safety design criteria for those new infrastructure. on the other hand several safety bills that we were in support of tracking over the year were vetoed by the governor, that includes abc15 32 specifically relating to pedestrians and bicyclists. the governor's veto message indicated that he thought the increase of penalties was an unfair burden and that the existing penalties were enough. so this is something there was a lot of momentum behind the bills this year and anticipate next year this will also come up. and of course, given vision zero and other efforts woring with sfmta and the mayor's office to move those types of bills forward a. as the next session ramps up we'll bring the transportation authority bills to you and working in

coordination with city partners on developing that. next year in addition, to the pedestrian and bicycle safety bill we anticipate that the the legislature is going to folk on california's funding crisis for transportation and in particular mark has said they will focus on bills that reduce the voter threshold for measures for transportation and other local revenue measures. with that, i'm happy to answer any questions. commissioner tang has a question. >> that you.are, not really a question, but although i completely understand why governor brown had vetoed certain pieces of legislation, especially about increased fines, i have said this to staff, ta staff as well, but looking forward to working with the tato figure out how we can improve safety around our school zones. i know we lowered the speed limits in school zones in san francisco, but there would be more done whether

infrastructure wise or more things and so in any case looking forward to working with the ta on that. >> thank you. let's take public comment on this item. public comment is now open. seeing no public comment. public comment is closed. thank you for your presentation. madame clerk, is there a motion for this item? >> it is informationally. >> thank you. could you please call the next item. >> award of you athree-year professional services contract with an option to extend for two additionat one-year periods to sptj consulting in an amount not to exceed $50,000 for commuter network and maintenance services. >> good morning, miss wong. >> this is a routine administration item. it's a contract for transportation authority's

computer network and maintenance and services which include desktop computers hardware, software, our computers, our phones, our servers and data backup and retrievals and disaster recovery preparation. the current it provider right now is on-site at least once a week and comes as necessary when issues come up. when we do have smaller issues we try to triage that within the office, with the help of the deputy director for technology and data analysis. we issue and rfp back in july 30th and with the goal of 25% lbe and dbe, local business enterprise and disadvantaged business enterprise goals. we received two proposals. a third proposal actually came in, but came in after the submission deadline. we advertised the rfp at the

chronicle, examiner, the bay company and we also included this in the ta's list of small disadvantaged services. the bay area and cultural chamber of commerces and small business councils. the internal panel consists of three members from various divisions within the transportation authority and all three members felt they would like to award the contract to sptj the current consultant we have here. we have had two large projects such as the office move to market street and we just recently went live with with our enterprise accounting system. they actually proposed that 83% on dbe -- we have brought

this item before the cac, on october 1st and there was a motion of support, a unanimous motion of support for the item. we have budgeted this in fiscal year 14-15 adopted transportation budget for future years we would ensure there would be prop k funds available to meet the needs. with that i am seeking a recommendation for pay 3-year professional services contract with sptj. with that i am happy to answer questions and i also have someone from sptj to answer questions. >> the company that missed the

2:00 deadline -- >> what we actually go an extra step at the ta. in our building we have a pretty heavy-duty security system and place somebody before the security to receive these submissions. so no one actually has to go through and spend extra time. they are not black-listed from any transportation authority, but we need to be fair to the other people who did turn the rfp in and only consider those and not consider the one that came in late. >> understand that completely. do we just double-check to make sure there were no technologically glitches that prevented? >> yes, in this case, the firm said they have traffic issues. >> okay. >> that is why they were delayed. >> that is too bad. next time. well, seeing there are no members on this body that have comments. let's open for public comment on the item. i would like to entertain public comment on item no. 4.

>> i definitely recommend it to people. it's a fun afternoon and you learn so many things. >> this is so much fun. i go to parts of the city that i don't come to. this will make the city a more susta >> good morning. welcome to the board of supervisors legislation i'm scott wiener the chairman of the committee to my left is supervisor malia cowen our vice chair is supervisor jane kim will be joining us

shortly your clerk is andrea he want to thank jim smith for broadcasting today's hearing i want to know from members in attendance if we reach capacity in the seating area of this board chasms we'll have an overflow room in the agenda we will hear the first few items and item 3 relating to short-term rentals and if we don't finish up by 1:30 we have a special order which will be items four and five relating to interim controls in a portion of the south of market area and we'll go to that and after that is done we'll return to short-term rentals to compete

that i want to remind people of our board rule which is for people not to pack audio prrld sounds it disrupts the proceedings and makes it sometimes exchanging for people to have equal time to make the public comments so if you want to express approval or disapproval do it in a silent way thumps or any announcements? >> yes. please silence all electronic devices. all files and documents to be submitted to the clerk items acted upon today will appear on the october 7, 2014, board of supervisors agenda unless otherwise states. >> thank you very much item one. >> item one is supporting and encouraging the development to prohibit of the transportation of hazard materials. >> and commissioner renne is

the author of item one and madam clerk i'm e i'd like to add my name as a co-sponsor. >> thank you very much colleagues thank you for hearing this important item today, the resolution you have a before you builds off the work by our department of transportation of the environment the commission on the environment as well as the port to advance policies that prohibit the transport of hazardous materials like crude oil those hazardous materials are a hazard to our environment and the shipment of the materials are increasing throughout the country concluding northern california and resulted in more than one million gallons of crude oil from cars in the last 4 decades while the media attention is on

the real estate of the waterfront development our port has an xribl maritime potential a few months ago i was approached by advocates about the cargo facility specific that it might one day be used to transport o hazardous materials while our port and port commission has a leadership ability to guide us by consistently rejecting patrols from companies that are seeking to transport those materials through our terminals and as policymakers i see it as our job to insure this policy continues to be applied long after we're gone from this current leadership and long

after the current leadership of the port has moved forward on it's no secret with the low income community of color like the bay area community has suffered will bear the brunt of this type of activity so this resolution is simple it simply requests that the city development develop a set of policies and regulations for the board of supervisors on how to continue to prohibit the transport of those hazardous materials both our city i don't believe that we have yet have all of the answers as to how to best go about doing this but i think it is important for this legislation body for the e city of san francisco to express

a strong opposition about the strong opposition that the negative impact will have on those communities as well as our environment we have brad benson with us today where are you brad great he's a representative from the port that will provide the commending committee with a briefing for pier 96 to help prevent the transformation of those materials thank you brad for coming and good afternoon commissioner renne and supervisor wiener representing the ports executive director and commissioner johns we want to thank you this is about what kind of port the city of san francisco whats wants to have i have a short presentation about

five minutes we've got the director of the environment here to speak if you could ask the clerk to present the power point okay. great so supervisor cohen we have the ports jurisdiction running from fisherman's wharf down to pier 96 the area we're talking about today is really the area shown in the white circle at the bottom of the slide pier 80 through 96 marine terminals i'll describe in a little bit more detail the port as diverse

maritime lines in the southern waterfront we're handling bulk cargos at the auto piers 9 it through 96 terminals primarily focused around sand from the bay and aggregates men sent to patching companies located on the ports property part of a maritime and eco context we are developing we've introduced heads park and the wetlands and the city's recycle in the area we try to correlate businesses that used truck trips and the minimumtion of pollution in the area so the opportunity that we are currently considering for this area is an iron ore

terminal a clean operation different from the petco oil terminals that the resolution is concerned with and we'll show that in a moment so first about cool supervisor cowen mentioned a fight over the cool environmentalists have been making sure they can fight the impacts of the fats coals is a major 2r0ir7b9 to green house gases and it's classified as a hazardous material coal dust is flammable when you development a terminal to handle this it has to be designed to electrical codes to handle the explosive rifksz and trains do so

uncovered introducing dust to surrounding you community and in terms of israel requests complicated infrastructure whether or not tour exporting or importing oil it is an expensive infrastructure to contain the oil while waiting for executor or pending it's delivery inland this is not appropriate for san francisco the port of san francisco is surrounded by mixed use neighborhoods and introducing this kind of hazardous materials to the port is inappropriate petco to the port has not known about the petting go in the past it's handled by regional ports close to refineries in the area

petco has hazard associated with coal it's highly flammable in the bottom left-hand side it is prone to dust there is piles of materials the wind is kicking up dust not the type of material for san francisco it is like coal on stare resides like the climate change is high in context and high in dirty fuel associated with climate change that is where we're looking at an iron ore terminal it's the last opportunity for all the other terminals are leased up on an annual basis why

are we looking iron ore because we think there's a long-range market there's there's capacity out of the nevada mines it's exported to the far east for steel manufacturer this is when you decide that it is a long term market we're not southern this is a long term market and there's an citizens advisory committee we've got an iron ore not combustible not contributing to the seawall rise those are the things that the port prefers

iron ore over the other comedies it can't be exposed to moufl it is particularly transported no covered cars and stored and conveyed to ship systems in a way that's covered as well so we are very concerned about dust at the port of san francisco we think this is a priority that can be moved without creating dust impacts on our community and facility designed this way can't be used to handle coal or petco it doesn't have the special electrical code provisions that are required for handling highly flammable or explosive materials so supervisor we're going to pursuing pursue a competitive

bid and oil and petco will be dislauded and in terms of the environmental review with the planning department we proposed to perform sequa only on iron ore handling and not petco oil so no sequa cleaners to handle those we'll use our contract operator agreement to prohibit the oil for the term of the contract and the facility will be designed for iron ore and not designed for those other materials 0 we appreciate the opportunity to talk with you about the clean maritime activities and welcome our feedback thank you. >> thank you very much thanks brad it was good to hear that report another report.

>> yes. debbie. >> hi debbie. >> good morng, supervisors good morning. thank you for this opportunity i want to put the context that the department of the environment started the conversation with the president of the commission and he's hear to talk about his role in that what our role has been since that point to continue the conversation to bring together the activists community and concerned citizens as well as the port this is a port jurisdictional area our purpose to bring in as many voices as possible we believe the solution that the port offered to you today and lulthd is a great step it's important to note that the documents that the port is putting together this contract language this sequa language can be used as a model for other

jurisdictions that also want to have bulk facilities in their port areas but make sure those don't transition into coal or petco oil so the documents the work in san francisco we believe has relevance to be reciprocated throughout the west coast and furthermore, it gives us time to look at the legal possibility to further the statement beyond this this is a great first step and one the port is looking at. >> thank you very much let's see if the president josh why don't you speak. >> hi supervisors thank you very much for calling for the resolution josh for our sake serving on the commission of the environment our director debbie

re, if you will, fell mentioned something we are happening and supervisor cohen there's nothing that is like the options of hearing like the supervisors at the board of supervisors is taken up the issues and i think the thing that is key in this really the port has been sdooement the type of leadership in putting together a proposal with respect to the 96 facility it still has some things we have to do to make that work but unprinted in the record to have dirty fuel is unpresented the fuel commission is about uplifting the leadership by the ports and the staff and jay hawk

and jim malone people that have been saying no time and time again supervisor cohen you've helped to make this official starting with pier 96 it is environmental justice measure that the community will not be polluted with the handling of the transportation materials apart from the creating the type of green house gases and i know there is excitement we want to have the community and have workers and collaboration and we couldn't thank you enough for calling the hearing that got us to today and got us thinking as we work with you and the port to do something special it already is. >> thank you very much president. >> mr. chair

you think we're ready for public comment. >> i don't have any public utilities speaker cards on item one so if there's anyone that wants to make public comment on item one please come up and we'll call you in the order so public comment will be two minutes. >> file them together a few weeks ago from the el cerrito so if i talk too much on the passengers you know based on the commissioner holy commissioner out to perform something everywhere better than a few pitching to the people not just a way to the christian or the other way but dawn itching and

bud itching and the principle holy way study also want to talk about the holy study i'm not sure i appeared in court the richmond court municipal please. >> yeah. >> thank you. next speaker, please. >> good morning, supervisors my name is jackie undermining the executive director of the institute in san francisco i'm here in support of the city's effort for a cleaner san francisco this summer i ran a youth k3wr0ish9 program with little youth for the properties along the southeast waterfront they learned much more about the way they look at cargo away way and illinois street we teach them to
