>> my apology. >> madam clerk can you call item 18 resolution retruax

actively authorizing the lease of 1995 evans street from claire a. spencer surviving trustee of spencer living trust for various departments to use as a storage for the period of time perd of august 1, 2013. through december. >> the clerk: [roll call vote taken] there are 11 ayes. motion passes. >> call item 19. ordinance amending the health code to exempt manual pragsers who are certified by the california

manual therapy council. >> i would like to speak to item 20. >> can we vote on item 19? any discussion. colleague can we take item 19 same house same call. without objection this item is called >> the reason i wanted to do that, item 19 was brought for another issue. >> since introducing the legislation, we ensure the legislation taking place in

illegal activities and the sunset district isn't the only one that faces these concerns. i would like to thank my colleagues, chiu, kim and yee for cosponsoring this legislation. i hope to work on current law that limits the ability to regulate the establishment that employ only state certified they are theist. our worked with the 2008 law. i want to make one minor change to the legislation

that would ensure all the fines that are imposed are not on the practitioner. on page 13, lines 11 and 12 i would like to strike to be paid by practitioner and up to $250. >> can we take that motion without objection? same house same call. >> supervisor avalos? >> just a question about the legislation that i'm hoping the author could answer and that is, the rational for requiring massage practitioner from san

francisco to wear id cards and what was the rational behind that and can we get input from organizations that get harm reduction outreach from people who are massage therapist and people who are potentially in the industry? >> currently understate and local law you are required to have your photo identification practitioner are license on the premises. the rational was to make it easier to see them very easily. some non-profit organizations who are part of the mayor's task force on human trafficking that we know are legitimate partners and we have asked them about this. they said it would not negatively impact their ability to conduct business or feel it

would jeopardize their safety. if you go e to get a haircut or other personal beauty for other types of services you know your hairdresser by name and other practitioner by their name. that's how you actually go and seek regular services. we do not feel it would jeopardize the workers safety. were there any organizations that had expressed difficulty with that ? >> we heard through an e-mail today. >> was there outreach for community based organizations.

any outreach to the center for young women analysis. >> it was as part of the task force for human trafficking. we were aware of that legislation through that venue. >> could you just explain how the id card would help to bring out or help to prevent human trafficking, how that could play a role in that process? the issues have been enforcement. there are cases where folks are practicing without proper licenses and that has been found to be the case. with the identification cards very upfront. you actually have a certification number and id number that is associated to make sure that they are licensed practitioner. this seeks to not only address issues for trying to help potential victims in trafficking. if you are there

seeking services then you ought to be receiving services from someone who is licensed properly congratulations on this election day. as the one thing that i had not thought of was is having your name, i wasn't worried about the photo because you know what your massage practitioner look like but having your dmaem on -- name on there, because i agree we should all have licensed massage therapist, you know clients aren't all there for

the reasons we want them there. and i was wondering if that concern was raised. >> that's the issue and my response to avalos as well. we felt it was very important if state and city law requires that you already have a license in the premises and you could be asked to show it at any given time and right when you walk in they have some of those photo id cards, we felt if you are --

>> it sounds like you have concerns. >> what i'm concerned about is there seems to be establishment and shows a document about any past and prior history of conviction. i'm concerned about practitioner there could be some harm about being exposed in anyway. there could be the stigma. those are my thoughts

and concerns that i'm not sure the badge itself would really support anyone from being subjected to human trafficking or not whether if establishment itself has the information on its premises about who are the practitioner there. it seems like that can be cooperated during any effort of the investigation there are there to no pictures to associate what is the license. i don't

know if there is room that maybe in the respect live massage room that there be a text and in lieu of being the person. i don't know if the discrepancy that the person is identifying who the name is who they are. or that they are physically wearing it. just some of the concerns.

>> it's an interesting question you are raising. >> that issue did come up in all of our discussion. to reiterate what cone is subjecting. would it be posted in the premises but in a public setting or in an area of establishment. you just don't want it to be physically on them. physicallly on the person.

that would require further continuation of this item. >> john gibner. the board could make that amendment and pass the item on first read. you can make the amendment and pass it today. >> supervisor yee? good points. i'm wondering if there is someone in between. in terms of medical people they usually

have someone. they usually have a name tag of some sort. it doesn't usually give you the full name. it addresses some of the concerns that avalos is alluding to and whether or not it could be a compromise. >> supervisor breed? >> yes, thank you, i just -- have a problem with them wearing the id. some of the establishments seem to face. someone who frequents places

like massage places and nail places and other places oftentimes sz quite confusing and you don't know necessarily if an actual license belongs to an actual individual. i wanted to make sure that there is a legislation that was meant in terms of may not necessarily be for the can you see mer but if there is a challenge or audit or ever anything done to try and figure out if the establishment is credible then having the actual id on the person and identifying that person with the number with what's meant to be a safe guard. i just wanted to get clarity to make sure by changes and requiring that it be on the premises i think it required bylaw then how does this policy going to be effective to serve the purpose of stopping those

who are abusive in the industry? >> supervisor kim? >> okay. so i'm really glad, i didn't appreciate the coverage we had. i'm just worried about the safety of the massage therapist. i'm particularly sensitive to that because i know what it's like to have all my information out in public and have someone follow you from place to place. that's what i was thinking about. massage therapy locations attract a certain type of clientele even if that business is doing what's right. i want to make sure we are supporting that right kind of establishment. is there a way that it can be their initials or id numbers with the photo to ensure that it's there. i

apologize because obviously we are bringing this up very late in the process. i apologize that we got at the mail so late. i didn't bring it up earlier but now i'm thinking about the public safety issue for the individual women. supervisor? >> i want to thank supervisor tang for the issues and what supervisor avalos said. i'm hoping there is a way to incorporate something that addresses the concern that supervisor avalos raised. i think it's a legitimate concern. obviously we want to do that what you are trying to accomplish here. i'm hoping we can get to something that makes sense. supervisor tang. single

family >> right now the law requires that it be available on the premises but it doesn't require it's posted in a public area. i would be okay with that. >> rather than on the person. >> yes. >> i will take that to be an amendment. any further discussion on that amendment which we understand is not substantive. without that, any further discussion. okay. why don't we take colleagues, can we take this ordinance as amended and do the same house same call? okay. without objection this ordinance is passed on the first reading as

amended. item 21. >> item 21. resolution respond together presiding judge of the soup roar court on the findings and recommendation. >> same house same call. this resolution is adopted. item 22 same house same call. let's call items 23 and 24. >> ordinance amending the planning code to modify when the control is required to issue various reports, item 24.

ordinance amending the administrative code by actioning section to direction planning commission to prepare and submit a resort to the board of supervisors to evaluate the provision of the planning code related to the location of medical cannabis dependence reese. as you know the labor commission allows us to can you -- customize and to establish ways to move forward in certain types of projects and certain types of businesses. this distribution. we have very different phenomenon that was happening elsewhere in san francisco in

the district. more of the backstop and promoting greater elements that we can an add to a positive direction going forward. i see tremendous growth in the next few decades we have single family homes in some places. 2 story homes, zones, the zoning will be much higher than that. in years to

come. we wa to make sure that we are keeping a limit on that. and the stores will be there to continue. it would allow any liquor store to maintain the liquor license. that's something that could happen with the safe way store that is actually potentially renovate to commercial residential development.

>> floors to be able to create uses that would establish greater resident housing as well for this legislation. we are with the transit first policy. it would no longer be a requirement. it would be below that level. the park is a change. in the corridor in the proximity of balboa park. planning staff can, one of the

reasons why a lot of people are here, because this legislation is looking at the clustering issue that happens around the medical cannabis industry in san francisco. around the regulation established in san francisco was a thousand foot limit that they have with the situations from existing schools and organizations that sit primarily children. i'm supportive of access to medical

cannabis for patients. last year they were approved in the longest corridor and i did not work to counteract any permitting process for those units for those mcd's because i really believed that we had to be doing our part to access for patients. there is a great deal of heat that came toward me when i actually did not and tried to prevent cd's present we now have great access in district 11 and i do not believe that it makes sense that when most of i would say 95 percent of my district is

not supportive of mcd's coming in that we create more access for patients that don't create in my district. now there is one of the cannabis sites in the mission organics there is a spin off of a person who wants another cannabis industry in the existing or other part of the corridor. i have been working on this legislation since last january and it wasn't until last month that the medical cannabis dispensary said they don't want to have it here. now they have been telling mers -- members of

this body that they she be able to green light it. i don't think it makes very good sense and they have been moving forward on this cannabis dispensary. it involves a conditional use for any mcd that would like to be in close proximity. i have a city land use commission that would extend that proximity. that could comb forward at a later time. for me i need to be standing up with my district for people who have been very vocal for about 2 years to how many cannabis dispensary in my

neighborhood. i hope that you can support this distribution i think the green zones can -- create a harmful voen and other parts of san francisco are saying that it's okay in these neighborhoods but not in our neighborhoods. we need to have a plan that works citywide to make sure that people all over the city can have access that is not impacting neighborhoods.
