when it's looking at preserving the property in blighted areas of the city and this part of san francisco is definitely not an area that is blighted perhaps in 25 to thirty years ago it could have been but 40 years ago it was in that condition but right now not those property are already in pretty good condition one of the projects where the building is looking for the miles act designation as accomplished much of the work that is done in terms of the renovation i know it covers maintenance a separate issue but i actually feel that the miles act is really geared towards looking at parts of neighborhoods that are more blighted where the tax break can actually help people who have

less means to do do renovations on their homes to do them in this case, i building this landmark district is in pretty good condition and the buildings there are worth $1.7 million we the people are actually owning those buildings can actually do the renovation without the tax break i'll rather we didn't unable to to happen i'll be voting against the miles act on those 3 items. >> supervisor wiener. >> thank you, mr. president i appreciate supervisor avalos remarks but i disagree first of all, it's an initial matter colleagues this particular area wasn't 25 or 20 years ago, it was a very challenged neighborhood until recently it

was a point challenge due to the incredible work of the residents of that area this has been a drastically improved area the residents of that area deserve a lot of credit we shouldn't reward them but no longer going to give me miles act contracts i want to note that the miles act is not just for obligated properties but to give homeowners an incentive you can do work on historic building in a lot of different was and range of costs in terms of the care and you can go above and beyond to honor the district of those property or change of venues choose no to go above and beyond

but entering into a contract you've gone beyond to honor the district of the property if we're going to get into a situation in a historic place not considered to be blighted whatever intense you use we're not going to have miles act contracts in san francisco i can assure you that will be a long time before we see a historic district formed in san francisco when we went to the formation there was a lot of concern in the neighborhood you're putting extra obligations without benefit and the miles act is that benefit it's not a full benefit he in terms of counter balancing all the obligations but something i think it will send a powerful message that we start rejecting

those contracts from people not to support of the creation of the historic district i hope we'll support those. >> at this time madam clerk. >> supervisor mar supervisor tang supervisor wiener supervisor yee supervisor avalos no supervisor breed supervisor campos supervisor chiu supervisor farrell supervisor kim there are 9 i's. >> one no. >> the resolutions are adapted. >> item 25. >> is a resolution to authorize the use of city for the internal council for the san francisco anniversary on 15. >> on to a different kind of resolution today is a resolution declaring february 2015 internal

50th anniversary and 30 years the internal to use the san francisco additional seal next to that event we don't authorize the seal but the internal is a big deal with the lgbt so it's appropriate the yes, ma'am peril is one of the older organization in the world next year is is silver bullet it's 50th year and supervisor campos had jose here in the board of supervisors chambers before he passed away and ran for the board of supervisors in 1962 as an openly gay man and became the first

reigning empress the first one was core in an accident in 1972 each year they represent the empirical people and they raise charities in the landlord/tenant and hiv around domestic violence and so forth after the founding in san francisco other imperial courts were started in the u.s. starting with portland and seattle in the early 70s and there was 60 imperial courts through canada and mexico arrest given the long leadership has retained it's leadership and so

its appropriate to recognize this 50th anniversary of the you mean peril court and there is no them to use the seem like in essence with its 50th anniversary. >> thank you to the collect to put this resolution together colleagues thank you. >> supervisor wiener and with that, colleagues, can we take a resolved supervisor mar. >> supervisor tang supervisor wiener supervisor yee supervisor avalos supervisor breed supervisor campos supervisor chiu supervisor farrell supervisor kim arrest there are 11 i's excuse me. there are 10 i's that resolution is adapted. >> item 26 an ordinance to

people that have an arrest or conviction the fair chap has been in effect we've received additional recommendations from several city departments including the office of work 0 enforcement regarding clarifying the fair chance act this trailing legislation cleans up some of the language so the board understands what the clean up looks like it allows the employers and city contractors to consider infractions for positions that primer involve driving this is a long this runs with the compliance normally we'll not want to look at infractions and employment record for positions where driving was the primary duty of the position it makes sense to

look at it the record to pursuing our vision zero policy and second that allows the employers and city contractors to consider convictions more than 7 years old concerning the care of minors this is after the package of the department and after some months of looking at it we've decided to include this allowance it also authorizes the city to bring the violation against people against violence with the definition of employment for the fair chance act it must be 8 hours per week and provided the restricts if this code prevails we've had a few ordinances where our office has need a

discrepancy this will allow the fair chance had trumpet ero conflicting laws colleagues, i ask for your support in the fair chance. >> same house, same call? ? we'll take that without objection. this ordinance is passes as item 28 to allow the eloquently bus rapt project >> colleagues can we take it we'll take that without objection. same house, same call? >> this ordinance is passed on the first reading and madam clerk could going to our committee report starting with item 45 were considered by the oversight committee and the committee forwarded the items to the board

recommended as with the same title and 45 to amend the administrative code for the local business enterprise program. >> thank you president chiu. >> colleagues, i want to thank you for your consideration of this ordinance which is co-sponsors with mayor ed lee to reform chapter 14 b of our administrative code also known as as the number one discretionary this has been in the works for the better part of the year i want to thank our mayor and naomi kelly and others who was involved in this complicated ordinance as well 0 many representatives of the local small business and contracting committee including the coalition of economic

equality through 30 decades ago we recognized the goal of government and what was then sometimes active n and often passive discrimination we recognized the possibility of million dollars dollars that our city spent for goods and services for economic semilose we passed a law that represented our city long-standing commitment to justice that foster a strong network of small businesses in san francisco as a local enterprise law now helps our small businesses offset higher costs of operating in or city when it works our city's contracting process keeps tax dollars at home for san franciscans the reformed package we have have flovenl you have you it

helps to establish a no long run 40 percent san francisco's first program to make good faith effort from construction contract under $400,000 and professional contract under $100,000 before opening the process to non-lbe's and it at 20 to $40 million and expands the projects that require a agreement to be approved by the board of supervisors and in certain industries that allows small businesses to participate in the lbe program to foster partnerships between established contractor and local businesses thank to the many actors it took a lot of effort from the

departments as well as small businesses and i want to take a moment and thank our geocommittee for their support. >> thank you supervisor avalos. >> thank you just a question that was raised recently by some contractors with the city as related to architect addressed engineers i think they were looking for language it would be in here for contractors that get a better shot inclusion in this legislation and i wanted to ask the author what the discussion has been if there's a possibility for that inclusion and some other version that can come forward at a at a later date. >> your leafing us has there been anyone in legislation to bring up that issue. >> first of all, i appreciate that question in the final dies to the full board i want to say

a few things there was a contention to consider braegd architects from the category of architects i'll say at this point, i'm not adverse interests not an analysis or data to understand how seriously problems there are although we've heard anecdotal evidence of issues we've decided to ask the city administered to convene a working group to work together a gadget data specifically to look at the situation is of architects versus engineers and at the end of that time period the zoning administrator low provide an analysis and make recommendations open whether there should be additional categories for example, to cart out architect and set that aside as a specific category in

indicating committee no one said they're interested but if you're interested i'm sure that our zoning administrator naomi kelly will be taking recommendations that come out a month from now to potentially turn that into chapter 14. >> i'll foul. >> thank you, colleagues take this item same house, same call? passed on 7 first reading. >> madam clerk. >> item 46 was recommended a resolution to approve a contract between the city golden gate and sunset for refuge collection needing $40 million for the term of november 30th through 2020. >> colleagues, same house, same call? this resolution is adapted. >> next item. >> item 47 and 48 were

considered by this land use committee on monday november 24th they've forwarded those items and 47 was recommended as the same title to have the city provide electrical service to new developments. >> supervisor wiener. >> thank you, mr. president. >> colleagues this legislation provides san francisco public utilities power enterprise with the first right of refusal to provide clean hetch hetchy power to new private and public developments in san francisco i'm pleased the sierra club and the league of conservation voters have enforced the legislation i want to thank supervisor breed for co-chairing the legislation and supervisor kim so far adding her name and supervisor yee has stone shown

an interest it provides the puc with the authority to be the power provider when it makes economic and environmental sense to do so for nearly a century or century the public utilities commission has provided clean power such as the muni and san francisco international airport ate the hospital and police and fire stations our jails and city hall etc. the power that the puc provides is clean and one hundred percent green house gases free in a place where global warming is looming so we need to move towards a clean energy future it's not enough to talk about it we have to do it we can do it here with this legislation there

are many benefits to electrical service including local control and lower rates and promotion of renewable and clean energy and greater transparency and accountability expanding the point of interest enterprises retail customer base instead of selling it we'll provide much needed revenue for the puc's system and our street light system that's a huge deferred infrastructure needs and the retail power is sold at three to four times as wholesale puc estimates 10 meg wauts was the it residence the net revenue so if the puc were able to increase the retail sales of electricity by one hundred megawatts that will generate $40 million in new revenue that could be reinvested in the system including our

street light system puc's power enterprise facilities currently have massive deferred maintenance in the hundreds of dollars of thousand of maintenance in hetch hetchy and locally in our street light system we've seen the result off our deteriorated street light system where is the puc didn't have the revenues to modernize the system if we want to keep this amazing unique asset and clean energy as well as our street light system the puc needs morality customers currently the puc sells a huge amount of electricity into the wholesale market anothers dromoreduced watts rates we should be selling that this provides the puc with the first right of refusal to be the power provider by selling hetch hetchy

ohio power to public and private promotions to the city entitlement it provide puc with the authority to first conduct the study and where it deems it arena or large housing project or a large project etc. so by doing this we'll stimulate the generation of more clean energy because the incurring energy that is currently purchasing the hydro electrical power will have to find other sources to that meet their stating portfolio and move san francisco towards our stated goal for the board of supervisors on having a purely renewalable system by 2030 >> colleagues i've received a

number of communications and meetings with groups and the chamber of commerce that are concerned about the ability to choose a power provider and, of course, this board strongly supports this unanimously the power sf program a choice and competition are good things i hope we'll move and the power sf will become a reality the majority of san francisco doesn't have one provider they can use and we have another provider that has to go through the same rated process that provides the rate power and the transbay center and the tjpa recently decided to go with the puc has it's power provider we've heard concerns about reliability and the puc is a

reliable power provider to our airport or the general hospital for years the power has gone out there so colleagues, i ask for your support of this important legislation which will move us in a positive direction in terms of climate change and as well as addressing those are power needs in our system. >> thank you, supervisor wiener. >> supervisor tang thank you, supervisor wiener? an interesting proposal as you mentioned on many entities don't have a choice to some of the questions come up from the private entities that may fall under this i guess this set up here i think that folks have

raised concerns about not having the choice so i wonder in the the city attorney or you, you can respond. >> sure first i want to thank andreas for doing terrific work in move forward this forward under the charter the puc has significant latitude in making choices about under which circumstances to provide power so under the cheater we're not allowed to micromanage the agency in terms of telling it when it should be providing power we're authorizing them to have the first first right of refusal we can't take the next step by saying you can do this project with you in the that one so the puc in conversations with me and beaumont they don't want

for example small developers night to the efficient for them to be the provider for the small development they want a larger development the puc has been clear they're not interested in force ably becoming the provider if they're a strong section and harden kelly has been clear they like to work with people collaboratively and so do that those are the constraint and perhaps mr. john gibner, deputy city attorney in her. >> john gibner, deputy city attorney briefly following up on what supervisor wiener mentioned the california decision provides that municipalities have the authority to provide the power that powerful power under the chapter is that the puc and

board can by this ordinance limit the puc's authority and i think commissioner lee fairly described it as the board can get into the management of how the puc makes decisions about how to provide power and how. >> if i may therefore if we say you can only do that my understanding is that that would violate that chapter. >> supervisor tang. >> thank you. i want to say that the answers the original version contained a clause saying there could be only upon mature agreement this set up can happen but it was taken out. >> yonl i don't believe that was in there there was a request that was inserted and we've determined we couldn't do so so

therefore we did not. >> okay any further discussion. >> colleagues let's take a roll call on item 47. >> supervisor mar supervisor tang supervisor wiener supervisor yee supervisor avalos supervisor breed supervisor campos president chiu supervisor farrell supervisor kim there are 10 i's ordinance is an on the first reading. >> ordinance to allow for height for hospital mechanic equipment with regard to height and making the resolution. >> colleagues, same house, same call? this ordinance is passed. >> for the supervisor to introduce new business
