no risk of deposing of that without risk jail and a fine. it also makes no exceptions for someone traveling through san francisco from day-to-day would force to the east bay and san raphael in order to be able to not risk jail and/or fine. in terms of the reporting of sales of 500 rounds of ammunition, i would like to thank the authors for a proposed change which make it clear that the recordkeeping requirements would apply only to vendors that have a physical presence in san francisco. however, i'm curious as to how san francisco would have the authority to regulate interstate commerce by requires outside vendors to report to the chief of police. i'm concerned that the chief of police believes that the

purchase of 500 rounds by anyone raises a flag to law enforcement. it's not uncommon to go through several hundred of rounds when you go to the range and it's also -- than it is to buy 50 round at a time. i would hope that the chief would be more concerned purchase by prohibited person than an arbitrary rounds by anyone. i fail to see what added benefit there is since vendors already require to maintain records of all sales. i don't see the added benefit. >> thank you, mr. green. next speaker please. >> good morning, supervisors. my name is don did you dutel.

i have a question on this law. has there been a demonstration from the previous legislation that has helped law enforcement by the district attorney where we have people caught with firearms or even using firearms in the city and if this legislation can demonstration where it's filling some holes or something like that where people are getting off i believe all citizens would like to use that. i do have firearms. a definition that does affect sports man. it's very difficult to have components shipped to san francisco. there are many vendors that do not send ammunition to the san francisco area. 500 rounds is not an excessive amount of ammunition if shut shoot at a range.

supervisor yee spoke last month and said he would like to have people work with him and i would like to offer my services that we do go after the misuse of firearms. again, thank you. >> thank you very much, sir. is there any other member who like to speak on this item. please come forward. >> i did submit a card. i'm the director of district wide improvement organization that addresses land use and public safety concerns. our public safety chair has looked at the legislation and is in support

of it. i want to point out that district 6 has seen a lot of homicides in a year and we have been impacted by gun violence and anything that can be done to deter additional gun violence in our community is also a welcome. i applaud this legislation, we do, the organizations. >> thank you, next speaker please. >> if you would like to speak, please lineup. >> i have lived in san francisco for 61 years. i think the police chief would rather have more help in a different way. i would like to make a useful suggestion which most people oppose. i would suggest that any use especially illegal

use of firearms be a mandatory federal offense. i will also a mandatory jail time. the reason why i say that is because some of us have looked at the example of chicago as one of the most strict gun control laws. everybody knows how many homicides go on there. even the youngest children are victims. unfortunately innocent victims but yet many areas do not make it a mandatory federal offense and they also don't make it mandatory jail time. i think we did that rather than serve a bunch of papers to keep track of, i think that would help what we are trying to accomplish here. i think what we should do is look at areas around the country that don't have gun violence. because if i

were a criticism and i was considering robbing anyone, if i somehow thought that the other person had a gun somewhere in the house, i think i would think twice before i tried to rob anybody. even if you have a diligent dog, i can still shoot the dog. but if i had any sense that someone was carrying a legal, legal gun under his jacket, i would think twice before i would try to commit any crime and if i were a criminal and i knew that it was a mandatory federal offense and mandatory jail time, i would think twice before pulling a gun even a fake gun. i think that's the kind of help the police need rather than just papers and fancy words. i say if you want to help the police, make it mandatory jail time and

mandatory federal offense. we'll see how many people end up in jail and in regards to people that complain that there aren't enough jails, i'm very familiar with different jails around the country that are begging for more inmates. they maybe jails run by type of corporations but i know of one jail that is literally empty looking for business. so i would say, why don't we ship all the people there. thank you. >> thank you, is there any other member of the public who would like to speak? see none. public comment is closed. supervisor you want to add anything. >> thank you. i just wanted to speak to one or two points raised in public comment. to the gentleman that used the scenario to cleaning out your father's attic and you come up with any piece of ammunition.

just to let you know the police department is ready and able to take that off your hands. they can receive ammunition as well as firearms. also want to remind people that we are not banning anything. i think supervisor phrased it well, i think it's a very healthy compromise here to not banning the sale of firearms or restrict the sale of ammunition, merely when it's coming in via mail or if you are purchasing that the vendor must report this to the police department. and that's all i wanted to speak on. i don't know if the mayor's office wanted to add anything. >> thank you, supervisor cohen. this is an issue that i have been working on for a number of years. a number of years when i

started working for the city as the city attorney is because we filed a lawsuit on the gun industry because of some of the practices. i want to thank you on the point that on the issue of the data base, anyone familiar with the police department, the police department will do as good a job to maintain the information and accurate as possible. i think the point was made that when you focus on non-prohibited person's being able to not purchase ammunition . the reality is that we have a system that is broken nationwide and that in fact some of the horrible incidents that have occurred involve people that legally have the right to purchase and so that's why i think it's really

important for us as san francisco to take this very responsible and balanced approach. the last thing i would say if you are using these kinds of weapons for sporting purposes and you are buying 500 rounds of ammunition, then, you should not be afraid of the chief of police knowing that in fact you are purchasing. i still don't understand why someone would need to buy more than five 500 rounds, it's not illegal. the fact that police are aware of it should not be a problem. we have two items before us. if we can get a motion. can i just ask a quick question? we received a number of e-mails and correspond ens and some angry calls. i do want to ask the question of captain oh

larry, one person is questioning that hollow bullet points is necessary to self defense situation. he's saying self defense to these types of bullets is important and another person claims unfairly penalizes like herself in the district. can you respond to those? >> in regards to the first comment i would respond that it's not the bullet where you place it. it's that assist in your defense and the second part, i do understand that a person has sporting interest that would call for the use of more than 500 rounds and i think that is something that this board should take into consideration when they are arguing it. it's possible that given the fact that there are

very few target ranges in san francisco >> is the specific rod and gun club is that the only one? >> there is a police range and other police ranges that other agencies have in san francisco but i think you are right in saying that. i think the best answer that somebody interested in more than 500 rounds could make the purchase at the range that they are going to use the rounds. >> thank you. supervisor cohen. >> thank you, i would like to make a motion that we move these two items forward with a second. >> second. >> we have a motion. if we can take that without objection. thank you very much. thank you to supervisor cohen.

>> madam clerk, thank you to the public members to speak on this item. can we have item no. 3. >> to item no. 3. federal grant in the amount of $790,000 for safety improvement project. >> great. thank you. item 3 is an item that has been introduced by supervisor yee. >> thank you. i have made a pedestrian safety issue. i'm proud to be sponsoring this resolution of district 7. this grant will provide and enhance pedestrian crossing at three of

the most hazardous sneksz of intersections of slope blvd off the highway 45 system. the intersections with everglades drive, forest view drive and 23rd avenue. together with the must be that transportation authority will be considering at the march 19th plans and program committee. totals $927327,000 this will serve to help curve ramps at everglades and install overhead flash

beacon. these intersections alone are responsible for 20 percent of the collisions over the last five years. thank you. >> thank you supervisor. is there anyone from the department of public works? >> good morning. amanda hesh, i'm with b dvment p w. all of my talking have been covered. we'd be happy to answer any questions. >> thank you for being here. supervisors any questions. why don't wet we open to any members of the public. i don't have any speaker cards but you are free to come up. >> good morning. i would like to take this opportunity to

thank supervisor yee for this very good idea. i travel on slope everyday and my car gets a big work out from all the pot holes. in regards to pedestrian safety when you cross slope blvd it's very easy to step in one of the crack and broken areas in the pavement. i think that also has to be addressed in addition to the changes already made for this resolution. now, another thing is that along slope blvd, they had reduced the number of lanes in order to accomodation bicycles. i thought it was kind of interesting that they repaved the bicycle lane, but did hardly any improvement for the traffic lanes and the pedestrians have to cross those areas as they normally j walk

across that anyway, i think it need to be addressed as a safety concern. i think it was a mistake painting over the bike lane and not improving stretches along slope. another thing is i was wondering if they had considered taking down more trees because some of them had been mentioned possible hazards in the future. since we are talking about pedestrian safety when we have the concert, i think we should already consider check to go see whether rec's and parks have diligently taken care of those possible hazards. like you said anybody that dies is going to sue the city. so needless to say, we need the money for other reasons. thank you. >> thank you, before we

continue with public comment i know we have a number of folks that have come into the hearing room and we welcome a lot of young people who are here. i would ask folks for purposes of fire safety if you can please take seats. we want to avoid people standing around the entry points, but we are very happy and proud to see so many young people attending this committee. we didn't know that we were so popular. it's good to see you in city hall. is there any other member who would like to speak? seeing none, the topic is close. >> i had a question, my brother lives close to this area, to miss hirsch who gave us her presentation. the area from

lake shore plaza to before 23rd avenue, i'm wondering why that area was chosen. i did notice the bike lanes. it's an $800,000 grant. i have curiosity about why this stretch was chosen and how it enhances the i am improvements that have been in the pass like the bike lane. >> certainly, these scene scene intersections were chosen largely because of the need as well as the fit with the funding source. these highway safety improvement grants require a very stated driven cost analysis and to the kinds of accidents happened and kind of treatments and the kind of values determined to reduce accidents and that's how we

selected these intersectioned. they do have a repaving project insulated for 2014. we are working to minimize disruption to that area. >> thank you. very much. >> supervisor yee. >> yes. i want to alert the public and thank you for being concerned about pedestrian safety. we are going to have a meeting some time in march and i welcome people to come and to express and articulate their particular concerns and that we can get a robust discussion on what our priorities should be and how we would approach on solving some of these issues. thank you very much. >> thank you supervisor. so colleagues if we can have a motion to moving this item

forward. motion by supervisor mark. if we can take that without objection we can move that forward. >> madam, please call item no. 4. >> item no. 4 to consider the issuance of a type 42 of sell beer and wine. 1425 folsom street. >> this is a matter requesting the issuance of license for selling beer. can we hear from the applicant? >> good morning, board. thank you for your time once again. my name is jordan lewis i'm one of the owners from the art gallery. i'm a recently returned veteran from the navy seals. also have someone who

also served in the navy seals. this is for digitally displayed artwork and can offer changing dynamic experience with the emerging field of artwork. we also plan to invite neighborhood to beverage selection to coffee, tea and juice and as well as beer and wine and snacks. we have been in contact with the office of our district supervisor through her office and they have been very supportive and helpful. we've also been in contact with the police department speaking with captain red man. a little bit more on our outreach. >> supervisors, members of the public. my name is case lewis. i'm jordan's brother, business

partner and attorney and i would like to speak on the outreach we are doing. throughout the last year we've been reaching out to local businesses and residents in the neighborhood. we have circulated a patient we have here today with 52 signatures on it. also, we received 9 letters of support from local business owners, law enforcement and residents in our surrounding community. i'm not sure if you have copies of all those yet, but we have copies here if you would like to see them. about a week ago at the last meeting of the alliance for better district 6 we presented our project to the community there and the members and discussed different things we can do with them and our project. we've also joined theal alliance for better

district 6 and the market associations as a member to get more involved in the business community and associations of the district 6. as my brother mentioned we met with sony arg low staff member to discuss our project and we received a positive response. >> thank you, anything else, sir? if you can identify yourself too. >> my name is jean make. also one of the business partners. former veteran. i would like to get this petition signed. everyone is very excited and envision of as a positive force into the the community to bring more culturally and commercially. i just want to say thank you for your

consideration. >> great. thank you very much. this is an item that came before the committee before and we continued to give it the parties an opportunity to do outreach to the district supervisor and to the community and appreciate those efforts. thank you for doing that. so why don't we open it up to public comment. i have two speaker cards but any member of the public who would like to speak on item 4 please come up. hi. my name is michael nolt e, from district 6 organizations use and land and public policy. at our last meeting we heard from the applicant about their project

and we are welcome to have them attend and discuss in detail about what the project is about. the members were very supportive of it and we are encouraging to hear that a new business will be opening up in the south market area and we look forward to seeing that happen. and we also would encourage his business and of course to continue reaching out to the neighbors because that's just what they should be doing anyway. so i think again it's our organization is always in supportive of a new business even though it takes a lot of resources and time to get something off the ground. so again, clerk can say we are in favor. >> thank you, mr. nolt. next

speaker. >> good morning supervisors. i have a chance to meet the owners a couple of them at least at the last alliance better district 6 meeting. i think it would be good for that area because that area is a corridor anyway i think for cocktails and art and stuff like that. so i wish you would pass it on to the board. >> thank you, next speaker. >> supervisors my name is duffy. i'm also for better district 6. i'm in no way in leadership to that. i would like you to keep in mind this proposal that you just heard. >> thank you, is there any member of the public who would like to speak on this item? seeing none, public comment is

close. i would like to thank you for bring this conversation forward and glad that we are talking about veterans that are starting this business. i think it's great to see that. you are going into a very special neighborhood. it's a great place in san francisco. and we give a lot of deferens to the supervisor and the community and they are supportive. so we wish you the best and hope that you continue to be engaged in that community. supervisor mark. >> i would like to this you for reaching out so quickly to sony and the office and the range of the people on the petition is a range of people as well and i can't wait to see what it going to be. i'm glad you built some support already and keep reaching out and building the residents there. thank you for the short amount of time. >> colleagues can we have a
