are absolutely the last resort. this legislation is the first step in gettingp grasp of evictions to achieve that goal. traditionally it sets the goals if you contract through the city for services. through the legislation the city will get statistics and information from sros, master lease rooms, supportive housing site accident, some sites that receive local funds and other affordable housing programs. the reports will require the number of unlawful detainers issued in court and the reasons? a. the numbers of tenants and house holds removed and the reason for the eviction and protect privacy or no other personal information will be released -- [inaudible] and mo will collect the data from the housing partners and compile the reports with the respective housing portfolios. lastly with this legislation we're

encouraging the housing providers -- although we can't mandate it, to provide past statistics and information. we hope they voluntarily submit this information so we can look at the eviction trends and adapt it and address it. given the vast resources we put into finding individuals and families housed and keeping them housed especially in this environment i want to make sure we're not expending additional resources for them to be evict d and back on the streets. it's a vicious cycle to avoid. i want to thank all of them for the input and support on the legislation as well as the major housing providers that had significant input along the way. it's the first step to address this issue and look forward to having your support today colleagues. >> thank you supervisor farrell. okay. colleagues can we do same house same call for

this item? this ordinance is passed on the first reading unanimously. madam clerk can you please call item 16. >> item 16 say motion to respond to the civil grand jury to provide a status update on the board of supervisors responses to recommendations 1a, 1b, 2a, three, 11d and 12b contained in the 2013-14 civil grand jury report entitled rising sea levels at our door step and urging the mayor to cause the implementation through the department heads and through the budget. >> same house same call. without objection this item passes unanimously. this motion is approved unanimously. item 17. >> item 17 say motion to respond to the civil grand jury to provide a status update on the board of supervisors' responses to recommendations numbers two, 11, 16 and 18 and 21 contained in the civil grand

jury report entitled ethics in the city promise, practice or pretense. >> okay. supervisor avalos. >> thank you. colleagues i would like to see if we can continue this item another week? i was going through it and i found there's a lot of questions i still have. whether i can vote on it right now? i feel i couldn't vote in favor of this now because there are questions remain for me whether these are the correct responses. given a week's time i can make the determination on that so i would like to continue the item for one week if that is possible. >> okay. supervisor avalos we do not have a meeting next week so would you like to it for two week sths. >> to our next meeting, yes. >> okay. supervisor avalos made a motion. seconded by supervisor yee and okay i would

like to recognize supervisor tang at this time. >> thank you. i just wanted to i guess get a little clarification given that i sit on gao also with president breed as well and i wanted a better understanding of some of the issues that may be there? i do know that we thought carefully about some of the responses and i know that for some of the recommendations made individual supervisors can even even outside the civil grand jury process can introduce legislation to move forward on some of the recommendations made, so i am just trying to get a clarification on some of the -- [inaudible] >> okay. supervisor tang you would like a response from supervisor avalos? okay. supervisor avalos. >> right. i know they can come up with approving a piece of legislation that appears tao and i'm not sure i am in full agreement with all of the responses. i need more time to be able to go through whether i

agree with all of them, and if i am not clear about that i would tend to vote no if we vote today and i would rather not vote no. after another week's time of reviewing the information -- there's actually a lot of responses that are in here that i think are important to be clear on and i would another week to do that, but if we're going to vote today i would probably vote no and if i have work moving forward on recommendations that are in the legislation that's before us regarding ethics i would come forward with it but i would rather not vote in favor of it and then come forward with legislation that is different from what is recommended in this legislation. >> president yee -- i mean president breed. >> thank you. colleagues i strongly urge that we move this item forward without a continuance. we have heard this twice in gao. we made

responses that were approved by the board in the past and these are just a follow ups to a few of the responses that we approved so this report is a year old and i think it's time to approve it and move on so that is my suggestion so i won't be voting to support a continuance. thank you. okay. supervisor avalos did you want to make additional comments? >> yes, i would please. again i'm not saying i am in disagreement with gao and the process and the decisions made. i just don't feel comfortable to vote in favor right now given that i might want to address some of the issues and i wouldn't want to vote in favor and do something inconsistent with my vote. that's why i wanted to postpone. i could very well support it moving forward, but if there's going to be a vote today i will vote no and it's not a vote that is necessarily against the work

that the members have already done. thank you. supervisor campos. >> thank you president breed. i just want to say that i understand a lot of work has been done on this, but i do believe that's it's important to have additional time to look at all of the issues that are raised here, and to the extent that there may be additional legislation that is introduced i think we want to be careful as those that vote that it's not inconsistent with a "yes" vote today and i think simply giving it two more weeks makes sense. >> okay. not seeing any -- supervisor christensen. >> i just want to say that although i obviously report the work of my colleagues on this i think i have a better excuse than supervisor avalos or

supervisor campos for wanting time to be more familiar with this matter so at the moment a continuance would be a preference on my part. >> okay. with that on the item to continue thank you supervisor christensen for your comments. they are taken into consideration here. madam clerk can you please call the roll for a vote to continue this item. >> supervisor avalos. >> yes. >> supervisor avalos aye. supervisor breed. >> aye. >> aye. >> supervisor campos. >> aye. >> supervisor christensen. >> aye. >> supervisor cohen. >> aye. >> supervisor farrell. >> aye. >> supervisor kim. >> aye. >> supervisor mar. >> aye. >> supervisor tang. >> aye. >> supervisor wiener. >> aye. >> supervisor yee. >> aye. >> there are 11 aye's. >> okay. this item passes for

a continuance unanimously to the meeting of january 27. madam clerk at this time since we have 230 special accommodations and a 3:00 o'clock special order i would like to start with roll call and once we reach those time periods -- okay. okay. madam clerk can we please go to committee reports at this time. >> the following items were considered by the land use and economic development committee at a regular meeting on january 12, 2015 and forwarded to the board as committee reports. item 30 is a resolution extending for an additional six month period interim zoning controls requiring conditional use authorization for limited

a number of stakeholders before the controls go into place and i want to thank them. >> okay. not seeing other members on the roster. same house, same call. this resolution is adopted unanimously. madam clerk can you call the next item. >> item 32 is a acquisition of real property on raymond avenue from bridge way vista two for the nominal cost of 1 dollar. >> okay. same house same call. supervisor cohen. >> thank you mad madam president breed. i appreciate the speed we're going through the meeting. >> >> we will be out of here in no time but i want to speak on this item. thank you for hearing this item. this will give the city the ability to acquire this property known as the visitacion valley center. for hundred years the building has been instrumental in

serving for a gathering place for the community and pivotal in the active senior community. we unfortunately lost this building to foreclosure over a year ago going on two years and a tremendously long road to get to where we are today. over the last two years the communities participated in many meetings about the future about this piece of property and i want to thank all of the community members that have remained steadfast and dedicated to seeing this vision come to fruition. it's not just about reclaiming a building but a important symbolic message about this space that this building holds in the community. the city's ownership of the building means that our residents will have a safe and healthy place to gather in the community. it also means we can have a place for families and children to

thrive in the valley and i want to acknowledge the leadership of johnup dike in the mayor's office of real estate and jason elliot and instrumental early on and yoyo chan and my staff. thank you. >> thank you supervisor cohen. not seeing any other names on the roster can we take this item same house, same call. without objection this resolution is passed. madam clerk we have a 230 special order. >> yes madam chair i believe it's from supervisor kim. >> okay. supervisor kim you have a accommodation today. >> thank you and i should ask if john mcknight is here? so last month colleagues as you and many of our residents were quite aware the city of san francisco braced itself -- you're welcome to go to the podium -- braced itself for
