president chiu: i would like to echo and sank a supervisor winner for his work with constituencies in my district. supervisor chu: i also want to thank my staff for their work in working with the planning department at getting the message out to all our merchants. she has been doing a great job with outreach making sure the material was culturally sensitive as well. supervisor kim: i would like to thank the co-sponsors for bringing this forward and i have already heard from some small- business owners in my district. would have taken them several months in opening their restaurants and i'm glad we were able to simplify and make the process more transparent while doing the regulation we need to do while having balanced neighborhoods and i would like to be added as a co-sponsor. president chiu: with that, could

you please call the roll? [roll-call] their are11 ayes. president chiu: is passed on the first reading. why do we go to roll call. supervisor wiener: i have one interaction for someone who was hit by a bicycle in my district on march 29 and passed away on

april 2. on march 29, he and his wife were on their way to pick up my glasses. it walked across castro street from harvey milk plaza and while in the crosswalk, he was hit by a bicyclist and died several days later. he is survived by his wife and son. there has been a lot of discussion around bicycle safety, but it also points out the continuing need that i'm sick of doing in mori m's for pedestrians killed in crosswalks. i know some of my colleagues are as well. enforcement and education are

important and that's not just for bikes but automobiles as well. it also points to the combat -- the continuing need to invest and upgrades for pedestrian safety of our intersections. we have a city that despite all the work we have done is still in large part designed for cars. castro and market, for those who have crossed it multiple times a day, is incredibly wide. at 16 and market, it's a disastrous intersection. 15th and sanchez, a horrendous intersection. you just keep going on and it requires the best -- requires investment and prioritization in making these expenditures because it does save lives when you reduce crossing distances and increased visibility for all users of the road. this is just another reminder that we need to keep moving

forward with enforcement, education and the investments to make our city the pedestrian friendly place we know it needs to be. thank you. supervisor farrell: today, have won the submission, a hearing request are on how our city government manages our real estate portfolio. last year, after reading a number of surprising articles in hearing comments from staff, i submitted a request for our budget and legislative management to conduct an audit of a real-estate management practices here at city hall, including inventory of vacant or surplus properties in our portfolio. the results were concerning at best. despite many -- despite no response from many departments, including the port andpuc, analysts identified 20 parcels are not in use and have no plans for future use that are on our books. we currently have a

decentralized property management system across our various departments despite having an official real estate division here in city hall. i would like to thank john updike for his help in this matter and his encouragement moving as ford. we have a reporting process mandated our charter that has not been followed through on. as we continue in city hall to approach our budget season when we suffer through manual -- through annual budget deficits, the onus is on us as a city government to be as efficient as possible and given the massive dollar amounts at stake, solving our real estate management issues is a really big deal and a big step in that direction. i look forward to hearing from the city departments involved and the rest i submit. supervisor kim: i'm really

exciting about the hearing supervisor farrell is calling for today. my time at the school district, it was frustrating to see surplus property line around it could generate revenue or generate bell you for our district weather was teacher housing or other usage for our youth in this san francisco. but the district often is not a real estate division and it's frustrating to the city is mired with the same challenges. i have three items i would like to submit today. the first and a good news, i am submitting a new safe san francisco civil-rights ordnance today. i know we just engaged in a lengthy process where we have heard our original ordinance and have gone through committee and two votes. this past week, after our last boat with a potential impending veto by the mayor, the mayor's

office and the coalition sat down and work really hard every day to try to hammer out a compromise that would address three of the main issues the coalition was working to address through the original version. the first was to address the issue of racial profiling. in this version we are introducing today, this ordinance does treacly referenced a loss of the state of california including but not limited to the inalienable right to privacy guaranteed by article 1, section one of the california state constitution as well as the laws and policies of san francisco applicable to the police department and their policies, procedures, and orders. but this is without directly, the key provisions of the general order which i know was of contention whether it was appropriate for the board of supervisors to do. the second issue we were trying to address to the ordinance is

the sun shining of the mou. we had previously a engage in a process where secret mou's could be engaged in and the mayor's office was in full agreement and wanted to ensure we sunshine the process. in this new version, we will have a hearing and approval at the police commission before it is signed by the police chief. the third issue is how we did reporting. the chief of police shall provide to the commission a public report with the appropriate public information on the police department's work in the prior calendar year, including any issues related to the compliance of this section. this ordinance will not engage in all of the specifics of originally in the mou and the

community will monitor our future progress with the fbi and this will require more of that. but we are satisfied we are able to address three of the primary issues we are trying to address and we will be able to move forward on that. i submitted that and i do want to thank our eight co-sponsors we had for this ordinance, including our original co- sponsors and our new co- sponsors and i just want to thank the coalition and mayor's office for working so diligently. they spent many days to craft something by friday and i think largely we are very happy this is moving forward. the city is standing together as a family to say this is not the kind of activity we want to engage in. we want to make sure there is sun shining and monitoring.

many of our members of the committee are back today to witness this. thank you for your work and advocacy in advocating for the rights of our communities. thank you. second, i am introducing a resolution to initiatives shelter reform working group and are urging our new director of hope to start coordinating these working group meetings with several departments that met last thursday, including our 311, the mayor's office of disability and several other departments as well. there were several issues highlighted in hearing we are hoping to have some real outcome come out of over the next 90 days. one is simplifying the shelter reservation process. we have clients, many of whom are seniors and disabled to wait starting at 3:00 in the morning

for hours and move to other sites to try to secure a resource bed. through some of our work, we are hoping we can engage in a different system that is lottery based as of the mayor announced today. the second we are hoping to address is capital improvements to our shelters that specifically address our clients who are disabled. many of our shelters are aging and we have actually offered to improve our shelters, but do to some of the complications and the way we do our contract is that we contract with nonprofits for three to five years. i'm very worried we are actually in violation of federal law and seeing what we can do to mitigate this issue. one of the issues that has come up this is not just economic

reasons that keep people homeless. it's also health issues and what we can do to shift our resources inside our shelters working to address the actual medical needs of our clients and i'm excited to actually do in public health assessment of who lives in our shelters so we actually have a snapshot of who we are serving. what we will find is an overwhelming number of shelter clients are seniors and disabled. we have gone on the number of females and from our senior community who are excited to get engaged in this process and we are excited to partner with them as we try to gather data to have appropriate services based on the needs are shelter clients so we can continue to address chronic homelessness. i want to submit and in more

a.m. in memory of one of our district six community members. she took her life on easter sunday. she was 27 years old. as someone who has worked extensively with our youth and young adult leaders, our community was greatly saddened by this loss over the weekend. she was born and raised in san francisco and many of you may have known her or seen her at our committee hearings. she was an active member of the medical cannabis community and many of her friends and advocates are here to remember today and want to recognize her and celebrate her life and leadership in san francisco. she is a proud african-american disability advocates and christian who constantly encourage others to live their lives for my place of love. she was outspoken and advocated for safe access to medical

canada's for our low-income community as well as advocating for job and come -- job-training for those coming out of our unemployment system. she volunteered for many places and her church. many of us remember while she is doing in her community work in championing cultural diversity and inclusiveness he. her work advocating for reforms impacted many people in and out of our shelters and she always passionately supported those who are struggling to the most difficult times whether access in care or housing. she will be remembered for her smile, her encouragement, her friendship and her talent as a vocalist. she is survived by her mother, brother, and hundreds of patient advocate to mourn her death and celebrate her life shared in the community. the rest, i submit. president chiu: colleagues, have

a number of items today. but i would like to congratulate the community advocates working on the joint terrorism task force as well as supervisor kim. i thought this issue would be resolved in the way it is being resolved and i am glad that is the case and i hope it can move this legislation to its completion as quickly as possible. i had also prepared and in mori and today who, as supervisor wiener mentioned had been a 30- year merchants in chinatown. supervisor wiener had also mentioned that this is an individual who that community knew as a devoted father, husband, and a grandfather. i want to add my condolences to his family and friends and particularly his wife of 46 years. we are all saddened by the tragic loss because his life

ended way too soon and it serves as a reminder we need to do more to keep our streets safe. earlier today, i convened a conversation with a san francisco bike coalition and the bicycle advisory committee and representatives from the nba and san francisco police department. in looking at what we are doing to improve safety on our streets for all of our users for drivers, pedestrians, and cyclists. i am introducing a resolution today that outlines the a number of new steps and efforts to produce safety in our streets that i hope will be accelerated. this includes the rules of the road on traffic and transit systems, expanded education efforts for all street users and it includes insuring our police department makes education

enforcement decisions based on the most dangerous intersections which happen to be in supervisor kim's district as well as my own in the excessive speed and right of way encroachments. my resolution is asking the board of supervisors to support various agencies sharing data so that we can better target education and enforcement measures and asks us to support what the san francisco bicycle plan, the grand jury and bicycle committee have suggested are on the creation of a bicycle citation program. today, also calling for a hearing to review the inclusion rehousing was which would include development 1 packs of different housing sizes. yesterday, there was a significant hearing on the affordable housing policies and there were many issues that surfaced but i hope we will

have that entire and separate hearing with the deeper examination of our inclusion 3 laws. i want to make sure the review includes an evaluation of the impact of these laws on housing of different sizes. we've all heard different impacts and perspectives on how these laws have affected the development of housing a different sizes. for smaller housing sizes, many of us have heard anecdotal observations that inclusion are rules may have made a more challenging for projects to pencil out. for high-rise projects, we have heard the opposite. that inclusion requirements may not be adequate. ron miguel recently asked why a developer that is selling $6 million condo's gets to pay the same fee as a developer that sells $600,000 condos. i ask that we have a hearing on this subject, hopefully in our land use committee.

last, a solution to endorse the compliance reports for the 2011 and 2012 language access ordinance. the office of civic engagement immigrant affairs must analyze our language programs and prepare annual reports. this resolution endorses the findings of these reports as well as indicates our support for additional community input and for more recommendations on how we strengthen the efficacy of our ordinance and how we can better serve limited english proficient residents. thank you very much. supervisor olague: i have a couple of things today. i'm going to request a hearing on students and employment in the construction pipeline. we had a successful hearing on student careers and jobs and

technology and continuing with this line of information gathering around jobs, i would like to introduce a hearing on strategies introduced by the school district and a labor partners to prepare young people for employment opportunities in the construction trade. i have spoken with a number of high-school students in my district who are interested in careers in automotive, plumbing, and labor industries. i want to support those students who are not headed for a college track profession better looking to break into successful careers in labor. shop and other courses have been eliminated from school curriculum to the detriment of a sizable sector of our student body. not everyone will go to college, but everyone who graduate from san francisco school district should be prepared for a livable wage job. i called for this hearing to get a better understanding of how

our education partners are ensuring students graduate high school with the skills and knowledge necessary to enter the workforce. we have instituted local hiring "-- that was led by a supervisor avalos. are we doing all that is necessary to connect our young people with living wage jobs? there are projects in the pipeline that will hire local labor. many of the projects are phased in over 20 and 30 years. that is a lot of future employment. let's make sure our young people have something to look forward to after their public education and labor jobs in the public sector. i'm also introducing a modest piece of legislation that would allow for gas stations on 19th avenue to have a car wash. i would like to think my

colleagues for their co sponsorship on this item. there are currently no car washes in my district or on the western side of san francisco. this legislation would love all -- would allow existing stations to offer car wash services. we have required a number of considerations for the impact on environment, including limiting it to lot of the least 12,000 square feet and requiring performance of a traffic study, noise study, use recycled water and employed the best environmental practices. i look forward -- [inaudible] today, and introducing an ordinance that would require the planning department's staff to provide quarterly reports to the planning commission. these reports would provide a

dashboard of progress toward the housing element production target on a citywide basis and how production targets are being achieved within geographic areas covered by an area plan. this is an important issue for me while sitting on the planning commission. this would include moderate and low-income production updates and will also create article 5 in the planning code. i would like to think that -- to thank the co-sponsors and special thanks to supervisor kim's staff for their work on this. the root of this is to keep families in san francisco and make sure our populations are reversed. in order to do so, we have to track what kind of housing we are producing.

that is the basis for this request. finally, at the historic preservation commission last week, a hearing was the night of landmarks -- the establishment was denied a landmark status. members of the public want to appeal this decision and i want to respect the process at this time, especially hope that that some point, there can be a reasonable conversation in regards to this matter. there is a possibility the public will be appealing this decision, but at the same time, there are a lot of legal things occurring that i feel i will just let that take its course. although i support the landmarking, i support the

ability of the public to appeal and i hope these legal matters resolved themselves in a reasonable manner. supervisor mar: i have a number of items. i want to acknowledge am proud to co-sponsor the legislation just mentioned that would provide a dashboard tool to look at development from a big picture perspective as we look at affordable or even middle- income housing as developments come forward to the land use committee. i am pleased to be a co-author of the efforts supervisor kim has been leading and i am appreciative of the compromise with the mayor's office to make sure we keep our communities safe, especially immigrant communities. many of you may know i have been working hard for safer and

healthier neighborhoods and a city. i am working with them on thursday in the richmond district, but i know there are other events around the city on thursday. peabody school in particular is one of the key sites in our district. even on the web site that was created, you can look at maps that helped parents figure out safer route to get their children to school. i am appreciative of the different partners at work with the department of public health and school district, including the bicycle coalition to make every day a safe day to buy can walk to school.

i also want to acknowledge a think it's one of the great efforts not only to involve families but our departments in making our streets safer for everyone and multi-modal people from drivers to walkers to bikers to get everywhere in our city. as far as making a more livable and walkable district, i am working closely with the recreation and parks department on a hearing coming up not just for my district, but for districts 4 and 7, in golden gate park, at the hall of flowers building. this is an effort to get input on a new bond that would come forward to fund our parks and playgrounds in the city. i'm looking at programs at the

swimming pool and other areas in my district. i hope he will join us for that community meeting. this coming sunday, on tax day, we are having the sunday street in the richmond district and sunset district along golden gate park in my district all the way to the great highway 2 is to, so i will make sure i'm out there with all of the families in golden gate park and lastly, i am working with friends of the urban forest to make sure we are maintaining our canopy of trees, especially in the outer richmond district, so joining me this saturday morning. it is right close to golden gate

park. we will be planting trees and you can meet friends of the urban forest. the last point about creating a more livable district, i am proud to be working with the botanical garden society to make sure we are rebuilding the outdated nursery and then do $14 million project will help increase access for visitors and children to create a learning center. my daughter learned quite a bit about science by frequent trips to the botanical garden. this new improvement will allow 10,000 children a year to create a new generation of environmental students to make sure we are protecting that greenery in our city.
