rescheduled meeting on monday, february 25th, 2013 and forwarded to the board as a committee report. it's an ordinance amending the planning code to create the sen central subway tunnel boring machine extraction site special use district for the property located at 1731 through 17 41 powell street, also amending the sectional zoning map to reflect the central subway tunnel boring machine extraction site special use district. >> thank you very much. president chiu has asked me to come up here since this is my last board meeting. so, one last time. >> thank you, madam chair. colleagues, first of all, i want to thank the land use committee for their support of this item as well as for the many unanimous votes from this board of supervisors over the year -- over the years to move the central subway project forward. this is legislation to further the mta's effort which is supported by my office, the mayor's office and many merchants and residents of the north beach area to relocate the extraction of the central

subway's tunnel boring machine from the middle of columbus avenue to a less disruptive location on the private property of the so-called pagoda theater which has been a blighted graffitied property for almost two decades. where have we got? the reason we got here started in 2008 with the board of supervisors before i think any of us were on the board. in 2008 the board of supervisors at that time approved the plan to extract the tunnel boring machines in north beach in the middle of columbus avenue at union street. and an appeal of that e-i-r was unanimously rejected by that board. four years later the mta came back to the community and my office in the middle of last year with details around that plan that frankly were quite disruptive and my constituents and i opposed the plan that was brought to light last summer and we asked the mta to consider a number of different options. the option that we as a

community, many of us thought was the best way to move forward is what i have described as a real win/win/win for the community. it's an option that is far less disruptive to the community because it pulls out the tunnel boring machine at a private property as opposed into the middle of a very busy thoroughfare in the middle of north beach. it helps to move forward the demolition of the pagoda theater project which is something that many in the community have wanted for many, many years. and lastly, this option does leave the possibility in the future of an extension of the central subway project from the cal street station underground union square, underneath knob hill to chinatown, hopefully some day possibly to north beach and fisherman's wharf. this sud legislation is designed to ensure that the project that had been entitled on that site will allow the owner to continue to retain the existing entitlement rights after the two years the mta will use the site for the

extraction tunnel boring machine. so, with that colleagues, i'd like to ask for your support. >> thank you very much. any other comments? given that, can we take that same house same call? thank you, colleagues. >> colleagues, why don't we get roll call. >> first on roll call is supervisor cohen. >> thank you very much. i'm sorry, madam clerk. can you re-refer me? i seem to have misplaced my notes. >> no problem, supervisor cohen. supervisor farrell. >> thank you, madam clerk. colleagues, today i have introduced a number of hearings related to the budget and finance committee. we are going to convene the

five-person committee on march 6 and start our budget process. we're going to have budget updates from a number of the major departments as well as updates from the controller's office on their five-year financial plan. it plan and 10 year capital plan as well as our city's reserve and set aside policies. i think two ones of note that i'll just call out. one calling for a hearing on the draft plan due out from the mayor's budget office naming the it up gayedx for emergency personnel and public safety personnel. the technology that we deploy today is woefully inadequate and in dire need of replacement. as this board knows, we just switched from lotus notes it to microsoft office last year. and we have similarly woefully inadequate and long overdue tech upgrades in the public safety departments which affect us all as a community. this hearing is going to focus on solutions and call on our police, fire and sheriff's department to outline their tech needs.

san francisco's ultimately right now being built as the innovation capital and i think there is no excuse for our emergency personnel to be stuck back in the '90s. and secondly, having a specific hearing on our department of public health budget shortfall. this year we have an unanticipated budget shortfall in this current fiscal year we're in of $45.9 million and this is according to the controller's office six-month budget update report. there are a number of reasons for the shortfall, including changes to the medicaid program, health care reform, and staffing costs. and certainly a number of issue related to the san francisco general hospital. however, i think the main issue is it is not only going to happen this year, but this is going to be a chronic issue unless it's addressed. so, this hearing is going to call on dph to outline the reasons for this deficit and call them to present plans to start to address this shortfall. colleagues, i know this is going to be an ongoing item that's something that's really just been identified, but i

think something that we're going to need to address or else it is going to plague our future budgets in years to come here at the board. the rest i submit. >> thank you, supervisor farrell. supervisor kim. >> thank you. on today i'm introducing two hearing requests, both for the select committee of the board of supervisors and the board of education. the first is a follow-up on the ongoing conversation that our office has been engaging in with the mayor's office, the school district and coalition of community stakeholders on the public education enrichment fund which was passed by the voters on march 2004, proposition h. and just on an update on the spending plan and also how we can ensure proper appropriation that spending line item to the school district. second, i would also like to call a hearing and get an update from sfmta on the traffic calming program criterion funding and liedic to bring to to the joint select committee as well so our schools can offer input

particularly around implementing traffic calming programs for some of our more problematic areas where we cannot create the 15-mile per hour school zones such as bessie car michael and tenderloin school. last is hotel isabelle to make a necessary seismic upgrade to its building that will guarantee that its 72 units of affordable housing will remain safe and exist in perpetuity. hotel isabelle is one of our shelter plus providers and we're excited that oasis for girls one of our after school programs for young women in the south of market will also be moving into the ground floor of that building in may. finally, i would like to adjourn our board's meeting in the memory of cornelia godfrey who passed away in a fire that broke out in treasure island. i know many of you read about this heart breaking tragedy. she was known had her school,

john muir elementary in district 5 as a sweet and cheerful honor roll student who wanted to be a basketball player and constantly made her other classmates in the fourth grade classroom laugh with her humor and smile. she died in a fire that started about 12:30 a.m. in the treasure island bay homes apartment that she shared with her parents and her three other siblings at 1223 marina drive. san francisco firefighters responded immediately to the distressed call, but by the time they approached the house it was already engulfed in flames. in fact, two of our firefighters and one neighbor who i will be honoring later in the chamber today, went in as good samaritans to try and save this little girl. but were unable to when the second floor collapsed. 13 adults and 13 children were displaced by this fire, but we are very fortunate that the property is managed by community housing partnership

with on-site services from catholic chairsctiontion cyo who have done an amazing job in organizing the residents and the neighbors in bringing together community to support these families. i also want to acknowledge red cross for all of their work in finding hotels for these families, which they will continue to stay in through the end of the month as we work to rehab other units on treasure island that will be ready for these families on march 1st. if you are interested in fund-raising for these displaced families, many of them lost all of their furniture and belongings in this fire. please do contact our office so we can connect you to several events and campaigns that are ongoing. i cannot imagine the grief and sadness that encompasses this family and their treasure island community but i want to acknowledge how beautiful this community has been in coming together. and i just want to acknowledge that as we begin to heal and as we begin to heal. and the rest i submit.

>> thank you, supervisor kim. supervisor mar. >> thank you. colleagues, i have several items. first i wanted to acknowledge president chiu's asking of us to report on different regional bodies that we sit on. so, the golden gate bridge port, i serve on with great appreciation for the golden gate workers i worked on for a year and a half. i look forward to the leadership of supervisors breed, yee and wiener on the golden gate bridge board. a number of families brought to us at that board was one of the issues that we approved in concept and the 25 million more that's needed to build some barrier to acknowledge the dangers of the golden gate bridge is some of the unfinished business that will be before you. also, the all-electronic tolling that i know that supervisor chiu and others have been working it to educate our

community about. it's going to be starting in several weeks. * the human beings that have been the toll takers for years, the district is finding additional jobs and training for them, but it will be all electronic tolling by the end of -- or by early march. i think it's march 1st. also for the bay area government that i've been in alternate to, i am now kind of active on the administrative committee and the regional housing needs assessment appeals committee. so, there's a lot of work coming up for us. and implementing the sustainable community strategy and the one bay area grant and one bay area is really an important means to connect up housing, transportation and jobs needs as we promote equitable development, not just in san francisco, but regionally as well. and another issue that's before abag and the bay area air quality management district or the air board supervisor avalos and i sit on is a new building we'll all be relocating to.

it's the air board, the mtc that supervisors wiener and campos sit on, but also bcdc, the conservation entity and others will be relocating together to 390 main over the next couple of years. but that's the important project that relocates the building from oakland to san francisco. but i just wanted to say that it's been a pleasure to serve on these regional bodies and i look forward to supporting my colleagues that have just joined other regional bodies. also, i have a resolution that i'm introducing today that will help increase pedestrian safety along 19th avenue and i'm proud that supervisor norman yee who championed pedestrian safety is joining me in introducing this resolution. it's to support the passage of senate bill 2 19in the california state legislature, san francisco streets, as many of us know, * need to be a safe place for everyone and the city's goals are well known that we're trying to reduce serious pedestrian accidents by

25% by the year 2016 and by 50% by the year 2021. but we have a long way to go and major thoroughfares that drivers treat like expressways, you all know many of those streets from masonic to 19th avenue. but they still pose a major threat to pedestrians every day. and some of the most dangerous streets are those which also serve as state highways. in the richmond district, for example, park presidio boulevard along with 19th avenue and the sunset makeup highway 1 where 11 killings -- 11 pedestrian deaths occurred from 2003 to '07. and along venice avenue as part of highway 101 for more deaths occurred in that period. senate bill 2 19 sponsored by leland yee extends the double fine zones that were established in 2008 to make them permanent. and since the establishment of the double fine zone, deadly accidents have dropped by about

75% along these busy routes. this bill is also supported by the california alliance of retired americans because they, seniors and people with disabilities know that this will help protect seniors and their families. there is so much more work we can do in san francisco, but the board of supervisors i believe should voice its strong support for important legislation like this to support pedestrian safety. also, especially given supervisor kim's comments about the tragic death of a child and the families in treasure island, i'm working also on a number of richmond district fires and i know that others from other supervisors have fires in their district. but i'm calling for a hearing on our city's responsiveness to the needs of fire victims after displacing residential fires. every year san francisco suffers multiple fires that destroy property and result in the displacement of dozens of individuals and families. in december last year we had

three separate fires in three different districts that resulted in over 60 people being displaced. and this year already we've had fires in the richmond, the tenderloin, and the haight neighborhoods as well. and in some cases displaced renters have to wait many months for their units to be repaired so they can return to their homes. and our current city's response consists of relying on the american red cross to provide immediate relief in the form of temporary shelter, clothing, food vouchers and hotel vouchers. in our department of human services or dhs works with the red cross to coordinate assistance efforts with neighborhood agencies and attempts to identify longer term housing. but unfortunately the red cross like many nonprofits really doesn't have the resources and needs more. but they issue hotel vouchers for only three days and then they turn to the hsa for hotel extension. and this is a very expensive for our city and the red cross and they're looking at asking

the hsa to take a larger role in the recovery process. and after hotel vouchers run out, hsa faces another.ctioning challenge of finding landlords, property owners who are willing to rent apartments for short term stay at the low market rate rent rates. * in most cases it proves to be an impossible task in san francisco and fire victims unfortunately are forced to relocate out of the city especially for low-income people and it's a further trauma for many people and families who are already facing the loss of their possessions or injury to themselves or loved ones. and i know firsthand from my home fire from the year 2000 what it feels like to be homeless for a period of time. the purpose of this hearing is also to see how we can find or create temporary housing for fire victims within our city borders and also incentivize landlords to repair damaged units in a more timely manner. i'm also really curious to learn how well our city responds to the needs of fire victims who are english learners or from immigrant

communities and how our language access policies are being implemented in the city. so, this is an issue that impacts not only the richmond, but many other neighborhoods as well. lastly, i have an important announcement. i'll be holding an important bilingual town hall to support our small businesses in the richmond district. we've been actively working with the mayor's office, office of small business and office of economic and work force development on promoting awareness within our small business sector of a-d-a or accessibility lawsuits. some call them drive by lawsuits in our neighborhood. and this is part of a pilot project in the city that supports chinatown, the sunset and now the richmond district as well. many of these lawsuits really target immigrants and nonspeaking -- non-english speaking merchants. so, this forum will be bilingual and chinese and english. it will be saturday, march 2nd from 2:00 to 4:00 p.m. at the richmond branch library. i wanted to thank the osv of economic and work force development, the mayor's office on disability, and one of our

community partners, northeast community federal credit union and really low and asian neighborhood design that provides a lot of support to our smaller businesses. it is an important town hall that will support our small businesses and our city's effort called invest in neighborhoods that is supporting small businesses that are challenged with these types of a-d-a lawsuits. and i'll also be walking with mayor ed lee down geary boulevard on thursday at 12:30 to raise awareness of the invest in neighborhoods program that's helping not only geary boulevard, but balboa and clement and merchant corridors in my district. and coming up in a few moments we're going to honor the history of grassroots community organizing and talk a little bit about the history of fred roth and his legacy in supporting not only the farm workers movement, but making our constitution a reality for many of the most vulnerable in our communities, but especially

championing community organizing. and we have on the imperative agenda today and also a 3:30 combination, a number of neighborhood activists and researchers who have been fighting childhood obesity. we'll be celebrating the 40th anniversary of health policy institute philip r. lee institute and i'll be honoring them during our commendation period in a few moments as well. the rest i'll submit. thank you. >> thank you, supervisor mar. supervisor wiener. >> thank you, madam clerk. colleagues, today i'm introducing legislation that will improve access to live music and night life in san francisco while strengthening the enforcement powers of the entertainment commission to ensure compliance with city ordinances and to make sure that we have safe and responsible entertainment in save. -- san francisco. a safe and thriving

entertainment industry is essential to the economic vibrance in our city. bring out residents from their homes, visitors from around the world and all sorts of people to come together as a community in our city. this industry is not just a cultural lifeblood of our city, but a great contributor to our economy. one of my first acts as a member of the board of supervisors was to request an economic impact report by the city economist to study the effects of entertainment and night life on our economy. when he released last year, that report revealed the entertainment industry, the night life industry generates $4.2 billion in economic activity in san francisco, provides 48,000 jobs in our city, and furnishes the city with $55 a million in tax revenue. and this study did not even include street fares and festivals like outside lands and folsom street fair. so, the actual
