system -- i will not that will mean the community development block grant? any decision to potentially fund say i am an expert. is a dramatic, it seems to me, i know the system from studying it just for fun. i used to know all the flows and expansion from the existing 79.2, and i would urge that the politics and i could get language to be dropped. caught up with that as time goes does not deal with the findings. i do not know what it is on. supposed to mean, but it is if elected to this position, i would be -- bring out passion to extraordinarily confusing and this. i believe in water systems. bay. thank you. i believe in what is going on with the city of san francisco, >> good afternoon. what they're doing with their
4:26 pm
san francisco human services water system. is magnificent. it was developed over 100 years network. i want to echo the remarks ago. regarding the vague language in it still works fine and need some earthquake -- needs some this proposed ordinance. earthquake refit. when i hear that, i think of a it is gregory driven. phrase that my father used to it does not cost a nickel a electricity. use with very young people where he would say cassette and i knew -- it is gravity driven. you when you were just a gleam thank you. in your father's side -- "i knew supervisor kim: i was curious where your son teaches math. when you were just a gleam in your fathers eye." >> my son finished his master's degree at usf in digital learning. if someone did not get required he taught at universal studies notice, could they sue and it definitely hold up a project well into its approval process? i also need to mention, around academy. he took off six months -- he was not able to get this certificate the original legislation as well as this that we do see this as and a master's and everything down when he was working hard. an attack on projects that he took some time off and he benefit people are or arepoor -- will be back at unified school district to do that. supervisor kim: i appreciate his who are poor and who are service. >> my son -- other son is a
4:27 pm
disabled. if we want to open a child care policy director for the facility that is privately funded, but is only for child congresswoman on capitol hill. supervisor kim: thank you. care facilities that our city next, karen donovan. budget, and that is true of many projects that are going to come under this ordinance, and we are deeply concerned that the city she did let our office know that would be setting up a special process directed towards the we would -- she would be here. we have a third applicant who could not be here today. projects that serve vulnerable people in sanford cisco, and we hope you will take that into again, he was called to jury consideration as well. duty. thank you. i do know that supervisor farrell wants to hear the >> good afternoon. applicants as well. i hear the other comments in being that we have one of three, i'm not sure if we could continue this to the call of the public comment. i'm not sure that the language chair. we will not ask you to come back is vague, but i suppose it is again because you were able to potentially vague, and that is important. come today. i would feel more comfortable hearing all the applicants i supported this original ballot before making a decision. measure that former supervisor at this time will open up for public comment. yee had proposed and passed. >> i came to speak in support of i support in concept the legislation.
4:28 pm
i think it clarifies some of the karen donovan cornell a little requirements that now exist. bit served for two years on the public utilities commission i think that this needs some additional work to amend the citizens advisory committee where i was appointed to serve. language at a minimum. she also has experience as a for example, on 79a.5, the deputy city attorney on the public utility team and is an website notice, line 17, shot at eternity -- an attorney at east a proposed project at the bay mud. earliest time when the she has a range of experience following events may occur -- i think those are triggering events, but the language should say "shall within 48 hours that is appropriate. i did not know mr. sheehy. we should find some way to quarter may or three working days or something so that it is find -- involve him in the puc. more clear what the requirement is. the more people who are paying attention to the big important work at puc, the better. i wanted to see those comments. i have no problem with continuing this item. supervisor kim: thank you. in 79a.7, the actual notice is there any other public comment? seeing none, public comment is
4:29 pm
closed. posted and the list of those thank you for being here. persons that were interested in i was really impressed by what the project should be forwarded you had written in your to the board of supervisors. application. it seems like you do know about when there is consideration of a the water system and it is not project that you actually have something our average denizen an interested persons list knows that much about. generated out of this, and i i appreciate your interest and think there are some other for your experience. also great to have a fourth comments we just heard. i would encourage you to generation san franciscan applied. that would make supervisor continue this. i would be happy to help with farrell quite happy. that. i think that there is some work being that we could not hear to be done. from the other applicants, i would feel comfortable continuing trade or on the record and we have heard you speak. supervisor kim: thank you. -- comfortable continuing. is there any other public you're on the record and we have comment on this item? heard you speak. seeing none, public comment is closed. i know you have some amendments to it is, supervisor farrell -- supervisor kim: i understand the desire to hear the other applicants. to introduce, supervisor i am happy to make a motion farrell. supervisor farrell: thank you. i appreciate all the public comment, but i have not spoken with any members of the public to spoke to my office before today, so i'm surprised that that, but i read it to everyone,
4:30 pm
as i always have, at my door is open to people what to think about changes possibly to this legislation. the one comment i will say to what mr. walsh was talking about, section four, that is something we put in. it is not something i am wedded to if there is strong feeling among community members. i'm happy to take thatit is somh in different departments. we want to make sure that it captured and work through different apartments and whether it captured all things. -- that this was behind. this is not meant to be a cog in the will but to bring neighborhoods and neighborhood members into the planning process and to get their voice to be heard. even if you end up disagree with neighbors or members, to give them a voice early on it means a
4:31 pm
lot. it is something we should try to include here. if there is comments on that, that is fine. otherwise i would ask you have a motion here to accept these amendments. >supervisor kim: there is a measure to accept this. we can do this without opposition. supervisor campos: i appreciate supervisor farrell's thoughts. i wonder if there's a specific change to that language that anyone has in mind that could clarify some of the concerns. i do not know if it is appropriate to ask mr. welch. >> i would urge it to be stricken. that phrase.
4:32 pm
79-2 defines -- or approval, showing an action of a city officer, or department, sponsoring a city project, approval should not include decision to undertake a preliminary study or one or more potential sites. approval shall refer to the actions of the sponsoring officer, department, board, or commission. that seems sufficient to me. i have no idea why we're adding language to that that says in addition, any decision to potentially fund directly or the project shall constitute a proposed project. supervisor campos: i get the point. >> this is language we worked with a number of different departments. there was no objection we talked through it. i express because the real intent here is not section 4. if that is something that is
4:33 pm
meaningful to people, i am saying i am willing to take it out. i had to reiterate mr. welch. i would have loved to have heard from you before hand tried to have my phone number and we could have done this before today. if that is something members want to do, no problem. supervisor campos: i would make a motion to strike that. one motion would be this can go to the board. if there is a need to add different language. and maybe that is an opportunity to do that. i would make a motion to strike that. supervisor kim: we do have a motion to strike. supervisor campos: it would have -- it would be to strike the definition of proposed product -- project. to strike that. supervisor kim: we do have a motion to amend. i believe we can do that without opposition. are there any further discussions? supervisor campos: to move
4:34 pm
forward. supervisor kim: we can do that without opposition. thank you. madam clerk, can you please call item 4? >> appointing one member, term ending to the pedestrian safety advisory committee. supervisor kim: i believe that abigail evans is here today. thank you for patients. we appreciate your application. pedestrian safety is one of the top priorities for my office. as you know, so many of the collisions between vehicles and pedestrians happened in district 6. i did appreciate your application and background and expertise. you can speak to your interest on serving on the pedestrian
4:35 pm
safety advisory committee. >> thank you for having me. i am currently a research associate at san francisco general hospital. we are one of 13 injury centers funded by the cdc. currently i managed and direct a handful of projects aimed at reducing the incidence or recurrence of injuries among people of all ages in san francisco. many experience this -- experiences says that this leads to a sustainable results. we executed an economic analysis as a cost of auto verses pedestrian industries. -- entry. the cost is $80 million each year. we found 74% of those involved in a collision were san francisco residents and 75% of the cost was charged to public funds. that is medicare or mettetal.
