>> on december 28 1912. san francisco mayor, sonny jim rolph stared into the crowds of those who have gathered. a moment in history. the birth of a publicly own transit system. san francisco municipal railway. muni as it would become to be known. happy birthday muni, here is to the next 100 years. the birth of muni had been a long-time coming. over the years the city was disjointed privately owned companies. horses and steam and electric-powered vehicles. creating a hodgepodge of transit

options. none of them particularly satisfying to city residents. the city transit system like the city itself would have changes during the san francisco earthquake. the transition that will pursue from this aftermath would change san francisco's transportation system once again. facilitated by city boss, abe ruth ushering in the electric city car. the writing was on the wall. the clammer had begun for the experiment including public transit people. owned by the people and for the people. the idea of a consolidated city-owned transit system had

begun traction. and in 1909, voters went to the polls and created a bond measure to create the people's railway. would become a reality three years later. on december 28 1912 mayor sonny rolph introduced the new geary electric streetcar line and the new san francisco railway. that he said would be the nucleus that would host the city. and san francisco gave further incentive to expand the city's network. a project by way of tunnel leading into chinatown by way of

north beach. in december the first streetcar was driven into the tunnel. just two years after its berth, muni had added two lines. and k, l and m lines that span out from westportal. in 1928 the j line opened heading west to the beach. in 1944 san francisco voters finally approved muni take-over of the market street railway. by then motor bus and trolley bus improvement had given them the ability to conquer san francisco's hills. after the war most of the street-car lines would be replaced with motor or trolley bus service. in 1947, the mayor recommended replacing two lines with motor coaches. and it appeared that san

francisco's iconic cable cars had seen their final days. entered mrs. cluskin, the leader to save the cable cars. arguing that the cable cars were a symbol of the city and she entered a charter placed on the november ballot. it passed overwhelmly. the california street cable railway was purchased by the city in 1952. there were cut backs on the cable car system and in 1957 only three lines would remain. the three lines that exist today. in 1964 the cable car's future as part of california's transit system was sealed when it was proclaimed a national historic

landmark. in february 1980, muni metro were officially inaugurated. in that same year muni received its first fleet of buses equipped with wheelchair lifts. in 1982 when the cable car had a shut-down, they added an alternative attraction to the cars. the festival was a huge hit and would continue for the next four summers in a permanent f-line that would extend all the way to fisherman's wharf, by 2000 the f-line was in place. and in 2007 muni extended the

third line to the southeast corner and returning to third street. for the first time in 60 years. in the course of last 100 years, muni's diverse workforce forged by men and women of innovation have reflected the many cultures that flock to the city. muni's ground-breaking antidiscrimination has guaranteed equal opportunity for all. the city's policy mandates the course for the future as they work diligently to increase options and increase multialternatives, and deduce -- reduce the carbon footprint. it continues to improve the systems. during this sen -- centennial

year we reflect on the transit system. driven not ?oo hi, i'm holly lee. i love cooking and you are watching quick bites. san francisco is a foodie town. we san franciscoans love our food and desserts are no exceptions. there are places that specialize in any and every dessert your heart desires, from hand made ice cream to organic cakes, artisan chocolate and cupcakes galore, the options are endless. anyone out there with a sweet tooth? then i have a great stop for you. i've been searching high and low for some great cookies and the buzz around town that anthony's are

those cookies. with rave reviews like this i have to experience these cookies for myself and see what the fuss was all about. so let's see. while attending san francisco state university as an accountinging major, anthony's friend jokingly suggested he make cookies to make ends make. with no formal culinary training he opened his own bakery and is now the no. 1 producer of gourmet cookies in the biarea and thank you for joining us on quick bites. how do you feel? >> i feel great. >> so i want to get to the bottom of some very burning questions. why cookies? >> it was a recommendation from a friend. hard to believe

that's how it all started. >> why not pies and cakes? what do you have against pies and cakes, anthony. >> i have nothing against pies and cakes. however, that was the recommendation. >> you were on the road to be an account apblt. >> actually, an engineer. >> even better. and it led to making cookies. >> in delicious ways. >> delicious ways. >> this is where the magic goes down and we're going to be getting to the truth behind cookies and cream.

>> this is what is behind cookies and cream. >> where were you when the idea came to your mind. >> i was in my apartment eating ice cream, cookies and cream ice cream. how much fun, cookies and cream cookies. their cookies and cream is not even -- it took a lot of time a lot of fun. >> a lot of butter. >> a lot, a lot, a lot. but it was one of those things. all right, now behold. you know what that is? >> what is that? >> cookies and cream. >> oh, they are beautiful. >> yes, so we got to get --. >> all right, all right.

we treat the cookies like wine tasting. i don't ever want anybody to bite into a cookie and not get what they want to get. we're training staff because they can look at the cookie and tell if it's wrong. >> oh, here we go. >> you smell it and then you taste it, clean the plat palate with the milk. >> i could be a professional painter because i know how to do this. >> i can tell that it's a really nice shell, that nice crunch. >> but inside. >> oh, my god. so you are going to -- cheat a little bit. i had to give you a heads up on that. >> what's happening tomorrow? these cookies, there's a lot of love in these cookies. i don't know how else to say it. it really just makes me so happy.

man, you bake a mean cookie, anthony. >> i know. people really know if they are getting something made with love. >> aww >> you know, you can't fool people. they know if you are taking shortcuts here and there. they can eat something and tell the care that went into it. they get what they expect. >> uh-huh. >> system development and things like that. >> sounds so technical. >> i'm an engineer. >> that's right, that's right. cookies are so good, drove all other thoughts out of my head. thank you for taking time out it talk to us about what you do and the love with which you do it. we appreciate your time here on quick bites.

i hope you've enjoyed our delicious tale of defendant 93 and dessert. as for me, my search is over. those reviews did not lie. in fact i'm thinking of one of my very own. some things you just have it experience for yourself. to learn more about anthony's cookies, visit him on the web at anthoniescookies.com. if you want to watch some of our other episodes at sfquickbites/tumbler.com. see for january 22, 2015 i'd like to remind members of the public the commission that the commission does not tolerate disruptions of any kind please

silence all electronic devices. during the proceeding and when speaking before the commission, if you care to, do state your name for the record. i'd like to take roll at this point. >> commissioner president wu commissioner antonini commissioner hillis commissioner moore and commissioner richards commissioner antonini is present we do expect commissioner johnson but expect commissioner fong to be absent first on your agenda item one c and e at 1631 through 39 oak street and page street conditional use authorization is proposed to turns until february 5th and case two c at 419 clemente street conditional use authorization is promoted inform continuance february 12,

2014 let me see if - >> is there any public comment on items proposed for continuance? okay. seeing none public comment is closed commissioner richards >> oh, yeah. i've heard if the project sponsor on 435 often the discretionary review calendar we were not able to make the hearing we can push that. >> that is not the project sponsor the project sponsor is opposite to that continuance i recommend we take up that matter when i it's called thank you. >> thank you. >> do i have a motion? >> you do. >> move to continue. >> second. >> thank you commissioner antonini on that motion to continue commissioner antonini commissioner hillis

commissioner moore commissioner richards and commissioner president wu so moved, commissioners, that motion passes unanimously 5 to zero and places you under commissioner matters number 3 the consideration of draft minutes for january 8th. >> public comment? sue hester i sent this in writing to you asked you to not approve those are minutes minutes are legal actions of the board when you adapt the minutes your adapting the action on all the cases there was an amendment on the eight by commissioner hillis 230 bryant street not available the motion wasn't available until thursday morning i got a

quote/unquote an amendment when commissioners move amendments two really important things an office allocation is one of the biggest things it has to be in writing in not it needs to be stated it was not stated i pleaded for the staff percent for the amendment and she's out until monday once i adapt those minutes you're saying that you are - that is minutes pardon me the motions in the minutes are an accurate rvenths of what happened they're not for 340 bryant street a they don't exist you've not look at them i know i've landmarked them this morning myself so it is inappropriate for you to adopt the minutes saying this is what happened happened you don't have

the record i don't have it and i've been trying to get it i'm asking you not to do the minutes of january 8th and really think through what our doing your important body you're not doing drs you're doing drs but important other things when someone comes back to the minutes 6 months from now or one or 5 years from now they're not accurate and i'll plead 44 for you to get discipline especially office allocations thank you >> if anyone didn't get my letter i sent it last friday you

can ask me questions but i'm very frustrated thank you. >> is there any additional public comment? seeing none, public comment is closed commissioner antonini >> yeah. in regards to the comments from the public regarding 340 bryant mr. the gentleman and speaker spoke to an amendment by commissioner hillis was the amendment substantial part of what was finally passed? if you remember i'd have to go back and look it up >> for 340 bryant street the result that i have a approve with conditions as amended including the ground floor as pdr finding supporting the conditions and finding that the transportation management plan include the traffic safety and

calming practices that was the motion that was read into the record. >> maybe i'll let ms. hester would you like to any public comment? to that >> the issue here was access and sight it across two freeway lanes h o v lanes there's a public safety issue if you don't have in our motion the motion itself not the minutes if you don't have it if the minutes the language the exact languages no one will enforce it or go by a, to the minutes that's the real word i live in and you live in because your commissioners so if sfls an amendment it should be incorporated into the motion not into the minutes minutes are transparenty who

looks at the minutes to find what the commissions said that's the thrust avenue what i sent you it has to be in the language of the motion it isn't necessary can you read the exact language of motion not of the minutes if you read it - >> okay. >> i've been pleading for it. >> it appears from what i recall that mentioned the traffic calming measures were, in fact, finding not part of the motion we couldn't make those part of the motion it seemed to reflect in general that florida there's a belief the minutes should be more comprehensive i'm willing to bring it back next time. >> just for sclafrt that should

be included with the finding what was determined it shouldn't be at as a condition but part of the motion itself. >> so the question is what is in the motion; right? we don't have the motion in front of us only the minutes but it adapting the minutes basically adapting the motion not in front of you a us. >> deputy city attorney marilyn the motion was the verbiage motion the oral motion they made at the hearing i was not in attendance but that is what the commission passed the written motion needs to prohibit what the motion was as long as the staff was accurate in the motion exactly what the commission did that shouldn't are a bearing on

- the passing of the minutes is the approval of the minutes not another ratification of the motion the motion at the hearing. >> thank you commissioner moore. >> i move to continue the minutes and commissioners comment i'd like to take up the discussion because the issue of motions i think something we need to talk about possible in a subcommittee and rules we had just a few weeks ago a understanding was the motion was repeated by a second commissioner but over the course the real seekers was somewhat gnarled when it comes to the moment we need to review how we make motions and comments and not repeating motions when someone else made the motion it is confusing for the secretary so i suggest in that particular

case continue the approve the minutes to get a better understanding if we have or haven't read the motion and this is clear sailing for the continuation of the minutes i recall based on what you read part of the minutes inch not seen the motion just to be safe i will think we do well, to continue this. >> i second. >> commissioner antonini. >> i would ska ask we just continue item 15 the rest of the minutes can be approved. >> the minutes are approved as a whole. >> it would be best if we continue the entire. >> i hope this is a one week continuance and have the motion in front of of us next week to vote on. >> so two items there's currently no items on the agenda

for next week we can consider that for next week or the week after for clarification sake the written motion should reflect what is said at commission there's the issue of what is said and whether or not the commissions have the same understanding and the written part which the city attorney follows. >> and commissioners if and may when a commissioner makes a motion and it is seconded i try to repeat the motion in a fashion that everyone hears exactly what is the motion and i reiterate that into the record so if need be for clarification we can rewind the audio to exactly what's stated i'm fairly intelligent in writing down that motion so we

capture everything at the time there a may have been i mean some commissioners need not feel the same way and assume something is part of the motion that's been the case in the past so, anyway. >> director ram. >> i wanted to clarify propping u approving the minutes is different than that the motion you're not approving the motion so i think we need to clarify that the motion is written after we take action we take actions everyday that are different in the packet because we change the recommendations there's two separate things it's important you see the motion itself and make sure - it is different than that approving the minutes. >> deputy city attorney marilyn i agree with director ram and add further that you know there's no requirement that

amendments to my motion in front of the commission be present in writing i'm aware of the amendment were so complex the commission chose to continue a hearing to write up a new motion in order to make sure that everything was included in the action it's my understanding that was not the case and the commission gave oral amendments which were reflected in the written versus that's going to be presented going to be finalized and as director ram stated the commissions action is finally not altered but when a by whatever in the the minutes the minutes are a representation of the whole and commissioner richards. >> i agree for clarity we it is not going to hurt us
