cops are cracking down all across the country. click it or ticket. >> we're ready. >> good afternoon. welcome to our rules committee meeting for

thursday november 20, 2014. i am supervisor yee and i will be chairing this meeting. i am joined by supervisor katy tang. i guess interim president elect katy tang that is and the clerk today is vector young. the committee would like to acknowledge the staff at sfg tv, jim smith and john stalkhouse who record our meetings and make the transcripts available to the public online. are there any announcements? >> yes. please silence all cell phones and electronic devices. any speaker cards and documents should be submitted to the clerk. items acted upon today will appear on the december 9 board of supervisors agenda unless otherwise stated. >> okay. can we have a motion to excuse supervisor campos from

this meeting? >> so moved. >> without objection. that motion passes. [gavel] mr. clerk can you please call item 1. >> an ordinance for the campaign and governmental conduct code to update the conflict of interest code. >> i believe we have andrew sun, deputy city attorney who will be presenting on this ordinance. >> good afternoon supervisors. deputy city attorney andrew chin from the ethics team and the office and congratulations as there to supervisor tang and i want to give you some background about the government conduct code and conflict of interest code and why we do it and give amended legislation. i had a chance to contact your aids so hopefully it's not a surprise and it's a city ordinance with the employees and officers to file statements of economic interests. under state law the

city is required to update the conflict of interest code every two years in even numbered years and by the end of the calendar year. generally reflects organizations of city departments, changes in job titles, new positions and out dated positions and so forth so what was interested at this point was what i had at this point and i should back up and city that the office has under gone this updating process with the clerk's office and in particular peggy nef an so in compiling and getting the responses from all the city departments out there we do our best to get that information as soon as possible, but what we introduced a couple months ago did not include a few outstanding responses from that time so the amendment they would like to distribute to you at this point includes some additional responses since september -- i'm sorry. i have

one other copy. thank you. includes additional responses that we received from the arts commission, the community college district, the department of the environment, the puc, the school district and as well as including a new section for the successor agency to the redevelopment agency. that section was deleted a couple years ago when the agency was dissofld. i know it's a lengthy document. i'm not sure if you have particular questions but i can do my best to answer them but i confess we rely on what the department provides to us. neither offices have a lot of incite into how particular departments are organized or what particular people do so we often rely on the departments required submissions. >> okay. thank you. >> thank you. >> supervisor tang. >> i don't have any questions but i mean just looking even the original version it seems

straightforward to me. again it's just updating the position and the titles so i think there's no problem with this. >> thank you. >> i concur. >> okay. so is there a motion for this. >> public comment. >> yeah. public comments -- are there any public comments on this item? seeing none public comment is now closed. [gavel] is there -- >> through the chair then i would like to make a motion to forward this item 1 to the full board of supervisors with a positive recommendation. does it require a continuance? i'm sorry. >> it doesn't require an continuous but it requires an amendment. >> i'm sorry. first i would like to accept the motions outlined by our deputy city attorney. >> okay. >> and then to forward to the full board with positive recommendation. >> no objection with the motion for the amendments. then that one passes, and motion to

-- for this also passes. thank you. >> thank you very much. >> mr. clerk can you please call item two. >> item number two is a motion confirming the mayor's appointment of marily mondejar to the successor agency commonly known as the community investment and infrastructure for for a four-year term ending november 3, 2018. >> thank you. good afternoon commissioners. thank you for the opportunity to provide a little short summary of my background and supporting and serving in the community investment and infrastructure. for the record i am marily mondejar and the founder and ceo of the filipino's women network and 40% of whom live in the bay area, a majority in san

francisco living in districts six and 11 and with the board of bishop california a state wide organization in government and corporate and nonprofit sectors currently serve as president of the friends of the san francisco commission and the status of women and we raise funds to support the city programs on human trafficking and other initiatives. i served on the redistricting task force a few years ago and gave me experience with the city's diverse communities directly hearing from residents about their concerns, their love and hope for our city and provided me with a great experience for the role i am asking for your vote, so i also wanted to say that i served with the san francisco justice and oversight panel after the murder of a young philippina and drafted the

protocol on domestic violence that included many agencies. the panel just sunsetted and i mention this because work is done and the report was issued and the community in which i live and great divide between the haves and the have nots and this is not work. these are the values that i am passionate about and very important to me. i bring to the commission my organizational skill sets, entrepreneurial experience and community organizing and bicultural perspective. the last two years have been meaningful and a learning experience for me and i am quickly to say i was able to contribute my incites and background and experience to the accomplishments of cci with the help of my fellow commissioners and the staff lead by tiffany bohe, the executive director.

and to summarize we approved in hunter's point for example 500 housing units, artists studios and broke ground on alice griffith affordable housing and revitalization and have bonds and mission bay and north and south and 160 market rate. 900 more ongoing. 150 new affordable housing units and ongoing 435. of course we're proud that we are starting to assign work on the new 18,000 square feet sports arena, the new home of the golden state warriors. what is important to me we have awarded $432 million of construction contracts and 32% of those -- or 138 million is really -- were given to sbc and entrepreneurs and businesses so trans bay -- there is a lot

of work going on. the renee [inaudible] apartments were finally done. 120 units for formerly homeless individuals. mercy housing is working on 155 affordable units, so i can go on and on obviously. that's not my accomplishment. i just wanted to share the work that has been done in the last two years and more work needs to be done so finding suitable affordable housing is important to me as a single mom and although my kids are grown. i still like they're not grown so it is something that i take seriously because i feel that housing is our responsibility, a community's responsibility and i believe in building sustainable communities that's healthy, liveable and i would like to be able to help in my own way retain families in san francisco so my appointment

to this commission has been an exciting opportunity and i request your support in confirming my reappointment. thank you very much for this opportunity to speak to you and i am happy to answer any questions you may have. >> we don't have any questions of you. why would we? >> thank you commissioner. >> thank you. >> thank you. >> any public comment -- oh not yet -- any public comments on this item? seeing none public is now closed. [gavel] supervisor tang. >> sure. i just want to thank you. i think all of us have enjoyed working with her and not just in this capacity and she's up for reappointment but for the work in the community. as you said there is a lot of work to be done and a lot happening now so we hope to keep your knowledge achieved as you achieved through the past service and let you continue so i am happy to make a motion to

reappoint marily mondejar to the commission on community investment and infrastructure seat two and send with positive recommendation to the full board. >> thank you. i too will be supporting this motion of course, and your work beyond ccii is well known to just about everybody in san francisco and we're happy -- you seem to have boundless energy to be involved with everything, but nothing seems to stop you from being involved, and i believe when you say this is not work, and this is really more your passion. i didn't get a chance to talk to you because -- about this appointment since i knew you from many other things but hopefully i get a chance to chat with you about family housing, affordable family housing, what ccii -- what role can it play in encouraging that more in a very

-- not only positive but as a priority rather than just talking about affordable housing or as if a three bedroom means family which as you probably know doesn't translate necessarily to family, so i would love to be able to do that in the future with you. >> [inaudible] >> okay. well, no objection. this motion passes. [gavel] congratulations. mr. clerk could i have item number three. >> yes. item number three is a motion confirming the mayor's appointment of mara rosales to the commission known as community investment and infrastructure for a four-year term ending november 3, 2018. >> good afternoon supervisors. congratulations supervisor tang

again on your interim presidency. a little bit about myself. i am a native san franciscan and living in district 9. i spent my life in san francisco and my schooling has been in san francisco and if i think that sets me uniquely apart from my colleagues is my dedication to public service. i was a long time city attorney and made it as a attorney here and went on to the be the general counsel of sfo and learned about development, major transactions and i think that's the reason why two years ago the mayor asked that i consider an appointment for the excision on community investment and infrastructure and i have to stay that the two years have gone by quickly. i don't want to repeat all of the things that

the commission has done and commissioner mondejar has done well and i would love to continue in the work. i don't think i would have said that two years ago but i learned a lot in the affordable housing area, an area i was new to and no longer a student in affordable housing and i think i can bring value, new thinking, new strategies. i appreciate the comment supervisor yee and now on affordable housing for families and what looks like. i raised my children in san francisco. i myself as a child was raised in san francisco so i would love to continue that work also i think the commission is doing wonderful efforts with the staff on work force development and critical to the well being of our city and on behalf of that i would love your support on the mayor's nomination -- my nomination to continue serving this city on this commission. i

am happy to answer any questions you might have. >> okay. any questions? >> no questions. >> thank you. >> thank you very much. any public comments? seeing none public comment is now closed. supervisor tang. >> again just happy to see and want to continue i had the opportunity to speak to both of you before this meeting just to make sure we understood what your priorities were going forward and again i think she brings such invaluable background given all of her city work, not only as a deputy city attorney and also in the legal realm that she did outside of the city and community service so i'm happy to reappointment mara rosales to seat four for the commission on community investment and infrastructure and pass it on to the full board with full recommendation.

>> okay. and i totally agree with that and the comments that you made of her i totally agree with that and even though you're a lowell grad and she and i am not and that's okay. at least we're from the city. okay. so without objections this motion is moved. [gavel] . thank you. mr. clerk can you please call item four. >> item four is a hearing to consider two appointments to two members ending february 1, 2016 to the park, recreation and open space advisory committee and two sights and two applicants. >> okay. let's call up mark scheuer. are you here? mark? okay. i guess he's not here and i believe richard ivanhoe will not be able to come. connor

super supervisor. >> london breed. >> supervisor breed's office . >> for the time being. you never know. thank you commissioners. richard ivanhoe has been serving on prozac for several years now and appointed by one of breed's predecessors and long time community activists for parks and improving access and the parks themselves and a great public servant in this capacity. i worked with your staff chair yee to schedule this and he would have to take the day off and it would be best to schedule it today and hopefully support him in absentia. thank you. >> thank you for coming on his behalf and both candidates
