moved here 5 years ago and i will tell you my personal experience that the imperial council of san francisco has been the pillar of my social well-being in the city. now my role as treasurer for the imperial council i can attest to to you that we have a long track record of success. we report to and subscribe to guide star dot org for 990 forms for our tax returns just to show you that we have our integrity and we have our consistency and we are a well prepared and organized organization. in 50 years we have raised over a million dollars and just last year alone we raised $60,000, all for charity. our vision for february 2015 and the use of the seal will slud fie our long time relationship with the city and to show the world that we

have the support and long time relationship with the city supervisors and the whole city of san francisco. thank you. >> thank you very much. next ozzie monet. >> good morning, supervisors, as many of you know, i come down to city hall a lot and talk about different issues around the city, but the san francisco imperial council does great work. it even helps with self-esteem, i even lip synch to lou rawls from time to

time. when i found out about the imperial council it was an election and i was passing the power house down in the folsom area and donna sachet was sitting there and she explained what was going on. i had my id so i voted but then i joined the ducal council. please please pass the resolution for the 50th anniversary of the imperial council. they do great work. i know the money goes to the community, it really really does. every dollar. so please keep that in mind and when you think about what they do and where the money goes you can look at me because some of the organizations that they raise

money for i have had to depend on in the past. so it really works. so thank you very much. >> thank you very much, mr. roberts. >> good morning, supervisors, my name is bradly roberts, i'm the 40th emperor and my first time speaking in front of the city council. it is with great honor that i am here to speak to you. i first became acquainted with the imperial council of san francisco at marlena's bar, which is now closed, at one of their functions on a sunday afternoon which they had quite often and i sat down next to a gentleman, john carillo, a former emperor of san francisco and got to speaking with him and he told me all about it. i was quite moved and so moved that years later i myself became an emperor of san

francisco. the imperial council of san francisco has raised lots of money for charities in san francisco and in other cities. with pomp and circumstance and tongue in cheek performances, even employing pets like my dog who has raised thousands of dollars for paws, i am also happy to say that the money that we raise does go to all the charities in san francisco, including services, hiv services like magnet, which i was unfortunate to have to go to and use but was happy they were there for me. so i implore you to pass the resolution to recognize the imperial council of san francisco on their 50th anniversary gala. thank you. >> thank you very much. is

there any additional public comment? come forward, please. >> sure is easy shemale totally disgusting that they treat special all intention to keep people of true talent that have success in society. i mean most of us beyond the age of 50 this is maybe 15, 20 years ago. it's no big deal for any proudly serving (inaudible) 15 or 20 years is

gone. (inaudible). >> are there any other members of the public who would like to make public comment at this time? seeing none, public comment is now closed. >> so again, colleagues, thank you, madam chair, thank you everyone in the community who came out today to provide context and to support the resolution and so madam chair i would request that the committee adopt the resolution proffered by the clerk of the board and then would request that the resolution be forwarded to the full board with a positive recommendation. >> thank you. president chiu. >> thank you, madam chair , and first of all let me say that i don't think the comments of the last speaker reflect the views of most san franciscoans and certainly i don't think anyone on our san francisco board of supervisors i want to thank supervisor wiener for this resolution which i am happy to cosponsor. i think we are all looking forward to the celebration of the 50th anniversary of the imperial council, not just because of the deep history of the

imperial council, not just because of the anniversary of empress saria but this is an organization that i think reflects the very best of what service and community service is about in san francisco and i think we all look forward to this celebration here in our wonderful city hall. so with that i'm happy to move this motion and hope we can move it to the full board. >> okay, and first of all i'd like to say that i didn't even understand the last speaker so i'm surprised that you got anything out of that, president chiu, but i just want to commend the imperial court of san francisco for their commitment to community service. they live by example and it's pretty amazing the organizations that they support. i run into people in my district who are constantly fund raising in order to raise money for some of these great

organizations that i have had the pleasure of working with in my community, the art, open hand, the shanti project. these are the things that help change people's lives and the work that's done by the imperial court of san francisco helps to generate a lot of money to help these organizations continue their mission and it means a lot to me as a member of the board, not only am i happy to support this i'd love to have my name added as a cosponsor, not just because i want a medal like scott wiener but because i want the imperial court of san francisco to know that they have a lot of support from their elected leadership here in the city and that we want to do everything we can to give you the tools necessary to carry this legacy on. so thank you for your work and with that, supervisor president chiu has made a motion to accept the

amendments from the clerk of the board to add an additional whereas clause. mr. gibner, do we need to repeat that particular motion for the specifics or are we okay? >> deputy city attorney john gibner. no, you are okay to go. >>ment chiu has made the motion for acceptance of the motion, is there a motion to move this forward with full recommendation to the board of supervisors. >> so moved. >> moved by supervisor tang, without objection this resolution is moved to the full board of supervisors. >> there is no further business. >> great, meeting is adjourned. (meeting adjourned).

i was just driving around minding my own business... when it came out of nowhere. suddenly, there were lights all around me. i'm like, "they're coming for me!" yeah, it was crazy. i just never thought they'd find me. not out here. it doesn't matter where you drive. if you don't buckle up, you will get caught. cops are cracking down all across the country. click it or ticket.

san francisco 49ers. we put on productions since i have steadily been producing theatrical productions since 1993. that area we established, 533 sutter street has become a cultural icon for the city of san francisco and i currently hold a beer and wine license and i wasn't aware i could hold a general theater license because i was misinformed when i originally applied for my type 42 license about 10 years ago. i'd like to be able to provide professional concessions to my customers because we have dignitaries and cultural people from all over the world coming to the productions and i'd like to give them world class professional service that represents our fine city. >> great, thank you very much. if you can just briefly say a little about any outreach that you've done in terms of this specific application.

>> yes, i am pretty well known in the neighborhood and have reached out to every neighbor on the block on both sides and have received their endorsement from the hotel rex across the street, hotel cartwright, the ups store, the union square wine and spirits liquor stores, just about every merchant on the block. >> great, thank you very much. the district supervisors, this is in district 3, supervisor chu's district and he is supportive of this application. why don't we hear now from our police department. >> good morning, supervisors, roberto duarte with the liaison unit. this is in records to 533 sutter street, the shelton

theater. matt shelton has filed an application seeking a type 64 license for thee terse. this particular application will take over the kurblt application which is a type 42 for which the board passed a resolution back on september 22, 2009. the change in the type will allow the shelton theater to serve distilled spirits aside from beer and wine and none of the conditions originally placed back in 2009 will change. it should be noted that during the application process there was a notification of 500 foot mailer was done on august 20, 2014 and there was also a notice posted on august 14, 2014 and for the purpose of this hearing the california department of alcoholic bef rage control seeks notification by the board of supervisors as to this license. police reports zero was port of posted for 533 shelton

on this item? (inaudible) recommendation and if we can take that without objection. thank you very much, congratulations. mr. clerk, do we want to take items 2 and 3 together? if we can call items 2 and 3 together, thank you. >> item no. 2 is a resolution authorizing the fire department to dough naitd obsolete ambulance to the emergency medical services academy of the cilt college of san francisco. item no. 3 is resolution authorizing the fire department to donate 30 obsolete self-contained breathing apparatus to the city college of san francisco. >> great, thank you very much and we have mike corso >> good morning, mr. chair, fellow supervisors, mike corso, fire department, here to present the next two items which are donations of obsolete fire department equipment to the city college. the

department works closely with them on a variety of training topics. this legislation would allow the department to donate obsolete equipment to their training curriculum, self-contained breathing packs and an ambulance. these objects have no use for the department any longer, the department updated its breathing apparatus with a federal grant last year and the ambulance has been retired by the city and the department due to its age and usage is no longer operational on city streetds. all the equipment donated will be used by ccsf strictly by training props and not in any emergency situation and any liebltd will be covered by city college. i'll be happy to answer any questions you may have. >> thank you very much. supervisor yee. >> thank you very much. of course i'll be happy to support working with the city college in terms of partner ship. i

guess if the equipment is obsolete and they are going to train students using this equipment, are they training them on obsolete methods also? >> not necessarily. for example for the breathing packs it's more to get used to the weight and have that as an operational impact. what that actually feels like, what it has -- there's air bottles they are going to be doing the replacement of it. it's not obsolete in the sense that no departments use it nationwide, but from the department's perspective we have upgraded to the latest compliance of equipment and no longer need it in our operations. for the ambulance it will be kind of stationed and will get the students familiar with how things are laid out in the ambulance, it's not in actual driving capacity. >> thank you. >> thank you very much. colleagues, any other comments or questions? seeing none, thank you, mr. corso, why don't we open it up to public comment on this item. is there any

public comment on this item? go ahead. >> just two days, city central (inaudible) very simple. sky working free for all without. >> thank you, sir. seeing no other public comment we will close public comment. colleagues, may we have a motion to move these two items forward? >> so moved. >> motion by supervisor mar if we can take that without objection. >> without objection. >> thank you very much. now, mr. clerk, if you can please call our fourth and final item. >> item no. 4 is a resolution urging the successful urge between the united supervisor to avoid a strike and an interruption of the education of san francisco students. >> great. this is an item that was introduced by

supervisor mar and i was glad to be a co-sponsor. i was also co-sponsored by supervisors cohen and avalos. >> i would also like to thank our board president but also ken from united i had kators san francisco for joining us today. this is a resolution that urges a resolution to the potential labor negotiation going on with the teachers and parents within the district. i also twoopbt say as a former school board president like supervisor yee, i definitely respect the autonomy of the school district and know that the city does not make decisions for the school district if the elected board of education and the superintendent and his staff that make decisions. but when there are issues of such importance with an impact on the city's economy, families and hard-working teachers and parents in the district i think it's really important to weigh

in to make sure our voice is heard as a board of supervisors. i also know as a parent and as a former teacher that it's critical when there's difficult negotiations and a potential strike that entities like the board should do everything we can to urge common ground to come to a fair negotiated settlement. also i know and the resolution states how important it is for the public to realize how few resources we get from the state and the federal government and that our under-funded and unfunded school system needs much more support so teachers and parents can be paid a fair wage with good benefits and that programs in our benefit can flourish and be expanded as well. the state government really has hampered our san francisco unified school district but things like the

possible enrichment like prop h which i helped write with former supervisor ammiano, soon to be former assembly man ammiano really was the champion that put it on the ballot with a lot of us within the school district in a grass roots coalition to pass prop h10 years ago in 2004 with many of our education coalition there. so the overwhelming support on tuesday is critical and i'm very happy about that. but it's not enough and i know that negotiations between the teachers and paras in the san francisco unified school district have been a challenge because of the lack of funding and the challenge faced by our board president, commissioner huer and commissioner yee for balancing the school budget. my goal for this is that we

can find common ground and not have a school system hampered by conflict as is currently going on. with that, i know supervisor yee has some important modifications. >> thank you, supervisor mar, for bringing this resolution to our attention. i think it's important because all three of us had --. >> yeah, former legal counsel sitting right here. >> so it's appropriate that this resolution came to this committee. since we had relationships and other board members have had relationships with the school district we wanted to weigh in on this and part of the weighing in, as supervisor mar mentioned, the city government, the board of supervisors really do care about our kids and their public schools and that's

why we have supported things like the p fund and so forth and overwhelmingly the city supported the continuation of the fund to support our public schools knowing that the funding that we get from the state is so inadequate. and what's important to me in this resolution really is about showing the city that we're not just going to be on the sidelines here and that we do care about our public schools. it's a statement to say that we do care, we are going to step it up, we're concerned about what's going on and we're urging that this be a final resolution of the negotiation at some point and so the amendments i am recommending really are just a tweak to language and it doesn't really change the essence of supervisor mar's resolution. the last piece of it is really

to say that we want to urge a resolution of the negotiation so that our, whatever comes out of it is best for our children and our youth. so while reading, i crossed out everything, i don't think it's necessary because i don't think it changes much. so those are my amendments. >> so we have a motion by supervisor yee to change along the lines of the draft that's provided. we won't vote on it until public comment is provided. i want to thank supervisor mar for bringing this forward and i see we have the teacher's union, we have the president of the board of education and we have the deputy superintendent who are here and i hopi convenient tuelly next time they come that they can come to city hall but they can come sitting together to announce a resolution of this issue. but let me just make a couple points because i know that there has been a lot

of pushback from the school district administration on this resolution and i understand that. you know, i have friends on both sides of this issue and i have been general council and have come to this body, to this building, to talk about how the board of supervisors and the city don't have ultimate say on what happens at the board of education. so i understand that. but this is a resolution, it is a non-binding resolution, and the thing about autonomy, respecting the autonomy that the board of education and the school district has necessarily requires respecting the autonomy of city government to step in and to speak out when they see what's happening in our school system. and the fact that we are speaking out and saying that we are concerned, that we want a resolution, is in no way a challenge to the autonomy of the school district. to the contrary, it's actually a recognition of that autonomy, a

respect for that autonomy. but nevertheless we have an obligation to make sure that our constituents and we have, you know, 75,000 constituents, each one of us, as members of the board of supervisors, that their interests are taken care of and that is why this resolution is important. i hope that the board of education and the administration take this resolution in that light and that spirit because i think that's exactly what's happening. the other thing, the second point that i want to make and, you know, i'm glad that the president of the board of education is here, the challenges that san francisco unified is facing when it comes to funding and budgeting are challenges that go beyond decisions that are being made in san francisco. it's because of decisions that are being made in sacramento and at the federal level. that said, the only way that those challenges are going to be addressed is if the school districtom
