densest from district 11 for coming out in good numbers today. it's not often we get a lot of district 11 residents to come to public comment during the middle of the day, and so i think it's really special to acknowledge that. i also want to acknowledge for the many people who have been working for years on these projects, in particular, dan weaver from the geneva office building who has been tireless in his efforts and has been able to mobilize a decade long district 11 support for this project on geneva and san jose avenue, and just more recently, the work around the onondaga sites have been led by a lot of residents but in particular, david hooper from new mission and terrace improvement association, so i want to thank him for his efforts. as mr. rothman mentioned, there's a bernard zack hao*im mural of the comer of

onondaga and alamani, that is a significant local treasure and my office has been working with some members of the committee and the zack hao*im family to make sure that mural's going to stay in place, so part of restoring these buildings is to make sure that that mural will be available for the community x the public to see that will be preserved and that's one of the reasons we've also sought for historical preservation for the health and homesite. so, i really am torn about between rolling the dice today, but i think it would make a lot more sense since i've had a request from the mayor's budget director kate howard to have a conversation with her and the mayor which i will want to do this week and before hearing this item again next week, so what i would like to do is have this item continued. i'm okay accepting at that time maybe next week, we can

do the budget analyst recommendations at that time, but overall, we can continue this for one week, i think that would help have that conversation. >> thank you, supervisor avalos. so, if there are no other questions or comments from colleague, i'm going the see if we can get chair farrell back in the chamber to take action on item 1. >> and i'll have to step out at that point. >> yes. >> do you want to go ahead and make a motion. >> go ahead. >> so, i'm going the make a motion to continue this item for one week. >> second. >> okay, we gt a motion by supervisor yee, second by supervisor tang, can we take that without objection?

supervisor kim, do you want to vote on this? we need supervisor kim, would you like to vote on this continuance? okay, can we take it without objection? okay. so moved. >> the matter is continued for one week. >> alder, mr. clerk, item number 2, please. >> item number 2, resolution amending the city's ten year capital expenditure plan for fiscal year's 2016 through 2025 to provide for the financing of an animal care and control shelt were the execution and delivery of certificates of participation or other forms of indebtedness in accordance with the capital plan's general fund debt program. >> o*blg, thank you very much, mr. clerk, this item was sponsored by supervisor tang, so we'll turn it over to her. >> thank you very much and i do see our director for animal care and control here, i want to thank them and everyone else who has been supportive throughout the years trying to get our new

animal shelter here in san francisco rebuilt. i know our previous conversation was about dilapidated city facilities and certainly the acc building is one of those, which has fallen off of not just one but two bond measures now which is the only reason why i brought forth this resolution which is before us today to amend our ten year capital plan to include this facility as part of the city's certificate of participation program instead of the previous public health bond measure, so i think that at this point, i'm going the turn it over to the capital planning staff as well as our director don hew from acc and see if colleagues have any other questions, and i know that i think supervisor wiener has some comments as well. >> thank you, mr. chair, if i may. >> supervisor? >> first of all, i want to thank supervisor tang for her leadership in bringing this resolution forward, it is sdsh i share supervisor

tang's strong desire the see this project move forward and to make sure we have an animal shelter that is -- a facility that is really worthy of the priority that san francisco has for all animals. we know that animal care and control is our safety net, animal agency in terms of our commitment to the humane treatment of animals, this is an agency that does not pick and choose what animals it cares for, it takes in whatever animal needs help, ther it's an abandoned or abused dog or cat, whether it is an animal found on the street, whether it is a pigeon that someone finds injured on the sidewalk, whether it is a hamster or a lizard or any other manner of animal, this agency is responsible for taking care of those animals, and we need to make sure that we are providing this agency with

the resources that it needs and supervisor tang and i have worked closely over the years on operational budget appropriations, but also to make sure that the facility is going to be safe in an earthquake and meets all the needs of this agency, so i'm very supportive of this measure and i want to thank supervisor tang for her leadership. >> supervisor kim? >> thank you, i just wanted to reiterate the same words as supervisor wiener. i was disappointed i think as other colleagues on the board in termser of the process of how this shelter was included and not included in the public health and safety bond that moved forward in june, but i'm glad we did find another option. i think that this is a very important building to rebuild and to make sure is safe for not just all the animals na we care for and the facilities but of course all the workers inside the building as well, so thank

you, supervisor tang, for your leadership in making sure we found a path moving forward to rehabilitate the site. >> supervisor yee? >> thank you, i'll join the chorus, thank you, supervisor tang, for taking leadership in this and this was one resolution that i strongly support and i wanted to be part of. i was like many of our colleagues was disappointed it wasn't on the bond measure but i'm glad we're find ago way to get to this issue. one thing i was curious about, i know it was brought up not in the formal way, but there was some discussion about whether or not we could build some housing on top of the new facilities that you may be working on. i knower that wasn't part of the plan, but it made some sense to me when i think it

was bevon duffy that mentioned it and he said, maybe it makes sense because a lot of times, we have people who are homeless with their pets and the pets need care and then sometimes they can't get into certain situations because of their pets, so it seems like a good combination, so i'm just wondering if there will be any attempt to look at that. >> supervisor, former supervisor duffy's suggestion came after the plans were already drawn, but perhaps most importantly, we are looking at a historic building at 1401 bryant street and we've been through the historic preservation process and maintaining the roof line as it exists is a major concern to historic preservation, so i don't think we could add housing and move the building up in

any way without changing the fundamental character of the building. na said, i would see no reason why housing could not be located somewhere in the area of the shelter. >> okay, i just wanted to bring it up and hopefully some people are thinking about it, so thank you very much for being patient with this whole effort. >> i can tell you that monthly we're going to the navigation center at the navigation center's request to provide both residents and staff with extra help in training their pets and to deliver materials. we're also delivering all of our donated dog food to the mission and neighborhood network for the homeless community that's there. we're also working with vet sos to provide transportation for dogs of homeless people who are getting spayed and

neutered at no cost so, we're very involved with working with the homeless community and the other service providers would help the homeless. >> thank you. >> thank you, so i'm heather green, the assistant director of the capital planning program and brian strong regrets he can't be here today, he's home sick, i'm batting here for him, i have a presentation here on the computer. great, thank you. so, we are here today regarding the capital plan amendment that supervisor tang mentioned in response to the resolution raised by her, i'm co-sponsored by ten supervisors to amend the capital plan to fund the animal care and control shelter with participation following the adjustment tos the june, 2016 public health and safety bond which are bulleted here. the resolution to amend the capital plan does three

things, it does two thing, it was considered on february 29th before the capital planning committee and unanimously recommended, it moves the animal care and control program to the cop program and it also puts -- there's an item in the resolution requiring the appropriation of funds for that project to be brought before the board in april of this year and those funds would be placed on controller's reserve until the actual cop financing was secured. i'm going the hand it over to virginia to give us a refresher on the project itself and then i can look at the details of the plan amendment for you. >> thank you, first i would like to give you a little back ground. the shelter is in a building that was constructed in 1931 as the purchaser's warehouse, and in 1988, it was quickly converted into an animal shelter when the spca discontinued its contract with the city. it's a hurried up stop gap

measure that has lasted for 26 year, it's time we replaced it. as supervisor wiener already pointed out, we are the city's open door shelter. we provide a vital health and safety service for san franciscans, we are part of the emergency response function and need to be fully prepared for the next earthquake. to fulfill that mission, we need to be housed in a building that will be fully operational after a quake. here are the problems we face, our building is vulnerable and is not expected to be functional after the next mayor quake. obviously that's dangerous for the animals and the staff who work there, but it's also a problem for the rest of the city. one of the major lessons learned from hurricane katrina is people will not evacuate their homes even in extremely dangerous conditions without their pets. federal law now requires that states and cities address the needs of people with pets

and service animals in emergency planning. san francisco's emergency plan depends on acc being operational for 72 hours, able to take care of itself as well as pets displace ined the rest of the city, the shelter does not have an emergency water supply because our roof is not strong enough to hold it and the adjacent land is over a storm covert that is likely to collapse in a quake. if that covert does collapse, we have no way to access our emergency vehicles or our emergency supplies. shelter animals are currently crammed into spaces that don't meet modern animal welfare standards. we don't enough isolation areas to prevent the spread of disease, in the past year, the cats have suffered from ringworm which is extremely contagious both to other cats and people, for those of you who are not familiar with the disease, you can think of it as cat lice and you can

imagine all the fallout from that. the dogs have broken out with canine cough, both outbreaks lasted longer than they should have because we were unable to isolate all the sick animals. our noise levels are extremely high, both for workers and for animal. our ventilation is inadequate, our animal enclosures are outdated and have led to injuries, they also make it much more difficult for our staff to provide care for the animals. our clients are not just animals but people as well. every yaoe, we take in approximately 10 thousand animals, nearly 1300 of those are lost and go back home to their guardians, another 300 are temporarily in our care because their people have been hospitalized, evicted, incarcerated or victims of domestic violence, have lost their home ins a fire or have

died. we also pick up about 1700 animals predominantly wildlife who die on city streets. now, this project proposes to renovate the his toering k i can building at 14 owen bryant street and turn it into a modern shelter. we are requesting 49 million in cop's, that's a reduction because five million of that cost is being taken out of the general fund. we would like to start construction of may of 2018 and we would like to move into the building in october of 2020. >> so, in terms of the revisions and amendments of the capital plan itself, this table shows some of the changes that were made, so the first two sets of

changes are the first two changes are one set which is pushing back the schedule of what was called the replacement detention facility project in light of the reenvision to jail work that has been convened and kicks off its sessions this week, we want to give that group time to weigh in and for the board and the mayor to consider their input and so the schedule for that has been pushed back so that creates space and you can see the 49 million dollars add today the cop program added to the program for 2017. regarding the number around the rdf, you can see it's down from 278 to 251, that reflects a scope adjustment which was made last summer when the city applied for the state financing for that project, it was reduced down from 278 to 240 and then there's an additional 11 million dollars in escalation reflect thing year push-back.

and then on the final slide, we show the office of pub welcome finance has considered the cop program as a whole over the long term and found that we are able to finance this program with cop's while staying within the capital plan's policy of not exceeding three and a quarter percent of the general fund discretionary revenue with cop debt. i'm happy to answer any questions and i'm very thank f for your time this afternoon. >> okay, colleagues, any questions or comments? should we open this up to public comment, supervisor? >> yes. >> okay, with that, i will move this up to public comment, anybody wishing to comment on item number 2? >> welcome to the animal jungle, please give them what they need, they need lots of good things and something to believe ( sickbacker singing ) welcome to the jungle, welcome to the jungle, can't

you see, welcome to the animal jungle, and they'll need a place to go, and they're deserving of this money, please give them the dough, welcome to the jungle, welcome to the animal jungle, this is what they need, a new shelter, welcome to the animal jungle and that's what i have to say, give them good things, make it a better animal day, welcome to the jungle, welcome to the jungle, make it happen, please. >> thank you. next speaker. >> hi, good afternoon, sally stephen rkts sf dog, i just wanted to thank everybody for keeping at this. a lot of us, we were working for the new shelter for year and is we were sdis appointed

it wasn't going to be in the bond and now it's going to happen, i wanted to especially thank supervisor tang and the capital planning committee and their staff as well as city administrator kneel mckelly and her staff for pushing to make sure this doesn't get lost in the shofl, that's what everybody was concerned about and i'm fully supportive as everyone i know in the animal welfare community of this resolution and i want to thank everybody for keeping it going because we really do need a new shelt e it will help everybody, both animals and people and let's get it done, thanks. >> thank you, next speaker. >> good afternoon, supervisors, and thank you again for addressing this issue and trying to push it forward this time. my name is laurie, i'm the director of operations at the mutt field [inaudible] i've been working on that block for 17 years and have been going to animal care and control throughout that time and i would like to

reiterate, it is an extremely vibrant building full of people, full of activities, a lot of different needs and the fact that it is seismically unsafe means it has to be a priority today and also as it was mentioned, the shelter is not modern and a lot of the issues with regards to the animal housing and the animal care, they just kind of compile, so when you have sick or stressed animals, it's a lot harder for animal care and control to place them, so thank you for your work here and pushing it forward. >> next speaker. >> my name is ray enlighten, i'm an owner of a couple of pet stores called patrero here in the city and we work with several different adoption agencies, the smaller ones and especially with animal care and control and we've seen firsthand as a resident, as a business

owner of the good work that animal care and control has done the last 15 years we've been in business and we really are thankful that you guys are in support and helping move this forward from a business perspective here in san francisco as well. thank you. >> thank you, next speaker, please. >> good afternoon, supervisors, my name's john, i used to have an office in the building before i retired, i was with the police department with the vicious and dangerous dog unit and i just -- there are a lot of challenge ins the building currently but i just didn't want you to take that to mean that staff isn't less than world class and our shelt ser probably one of the best kept wonderful secrets, the building needs work, they need a new building, but the staff and the volunteers really make this the envy of the country, it's really quite something, so i just despite the problems with the

billing, i didn't want you to think that reflected on the staff in any way because they're absolutely outstanding, thank you. >> thank you. any other members of the public who wish to comment? seeing none, public comment is closed, supervisor tang, and before i turn it over to supervisor tang, i also want to thank you for your leadership on this issue. i don't think we would be here without your persistence and i think this entire board supports but it's because of you, so thank you very much. >> thank you, and thank you again to everyone who came out and worked so hard on this, especially our capital planning team, our mayor's budget office, the public finance office who's going ton working very quickly to make this happen so that we'll have legislation for the i appropriation in the springtime, i wanted to raise one other issue that had been in the press previously when we were having this debate and just to make sure we're clear on the record, my time is up i guess, which is that there have been some concerns about move thing acc, the

animal shelter into the cop program and that it's costing more than it would have been than under the public health bond, i want to reiterate based on information we had received from our city staffser especially at the public finance office, really some of the key differences between funding projects through go bonds versus the cop program is under the go bond, it's backed by the property taxes or property owners and taxes of the city and county of san francisco, the rating is higher under that program, so the interest rate is slightly lower than under the cop program and the length of time is also slightly shorter than compare today the cop program, so and then tuned cop program, again, a slightly higher interest rates, a few more years longer in terms to have term of the loan, the financing, as well as the fact that you have to maintain a reserve account, so all of those things mean

that the cop program in general regardless of what project you're funding, those projects will always cost more than any project funded under go bond, so i wanted to make sure that that was really clear, it's not that the acc is all of a sudden costing a whole lot more money, it's just a fact of the two differences in the programs. so, with that said, again, thank you to all of my colleagues would had co-sponsored this resolution with me, i think we got really lucky this time around that there was space and room in our cop program to fund the shelter but as i said before, i hope in the future that this doesn'tbacker doesn't happen again where we are at the very last minute trying to make adjustments to our city's ten year capital plan and what we had put forth in terms of bond proposals, so thank you very much and so i'm happy to make a motion then to send this forward to the full board as a positive recommendation. >> we have a motion by supervisor tang, seconded by supervisor kim, and we can take that without objection. mr. clerk, do we have any

other business in front of us today? >> i would just like the note that vote passes without objection with supervisor yee being absent. >> correct. >> that completes the agenda for today. >> okay, thanks, everybody, we're adjourned. ( meeting is adjourned ).

parks and places of communicated and thanks to the mayor and the department of technology and supervisor farrell and google. we had a very very unique partnership that was able to bring wifi to our most heavily used

parks and squares. >> parks in particular are really important way of life and quality of life and so is connectivity. bringing those two things together in a project like this is right on target with what san francisco is and wants to be. >> it's all about breaking apart the divide. the people with expensive data plan can have access to information and economy. this is really breaking down the digital divide and giving people across the spectrum the opportunity to information and giving them mobility and freedom. >> particularly by investing in connectivity in park spaces we are also ensuring the connection to digital inclusion opportunities and parks are designed for all neighborhoods. >> people are on the move. they are no longer chained to their desk tops at home. people can accomplish a

lot and we prefer them being here an enjoying the outdoors and nature. given all the mobile community and mobile information that's available. we thought it was important to make it for our parks acceptable for everyone and give everyone the opportunity to live and to work and be at the parks at the same time. >> our full mission in life is to give them access to the internet, give them access to information. in san francisco you don't have to be bottled up in an office. you can be around and enjoy your work anywhere. it's great for the local community here and it means a lot to me. >> in the park, you are people that can teach you about the trees in the park and you can go to parks and recreation .org and having wifi in our

parks makes it more accessible. if you want more information about how to enjoy wifi in san francisco parks, go to >> i would like to call to order, the finance committee to order. our chair, spurp mar will be here shortly, and i'm lon down breed and we are going to get this started. to my left supervisor norman yee and jane,

kim and we should call the record. >> commissioner breed? snechlt here. >> compos? >> absent. >> kim >> present. >> mar? snechlt absent. >> yee. >> here. >> could we approve the minutes, without objection, those are approved. >> we will take the public comment. when public comment has been completed. >> all right. let's get to item number, 3. and we are now joined by commissioner mar. who is the chair of the committee. >> item three. state and federal leg sislativep date, this is an action item.

>> welcome. >> happy to be here today. i thought that i would give this a brief, overview of where we are at the capitol and where we are. >> could you identify yourself? >> i am sorry, yes. >> mark watts, advocate for the transportation, authority in sacramento. the legislature welcomed the new assembly speaker yesterday, when he was sworn in and he was elected in january and so he is now, fully in charge of the transition has been completed. and it was a very, very, happy ceremony. and i think that he has filled out priorities for his term. and i think that they will suit the state very well. beyond that, where we are in the legislative process for the capitol, is on a sheet of paper here that i can't seem to find.

>> darn it. i apologize, here we go. the end of february was the last day to introduce measures and you will see that reflected in the matrix today, where we have gotten about 40 bills, that we reviewed and made recommendations on. and i will come back to that in a moment. but next major deadline for legislation would be april, 22nd. for the bills that were introduced in late february. and they have to clear the first committ committee or they are dead or they are dead for the remainder of this session. there is a spring recess in the midst of this process, on march 17th, and march 28, they will be in recess, so the hearing for these measures will be very, very, heavily attended. and very, heavy agenda. s and as they try to get through all of these by the end of

april. in terms of note, on transportation, funding, which is a strong interest around the state right now, senator bell, has a measure in the special session and he intends to amend and we had hoped to see that on monday or tuesday at this point in time, his office says that he is refining some of the amendments, his amendments will add significant amounts of funding and finance for transit projects. even though the main balance of the bill will be focusing on the state and local, road repairs. there is an indication that the administration may elect to move on with a more stream lined proposal in about $2 billion range, that would not require a super majority vote in the legislature, we are trying to understand if that is something that they are working on. but there are indications that there are, or there is a preference to try to get a small

amount of funding for state and local road repairs, rather than make the push for the larger amount, that is represented in senator bell's bill and the assembly member's frasier's bill. and i will be keeping you abreast of the developments as we go through the next couple of weeks. in terms of the matrix of the legislation, there are 13 specific recommendations that we are making to you. one is a changed position, and then the other 12 are new bills for your consideration. and in addition, there is like 32, or 33 other measures that we have recommended watch for one reason or another, and they have may have applied to a policy area, where there is not much flesh on the bill at this point in time and many cases there are spot bills on topics that may become of interest. and so rather than trying to find them again, when they get amended and we put them on the watch and that allows us to

monitor that flux more evenly. and so if you would like, i can cover the 13 measures, starting with the first one, which is ab 1550 on page six. this is a position we had recommend that opposed in the past. and we are recommending watch. and it deals with disadvantaged communities in the cap and trade area. it did not change for the proportions of the projects or the funding that is required to be spent in the disadvantaged communities and as you may realize, or you may recall from the first go around of the money and the disadvantaged communities in the region did not fare well because of the way that is designed, and this bill, takes another step and leads the current, 25 percent requirement in place, but as the requirement and 25 percent of the funding must be for projects that benefit, low income households.

and so, what we have or why we are recommending moving to a wasatch front rather than oppose. we would like to continue working on the definition of disadvantaged community more in the background and working with there is a green gas reduction, and working to see if we can improve the disadvantaged definition. and we are asking for your changed to a watch position. >> i just wanted to thank you so much for being sensitive to the low income communities. and in some ways whether they are in the san francisco bay region or east la, so that we are taking in some ways a regional and even a state wide approach to equity but policies, but thank you. >> and we have seen a number of these types of measures over the last couple of years, and we are recommending oppose on ab 1768, and on page 10 of the matrix, and essentially, it directs,

the, remainder of the high speed, rail bonds to be used to pay off the, outstanding high speed, rail bonds, effectively, turn nighting the stream for the project and so as a consequence, we are recommending oppose. and in the several more and i will cover them briefly, because i don't think that there is going to be concern about the recommendation and we are recommending oppose on 1866 on page, 12. and this would redirect, the remainder of the high speed, rail bonds to the state water project funding and again, that is a major change in the high speed rail. and we think that the policy of this before you is for the high speed rail program. and the next measure, ab1886, we are recommending a support and i have to tell you that i have to draw a diagram, three or four

times before i fully understood this one. and essentially, there is an exemption provided within the e seqa, where 25 percent of the projects are no further than a half mile. this takes it to 50 percent, so no more than 50 percent of the land mass, is an expansion of the sequa expansion for these types of project and we are recommending a support position. ab 1964, on page, 14 is another, and a long series of bills, over the last couple of years, this one is little bit different than the ones that we have seen before. this simply extends the white sticker, authorization, to access hov lanes, and the white stickers are pure, battery and electrics and the natural gas vehicles as distinguished from the greenstickers, when are the hybrids. and so this, applies only to the

white sticker vehicles, but they are growing in sales, and the population throughout the state, is growing. and the concern is, that allowing, the continued and expanding access of the hov lane and so we recommend an opposed position. >> ab2034, on page 15, recommending the support position to you. and more than a decade ago, the federal government, authorized the delegation, to state transportation departments. to over see nefa, of the reviews, within their state. and that was enacted and it has been continued once and this simply continueses that authorization at the state level to allow cal transin circumstances to administer and over see both nepa and sequa

documents but i will not comment on the effectiveness, but it is a continuation of an existing policy. and what will bring the high speed rail program to an end. it says that no more bonds could be sold. >> and it will have to go back to the voters and so there is a double layer of protection against this becoming effective. because i don't see this measure moving forward but that one is found on page 15, if you would like more details or more information. we are also recommending support on ab, 2126, on page, 16. of the matrix. and this applies, to the state's current authority to utilize construction manager, and general contractor and authority, for administering projects, large scale, complex, projects and it will be coming to another bill, similar to this in a moment that applies to you, about you this applies, only to the state. the state has the authority to do six and they have occupied the six slots in statute, and

this will extend it to 12 for cal trans, to administer. >> mr. prazir is the author. and the state, highway and protection program is the main program or the main, financing source at the state level for the projects that are approved or we construct that provide, major maintenance and reconstruction, as well as the operational funding to operate the state highway system. and the funding is generally, only available to the cal trans. and the ctc and the annual report, recommended the expanding a one small provision within this program to allow the operations, to also have capitol improvements. so previously, up to now, the operations will be you know, widening the guard rail, and you

know, expanding tauxiliary lane, and this allows for the capitol projects to qualify for the same projects. this bill, ab2374, was introduced by mr. chui. and we are recommending that the transportation authority not only support but register as sponsors of this measure, because it came from staff conversations with the author's office. and it would uniquely expand, or authorize, some what uniquely authorize, that the ramps, for the -- island, program and the ramps that connect to the bridge system, would be eligible utilize the cmgc authority just like we, or just like cal transhas now for a certain number of projects. and i would specifically be targeted towards some of the complex engineering and construction that is anticipated

for phase two of the ramp project. and i have been doing a lot of due diligence with state engineers and other folks who have had concerns in the passed about the similar authority. senator bell, has introduced sb 1066 which is on page, 35, and we are recommending a support for this measure, it does not appear to do much on the surface. and it is more of a place holder sponsored by the -- and what it does is it provides in the state law, the authorization for the new fast act revenues approved by the federal government and by congress to flow to the regular programs at the state level that we anticipate them to. and in essence, it does not really change the law, but it is, and it, it would, actually be operative, if it were to pass. the game plan, however, is for the self-help counties to have,

a joint, jointly, jointly managed bill that they can work on in case there are wrinkles in the fast act that the people have not anticipated and some of the funding formulas. so this is to preserve their option is to move the legislation. and senator glazier from the east bay has introduced us, and we are recommending the support position and it is on page, 35. the mtc, has commute benefits ordinance, and they have the authority to adopt a commute, benefits ordinance, and that is soon to expire. and this was, simply, extend that authorization, indefinitely, and consequently we are recommending support. and the final measure for your consideration, is sb, 1259, by senator runner, and on it is page, 36 of the matrix and we are recommending oppose. this picks up the idea that have

been attempted several decade or more to allow veterans with special, decals and the ability to access toll facilities and there has been similar, authorizations in other states, where we have, and the reports are that, it can result in fraud. and associated decreases in the toll revenue. so, it is, mainly an issue of equity. with that i bring my oral part of the presentation open for questions if you have. and i will try to answer them. i am still trying to digest all of the bills. there is more than 1,000 in each house. >> so questions colleagues? >> i wanted to say on the sb1128, by glazer that the bay air quality district, and the community benefits policies and give many options or a couple of

options to employers, and i think that is a really important one in insuring that we are reducing greenhouse gas and trips as possible. and the coalition that are really trying hard on automatic speed enforcement. and the speeding cameras. but i know that some communications with some of chui's office were fruitful up until the last minute but we are hopeful that there is legislation that comes forward, but it is a little disappointing but i want to give a shout out for the work behind the teams on those efforts but thank you so much, mr. watts for the great presentation. and commissioner yee? >> thank you, for your presentation, and i know that you mentioned some bills may not have all of the details, necessary, or whatever, and so you are watching it. and one of them may be, under or possibly may be ab 1677.

>> on page, 9. or 17? >> i guess that what i would like to do is to move that to suggest that we urge you to move it from watch to support. and the reason for this, is because this is a bill that, so that the board of supervisors have already passed a resolution to support. and we want to keep it consistent and we want to keep the heat on. and we are actually, my office is working with the senator on this particular bill and we are trying to give them as much information in terms or suggestions about the bill, as possible. hopefully, we will have some meat on it. >> so, commissioner yee has made a motion to add, ab 1677 from the move from watch to support.

is that your motion? >> yeah, this is in regards to the tour buses. in terms of making it possible for local jurisdiction or the local government to have the additional inspectionses as sort of the general idea. >> is there a second on the motion. >> so it is seconded by commissioner, breed. so we are adding 1677, to the action list, presented by mr. watts. any other comments, colleagues? >> let's open this up for public comment. is there anyone from the public that would like to speak? >> seeing none, public comment is closed. and so on the motion to add ab1677, from a watch to a support, position, could we do that without objection? >> the house has changed. >> so the house has changed. roll call on the motion. >> breed? >> aye. >> campos? >> absent.

>> kim. >> aye. >> mar. >> aye. >> yee? >> aye. >> the motion passes. >> and then now on the recommendations on the new bills and the recommended positions can we do that same house, same call? >> yes. >> thank you. >> thank you, so much mr. watts. >> next item? >> item 4, introduction of new items. this is an information item. >> so let's open up this for public comment, anyone from the public that would like to speak? public comment is closed. next item. item 5. ? >> general public comment. >> good morning, commissioners. (inaudible) trueself or well-being. (inaudible) money, (inaudible) making oneself a well-being. (inaudible)

>> thank you. >> next speaker, anyone else? >> i would like to speak about number, 18, please? if you could go to 18. so i think that we have already handled. >> you might be in the wrong meeting. >> i apologize. >> or actually i am sorry. i apologize. >> i think that the proper time would have been when we were dealing with the legislation. but you could speak on general matters. >> that is fine. >> okay. so seeing no other public comment, we will close public comment. and mr. stamos next item >> item 6, adjournment. >> thank you for coming today. meeting adjourned..

>> we all know a major earthquake will eventually hit san francisco are reproerl presented san francisco is making sure we are with the public safety buildings. >> this consists of 4 consultants the police headquarters with the from 850 with a brand new fire station number 4 to serve mission bay

swimming pools at office of economic workforce development in the fire station thirty. >> is the the hall of justice on bryant the new home for 2 hundred and 50 uniform and voiven compresses we all it was opened in 19 so sociothat is a 50-year improvement as far as structure and work environment had that will be a great place to work. >> when construction began in 2011 this was with an clear goal to make sure with the big one heights the resident will will have a function police department those are the highly seismic standards it is up to operate up to 96 hours from the police department perspective that building is self-sufficient for a main made arrest in all

disastrous zake ever after we will run our operational from here no matter what happens this building and the people that serve the businesses will continue to function building is designed to meet lead goal certification and also to art installations on the campus that was designed and constructed to better sense of ability so for example, we're using solar water heaters we're also urging gray water for reuse inform flush water and rainwater for the cooling and irrigation locked on third street and mission rock is it serves the motorbike neighborhood and motorbike i moiks is a growing neighborhood and the intent of the bond to have please and fire serves to serve the community.

>> hemming helping to keep the building and the stay safe was the not the only opportunity it creates many jobs with 82 bleb businesses overall san franciscans contributed one hundred and 87 thousand hours to help to complete the project it shows the city of san francisco the elected officials and police officers and more importantly the voters that paid for the building this is what we can do with when we wrorpt this is a beacon when we need to build new extra we can trust them with the money and the plan they did a good job the san francisco public is a reminder of the importance of being presented and will continue to serve the residents for decades to come

your agenda for item 9 the sea level this is a presentation. >> bill keeling with any is diane from citywide i wanted to she was go through that and give you a sense of what is the report delivered to you today, i wanted to begin by saying that if you'll recall a little bit over a year ago we brought in front of you a 5 year port plan for citywide planning division to put our arms around the biggest challenges facing san francisco and work on the big challenges over the course of 5 years a year into that fireman you may further recall that the notation of quantity and diversity were for the first big

challenges we wanted to take on to we've been talking that over the course of the building plan and identified mobility and assess as we are that coming up with a 21st century zigs of how mobility ought to work the city we're beginning to work on probation officer issue the third one has to do with with focusing on liveability as depicted by how we use our open space the public realm we've been brinkman you products confusing the urban design center and so forth and so on and more on that line? the first time we've presented anything subsequent to you on the fourth topic when guess the resilience and how the city might prepare itself for the effects of climatic change and principle

among those concerns the sea levels rise with the flooding that's the tophic topic of today, the mayor has been concerned about the phenomena and asked the city agencies come together in an interim internal task force i heard is with the deputy director of public works that couldn't be here today but have or has a person speaking today and we spent about the past year gathering all the departments that have any sort of examining or extra related functions the departments to come together and understand sea level rise and the action plan how to address those this is somewhat focused on actions

to be taken by the city departments but it also calls for ways in which to reach out to the community and the region frankly with confident how to shape the community going forward so in essence this document is a call to action not prescribing any solutions now it is simply elevating the issue and the importance of the issue and laying out in broad strokes to prepare for sea level rise i'll hold any comments and boris is not here ask diana to give a presentation there are representatives from the other department and i'll be happy to answer any questions you may have. >> afterward and joined by patrick the chief resiliency officer and who will make remarks part of that is funded

by the rocker fell i'll be happy to answer any questions you may have. >> but love to have diana give you a more detailed introduction now. >> thank you can i have the computer please. great good afternoon, commissioners i'm diana i'm a senior planner the planning staff in the citywide planning division i was fortunate to staff this high-level committee made up of the departments that touched sea levels eyes rise the city and the mayor convened this committee the committee produced the action plan i'm incredibly proud to present to you today it

was provided under the leadership of public works as who're and bill keeling and under the leadership of the mayor's office - 36 inches from the ends the century projections that will happy the number for ceqa and important approvals the city and all of those numbers are the same numbers in want capital improvement plan with the capital improvement plan committee several months ago so all the numbers you see the

action plan railroad numbers we use for ceqa and project approvals and other guidance documents and this action plan, however, does consider adopted strategies to have the councils upper range for the planning purposes only 66 inches were the bottom right square and end the century 36 inches add 40 inches of storm surge you get approximately what the sewer rise is you know the 106 or 108 figure and those numbers are the sucking documents and all the -

infrastructure will increasing be at risk this shows our sea level rise the upper range for the end of century what the blue line shows and note also this line shows

sea level rise the end of century with no action by the city or the development committee that's not the case it is something we just use for planning purposes for the pumpers of equivalent and risk by the city and now into the future the cost of an action this major piece of work that the mayor's office requested when we he convened the committee and since the work that was funded and paid for by patrick office and how it relates to the rockefeller program we now have the information that shows you the costs for public and private property and again just to note that is you know the figures you look at the end of century worst case scenario i ever seen i want

to underscore those numbers are not convert their replacement costs for public and private property don't account for job loss and services and the like so i don't know that the number will group that is the first cut at looking at the vulnerability zone what happens and this shows our oncooutreach and engagement around the border all 3 of the borders on the west coast the amendment an extensive outreach for the seals rise and climatic change that is truly exciting for the city to be doing that and working in

collaboration the coastal commission all the departments did their own outreach and support that is highlighted through the waterfront land use process i will moot if for many of the projects the city is partnering are waterfront master plan to establish the contributions for the strategies through 9 infrastructure design and i think that is really going to provide a key resource for 9 instantaneously the future this shows our equivalent risk assessment to date it is outstanding to the airport, working that are durability did a lovely setting on the

communities looking sea level rise end of century but there's more work to do and that's listed in the right hand column this is our planning framework at the it highlighted the executive summary the report and it really is kind of our wheel it is starting with reviewing the science and conducting of assessment and modifying the and starting all over again as the scientific chance it is important we don't stop bans the upcoming guidance of the day our action plan it is the centerpiece of action plan that includes actions under each of those phases of the adaptation

i'll highlight a few that are recommend the internal revenue service if to really have the equivalent risk assessment what is in our equivalent zone and other risks and taking all of those assessments from all of the different segments the city whether water system wastewater and putting them together and making a more demonstrated especially what is at risk and which direction to go first and how we can work together and collaborate to make that happen the next key recommendations all i'll talk about for the regional design challenge to to the final key recommendation that is you are citywide adaptation plan. not to be xhoocht and inspiring

but acholic beverage with the stakeholders the community and also our geographyic neighbors and this is a little bit more about the design miff the idea to have the bereft minds to determine how we might adjust to sea level rise and build a future for the bay area some of my partners talk about some of the regional coordinations and some of the partners are spur, bcdc and the san francisco institute abag and climate

institute all agencies to work together to develop a conversation the spirit and unifying call for action around sea level rise and our geographic partners are listed for san francisco oakland and berkley and santa fe and marin county and palo alto this is our governance for implementing the action plan a at some point how we're recommending to be implemented we are looking forward to continued leadership with the mayor's office and continuing of the saechl rise co-op committee for the departments to work together and talk about what they're doing to make sure we coordinating with each other for a common language. the risks and the equivalent and we work together to implement the main projects the next 10

and 20 and thirty and 40 years you'll note on the left-hand side we are calling for the collaboration with public and private cigarettes and of our shareholders it is important that we deserve to have a acholic beverage plan with the families and the neighborhoods and business community and public sect our we need to work together with the partners >> this is for the east coast what we can accomplish and it is due to the work i do

thank you i'll be happy to answer any questions you may have. >> and i know there are representatives as gil mentioned from many of the departments and folks are happy to answer any questions you have and - >> i have one. >> sorry. >> i actually would like to introduce patrick our chief resiliency over that want to say a few things good afternoon commissioner you're familiar with the roovt rauft grant for this has been actively doing for a long time the exchange for this plan not only how do we take that and accelerate it to improve new ones to take them around the table and with additional funding with the grant for

strategic dollars that were used by the project managers but then we had an porn engagement with a company called r ms with a long history in san francisco and monitored the existing scenarios we used after a major earthquake and we challenged them to do the sea level revise it would not have been done in house but i want to say that is very much a city effort i think because of successful model because the consultant was working was matched by staff so i'd like to recognize 3 people that were there g did an amazing job one you've heard from lisa and others from my staff and they did a tremendous amount of work with no charge of the budget it

is nice to see them coming together and diane talked about the resilience by the competition we're excited but from - ma many of you know there are resiliency officers this is would the one thing to focus on the regional part so we have one big cloeltd plan with the regional support and often we're not the same room together but it is great to see them thank you. >> opening it up for public comment if there is any additional staff? opening it up for public comment

thank you for the thoughtful presentation this commission has looked a number of projects sea level rise and one that treasure island and one hunters point and the other one is candle stick point i would like to ask a critical question a tough one maybe on a single answer but on the wonderful spirit you showed us the fund that downtown what we call downtown is at some point maybe effected however, when you have a fully built up city what can you do and even though answer the question part we have low lying areas and people that read newspapers and each time a wind comes people are alarming us

their flootsdz on the normal conditions in 2016 to now how are we looking at adopt the first part of the question and what are the file measures we have people in low lying areas to not be further impacted for major regional sustainability measures are in place >> yeah. then he can start and trying to answer our question and additional thoughts so i think the challenge is we are many different infrastructure systems coming together in one place in areas of our city the transportation system along the waterfront and port property we have water system infrastructure wastewater infrastructure so it has to be a multiple prong

approach to protect the city there are some simple and some challenging solutions some of the solutions are making sure we have backflow techniques when the water is building up the system we don't let it back into the system we measure the infrastructure and push the water back out and prevent flooding there are so many other engineering solutions that are out there will be lots of ways to protect our city if a regional issue in terms of the wastewater and we have a tuitions system there are initiative exciting ways to address the problem that don't fall on the waterfront people and adds to the aesthetic nature of our city. >> so i'll add thank you

commissioner moore for pointing out there are thoughtful responses want to use this one so - i mention some for thought as you say there are other areas that are quite vulnerable and waters gets into one place and part of the response to your question we're looking one of the short term was in terms of the the clean out from the immediate flooding and is subject housekeeper is really about out in in front over the long term of increasing the sea level rise for example, we think will dovetail with the ports seawall where they're doing the assessment the equivalent that maybe more vulnerable during an

earthquake and as they do the assessment on potential near term engineering solution how might this change for example, come with better ideas how to protect the downtown waterfront as well as some of the low lying areas the thing there is will be a design challenge and hope to bring in highly qualify team that will be looking at those and we'll unsustainable need to do the financial costs and over time so it is a very good point a lot of work over the next year's. >> commissioner antonini. >> well, thank you very much i assume you're doing the best practices because this is - this

would be good do talk about they deal with that on the ongoing basis and i think about the seawall that is one thing but the peers that are still in existence many have been restored how far is the leeway to the because of the pier. >> i guess it varies. >> yeah. i don't know if there is a port representative here today you do a much better job than i in answering the questions. >> hi. >> good afternoon commissioner president fong and commissioners brad benson director of special prong forces the port we have been looking at the sea level rise issues we appreciate the leadership that the planning department staff and san francisco public works has shown in the process

fema has published flood insurance rates they give us a sense in a base flood condition the total water level that happens when you have a one year storm we've been able to measure those compared to the pier decks neither 12 to 18 inches above the base flood elevation that is landfill inches of sea level rise for the projection of 8050 a handful that the base flood evaporation is higher and starting to think about those provisions for those piers to anticipate what happens in the sea level rise scenarios. >> thank you very much there might be a way to seal those up the other thing i'll assume

you've applied the strategy to raise the wall we have permanent quite a bit of time the worse case scenario 66 inches by in the worst-case 66 by 11 hundred and so it would seem like if you add 8 feet you'll pretty much cover everything in my estimation. >> this is exactly 9 challenge we're putting forward to the design teams that will be coming in given the ultimate level of protection that be permanent sea level and what's the best kind of response and the bcdc will be a partner and other agencies so i think that will shape things up when the future waterfront

might look like. >> that makes a lot of sense it is better to have the preservation there are ways to have gambles or other maples that people can take stairs down to the waterfront and they can assess that but a rise wouldn't useable the future that's right. >> unfortunately, we have time this is a full moving emergency it is coming. >> part of the discussion has to do with with this piers tall falling into the ocean i see that as a different issue than the sea level rise with strong rains those cliffs are vulnerable i'm not sure why they fall into the - >> we on the sea level rise

includes the climatic change with the increasing storms will exasperate the conditions. >> thank you thank you for the presentation i think i find this fascinating long term planning and the funny irony of san francisco there's a boat and to the point you don't do anything - but as you go along the entire circumference of the city the approach to the east side and west side is different than theed of the city with the properties and we'll do a - that requires a separate individual solution so i'm

campfire curious about the gone out interest is opportunities for 66 inch higher to - kind of curious about the 36 versus the 66 the so ceqa is at the 36 inches; right? and we take the highest so we'll prepare for the worst there is no question; is that correct is it possible that someone can design with 66 with the ability of going up in time and the blokes blocks treasure island is one of the developments that has that exact feature integrated into the plan what we're calling adapt active capacity to be raised over time and the financing infrastructure the city over time. >> got it perfect, thank you.

and kind of curious about the levels of intervention levels i guess back to my initial point every house will be different some are built back and up. >> one observation. >> yeah. i think there are varying things in each situation is different this is exciting and challenging about this that when you how you scale that and what's going to work for a particular neighborhood and development a particular group of stakeholders our work is going to involve a lot of outreach and a lot of engagement for the public dialogue we actually can put in place what communities want and need in each particular area. >> great. thank you very much commissioner hillis. >> thank you. we often get

the question here as people are building out in areas that are vulnerable with sea level rise why to build here looking forward we don't control what we collectively control what is happening not at the local level looking forward to areas that are not developed or take future development that is got vulnerability - have other jurisdictions kind of faced that question along with you know we're not going to build in areas that are vulnerable. >> yeah. i mean the question is it is tricky when we want to insure that it is important that they collided with population

growth and sea level rise coming together we want to make sure we're building neighborhoods in san francisco now and in but future and not foreclose those opportunities a common development that protects life and safety and your infrastructure forever and there are opportunities for retreat but they are somewhat limit and ocean beach and the pacific coast we're looking at the puc in particular and in with spur are taking a leadership role with the masters plan and that works on the pacific coast with the infrastructure in place whether or not i can't labor day but moving the great highway

landward and rerooting traffic around the trail system so i think there are opportunities in san francisco for retreat we need to make sure we're doing that thoughtfully and not destructively the people the neighborhoods. >> commissioner moore. >> if i could adds this is an interesting example we're doing that and the new development looking at it if scratch so a cluster development to the effect potentially even the bcdc permission do selective filing for the habitat restoration with the ability to break down the storm that will be a great laboratory. >> commissioner moore. >> the most critical question in safely rise and not to creative a city against the waterfront but credentially

raise the city's buildings to deal with the future rise and somehow participate in the waterfront one of the works not to do is basically the waterfront needs to be part of waterfront with the vertical wall against the wonderful promenade against it when you're at the wart they're basically walking angle the wall and if treasure island the mr. haney there was on idea to file the entire island with the anticipation of the long rise in safely and since the development started there is enough room to create generously levees do

appear like a wall on the side of the islands there is a waterfront as part of the living experience it is a soot especially thing and san francisco has a varied waterfront it is interesting to see how you ultimate do that successfully i'm excited we're approaching this and you're basically specifically to participate with the design solutions that address the location of the specific sit of the city we have a huge challenge. >> thanks director rahaim. >> thanks i wanted to thank staff gil and others public works for their leadership and diane and lisa and all the agencies that have been involved i - it is another one of the areas the department is kind of breaking ground we're not

experts we lien as we go and particularly i'm excited about the partnerships which is a classic case by transportation the city borders are meaninglessless and i'm excited about the design challenge and thinking of ways we can address the sea level rise but actually it is not about walls it is about creating a new approach to the waterfront and looting opportunities there we can actually have a more interesting way the long run it is an exciting time to be learn about this stuff and excited about the partnership and supervisor benson. >> commissioner moore. >> if i may director rahaim i want to plug in and thank the port their pro-active attitudes towards the park and pierce for sea level rise is a first step

in the right direction and active project underway and the process of being implemented i want to acknowledge them for that. >> okay commissioners, if there's nothing further, we'll move on to item 10 psa for the conditional use authorization the north of market a planning code amendment. >> diego sanchez with the planning staff i'll ask to amend the plan with the massage in the north district, however, before i continue i'd like to provide bobby lopez of supervisor kim's with time to present to you.

>> good afternoon. supervisors i'm bearing are on behalf of supervisor kim first of all, thank you for your kind consideration of the legislation before you as you may know supervisor wasserman has pissed put forward this to change the special use district to allow the massage to be a cpa or barber shop it needs to be a hospital or general care facility and thank you for proscribing this i wanted to get a context history as it relates to massage establishment in the north of market was instituted when neighborhood heath was considered a priority in regards to potential behavior that occurred at the massage establishments at that point in history historically with the

city of san francisco there is a shift how we handle massage establishments through the police department and moved to 2004 to public health and recently with the changing nature of the tenderloin and north of market it is different and shifting towards the massage therapy to update the current legislation to really through the positive changes the neighborhoods and the community efforts to encourage new businesses into the intend to that strikes a balance to support multiple used for the conditional use i hope that you agree with the staff recommendation to approve that thank you very much. >> thank you. >> commissioner the planning department parrots this it achieves the goal of therapeutic

massage far the establishments by 3 ways it relaxed the controls on the massages the special use district and operating standards with those in exist health and planning codes restricts and maintains the conditional use requirement the last requirements is key because it allows on analysis of concentration and allows the commission to place additional conditions of approval if you find overseeing necessary and you conditional use authorization is you ultimately revocable when it is arriving in an establishment that concludes my presentation. i'll be happy to answer any questions you may have. >> thank you. >> thank you. >> opening it up for public comment we have one speaker card randy shaw. >> thank you, commissioners

randy with the economics i'm helping the projects sponsors they show a timely picture i'll show you that would if that's okay give you a flavor for that wonderful project and you'll not building the architecture of this picture you want to should them. >> put them on the overhead. >> you can try plugging them in there or lay the laptop on the screen side and they'll view that as well. >> this is what they inherited

they had a first story garage it someone else might have down the road is that i have restored that as you can see notice the glass windows used to be a solid brick front now auto glasses it so beautiful this is what our space looked like like randy said a garage i'm carolyn by the way, thank you show you a picture now the fronts of the key room you can see the windows this is a sample we have inspired by japanese restaurants that compliments the space a little bit about the memo i'm an aufbt

acupuncturist and studied the formulas and other altercation tease the hallway we have 6 treatment rooms and back the come municipal area the back a photo kind of showing it is hard to take a picture 8 and a half by 12 feet and there will be screen doors that have no locks there will be very on the whole environment is open and safe and healing the other two pictures the back come municipal a steam bath this is hesita
