it and more development. --- any questions or comments from colleagues? >> supervisor mar: i want to thank you for working with us and organizing the (unintelligible). so lucky to have you. >> supervisor tang: at this time am going to open it up for public comment. a representative from supervisor's -- office is her.e >> hi supervisors. supervisor kim is actually excited by this selection. ana gee is a longtime resident and chair tang as you noted, it is an area that needs open space with the highest density of children, it is in

desperate need of open space and ana gee is one of the folks that has been a huge choice to make sure that local parks are moving along, making sure that we have more open space. --- as a mother, immigrant and activist her voice is extremely needed. i want to give you some fun facts that you may have seen in her application by her background is in anthropology. she has a statistical analysis background. it is a helpful area. thank you in advance. >> supervisor tang: thank you very much. any other speakers for item 3? come on upu. >> good morning supervisors. my name is stephen janice (sounds like). i have lived in

seen on the public comments are closed. colleagues you have a motion. >> supervisor mar: i mostly appoint ana to seat 17 to the prosac, park creation and open space advisory committee. >> supervisor tang: i'll take that without objection. congratulations. mr. clerk call item four. >> hearing to consider appointing one member term ending january first, 2020. >> supervisor tang: we have one applicant, marina pelosi.

anyone here to speak on behalf of marina? seeing none, public comment closed. i'm fine with appointing marina to seat 2. >> supervisor mar: so moved. >> seconded. >> supervisor tang: i will take that without objection and congratulations ms. pelosi. item 5. >> hearing to consider appointing three members terms ending april 30, 2018. seven applicants. >> supervisor tang: this is going to be a little tougher. three seats, seven applicants. some withdrew. amy van nest, -- brandy kuentzel and maria conlon have

withdrawn. when you come on up please state the name for the record as well. >> good morning supervisors im annemarie fortier. i have been a chairperson for the past year succeeding the previous chairperson who held the position for seven years. having come into the commission last year as chairperson i'm sure you can all relate to finding my sealegs and understanding the process and what not. i'm getting the hang of it and it would like to continue to serve in this capacity on the commission. --- i'm a 20 year resident of district 2. have been a dog guardian for most of that time.

i enjoy the work in the commission and bring the respective of dog guardian and also a parent, and a frequent user of the outdoor space. finding a balance between all these groups is critical to the health of our people, our animals and our natural spaces so i would love the opportunity to continue to serve an eye appreciate your consideration. >> supervisor tang: thank you very much. i guess for both of the applicant here, are there any sort of particular issues that you would like to address facing whether it is animal welfare, or i know that there are a lot of other issues concerning animals out there. >> one of the biggest things we are considering now is the bond measure. we had hoped to be part of the measure, and we see some of the financing and that is not going

to happen. we hope that you supervisors will allow the funding for the new animal care and control facility to proceed. it was intended to be a temporary facility. i want to say 1980 something. it's held up, but it is sorely lacking. we are very passionate. like us at all of us on the commission care about the safety, the animals and people in both of those groups are at risk in the event of an emergency in our city. --- another issue is we are generally groups in opposition on the restrictions of the (unintelligible) off-leash areas proposed. we are also concerned about the process. we feel that over several years the tgnra has given the public an opportunity to speak and when they came out with the recent guidelines they seem to

not reflect much of what i have seen, the views of our citizens. that is another issue that will be coming up. >> supervisor tang: great, thank a very much. >> i have something to say about another applicant, may i do that? >> that can be done at the public comments. >> i am (unintelligible) -- had been in small animal private practice in san francisco for about the last four years. prior to that was working in an animal shelter capacity at the humane society in santa rosa, walnut creek. --- during my, was involved with animal control in my county so i have been involved with

animal shelters. --- have been crisscrossing all of the neighborhoods. i have been doing that for about a year and gotten to know the city even better than i would have imagined. >> supervisor mar: she is a mobile vet. that's pretty cool. >> i go to people's houses and see the pets at their homes. i am a lifetime girl scout; my dad is on the (unintelligible) board of directors for his whole life. it is something that we do without question. --- but to me, i feel we cannot function in the community without citizens getting involved. you cannot complain about something without taking action. have also been heavily involved with the american veterinary association on the national level since about 2008, first as a student

delegate then on the executive as a student. i have been working with veterniary students across the board. --- my goal as a member is to help provide medical background on any issues that may come up. public health issues, animal issues involving animals, i feel my background will be important. thank you for your consideration to be on the animal control and welfare commission.

>> is there currently a veterinary on the board? >> currently not (unintelligible). >> supervisor tang: i want to provide an update because i know this was mentioned. we did this on tuesday at the board of supervisors, another step to make the rebuild of animal control and reality. we passed legislation regarding certificates of participation proceeds followed by legislation that will be trailing in the fall. again we are making good progress as the city on our commitment to provide any facility for the animals there and the employees by the way. --- at this time will open up item 5 for public comment. if anyone wants to come up these come to the podium. >> thank you supervisors. i would like to say on behalf of doctor hansen, is extremely help for the have a

veterinarian on the commission. oftentimes we are presented with issues from the public were we have questions among ourselves. we hear things about specific breeds of animals or types of animals, characteristics or particular issues and commissioners might not be aware of them. having a veterinarian there is extremely helpful when we are considering these issues. i would love to see doctor hansen appointed to this board, someone who has experience. --- secondly a would like to make a comment about bunny rosenberg. it would be refreshing to have a little critters' person. ms. rosenberg has been involved with the animal community for many years and we see her regularly and she would be a nice addition to our commission.

>> supervisor tang: next speaker please. >> the morning my name is sally stevens i served on the commission for seven years and that would like to speak enthusiastically in support for annemarie's reappointment. i was delighted when she took over as chair when ice stepped down. basically everything falls on the chair to figure out so i wanted to say from someone who has been there it is hard and i'm know that she probably feels she is just hitting her stride. i urge you to reappoint her. --- would also like to speak in support of the veterinarian;

there is one seat reserved for a veterinarian and it is important to have someone there. it is hard to get a lot of veterinarians to agree to serve. to some extent someone who is willing, don't let her get away! --- as for the third position that is open i don't know any of the three other people. just looking at their resumes, i was impressed by nicolle "bunny" matthews rosenberg but i cannot say for personal experience. thank you very much. >> supervisor tang: any members of the public who wish to comment on item 5? >> with quick with annemarie. i've only recently started going to the meetings. i don't know her personally but seeing her at those eating she

knows what she is doing and she is done a very good job of keeping things on track and on time and making sure people do get a voice in keeping things organized. --- she has been helpful in the understanding the application process. from the little bit and have seen i would say she has been a great commission member. >> supervisor tang: any other persons wish to speak? item disclosed. --- for six (correction) four seat seven, only one applicant. >> i make that motion. >> supervisor tang: we will confirm dr. hansen for

seven. that takes care of seats 1 and 7. we have seat 2 left. --- looking over the applicant's i would like to give nicolle the opportunity to serve even though she was not appointed before. i like her continued dedication. i would be okay with moving forward with ms. rosenberg for seat 2.

seconded by supervisor mar. we will take that up without objection. confirmed. congratulations. --- mr. clerk of the could call item six. >> an ordinance exempting california state university fresno foundation from the nonprofit public access ordinance. >> supervisor tang: thank you. we have someone here from my believe hsa. >> good morning supervisors. my name is -- contract manager with the human services agency. with me is john sitikaway (sounds like), we are requesting a waiver on behalf of the csu fresno foundation. ---

hsa as context of the provision of title iv trainings. for child welfare proiders. hsa and (unintelligible) are all contract terms. the foundation is asking to waive the 12-hr requirement as they feel they substantially meet the public exit requirement and will have to make considerable changes to their procedures to meet requirements by the city. --- the foundation adheres to an is bound by the requirements under the california education code. rather than the (unintelligible) meetings a year, csu is required to have all meetings public with a seven day notice period. it is important to avoid taking any action until it has

been made public for the seven days. --- with regards to meeting representation csu has provisions in place to advocate participation from university alumni and members of the committee. records are available for public inspection upon request during operational hours. the 12 hour requirement for community representation will require procedure and policy changes that would prove a bit burdensome to the foundation since it has to adhere to the california code in parallel . >> supervisor tang: it was a pretty thorough explanation. the school will adhere to public transparency and openness. i don't think we are forgoing any of that bypassing this

today. thank yousee no questions or comments from college we will open up items six for comments. >> good morning david (unintelligible) speaking as an individual. despite the action of the board eye continue to follow public access in public records particularly (unintelligible), a number of times about the dilemma with the csu fresno foundation and how to deal with the 12 hour requirement. --- this is the first time in my knowledge in the 18 years that the nonprofit public ordinance has existed that the board has proposed to exempt a contractor from its requirements. i think that

doing so would thwart the public access requirements. i think there are a couple of options for the board. you could pass this ordinance; that would set a bad precedent. --- i'm not quite clear of the title iv requirements or the specifics of the contract between hsa dn the foundation, but of the services on the provided to the city employees and the city employs them provide direct training to actual members of the public, that i've believe the contract would not be subject to 12l. but again i'm not sure how those title iv requirements work. alternatively we should have another discussion about 12l. it's been 18 years. maybe they are specific about what is covered and what

entities are subject to it and if it could narrow the scope to just those agencies that provide services, direct services to the public and are headquartered in san francisco or the bay area. it is difficult to go to fresno to attend one of these meetings or attempt to be on their board. >> supervisor tang: thank you. any other numbers of the public who wish to speak on and six? >> good morning miami john citikawa (sounds like) with hsa, contract director. in response to the comment.it's basically the training for masters level child welfare staff whether it is risk assessment or case management. the foundation serves primarily fiscal agencies; we have what is called the bay area academy. the staff of coordinates and

provides the training. different universities have acted as a fiscal agent; we have had it with san francisco state, berkeley, cal state, east bay and currently we are working with fresno. primarily this contract is directed to hsa staffing. >> supervisor tang: thank you very much. any other members of the public or wish to comment on item 6? seeing none, public comment is closed. it's not like there isn't going to be any public processor transparency; in fact seems they will be more. if we could get a motion item 6. >> supervisor mar: i make the motion.

>> supervisor tang: adopted. item 7. >> -seven is a resolution urging the san francisco county transportation authority in partnership with the mayor's office and the san franciscan miscible transportation agency to develop a san francisco transportation expenditure plan for potential consideration in the november 2016 ballot. >> have been working closely with the future as in november, a half-cent sales tax for transportation, and it would like to thank supervisor avalos for his partnership and collaboration. colleagues we have absolutely

massive transportation needs in san francisco and regionally. san francisco is projected to break a million people an and the bay area more than two million people. we will have more cars and it is hard to imagine that but that is where we are headed. we have a deteriorated and insufficient public transportation system. we are working hard to improve muni and cal train, get a high-speed train. rehabilitating bart and so forth. --- mayor lee a few years ago convened the constitution 2030

task force to come up with funding sources for the multibillion-dollar pull that we have for the petition in san francisco. the three major recommendations or a transportation bond to come up periodically, and thank you to the voters we passed the bond in nov. 2014. --- the next step is the half cent sales tax. and also to help san francisco to be a good regional partner. we need to help bart and caltrain. this resolution colleagues is the first step towards a half percent transportation sales

tax, allowing the county competition (correction) transportation authority. we are doing really good outreach in the community. so we can move forward. i have distributed an amendment. a series of minor amendments clarifying the intent of the resolution. they are more significant amendments, one on page 2, line 13, inserting two "whereas" clauses. the mta has adopted a free muni program for youth, seniors and disabled persons. service performance improvement for low-income transit in the community and to the adoption of the transportation 2030

recommendations -- policy to build 50 into our transportation system to end all severe traffic injuries by 2024. preventing severe end of the crashes on our street and (unintelligible) behavior on the road. --- on page 2, line 18, inserting quote -- expand services to fully utilize these resources and provide transit services and -- and on page 19. inserting whereas (unintelligible). and then finally on page 3, line 3, inserting "including priorities that emerge after the task force convenes --

safety." --- i want to thank in addition to supervisor avalos, the mta and the petition authority for working closely with my office and with the community to really fine-tune a good expenditure plan. having a good extent of the plan for transit service, vision 0, for roads, for regional, for our commitment is important in terms of spending funds wisely. --- after the public comment i will move these amendments. i don't know if you like to say something on behalf of supervisor avalos. >> supervisor tang:

all right. >> good afternoon chair tang. (unintelligible). legislative aide to supervisor avalos. --- supervisor avalos is glad to work -- and working on expenditure plan and supervisor avalos reiterates the importance of the program -- the muni equity -- let me get it right -- muni service equity strategy. especially to provide -- evidence of the sales tax will be used to benefit the most

disadvantaged communities in san francisco, countering any concerns about the aggressive nature of the cell stacks.>> supervisor tang: thank you very much. supervisor mar? >> like to thank supervisors weiner and avalos. this helps balance it out with equity. i am pleased about emphasis on public engagement. anytime there is a -- making sure that it is not just the department heads, making sure we spend the money as supervisor weiner laid it out. >> supervisor tang:

thank you very much supervisor mar. i know there are many details to sort out. without any further questions or comments i will open this item up to public comment. anyone who wishes to speak please come on up. >> nicole ferrara (sounds like), executive director of (unintelligible). i want to reiterate the comments earlier. and reiterate that the transportation justice coalition of the working in partnership for many years with both supervisors to make sure that we do fill the much-needed transportation funding gap. there is a gap of 21 billion dollars over the next 20 years just on the mta

side. this sales tax is desperately needed. as our housing grows we need to make sure that people can get to and from jobs and recreation and anything. --- we need to make sure that that happens equitably and sustainably and safely. we are excited about the language moving forward. there are continuing conversations; we will be part of those conversations and look forward to making sure that a transportation specific measure gets on the november ballot with your support. thanks. >> supervisor tang: thank you. next speaker please. >> david -- speaking as an individual, speaking in support of this measure. there is no question that we have substantial capital needs in transportation.

i think there is some debate and healthy debate about the funding sources. in 1989 and 2003 there was an expenditure plan advisory committee. i don't know if it is contemplated that they will be an advisory committee set up. i served in both of those and i would be interested serving on it. --- i know there is discussion about the measure in november; there may be measured from the school district or other places so this is not a slamdunk at all. it is important to have people on the table soon. obviously

there is not a lot of time to tweak this. i stand in support of this measure and am fine with the amendments. thank you very much. >> supervisor tang: any other member of the public wishes to speak? seeing none public comment is close. >> thank you for the numbers of the community who participated. this is an ongoing process with a lot of work. we are in close contact with the mayor's office in addition to the mta and we look forward to continuing to work with the mayor the more broad-based effort this is the stronger it will be going to the ballot. >> supervisor mar: i move the amendment.

>> we will take that up without objection. >> supervisor tang: mr. clerk do we have any other items? >> no. >> supervisor tang: the meeting is adjourned. --- >> good morning, everybody. welcome to the board of supervisors budget & finance committee for monday, may 2, 2016, my name is mark farrell chairing the committee and joined by supervisor katie tang
