to the strip yard, brick and construction site their home under going renovation a at the particular timing to steal bleachers from the parks and wiring additionally our police department conducts a series of sting operation and is uncovered some of our dealers accepting materials that have been pistollen and false documentation and as a result we took at the permit requirements for junk dealers and for clarification the definition does not include -- severely out of date and did not enable the police department to meted our public safety objectiving for example under the current

permitting structure the permit never entires therefore the police department doesn't have an at some point to renew these and -- suspenses can be very long and additionally there have been changes that have not been formally incorporate to the legislative process this legislation does a number of thing it requires that all of the -- junk dealers until the city conveniently they are all in district ten did i mention that and requires that anyone who's not a license licensed contractor and wishes to the sell junk obtain a permanent from the police department and minimize the cost from the individual sellers they will only need to renew the permanent for two years and allow the department to revoke or suspend a permanent for facilities if they determine that the illegal behavior is taking place and gives the community and

department increased over site and ability to work with junk dealers to better the neighborhood. revoke junk dealers to become better neighbors and excuse me. and it also makes change toss conform to our local process and is recent updates and state law and the fees soaivetted with the permits cover the costs of work performed by the division and any building inspection and fire department and updating our city's commercial towing and commercial parking lot supports this is an important step to abate middle step and it will go a long way in making the industry more transparent and lastly this legislation would not have been possible without the officers at the station and many neighbors and merchants that have also given voice to this process and this is valid

and long overdue and colleagues i do ask for your support on this legislation. >> colleagues with can he take this in house in call. >> i'll be supporting this legislation and one aspect -- but there is a benefit that i see that happens in my district is we have a lot of people who are junk gatherers in my district and park their vehicles throughout the compel sells corior and throughout thigh neighbor and i didn't support the over size vehicle legislation because we could a mass a certain amount of sinuses -- but this legislation may require a gatherer to have a permanent in their vehicle and in their car and is to me, that seems a better way to bring some accountability to how the appearance of the vehicles are that blunder our neighbors and

it doesn't solvent problem but it gets us a step closer and that is not the only reason i'm supporting it but i'll be backing this legislation. >> supervisor cohen. thank you the one thing that i want to assess is the $700 fees for the permit holder amortizable. >> colleagues if you contain the same house same call without an objection this item is passed item 25. >> item 25 for the valencia -- thank you this ordinance allows to operate and other -- to operate under conditional use third floor along the value 11 sea commercial transit district and in researching this issue we realize right now they are able

he seived regularly in the united states army and korean war and is the father of three children two sons and one dear and i send my condole lenses out to his family he was one of my sunday schoolteachers growing up and brang donuts holes to class and making the subject matter very interesting and enjoyable and i grew up with his grandchildren and it's a great loss that san francisco has suffered in losing mr. bradford and so iggs again colleagues i hope to close out the board in his memory and this is the memory of mr. bradford. >> thank you ms. cohen.

mr. chu. >>? mr. campos, thank you mr. clerk i have a numb of number of items and the first is authorizing the-off real estate for 17th and folsome street park project and i also have a memoriam for man we will spain rod drying guess and he was one of the district's most colorful andby loved artist and is with robert crumb influenced generations of cartoonists and not only in the mission but throughout the city and born in new york to an italian artist mother mr. rod drying guess dropped his first name in favor of spain passionate about his latino heritage created murals with crumb in the late 1960's

and 70s, in in addition, to zap economics his works include biographygraphy and dark hotel online graphic novellings, spain was working on a graphic story for the 2004 san francisco hotel workers strike, so, we would like to ask that we adjourn the meeting today in his memory. i also have another item as you know as a city, we have been working with other cities to deal with the issue of homelessness within our veteran population. we have been involved with the hundred days campaign to house veterans in 2012. president obama established a goal to end

veteran's homelessness by 2015 which i think is doable and the department of housing and urban development came together to establish the hud slash veterans housing program which, is models after section eight and san francisco has received 500 of the vouchers to date. we have learned that our chronically homeless veterans were having a difficult time finding apartments in the private marked in fact many veterans have had vouchers issued in 1212 and so what we have here is a situation where we have a federal agency, the mayor's office and housing authority and human services agency who have focused to encourage private landlords to provide housing for these

veteran and is a few months ago one of those landlords the owner of 2524 mission street came forward to offer to least his 33 stew apartments which are above the restaurant on joule which, is now the -- restaurant to least those apartments to veterans who have those vouchers and i think for those of us who really see the need to address this issue this is a very exciting possibility. you know the idea is that we would have a process that actually allows these veterans who have dedicated so much to this country to have housing that is it's really important. my office has been working with the director for the city former supervisor name to move this

forward so that those units can be made valuable to those veterans here in san francisco and so to make that happen i'm asking the city attorney to help draft legislation that will allow a toursist hotel like the one i'm talking about to use those units for residential purpose for homeless veteran and is then create a mechanism so that down the road, it can be existing use at the tourist hotel and there is a planning code in which acceptions were made recognizing the importance of actually dealing with the needs of these veteran and is we are also making sure that we are working with the affordable housing and low increase communities to make sure at that it's consistent with the other policies that we have in place and again we continue to work closely with the mayor's office i hope that has led this effort and negotiate with the landlords

about this possibility and i also note that yesterday, the federal government i announced that san francisco has reduced homelessness among our veterans by 60% since twee 11 and even though that is something to be proud of, i think we can do more in this effort, i think we should move in that direction. and the next item that i have is something that i mentioned last week much has been said recently about the housing authority but i wanted to make sure that as we discuss what is happening with that agency, that we go back to focusing on how this agency is fuelly serving the needs of it's residents. so i am introducing a motion directing the budget and legislative nillists to conduct a performance on it of the san francisco housing authority and making that audit

a priority and this will be a motion that would ensure a focus on compliance with all complicate federal state and local laws on the effectiveness of the governance of the agency and it will look all the financial over site and controls and status of implementations and prior recommendation and is other prior audits and recommendation that is have been made and i would also look at the other management and public housing resource and is including housing provided by section eight voucher and is as well as housing managed by other agencies and nonprofit corporation and is it will also look at the management and the ofl performance of agency personnel and we will look at how this agency compares in terms of best practices with other agencies not on in the region but nationally and so i want to thank the following

members of the board for their co sponsorship. supervisor avalos, supervisor mar and supervisor a wonk walky. and the last point that i would make because i was pope hoping that is something that would be ri solved by the time we got to our last board meeting much has been set said in the press about charlie the doing that attacked a horse in a doing bleach area and i don't know the specifics all of the details of the case but i would hope that we find a way of addressing the public safety concerns implcated and still saving the life of this animal i think it may be possible to strike that balance and i hope that happens the rest i submit. >> thank you supervisor. supervisor mar? thank you mr. clerk, i

have several items the first in the hearing on the m ta state of compress suppress busker and is service plans right now there are 18 peak hours express lines in san francisco serving 30,000 writers a day and of these six lines six serve 13,000 richmond district residents and these provides speed for commuter and is however the express routes have become just as crowded as the rest of the system and there will be new rider ship demands i'm doling calling for this hearing to hear updates from the m ta and from the transit effective please project and any probably changes and emerging system need and i look forward to meeting with the m ta and others on this body and i welcome my colleagues to take

part in this meeting we'll and i'm calling a hearing on the san francisco public urea tilities commission and out door tap water filling station for years the p uc has worked to educate residents to drink tap water it cost less than half a pen where he per gallon and is quality tested every year and highly regulated bodily the e.p.a. and furthermore the e pc is work to go install -- throughout the city and we are starting to see some major improvements the city has installed 11 water bottle filling stations to date and there are important reasons to promote tap water it's better for the environment is it saves residents money and cuts down on

the sugary consumption of beverages as well. and i also want to invite residents that i'm hold be coffee hours on ole gai ass cafe on the outer rich mopped and then my evening hours have a bear with me at steins on clement street and eight avenue near the old colosseum theater and on sat i'll be joining with the justice committee commemorating the 75th anniversary of the terrible tragedy 75 year ago at the chinese cultural center. the rest i'll submit. >> thank you mr. avalos. >> colleague i have one item for intrusion today it's an ordinance that would require the wick epipark commission to hold information hearing on permit complications for large scale

multiday events in our parks only this will help the lincoln's park outreach around these expeftsz promote public trust and this ordinance would not effect outside lands what this ordinance would basket would be required for event that occupy 25% or more of the area of the park for longer than 48 hours and so outside land is only a small portion of the entire golden gate park and i imagine that the park has it's own process for lock @out and supervising outside events as they look forward to the progresses on this staging. and the park is not over allowing and or denying applications it's similarly providing informational hearing i believe when we decide to use a

proposition of our park a public venue the public should be able to express their concerns or may have ideas about how events can be samed and setup and this will allow that to happen and we also have at times like we did for the detour event, closuresures of streets and we also want to have for whatever park events include any street colorsures that it has got -- it will be part of any hearing commission. and so as we move forward with this ordinance in place that we will have a public process to hear about large scale hearing process.. >> supervisor kim requested to be rereferred. >> thank you i also want to
