really pleased and happy to be reconsidered and nominated to serve on the food security task force. as you may know, there's still a lot of unmet needs with the city with regard to providing meals to low-income seniors as well as adults with disabilities and being on the task force offers me opportunities to network with other groups, whether they are city government departments or non-profit organizations to be able to do our job a little bit better and think of ways that we can be more innovative and at the same time offer services more cost effectively. >> thank you, any questions of ms. lau? seeing none, thank you. and you're a resident of san francisco? >> yes. >> thank you. next, maria leclair. >> good afternoon, supervisors,

i'm mapper raoe ya leclair, i've been in this position for 19 and a half years and i also supervise on the wic program director, wic is the women, infant and children supplemental nutrition program for low-income women, infants and children up to the age of 5. i have been a wic director for different agencies, i was in san mateo and i also worked in the central valley at a federally qualified health center for 35 years now, and my passion has always been nutrition and how to get food to those in need. here in san francisco, we have an outstanding program, we serve breastfeeding women, we have a peer counselor project

by feeding promotion project that we are very, very proud. we are also committed to making or pushing or encouraging i guess i should say the birthing hospitals here in the city to become baby-friendly. so far, out of the only one that is baby-friendly is san francisco general hospital, so we're pushing the other ones along. i have a passion for working here in the city for low-income people and i'm very honored to be nominated again to serve on the food security task force. thank you. >> thank you, maria. any questions? okay. >> i just have a question. ms. leclair, thank you so much for your service. i wanted to ask you a question that might be separate from this particular issue, but you

work with wic and i was wondering, was any information communicated to you about the ten cent bag fee and that if someone receives wic, that they don't have -- the bag fee is waived? >> no, they haven't. >> okay. >> i don't know anything about that. but i can find out. >> well, i just was told that the bag fee is supposed to be waived for those who receive -- >> who receive wic programs. >> and i wanted to make sure that information was getting to wic and explain that outreach to the folks there, but i just wanted to ask and i'm happy to follow up with you about the issue but i wanted to know if you knew about it. >> no, i don't know about that, no. >> thank you. >> thank you. >> paula jones. >> good afternoon, members of the rules committee and

chairman yee, my name is paula jones, i work for the department of public health and i work on food system policy and planning, i'm the director, i've been working on food system issues in san francisco since 1998, i've lived in all of your neighborhoods at one time or another so i've lived all over the city for 21 years but currently do not. i wanted to sort of echo some of my colleagues sort of characterization of the food security task force and the fact that it's a very collaborative and functional group, we work very closely together and i wanted to give you some data around the need still that exists. and we're pulling all this together for you and for all of your -- actually districts so you'll know saltily all the food resources and the districts and your issues, we'll be tactbacker constringing you all to give you that data, but currently, we have over 100 thousand people in san francisco getting

food from food pantries every week, so that is, you know, getting food from the food bank either at a community center, at a church or some place like that. we also have over 19 thousand housing units without cooking facilities, without kitchens in san francisco, this is a big problem for food security, and they looked at the food needs of residents in san francisco living at 185% of poverty or less, so the qualifications for a reduced price lunch and belore or wic envelope, and they looked at all the resources that are out there from cal fresh, from wic, from school meals, all of these and from community needs programs and they found there is still with all of those resources, there's still 145 thousand meals missing a day for that population, so this is why we come together as a group because we know this and because we are working closely

at city agencies with each other and with community based organizations, so i love this group, i grew up on a farm so i'm from an agricultural background and worked on food system issues here in san francisco if many years and i would be honored to remain a member of the task force, thank you. >> thank you. >> a question for you, ms. jones, you mentioned 185 as a number, is that 185ami. percent of poverty, okay. thank you. >> any other questions? thank you. >> jessie mandle? >> hello, good afternoon. my name is jessie mandle and i am the senior program planner for the department of children, youth and their families and i manage our nutrition programs at dcwf and i manage the summer

lunch and after school snacks program, the summer program is our biggest program and this is a program that provides lunches to children 18 and under when school is out because there's a big need, people don't have a place to get lunch during the summertime so we provide lunch at community based sites, to over 85 sites across the city and last year, we served around 200 thousand meals, over 200 thousand meals, we also collaborate with the school district to make sure that if they are able to take a place at a school site that we work closely with them so we're not duplicating service and that it's an effective program. i also present the food and fitness community, last year was my first year running the program and being on the food task force was a wonderful

experience, not only did we start to think strategically how the program can include but collaborating with people like food runners and other agencies like the food bank to make sure we were avoiding waste as well and last year was my first year and i'm looking forward to continuing to run the program and i'm honored to be reappoint to the task force committee and i'm not a resident of san francisco currently although i have in the past, but during summertime, i may as well be here, thank you very much. >> thank you, have -- any questions? seeing none, thank you. mei ling hui. >> good afternoon, supervisors, i oversee the urban agriculture program and sf environment which is the city's environment department, i've been there for five and a half years and launched the urban agriculture

program two years ago, it came out of a series of projects, supporting the zone coding changes which allow urban commercial farming now in san francisco, i currently participate in the urban sustainability director's network program working group which has representatives across north america, i've worked on many different aspects of several urban farm projects around this city, inside of sfe, we've run a study on the viability of commercial urban agriculture locally, we created a faoezabilities or strategy plan for urban farms to be more successful.

i run the orchard's program where we plant fruit and nut trees through carbon fund dollars, i've been attending the task force meetings for about a year now, i've had the opportunity to work on a couple of different things with the task force, one of them was helping review and provide support for california cottage food, another one was a project where they're looking at including urban garden programs for food security issues, so i've been really appreciative, all the work that i've been able to do in this area and i'm honored to be considered to help move forward the food security task force for urban agriculture and i'm happy to answer any questions? >> any questions? seeing none, thank you very much. i have to say that we have a very well qualified group of people here to be on the food

security task force and are there any public comments? seeing none, public comment is closed. is there any thought to -- can we move to nomination? >> i just wanted to make a few comments about the task force in general and thank you all so much for your service. this issue is really important to me. i worked in the western edition community with kids and oftentimes found myself spending a whole lot of money on buying food to make sure that our children are eating and so -- and also growing up, the program during the summer, the lunch program at the park and rec sites was the place we went to in order to have lunch, so these programs are so important and also reaching those kids who need food and nutrition and other things that you all are looking at as a task force, they are extremely important and one of the things

that -- one of the challenges that we had as an organization, we were fortunate enough to have a van and the ability to pick up from the food bank, but not all programs and groups that serve this population have that same ability, and so i'd like to just ask that when looking at ways in which we provide support to communities that we're looking to serve, that we look at transportation issues, we look at application process and some organizations or individual's inability to maybe have the expertise to complete the application or make the application process. i know that was one of the biggest challenges of some of our public housing sites and not being able to meet the deadline in order to be a site, although it was extremely important they had food during the summer because there were issues around safety for some of these kids who could not

necessarily go to other program sites, and so just looking at those sort of issues moving forward on the task force are things that i really care about and i definitely will be paying attention to and they're all things you care about which i know is why you're serving so with that, i would be happy to move this, the nomination and do i need to list out the names? >> if you don't mind. >> i don't mind, leo o'farrell for seat 8, linda lau for seat 9, maria leclair for seat 10, dr. paula jones for seat 11, jessie mandle for seat 12, and mei lig hui for seat 13, thank you. >> is there a second? >> second. >> okay, so move to the full board without objection. >> excuse me, supervisor, would you like to waive residency

requirement for applicants maria leclair, paula jones and jessie mandle? >> so moved. >> is there a second? >> second. >> okay, without objection, so motion will go to full board. item number -- congratulations, i should say that. >> congratulations, thank you. >> thank you very much. >> item number 7, madam clerk >> madam number 7 is an ordinance amending the administrative code by repealing article viii to dissolve the neighborhood community justice task force. >> okay, hi. >> good afternoon, chair yee, members of the committee, may i also request that you read the last two items on the agenda and we can take these as a group. >> madam clerk? >> item number 8 is an ordinance to amend the

administrative code to dissolve the energy efficiency steering committee, and item 9 is a resolution repealing resolution number 432-10 to dissolve the area plan infrastructure finance committee. >> angela, the clerk of the board, every year the office of the clerk of the board prepares an appointment list consisting of all regular and ongoing subordinate bodyser board's commissions to be appointed by the board of supervisors, this list is known as the local appointment list or the matti act. in december, we finalized that report and submitted it to the board and to the public. the board's rules of order further requires the clerk of the board each year from that list to determine and identify every subordinate body that has not met consistently for four month and is to request the city attorney's office to prepare legislation to repeal

the legislation or ordinance that established the body and those are the last four items before you today, and we would like to thank linda wong because she is the one who compromises the mighty act for us. the clerk's office has three items before you, the first is the area plan infrastructure committee, it was established in 2010 and sponsored by former supervisor soef fee maxwell, the response from the planning department indicated the committee has not yet in over one year, since this committee has not met in the last four years, it's fallen below the standard to continue and we're requesting you recommend the full board that we repeal this resolution, the next item is the neighborhood community justice task force established by ordinance in june, 2010, it was sponsored by supervisor david chu, since the passage of

the ordinance, a vacancy notice has been put on the board's website, since july, 2010, however, no members of the public has shown interest during the last two and a half years and no applications have been received to serve on the bore, so this task force we feel has not met the required standard to continue, they haven't had their first meeting, there are no plans to do so and with the blessing, we recommend to the full board that this be dissolved. the final item is the energy efficiency steering committee, it was established by an ordinance in april of 2010 sponsored by supervisor mar, since the massage of this ordinance, a vacancy notice has been posted on the board's website since may 11, 2010, no members of the public has shown interest during the two and a half year period and no

applications have been received, there's been no public interest to apply for this committee and it has not had its first meeting, it's fallen below the required standard to continue, i would normally request this committee recommend to the full board the repealing of the steering committee but we have a unique situation, with this particular issue, after the deadline, i heard from supervisor mar's office of their preference that this steering committee continue. i understand that perhaps nick pagalato is in the audience today and may be requesting this committee sever this item from this list and not move it forward to the board with the other two items. that concludes my presentation. i'm available for questions. >> sure. any questions? any public comment? >> good afternoon, supervisors, nick pagalatos representing supervisor mar. there suddenly is interest in

maintaining this committee active, we have received contact from the bright line defense project, they have indicated they are committed to keeping this committee active and they will be working with us to find members for this committee, so respectfully, we ask that you sever it from the list and keep it active. thank you. >> thank you. do we need to have a motion to sever this from the list? >> [inaudible]. >> we're talking about item number 8, i believe. >> yeah. >> to the chair, angela, clerk of the board, you can just continue this item to the call of the chair, that would be specifically ms. wong, the item with the energy steering committee. >> so, i will ask this item be continued. then the other two item, items number 7 and number 9, are there any public comments on them? seeing none, public comment is closed. colleagues, is there a motion?

>> second. >> seeing no objection, we'll move it to the full board. madam clerk, is there anything else on our agenda? >> no, mr. chair, the agenda is completed. >> okay, so this meeting is adjourned. (meeting is adjourned). >> all right, good morning everyone. my name is monique moirer. i have the honor of the port

commissioners and staff to welcome you back to the san francisco port. and this historic pier 48. pier 48 as you may know was one of the last piers built right before world war ii. it was built in concert with pier 45 and fisherman's wharf in the changes of technology in cargo movement. those changes were stimulated by the fact that we had two bridges opening up here in the bay. and our opportunities to move cargo changed by vessel and rail to also by truck. pier 48 as you can see is much like all the other piers you are familiar with. it has a great large and long apron for cargo to be shipped and stored and out into distribution. the difference of pier 48 than others you know. on this side is a second transit

shed with another apron. in the middle is a long divide. that's where the rail cars and the trucks came in to pick up the cargo. across the way is seawall lot 337. that was filled in by the santa fe railway. in order to create a new headquarters for their train movement. that would go down the peninsula and out into the greater california area. and seawall 337 known as lot "a" and pier 48 have been designed to go together since their inception. as you know the port authority has worked with the stakeholders and our partners led by the san francisco giants. to create a new excitement and energy and one that is san

francisco's world-wide commerce with residential and with recreation. there is no other port in the world that is doing it at quite the level that san francisco is doing it. and we have such a great opportunity to blur the lines between neighborhood and jobs. and have them co-exist together. it's in fact somewhat visionary and somie inine inine ining -- get complemented all the time. we picked the perfect partner, san francisco giants, and they highlight with well-placed wins and championships and world series trophies that we are pleased about. and they have shown their great vision and entrepreneurial spirit by picking themselves a new partner. and that partner is anchor brewers and disstillers.

a san francisco icon, and icon firm and craftsman beer that we would today called san francisco made. it's my honor to introduce all dignita dignitaries. i would first like to recognize mayor ed lee. [applause] supervisors carmen chu, jane kim, and malia cohen. c.e.o. port commission president, and former commissioner michael hardaman. fire chief. and san francisco jim

lathermyth. and san francisco made we have katie and sarah from spur. as well as many of our neighborhood leaders, i saw mike bishop from the southern waterfront. and katie from the central waterfront. and the commerce advisory committee. and of course all of you who i hope are not just only san francisco giant fans but fans of home-made beer here in san francisco. and it's my great honor to introduce entrepreneurial spirit. mr. gregor was born and raised in the united kingdom. he then moved to singapore at the age of nine. he's lived in amazing cities around the world. so he brings with him an international spirit. but also a passion for san francisco. he and his partner, tony foglio are known for building up the

best brands and keeping them both emerging but honoring their roots. so i can't think of a better tenant and partner for this historic pier 48 than anchor brewers and distillers. join me in welcoming keith gregor. [applause] >> thank you. is everyone warm enough? this is great weather for making beer. anchor is one of america's oldest breweries. with origins back to the gold rush. by 1896 the famous brand emer emerged. a real san francisco icon and only 118 years old at the moment. not that many years pass easily.

earthquakes. fire. and prohibition and bankruptcy all stood in the way. but they would not end our history. anchor brewery has called six locations as home. and today i am thrilled to announce our seventh home here at pier 48. anchor's revival was in 1969 when mass markets and beers steamed unstoppable. with anchor facing bankruptcy and one took over to continue to get his favorite brew anchorstein. and at that time no one knew that over the next decade would introduce the craft movement and making anchor the first craft

brewery. perhaps we shouldn't be surprised that the first brewery began in san francisco. as these things are part of this great city's dna. today we will still remain true to our traditional brewing methods. our beers stand out in quality, taste and originality. most importantly they are still made in san francisco. craft beer has gone global. in sydney or london or singapore, our fans are not only choosing a great-tasting beer. but it's true to its origin. it's the real deal. it's san francisco's beer. in 1969 anchor began its sixth location at the bottom of potrero hill. today we see our development

exceeding production capacity. so we need a second brewery. and to stay true to the values we hold, we knew that second brewery would have to be in san francisco itself. we are still a small company. and knew that such an undertaking could be overwhelming for us. fortunately the support that we found from others was overwhelming too. everyone took on a can-do attitude. and i would like to extend my enormous gratitude to the ports and to the mayor's office for their help in getting us here today. and also to our friends the giants that value san francisco icons. these reflect the heart and soul of the city towards anchor. and for that i would like to thank all the people of san francisco for the huge
