the claim was filed on january 20, 2012, bearing claim no. 12- 01603. president chiu: colleagues, if we could take this item same house same call? without objection the resolution is adopted. next item? >> item 25. resolution approving proposed settlement of claim by marco fontana against the city and county of san francisco for an amount not to exceed $60,000; the claim was filed on december 2, 2011, bearing claim no. 12- 01249. president chiu: same house, col. this resolution is adopted. let's go to roll call. >> president chiu? president chiu: could be rereffered to? >> supervisor wiener? supervisor wiener: i have a few

items that they related to food trucks. i have been trying to work with various stakeholders to come up with rules that balance the desire to have a vibrant food truck seen in sentences go with other needs as a city. one of the goals is to preserve food diversity in food choice in san francisco. food crops are part of that equation. -- food trucks are part of that equation. additional choices for consumers for food, with a route to entrepreneurship for people wanting to start small businesses without the capital to go another route. we have a lot of immigrants that have food trucks in san francisco. they provide in terms of location' in food preferences. they also activates streets and public spaces. we should not be eliminating

food trucks. it is about balance. balancing the needs of food trucks, brick and mortar restaurants schools, and consumers. i have been working with a number of different stakeholders on this issue and we are continuing to work. however, and mentioned these items today because of the recent developments in sacramento. i am introducing a resolution to put this on record opposing assembly bill 1678. 1678 is a piece of state legislation that would impose a requirement that no food trucks be permitted to be within 1,500 feet, three city blocks, of any high-school, middle school elementary school, public or private. while this is a well-intentioned bill, it would have a huge impact on san francisco.

we have a map, if we can turn that around, showing -- turn that around to face the board -- showing san francisco in purple. but the part where food trucks would be banned if the bill were to go into effect. part of market and south of downtown would not be covered, which is presumably where they would all go. i imagine that the merchants would not be happy about that. this legislation takes away completely local control. we no longer get to decide what the rules should be in san francisco. it would be dictated by the state. a one size fits all measure that would apply equally in rural

locations, suburban, and it brought urban locations -- and urban locations. my resolution would at a minimum, be amended to allow localities to opt out. i am also introducing legislation relating to san francisco's own approach to the proximity of food trucks to schools. currently in san francisco we have an ordinance that prohibits food trucks from being within 1,500 feet of public middle schools or high schools. while not as extensive as the proposed state legislation it still causes problems. there are some neighborhoods like the mission where food trucks are dramatically restricted because that is where food -- that is where middle schools are located. there are other areas, like downtown or union square where

there are essentially no restrictions. this leads to over- concentration in some areas with a lack of food trucks in other areas. i understand and support the desire to support our school lunch programs encourage kids to eat at school, but i think that 1,500 feet or three blocks is too far. the legislation would reduce the distance to one city block, on average 500 feet. those other pieces of legislation i am introducing regarding food trucks. i am also introducing legislation to address the way that we handle accept and expand over $100,000. every week we vote on these resolutions on acceptance that have not been referred to committee, but introduced of the week before. i do not recall their ever being

a split vote. they cannot recall a split vote on any of these smaller except and expands. i do not even recall us having a debate on any of them. they are frequently for very small amounts. 500,000 $10,000. they are often, as we see on the agenda retroactive meaning that the department has already expended some and it is coming to us after the fact. these often create huge amounts of paperwork headaches for the mayor's office, for our staff with very little benefit given that they do not get referred to committee or have the same kind of public hearing. the legislation would shift for the acceptance and expanding of $100,000 approved by the department hadn't the

comptroller would issue rules in terms of how it would be handled so as to be transparent and methodical. last year we had 65 accept and expand under $100,000. the grand total of all of those was $2.5 million over the entire 6.7, $6.5 billion budget, spread across every department. i am submitting several except and expands today, all of which are retroactive meaning the money has already been accepted but be will nevertheless have to submit agendas and we have submitted a huge amount of paperwork. >> thank you, supervisor wiener. supervisor campos? supervisor campos: i have a

couple of items. the first is a memorial park dave hobson, a beloved health care advocate who passed away on february 8, 2012. he was the vice president of policy and planning at the clinic consortium representing a consortium in many strategic forums. with health policy decisions that were made here in san francisco, with respect to health clinics and their patients, i have to say that i first got to know dick when he provided a pretty invaluable assistance in an input to my office as we begin our work on health care security master plan legislation that this board enacted a couple of years ago. at the time, dick served on the master plan task force. but that is what he played an important role in. right now the task force created

for the legislation as the department of public health finalizes the first draft of the plan. he was a leader with the primary care council of the service network with a healthier san francisco project. his work was truly extraordinary and he will be dearly missed. our condolences to his family and loved ones. the second item that i have is a hearing requests. as we have heard over the last few weeks a number of amendments have been introduced by supervisors kim supervisors wiener and myself regarding the san francisco campaign finance reform ordinance. i believe that it is important for us to have a hearing and a

discussion about the efficacy of the law with a discussion of the law for -- and how it is being enforced before the ethics commission. i am asking that the hearing be referred to the rules committee. i think it is important for us as the board of supervisors, to have a discussion about whether or not the objectives of a lot are being met. -- objectives of the law are being met. when put in place the intent of the regulations was very clear. one of them was to place a realistic and enforceable limits on the amount that individuals can contribute to political campaigns in order to provide full and fair enforcement of those provisions, to make sure that all of those individuals and groups in san francisco have a fair opportunity to

participate in a elected and governmental processes. to create an incentive in to limit campaigns. the purpose of that was to reduce the pressure placed on candidates to raise large sums of money. i say this as an incumbent myself to reduce the in the vantage that incumbents have the -- to reduce the advantage that incumbents have to increase the probability of elected office competition. we need to go back to look at whether or not those objectives are being met. it is appropriate, given that a number of changes have been introduced by a number of us on the board of supervisors. the third item, the last item that i have today is an item that i have with respect to that hearing request. but i hope that we have a discussion over the next few weeks at the rules committee.
