francisco define under 80 percent of the ami as low income and the enabling legislation creating a low income seat for the market-octavia cac does not provide otherwise. so i think for the sake of consistency we should be applying that standard. i will also note that this seat was held for a number of years by peter cohen, who by his own statement before this committee almost a year ago is not low income. and mr. cohen held the seat for quite some time and when he was not reappointed by the board of supervisors earlier this year 5 members of the board, two of whom are sitting here in this committee today, voted to reappoint him and i don't recall this issue being brought up. so i'm surprised it hear it being brought up today from someone who under san francisco's own definition of

low income undisputiblely qualifies as low income. so i do support mr. wolff and colleagues i ask for your support. >> thank you, supervisor wiener. supervisor farrell. >> to both candidates, thank you very much for coming forward. much appreciated. will looks like we'll have a split here. i associate myself with some of supervisor wiener's comments. you know, to me this is a seat where it's a low income seat but that's a qualification to sit on this, not that you have to be working as your vocation in that community necessarily. and i do believe i am very familiar with the lgbt center, i'm very supportive of that and rebecca and all the good work you do, that's something i would like to be supportive of, especially here given, as supervisor wiener mentioned,

it's the heart of this area. so anyways, i will again thank you to you both for being here, much appreciated. i will be supporting mr. wolff and will continue to do so at the full board. >> thank you, supervisor farrell. i believe we will have to take a roll call on this item. just very quickly, i actually want to concur with supervisor wiener's statements about the definitions. i think clearly it fits under the definition of low income. i think that's definitely the case. i think then peter cohen, we certainly felt that he could represent the perspective of low income communities due to his work in affordable housing so i think he was able to represent that perspective, but i do agree that i would much more prefer to have a resident in the market-octavia plan that is low income that understands the population, knows the population because they are their neighbors. so i think that is certainly important. i think that actually either of you will be great on the cac no

matter what happens at the full board i will support either of you. i do feel more comfortable moving ford with mr. steen as our recommendation to the full board but if it is the case the full board goes with mr. wolff, i will certainly support you to the full board as well. i want to comment quickly on the lgbt center. i agree it's at the heart of the plan but when we created the cac last december and we had 9 seats up, that issue did not come up that we needed to have someone from the lgbt center. i wish i had the opportunity to support the lgbt center last year when we had 9 open seats because that certainly was the case. i will move forward with this motion. can we take roll call on this motion, madam clerk. >> supervisor farrell. >> no. >> supervisor avalos. >> aye. >> supervisor kim. >> aye. >> kim aye, two ayes, one no.

>> i want to thank the applicants before us today, i think we have two great applicants before us and i look forward to seeing both of you in january when this item comes before the full board. out of consideration for our city attorney, who has child care duties, i am going to call item 10 and 11 out of order and i really apologize to howard bloomberg if you are here, i'm sorry this is taking some time. i believe justin true is here on behalf of president david chiu -- madam clerk, can you please call 10 and 11. >> item 10, ordinance amending the campaign governmental conduct code to require

electronic filing of campaign statements. no. 11, updating conflict of interest code. >> my name is judson true, i am here on these two items which president chiu sponsored. would you like to take 11 first or any particular order? >> i think we're just going to have both items --. >> they were directly connected other than being updated to our campaign and governmental conduct code. the first one is the item that's very simple, very clear, state law, a measure sponsored by assembly man ammiano now allows us to forego requiring any paper filing for campaigns. as you can see it's a short quick clear sirpl item. i know it was a priority of the city. mr. sincori championed us at

the local level and worked with mr. ammiano. they plan to implement it by next summer and would obviously not require any more filing of paper copies which makes imminent sense. the second item is a lengthy item that is the biannual requirement for us to update our conflict of interest code. it's a rather lengthy ordinance but an assembly of all the conflict of interest codes. each individual department works with the city department's office and ethics commission to update the categories whether or not certain officers of the city if they are involved in decisions of the city have to file form 700 statements of economic interest and so forth, so this is merely the requirement of our biannual update. i do have a request of the committee to adopt an amendment of the whole

since it is a lengthy ordinance as the city attorney went through it they found a few drafting errors and i can provide a copy to the clerk and provide a copy of the committee members and mr. gibner, deputy city attorney, is available to go over any substantive items of who is in what category. i do have a summary but it involves things like delete duplicate entries for the redevelopment commission and there is no longer a puc i am available for questions if the committee has any. >> i see no questions. supervisor avalos. >> do we have the commission on community investment infrastructure, is that part of this? >> that is a good question. i don't believe it's required at this point because it doesn't exist yet. the members haven't

been seated. >> will it be an oversight if it's not included here. >> what we're planning to do here once the committee is constituted and makes a formal hire of the executive director, we would work to come up with a list of all the positions under the commission and propose trailing legislation that would create a conflict of interest code -- amend the conflict of interest code. >> i note this isn't on as a committee report so is it possible at all that by january we will be able to introduce those amendments or probably not if they have to hire the executive director and do a number of other actions. >> it's possible, we were discussing it just this afternoon. i'm not sure. we can discuss it with the commissioners and the executive director. >> thank you, city attorney gibner. >> we did want to have this in committee before the end of the year, just to signal it was before the full board. >> thank you, mr. true. i see

no further questions from colleagues. at this time we will open up for public comment, if there's any public comment on this item. seeing none, public comment is closed. >> so motion to approve both items, accept the amendment of the whole for no. 11 and we can move forward with the recommendation. >> thank you, so we do have a motion to amend item no. 11 as stated by mr. true as an amendment of the whole, we can do that without objection. we also have a motion to move forward items 10 and 1 wpb to the full board without objection. >> item 8, appointment to the pedestrian safety advisory

committee. one seat, one applicant. >> howard bloomberg is here today. if you can talk about your experiences as relates to this seat, we appreciate your being here today. >> good afternoon, supervisors. my name is howard bloomberg, i live in south beach area of soma, have been there for, living there for 5 years. i came to the bay area in 2000 from the washington, dc area, i was hired in at lockheed martin in sunnyvale as a systems staff engineer to head a specific, be manager of a specific program, and i retired from lockheed martin 3 years ago. i think my major qualification is enthusiasm for walking in san francisco. it's a wonderful walking down, it has the potential of being really one of the great walking areas

in the world. this enthusiasm has led me to notice there are issues with pedestrian safety and fortunately in this city where there are organizations covering just about everything that happens in the city, there are organizations associated with pedestrian safety, in particular in district 6 supervisor kim has an organization now run by sunny angelo on pedestrian safety and i have been attending those meetings and in fact have found them very interesting. when the mayor had the task force for pedestrian safety there was a subcommittee on data, the data subcommittee. i attended those meetings, they were very interesting. the question was, well, we have data, what do we do with the data, how do we relate data to the issues at hand. i found

that to be very, very interesting. i have attended the psac meetings for a very long time as a member of the public. and i noticed that the one advantage i've seen with the psac, really a great advantage, is its continual organization. it obviously reports to the board of supervisors and it has the capability of really having a strategic function and for that reason as i have attended meetings i've thought, well, we do, the psac has a lot of input from various organizations on traffic calming, on street modification, and one of the suggestions i did make not too long ago was that the police should really, we should step back, the police should really give us an idea of how well are we doing with regard to

pedestrian-vehicle accidents including the number of fatalities. in a periodic sense so that we have some idea of how well the city is doing compared to the -- with respect to the metrics that will come out of the mayor's goals and in fact in comparison with other cities in america and throughout the world. my view is that we're dealing not only with tragedy but we're dealing with health issues, health costs, and that i think should be one of the major issue that could come out eventually from the psac so i believe that there are a lot of issues that can be done. i think taking a strategic view of the psac as well as incorporating all the input that comes into the city that people in the psac, we should be doing our own individual -- we do that when we submit a report to the board of

supervisors but we can spend time actually pulling things together, looking at the data which may or may not come from the organizations in the city, and pull that together and make recommendations on a continual basis to the board of supervisors and meet goals that we want to meet with regard to pedestrian safety in the future. also i have a feeling that -- and again, i walk a lot and i'm always observing things -- that we really have to develop a comity between cars, bicycles and pedestrians. we can't isolate one from the other, we have to incorporate all in the mix and i think if we do that, it's not an easy task but if we concentrate on reaching that kind of a goal i think we can make pedestrian safety really an outstanding feature of life in san francisco. thank you.

>> okay, thank you so much for being here again today and also we really appreciate your patience, mr. bloomberg, i know you have been very active in the d6 pedestrian safety committee and you have also been attending psac meetings. (inaudible) wrote a letter in support of your candidacy today. >> i am representing walk sf >> it's certainly a huge priority of our office to improve pedestrian safety in our district as the high number of collisions between cars and pedestrians are simply unacceptable and as we grow, it's become a more residential neighborhood and south of market i think your perspective will be very important there as well so thank you for applying for the seat. >> at this time we will open up for public comment. if you would like to speak on this item, please do come up. >> supervisors, thanks for hearing me, my name is sheila

malcolm, i'm a friend of howard bloomberg. i came here in 2003 from chicago and in the 70's when i was living in chicago i actually got run over, i was hit and run over by a taxi that went over my legs with the front wheels and then the back wheels of the cab and i have lived to tell the story and i can walk around pretty well. i had to go through a lot of therapy but i'm fine. so i am concerned about pedestrian safety. and when howard -- he and i met because i do legacy film festival on aging, we're going into our fourth year of the festival, and i invited howard to be on the board and he got us nonprofit status. well, then he started talking about pedestrian safety which of course i'm concerned about, but to the point that there were

times i thought, oh, my god, i hope he gets on to a committee that he can work with so that i don't have to hear about it every day. and that's one of my recommendations for mr. bloomberg to be on -- but actually he really is concerned and he has pointed out lots of dangerous intersections and so forth. so i recommend him to the committee. thank you. >> thank you for being here and also thank you for sharing your story. is there any other public comment on this item? seeing none, public comment is closed. mr. bloomberg, i want to again thank you for your patience and sitting through this rules committee meeting. certainly excited to be able to support you to be a member of psac i think it's also, i did not note this before but it's also important that we represent our seniors that live in the south of market and we have many seniors that live in the south

of market and i think it's important that that perspective is represented as well. >> motion to move mr. bloomberg forward with recommendation to the full board. >> thank you, so we do have a motion and we have a second and we can do that without opposition. thank you very much. madam clerk, can you please call item no. 9? >> item no. 9, ordinance amending the police code provisions for clipper cove special use area adjacent to special use area adjacent to treasure island . >> for the record, peter summerville, former isla vista resident. before you today is a proposed ordinance amending san francisco police code section 1.1. as you are aware, clipper cove is the still water body of water located between treasure island and yerba buena

island. in august 2009 the board of supervisors unanimously approved ordinance 193.09 creating clipper cove as a special use area. the current ordinance requires vessels anchored in clipper cove for more than 24 hours to permit an anchorage permit. 3,

make it unlawful for any person to conduct salvage operations or possess salvage materials from clipper code without title approval. shall be charged solely as a misdemeanor under the proposed amendments. 4, allow tida to assess violations to police section 1.1, with fines and appeal process consistent with san francisco administrative code. requiring appropriate public notice and public hearing prior to addition, revision or repeal of any rules and regulations and the filing of these revised rules and regulations with the clerk of the board of supervisors. finally, the amendment revises the title of the ordinance, clarifies references to the methods of

anchorage, endorsed by the tida board of directors at its october 2012 meeting and the police department is in concurrence with their recommendations. this concludes my remarks and i am available for any questions. >> thank you, i do not see any questions. at this time we will open up for public comment. if there is any public comment on this item. seeing none, public comment is closed. thank you, mr. summerville, for being here to present. can i entertain a motion to move forward to the full board? we do have that motion and we can do that without opposition. madam killer, are there

>> welcome to culture wire. we will look at the latest and greatest public art project. recently, the airport unveiled the new state of the art terminal. let's take a look. the new terminal service and american airlines and virgin america was designed by a world- renowned architecture's firm. originally built in 1954, the building underwent massive renovation to become the first registered terminal and one of the must modern and sustainable

terminals and the united states. the public art program continues its 30-year legacy of integrating art into the airport environment with the addition of five new commissions that are as bold and dynamic as the new building. >> this project was completed in record time, and we were able to integrate the artist's early enough in the process that they could work with the architect said that the work that is completed is the work that really helps complement and instill the space as opposed to being tucked away in a corner. >> be experience begins with the glass facades that was designed with over 120 laminated glass panels. it captures the experience of being under or over clouds when flying in a plane.

depending on the distance or point of view, it can appear clear for more abstract and atmospheric. the subtle colors change gradually depending on the light and the time of day. >> i wanted to create an art work that looks over time as well as working on in the first glance. the first time you come here, you may not see a. but you may be able to see one side over the other. it features a couple of suspended sculptures. each was created out of a series of flat plains run parallel to each other and constructed of steel tubing. >> it is made up of these strata. as the light starts to shift, there is a real sense that there is a dynamism.

>> it gives the illusion that this cultures might be fragments of a larger, mysterious mass. >> the environmental artwork livens it with color, light, and the movement. three large woven soldiers are suspended. these are activated by custom air flow program. >> i channeled air flow into each of these forms that makes it move ever so slightly. and it is beating like a heart. if-0 when as of the forces of nature moving around us every second. >> shadow patterns reflect the shapes of the hanging sculptures.

the new terminal also features a children's play areas. both of the market the exploratory n.y. -- exploratorium. the offer travelers of all ages a playful oasis. using high quality plywood, they created henches shaped like a bird wings that double as musical instruments. serving as a backdrop is a mural featuring images of local birds and san francisco's famous skyline. >> in the line between that is so natural, you can see birds and be in complete wilderness. i really like that about this. you could maybe get a little snapshot of what they are

expecting. >> it is an interactive, keck sculpture that is interacted with by the visitor. >> they are a lot about and they fall down the belt. it moves the belt up, and if you turn that faster, the butterflies fall in the move of words. >> the art reflect the commission's commitment to acquiring the best work from the bay area and beyond. in addition to the five new commissions, 20 artworks that were already in the airport collection were reinstalled. some of which were historically cited in the terminal. it includes major sculptures by the international artists. as a collection, these art works tell the story of the vibrant

arts scene in the early 1960's through the mid-1980s's. the illustrate san francisco's cultural center and a place of innovation that is recognized and the love throughout the world. one of the highlights is a series of three left tapestries. they are on view after being in storage for 20 years. these tapestries representing various gardens. from his years of living in san francisco. hydrangeas, chrysanthemums, and whilst dahlias in rich, deep shades as they make their way to the baggage area. they can access behind-the- scenes information and interviews with the artist through an audio to work. it features archival audio as

well as interviews with living artists. he can be accessed on site by dialing the telephone numbers located near the artwork or by visiting the commission's web site. the public art speaks volumes of san francisco as a world-class city with world-class art and culture. for more information, visit impossible. announcer: when you open a book, you can explore new lands...
