sometimes as have the public about the financial incentives of some non profits that send us e-mails or testify on behalf of large development projects. to answer this question, the ordinance includes a new disclosure requirement for developers of major projects who would be required to disclose donations of $5,000 or more to non profits that contact the city. i want to thank supervisor breed for her friendly amendments to make it clear. for the first time after many attempts, this is permanent expediters but adding additional transparency of the work the permit expediters do. we know that over the years, there have been clowns, over the permit expediting world, fbi investigations, concerns of inappropriate influence. and what i hope to do in this legislation is to make it clear and transparent the work that is being done because
2:31 pm
there are many permanent expediters that are doing necessary work. bringing greater transparency to our permanent process will improve confidence and the fairness of the process and the goal of this legislation is to create disclosure to provide the public about permit that's they're being asked to help obtain. i made a change to the legislations regarding -- that every contact that could be potentially overly owner for businesses where they have dozens of contacts with line staff and departments. we eliminate the requirement to report every contact as lobbyist do and instead of requiring quarterly disclosures, we now only -- instead of requiring monthly disclosure, we only require quarterly
2:32 pm
disclosures. i want to make amendments between my office and other expediters. i'm willing to amend the legislation to create a threshold of $1 million before the reporting requirement kicks in. essentially if a permit from dbi or planning is valued and more than $1 million, the requirement will apply: significantly limiting the number of permits by the legislation will allow us to see how this disclosure works in practice or supervisors will be able to lower or raise the threshold as they deem appropriate. i'm willing to remove the requirement for the disclosure of the amount of composition receives which we have heard from some, might hurt the competitiveness of some permit consultants. i propose these changes in the spirit of cooperation with those individuals who are helping, individuals and businesses navigate what can be a confusing and bureaucratic
2:33 pm
process. these amendments that i've circulating and some language, some findings and an effective date of january 1, 2015 are included in the amendments have you in front of you. with that, colleagues, i would first ask for support of these amendment and make that motion for the package amendment and ask for your support. >> thank you president chiu. supervisor breed. >> thank you. thank you supervisor chiu for spear heading this effort. i know that we have been trying to work out the details around the concerns with non profit organizations as it relates to my concern as a former non profit director, but also to some of the challenges that many of these non profits face and the expectations that many of these businesses who come into san francisco should be working with and contributing and to our local economy and working with our non profits and contributing to organizations need support,
2:34 pm
they shouldn't do it with the expectations that these particular organizations would be lobbying on behalf of their project and so i do understand the spirit of what you're proposing and i appreciate your willingness to accept the amendments to clarify that fact as it relates to the non profit organizations. the permit expediter issue was a little bit new, at gao, we talk about it and you were open minded, i believe, and i think that the proposal that you're putting on the table is fair. of the other 20,000 permits issued, on an annual basis by the city, we're looking at based on what your legislation is amending, not to include all 20,000 permits, but a very narrow number of permits which would amount to no more than 300 on average for year with those disclosures are required. i think that's fair and reasonable and
2:35 pm
i'm willing to support this ridge lags and move it forward. >> supervisor breed, would you second the motion on the amendments from present chiu. it's seconded. we have a motion and seconded. if there's no other comments, colleagues can we take the amendments without objection? thank you. and now on the amended legislation, can we take that same house, same call. thank you. so this item is adopted on first reading. madam clerk, next item. >> item 25 is an ordinance to amend the planning code to change the designation of 1000 seven market street to the contributory category three under article 11 and making the findings. >> colleagues, can we take this, same house, same call. this ordinance has passed on the first read. >> i would like to go to our
2:36 pm
2:30 special accommodations. we have one from supervisor campos. >> thank you. thank you very much, mr. president, colleagues. it's my honor and pleasure to recognize a very important member of not only the mission community, but san francisco. and i would ask her to please come up. the amazing valerie tulia. [ applause ] >> well, we don't have enough time to talk about everything that valerie has done and everything that she means to our community, but valerie has been an important
2:37 pm
leader in the areas of youth development, violence prevention and policy advocacy for ten years in mission and the entire san francisco city. what i appreciate so much about valerie is that she's always focused on helping members of our community who have the highest need, and specifically our low income youth of color and their families. as chair of the mission peace collaborative, valerie has been a crucial partner in our community based efforts to address gang violence as well as the margin of our young people. she's always on the ground talking to people, talking to youth, talking to family, providing love and encouragement and to pro providing fierce advocacy for her community. valerie has worked
2:38 pm
on policies that impact the community and helped organize town halls and events that focus on creating peace in our community and to do so in a way that empowers members of that community. for six and a half years, valerie has served as director of the mission beacon center which until this month was run by the mission neighborhood centers. it is in that role that valerie has forged community partnership and developed a working model with youth that not only has helped youth, but has developed leadership in youth. due to her ongoing commitment to this leadership model, her staff well under the age of 30 at the mission beacon and she saw her role as developing their skills, inabilities while they acted as role models for younger people. in that role, she was tagged mamma
2:39 pm
bear and this name was given to her because she growl at the youth when necessary. but at the same time she protected her young with fierceness and courage. we're not entirely clear how city agencies come to decide when to change the management or the structure of a program, but we are grateful for the incredible work that valerie has done at the mission beacon for the last six years. a little bit about valerie history. she was born in houston texas and moved to san francisco's mission district when she was 13 years old. she went to horse man at mission high schools. and because of the extreme poverty, her family moved to sunny dale for six years until she moved her family back to the mission where she spent her adult years. she is extremely proud of her
2:40 pm
heritage, mexican, apochi and porta rican. valerie attended san francisco university where she learned about her political identity as a woman of color, evolving from being latino to the understanding of being a latino who has been impacted by the black panthers and the indian movement. while in college, valerie as a member of the only female low rider car club. frisco latin queens, and while still in college, she gave up her low rider to raise a foster daughter and continued in that path raising four foster youth all together. they have all given her grand children though i think that valerie will always be a low rider at heart. valerie
2:41 pm
life work has always been to help other people. she worked at rap, the real alternative program and the san francisco conservation core as the education coordinator. she has taught ged classes, has worked as a district representative for california state senator carol mingdon and for the past six years have worked at the beacon center. in her life, she has earned three degrees and her bachelor. and it's truly by leading about example for valerie, and my office and i cannot imagine how we would do our job without having valerie in the community and we wanted to take this opportunity and i would ask those of you if you're able who are in the audience to recognize
2:42 pm
valerie to please stand so that she can see all the -- thank you. [ applause ] >> valerie, you can see that whatever happens in the end, it is the community that knows what you're really about and your community loves you and will ever be grateful and in debited for everything you have done and as supervisor and as your friend, it has been an honor and a privilege for me to be able to work with you. >> thank you very much. [ applause ] >> i know we still have two
2:43 pm
minutes on the board chamber. but i have a couple of words. i've been taught to honor the ancestors that was here before me. i will ask my rocks to stand by me, my husband and son and my community of beacon staff, youth and other steamed community members. years ago, i had a dream. i saw myself moving upward and as i moved upward i brought others with me. and this -- this is a vision in my dream. i've always been taught in a native way when we have something we should give it away. i'm honored today so i'm going to give my
2:44 pm
honoring away to my family and to my community. i don't act alone and i don't act for myself, so i cannot stand here by myself in the indigenous tradition, we have to think about what we did today will effect seven generations to come. here we have the next generation that has been taught through community love and support. the san francisco bay area has a history of political movement and i all my teachings to that history, to that rich history, we have the black panthers that started the breakfast club and we have the chicano movement. the pacific islanders and the asian immigration ex pans at angel island and the eye hotel and of course the first nation's people, the occupation -- all these struggles resistance happened because of injustice existed. i'll continue to have that spirit running through my blood and i'm
2:45 pm
unashamed to continue their unfinished work. mission beacon has been a hub of community meetings and partnerships with 30 organizations to enhance the youth. some of this is partnership with parent and more than $10,000 in scholarships for extra occur rick lar activities awarded by venture foundation. we have produced bi annual parent university and annual college weeks and career days through our partnership. a direct quote, beacon is not a program. it is family. thank you to you all and thank you supervisor campos for being courageous and honoring me today. thank you all. thank you. [ applause ]

president chiu. and good afternoon, supervisors. henry ford once said, coming together is the beginning. keeping together is progress. working together is success. as supervisor chiu mentioned t was ten years ago on june 1, 2014, the private foundations and community base organizations came together to explore how to coordinate efforts to support and strengthen san francisco families. they co-founded the network that day. the san francisco network -- the san francisco family network is a key of these stakeholders to work collective toly achieve quality programs, coordination of resources and policies that support all san francisco families. we have kept together and worked together over the last decade growing from more than 20 organizations when we first started to more than 60 today. a number of whom you see here
2:50 pm
beside me from first five san francisco, richmond district neighborhood center, the childcare planning and advisory council and san francisco human have advices agencies, so that's a diverse partnership of organizations that's apart of this strong network. with a team -- with a staff team of three leverages by the representatives of our membership who serve on the network's various committees and the consistent and much appreciated financial support of our funder members we have engaged in dynamic ground breaking work in training, policy promotion, coordination and quality practice. in the area of training, the network innovated unique trainings to meet the needs of family support providers such as the case management passbook training series that covers the fundamental issues and practices for direct staff working with high need families. and creating a training on
2:51 pm
developing and sustaining effective parent advisory committee, co-taught with a parent leader and the only training of its kind offered in the entire state. in the area of policy, the network developed and implemented the policy platform and issued a revised a version in 2012. this isn't a pretty document that sits on a shelf, but it's strategies we'll report back in the community of may of each year at the san francisco economic successful forum which president chiu has been apart of since the beginning and been a speaker at each and every forum and we invite all our other elected officials in showing your support. the network has showed -- key issues effecting san francisco families which
2:52 pm
lead to the successful economic council in 2008 and they provide backbone support and leadership. finally in the area of quality practice, the san francisco family support network created the standards -- created standards for providing, planning and assessing quality practice with families in 2007. these standards have now become the license to drive for anyone working with families here in san francisco whether in family resource centers, early care and education centers, or home programs or community schools. their use insures that families are supported. not only has this worked for the families in san francisco, but has proven much greater in its impact beyond. in 2009 the
2:53 pm
network co-founded the california network of family strengthen network comprised of networks like us across the state and in 2011, we supported the co-founded the national network comprised of state wide network. the standards for families strengthening and support is used coast to coast across the country having been adopted by the national network in 2013. looking forward, the challenges facing san francisco families are great. but they are not greater than our collective will and our potential collective impact to work together with our elected officials, many members and other stakeholders to address them. we invite you all to continue to partner with us in the next ten years to achieve our mission for a san francisco
