kim. supervisor kim: first of all, i wanted to take a moment today to briefly highlight a public health crisis that our office has been focused on. preventing pedestrian collisions. some of which and in fatalities, and all of which could have potentially been prevented if we were making pedestrian safety a top priority for our city. this past sunday alone, two pedestrians were killed in two separate car collisions. our office has been contacted regarding numerous pedestrian collisions, even those that do not occur in our district. i was extremely horrified, as i'm sure many of you saw, to watch the video of the paratransit shuttle, which mode over one of our constituents -- mowed over one of our constituents. i think we were fortunate to have video of the collision occurring. we are waiting for a statement from the police department of what they will do to keep our residents say, and i am hopeful

we will have a written agreement outlining clear guidelines on how we enforce traffic violations, and also, criminal charges when they occur. ultimately, cars are moving weapons, and we should treat collisions as such. second, i would like to end this board meeting tonight in memory of some of the past when on march 14, 2012. she was known as grace to her friends and was preceded in death by her husband but is survived by her two loving daughters. she is a very proud grandmother. grace was born on june 30, 1932 in the philippines. in 1952, she came to the united states with her family but returned to the philippines to study to become a pediatrician. she graduated in 1958 and returned to her family in san francisco, taking classes at uc

berkeley to fulfill requirements to practice medicine in the u.s. she fell in love and married mario in 1962. she was finally remembered by many of her patients and family. she is joined in medical practice in the mission district. they have a medical practice for 36 years. she was a trailblazer pursuing a career as a dedicated pediatrician during a time where there was a dearth of immigrants and women doctors. she retired in 2001. she was a loving and about catholic and enjoyed playing at st. cecilia. her daughter is an active community advocate and leader here in the south of market. we just want to recognize her family and their commitment to our neighborhood, particularly in the south of market. thank you very much. the best i submit. supervisor wiener: thank you.

-- the rest i submit. supervisor wiener: thank you. today, i am introducing significant amendments to articles 10 and 11 of the planning code, which govern the creation of historic districts and landmarks. this is the first significant update to articles 10 and 11 in a number of decades. this has been approximately a four-year process, starting after the passage of proposition j in 2008, and it has been a long and winding road. as you may recall, last may, i convened a hearing at the land use committee to talk about historic preservation and its role in our city and

specifically how historic preservation fits in with other policy priorities, such as the creation of housing, retaining families in the city, having usable and modern parks and library facilities. it was one of the most well- attended hearings in recent memory with hundreds of people in attendance, and it showed how important this discussion is. these amendments reflect a significant attempt at balance in our approach to historic preservation, an approach where we embrace and celebrate the best about our past while also recognizing that there are a number of important values and goals in san francisco that we need to embrace. these amendments modernize articles 10 and 11 and in addition contain a series of amendments that i proposed, including, for example, a requirement that residents of a

proposed historic district vote in an informational vote before the creation of the district so that we actually know whether those who live in the proposed historic district support creation of the district. historic preservation should be community-based, and it has moved us in that direction. the amendments will also address, and i hope of boyd, the risk of gentrification of our historic districts by providing an economic hardship provision so that people will own property in historic districts but who are of modest income and cannot afford the full historic treatment do not have a choice of either living in deteriorated homes or moving out of the district. this would allow unlimited pop out to the people of all income

levels to continue to live in historic districts. another amendment will make clear that historic preservation should not and will not undermine our efforts to improve pedestrian safety in the city and that just because a road or sidewalk happens to be inside a historic district does not mean that we will have impediments to creating pedestrian ball bouts and making other pedestrian safety improvements. affordable housing projects will be given special consideration so we do not unnecessarily escalate costs for the is already at times tenuis project financially. in addition, the planning commission and historic preservation commission will be required to collaborate to come up with local interpretations of the secretary of interior standards, which govern historic preservation in a lot of areas,

so we have our own vocal interpretations that are specific to san francisco's unique, urban setting, and so that we are not applying rules that are better suited for suburban areas. these amendments have been approved unanimously by the planning commission, recommended unanimously, and have really resulted from a very broad collaborative process. i want to thank sophie and tim from the planning department, who have done and less work on these amendments -- endless work on these amendments. i want to thank mike bullard of san francisco architectural heritage. we have not always agreed, but it has been very productive working with heritage. spur and the historic preservation commission. a lot of people have had input

in these amendments, and i look forward to seeing the move through the process of the board and seeing them passed into law. the rest i submit. supervisor chu: submit. supervisor campos: submit. supervisor olague: couple of hearing requests. colleagues, i would like to introduce a resolution to create a local summer jobs-plus plan that would create a young -- connect a young san franciscans to summer employment. i would also like to thank supervisors campos, avalos, and kim for cosponsoring the legislation. the board of supervisors adopted a resolution sponsored by our colleague, supervisor elsbernd, which call on the city to develop and implement a local summer jobs plus program. it is and obama administration initiative that challenges business leaders to join with

the federal government in providing hundreds of thousands of summer jobs for america's youth. job creation is one of my legislative priorities, and i am sure my colleagues agree that economic recovery depends on people going back to work. in the last two months, mayor lee and united way of the bay area have met with leaders in the private sector. these deployments service providers and youth-serving city departments, but we have yet to see any specific events of this plan, and the summer is less than three months away. that is why i have worked with the youth commission and the employment coalition to draft this resolution, which calls on mayor lee with important commitments from this board to meet the aggressive target of raising some $2.25 million for sf summer jobs plus. yes, the goal is ambitious, but the city has a history of

success in creating public/private partnerships. in 2000, mayor brown raised over $1 million for subsidized u.s. employment opportunities through local corporations that partner with the city. in 2004, near gavin newsom -- mayor gavin newsom secured funds by making personal phone calls local businesses. i look forward to working with my colleagues and the mayor to make this happen again. i also had a senior hearing requests. today, i am introducing a senior request on behalf of the needs of seniors and adults with disabilities, especially in light of the recent demographic increases reported in the 2010 census. there are about 155,000 seniors in the city making up over 19% of the population.

seniors over the age of 85 increased by 44% over the last 20 years. based on the other economic standard security index, 51% of our seniors do not have enough income to meet basic needs. colleagues, the quality of life for our seniors and adults with disabilities is very important to me. i would also like to thank supervisors avalos -- supervisor avalos or adding his name as a co-sponsor. supervisor mar: thank you. i wanted to announce two town hall forums i am during this week in my district on wednesday and thursday. the first one i mentioned last week is the response to the recent incidents at the rocket room club on clement street at fifth avenue, and i am working with a number of stakeholder groups, including the san francisco entertainment commission, the sentence is the police department richmond station, safety awareness for

everyone, and many members of our community, we are inviting entertainment industry representatives, small businesses, community groups and individuals to voice opinions and suggestions on how to make our neighborhoods safer, especially around community relations, and detained, night life, and public safety. this town hall will be wednesday from 5:30 to 7:30. that is 351 ninth ave. if you have questions, contact mike 8 at 554-7410. also, we are hosting a unique town hall on the issues of accessible food in the richmond district, but also throughout the city. it is with the food and water watch organization and a number of food access groups. we are calling it a forum on local food and the 2012 farm bill. we will feature an incredible film by a young activist called

"in search of good food." we will follow it with a discussion on improving access to healthy food in the richmond district and san francisco, so i will be talking about food in our district and the city. also, we will talk about a broader regional and nationwide perspective, and then our head of food systems in san francisco who is in our department of public health, and the author of "diets for a debt plan" will also be on our panel. we hope you'll join us on thursday, two days, at 6:30 this week. if you want information, contact susan at 225-5916. the rest i will submit. thank you. supervisor chiu: thank you. calis, today, i am introducing legislation to strengthen an existing law intended to restrict the conversion of apartment units to forest or short-term use, a practice commonly known as hotelization.

the passage of the apartment conversion ordinance made it legal for certain residential properties to be occupied on a lease of less than 30 days. however, the problem has persisted due to enforcement challenges and a loophole in the law. over the years, corporations have sidestepped the law by signing long-term leases with property owners so that they're non-7 cisco employees can use the apartments as short-term housing. as an example, in my district, tenants at the golden gateway, which happens to be owned by one of the partners of the washington project, have experienced corporate employees coming in and out of their buildings just like a hotel. currently, in one of their building complexes, an estimate of 46 of the 341 units are leased by corporate entities. not only does this create quality of life issues for neighbors, but it takes already limited housing opportunities away from our residents. my legislation clarifies that corporate entities cannot skirt laws by signing long-term leases of residential apartments for

planned occupancy is of less than 30 days. it also gives residents the ability to seek legal fees look -- recourse to the existence of non-profit organizations. on a related note, i would like to mention that today, i joined mayor lee and several of our colleagues -- supervisors farrell, wiener, and kim -- by creating a policy group around collaborative consumption. collaborative consumption is the practice of everyday people sharing economic resources through peer to peer marketplaces, often fostered by technology. it occurs in many contexts, including cars sharing, parking schering, share of all recreation and green spaces, cheryl tools, and cheryl will housing. . sharable housing. in recent months, i have met with stakeholders interested in how we as a city can address the

issues that arise from sharable housing, and i look forward to continuing these efforts. my goal is to figure out how san franciscans can continue to use their primary residence in this manner without detracting from the housing stock and in a manner that is respectful of our neighborhoods. tomorrow, our city treasurer will be holding a hearing that clarifies that such individuals need to pay their fair share of local hotel taxes, which is an idea that i generally support. my goal is to move forward legislation that protect the supply of residential housing while allowing for the benefits of this new schering economy in order to help san franciscans from all socio-economic backgrounds. the rest of my items i will submit. >> thank you. supervisor avalos. supervisor avalos: thank you. this past week and bought the anniversary of the implementation of the local hire ordnance and the office of economic and workforce development has just issued a

progress report on the implementation and shows good signs that we are doing well as a city and meeting our goals, actually above and beyond what has been rejected by the ordinance and what would have been required, generally around 34%. so i am calling for a hearing on the report itself to look at where we need to make progress in the future, and that will be my one item for submission. >> seeing no other names on the roster, that concludes roll call for introductions. supervisor chiu: thank you. at this time, whether with the public comment? >> next is the opportunity for the public to address the board for two minutes of items within the jurisdiction of the board, including items a committee reference agenda and excluding those which have already been adopted by a board or committee. speakers using translation assistance will be lapped was the amount of time to testify,

and a member of the public would like a document to be displayed on the overhead projector, please clearly state such and remove the document when the screen should return to live coverage of the meeting. >> good afternoon. i am coming here today under the rain outside city hall. i am coming here to ask each of you which have carriage or which you would like to have carried like mine. supervisor jane kim. i have right to be proud of her. she visits next door shelter.

not only that, for carriage forces her to spend one night with the board people. she wants to know by her eyes how they treat them. i am called same like you, like anyone else, but sometimes we have umbrella and coke to cover ourselves from this weather. but still today, i worry about the poor people who still sleep in the car, as i did many years ago. supervisor, ask yourself how many shelters you have in your district, and go visit them.

how are you? how are you feeling? what can we do for you? to the homeless people. that makes me happy. he gave me power to come here. to give you hard time. ask jane kim what she did and copy her. thank you. supervisor chiu: thank you. i could remind members of the public to address all members of the board, not a specific college. >> director of san francisco open government. the following are comments made by the president of the scent francisco library commission following the february 2 meeting of the commission. >> [inaudible]

thinks he is the center of the universe and can do whatever he wants. [inaudible] i know 12 people who would fucking bury him if i walked out of here today. >> i apologize for the recording. what ms. gomez said, and she was referring to me, was, "i could get 12 people to fucking bury him if i walked out of here

today." she went on to say she grew up in the ghetto and knows how to use a straight razor. she said she would have thrown the microphone if she could have, and she could have, should have parotid me with the court. you may ask why make public the horrible things that she said. those are not all. if you want to hear the whole thing, you can go to the san francisco public library website, go to the library commission link, and the audio recordings for february 2 of this year, listen to the last six minutes. it is all posted their publicly, and it has been for the last two months. the reason i mention this is because ms. gomez had no problem following that meeting going to the san francisco police department and -- [bell rings] supervisor chiu: thank you very much. thank you very much, sir.

>> good afternoon. my friend andrew is watching. hi, andrew. i have graphics. this is the old space shuttle and the way they thought it would look in the 1950's. i thought if they go back to the way it used a lot, if they can go back to that way. ♪ love, love, love love city american style purer than the red, white, and blue love american-style the city by the ocean blue take care of you and on a star spangled night

my city love my city love, come to me you can rest your head on my district shoulder and under dawn's early light, my city, my city come to me i will defend your right in public comment speech love, love, love love city american-style truer than the red, white, and blue love american style that is me president chiu, supervisors, thank you ♪ supervisor chiu: thank you. next speaker. >> can i have the time on the counter please. supervisor chiu: we are actually looking into that right now, but you can hear the time that

indicates that 15 seconds are left. >> thank you. i have lived in san francisco for 60 years. i want to take this opportunity to thank the "san francisco examiner" for their sunday cover story, mentioning prominently a pg&e whistle-blower. that proves beyond a reasonable doubt that maybe the people here at city hall should listen to the city's whistleblower rather than keep blowing them off for the past -- i think it is five and a half years now. second, in the sunday edition, it did have a very interesting article titled "sheriff's conduct hearing could snag future officials." i think the headline should read "hast officials also." it brings of certain persons in the article there prominently, i think by accident, leaves out the current fire chief. i think that should be examined.

another thing i would like to mention is that in regards to the sheriff's situation -- and i welcome a full vetting of the so-called ethics commission -- i would like to wonder how the ethics commission handled written complaints regarding two supervisors sitting in front of me. if i remember correctly, nothing was ever done, so maybe mr. wagoner should look into that to make sure everybody is treated fairly. i think it is pretty obvious that the ethics commission has to answer for its past conduct, especially in regards to supervisor tony hall. i do not think he was the only one who was somehow manipulated by the ethics commission, so i agree with ross mirkarimi. ethics commission, bring it on, and let's see who is telling the

real truth. thank you. supervisor chiu: thank you. next speaker. >> good afternoon. i am and member of americans for safe access, the nation's largest advocacy organization the works on medical marijuana issues. i am also a member of the medical college and a center owners, patience, and other industry types in our city that want to keep safe access, and we are requesting your help in this mission of ours. next week, tuesday, april 3, we will be having a rally here on the steps of city hall. we are asking you to join us. there are several other actions you can take as well, like joining the lawsuit to reschedule marijuana, or joining the state petition with other governors. you would be the first city to join this petition, so thank you for listening. please protect and defend safe access. you can find outmo
