my name is -- i live in district 4. a huge tsunami at the plant. reactors 1-4 were damaged. after many days the tokyo electric company finally launched a dangerous operation to remove the fuel rods of these reactors. this is so dangerous that if human error or another quake occur these buildings could cripple and explode and causing a nuclear at that -- catastrophe. in august, japan revealed that radio active ground water has been pouring into the pacific ocean everyday. starting in march 2014. accept the radioactive to start reaching
8:08 pm
our waters. the size of texas to collide with the west coast. fairfax county passed the resolution and now berkeley in seattle are adopting a similar resolution. this plan is produced to provide continuous monitoring to our food, air and water and a plan for radiation exposure. please, i'm urging you to consider adopting a similar resolution to monitor and minimize the amount of radiation for residents of san francisco. thank you. president david chiu: thanks, next speaker. speaker: my name is dave akkad
8:09 pm
al. prohibiting outside income. i fully appreciate the people's desire to receive a high level of personal commitment from their representative and executives. but i have already stated deep opposition to unenforceable clauses in the charter. please reference the devotion clause section 3.100 so i'm concerned because being a supervisor is a full time job and being an apparent is a full time job. i am still concerned that anyone can accomplish two full time jobs at the same time. just ask any working mother. but, i have to ask mr. farrell without any personal reference and this is purely
8:10 pm
rhetorical, mr. president, you are trying to do three full time jobs at the same time. so who are you shortchanging? president david chiu: thank you. next speaker. >> good afternoon, supervisors. i would like to read the following head lines. police arrest 348 in canada child porn investigation. as far as i can find out nothing happens in san francisco with regard to child porn. i would like to pose a question. are any of our san francisco leaders in anyway tied to child pornography. i would like some sort of an answer and i hope it's the right answer. secondly, i would like to know how much child porn actually exist inside the
8:11 pm
computer systems within the city and county of san francisco work offices. i hope i get the right answer on that. we'll see if anybody is willing to tackle it. i would also like to say which is more important to the board of supervisors and the mayor's office: bottled water, ellis act evictions or a gay dead man who has been ignored for 15 years. if you ask my opinion, nelson mandela, harvey milk, and -- would say joe deserves and explanation. the impression a learned with san francisco being at city hall, if you are a dead gay man, you can be totally ignored even by the gay establishment. it's a crying shame that gay people across this country to
8:12 pm
have whisper behind your backs at the shame of what's happening in san francisco. they dare not embarrass you publically because gays aren't supposed to fight with each other. so let's put it this way. how long is a dead gay man going to be ignored? president david chiu: thank you, next speaker. >> good afternoon, john in san francisco. the power of christmas is back. what a power it is. it has been around for hundreds of years. i don't mean the power of money. it is the birthday and celebration of a personal friend to all of us. a friend to each of us that we can enjoy alone or with others. the only way that you can experience him is through your
8:13 pm
imagination. you can imagine him to be your make believe friend or your real friend. whatever works for you. a friend that will always be there through eternity. you don't need the internet to do so. all he asks of you is to love him in return. there are some that want to take him away from you. don't let them. merry christmas to everybody. president david chiu: thank you. any other members of the p be who wish to speak? general public comment? mam, please step up. speaker: good evening, supervisors. my name is jackie brie son. jakkee. i'm here to
8:14 pm
raise the issue of divorce that you have not heard where it comes to vulnerable populations which are housed nr: this vulnerable population is housed at taxpayers expense. the people in so-called supportive housing who are being evicted left, right, front and center because there are no protections for them. there are a number of non-profits which are taking taxpayers money and can't even both being in compliance with the administrative code which requires that there be a minimum of two designated public board of directors meetings per year and the notices of said meetings be filed with the clerk of the
8:15 pm
board of supervisors and my personal favorite, the government document in the public library. yet, these very same non-profits who shall remain unnamed are crying poor mouth. their rents are going up. they are talking about how they need to purchase buildings and get taxpayers money. but i'm saying that first and foremost they need to come in compliance. that is those in supportive housing should not be evicted. they need to be working in the mayor's office of hope to provide protections because san francisco is the city that supposedly knows how president david chiu: thank you very much. any others wishing

8:25 pm
maintenance contract with the city, basically agreeing to specific forms of improvements and maintenance to maintain and improve the historic integrity of these historic properties in exchange, the property owner receives a tax abatement. the contract is a 10-year contract and it can be renewed over time. in san francisco, we have had very, very few mills act contracts and almost none in terms of smaller properties because that process was so cumbersome and expensive and unpredictable and so forth. so, last year i authored legislation that this board passed unanimously to streamline our mills act contract process to set clear timetables with the planning department and with the assessor's office and to make
8:26 pm
it easier process for people to participate in. we passed that earlier this year. so, we now have what i believe is our first grouping of smaller properties coming forward with mills act contracts as part of our annual mills act process that the legislation created. there are and i'm very excited to see this, seven of the contracts are in the newly created historic district immediately north of duboce park by this board unanimously created earlier this year. one is in the liberty hill historic district which is in my district, two are in supervisor farrell's district and one is in supervisor kim's district. i want to thank the planning department and the assessor's office for working together to bring these contracts forward. and, colleagues, i ask for your support on these contracts. >> okay. thank you. we have director ram here.
8:27 pm
thanks for being here. >> thank you. good morning, supervisors. thank you very much. thank you for having this special hearing today to hear these items. the majority of the applications that are before the committee today, as supervisor wiener said, were -- are in the duboce park landmark district which was designated this summer, and that is why we're here today on kind of a late time of the year to have this hearing because that district was not created until late in the summer. and after the designation was processed, we were processing the applications for this legislation on a kind of compressed schedule with the assessor's office. your action this year will allow the property owners to see the tax benefit next year rather than having to wait another year in the process. so, i do want to thank supervisors wiener, farrell and kim for sponsoring this legislation today. i also want to thank the enclosetionv, clerk's office, budget analyst's office, assessor carmen chiu for work
8:28 pm
erg with us in such a time tight frame to bring this before you. the mills act affirm the city's commitment to preservation. it is the only financial incentive available to owners of landmark properties. as supervisor wiener said, it's a property tax incentive in exchange for a specific 10 year maintenance plan. and the board does have discretion in every single contract that is in front of you. it has been demonstrated over a number of years to be an effective preservation tool to help owners offset the cost of maintaining these older structures. and it has been used in many other cities in california. we, in fact, are behind other california municipalities, some of which have hundreds of contracts in place. in recent amendments proposed and sponsored by supervisor wiener, streamline the process making it cheaper to get into this process and less cumbersome to actually go through. so, as a result, recent designation of the due poems contract, there are 10 contracts before the board which is the most the city has
8:29 pm
ever proposed at one time. with that i will turn it over to susan parks of the planning department preservation staff and she'll go over with you some of the details in the contracts that are in froth of you. thank you. >> thank you. mr. chairman, one thing, because mr. ram just noted there were 10 instead of 11, he's right. item number 8, 70 carmelita street, that application has been withdrawn. when we ask, i'll be asking that we table item number 8, 70 carmelita. thank you. >> good morning, supervisors. susan parks, planning department staff. the items before you today are 11 mills act historical property contracts. four of those were submitted to the planning department on may 1st of this year and 7 were submitted on september 3rd of this year. as a reminder, in october 2012, the board of supervisors passed amendments which were authored by supervisor wiener to the mills act legislation. these revisions made the application process quicker,
8:30 pm
cheaper and more predictable. as part of the landmark designation for the do you duboce park designation, september 3rd mills act deadline was established. each property before you today has been locally designated under article 10 or 11 as either individually significant or contributor to a district. 7 properties are contributors to the duboce landmark under article 10 of the planning code. two properties are individual city landmarks also designated under article 10 of the planning code. and one property is individually designated as a category 2 building under article 11 of the planning code. each property owner filed an application to enter into a contract with the city. the property tax included are single-family residences, one flat and one commercial property located in the mid market. this contract can be revolving contracts that are renewed annually. each property owner has outlined are
