well as a bunch of her colleagues here. we have many deputy chiefs here. [inaudible] from the airport. hector [inaudible] from operations [inaudible] from special operations burey. thank you for being here. since we have dh cheer here, a funny story i want #d to share from one of the police commissioners. often times when chief [inaudible] asks his staff to do something, they have to say ask firs if he asked deputy chief [inaudible] he has the remind them he is police chief, but everyone says they have to ask her first. just a flavor of what she means to the stay. i love seeing [inaudible] in the community and i will miss seeing you but i know you will still be around

probably in plain clothes, but they think for the service to the san francisco police department and want to wish you all the best in your retirement. >> thank you so much for recognizing my right hand, it will be gone soon. you can't list all the things that deputy chief tomeioca does for the police department. on top of other thinks she is a fluteant sumoan speakers and she can calm. she isn't going to be far because she decided she will manage the kids program the fr the side of the police department. she is the best. your day. >> thank you very much. it

it is a amend mns to establish the baloa board to advice the sate on propose td development under the public land for housing program and setting forth the membership z duties >> supervisor u yee. >> this will establish 9 members for the bal bowa reservoir project. i worked with neighbors, organizes neighborhood sogezs and murch toonts insure this is cack and the cack guarantees neighborhoods representation. we now have 6 seats set aside for residence and business owners in the education institution that liver or operate close to the reservoir. it is important for me to make sure that the dominance of the

membership is filled with people that will impact it directly and in fact when i put toort the original cac there were 5 members with the community we added another to insure there is at least 6 members that would be from the community. i believe it is very important that residence, business and education institutions near the site are getting information from the city about the project every step of the way and are given a say in the decision that are made. i envision a committee to be a place where everyone can get the most updated information that the city has and have the necessary conversations about the development on the site. we had a thoughtful discussion at the gao committee and

introduced [inaudible] to memberoffs the public and insure residence and local business owners who will be the most effected are adequately represented. i see this cac as a fundamental meeting place for a very important project in my district, probably beyond my district and it is really a important project for the city. i hope colleagues i can count on you for your support today to give the neighborhood a strong voice >> thank you supervisor yee. supervisor cohen >> thank you madam president. i have a couple qugz questions for you. your aid came by to brief with my office, that you thank you for that. i am

trying to understand the [inaudible] >> supervisor yee, >> sometimes i have to recognize myself. one of the seats for this cac for the bal bowa reservoir project is someone from the bal bowa plan to be on this because we want to make sure there is some strong communication between the 2 bodies. the most area plans are for areas and it gives general concepts to the area and it is note that unusual to have another advisory committee that is spickt to a project. this project is within the area of

the bal boa lan, but it isn't the same. to me i want a cac that is focused on this particular project to give input and assure that's whatever the bal boa plan comes up with that it is consistent with that plan >> thank you supervisor yee. supervisor co00 >> another question for you. we received a letter for item 28 on our desk from a kin tich wnts that is recommending the ocean avenue organizations, is that represented on this body? >> the ocean avenue associations does a lot of work on the corridor and the membership of that association,

the mu jrtd of the membership is business people, so i want to make sure that we have a wide enough scope of the possibilities for business owners to participate in this and hat is why i didn't identify that association to name a business person because if you look at the membership it is really mostly residence. >> that you can, i have no further questions >> supervisor kim >> thank you. i want to ask a questions. it is my understanding this ordinance establishes a cac and if a member of a ocean avenue want to apply sfr the seats they are welcome to and there is a pauss where we pass the legislation where we determine who the membership is >> right, there is-most of the seats are fairly open to

overlapping interest here. some of our real specific to a association, but one could be living at [inaudible] and be a business person. one could be associated with another education institution that will be impacted and within the district. there is a lot of potential and a lot of commitment between our office and the mayors office foolook at that piece of it where there are general definition for membership to look at within districts 7 and 11 to see if there is anyone that qualified for these seats. so, yes, there is the possibility of the ocean avenue association recommending a business person-could be the person that will serve >> thank you. supervisor kim recollect , are you done.

supervisor avalos >> i was consulted by supervisor yee on this legislation and there are many peopling in my district that are away of this project and want to see it move forward and want to be able to express what they concerns are to help shape how the project moves forward and there are seats for district 11 residence on here. there is also a seat for a member of the bal bowa park stationary area citizens advisory committee to be here. supervisor yee whurked with a member of the committee that's is well versed in housing construction.

business and during up coming tunnel project. we would like a hearing to see how businesses are effected by projects city wide and to explore ways the city can better support them. the rest i submit >> thank you supervisor yee. supervisor avalos. >> submit >> president breed >> thank you colleagues. today i'm introducing an up date to finance reform ordinance. san francisco has some of the strongest campaign finance laws in the country and rightly so. our citizens have r entitleed to know who is influencing the votes. unfortunately the campaign finance laws are not a single construct. they are the product of differing and

overlapping efforts that differ and overlap with state laws. what we are left with is a imns patch work of regulation whos complexities can undermine the very goal of transsknaerns accountability we seek >> student achieve. for example, under the current campaign finance reform ordinance, one must consult 5 different sections of the law to sign all the different disclaimer requirements. an independent group such as a neighborhoods political club can be required to file 2 different forms as 2 different times just to report a single campaign mailer. this complexity makes it harder for the paverage voter to assess the information being disclosed and it can by troubling message to smaller organizations and grass roots candidate, don't bother getting involved thmpt

cfro should promote inclusion and not discourage running [inaudible] i'm introducing this legislation to streamline, update and improve san franciscos campaign finance laws. first, the legislation brings our laws into compliance with recent cort decisions by removing local campaign contribution limits that have been struck down. the limit on a individuals total contribution in a election has been unenforced by the city since the supreme courts decision [inaudible] versus the fec in 2014. the limits on contributions to pacts have been unenforced by the city since the district court of northern district of california for enforcement in 2007. the

second, the legislation consolidates and stream lines reporting requirements for groups that distribute adds and mailer in city elections. [inaudible] during the 90 day election to be disclosed within 24 hours. it is requires copies to be file would the ethics commission if the xhunications cost 1 thousand dollars or more. 3rdly, the legislation simplifys the rule frz the disclaimers on the campaign related add said or mailers. these are the paid by for disclaimers in print and on ads that help voters understand who is behind a certain messages. our changes improve state disclaimer requirements by mandating a larger font, twebl point on maler jz smaller written materials imposing a

lower 20 thousand dollar thresh hold for donors and require a reference to information available on the ethics commission website. all together these smart disclosures will simplify and improve the reporting and disclaimer requirements making information more accessible to the public and making compliance easier particularly for grass roots candidate squz smaller nairblds roots. the ethics commission passed this unanimously in jan and want to thank you the [inaudible] and thank you to my colleagues for your consideration >> thank you madam president. supervisor compose >> >> supervisor christensen. >> thank you. in a couple
