continue this consistency sake, understand that this is not going to be a winning vote, but i think to me, this is the law of unintended consequences, again, we have someone who's in a more dire economic situation and in particular because this is a six unit tic building being kind of quasi forced to convert where they are no longer eligible for the process, these are exactly the people i believe we need to support. i realize there's not the general sentiment here on the board but i will be supporting the resident from district 2 and so but given that, maybe someone else can make the motion because i know it's not going to be a winner here today. >> okay, is there someone who could make the motion? supervisor breed? >> okay, let me just make sure we're at the right place.

this is item number 27, correct? >> it is both item 23 through 25 as well as items 27 through -- i'm sorry, you're right. >> they're mixed a little bit. >> they're mixed, items 23-25 is related to apartment number 2 and items 27 through 29 are related to apartment number 5. >> sorry. so, i would like to make a motion to move item 19, table item 20 and 21 -- >> supervisor breed, i think we've already resolved that. the motion i believe you're thinking of making is move item 23 to deny the appeal with regards to apartment 2. table 24 and 25 and then move item 27 to deny the appeal for apartment number 5, and then

table item number 28 and 29. >> okay, sorry. because on the screen, it's different and up here, it's different, so i would like to make a motion to move item 23, table item 24 and 25, move item 27, table item 28 and 29. >> supervisor breed just made a motion, seconded by supervisor campos. any discussion? none. so, colleagues, unless there's any further comment, let's take a roll call vote on supervisor breed's motion. >> supervisor brao*ed? >> aye. >> breed, aye, supervisor campos, aye f, supervisor chiu, chiu, aye. supervisor cohen, aye. supervisor farrell? >> no. >> farrell, no. supervisor kim, aye, supervisor

mar, aye. supervisor tang, aye. supervisor wiener, no, supervisor yee, aye, supervisor avalos, aye. there are 9 ayes and two no's. >> the motion is denying both of the appeals are passed and the only thing i will just say colleague, i'm hoping we're not going to see additional appeals of this until supervisor breed's legislation moves forward but of course folks are free to file what they wish. with that, why don't we now go to roll call for introductions, madam clerk. >> yes, mr. president, supervisor breed is first to introduce new items. >> thank you, today i'm introducing an amendment to the tic bypass legislation that the board passed earlier this year and the in the past couple of months, we've seen a number of appeals of the conversion, bypass fee and these appeals have by in large been solely on the basis of financial hardship, regardless of how

sympathetic the appeals are, there is no obl gases of the law for a fee waiver, the board can simply not do it, part 3196.4j1 of the subdivision code say that is a project applicant may appeal to the board of supervisors for reduction, adjustment or waiver of the requirements based upon the absence of any reasonable relationship or nexus between the impact of the development and the amount of the fee charged. in other words, the appellant must refute the 2011 nexus report done on behalf of the city by ketha martin and associates and this is a steep climb and with only one possible exception, no appellant has ever tried, so we had three appellants today that do not even address the only legal basis on which we grant a waiver. to continue holding markings for such appeals is not only a misuse of city resources, it is a waste of the appellant's time.

it is giving them a false impression, the notion that we may provide a waiver which we legally are prohibited from providing, so i think it would be in everyone's best interest, the appellant's and the city to make the appeal process more clear and more in line with the sledge slaying's intent, my amendment will allow the city attorney to vet appeals and address those that do not address the nex suggestion by the impact of development in the amount of the fides charged which is again the only basis for an appeal in the law, i have added language ensuring that any supervisor can overrule the clerk and request the appeal be calendared, so i think this is the fairest way to address this particular situation. the other thing that i plan to do after hearing as i said the young lady that came before us would was here last week for her hearing is that we definitely also need to make the changes in order to address the is eye around -- issue

around the hardship so for those who need a deferral for the condo conversion fee can have that deferral in a time as such that it will meet their needs so that when they have an opportunity to refinance, then they can possibly afford to pay the fee back, so that's my legislation, so far, i have supervisor campos and supervisor chiu who have asked to be added as a co-sponsor and so i'm looking forward to getting this legislation passed as quickly as possible. the other two things that i wanted to mention today was i know i had mentioned in the past when we took the park legislation vote which i'm sure none of us want to be reminded ofz, that i would be introducing graffiti legislation soon, and i just wanted to let you all know that i'm currently working on it and

sorting out the language to make sure that there is clarity around the language for the legislation before it's introduced, but i'm looking forward to bringing that to you hopefully in the next couple of weeks. and last but not least, i know we're all anxious to get home for thanksgiving and enjoy turkey and all the dressings, but on thursday, we have an amazing game that's going to happen because galileo high school will be probably, more than likely, they'll be belting lincoln high skal at kizar stadium this thursday which is a tradition in our high schools in san francisco is turkey day. when i was at galileo high school, we went every single year and just last week, we beat lowell in order to get to turkey day, but that's just how it goes, galileo is a great football team, a great school and we'll be at turkey day with

lincoln at thursday at 11 a.m., so before you get all full and watch football and eat and get tired, come out and support our great football students that play this thursday at 11:00 a.m. >> thank you, supervisor breed. supervisor campos? >> thank you very much, madam clerk. happy thanksgiving to everyone. i have a couple of items today. the first item is an accept and expend ordinance that we're introducing on behalf of the public defender's office to support grant funding from the juvenile accountability block grant program which partially funds an attorney and in the public defender's office that works with community based organizations and alternatives and out of home placement for youth and we're proud to introduce that. the second item is simply to note that you know, tomorrow will be a very significant day

in san francisco. it will be the 35th anniversary of the assassination of mayor mosconi and supervisor harvey milk, it is amazing to think that 35 years have passed but i think it's very important for us as we're nearing the 35th anniversary to take a moment today to remember the memory of mayor mosconi and supervisor milk, and as an openly gay man, i know that supervisor milk sacrificed his life to protect people like me to be able to be themselves in this city and it's sad in a way that history's repeating himself because at the time of harvey milk, the state of california was dealing with the initiative that was trying to force gay teachers out of classrooms in

california and now we have an effort that is once again targeting the lgbt community and specifically the transgender community ref rend dumb that if it gets on the ballot and succeeds will take basic rights away from transgender young people in our public schools, but i think that in the memory of harvey milk that we need to rededicate ourselves to the struggle for equality and i know that harvey milk is very much a presence in this board not only because, you know, his bust is right outside this chamber but i think the memory of his sacrifice is with us, so it's been 35 years, but we will never forget. >> thank you, supervisor campos? president chiu? >> thank you, colleagues, today i'm introducing a legislation to propose that we legalize existing in laws throughout the

city. we all know at this time we are in midst of an affordability crisis with shying rockets eviction rate and is working families are being pushed out and for decades, san francisco has had a shadow economy involving technically legal inlaw units between world war ii and 1960, there were 20 to 30 thousand in-laws were built, today it'sest mated there are 30 to 40 thousand technically illegal inlaw units, who lives in these in-laws? we know the individuals who live in them are tenants who are typically immigrants, seniors, families and there is a disproportionately high number of children as well as some of our city's lowest income and longest term residents. they live in very affordable units but lack tenant rights. a study in district 11 showed

that 45% of residents and in-laws don't even have written leases with their landlords. for many year, there have been significant calls for legalization, inlaw secondary units are simple and cost effective methods of increasing our cost effective supply, organizations from spur to the housing action coalition and tenant organizations have encouraged our city to consider legalization, but unfortunately, we have had a don't ask, don't tell policy, we have turned a blind eye to inlaw policies, it has eliminated an average of 100 in-laws each year. what i'm proposing today is that we adopt a voluntary policy in the city to allow for the legalization of in-laws, we allow owners to voluntarily approach the city to legalize

one existing inlaw unit without an additional permit. in my legislation, it would waive local planning rules that don't deal with safety, so an owner would not need to meet additional open space requirements, there would not be a need to add additional parking ask there would not be a change in zoning. my legislation does not waive building code rules that relate to state life safety requirements, so requirements for fire, plumbing, electrical exits and entrances. the purpose for this legislation is to bring tens of thousands of housing units in legal affordable housing, to address the affordable crisis, to activate vacant units that have been kept off the market. the second purpose of this legislation is to protect tenants bho have lived for decades without tenant protections and leases in in-laws and in units that should be safer. my legislation would protect rent control status for these

tenants, would not allow cost pass-throughs from landlords to tenants for mayor capital improvement, would not allow for subdivisions and would establish a relocation process and a reimbursement process for tenants if construction is necessary there a currently technically legal inlaw. the third category of folks that this helps are home owners. we know that property values will increase when you are able to legalize these units. this legislation will help to reduce planning and zoning obstacles to legislation, the sledge lacing also only charges a nominal administrative fee to an owner to legalize to make it as easy as possible and to allow openers who are able to bring financially able in-laws up to code. i want to thank a very

significant coalition that has been working with my aid, amy chan and i for the better part of the last 9 months, really trying to bounce the needs of tenants and property owners in advancebacker advancing our citywide housing goals, i want to thank the asian law caucus, just cause, the chinatown cdc and the tenderloin housing clinic. i want to thank the small property owners of san francisco, the coalition of better housing, we've had the intense participation of citywide advocates from spur, the housing action coalition, many city staffers from the department of building inspection, the planning departments, our earthquake safety program and our city toerp's office and colleague, i do hope as this proceeds to the process that you'll be able to join our coalition in finally moving this in regard after many years of discussion. the rest of my item, i will submit.

>> thank you, president. supervisor cohen? >> thank you very much, i have one in memoriam today recognizing the life and legacy of officer michael howard who was a san francisco police officer, star number 1813, passed away monday november 18th at the age of 60. he joins the san francisco family as a sheriff's deputy in 19ed 86, in 1990, he joined the san francisco police department, he spent the last 22 years where he was assigned to it for most most of that time. he was known throughout the neighborhood as big mike and it was common that many of the neighborhood would look up to him. he was a gentle, soft spoken man. he will be dearly missed not only by his family, his police family, but also the community that he served, he believes behind a wife and three

daughters as well as his beloved mother, the rest i submit. >> thank you, supervisor cohen. supervisor fehrbacker farrell? -- farrell? >> i am could sponsoring a resolution developed in part nership with mayor lee support the revitalization of green finance sf and support the efforts of the environment, to gret green finance sf up and running again, i want to thank supervisors wiener, kim, yee for the co-sponsorship, as well as supervisor mar for his sponsorship. after nearly 6 months of ground work with various stakeholders from the environment, mayor lee and i announced to rekick start green finance sf, a program that will continue san francisco's tradition of being at the forefront of combating

climate change, meeting our greenhouse emission reduction, our renewable energy pros in their homes. green finance sf is a program for residential properties of [inaudible] or less, otherwise known as pace, it's a financing structure that will enable san francisco at no cost to the city to fund energy efficient and renewable energy upgrades for property owners and home owners. green finance sf special form of financing will overcome market barriers by spreading cost recovery with savings realized over the lie of the improvement. the special form of financing allows owners to upgrade with a traditional tax assessment with extremely favorable terms and competitive interest rates. it will be provided by private entities with no financial risk or exposure to san francisco. every day in our city, we're

fortunate too witness emerging models that that has become our clean energy economy. we know it can trigger market transformation s*us u just as the it transformation we're currently experiencing, but in order to unleash this true potential, as a city, we must provide callus stronger demand for renewable energy products and services. the catalyst is green finance sf. we receive seen in other parts of the state in california that have adopted residential pace programs, in sonoma and riverside county and is have seen the positive impacts that have followed further residents in their local economy. the stores of individuals that have chosen to participate in the respective pace programs and the successes they have experienced. these can save on monthly utility.bill tos the tune of

tosses of dollars, from the beginning of this process, we wanted to make sure this finance tool had a strong workforce component tied to it. we convened meters with our partners and labor to start discussions with how that work component would look like. it's a key to not getting them job today and keeping them employed but to help them find meaningful careers and new economy ins the green collar economy that continues to grow. we want our local workers to have the skills necessary to take part in that e -- emerging industry. we want to ensure local residents are working on local contracts on local projects so we keep money and workflow within san francisco and continue to boost our local

economy. i want to thank pat muligan from city build in particular, for all their hard work in the workforce component on that as well. we are confident that san francisco's program can now move forward and be successful. we've seen countless programs up and down the state of california and nationwide operates successfully now for years with no threat of it being shut down, we want to protect property owners and give them the comfort they need to part pate. our governor jerry brown passed in his budget reserve funds that will address sfha concerns and make sure that they are not impacted by pace impacts mere in san francisco, we will be participate ining the state reserve fund so that our

property owners are fully perked. green finance sf is the environmental solution we've been searching for in san francisco that will build out local energy sources and will create local jobs, it will reduce the adverse effects of climate change, make it easier for property owners in our neighborhoods make energy efficient upgrades to their homes. we have more work to do and colleagues, i hope you'll join me and many other city ride to reach our green house sf here in san francisco, i want to thank everybody that's helped with this process, the department of the environment, department of public finance, the commission of the environment, as well as numerous other labor community, small property owner and business people that were involved in this process, the rest i submit. >> thank you, supervisor farrell. supervisor kim? >> thank you, supervisor kim,

supervisor mar? >> thank you, colleagues, today i'm requesting our budget and analyst office to evaluate economic impacts of our transit first policies in the city. public space in our city is extremely -- it's an extremely valuable resource. we've increased the use of better neighbors planning, complete streets, strategies to meet transit safety and neighborhood revitalization goals from the masonic to 6th street, we are providing the safety of pedestrians and bikers as well as improving our transit, it is these benefit that is ie aoem asking the budget analyst office to study, between like lanes, bus rapid transit projects, street festivals like sundays streets and farmer's markets, we're using our streets in more

creative ways, it looks as streets as the river of life in cities, the place where we come together and the pathway to the center. i would like to look at how these types of improvements have an economic benefit to our merchant corridors and our neighborhoods. the analysis is also designed to satisfy the request of the small business commission to analyze the impact of the bus rapid project, so i look forward for me excellent work from our budget and analyst office. also on november 21 at the neighborhood services and safety committee chaired by supervisor campos and with supervisor yee and myself, i convened a hearing where our city's food security task force provided us with extensive data on hunger and food and security programs and how our city addresses them and we issued the city's food security task

force report for 2013, the first in three years which looks at food and security and hunger in each of our 11 districts, it provides us with high priority recommendation that is we as a city i believe must commit to and achieve. in order to move the city forward to be more food secure and to reduce hunger and to eliminate hunger, i'm introducing along with my co-sponsor, david campos, norman yee and kim, the fiekt against hunger, and it will also request additional work from our cities specific departments in our food security task force to develop plans that will advance our programs in achieving the recommendation. it asks city departments and the task force to report back to the neighborhood services and safety committee by march, 2014 so that we will hold our second hearing to address food and security and hunger in san francisco. it also sets a target date for

ending hunger and food and security in san francisco, it's an ambitious one by 2020 but sets out concrete step that is our city departments should take to get us to that goal, included but not limited to having calfresh program analyze the 50% of the people that are eligible but not receiving benefits in order to get targeted intervention for having calfresh enrollment, it is for food stamp, having the department of aging and department services providing analysis of the funding required and policies involved of home bound seniors and disabled are served within 30 days and in an emergency within 2-5 days and to report back by march, 2014. those are some of the examples of what the resolution will help accomplish. also some of you may know that i'm on day 6 of a 7 day food stamp challenge where i've been living off of about $4.56 of
