tools for the ballots measures. and 8, 10 to within one and harvey milk club and supervisor campos and supervisor mar and supervisor campos for their strong co-sponsorsship and others who spent hundreds and hundreds on this starting from this lady's hundreds of days to make that a reality. before us today board is a measure this is a policy statement again memorializing the list of agreements. i said again, we were not able to come to an agreement on everything but that discussion didn't end today that we'll be able to do this dactylothere a ballot so complaegz colleagues,

i ask for your support and supervisor mar >> i want to first thank supervisor kim for her hard work and staff coming out of the san francisco tenant conferences it was one of the critical measures along with the splatter taxi optional opposes to some but i'll move forward this when the organized with involved if the process i feel that 33 percent goals for affordable housing are way, way too allow given the balance and element even the association of the government recommendations that if we build housing well ero 60 percent should be affordable for the people that live here many organizations are not supportive of this but if the affordable

housing community and others are supportive but in the interest of moving forward to protect the soul of the city and work together to build the housing i'm going to be supportive but i have hesitation with how the movement and but i know it wasn't easy to come up with a strong policy statement and an effort to pull in different groups i support that effort. >> supervisor breed. >> thank you. i want to thank supervisor kim for her leadership on this issue. i was extremely concerned about the rehabilitation of the affordable housing in my district and the i think ability to allow for development opportunities that would in especially pay for the 0 projects. i know we have a lot of affordable housing to build in this city i also expressed

serious concerns about who gets the access to that housing that's another issue do moving forward it is a balance it's a first step but definitely more as a city we need to do to insure that people that need those heirs and need their housing units rehabbed and get it take care of and we need to do that more rapidly and looking forward to finding more idea and pitting on and on those on the table so thank you, again supervisor kim for your leadership >> supervisor kim. >> thank you supervisor breed and supervisor mar. i want it emphasis what supervisor mar said this was not easy have mixed feeling i know that not everyone is on the same board but i want to emphasize we have a clear focus on the

displacement and insuring solid coalition support so this will be on the ballot and important piece to stabilize our residents >> supervisor campos. >> thank you, mr. president thank you supervisor kim and her staff for all the work if the housing balance and all the community folks that have worked on that proposal as well. as i noted during committee i'll be supporting had to be on the ballot. i think voters should have the option with that said, it's a sdroip vote i believe in the housing balance we had what i believe is one of the most effective tools that we could have had to address this crisis.

and i think that the way in which supervisor kim and her staff framed the housing balance initiative was a very simple and yet creative way of actually doing something that did something in response to this crisis. respectfully even though i support the voters having the choice of voting on had i don't know that this does anything other than to make a statement and i believe that we need to do more than make statements when faced with this affordability crisis. i'm all for finding compromise and finding a mid ground but we gave up putting a housing balance measure on the ballot

and i don't know if we got any concrete but the exploration down the road i don't think we need exploration but action. and so it's a very unfortunate thing and i think t a sad day. i want to thank the tenants especially and the residents who have been advocating wearing the yellow shirts for the housing balance. and so thank you. >> thank you supervisor campos. president chiu >> thank you. i want to first acknowledge supervisor kim and the stakeholders with worked on this and let me say i know the stakeholder that were involved in this conversation helped e held genuine perspectives i do support the agreement that's been be wretched and acknowledge and appreciate that we are 0 not

discriminated against and over a number of years she was been named one of the top lawyers in cancel super lawyer a rising star as the first african-american and lesbian partner at two highly recognized laurmdz in california. part of how i learned about here in addition to the community voices she served as the pro bono council working with terry stewart and enjoyed that and decided to seek for service for the city i ended up finding her and decided to name her i want you to move forward >> thank you supervisor cohen.

agree that with cohen we're lucky she will serve and thank you for putting her name forward and happy to support any former colleague thank you. >> and constituent. >> and thank you supervisor cohen for that reference for hitting the jack pot. colleagues, can we take that without objection same house, same call? this is approved. >> item 61 and 62 were considered by the land use committee at the regular hearing on monday july 28th and forwarded to the board. item 61 is amended with an ordinance to amend the plodding for the requirements for mechanic amusement devices and

remove obsolete provisions and supervisor breed thank you. this item can about because are a of a great business that's been an excellent member but found itself in violation of the arcade violation. in 1982 pinball and arcade were popular they are or folks were concerned of the corruption of our youth so the board of supervisors passed extensive regulations where and when and how our arcade games can be placed in san francisco there are arbitrary try decisions if you're restaurant installed one game you'll have to pay over seven hundred fees and $300

every year therefore you can't have a game between 3 hundred feet of a school or any gas station not an arcade game in other another place located in a cv d. and not after school hours you're required to give the pd police department and the department access to any games as deemed necessary a requirement that is unreasonable but i'm sure it violates the fourteenth amendment of our resolution if you're knowingly in violation the chief of police will immediately impounded you all our games until you pay $25 per game to the san francisco

police department. the times have changed and arcade and on ball games are more of a inch that appeals to people of my age and supervisor farrell's and supervisor wiener's age and so on and so forth. according to the entertainment commission there are only two permitted arcades in the city if kids wanted to play video games they could take out their cell phones. we've spent a lot of time passing laws but we need to go back and review old laws especially who those laws are unduly effecting business owners so this has a pinball lead that enjoy getting to know their neighborhoods it's a true asset of the community it's important we don't let outdated codes

stand in the way of our residents and folks to enlighten their communities so working with the entertainment commission and the police department i wrote regulations for people that want to add a few games. maintain the entertainments oversight roll with bars that have 5 or more games and strengthen the controls against illegal gambling. and streamlining the permit process to bring in line with on the entertainment commission practices. i want to thank supervisor wiener for joining my effort from the beginning and joel's and cain from the entertainment commission and i want to say with us today glen done hyde the

vice president of the traefks and the san francisco pd has representatives here for all their help and support on the issue. i want to thank supervisor kim for covering co-sponsoringing for requiring one permit to at least 5. there's been concerned by increasing the number of machines in bars because of the entertainment commissions for the good neighbor policy they can't do without a policy directly one issue should not be addressed for other issues i'm committed to provide them with the authority to implement the good neighbor policy their worked hard to establish. legislation is not also about pga new laws but taking the time

to fix the old ones and government shouldn't be standing in the way of the fear of updated policies. on the boos of that colleagues, i ask for your support to moving forward today >> thank you supervisor breed for protecting our pinball wizards. >> thank you supervisor breed and taking out the obsolete portion of our planning code and as i was reading i was wondering if many of our small businesses and bars know they have to register if they have a pinball machine that you have to file for a permit. some things i hear about when preparing the new wedging proposal or closely the health

care loopholes how is it an easier process in san francisco i think this clean up legislation is part of that we have a number of bar owns if they have one pinball machine pay a $700 fee and go before a hearing in entertainment commission and probably for the board of appeals we have no evidence to having negative implicates to a neighborhood or community. if we knew those machines in and of itself trishtd to negative outcomes we want small businesses to provide processes and policies to insure the positive outcomes we just don't have the historic outcome if we want to support neighborhood

policies we should use tools like there isn't a nexus between the actual permit and the good neighbor policy. so i'm glaed glad this is moving forward and looking at to playing pinball an hate ashbury when this opens up >> supervisor mar. >> i want to xhooj the entertainment commission leader and to the supervisors talk about the pinball machine i'll come to your districts and play pinball. >> supervisor you are on like donkey connecticut. with that, roll call vote >> item 61.
