specifically remember apple and that was a pretty complicated project and it would have been better if i think the project came back to the arc rather than amen -- apple coming back to us. maybe leaving that option open that it can come back several times or as needed or as determined by the arc. >> the suggestion would be the arc prior to releasing the project could request that it come back before them again ? >> yeah. >> i think that's a great idea. >> under article 3 duties office duties of the secretary. it doesn't happen often but i would like to

make sure the secretary helps with the process when the commissioner is asking for data, background data that the substantive that there is some kind of procedure where the secretary kind of checks in with whoever the planning staff is to get, so we know we can get the material on time rather than going directly to a planning staff person to make sure there is some follow through on the part of the secretary. i think that is reasonable to be required under the secretary's position. and then under article 5, meeting section 3, when it's a special meeting, at least 24 hours, i think you need more time than at least 24 hours there. i'm not sure how much, but i think something. and i agree with the submittals under section 12. i kind of get eshgd when

people submit it. some people don't know about our hearing until an hour before and they have some relevant information they need to share with us. >> quickly commissioner matsuda, the new submittal requirement would not prevent anyone from submitting information. >> maybe we can use more encouraging words. encourages early submittal so we can have more time to review. something like that. then i think that commissioner hasz touched on this under submittals for the hearing procedures. instead of like kind of limiting the time to 10 minutes or 1 minute. just make it more project specific and make it more to give more delegation to the

president to determine specifically with speakers. sometimes there are a number of speakers who come out and even though they maybe in support of or opposed to certain things baunsd they -- because they come out we need to give them an opportunity to be heard. lastly on disclosures. does that need to follow it too. do we need to have a separate section to talk about disclosures? >> i thought i had seen it here but i don't see it. >> it talks about changes of disclosures for each item. >> we just went to a sort of code within our own commission. >> okay. do we need to codify that code? okay. i would recommend that as well.

>> that we add a disclosure section to the rules. >> i don't see that would be a problem. i know you already have a procedure for that. i don't see it as a problem because we have a general requirement for that anyway. so i don't know that there is a harm in reiterating it. >> do you have an example that we can pull from? is there any way we can get an example? >> we can look into that and see if we can find something. >> that would be great. thank you. >> okay, commissioners, the city attorneys office did provide this commission the disclosure options a couple years ago with a memo that the city attorneys office could forward back to you. i believe there were three different options at that time.

>> commissioner john's. >> that was one point. the other point is that we have those dlours -- disclosures not at the beginning of the session, but we have them at the beginning of the item which seems to me to always make much more sense. >> so you are suggesting that maybe when i call the item that i would also ask the commission if there are any disclosures to be made on the item? >> right. >> seems fine, disclosures and recusals. >> it doesn't make a difference? >> it seems fine to do it at once. >> right. commission matters. i'm back and forth on that

one. so. >> yeah. if we could revisit the memo that the city attorney. >> we'll get a hold of that. >> i remember talking about that. >> commissioner johnck? >> there is a couple comments on what's been offered so far. on the committees, i do agree that a little more information item on what the arc can say or do and provide direction or advice is redundant and to include public interpretive display direction on public at interpretive. i think that's good. i guess the other thing on your point about the submittals, can we actually, is it legal for us to actually say that you must submit a

communication to us 72 hours in advance is encouraged. i don't think we can actual require it. >> victoria wong, city attorney. you can certainly set out the rules here for 72 hours advanced submittal in order to be circulation and to ensure full commission consideration. it's a different matter i think whether it necessarily becomes part of the public record. something that someone would submit at the last second to go into record. you can continue it if you haven't had time to consider it. it's not required for you to review something that was just brought in. >> it could open a can of worms. >> commissioners john's idea

on that because he's brought it up several times through several meetings. maybe it's that please be noted commissioners are not required to read submittals within a 24 hours basis. so people look, if i get it and if i have a chaps -- chance to read it, i will read it. like gives us a chance to say look, we'll read it. i definitely don't read it. >> that's been a problem. another thing that has bothered me frequently is that these people have projects and sometimes their consultants spend an -- enormous time and

efforts that's wasted because we don't have time to read it. i wanted the project sponsors or the project opponents who put all this effort into making some presentation to have at least, well it can't be a guarantee but at least a real good shot that the commissioners will have an opportunity to consider their work. there are both things going on and it's such a shame that people pay for this work being done and it's useless. >> commissioners, i understand, i don't have a copy of your proposed revisions of these rules, but our offices are certainly happy to work with the commission to come up with language to address the concerns. >> okay. commissioners, any other comments or questions at this time because this will come back in front of us. right. >> i like your suggestion of making a statement that in order to ensure full

consideration, otherwise commissioners may not be able to have the time appropriate to respond. >> or not required. >> i think we have to be careful because sometimes people do find out about something right before. not because they are lazy, but because they didn't know about it and it's an issue they want to hear. >> to the point exactly. >> that may happen. i think it probably almost never happens. as i see these reports prepared by attorneys and architects. certainly a week in advance. >> all right. opposed public comment. >> public comment where it might be a neighbor something like that. >> that's different. we always pay attention to them anyway. >> it's the 10 page analysis. >> right. it took 2 weeks to write it. >> okay. i think we are done

with this item. if i can reopen commission matters before we adjourn. the second meeting in may we are going to approach the local interpretations of the secretary standards. this is going to be a long process. this will be meeting one for us on this and we have a facilitator that mr. fry has brought in which is great. so what we'll do is either off site so it's more of a round table discussion than this setting because it's more collaborative that it does not encourage the collaboration we are going to need on this. this will be, mr. fry if you want to speak further on this. mr. michael. >> yes, tim fry, department staff. we are working with vince mikel as commissioner

hasz about the facilitator to work on the standards and the origins and how they have been used and applied over jurisdictions over time and to set the stage not only with this commission but the staff and the public on what sort of goals we should set and direction we should go in developing a guidelines document which we hope to have more robust discussions on towards the end of this year. so again, as commissioner hasz mentioned mr. ion an is looking for a site where we can have this special meeting and we certainly want to broadcast it as much as possible to encourage the public to participate as well. >> what's the date for that? >> it will be may 21st as your regularly scheduled hearing that is being proposed to not cancel but to move off site

for a more conducive discussion. >> will that meeting be recorded? or televised? >> that is an item that does not appear on your agenda. but i did have a conversation with sf gov. tv. san francisco television to make sure that it is recorded that it is on-site for people who could not attend. >> if there is nothing further i would like to make an announcement under commission matters, my direct back up and you will be seeing her when she officially starts. she'll be shadowing me.

>> great. if nothing else, we'll close this meeting.

all those things are great stories for on opera. i was leaving behind a little bit which those collaborative dancers i was really trying to focus on opera. a friend of mine said well, what would you really want to do i said opera what is it not opera parallel. why isn't it are that i have the support now we can do that. i realized that was something that wasn't being done in san francisco no other organization was doing this as opposed to contemporary we are very blessed in san francisco to have

organizations well, i thought that was going to be our speciality >> you create a conceptual idea for setting the opera and you spear ahead and work with the other sdierndz to create an overview vision that's the final product felt opera. ♪ ♪ ♪ ♪ >> i was very inspired to work with him because the way he looked at the key is the way i looked at sports looking at the daily. >> so much our mandate is to try to enter disis particular work there's great dancers and theatre actresses and choirs we've worked with and great video artists is a great place

>> to address these concerns, i have made a series of amendments to the resolution that capture the spirit of the policy but would allow continued conversation with the task force and other stakeholders about how we do metering. i believe strongly that the city needs to start developing toes to help create affordable housing. in our housing element alone, we talk about building a 60% affordable, but we are currently not doing that. it is important to start the discussion about creating tools of measuring our affordable housing and creating tools to enforce that. i grew up in new york city, one to my parents who had immigrated here to the u.s. actually, i started really becoming active in working with the community when i was in high school. came out to california for college, went to stanford.

i was always politically involved. when i was a college student, i worked on the initiative to get rid of affirmative action in our public government system. currently, we have 3 legislative items that are pending. the first is going to be coming to a final vote on tuesday, our mid-market uptown tenderloin task exemption legislation. it is basically an incentive to encourage businesses to come to mid-market. in particular, where we have the highest commercial vacancy. and then when i graduated, moved out to san francisco about 12 years ago. i always loved sanford cisco in college, and i just wanted to try it out. i started working in economic development policy. i was a community organizer for six years. i worked with young people,

parents, and families around issues that concern our neighborhoods, whether it was improving muni lines, affordable housing, public schools, or just planning issues in neighborhoods. we just had a hearing last week, and we are trying to do some work around bedbug enforcement, which is a major issue in the tenderloin and of hill and 63. a hearing will actually be on thursday, april 7, 10:30. we're doing our first hearing on pedestrian safety. i think public safety is a huge concern. it ranges from both low-level crimes to pedestrian safety, and so that is a really important issue to me. we are probably more than double what every other district has. and that are preventable. and we can do better. district 6 is one -- home to one of the most diverse constituencies. we have the poorest residents in

san francisco. we have lgbt. we have immigrants, people of color, youth, and a high proportion of seniors in the city as well. we heard that people want to see more jobs, want to see access to more jobs for our residents. we want to see more preventive instead of just reactive. we want to see after-school programs versus the police picking them up because they are out on the street, which i think our chief agrees with. i actually ran for the board of education in san francisco and got to serve a term on our school board. what really surprised me was how much i enjoyed it. i loved it. i love meeting with families, meeting with youth, meeting with teachers, visiting schools, and getting a deeper understanding of what it means to make our system work better. the one thing i really enjoyed was i got to run within a district instead of citywide,

was that i really got to know voters and residents. i actually enjoy campaigning more because i had time to knock on doors and the voters individually. i'd love it. i actually really enjoyed being out on the field. so i spent a lot of time doing it because i got to really get a deeper understanding of what people care about and what people's concerns are and also what people loved about the district and the city. i was talking with the mayor yesterday. he was very interested in seeing how the good work with our office -- how he could work with our office. i would love to see how we could support small businesses because they are the heart at san francisco. they provide 60% 07% of the jobs in sanford cisco, and they provide it locally, and they are not going to offshore their jobs any time. i am not an opponent of cleaning up the tenderloin. i love the tenderloin. i love what is right now. i recognize we have a diversity

of books that live there and people do not want to see open drug dealing. i do not have a problem with people lit think -- people out on the street socializing. i think that is good. that to me is more -- you know, it is part of the character of the neighborhood. i get to represent one of the most exciting and dynamic districts in the city. it is where change is happening, so i think it is exciting in terms of how we can model what it means to be a smart growth neighborhood, how we can use transit and housing effectively to serve our city and also to do a lot of the new green policies that we have developed over the last 10 years.
