and i will ask cynthia to share about the outreach. >> good morning. the grant that we are considering today would primarily -- the funds would primarily focus on district 10 and recruiting certified used motor oil collection centers and increase recycling and grass root outreach to the do it yourselfers and those mechanics so we would like to recruit additional sites and have public events in district district 7, 10 and 11 and in those areas and we do plan to in fact a campaign to promote a decreased oil change frequency by busting the 3,000-mile myth through grass-roots outreach and we also
7:31 am
want to work with motorcyclists on their changing and recycling and also on the waterfront we plan to focus on san francisco marina yacht harbor reaching out to the boaters through the program and the abandoned oil left at the waterfront and educate the voters on the famous free home collection. they have access to that program and we will continue to increase our partnerships with neighboring counties that also receive this grant and i am here to answer any questions if you have any. >> supervisor avalos. >> just one question that is about the 3,000-mile myth. could you elaborate please? i have an idea. >> well, the state who grants the funds does a lot of research and they are s have come up
7:32 am
with a campaign. they don't call it the 3,000-mile myth and that might be offensive to grandfathers who taught you when and how to change the number but it's to educate the population you might not need to change your motor oil as often as you think so some don't necessarily read the owner's manual. some do but it will indicate the frequency of the oil change. primarily for autos manufactured after the year 2000. 5,000, 7,000, 10,000, and 15,000 miles and it's saves time and helps the environment. >> is there a list of places that is readily available where people can actually get their oil recycled. >> 33 centers in san francisco

7:35 am
and expressing deep roots and bringing diversity to san francisco. this new location is in the heart of district five and particular concern for us because it's a location over on pave street for a number of years now has been a blight on the neighborhood. the san francisco unified school district has granted the ownership of the building to french american international school and we believe this is an opportunity for french american international school to move forward with the community and continue to grow in san francisco. part of what we discuss on numerous occasions with french american international school is this blossoming partnership. this is part of their mou, their memorandum of understanding, which is calling for community use of the facility and access and affordability and traffic and calming measures in the
7:36 am
neighborhood. first and foremost of importance to supervisor breed as community use for the facility. we hope to see this as a model based on the urban school close to this location. this will -- they have been a great success and a model and i know that the administrative staff over at french american has been speaking and working with the urban school to implement some of their same models so we really see this as a great boone for our district and also a chance to create a system more accessible to low income residents and students in the district five, so with that supervisor breed hopes for your approval of this resolution and the tax-exempt obligation ordinance of 6.5 million dollars. >> thank you very much. any questions? >> we have anthony from the
7:37 am
department of public finance. >> good morning members of the committee. i the item before you for the tax code of the tax financing obligations for the school as supervisor breed's representative has described. our office held duly noticed hearing to receive public comment and none was received, and there is no fiscal impact to the city and the city is not a party to the transaction, so the item -- the resolution approves for purpose of the tax code the public hearing and the facilitation of the finances on that basis. >> okay. perfect. any other questions? i know that we have some people i believe from the french american school here. you're welcome to speak if you want. i don't think we have any questions per se but you're welcome to take the
7:38 am
opportunity. >> thank you. my name is aaron lef veen and the chief officer at the french american school. i want to thank you for the resolution and we will make proves to a vacant and unused property and believe it will be improvements. >> i am here from the school and hoping that you support the resolution. >> thank you very much. seeing no further questions. we don't have a budget analyst report for item three either so at this time we will open it up for public comment. if there are members of the public that wish to comment please step forward. mr. paulson. >> thank you budget and
7:39 am
finance. we shall my budget bill we are things that need school as well. i love you. i love your budget. we need you. i guess you know by now we will get to you some budget how. until that time we will be doing swell budget bell. i see when your budget when the coal wind blows and the sweet songs about the city dough. have you seen the budget? tell me have you seen it? have you seen the budget? tell me have you seen it? why oh why does the budget leave and go away? oh i have been used to having budget to lean on and we need some at this budget home at the city hall dome. you have seen the budget money? and we
7:40 am
surely need it for the school now, and the budget needs it. >> thank you mr. paulson. anybody else wish to comment on item three? seeing none public comment is closed. can we have a motion to move this forward with recommendation. >> so moved. >> we can do so out opposition. mr. clerk will you please call item four. >> item four ordinance authorizing the payment of $250,000 to doe one for supplying information leading to the arrest and conviction of the perpetrator that murdered willie allen. >> okay. thank you. and we have our mayor's damage . >-- budget director. >> good afternoon. the item is for authorization to doe one for providing information leading to the prosecution ultimately guilty plea of the perpetrator
7:41 am
of the murder of willie allen. in 2006 mr. allen was murdered. as of 2008 his murderer was still unknown. at that time in 2008 mayor newsom approved awards up to $250,000 for this case and along with additional 15 murder cases. the police department and the da both affirm that the individual who we're requesting receive this award came forward recently and provided information for the arrest of the suspect responsible for the murder and testified in the prosecution in the case and lead to the suspect's ultimate plea and we are supporting this award by the da office. generally of awards of this type the administrative code allows the mayor to authorize the award up to
7:42 am
$100,000 and most cases by the mayor and notified to the public and this is a large award. in order to do an an award greater than $100,000 and confirm the payment to the individual and why it's before you today. there is no general fund impact to making the award and it will be paid through the police department through their existing budget. i am happy to answer any questions that you have. >> thank you. any questions? >> i have a question. do you know how many awards for other cases are out right now and we are expecting more payments like this in the future? >> at this level there are 15 other cases that mayor newsom
7:43 am
authorized in 2008, so that's the sort of maximum potential impact. you know this case -- this murder happened in 2006. the reward was authorized in 2008. this is the only one where the reward is being requested by any individual. >> and then the money comes out of the police department's budget and it seems like it's -- is there -- do we a lot money each budget cycle for up to the 15 or now 14 cases that this might lead to more payments? i am just wondering. >> it's an excellent question supervisor. the police department's budget has a line item in it for claims and judgments which is where this reward is paid from and it's a place where other claims, judgments and rewards have been paid in the past. we do not
7:44 am
budget the full amount of the rewards that are outstanding. those are handled on a case by case basis. we make an assessment of what the potential risk and budget accordingly. >> and is there a time where the rewards sunset or do they go on forever if somebody comes forward 20 or 50 years from now? >> also a very good question. the way i understand it is that rewards -- on -- once offered if there is no sunset date they go on forever. >> thank you. >> any other questions? thank you ms. howard. appreciate it. again no budget analyst report so we will open it up for public comment. mr. paulson. >> we're reaching out with an award in search of you. we're
7:45 am
going to search until the day is through, oh, oh, oh. don't be so bad. don't be so mean and the budget reward is not very lean. we're going to search for you. we're reaching out. we're in search for you. i always see like somebody's watching me, and i have a reward on you. i always feel like somebody's following me, and when will we see you again? when will we find and get a reward? will we have to wait forever? and we will search and search forever. when will we see you again? >> thank you. any other members of the public wish to comment
7:46 am
on item four? seeing none public comment is closed. colleagues can we move that with recommendation. mr. clerk please call item five. >> item five authorizing the international terminal and terminal 3 newsstands cafe lease for host international, inc. for city and county of san francisco and a 10 year term with minimum guarantee of $733,176. >> thank you and we have kathy whiner here from the san francisco airport. >> good morning chair farrell members of the committee. kathy wagner with the san francisco airport. we are looking for a new 10 year lease for host international, inc. for three news stands and one cafe locations. they total space is
7:47 am
listed and three of the four proposed retail locations are located in the international terminal and they are currently operational. the fourth space is in terminal three and not available to the tenant until construction in that terminal is complete. we anticipate that work to be done in january of 2014. although the tenant will have access to their space a couple months prior to that. the 10 year lease term will commence once that final space is available to the tenant to do business. the proposed lease is the result of a competitive process with four proposals being submitted and host receiving the highest points of those that responded to the rfp. until that fourth location is operational host will pay the airport a prorated mag amount for rent . the full mag rent of $733,000 is in place once
7:48 am

7:49 am
the airport's lease? all right. seeing none we will open up to public comment. mr. paulson. >> did you pay your city dues? did you read the news when the paper landed in your front yard? city i'll be there to shake your hand and i will be there to share all of the airport land when you approve this item. shake your city hand and share the airport land. shake your hand and share the airport land. >> thank you mr. paulson. any other members of the public wish to comment on item five? seeing none public comment is closed. colleagues can we move this forward with recommendation. >> yes. >> and without opposition. mr. clerk do we have any other

7:51 am
and we deal with other animals like birds and rabbits and you name it. this is more to see in this facility and more to see in the community. and i suggest you go with an animal control person and see what they co, whether rescuing animals in distress or hit by a car or dealing with aggressive animals or wildlife or a variety of things. you can only get that flavor with them and doing it first hand. >> i have been with animal control for about six years, i spent a year in the kennel and then the office came up and i started doing it and it really fit. it's really the job for me. and animals i have to handle and i know what i am doing, i rarely get scared.
7:52 am
[whistle]. we do a lot of investigations and most are not as bad as people report but everyone once in a while they are. and i had one and people had moved out and the dog was in the inside and it makes me teary and when the dog is in the backyard, and i can pull an animal out of a horrible environment and feel good. >> where does this animal go after this? >> they go for the shots and then the kennel. >> and if they just found this, and once we enter everything in the computer and they can track
7:53 am
to find out if the dog went back home. we hold them for five days. >> this is a stray dog and it came in today and we immobilize it and then put it in a room with food and water. >> and then evaluate for medical behavior and see if anyone is interested in adopting then. >> we want to be sure that their behavior is good for the average adopter and not aggression problem, toward people or animals. >> and if they growl and don't bite the hand, she passes that. and good girl, in case she has something in her mouth, we get it out. and one more test, called the
7:54 am
startle test and it startled hear but she came to me. and passed the handling test. >> for the mental exam i feel for lumps and bumps. and the ears and see if they are infected and look at the eyes and be sure they are clear and don't have cataracts and look at their teeth and heart. this is the first job that i feel i make a dvrngs. -- difference. and we may do 40 to 80 animals a day for treatments. and do blood work and skin scrapings and cultures to diagnose different diseases. and x-rays, i can take an animal that would be
7:55 am
euthanized at a different shelter and fix it and get it ready for a home. >> we have a partnership and we let a professional groomer run a private business from our facility and in turn grooms our shelter animals. what is the big deal of that? when someone comes to adopt an animal, if it looks good, chances are it will be adopted more. >> and we groom and clean the ears and the works. >> typically a shelter wouldn't have grooming? >> not at all. and these dogs are treated with the utmot -- utmost care that others can't provide. this is a shampoo to bring out
7:56 am
the luster. and i feel satisfied in helping the shelter pets be adopted and to be a part of such a wonderful staff, from the top all the way down. if she passes our evaluation, she will stay until she's adopted. if you are interested in adoption and don't want to put them to sleep, that means at a last resort, we will give you a call before putting to sleep. you are not bound to the dog, and we would give you a call, and it's an actual adoption and cost $107 and it will be your dog. >> the volunteers to meet are the unsung heroes in this field that take the animals to
7:57 am
hope and nurse them to get strong enough to come down and rehome. without volunteers, i would have to be honest to say this wouldn't be much more than a pound. we thank god that we have the number of committed people coming down and helping us out, it makes all the difference in the world. >> when you want to come in and volunteer, you go through a general orientation, about two hours. there is a lot of flexibility. and the various programs available, are baseline dog walking. you can work with the cats. you can work with tony's kitty rescue, with the small animals and guinea pigs and birds and chickens. >> you always have an appreciative audience. >> do you feel that what you have learned here helped you
7:58 am
with your own dogs? >> the training they don't have? yes. and it's things that you learn, we usually outlive our dogs and every time you get a new one, you have skills to teach them. >> one of the programs is training program and it's staffed by a member of the community and one of the programs she has is dog socialization. >> we started this program for canine socialization. and all the dogs available for adoption get to play for two hours. and it's a time for them to get incredible exercise and play with other dogs and we have remedial socialization. and it's incredible the dogs
7:59 am
and they get exercise and run and tumble and when most adopters come to look in the afternoon, they are quiet and settled. >> and i want come and someone sees a dog and loves it, it's quick. and after three weekends, i saw him and he connected and i connected and came back. >> what is your experience of working with the animals? >> unbelievable. from the guy that is came to the house and everyone here, they are friendly and knowledge believe and -- knowledgeable and they care about the animals. >> and it's a great place to visit and look at the
