different amount. i'm comfortable of supporting the acceptance of the gift. everything is out on the public domain and people can have whatever opinion they want to have about that. and given that, it would be one thing if you came in and said you haven't filed anything and you said i don't know that i'm required to then i wouldn't feel comfortable with moving forward but you have sought council and found the form 803 is an appropriate inform. to file. >> i know i said this earlier. it's really important to look at what we are talking about here. we are talking about furniture that has been don't donated to the city, we are talking about furniture being used for city businesses and

talking about furniture that will stay there forever until it becomes unusable. there is noing about this gift that has a personal gift. this furniture is not going to my home. other than inside the city, the district attorneys office for city business. quite frankly i'm somewhat disappointed at some level of the discussion. i really appreciate your support. >> actually i'm very disappointed. you are responsible for enforcing the law. we have the law that is stated we have to file an 801. that is a local law. it's been requested of me to feel comfortable for approving this. i feel this is a great stubbornness about this unless there is some kind of threat, i

don't understand why you wouldn't want to do that. >> supervisor, the d. a.'s office the f pcc stated it was an inappropriate form because we made a specific request for the offices and we designated where it would be located. it's an inappropriate form and i respect their opinion and the analysis of this situation. the attorney we used in this matter 801 and 803 are state regulations. that agency has said it's not an appropriate form. 803 is the appropriate form. we filed that and that contains all the information. we have addressed the concerns that you are raising about filing the appropriate forms. the state and with the city and we've done that. >> thank you for the explanation. i expected it. mr. gibner, could you state one last question i have that

whether our local laws about requiring filing around 801 whether that requirement should be followed? >> just to be clear, they are both derived from the political reform act. her to both state requirements even though the 803 is filed locally. they are both state riements requirements. this is based on the language that would require them and the f pcc on an analogues situation. we advise -- our local officials with the state laws past written advice. in terms of mr. berry's, again, i haven't spoep with the fpcc.

the rule regarding filing an 801, if an individual receives the benefit and it requires someone other than the individual receiving a benefit mates the decision about who benefits from the gift, i understand the resolution that's been introduced for the boards consideration of the cfo of district attorney's office has discretion where the furniture will be placed. >> supervisor breed. >> okay. just for clarity's sake, you are saying that, are you saying that you would advisor legally that an 801 and

803 should be completed? >> my offices advice in a situation like this, is based on the legal requirement. the question that i think the committee is discussing here today is whether the furniture, this is a personal benefit on behalf of the district attorney and it's clear from this discussion different people could reach different conclusions about that. based on the fpcc past advice in other situations we would advise city officials in this situation to file the form 801 because our reading of the political reform act is that 801 is required. >> so you are suggesting that the information that is being

provided by the district attorney's office is not accurate? >> absolutely not. i have not had conversation with the fpcc about the complaint that was filed. i can only tell you what our advice it's to officials in these circumstances. >> so the information on 801 and 803 are pretty much the same thing >> they serve different purposes. they both disclose that a gift was received. 803 disclose that an elected official benefited from it. here the district attorney has filed the 803 that he solicited the gift. he didn't file the

801 that he personally benefited from the gift and the office determined that it would be used for the executive office. >> okay. >> any other questions. from my perspective, i think that i associate myself a lot with wiener's comments and i appreciate it as seems to be different opinions about the forms that need to be filed. we mentioned all the information is out there. i believe they filed for a different purpose. i don't think there is any questioning about the information being out there in a public domain. i think that at the end of the day, these are state mandated filings and if you ask the state agency and they recommend one and not the other, that seems to me a very reasonable course to follow.

so, and again, this is accepting a gift from a city perspective i will be comfortable moving this forward. one thing i would suggest perhaps before the full board what would be hopeful to get the fpc krshs put it in writing so we don't have a full debate on the board to get the fpcc's advice. i don't think there will be much debate. >> i will talk to my attorney and try get that. >> anymore comments, questions. i have to get a roll call. clerk? we have public comment? >> is there any additional public comment? seeing none, public comment is closed. >> can a roll call vote. on the motion supervisormar, no, supervisor avalos? no,

supervisor breed aye, supervisor wiener aye, ferrel, aye, the motion passes. >> okay. thank you very much. item no. 9 passes. could i have to motion to rescind item no. 8. he was absent when we made the motion. could we have a motion on item no. 8 to move that forward with recommendation and we do that without full opposition from the committee. >> mr. clerk, do we have any other items? >> that completes the agenda. >> then we are adjourned.

>> >> i tried to think about this room as the dream room, where we dream and bring some of those dreams to life. i feel very blessed that i have been able to spend the last 31 years of my life doing it my way, thinking about things better interesting to me, and then pursuing them. there are a lot of different artists that come here to work, mostly doing aerial work. kindred spirits, so to speak. there is a circus company that i have been fortunate enough to work with the last couple of

years. i use elements of dance and choreography and combine that with theater techniques. a lot of the work is content- based, has a strong narrative. the dancers have more of a theatrical feel. i think we are best known for our specific work. in the last 15 years, spending a lot of time focusing on issues that affect us and are related to the african-american experience, here in the united states. i had heard of marcus shelby and had been in join his work but never had the opportunity to meet him. we were brought together by the equal justice society specifically for this project. we were charged with beginning work.

marquez and i spent a lot of time addressing our own position on the death penalty, our experiences with people who had been incarcerated, family members, friends of friends. pulling our information. beyond that, we did our own research. to create a picture that resonated with humanity. it is the shape of a house. in this context, it is also small and acts like a cell. i thought that was an interesting play on how these people make these adjustments, half to create home. what is home for these people? the home is their cell.

people talk a lot about noise -- very noisy in prisons. that is interesting to me. looking at the communication level, the rise of frustration of being caged, wondering, where does redemption fit into the equation here? [singing] i think both of us really believe the death penalty is wrong, and is flawed for many reasons. the list is as long as my arm -- about several others.

we feel this is important for both of us, personally, to participate in the debate of this issue in a way that we can help people frame it for a conversation. well, i'm daniel leery. the chair of the super bowl committee. we've been going at this for about 9 months now and mayor lee gave me the honor and privilege of taking on this

task. we've had an incredible momentum and we have mayor and condoleeza rice and steve lewis, we have some firepower to the committee in the form of world champions and hall of famer and folks that have taken over part of 10 percent of super bowls and we can't thank you enough for taking this on. we hand off our final package. the one thing i want

to realize is that this is a community effort. it's not just about san francisco, santa clara, san jose. it's about the entire region coming together. the reason i took on this goal is that we have amazing things had -- happening in our community and we are going to highlight these in the next six weeks and i'm also highlighting things that are not yet great. we have 1.2 million people who are too poor to meet their basic needs. what we are going to do by bringing the greatest game to the region is we are going to make this for the entire good of the community and that is why it's going to be the most impactful super bowl bid and super bowl nfl

this nation has ever seen. with that i'm going to turn it over to mayor lee. >> good morning. daniel, thank you again for your wonderful leadership for aheading up our bay area super bowl committee. i remember the first time we talked about what it was and what the 9ers meant to us and i want to thank you and the whole franchise for continue to go work and the wonderful legacy the 9ers has. just the last couple of days i have to admit that some of us were kind of looking very disappointed about the events regarding the blue angels and it remind us how

important this is and events like the blue angels and that we can't do without because if they decide they can be here for any reason, there is real heavy breathing that goes on and that's something i felt. that means i'm enthusiastic about the americas cup and i'm absolutely thrilled and enthusiastic about our super bowl bid. it's bringing all the elements of our city together, the neighborhood, fan base and has that wonderful event. i have had a chance to

relive the excitement of the super bowl and if i told steve young, i paced five yards in my office all day long and at home to relive this past super bowl. that just reflects the excitement that we have with the super bowl bid. now today, it's my privilege to co-announce with everyone here two people that are additional firepower to our super bowl bid committee. george seefrd and steve young, they really don't need an introduction but i love to talk about them to the 9ers. steve brought us his legacy. during this time, the 49ers

earned the best team in the nation and continues with that legend so coach, thank you for bringing your winning record and wonderful great name to help us win another super bowl bid for super bowl 50 or 51 for the bay area. and coach seefrd's partner in 1999 was the famous quarterback steve young who through a record 6 touchdown passes during that game and became the first player to lead in super bowl rushing and passing. thank you for your support and leadership and lending your bid for this bay area support of this effort to bringing it all the way to the end zone. you know, george and steve and jed, we all know there is no better place in america to host the super bowl

for 50 and 51 than the bay area. the game to be played in santa clara, we know that every hotel and restaurant between here and san jose will be filled and the entire region will benefit tremendously from this super bowl. that's why we have everyone from our entire departments from city administrators and super works to make sure we host a great event for the whole entire area. an i know that once we host this first super bowl, once we win it and host it that we'll be in the rotation for future super bowls as well. we have the hotels, hospital, transportation network, the businesses, the support to do this right and do this well. i

want to just again, thank daniel, thank the entire super bowl bid committee and welcome in george and steve to join jed and daniel and all of us in making sure we persuade the nfl in may, that we have earned the right to host super bowl 50. thank you. [ applause ] >> as you know we have the draft coming up and for our super bowl committee team. we created to get the two top guys in the draft. we have them now, coach seefrd and steve young. it's important to echo what mayor lee said about bringing everything together. that's what sports is about, that's what sports does for a community. we've been working

tirelessly to build a state of the art state -- stadium that embodies california from a technological standpoint. this is one that i'm most proud of. tht the first league national football team. for our home games we'll be powered completely by the sun. no one else can say that in professional sports in this country. that's something that highlights what we are trying to do and what we are trying to show what sports can be, not just for the community, but a beacon for what we should be striving for everyday of our life from a technological standpoint and stability. we are head of construction and we are moving forward and we can't wait to play game in 2014 and

very much looking forward to playing a super bowl and getting ourselves in the rotation. we love the bay area and we want to show everybody else in the world that this is the greatest place to host the greatest game in the world. i would like to introduce coach seefrd and thank him and george for being a part of this. [ applause ] . >> thank you, mayor and dan, jed. i'm obviously proud and excited to be part of this committee that will attempt to bring the 50th super bowl to the san francisco bay area. it was i believe in 1967 that the first super bowl was played in los angeles, california. it seems only fitting now that the nfl bring the 50th super bowl to northern california in the san francisco bay area. san francisco and the area over the years has hosted successfully

many nfc championship games of super bowl stanford in 1985. i thought it was 95 and most recently the world series games. we have so much to offer. we have an awesome stadium and the attractiveness in the city itself and from the wine country to the north to caramel to the south, it's a great venue to host the game. i'm familiar with one of the two areas in particular more than the other, the north. and at any rate, we have a tremendous tradition going back to the days of keys ar and our great football players and we have the back fields where everybody is in the hall of family, henry johnson, joe

perry, i'm sure you remember all of them. now we have the great players part of our tradition. we are happy to offer a great event venue and steve young is here and he's the reason we've been able to win so many games and win the super bowl. what year was that? 1995. thank you very much. >> thanks, george. it's always to get reunited with him to see him. super bowl has a way of defining careers and cities and you look at the championships that have been here recently with the giants, obviously with the 49ers back in the mix and the history of 49ers we've had a history. the idea that it's

here in san francisco makes sense. it's one of the greatest destination cities in america. now that's been taken care of and i appreciate those efforts. super bowls have a way of building a lot of bridges. this is a bridge building effort and i appreciate to be associated with that kind of inclusivity to allow people with any strained relationships over the year, that they can be amended and super bowl is a place to do that. if you think about where the super bowl has been in the past and compare it to san francisco, san francisco lacks nothing. really the entire bay area to host a tremendous event. i think it obviously makes sense to everybody here but nationwide, people think about the bay area and of course it makes sense. i look

forward to that game and hopefully winning that bid next month. thanks a lot. [ applause ] . >> steve, george. thank you very much for coming on board. supervisor ferrel, thank you for all your efforts on the supervisor side. mayor lee, jed, thank you all. we'll take, you guys can grab us afford. we -- may 7, bid is due, may 27 we present in boston to the owners and with this team behind us, we are getting it done. thank you. have a great day.

committee. good afternoon and welcome to the thursday may 2nd, 2013, board of directors i'm the chair of the committee. we're joined by erick and just an announcement committee member norman will not be here instead we'll have supervisor mark farrell. we want to thank the following
