language to provide to us would help ensure there are members of the city workser who can serve on the body. but just not the highest level workers. >> deputy city attorney john gibner, i don't have language saying that but i understand the goal of this amendment is to exclude city employees who are at the director level of departments or deputy director level and we can certainly draft that and prepare it for the clerk following this meeting if the board adopts the amendment. >> great. that will be an additional amendment to this section between on page 5 between line 7 and 12 that we would like to make sure gets included. thank you. those are my, it's an amendment as a whole and includes this language. i believe this is language that was requested by dcy who had concerns about these exclusions. i don't think the exclusion made a lot

of sense except we want to make sure there is not a duplications of leadership involved in these departments and contradict and the oversight committee to ensure there is greater participation and the over site body. >>supervisor london breed: supervisors avalos made a motion. is there a second. supervisor yee. there is no other colleagues on the roster. can we take the amendment without objection? without objection the amendment passes. >> just for clarification madam, that was item 22. >> thank you. >> i just want to thank there are a lot of offices that worked on putting this together specifically supervisor norman yee's office and jen low and my office has played a larger role with a lot of community groups to make sure we had a body that was going to be strong and

made sure we meet the concerns as you had as we bring this legislation forward. thank you. >>supervisor london breed: thank you, do we have a motion to move this item forward? moved by supervisor kim, seconded by supervisor yee. colleagues can we take this item same house same call. with that, we prove this as amended. can we move to our committee reports item no. 31. >> city clerk: an item inform ordinance amending the planning code and to define homeless shelter. >>supervisor scott weiner: thank you very much, i strongly support this item.

particularly section that will allow for the for the one stop shop and between yesterday and today the city attorney did draft them. we distributed them and movement. technical amendments just changing numbers to match other ordinance that will be coming to you next week. i also wanted to suggest the planning department staff has reviewed this ordinance and compared it to the other ordinances that are in the pipeline right now and wanted to suggest an additional amendment. also technical to the definition of

homeless shelter so that it reads homeless shelter, a residential use defined as living and accommodations. just a technical clean up to match with the code. >> so, if i may madam president i will move both of the amendments that we distributed in addition to the oral amendments stated by mr. gibner. >>supervisor london breed: supervisor wiener has moved the amendment. can i have a second. seconded by supervisor mar. can we take that without objection? >> that passes. >> >>supervisor jane kim: i was excited that this worked it's way through the planning commission department that we are specifically defining homeless shelter and establishing it's zoning. i also want to recognize former

supervisor duffy for bringing this to the attention of the planning department in working to clean up this language so that we can have it before the board and also for his work on the navigation center on 1950 mission as well. i think it is a great interim use of the site as we are in preconstruction design phase for the affordable family housing that will be built on this former sf sfusd parcel. i'm really looking forward to us offering really different services that are appropriate to our residents who don't have homes here in san francisco. our shelter system is pretty restricted in terms of people that it can take that live on our streets and do not have places to go to. i'm really excited that we can have a center that is able to address persons that are not able to get into shelters because they are a couple, they are in a group work

community. they have some physical disabilities. they have dogs that have particular needs to keep with them on-site. it's exciting that we have a different way to shelter folks. and base it on the data and demographics that we see on our streets versus trying to have everyone fit into a square hole which is our current shelter system. i'm excited to support this today and excited for the opening in march. >>supervisor london breed: thank you, supervisor kim, supervisor campos in >>supervisor david campos: thank you. i want to add that my office has been working with supervisor duftey and with the mayor's office and the reality is that we have to try something different and we have to think outside of the box when it comes to the issue of homelessness and i really appreciate the fact that we are doing precisely that with

this. i look forward to continue to work with supervisor duftey and the mayor's office and i want to thank my committee which has been really engaged in the very elaborate process that we have developed to make sure that there is as much input as possible and it's been quite an honor for me to be a part of this process and to see that by and large the response from folks in this neighborhood has been very positive and it has not been at least by and large what you would expect which is you know not in my backyard, but instead how do we help, how do we become a part of the sloo ugs for improving the lives of these people. i'm very proud

to see that. the work is not done. we have a lot of work to be done between now and march, but i'm very proud to be a part of this. i think that to the mayor, i think duftey has done a tremendous job of bringing everyone together and it's really hard to imagine that someone else has been able to pull this off. i just want to note that. thank you. >>supervisor london breed: thank you. colleagues, can we take this item as amended same house same call. with that this ordinance is passed on the first reading unanimously. mr. clerk, please go to roll call. city clerk: first member on roll call this evening, supervisor campos. >> thank you, mr. clerk, thank you madam president. briefly, as i noted earlier i'm introducing a resolution today in support of full investigation into disappearance of 43 students

from guerrero mexico. to say i don't usually introduce these types of resolutions but i know for many people in the mexican american community and latino community here in san francisco, what's happening with mexico is really significant and i think it's important for us as san francisco to add our voices to the many voices at the international level that have been raising concerns about what's happening and what is perhaps the greatest crisis that mexico has faced in decades. i want to thank supervisors mar and avalos for cosponsoring this resolution. for those of you who may not know of this situation on september 26, 2014, 43 students of rural university were taken by force and actually still missing to

this day. these students were mostly children from poor rural families who were training to become teachers to serve the rural and indigenous poor in that part of mexico. the mexico failed to promptly take action and did not search for the missing students for some time. this case exposes extremely serious issues with pollution with police officers and crime gangs and use of excessive force. this issue has to be addressed. this was a resolution passed by the city of pomona to support for the relatives and respectfully request and independent and international inquiry as to what happened and a full investigation for the disappearance. this is not an isolated incident in mexico.

some hundred thousands of people have been murdered and 25,000 people have disappeared in mexico since 2006 and according to human rights watch dogs, mexico is facing the worst human rights crisis since 1968. i would like to thank those who continue to bring public attention to this crisis especially rod io and journalist and renown writer who we previously honored today who is among the most distinguished writers and poets in the world. homero. with that, the rest i submit. >> supervisor cohen in >>supervisor malia cohen: thank you everyone. i just want to briefly speak a few

things into the record. first and foremost earthquake round request a follow up hearing. you may recall that there were families and children who were impacted by a shooting and hearst playground back in june 2014. as many of rib the neighborhood camp counselor was fatally shot in the playground basketball courts. as you can imagine the incident impacted people in the valley neighborhood including many youth that are in our unified school district. following the incident, city departments including but not limited to department of public health, district attorney's office, the victims unit and the san francisco unified school district to those who were

impacted receive the appropriate support services they e need including counseling and mental health support and many had to start a new school year after it happened. it is been about 6 months since this incident and i would like to receive an update about this incident including the services they have received and how this is coordinating this effort. it is our responsibility to ensure our young people impacted by this incident are supported, not just the weeks but continually months if need be years. we should be tracking all of their progress and not leave anyone behind. i look forward to this hearing from the respective city departments about this particular issue. later on you will hear a hearing request

that both supervisor wiener and i are coauthoring on. it is a simple request to evaluate our city's police staffing level especially as they relate to our increasing population. i will stop here and let supervisor wiener continue with the introduction. but i do want to call to your attention that during the course of this board meeting there has been another two homicide in the bayview community. it's with great urgency that we begin to have a very swift and thoughtful response to our policing problems. let's also be clear it's not just about homicide but also simple quality of life crime which are car break-ins, robbery, aggravated assault. here is a stack from november 3rd through january 23rd, 2015.

91 pages of the bayview's account, bayview police station accounts of crime that have been committed and largely go unprosecuted. so in the weeks coming up, i plan to have a meeting with the district attorney's office to push on him and ask questions about his prosecution rate and will be moving with extreme deliberate force and swiftness on our city's approach to violence and violence prevention. as you know the budget legislative analyst tooted instituted a report and found that we spent millions of dollars on this but none of the city departments have received this money or any form of coordination. that is something that i'm taking on as a priority and i welcome

my colleagues to join me on this. also want to call into record recognition of a wonderful woman who has been a long time bayview resident recently passed away. her name was ms. rosy lee howard born 1926 in edward mississippi and baptized into the saint james baptist church. at the early age of 16 ms. lee moved with her aunt and uncle johnny. she met her husband of 50 years, mr. vernon howard. to this union, three children were born. two beautiful daughters, vern a lee and interest -- interest

cynthia an. in january she remained a member of the baptist church. she was known as an excellent cook and established her catering service which serves the bayview community and she retires the unified school district on friday january 9th, ms. lee passed away at age 88. she leaves a loving and beautiful family cherished memories with her children, grandchildren, her brother, johnny b harris and sister willie may carter and along with other friends and family that will mourn her loss. we also celebrate her life and time and her legacy and grateful for her

contribution. mr. clerk, the rest i submit. city clerk: thank you, supervisor cohen. supervisor farrell. >>supervisor mark farrell: thank you. i would like to introduce that will be here by a homeless count. this is a requirement of hud to receive funding for homeless services and programs and helps the federal government better understand the scope of the issue here in san francisco. it captures information around our homeless population. i thought i would list a few of them out to include basic demographic information including age, gender, race, ethnicity, homelessness. problems that causes homelessness. employment and income and criminal justice system. data around chronicle

and subhelp population and all the data points i mentioned above in my opinion are vital information marcus for us as policy makers and better for us in the san francisco. i think in my opinion this account is going to serve as a report card as how we are doing in san francisco and also a road map going forward. we are going to be able to see whether our numbers have decreased or increased over the past 2 years. obviously there is though one size fits all solution to this issue as we continue to examine this over the years. i will be going out myself in the homeless count on thursday evening and look forward to that experience and will be a part of that data collection effort. two of the things i know we are going to be talking about both by supervisor wiener during roll call on the passing of bob

morales. i was very shocked to hear that. he was the first person i met her coming to city hall. a great person, incredibly sad to hear of his loss on a personal level but also for the teamsters as well. then also to back up supervisor cohen and wiener on their hearing around police staffing levels. i look forward to participating in that as well and i will be looking forward to cosponsoring it. it's an issue of crime. not only do we have homicide and supervisor cohen, an amazing comment that we've had since we started this meeting a few human resources ago. what i have heard from residents in my district. time and again over the last years it has increased in violent crimes and neighborhood crimes. this issue affects us all maybe different ways in our districts but it affects everyone of us and police

staffing levels is something that is right for discussion here at the board of supervisors and inside of city hall. i think public safety i imagine is going to be a huge priority for a lot of us, i know it will be as we head towards budget season. i know it's a priority for mayor lee and i look forward to participating in that discussion. i want to thank my colleagues for bringing that forward and i know it's just the tip of the iceberg and i thank my colleagues for supporting that. the rest i submit. >> supervisor kim? >>supervisor jane kim: thank you, mr. clerk. i'm introducing two items today. the first is expend resolution with the rec's department with $8 million the san francisco parks alliance on behalf of the south park improvement association. these fundings will be used for the renovation of south park.

this is in incredibly exciting as i mentioned over again san francisco as the fewest and smallers parks in the city so the parks are incredibly important to our neighborhood and our district especially as we continue to absorb the vast majority of density and growth on behalf of the city. south park, i learned is the oldest park in san francisco. the land was acquired in 1987 and established as a park. this park was included in 2012 park as the san diego park. in 2009, the park improvement association embarked on a planning committee process for full renovation of the park. over the last 6 years, spia has been really successful in developing partnerships both public and private and now

working very closely with the san francisco parks alliance and to make them an instrumental partner in supporting this rehab for this park. this grant will be used to enhance the recreation and parks construction budget for people of all ages. the enhance construction budget includes a special play structure, more lighting, traffic calming solutions at the entrance of the park including bulb out and street stamping and crosswalks. i want to thank sdia for securing public and private funds and they completed the $400000 gap that remains in the park and we'll work closely with them to ensure this gap is filled. if there are members of the public who would like to contribute to this park and with a plaque with your name on it, there is a way to donate with

sbia.org. my next item similar to my first point on infrastructure. many of you are ed this morning of the loss of approximately $1 million of developer fees that was supposed to be secured in the soma state fund with a loss account. it included $71,000 for the community improvement account management by the planning department. our office has been gravely concerned with the loss of developer fees that were intended for the improvement of our neighborhoods in particular our parks, our streetscaping and other infrastructure needs. we actually learned of this loss only a little over 2 weeks ago and intended on calling a hearing january 13th and decided not to do so until we met with the mayor's of housing and members of south

of market fund community advisory committee. as mentioned this fund was for infrastructure whether it be open space, community center facilities streetscape improvements. widespread facility and affordable housing. this growth to ensure we are building complete neighborhoods so as we have more residents and workers we are able to accommodate them with increasing transit, open space and other. the cac has been working diligently to evaluate potential projects that would have the most impact for a neighborhood and to give an example, the first infrastructure investment funding street lights across from the park. the only multiuse park in the south of market. in another example of the use of these funds included the acquisition of the united players clubhouse or howard street ensuring that this use of violence

prevention program would be able to stay in the south of market despite the hot real estate environment and an investment to acquire a 5-unit apartment building on toma street on the market rate market and ensure it will remain affordable. we have been working hard to secure funding from this developer and i'm calling a hearing to ensure there is funding reporting on the status of these funds we realize how it's important that how we loss this that there is complicated routes that many developers go through on a variety of different departments and sometimes even other agencies. in this case it was the a bag finance authority for non-profit corporation. as a member of a dag committee i'm also making

a similar inquiry to understand the role and will releasing the gundz back -- funds back to the developer and the mayor's office are unequivocal that we will do everything to ensure that we are making our communities whole. the rest i submit. >> thank you, supervisor kim. supervisor mar in >>supervisor eric mar: thank you. the russian community has a large population of russian speaking people. i want to ask if you could join us along with supervisor mark farrell and breed in celebrating the 27th annual russian american celebration of food, dance, music and art put on by france. the 2015 festival will be located at their center at
