3:03 pm
one-year anniversary. so, the crash of the asianic flight 214 occurred at 11:28 a.m. on july 6. the plane carried 291 passengers and 16 crew members. more than half of the passengers were chinese nationals, many of them were students along with a large number of south korean and american nationals as well. three died [speaker not understood] and 181 people were injured with 12 in critical condition. these heroic airfield security officers risked their lives and saved many people and helped kind of many as they suffered on the airfield. today they are also here with many representatives from the service employees international union, their union as well. and i wanted to thank arianna kass nova from seiu and
3:04 pm
[speaker not understood] from the san francisco airport for helping us honor these amazing five public employees. their names are henry choi, who was the first on the scene. so, we talk about first responders. hes was the absolute first person on the seen. also john [speaker not understood], alexis [speaker not understood], ryan [speaker not understood], bernardo [speaker not understood] and i wanted to read a little what each of thea brave folks did. the first on the scene was henry choi who was ~ -- who assisted a flight attendant that was trapped inside a plane. he's been serving as an airfield security officer for seven years. john bekowski found the hand of a flight attendant who had been ejected from the plane to encourage her until help arrived. understand there is a burning plane by them risking their lives hoping the plane does not

blow up while they're saving others. alexis is an 11 year vet with the s.s. airport. he carried three people off the plane and stayed with them, stayed with an elderly woman who could not move a safe distance from the plane ~ and he stayed with her regardless, even though there is the danger of explosion occurring right by him. he risked his life to save others. ryan horn is a 14 year veteran airfield security officer. he helped to coordinate the actions of all the airfield security officers. i believe there's about 20 at the airport, but these five were really critical in helping to save lives. and lastly, number five is bernardo magana who discovered and sought help for critically injured flight attendants and he's been serving at s.f. security officer 12 years. all these airfield security officers provided a great service and are deserving of our appreciation from our city of san francisco. they risked their lives to help save others and on behalf of the san francisco board of
3:06 pm
supervisors and our city and county, i wanted to thank and acknowledge them. i want -- before we ask if other supervisors wanted to say a few words, i wanted to ask if we could show a short clip on their heroism on july 6, 2013. i think we have the video set up and victor lim from my staff will hit play. [video presentation] >> [speaker not understood]. >> [speaker not understood] more than 30 feet from that fire. they were really standing on the wing. i had to get everybody away from the aircraft. >> safety officer mentioned a lot of people walking, walking wounded and people coming off the airplane.

3:07 pm
and knowing i survived it is probably the best [speaker not understood] and i'm only no more than 100 feet away from it. and it was pretty much -- thats was the most i had to choose. do i run or do i stay? because she is in no condition to run. or even so much as move or carry her. but that's when i just [speaker not understood]. and just pray much, did a lot of praying that nothing exploded. and you can hear it in our radio, the recordings of that day. there were sick minutes of us just coordinating everything, working together and getting the assets out to ambulanceseses and everything. >> i see a human flash that catches my eye.
3:08 pm
it can't be [speaker not understood], and there it is, somebody waving at me. and, so, i got on my truck and ran up to him. it was a flight attendant who got ejected from the aircraft.

(applause) >> first of all, to eric mar and the rest of the board of supervisors, i think i can speak for everyone when i say that we are very humbled that the city of san francisco has elected to honor us today. keeping it very short, collectively a we've talked about this over the last year, the question has been, were we trained to do this? but just recently, just speaking solely for myself, i recognize now that it whatant all about what we were trained to do that day or whats was the right thing to do. rather we were doing it because
3:10 pm
people needed our assistance, many of them who couldn't move on their own. so, we just committed ourselves to doing the right thing, and that was helping our fellow man. so, once again, i'd like to thank you very much for honoring us. while only a small percentage of us are being honored today, i'd like to say that i'm very, very honored to work with airfield operations of san francisco. thank you. (applause)

(applause) >> thank you, supervisor mar. and thank you to our amazing first responders. with that, madam clerk, could you please call the item related to the annual budget which would be item 8 through 9 with the exception of 12 through 13? >> purchase student to chart section [speaker not understood], item 8 through 39 except for items 12 to 13 are for introduction purpose he he. the board shall not adopt the budget items, fee ordinanceses and grant resolutionses associated with the annual budget and appropriation ordinance to appropriate the estimated receipts and the annual salary ordinance to enumerate position in the annual budget and appropriation
3:13 pm

3:14 pm
improvement to call for on tuesday, november 4, 2014, to submit to the voters a proposition to 500 million in bonded debt for the city and county to finalize the construction, the acquisition and improvement of certain transtransportation and related transit improvements and costs necessary and authorizing the landlords to pass through a 50% of the resulting property tax increase to residential tenants under administrative code chapter 37. >> supervisor tang. >> thank you. i first of all again want to thank all of the members of the board who have co-sponsored this item along with mayor lee for this general obligation bond. also, of course, again thank sfmta staff and everyone who did participate in the transportation 2030 task force for their thoughtful input on this measure. i was really great to see this item was passed unanimously by the budget committee previously and, of course, the unanimous support from our city family i think really just really demonstrates how important effort this is. as we all know, the
3:15 pm
transportation task force that was convened to ensure that our city's transportation system is reliable and prepared for our future growth, identified $10 billion worth of infrastructure improvements. a lot are need over the next 15 years. i am excited today that we stand united in this proposal to raise 500 million dollars general obligation bond for november to improve our public transportation system so that we can serve not only us, but the generations to come. the great thing about this bond measure is that it is not just about improving our public transportation system. it is also about how we make our roads safe for pedestrians, for bicyclists, for everyone. discussed in the budget and finance committee about 300 million of the 500 million dollars of this bond measure will actually be spent towards achieving our city's vision zero goals where we hope to eliminate traffic related deaths within 10 years. so, i am proud today that we as a city are finally making the necessary investments in the most critical feature of our city and i look forward to everyone's continued support on this item. thank you very much. >> supervisor mar.
3:16 pm
>> thank you, president chiu. i'm also very happy that we're moving this bond forward today. and thank you so much to supervisor tang and the mayor for advancing this with my colleagues. i think that transportation 2030 task force deserves a lot of credit and i think this bond will go a long way to making permanent improvements to [speaker not understood] that was started recently and investing rapid service or geary and other key corridors and arterial streets. i think as supervisor tang said, unity is critical. not only in passing this bond, but also as we move forward like in 2016 with a vehicle license fee and other revenue sources that we need for our transportation system. for us on the west side and southern neighborhoods like my district in the richmond, supervisor tang's in the sunset, supervisor cohen's in the bayview, and avalos in the excelsior, i think there's a need for much more efficient transportation that serves the outer areas of the city, not just the inner core. and the funding that will come
3:17 pm
from this bond will be spent equitably. i'm very proud that the transportation task force and community and transportation advocates have really moved forward and equitable bond that will really help neighborhoods that need it the most. also i'm looking forward to moving this forward as well as the charter amendment that will ensure that there is equity and that the spending is done with accountability as well and for the blf in the coming years, too. i think we need to stand true with our transit first policy in our city, though this year hasn't been as strong as one for transit as i would have liked, but hopefully this bond measure puts us on a great step forward for better transit in our city. >> any further discussion? then colleagues i want to thank all of you for your work on this and for moving this forward. with that let's take a roll call vote on these two items. >> on items 12 and 13, supervisor cohen? cohen aye. supervisor farrell? farrell aye. supervisor kim? kim aye.

3:24 pm
>> thank you, mr. president. colleague, this legislation before us, and i want to thank supervisor kim and supervisor cohen for co-sponsoring the legislation. this measure is a straightforward and common sense way to increase our production of affordable housing in san francisco and it did you so by providing incentive to developers first to do their affordable housing requirement on-site instead of paying a fee. ~ it does so by and do more than the 12% minimum of on-site affordable housing. in fact, at least 67% more by doing at least 20% affordable. the legislation basically provides that if a developer does the affordable housing requirement on-site by producing on-site units and -- and produces at least 20% of the units as affordable, then a the affordable units will not
3:25 pm
count against unit density limits in the project ~. we know that we want developers to put their affordable units on-site instead of paying the fee and we want developers to do more than the minimum requirement of 12% affordable units. however, currently on certain -- in certain zoning classifications in this city, there are limits on a number of units you can put into a particular development based on lot size and at times this means there is space that could be used for housing units that can't be used. and then if we encourage the developer to add more affordable unit, the only way the developer can do that is reduce the number of market rate units that puts the developer in a difficult position and this legislation will help eliminate, by choice the developer will be able to a add affordable units without [speaker not understood] if the developer produceses 20%
3:26 pm
affordable. legislation will also effectively eliminate unit density limits for 100% affordable housing projects. so, colleague, this is a very positive step. we know that we have an affordability crisis in term of housing in san francisco, a population has grown and continue to grow. we need to produce more housing and part of that needs to be more affordable units. we have seen that the fastest way to produce affordable units is through and connection with development and this will give developers one more tool to be able to add additional affordable units. so, this legislation did receive the unanimous support at the planning commission and, colleagues, i ask for your support. >> thank you, supervisor. colleagues, can we take this item same house same call? without objection this ordinance is passed on first reading. [gavel] >> we can take item 50 and 51 related to the transbay transit center. >> item 50 is a resolution of
