requirement that we can enforce and so i guess that is a consolation and it sounds like there are still remaining opportunities that we would be happy to see go to small, local, minority and other firms. >> chair nolan: individuals in san francisco can still be hired but is subcontractors and elsewhere, is that right? it's not good news for the local businesses sincerely but individual people in san francisco who are painters and -- >> you are correct. is one part of how we are trying to encourage that the funding those apprenticeship slots; we cannot require the those be san francisco residents,

we remain optimistic that san franciscans will be put to work, close to 20% of local hire on the current construction projects. the ones where the local hire ordinance technically does not apply because of the same federal laws. even without the force of law we have opportunity to see san franciscans working on this project. >> chair nolan: anybody else on the board? director bridges, i'm sorry. >> director bridges: when doctor director heinicke's comments, we really don't have that many options, have zero options because we don't want to see the project delayed for fear of jeopardizing where we are with a federal grant. at the same time it is very disappointing that we cannot force the contractor to comply

to our local laws. i would hope that in the spirit of the severn san francisco code, to see if local contractors can be hired for the jobs remaining. >> is that a motion? >> i have a comment and a motion. i'm happy to make a motion; i am not interested in rejecting the bids. i agree that we should encourage the contractor to hire locally if possible. i think we have to keep in mind that this project is going to create future work all along the corridor. and slowing it down is not going to serve any of our businesses large or small so i really don't want to delay this. we are going to see this project drive the economy along the corridor in the city

and it will create business in the city, that is what we want to see all the businesses large and small benefit and moving forward expeditiously will be the best way to see that. >> director ramos. >> director ramos: i do make sure i understand this. the tremendous amount a funny that we are getting from the feds is such that, this is federal funding coming from washington, dc. you said the lion's share the funding, do not fall from the sky or that we paid out of our pockets, is money come from all over the country. we cannot put limitations on what we expect; theoretically everybody has paid for this project from outside of s san francisco as well. taxation without representation --

is an effort on the part of the federal government to get representation from contractors outside of the region. and because we have to take this funding to be able to complete this project is sort of a necessary compliance that we have to act in accordance with. i want to express my support for this talk in this effort of given all of that, having the lead contractor understand the spirit, and i know from my own experience that this is not unique. this problem that we are talking about right now is not unique to this project. it happens with every federally funded project; every time a nickel of federal funding goes into any project like this it automatically opens it up for these kinds of limitations. that being said to support thinking about if we say no to this contract at this time,

what happens is a project is delayed for who knows how much time in who knows for what better, if any, we will get. we talk about the economy and how it will turn around the whole corridor and everything; , every time i think about the central subway and i hear about it, i think about those folks who are slaves to the ferry stockton. i would encourage anyone to go ahead and wash dishes in a windowless room for 10 hours, and going and stand in line and wait for crowded bus that will pass you, and have that person, or have someone tell you that we'll have to wait a few more years before anything changes; this is a transit first city, we have to move this contract forward to improve his vision that is inclusive of those writers and the community in chinatown and i will support this and vote yes in looking forward to moving this along. >> chair nolan: other directors?

we have a motion and a second? all those in favor? ayes have it. ms. boomer, next item. >> item 12, to whether to conduct a close session. >> chair nolan: is there a motion? second? all those in favor? we will not go into closed session. >> item 13, the board of directors voted unanimously to settle the huey case.

>> chair nolan: all those in favor? >> secretary boomer: that concludes the business today. ♪ >> i am so looking forward to the street fair tomorrow. >> it is in the mission, how are we going to get there? we are not driving. >> well what do you suggest?

>> there are a lot of great transportation choices in the city and there is one place to find them all, sfnta.com. >> sfmta.com. >> it is the walking parking, and riding muni and it is all here in one place. >> sitting in front of my computer waiting transportation options that is not exactly how i want to spend my saturday night. >> the new sfmta.com is mobile friendly, it works great on a tablet, smart phone or a lap top, it is built to go wherever we go. >> cool. >> but, let's just take the same route tomorrow that we always take, okay? >> it might be much more fun to ride our bikes. >> i am going to be way too tired to ride all the way home. >> okay, how about this, we can ride our bikes there and then we can take muni home and it even shows us how to take the

bikes on the bus, so simple right here on my phone. >> neat. we can finish making travel plans over dinner, now let's go eat. >> how about about that organic vegan gluten free rest rft. >> can't we go to the food truck. >> do you want to walk or take a taxi. >> there is an alert right here telling us there is heavy traffic in soma. >> let's walk there and then take a taxi or muni back. >> that new website gives us a lot of options. >> it sure does and we can use it again next weekend when we go to see the giants. there is a new destination section on the website that shows us how to get to at&t park. >> there is a section, and account alerts and information on parking and all kinds of stuff, it is so easy to use that even you can use it. >> that is smart. >> are you giving me a compliment. >> i think that i am.

>> wow, thanks. >> now you can buy dinner. sfmta.com. access useful information, any ti

>> thank you. welcome back. ask if you have any preliminary comments would you like to make? >> thank you, are good afternoon. thank you president chiu and mexican -- members to the board of supervisors. i would like to thank every member for joining me in all of the budget town hall meetings that we've had and i know it's important for us to join us and hear about the priorities. i'm also using all of the input and information that we gather and i look forward to presenting you with a proposed budget in a few short days hopefully a budget that reflects our values and representing a hundred percent of san franciscans. balancing our priorities isn't simple and easy and i will look forward to meeting you in the next coming weeks to make sure

it's balanced. thanks for joining me on the stage with our warriors ground and the announcing of the super bowl hosting. >> thank you, mr. mayor. our one and only question today by colleague supervisor wiener. >> thank you, mr. mayor i'm happy to give you a reason to come down here for question time. i know how much you look forward to it. so, mr. mayor, in many neighborhoods across the city our sidewalks don't have the capacity to ensure safe and comfortable pedestrian flow which squeezes the pedestrians onto the street when there is a crowd on the sidewalk. while infrastructure improvement while widening our sidewalks can alleviate pedestrian congestion and these

resources are limited. a less expensive solution is to improve placement of street furniture such as surface mounted utility boxes, news racks, advertising kiosks and public toiments -- toilets and other fixtures on the sidewalk individually can impede pedestrian flow and restrict visibility of pedestrians at corners, with so many pieces of sidewalk furniture competing for scares sidewalk furniture placement what can we do to create safe and comfortable sidewalks along the street and how will you ensure that we increase safety and hazardous

visibility situations and how do you plan to relive this strategy and in miles of pedestrian up grades. >> thank you for that question, supervisor. as you and i agree our sidewalk space is a limit resources. it's where our utilities run, we have strollers and cafes and where trees grow and where fire fighters find their nearest fire hydrant. we have many competing demands with so many square feet. many have asked questions about how we are working to these things. i know these items are important to you but some are tradeoffs. for

example, the pedestrian safety strategy has so far resulted in hundreds of signs around schools and new count down pedestrian signals. implementation of the bicycle plan has increased the space for bicycle racks. we have strategies to reduce sidewalk clutter. the bicycle plan, pedestrian safety strategy, the again plan, storm water management plan, the better streets plan and our traverse policy are all excellent road maps. but these plans cannot be considered and isolation and that's what i believe you mean, supervisor and they can not succeed in isolation as well and they can't succeed in purely volunteer basis. guidelines must be considered across departments and value utd for fees ability or else

what's the point of having all of these great plans. i know that you have review legislation that would design a committee which would create a committee to coordinate and evaluate proposed right of way improvements. i'm very interested in the discussion about this legislation. i'm especially interested in hearing about how we might best coordinate not just major street scape but -- smaller situations. do utilities boxes need to be as big as they are, can we manage signage that is less intrusive. i agree with more stringent coordination we will work together to ensure sidewalk safety. >> thank you, mr. mayor. that

concludes the questions for today. >> and with that, why don't we proceed to our next agenda item. please call item 2 through 6. item 130261:[health code - retroactive increase in patient rates for certain mental health services] sponsor: mayor ordinance amending the health code, section 128, to retroactively increase patient rates charged for certain mental health services. 05/14/2013; passed, item 130261:[health code - retroactive increase in patient rates for certain mental health services] sponsor: mayor ordinance amending the health code, section 128, to retroactively increase patient rates charged for certain mental health services. 05/14/2013; passed, on first item 130261:[health code - retroactive increase in patient rates for certain mental health services] sponsor: mayor ordinance amending the health code, section 128, to retroactively increase patient rates charged for certain mental health services. 05/14/2013; passed, on first reading. >> 121234 >> supervisor cohen, aye, ferrel aye, kim aye, mar aye, tang aye, wiener aye, supervisor yee aye, avalos aye, supervisor breed, aye, campos aye, president chiu, there are 11 ayes. >> item is adopted.

in almost a decade. this district which is truly beautiful and unique is directly north of did park and the three dead-end streets. carmelita. it's comprised of 87 buildings and has a significant number of intact victorian and it is a truly beautiful neighborhood and if you have not been there, i encourage you to go and visit. this district came out of the historic surveys conducted as part of the market octaveia process. we have gone through a several community process through several community meetings as well as a survey as i requested

the planning department conduct which i showed support in the neighborhood i will acknowledge that this support is not unanimous and there are focus who do not support the historic district and i believe we did go through a process and we very carefully listened to feedback from the community and this is probably the most narrowly drawn the historic city. this is only the defining features of the district and primarily the facade and these are not areas that are not character defining. as part of this interesting process what is leading up to us today we have heard that is not surprising to any of us that there is very significant frustration with the planning process in san francisco. it takes too long and too

cumbersome in many ways and frustrating for home owners who have projects that are non-controversial and still takes them a long time. i'm very sensitive to that generalized concern about our planning process and i frankly i agree with them that there are things that we can do to improve it. but this driblth is -- district is narrowly drawn to a significant improvement including a newly crafted administrative appropriateness that staff will be able to grant administrative certificates of appropriateness over the counter for none major changes to these homes, in addition colleagues and i this you for this and i offered legislation this year to pass the mill zach
