have lots and lots of policies that we don't think are necessarily relevant because other people have them or somebody wants to say, well, you should have that just because it is generalized. and so, we have not taken action on those. and there is going to be do we pass the one? >> at the last board meeting? no. it is coming to us. we have one policy that needs to be... we would have liked we thought that we were going to finish this section and then we would do that altogether but since we are not to, we have one that is time sensitive that needs to be update that had will come to us and we will bring this back, but we are going to ask the staff to work with us closely to actually do a review at this committee that they can now look at where we evaluate where we want to recommend to the board that we have the policies at all and trying to keep to integrate all of the policies that we have and the policies that have been created by the board resolution into the proposal. that is where we are and one

last thing, you know, there are other whole sections of policies that we have asked be referred to other committees that we don't think that the rules commission. so there is a section of policies on facilities that goes to the buildings and grounds there is a section on finance that should go to the budget committee and so we would like the leadership to make those reference and to work with our staff and to refer those sections of the policy to other committee to do the same kind of, i know, tough and complex and detailed work that we are doing. so that is the report, thank you very much. >> thank you. >> commissioner? >> yes, i wanted to add to that. what she is talking about and it is just tedious to go to the committee wheres that work is appropriate. i would like them to add this on as an information item that you take a piece of it every meeting. so you can get through it and not expected to get through the whole thing in one of your committee meetings and just

take a bit at a time so you can get through it and you can get that work back to the board. >> i could just say one thing. i think that we need to, you know, officially it needs to be referred by the board through or by the board leadership to a committee. actually it should go first to the staff liaison of those committees because you will have the same issue. everything that we have and everything that everybody else has and see how they can be integrated and what we want to have and what... and i actually think that is a mistake that we made is that we said, okay, let's just try to integrate what we have and then we have a huge amount of stuff and we are unable to make a huge amount of judgments i think that you need the staff work first. >> i think that we will as the chair or the present request that staffing of chose committees look at those particular policies. so, are there any other standing members report? >> i don't think so.

>> if you have a date of your next meeting, please announce it. >> so, personnel labor will meet on the 26th of september. starting at 6:00 p.m. >> anybody else? >> commissioner? >> september 17th meeting of building and grounds has been canceled due to rosh hashana and so we will convene on october 15th. >> commissioner? >> yes, the curriculum program committee met yesterday and we got an update on the athrough g and how many of our students are on track and how many are off track for the 2014 class, is the first class that will have to graduate with the new graduation requirements and we received rather disturbing news, high percentages of african americans, upwards of 80 percent and latinos almost 80 percent are off track to

graduate. the 2015 class is projected to be about the same numbers at this time next year. so we are looking at ways to do interventions. we are tweaking the numbers and making sure that they are correct, before we absolutely publish these numbers to the public. even though we had great gains this year, just a reminder that we have a great gap and a lot of work to do. having said that, our next curriculum meeting is october first. >> at 5:00. >> thank you. >> are there any board delegates to the membership organization report? >> if i see none, are there any other reports? >> commissioner? >> thank you, president. >> i want to report quickly, about the consideration and defer deportation for childhood arrivals at mission high school this past friday and saturday was so well supported by our staff and volunteers from the community. i just want to thank everyone, everyone that came with honest

and true and direct information for those people who were eligible so that they could be educated and find out how to apply and really how to avoid folks who are putting out fraudulent information are trying to take advantage of eligible participants. we really did note that there is even though there is such a great opportunity here, there is still quite a bit of fear surrounding this process. and i believe that we along with those partners will continue to work to bring this to light and much of the attendance was word of mouth. as much as we did publicly here and through those organizations, our community-based partners, still this was really attended the word of mouth so that so important that we continue to talk with our cbo partners and let them know that if we are able to host another event, that we get the word of mouth out to schools so they can pass

it to those families who are eligible. and i want to thank the deputy's support, part don me, superintendent, i got used to say the long intro. for showing up and really being so supportive of families and staff. and i so much praise for you and i was so surprised to see you there and they were really thrilled and thank you for coming and anderson also for coming on friday evening. and just to really, show more support for this action and thank the mission high school community for being such leaders around this endeavor. >> thank you superintendent. >> thank you, president lee. >> thank you. so item t, report of closed session actions? >> for september 4th, 2012, the board of education by the vote of 6 ayes and one absent approved the contract for one director. in the matter of zo verses

sfusd case 2012070067 the board of education by a vote of six ayes and one absent approved the settlement of $31,100. item u, other informational items. no other staff reports tonight. wendy lee, i do not want you to get used to this. we end this meeting a little after 7:00 every time. >> meeting adjourned.

>> we came to seven straight about 10 years ago. -- 7th street about 10 years ago. the environment is huge. it is stronger than willpower. surrounding yourself with artists, being in a culture where artists are driving, and where a huge amount of them is a healthy environment. >> you are making it safer.

push, push. that is better. when i start thinking, i see it actually -- sometimes, i do not see it, but when i do, it is usually from the inside out. it is like watching something being spawned. you go in, and you begin to work, excavate, play with the dancers, and then things began to emerge. you may have a plan that this is what i want to create. here are the ideas i want to play with, but then, you go into the room, and there maybe some fertile ideas that are becoming manifest that are more interesting than the idea you had initially set out to plan. so there has to be this openness for spontaneity. also, a sense that regardless of the deadline, that you have tons of time so the you can keep your

creativity alive and not cut it off and just go into old habits. it is a lot like listening. really listening to watch what is going to emerge. i like this thing where you put your foot on his back. let's keep it. were your mind is is how you build your life. if you put it in steel or in failure, it works. that works. it is a commitment. for most artists, it is a vacation and a life that they have committed themselves to. there is this notion that artists continue to do their work because of some kind of the external financial support. if that was taken away, artists would still do their art. it is not like there is a

prerequisite for these things to happen or i will not do it. how could that be? it is the relationship that you have committed to. it is the vocation. no matter how difficult it gets, you are going to need to produce your art. whether it is a large scale or very small scale. the need to create is going to happen, and you are going to have to fulfill it because that is your life. >> good afternoon. this iso8yc the land use and economic development committee board of supervisors. it's monday, september 10. it's beautiful outside by the

>> chair mar: so, it looks like supervisor olague has left. so we have to present,mu planning department,> aaron staffer from the on july 12, 2012 the planning commission votedj-ws 6-0 to recommend approval of the ordinance with modifications. the 86k;+red ordinance would allow existingc service stations of a certain size located on 19th avenue from lincoln avenuerr& boulevard to provide mechanical, with conditional use authorization. >> supervisor mar: we have i was going to ask if she has any introductoryd(:,>p)ks. >> i'm sure you will cover a lot of what i will mention but i'll it is appropriate to allow the

intensification of useqm-yá certain sites, that are of a certain square footage, and already serve this legislation wouldn't allow new stations to pop up, but% instead works within the confines of existing stations on and proposes very specific metrics that the projects must no, and waste mitigation. conditions that require the stations to demonstrate that they have ! considerations of the impacts on the envirqs$? including limiting it to stations on lots of at least 12,000 square> performance of a traffic study, a no environmental practices. again, this is an as of rightmz? situation. it will be subject to a lot of

scrutiny and a lot of public input and so i also have the cosponsorship of7 initially, there were some challenges to it i think based on thew impression that it was as of 8t)ht, which it isn't. enough, you know, areas where people do have the ability to weigh÷ so i think it's a good piece of legislation. supervisor. mr. starr. >> again, the commission votedjc 6-0 to approve. with aa&lcñ modification from -s could happen so long$?)oí(j a lt merger assembly was not in the project.

it's our understanding it was not included in the ordinance before you of the 12 automobile service stations located on 19th avenue[&[1v from lincoln avenue- only four meet the requirements identified in the proposed legislation. one is located on the corner of district, one located on the7çn@ corner of irving street within the inner sunset commercialp district, one on the corner of 19th andaz÷ taraval, and m2 zoning district, and one is located at the intersection of]b zoning. that concludes my presentation thank you. >> chair mar: i see no questions. let's open this up for public- comment. is there anyone from the public that would like to speak?ç katy tang. >> i'm here to offer our

legislation currently in this form. again as planning mentioned it wouldu&b stations on 19th avenue, two of which now-vk fall in ourg district after redistricting. we believe that this legislation will give residents andbbsi merchants in the area the ability to actually weigh in on whether they would like a car washúx$h,÷ not. as you know on the west side of we believe this legislation will be a great vehicle for them -- there will be the cu requirements if certain conditions are met that they can say yes ory> way back when, we had asked project sponsors to meet with our neighbors and+ associations so we appreciate that they did try to reach out. but given the fact thisr legislation wasn't in place back then the neighbors didn't have a say as to whether -- or they opportunity for input. so with that, we do urge your support on this legislation. >> chair mar: thank+ ó@ you. i know that there's two car

they're on geary boulevard. there's a shell station and a hand wash(ec so sunset has none at all. can i ask,b-fay ms. tang, are te four sites owned by smallerzu5 merchants? i'm just curious because i know that gas stations are having a hard time rightykt3v now with -d of clean air regulations, and many other cha!h!i)es. but are these larger stations, merchants? >> two of them are shell believe and two are chevrons the quair footage requirement but i believe they are family operated. thank you. so seeing no other questions, let's open this up for public comment. isç]/[gñ there anyone else frome public that would like to speak? seeing none, public

closed. supervisorçsñ9 olague. >> supervisor olague: no additional comments. >> chair mar: colleagues, can positive -- supervisor >> supervisor wiener: thank you. i'm supportive of this legislation. and i actually think it raises a hear that there are no car other side of town ?mch5

>> it would establish a citywide transportation sustainability fee which would apply to all net new development to fund transportation system improvements
