not to exceed $393,993. the purpose of this increase is to help compensate the non-profit service providers for the increased costs associated with providing the services on behalf of the department of. could i have a motion to discuss? >> so moved. >> second. >> commissioners, dave curto again we're asking your authorization to modify the non-profitgants that we have under the daas portfolio for a cost of doing increase -- a cost of doing business increase of 1.5% granted by the mayor's office in the budget process. traditionally, the board of supervisors usually matches this every year. this year, the board of supervisors did not. so our contractors had an expectation of getting one around 3%. but daas was again very fortunate to get other

add-backs and allows to us modify grants by 1.5% that carries forward into the future. this process we're in the process now, we have notified the contracts. they have to go in and allocate 1.5% throughout the existing budgets. so the total amount this year is $393,993 in an aggregate amount spread between probably 150 different daas grants. >> i heard 50. >> there abouts. >> our general policy of how we allocate the cost of doing business adjustments an salaries, benefits, et cetera,

hard costs we generally only apply these to county general fundss and we never allow the cost of doing business to apply to a brand-new program that we're starting up or something that was a result of an rfp or even an add-back funding because the contractors gets an opportunity to negotiate the first-year budget and will forward costs that they anticipate. so it kicks in during the second year of operation. any questions that i can answer? >> i was wondering how many organizations that you distributed and you said approximately 150. okay. >> commissioner sims. >> one, was there any rationale with the board of supervisors this year for their resistance to match the mayors? >> i think they had other targets items that they had

taken a higher priority over matching the cost of doing business. i know it was discussed at the open budget hearings and non-profit partners expressed dismay at not getting the add-backs as was done many times in the past. it was a different set of priorities coming from the board of supervisors this year. >> okay. any questions? hearing nonely call for the vote. >> all in favor? >> aye. >> opposed? ayes have it and so the motion is carried. >> thank you. >> thank you, commissioners. >> next we have public comment. do we have any public comment on this? hearing none, announcements? public comment? we have already done that. can i have a motion to adjourn. >> so moved. >> second. >> it's been moved and

seconded that we adjourned the meeting. thank you.

(music) >> we are rehearsing for our most expensive tour; plus two concerts here. we are proud that the growth of the orchestra, and how it is expanded and it is being accepted. my ambition when i came on as music director here -- it was evident we needed absolutely excellent work. also evident to me that i thought everyone should know that. this was my purpose. and after we opened, which was a spectacular opening concert about five weeks after that the economy completely crashed. my plan -- and i'm absolutely dogmatic about my plans --were delayed

slightly. i would say that in this very difficult timefor the arts and everyone, especially the arts, it's phenomenal how new century has grown where many unfortunate organizations have stopped. during this period we got ourselves on national radio presence; we started touring, releasing cds, a dvd. we continue to tour. reputation grows and grows and grows and it has never stopped going forward. msk(music) >> the bay area knows the orchestra. you maybe take things for granted a little bit. that is simply not the case will go on the road. the audiences go crazy. they don't see vitality like this on stage.

we are capable of conveying joy when we play. msk(music) >> any performance that we do, that a program, that will be something on the program that you haven't heard before. string orchestra repertoire is pretty small. i used to be boxed into small repertoire. i kept constantly looking for new repertoire and commissioning new arrangements. if you look at the first of the program you have very early, young vibrant mendelson; fabulous opener and then you have this fabulous concerto written for us in the orchestra. is our gift.

msk(music) >> and then you have strauss, extraordinary piece. the most challenging of all. string orchestra work. 23 solo instrument, no violin section, now viola section; everybody is responsible for their part in this piece. the challenge is something that i felt not only that we could do , absolutely could do, but i wanted to show off. i can't tell you how aware i am of the audience. not only what i hear but their vibes, so strong. i have been doing this for a long time.

i kind of make them feel what i want them to feel. there is nobody in that audience or anywhere that is not going to know that particular song by the fourth note. and that is our encore on tour. by the way. i am proud to play it, we are from san francisco. we are going to play that piece no matter where we are.

>> good afternoon. welcome to our special rules committee meeting for wednesday december 3, 2014. i am supervisor norman yee and chairing this meeting. i am joined by supervisor tang and supervisor campos. the clerk today is alyssa samara. the committee would like to acknowledge the staff of sfg tv. who record each of our meetings and make the transcripts available to the public online, so happy post thanksgiving. madam clerk are there any

announcements? >> yes, please make sure to silent cell phones and electronic devices and speaker cards to be part of the file somebody committed to thed clerk and will be on the december 9 board of supervisors agenda innocence otherwise stated. >> okay. can we have item number one. >> item number one is an amendment to amend the administrative code to establish the duties of the office of early care and education and create the office of early care and education citizens' advisory committee. >> thank you. so let me speak a little bit on this item. our city established the office of early care and education to help us meet the growing needs of our city especially with the rising infant asked to her population. this office will help us align and coordinate our city's efforts to provide early care and education for ages zero --

children for ages 0-5. this includes meeting the goal of the city wide plan for early care and education and out of school time. and the legislation that just passed by voters by margin of 74%, proposition c, within that legislation was asked for the city to establish the office of early care and education citizens' advisory committee. this ordinance we are reviewing days serves to reinforce the office of early care and education and to establish a citizens' advisory committee to help with the development of a strategic plan to improve access for our young children to high quality early care and education. with the passage of prop c in november the office of early care and education the

task was developing this strategic plan by 2016. the office of ecc citizens' advisory committee will be a nine member body appointed by the mayor and the board of supervisors that will represent a cross section of parents, early care and education providers, experts, and advocates to help advise the director and the office to help our city expand our early care education for all, and to offer expertise in the areas of policy, planning, collaboration and strategic partnership. the development of this body was a collaborative effort with the staff at the office of early care and education, the child care planning and advisory committee, and other entities such as the department of children youth and family, san

francisco first five and the san francisco unified school district, so i really want to give a lot of thanks for all the people that were a part of this important discussion including supervisors avalos and kim, and for some of you we already know it was supervisor avalos who pushed for developing this office before i got on board,. i was outside at the time trying to push so i want to give him a -- acknowledge his effort in regards to where we are today. our office also acknowledged beth rubinstin from supervisor avalos' office and sunny a grelo from kim's office and my own aid jenn who worked tirelessly to put this together and

acknowledge barbara, the director of the office of early care and education. erica mabum coordinator of cpac or the child care planning and advisory council and ken eghtd and other members of the council. i also want to acknowledge the members of the childrens funding community coalition and also the director of first five laura plumack and carla bryant from the early care and education director and jim brooks also from the san francisco unified school district as a liaison and there are many other members from the early care and education community that has provided input into this process and very important for them to have done that just because we want to make sure that the

legislation we put together it will be relevant to everybody that would be involved. since the introduction of this ordinance we have made minor amendments to help strengthen the language describing the duties of the citizens' advisory committee. there were amendments to further clarifying the role of the cac on page seven section 5.1 two four. that includes the duties of the committee and we also more recently changed some of the dates in terms of deadlines and so forth to make sure that whatever we ask for in this ordinance that we will be able to accomplish it. the other thing that was asked for amendment was the issue of whether or not the mayor's

appointment should go through to board confirmation process, and originally when i had put it in there i thought it was a good idea just to bring more -- bring -- just highlight the office more, highlight the cac and so forth in a very public way, but after further discussion about this issue and also realizing that that generally speaking for cacs the mayor's appointments really doesn't go through the rules committee and after talking to people from there i said okay maybe we could forgo this process and still highlight our efforts. i think maybe it was important for me because this issue is really important for me, so i am always taking -- trying to find any opportunity to talk about this issue

because i don't feel we talk about it enough in this city, so one of the amendments that is not in the package would be the elimination of -- oh, it would be to eliminate lines seven through 11 for section four in the section that i noted and to indicate that charter section 3 .100-18 shall apply. okay. do you know what it is? do you have any questions? >> deputy city attorney, job gibner so just to clarify under

this proposed amendment the board will appoint four members, and the mayor will appoint five members and the mayor's appointees can be rejected by a 2/3 vote of the board under 3.1 hundred. is that the intent the amendment? >> the intent of the amendment would be -- if we choose -- if the board chooses to have a hearing on the appointment we could have it within 30 days. >> and the board could reject the mayor's appointment by a super majority under -- that's the general default rule that applies to decision making bodies created by the charter so you could set it up either way where the board has the opportunity to reject the amendments and what that reference means or the board

doesn't confirm or reject the mayor's appointment. >> my intent was not to reject the mayor's appointment necessarily but have the hearing if we think there is something questionable. >> and would the board at that hearing have the opportunity to act on the appointment or just an informational hearing? >> it would be an informational hearing. >> okay. we can prepare that amendment and provide it to the clerk after the meeting. >> thank you very much. supervisor tang. >> thank you. so i definitely understand your intention commissioner yee. i think maybe just to mimic what is in charter section 3-100 will make it consistent so we don't have one advisory body or commission that stands out and has different requirements and although we don't intend to reject the appointees from the mayor's

office we have the opportunity under this section which i have here and again i think it's best to make it consistent so we're not confused about the different requirements are. >> okay. which is basically what it says; right? okay. we will take the language. thank you very much supervisor tang. supervisor campos. >> thank you mr. chair. i just wanted to concur with what supervisor tang said. i think that by referencing this section of the charter we basically saying we will follow the normal procedure which makes it very unlikely that an appointment is rejected. that's why there is the requirement to have a super majority instead of doing a simple six member majority, so i think that's probably the best approach, so i support that. >> okay. thank you. thank you for the clarification.

let's see. i didn't have any presentations on this particular item, and i think quite a few people will be here just to come up in public comments to make their comments, so without any other questions then i will take public comments in the order that i have which is barbara carlson. would you like to make any comments? this is a two minute general public comment. and then for laura kumack to follow and candace from cpac and sandy blackman after that and monica walters and rosy kennedy if you would follow monica. okay. go ahead. >> thank you very much for all your work commissioner yee and other members of the board of

supervisors here, and others who are not present today. we look forward to working with the cac and continue doing the good work of the office so thank you. >> thank you. >> good afternoon supervisors . laura from [inaudible] san francisco. i am glad we're at this point and moving ahead and i look forward to the strategic planning process. thank you. >> good afternoon supervisors. candace wong from the child care advisory planning council. i think you summarized it commissioner yee and thanked everyone else but i want it to thank you for your leadership and pulling the folks together and the mayor's office and all members of the board of supervisors, members in the

community and the school district and city departments and everyone to put together a very comprehensive piece of legislation and i think it's appropriate that the first action we're taken after the 74-point 4% passage of this legislation for the initiative that the first action we're taking is in support of basically establishing the office of early care and education citizens' advisory committee. it's a long time in coming. it's taken more than five or more years i think to get to this point and i think it's appropriate that we're finally forming the citizens' advisory committee for the office of ece and come together and do effective planning for the families and the children of the city and the fact that we recognize the importance of doing that in support of the youngest children so we're setting the right foundation for their future success and the fact that we're a city that really cares about our kids and i
