4:00 am
notice and those requirements are going to be done even though we're pretty much i'm combeen if i were to take 10 projects in those new zones i imagine 7, 8 or 9 be involved in this program. >> they - can i testify how many invests you did this year on this? >> with site mitigation cases like as you're a developer you have multiple projects all in states of projection. my oversight program we have 1.5
4:01 am
f t e cases with 50 cases. we are currently 65 cases we're working on. the large amount of time is in the review of the reports. we're trying to meet more with the consultants and go over their plan of action. and we sit down and discuss what the options that they're looking at for the mitigation of the hazard. it maybe removal or an engineer cap. that's the number of cases we're currently dealing with >> i appreciate the department of health being in the mix of
4:02 am
this i think you make information available and educate folks but, you know, in the real world in the development of san francisco i think that making it part of the code is smart because it will increase the workload of the department of health. i think - this is why is when things have to go through t a sequa process there's a handful of people who pay attention to this. in terms of codes and building permits it's every neighbors in that property. people do check argue website.
4:03 am
it becomes much more real on the ground in the way it the sequa process is a little bit more removed. so i don't believe that will be the case that your workload will retain the same that it is part of the code. i mean, we'll see. like anything else once we get into it and make the forms available we'll see how it progresses and i hope - you know, so we don't bring a whole other level of hardship to developers and folks who are doing this and so things move smoothly >> thank you. is there any more comment on this item? do we open up to public comment?
4:04 am
>> is there a public comment on this item? seeing none we need to motion to vote on >> i'm sorry are we voting to pass this on? >> to the board of supervisors yes. >> just as we're missing two commissioners here two i want to acknowledge that so - commissioner walker and commissioner lee had to leave. so we can vote on this now or wait until full commission that's pretty much where i would be >> even though i didn't speak earlier i share some of the
4:05 am
concerns about the issues that were raised. i don't want to back up of the people doing the work and without, you know, being up front about it i'm concerned with our ability to manage the department of health - the department of health ability to manage this thing >> so why don't we do this we'll continue this to the next meeting and obviously we can think about it and maybe if we had some more questions. i would have questions on the staffing and the direction there. i would have questions about the timeframe to do this in the field. if you knew you had projects
4:06 am
that took a certain time to do. and where staff would stand if the project didn't have to comply with this ordinance had to while the project was under construction and what is the situation there in the department of health had to come out to observe the site. with those kinds of questions to be addressed as a commissioner i want to be sure this passed and is implemented out in the field and we want to do it as efficiently to the stakeholder. i'm thinking more of the smaller projects and they have to deal
4:07 am
with. and the smaller ones don't have consultant and it can be very stressful. these are the issues i want addressed before i vote. so i'd elect to continue this to the next commission meeting. >> there's a motion and a second to continue to the next meeting. >> john from the city attorney's office. maybe i can clarify a issue. the charter requires only the building inspectors here you're not required to act on it. so if you continue the public hearing you're still in the
4:08 am
hearing phase you could also end of the public hearing and still consider your vote as the commission if you want to vote at another hearing. so you do have i think the way you've presented it everything would be intent both the public hearing portion and your decision michael if you do that to the june hearing that i but it's not necessary >> i think it's right with the realization that we don't have to it could go to the board of supervisors it becomes political that we're not quite ready and we'll be heard there, too so that's clear. thank you >> there is a motion and a second to continue this item for
4:09 am
the next he meeting. i'll do a role call vote. (calling roll). the motion carries unanimously. we're onto the item number 9 report fro from the nomination committee >> so i'd like to excuse commissioner lynch. >> okay. yeah so. >> how many people we need four poem so nobody else can leave. >> all right. so first of all, chair lee commissioner lee
4:10 am
regretted that he had to leave. first of all, the committee we wanted to thank all the people who applied. given the short notice we had a good number of applicants and we decided to invite in 5 applicants, 4 actually came to our meeting and put a face on their applications. i guess we do - the committee did have a couple of recommendations. we wanted to recommend for the commercial property seat or manage seat the advisory committee mr. henry who applied and actually came to our meeting and he's been the the - i
4:11 am
believe he's been the committee before. for the architect seat in the board of examiners we wanted to bring forgot 2 candidates. we felt they were both qualified but there's only one seat so with that i'd like to put forth the nomination of mr. sugarman. and we actually mentioned if it's - if this body is open to it - because there's going to be more terms expiring in august we want to hold the candidates in the pool because for whatever
4:12 am

4:14 am
website somewhere. >> any comments? >> future meetings and agendas at this point they could set a special meeting or place the agenda on the next meeting. our next meeting date is june 19th. >> so i would again like to propose a special meeting. maybe over the next few months and kind of authorize the secretary to pole the commissioners open their availability and to work with staff. i would like a special meeting of the and i basement board to take care of some of those lincoln issues and give plenty of public notice and allow the secretary to arrange for the

4:20 am
school graduates and to all of our fifth grade graduates and kindergarten graduates i say to yukon grad you lacings and those of you graduating from high school, i say welcome to adulthood. it is a good thing. the control's office in the city of san francisco released a report that he lights the san francisco residents about public services that they experience. this includes our public schools. i would like to take a moment to highlight the key insights from this report which i think are very good barometers about how the public is perceiving our public schools. >> the percentage of respondents with school aged children attending schools have increased in the past five years from 66 percent to 71 percent. we find that many of our colleagues and school districts across the nation are
4:21 am
experiencing decreasing enrollment are having increasing. the percentage that rates it as excellent, have increased by 8 percent in the past two years from 18 to 26 percent, the percentage of respondents at schools are good or excellent and increased in the last two years from 66 to 74 percent and the percentage that rated our schools as average or poor has decreased by 8 percent in the past two years. from 34 to 26 percent and the percentage of respondents with young children indicating an intention to move out of the city has decreased by 6 percent in the past four years from 31 to 45 percent and ten percent in the past eight years from 45 to 35 percent, all of the numbers should be going up are going up and all that should be going down are going down. >> i think that deserves a
4:22 am
round of applause. >> and i would like to thank everyone, because the public is validating the exciting work that is taking place in our schools and we look forward to you learning more about what we have to offer in our school district. >> i also would like to end my comments for the evening taking a little point of personal privilege. mayor ed lee and president and ceo of the san francisco chamber of commerce, bob and myself, wrote a joint letter to the california state legislature offering our support for the local control funding formula that is being proposed by our governor brown and with the responsibility for over 55,000 children in the city and county of san francisco, we all know all too well, and we have struggled to balance the increasing demands for vital services with decreasing vaoe sources from the state. the governor's proposed policy while not perfect, does
4:23 am
increase the resources and is a policy that will be an enormous gain and prove accountability to make sure that we can provide these services and keep our promises in the most efficient and effective way to the students that we in san francisco have identified as needing our services and we require great resources to continue doing the amazing work on behalf of our families and urge the legislature to continue to work with the administration to pass and enact local control form law and as you know in san francisco, we have been way ahead of this with our own weighted student form law and so we know what it takes to fund economickty, it is not just a promise, it is a strategy for actually educating all of our children and so we applaud the governor and support the governor's proposal and urge you to make your voices known as well as this will benefit the children in san francisco, so thank you with that i say, welcome to the last meeting of the last week of the school year.
4:24 am
>> thank you, and board members, just for your information i will be bringing to the board a resolution suggesting that we take a support position on the local control funding formula at the next meeting. >> yes. >> it is not appropriately noticed for this meeting. >> item c, recognitions and resolutions of commendation. do you want to start with rave >> i would like to invite the associate superintendent to come forward to the microphone to present a rave distinguished service award to our very own voice of equity mr. martinez in the office of voice.
4:25 am
>> good evening, superintendent and commissioners of the board of education as superintendents my name is kevin and from the family support department and it is my pleasure tonight to recognize possibly the most popular and complimented person in my entire department and for those of you who know my department is massive and huge. and ramone gets compliments all of the time, but publicly it is about time that i get a chance to actually say this in public and on television to recognize them. and here is one example of the rave that got him this nomination. and but multiply this at least a couple of hundred throughout the year. ramone has been a true partner to us in the bay view, facilitating conversations between us and the office to arrive at common agreements to hold what is best for students at the center always. >> he always offers to show up
4:26 am
in person, to facilitate communication with family and follows up on communication to make sure that everyone has the information they need. he is willing to strategying. he is willing to go beyond the formal job description to make positive changes to the school. >> he is professional, compassionate, fair and equity, and champion for students, family and an ally. he showed up at school on a day of a very tremendous vandalism and break in, he helped to clean the classroom and repost the bulletin boards and he was out on the yard at lunchtime running a kick ball game with the students. and some people know, that when i was in elementary school principal, ramone was my
4:27 am
elementary adviser and so i think that i have something to do with his amazing success. okay? he learned this from me. so ladies and gentlemen, the most popular man in the district ramone martinez and i love him with all of my heart he is amazing. >> i just got a twitter from obama and he can't make it, no

4:29 am
amazing and he and so many people know her from being the parent liaison and also at cleveland elementary and mr. sanchez was not able to make it here and he wanted us to represent him and just raving about her. the assistant principal. miss soto just goes above and beyond every single day for our students and for our families. she helps to break down obstacles for our parents and assists them in gaining access to school, our community and their students' academic lives and sfg. >> she always has a smile on her face and consistently working to out reach to the under served community and meets the parents regularly and educates them on the high school enrollment process and how to support middle schoolers which is complicated and discussing all of their needs, without her, james and our community who would not have the support that it deserve and

[ applause ] >> congratulations, thank you so much. >> you are welcome. >> thank you. >> thank you. >> thank you. >> this is an honor. and i just want to say that as long as soto is every single family liaison here in the district this is our job working with the families every day. we are the liaison and we are the bridge between teachers, family
