tourists that come through from around the world at the airport as our giant stadium concessionary state as well, butt serving your families and community, it is so important that we rez main concerned about healthcare issues and making sure we are paying our workers fairly so they can afford to live in san francisco and bay areas' rising cost of living through the region.

that they work with and and i represent district 9 which includes the mission and this is a text that came from -- it was dated december 11, 2014 from mission bar and grill and it bothers me that something like this would come from a business that has the name mission on it, but it says from mission bar [inaudible] and it says good morning, please return to work as scheduled or you may be

replaced, sincerely mbg. legally, the kind of language that's being used straddles the -- sort of walks the fine line of whether or not is it just a statement or actual threat, but of course, you know, getting this from -- on your personal phone from your employer, we know what the intended impact of this is, which is to intimidate and threaten and that's troubling. i was very troubled to hear in public comment about how in some of these establishments it seems like prices are being increased without any of what are the requisite approvals that need to be obtained. i would ask the city attorney if

you can please review the leases that are -- i don't know how many leases we're talking about. the chair, maybe you can tell us maybe how many we're talking about. >> i can't recall the exact number. it's somewhere in the range of eight to ten that we're looking at, but i'd be happy to look into that question an report back. . >> one question i would have is if a business and establishment raises prices can they do that unilaterally or do they have to go through a process where they require approval of management. i know john martin try to run a tight ship. one chemical question i would be would that be a breech of the lease?

we're not there yet so i would ask we make a motion to continue this item to the first immediate next meeting of the board of supervisors, which i think is actually a special meeting on january 7. i don't think that we will need to haerz the item again, but i just want to have it as an option so i would make a motion to continue to immediately following the special meeting. >> just to restate supervisor campos has made a motion to continue this item to january 7, 2015. the public hearing portion of this item has been held and closed, buff we can continue the item itself. >> the item itself. >> item 48, sure. that's seconded by supervisor mar. without objection that's been

continued, item 48 to january 7, 2015. with that, colleagues, we will now reconvene as the board of supervisors and proceed pack to our item 50, which we left off at. again, i want to thank everyone for being here today for item 48. now we'll go back to roll call for introductions. we left off with supervisor breed who had completed her submission. >> i'd like to introduce new business, supervisor campos. >> i'm the potential short term and long-term strategies to help alleviate the affects of flooding along folsom street in the mission district, the area of 17th and folsom, which is actually the lowest point in the city which always floods every time that there is -- not even a

significant rain. even a minor rain sometimes, and over the post few weeks we have been working with community members to prepare for the storm and i want to thank the public utility commission for the hard work they have done to help folks. this is a complicated problem and so this is basically a hearing that would allow us to have a long-term discussion about a more permanent solution. the rest i submit. thank you. >> thank you supervisor campos. supervisor cohen. >> thanks very much. first, i just wanted to make an announcement and raise the level of attention around a very important item. i just want to recognize that earlier this week congress passed a bill that could result in a complete national

data collection on police shootings and other deaths that happen in law enforcement custody. this is pretty significant because what it is is a reauthorization of legislation that expired in 2006. this is legislation that was introduced by representative bobby scott, a democrat in virginia and base cliz states receiving federal funds would be required to report every quarter on the number of deaths that occurred of persons in the their custody. and think, i believe, speaks to a lot of the wave and movement and protest and outrage you see happening on a daily basis. i have want to offer one final piece before i submit the rest in me more yum i'd like to

request we close the board meeting out in memory of my great uncle. he was laid to rest earlier in afternoon. he passed away on december 9 at the age of 96. louis was born november 17, 1918 in ocean springs, mississippi and he attended elementary school at xavier preparatory high school. he was married to my aunt on june 28, 1939 at holy ghost catholic church. as newlyweds they started their family, and with the birth of ten children. but 1942 is needs of the family had my uncle louis seeking to obtain higher wages for loading freight for the

alike is that there's a real need for clean and safe public restrooms to provide people with a dignified place to go to the bathroom. at the same time as this usage has gone down in our neighborhood. this is significant because most of the steam cleaning requests pertain to reports of human feces. hire to the 1001 pit stop public works averages requests on [inaudible] steam clean using #1r5 gallons of water, the city has saved 160 gallons of water a day at 2641

gallons per month. in the appropriate receptacles and not left behind in our doorways, parks or tree wells. they identified 150,000 to fund the initial pilot through january, and given the significant unfortunately due to the holidays it was difficult to schedule on december, the hearing will take place in early january, but in the meantime we want to introduce a supplemental to ensure we can continue the program through the end of the year and expands to other high needs neighborhoods like the high needs market. as we with a spike in traffic

profits received founding from san francisco despite having to absorb the huge costs of healthcare rent. this flat funding amounted to the reduction for non profit really negatively impacting allocation for this purpose was contingent on revenue and savings above the projected estimates for 2013, 2014 to be found in sources such as the city's local tax, property tax and real estate transfer tax. according to our recently cap our comprehensive annual financial report for the city for fiscal year 2013, '14, the city's general funds is now in a much healthier financial position that continues to post significant improvements.

>> i'm going to adjourn in a memoriam. our city and chinese american community has lost a warm

kind and outstanding when laura lie passed away on december 10th after suffering from liver cancer for over 5 years. laura was born in china on january 7, 1933. she had only 4 years of formal schooling in hong kong before immigrating to the united states. she went to washington elementary school and because of her age she was quickly promoted to galileo high school and during this time she joined mun shing the democratic youth league not too

historian and she joined him in his research throughout the world. laura continued to support their favorite community based organization like the chinese cultural center, chinese historical society and the chinese association as well. her powerful spirit, devotion and grace were in comparable. i know she was gleaming when she knew her root to salvation and knowledge is applied to the community. laura's ashes will be scattered. we join the family and relatives. also i'm very saddened by the passing of

the history of the asian movement and grass roots activist from the 70s and 80s that came together when he was on death row in san quentin. it took a 9-year struggle to successfully win his release and freedom. the defense committee was the first pan coalition for churches but also militant community groups. mr. chul sue leaves in 1981 after the grass roots campaign led by a social movement after being released from prison for being wrongly convicted of a gang murder. he brings asian americans like myself in an
